That's what we had . . . are you calling me weird??

:lol: Isn't that a prerequisite for being on the silly thread?

I don't know, it's just all of my friends' weddings that I've been to have been on the larger side and had 4-5 bridesmaids/groomsmen. I'm afraid that my vision of a small, intimate wedding is going to end up looking like a country bumpkin kinda thing. I don't want it to look like we're doing things on the cheap! I'm scared to death my wedding will be that lame-o wedding that everyone refers to when they talk about bad/weird weddings. I think I may be obsessing a little bit . . .

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and my mind swirling with guest list issues. Is it weird to only have a maid of honour and a best man and no others in the wedding party? So many things to figure out!

Alex....the most crucial names are OURS. :rolleyes:;)

One maid of honoUr and best man is an excellent approach. The least complicated, most inexpensive, and very classy. Okay, there, that's taken care of.... :lol:

Don't worry! You guys won't get cut. The list goes parents, grandparents, siblings and then you guys. Anyone want to volunteer to be the emcee?

No, but I think you can count on us to be the embarrassing drunk relative(s) that talk too loud and . . . fart.

Now there's an idea!!! If not, I'm sure he could manage being the DJ. I'm sure he's got good taste in music!!! Ahhhhh . . . music makes me remember that we need to pick a wedding song! I was always the one at weddings secretly making fun of people's lame, corny wedding song choices. So now I CANNOT have a lame song.

I know how you feel Alex, I thought I needed a planner too but everything does come together.

Jacquie and I had two supporters each. Our biggest challenge was trying to balance the guest list--her initial list was about twice the size of mine. She trimmed and I added. :unsure:

Whatever song YOU choose will be perfect for YOUR special day. :)

I will be in the lab friday evening Sillies....I had to say yes. I will probably work till 8 or so. Overtime in the lab means 21 bucks an hour so I try to work longer hours on Fridays since I dont have to go to my day job.

I work with this woman who is grossed out by bodies and specimens and such and she cannot understand how I can work in the lab. I just tell her you get used to it...

Calm thyself, dear one. We are here to help. :) All brides obsess. We can help you think of simple, beautiful, tasteful ideas. I did a few weddings and MANY MANY parties in Carmel - flowers, decor, aesthetics - - we'll give you ideas. :)

OMG sillies - - - bear with me - - must interject a moment of bittersweet sadness into the silly thread.

I have to put Stinker's photo up one more time - - taken last summer - - even in her decrepit, aged, demented and frail state - - she still found a ball at the lake and wanted to fetch. :) Today, I don't know why, I am missing her SO SO much. :( I've posted her photo, but this will be her last one, I think, and I"ll take it down soon. But taking her picture down is just so......final.......... *sigh*

So.......recently I found the "mastercard" commercial I wrote for her a few years ago.... I was weeping as I dropped her off at the vet for yet another assault to her body and dignity.....she had already had her 1.5 years of chemo, which included 10 weekly trips to the vet for IV injections, then twice monthly, then monthly. The vet techs always remarked how stoically adn quietly she sat in there, observing everything and never even making a whimper, while most other dogs yelped and whined. She was such a noble, strong, fierce and brilliant girl. There'll never be another like her. :wub:

So.....she developed this tumour on the back of her neck that I'd been draining every few days for months - a liquid-filled cyst taht eventually became quite gross, necessitating removal.

I dropped her off at the vet and just wept on the 30-minute drive home, and composed this in my head:

Blood work $65

TumoUr removal $175

Dental cleaning $45

Anal gland expression (gads) $12

IV fluids $60

Biopsy of tumoUr $50

Tranquilizers/pain meds $50

Thyroid meds $60

Smiling, spiral-tail-wagging, lizard-stomping, howling-on-command, preternaturally happy and curious brown-eyed, Dingo-like yellow dog....my co-worker, my joy at the beach, sentry at the gate, constant companion, and silent, adoring witness to my life......priceless.

Thanks, sillies.............

...priceless.

That she was, Susie :)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! A "quick trip" to the basement? How do you know when it's safe to emerge? :o

What did you guys do down there? games, snacks, WHAT?

And BTW - those other Donnas and Colleen.....they are back in their makeup cult. I don't think Mango's letting them out any more. :ph34r:

I'm BAAAACK.......can't get rid of me that easily! I had surgery last week and I am just getting back to feeling better .....I have not been on the makeup thread either so there really has been no favoritism :D Boy I was just catching up, now I have to start all over again....Has Amy Winehouse aka Richard been returned yet or is he still being held hostage. Hope all is well and look forward to much more mentally stimulating chat :)

May God bless both of you, and provide strength to you and Annie.

Oh Susie she was priceless...

Alex- I did not have a big wedding. If you want any pointers feel free to ask. Oriental Trading and Ebay are great places to find things. I did a beach theme. If you want I can show you some of our pics. Just PM me if you need anything.

Is it weird to only have a maid of honour and a best man and no others in the wedding party?

. . . and you are picking me to be your maid of honoUr, right??

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I missed something....why are you guys counting?

Darn210 Enthusiast

Amanda!!!!! :lol::lol::lol: Here it is . . . reinacted, so to speak.

(it has occurred to me how little gas I have now that am gluten-free - - probably less than 10 GASSERS a day and some days, good Lord, probably zero. Will start monitoring and counting, though, adn update here. ;) )

All right, starting tomorrow, as soon as everyone awakens, we are keeping a running count. We must report in with our number every three or four hours. This is truly what the Silly Thread is all about...I'm surprised this hasn't been done before! Okay, so it's usually Amanda and I posting first in the morning...we'll have the first entries. Now, we're all on our honoUr....no cheating or fibbing!! :lol::lol:

:o surgery? what?! Well, Babs, nice to have you back. ;) no sign of Richard. Now we are beyond worried, adn just plain......furious. Bev is going to give her famous Dutch Oven treatment later on tonight. :lol: :lol:

gah!!!!!!! the hell you say!!!!!! 'tis me!!!!!!!!!! everyone knows that! I am the FAMOUS one, remember?????????? :P

OMG - what was my count earlier today? three or four? can't remember.....it's still the same. Nary a fart since the last one, before noon.

:lol:

Funny how one notices these things now.

Tomorrow, I shall tell you about Gail's long-ago breakup scenario, which did in fact involve a gaseous man - whom she now calls Farter Starter. :lol: we don't know why, it's just funny. And, the title of that very short story is:

The Passive-Aggressive Act of Parting by Farting.

pull my finger?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

off to bed with my book and my wee dingo.

:wub:

Darn210 Enthusiast

I'm off to bed, too, but just an update on our freaky weather . . . along with the tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings, we had hail, 50-60 mph winds and the temp was around 52 or so a little over three hours ago and now it is 14 (that's Fahrenheit, folks!). Gads!!! I hate the bus stop . . . how old do the kids have to be before I can send them out on there own??

tom Contributor
Amanda!!!!! :lol::lol::lol: Here it is . . . reinacted, so to speak.

:o gotta hold down the rewind button << a little longer :huh:

Emily started it off by recounting <no pun intended .. . . ..no really> the tale of her DH's running total, updated by email through the day w/ an astounding triple-digits by dinner and .. . . .how'd it go? :lol: "after dinner, all hell broke loose" ROFL :lol::lol::lol:

Her adding that the avg was 10-18 per day sealed it. How could we NOT launch Project Fart Chart?

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
