Just be sure you don't use heinosity in your normal emails, must remind my friends it's not a real word. :lol:

What on earth is the noun form of HEINOUS? Heinousness? Heinousation? Hmmmmm...

I love when dogs think you've thrown the stick!!

Nikki does have a point though . . . most of those firefighter have a job on the side and a lot of them do contract/construction type of work. I'm sure you could get one to lay a hardwood floor for you in exchange for sexal favoUrs.

Exactly, and then it would be sex with some meaning....you'd be meaning to get your floors fixed up--there you go!

Josie knows how to tell time. If someone (one of the kids) hasn't fed her by 8:00 am (and again by 6:00pm), then she stands in front of them and barks. She also knows when it's time for the school bus to come.

Gus is amazing this way, too. And I don't know how he knows when the mailman is coming, because the time does change day to day, but he'll start his mailman-coming bark about ten minutes before the guy is at our house. I think Gus smells him from blocks away with his very brown nose. :rolleyes:

Glad the Renaissance is comin' back, Tom!! :):)

......also, fairly sure a firefighter would be able to lay said wood :ph34r:

This statement strikes me as having multiple meanings....or at least two that come to mind :lol:

:ph34r:

Need a change?? ......a restyle???? :unsure: (I am thinking of it....but it's quite scary)

A total rehaul :lol: , and so true it is quite scary! Especially with curly hair, it's so unpredictable :lol:

I think maybe I just need a really good cut, it's hard to find someone though who understands how to speak the language of curly hair.

Yes, and today as well...already quite warm outside! :)

Sounds lovely, things have been on the mild side here lately....not too cold, but not exactly warm. At least it's been sunny and clear!

That's a smart cookie of a dog you have :lol:

My friend's dogs have that sense when their Daddy is several blocks away, they start to get real antsy and run around the house and then they go wait at the door, never fail 5 or 10 minutes later the garage goes up and he's home.

Oh what gorgeous day!

Was just out enjoying the Vietnamese Tet Parade!!! (Lunar New Year btw) Parade start point is just 2 blocks away, and the staging area extends to MY street!!

Kinda bummed that I *had* to come home to watch my U of Az Wildcats play the rival scumdevils in bball, BUT . ...the festival part will be all afternoon I think. :)

Wish I had a better camera on this ph. :(

Oh Sillies no good news to report today....

John is very ill again with bronchitis.....

Landen the baby below is in the ER the Dr feels he may have RSV....which can be very bad for a small baby.

I just got back from the store so I can make him some homemade soup...John that is.

I was just telling my dad this yesterday...how they should get a Wii at their retirement home. .. .

Grand idea!!

Just read yesterday about it being used for what they call Wii-habilitation from injuries.

I'm sad about my dad....anyone see the thread I started in testing/symptoms?

Will look asap.

. .. .

. .Stupid other intolerances :angry:

:angry: you 'n' me both, darlin' :angry:

Today we did find a duplex with both sides up for sale and a very cheap price!

Wow THAT was quick!!

Arg!!! Totally frustrating day! My brother called me this morning and he sounded really sick -- said he had a cough and chest pain and said felt like he had a fever. I just saw him a couple days prior and he was healthy, although he did seem a bit tired. I went to his place to see him and his breathing was pretty laboured so I decided to take him to the ER. They did a chest Xray and thought it looked like "moderate" pneumonia so they prescribed some antibiotics and sent him on his way with directions to see his GP in a couple of days for a follow-up.

Medically, I don't think he needs to be in the hospital -- his O2 sat and all that stuff was good-- but he can sometimes have trouble taking care of himself even when healthy and I would have just felt better if he had been admitted. We're going to contact his wonderful social worker tomorrow to see if anything can be done, like visits from a the VON or something. (Um, my brother is a great guy who just has some troubling issues and has been in very deep depressions by time. We were able to get him a social worker a few years back when things were really bad for him and so she still checks in on him on occasion to make sure things are going well. I really don't want you to get the wrong idea about my brother -- he's a terrific guy -- just needs a little help by times.)

Anyway, I stayed with Colin this afternoon and our dad's going to stay overnight with him. Hopefully the social worker can help us get something set up tomorrow. Anyway, sorry for unloading all of this unfunniness on all of you. I guess I just needed to get it off my chest. I know it's not a huge deal it just upsets me to see him go through a possible setback when he'd been doing so well. :(

As a side note, Colin's dog would not leave his side all day and was curled up beside him in bed when I left his place a few hours ago. Dogs really just seem to know when their human needs a little extra love :). I honestly think that dog has been just as important as the medication in treating my brother's depressive episodes.

Everything was going just swimmingly and then my dad's accident and Colin getting sick . . . when it rains it pours I guess. This too shall pass, right???

:lol: Well, that's why I made UP heinosity, 'tis the noun form of the word. V. useful. :lol: *snigger*

The outrageousness of the heinosity left a veritable pall over the whole parade. :lol:

I think maybe I just need a really good cut, it's hard to find someone though who understands how to speak the language of curly hair.

Julie, have you tried Ouidad products? They are said to be the absolute best for curly hair. Outrageously priced, of course. <_<

Um, I hesitate to ask, I am scared of the answer, but any news on that sad, cold, old dog across the street? Annie and I want him to come live wif us. :)

Oh Sillies no good news to report today....

John is very ill again with bronchitis.....

:( oh amanda, so sorry about John and that baby. Saying prayers.....

Yay!

Now

:unsure: the mojo......a very fleeting, tentative thing. The harder one tries to hold onto it, the more it can just....slip through one's fingers. 'Tis a bit like a hummingbird.....when it decides to light on an object, well.......

I don't have any Deep Thoughts to complete this sentence. :blink:

I really don't want you to get the wrong idea about my brother -- he's a terrific guy -- just needs a little help by times.)

:) As do we all. He is so lucky to have you, your dad, and the social worker, AND his dog. And you are right, dogs are SO good for the mental health........I'd have been dead without mine, most likely.

And......I KNOW I"m not the queen........but I have a NEW EDICT AND PROCLAMATION: Sillies are NEVER, ever to apologize for venting about the sad news or serious issues of our lives. NEVER, do you all hear me???????????? Yes, this IS the silly thread, but, we do care about each other and are here to listen to eveyrthing - - the silly, the mundane, the absurd (oh we are SO good at the absurd!), :lol: , the good, bad, and ugly.

There now. I feel better. :)

Everything was going just swimmingly and then my dad's accident and Colin getting sick . . . when it rains it pours I guess. This too shall pass, right???

:) Yes, darlin, this too shall pass.

OMG - I've finished the carpets - - - YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: Sparkling clean and fresh here, my body is in enormous pain after this marathon shampooing, and now must return the vile machine to the store.

See you sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW - my whole head is a hedgehog todya. :huh: v. v. v. bad hair. Going to the sah-lahn on Tuesday to ameliorate and kill the wee hoglets. ;)

On our honeymoon, John got severe pneumonia, he was sent home with antibodtics. I cant spell. They also gave him prednisone, and that cleared it up. Hope he gets better soon.

Aint that right :) it will pass, my mom always said things happen in 3's. I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts

My heart goes out to you, Alex. I think many of us have lovely, yet needy, relatives. As Susie said, he's lucky to have you...and a great dog! Thinking about you guys.....

So, watching the Grammys as I type. Rumour has it that MJ may be making an appearance. That could be why he appeared on me arse, guys...to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Thriller. You know, it makes sense...choosing an absolutely average, unknown Canadian woman, and emblazoning her bewtocks with a sign. This has the mark of MJ all over it...He just may mention my name in front of millions this evening. Mygawd, maybe there's a picture of this miraculous effigy to be flashed on the jumbotron. Gaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh....!! :lol::lol::lol:

Thanks for all your thoughts, I may have never met you guys but I have your support everyday and I love that. Thanks for always being here :)

LOL! made me laugh tonight

Landen is smiling tonight and seems to have a little more energy. Jen does not have to work until Tuesday evening so if he is doing much better, she will go to work and he will stay with us. Instead of dragging him out in the cold to the babysitters.

John is not so well, hopefully in time.

The wind is still whipping my house.

Any word from Alex tonight?

I am actually thinking of having it cut like Open Original Shared Link....but am VERY scared..........whatchall think??????????

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Morning Nikki

I hate getting my hair cut. I just got it highlighted and cut 3 weeks ago....it was layered which I do get done frequently. I did blonde and red highlights which was a big move for me....I am starting to like it now. The cut....I think the layers are all off, looks very strange, unlike a layer I ever did before. Then to top off the shock...the price tag!!! I almost felt my legs give way.

Anyway, was a cold walk from the parking lot to the building this morning, it is 4 outside but the windchill is down below zero somewhere.

John stayed home sick, yesterday at some point he turned the thermostat down since he was way too hot....well I finally figured it out at 4 am. It was 67 in our house, and like 10 below outside, plus the wind was blowing hard against the house, and we are an end unit. I woke up shivering...literally. Coldest night of the year, goofy John.

Emily where are you, I don't even see you peeking yet...I need the brain, I work today :):)

Ohhhh, it's cold here. Minus fifteen. Blechhhh....

I noticed the word in the hilarious site that Janet posted...an unofficial Canadian dictionary. Arseveur is likely from the East Coast boating communities, denoting one end of a canoe or rowboat ("that there's the end where the arse of hers goes. Mine goes up here")..... :lol:

Tom!! Did you chart them? Did they form a fascinating astrological symbol, something that coincides with certain planetary positions and yearly cycles? Could be in the shape of a hippopotamus, or gerbil. Maybe it could reveal to you your Totem, or Norse Rune.... :rolleyes::lol::lol:

OK, first of all . . . Hope everyone is feeling better. This includes all sillies, silly siblings, silly children, silly spouses, silly neighboUrs, silly parents, silly friends and silly pets. And Alex!!! for (oracle) Pete's sake, why shouldn't you get to be unsilly once in a while when the rest of us do it all the time?

Nikki - I love the Kylie Kut.

Here is the actual email I sent my daughter's teachers this morning (she has three):

My daughter is out for one more (and hopefully last) day. Could you please send any work home with her brother and we will get started catching up. Or for all you teachers that hate to see a preposition at the end of a sentence . . . We will get started with the up catching.

Now tell me that I have not been overly influenced by the lot of you.

:lol::lol:

Oh!! I'm afraid I MUST, at this time, insert a mini (I promise) grammar lesson. This will make everyone feel a little better, perhaps less intimidated, by the dreaded preposition usage.

Janet, your original use of "up" in your note was correct, and needed no alteration. This is due to the fact that it was part of what we call a phrasal verb. These are maddening (at least, for second-language learners) verb forms that consist of a verb and one or more prepositions. Together they act as one word, a verb, and are treated as such grammatically. Sentences in English can correctly end with a verb, therefore they can end with a phrasal verb. There are hundreds of these in our idiom. You used catch up, Janet, meaning to get past work done. There's break off, carry out, do without, give up, look for, etcetera etcetera.

...And therefore, the beautiful quote of my all-time hero W. Churchill is in fact unnecessary. He could correctly have said, "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something that I shall not put up with", as "put up with" is a phrasal verb.

There you go! I'm sure you've all been racked with frustration and wonder at the world of phrasal verbs..... :lol::lol::rolleyes:

For all you curly haired girls, there's a book called (I think) Curly Girl. My hairdresser, who is part of my commute group recommended it to the one woman with curly hair. It's apparently got some useful tips.

So John is on his way back to the dr, his family dr, yesterday he was seen in our hospitals clinic. They gave him Cipro, which he started taking, now he has a rash going up his arms which is itchy and huge. He also feels floored as he describes it to me. So now he is off to the dr. Hope he gets better soon. I am really worrying about him.

Rap, my friends, if I may state a strong opinion, is the DEATH of a society, I have decided. Surely extinction is next for our species........ :huh: I watched half the programME and found no one w/ talent at all. Um.......why, please tell me WHY, is Rihanna famous.........that song.............dear gawd........her voice......You know why she's famous?????? I"ll tell you. Because she thinks she is "all that" and........sure as the stigmata on our Average Unknown Canadian woman's arseuver, that is the ONLY reason. :blink:

      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn't eliminate gluten then? Or stop and start again closer to the appointment date. But I'm also on the wait list in case they can get me in sooner, because I'm losing weight. I don't want to have to go back and do it over again if I can help it. They also were unsure if there isn't something else wrong with my stomach, so that's a possibility. I don't have the details but from what I understood my blood tests results were positive but on the low end. So I'm getting mixed up here, do I go gluten-free or not? Would 2.5 months of being gluten-free make any noticable difference? 
    • knitty kitty
      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.  
    • ehb
      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily

      I just had my endoscopy the other day and the doctor took 12 samples because he said if we're going to find something we're going to find it today LOL. But when he got down there, he said everything looked good. So I have it in my head again that it's going to be negative because everyone I've heard of who had a positive biopsy had their endoscopies where the doctor was like yep, I can see the damage. My tissues all look great apparently. So if they come back negative, I'm not sure where to go from here. Could it still be a non-celiac gluten sensitivity even with my blood work? I thought NCGS didn't show up on blood tests. Is it possible that the biopsy still comes back positive even if everything looked healthy on endoscope? I had it done at a big hospital in the state, so I would think they'd have the kind of equipment where they'd be able to see it well. I even have pictures in my report and they don't seem to have the damage that others have seen.
    • trents
      That's just it. When they are doing an EGD, even with biopsy, if they aren't thinking about celiac disease they may miss it. They should take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and easily missed if sampling isn't through. And patch damage may explain lack of dramatic symptoms. Let me assure you that we frequently have posters on this forum who were silent celiacs for years and were diagnosed incidentally with celiac disease when their docs were checking for other things. They developed other medical problems such as anemia or vitamin and mineral deficiencies, neurological deficits, Hashimodo's thyroid, osteoporois, etc. - non GI symptoms - but their docs recognized those problems as often connected to celiac disease and had them checked for celiac disease, both blood antibody testing and biopsy, and found damage. A couple of years ago the Mayo Clinic did a large study involving over 300 people. They started with those officially diagnosed with celiac disease and also tested their first degree relatives. They found that almost 50% of  the first degree relatives tested positive for celiac disease and many or most were totally caught by surprise because they were largely asymptomatic. Their diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy. I really don't have anything more to say. You have some decisions to make.
