Did anybody else think . . . Of course Emily has someone's ashes in her closet . . . almost expected!!!!!

Gawd, I realize that this does not sound like it could possibly be true...old Aunt Rosie's ashes in our closet. But alas, it is. Hmmmm....although perhaps I give off the impression of being one who would have this kind of thing happening in my household. Gaaaaaadddd.... :lol:

This summer! I've put my foot down! DH procrastinated about it all last year, didn't know where to put her, and it's illegal to just toss her, computer-like, out a car or house window. So she's going this summer!...Dunno where.... <_<

solipsism: a theory holding that the self can know nothing but its own modifications and that the self is the only existent thing; also : extreme egocentrism

my new faaaaaaaaaaaavorite word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Heyy!! I've given Susie her new favorite word! :D I love the way it sounds...comes trippingly off the tongue. Really love the adjective..."That memoir is sooooo solipsistic".....

I have decided that I'm just going to use Emily's quote and not even try to come up with my own sentence . . . I had to go to dictionary.com to check the pronunciation . . . I don't want to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about!!! :lol::lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

OMG...but Janet, I haven't read the book...are you sure it is, in fact, solipsistic? I can just hear it now. One of your club members: "Uh, Janet....this book is not at all centred on the self. No navel-gazing, here. Are you just using large, sophisticated words to intimidate or simply impress us? Huh? Huh?" ;):lol:

absolute GLEE in Dingoland over this, yes!!!!!!!!!! Um, I think that is the FIRST word I've had to look up on this thread.....

YES, she absolutely CAN. Legally, no. But who cares? Not planning on having any cops over for the burial. DH seems to have a problem with this...feels that she'll be pooped on and dug up by Gus and the cats (so what? She's rubble! Not like they're gonna dig up her face, or somefin').....And he seems to think it quite acceptable to leave her in with his oxfords and smelly runners...go figger.

Poor old Rose...DH's only aunt. She was a very English character....never married, no kids. Quite a loner, and quite eccentric...and her favorite relative was Will. Hence, the ashes were taken by us because no one else knew what to do with them. Well, neither do we. So, she'll go under our big chestnut tree out back.

Hey! Why don't we bury her with Nick the budgie, come spring in our schoolyard? I wonder if she'd like this... <_<:huh:

I think that it might actually be legal to spread ashes in Ontario as long as it's not in a public waterway. So the Rideau Canal is out but beyond that she can go wherever you want! :P (um . . . that may have been an inappropriate emoticon for the subject at hand :ph34r: )

Colin was up to playing a few low key Wii games today -- it totally wore him out but he was bordering on jovial at times! My dad gave me some roses from him and Colin for an early valentine's gift today :wub: and he made us a glorious gluten-free stir fry. It was lovely!

I've just been reading along, wanting to jump in several times, but not feeling particularly silly lately...

Susie, I :wub: the picture of Annie in your avatar, such a super model that one.

Something's Gotta Give is one of my top faves too, Jack Nicholson is so hysterical, and the scene in the hospital with his hospital gown on (and the backside shot), OMG that kills me! :lol::lol:

Janet, have fun with your Book Club, hope the cake turned out ok :)

Nikki, you must give me some insight, why do people HATE Heather Mills with such a passion over there?

Well.......I wouldn't say our closet is exactly....squalid, now. :rolleyes:

Actually, I'm feeling quite guilty about it all since we've been speaking about it. I'm looking around the house, trying to spot a place we could put this urn. Doesn't go with anything...

Okay. I will assuage my guilt by cleaning up our closet. Very good.

I have heard of the chicken feathers thing.

Taco Bell

Well, a decision has been made.....(drumroll)....I'm going with an electric stove! I know you've been on the edge of your T seats so I wanted to let you know :lol:

I guess so :huh:

I like her too, she was lovely on DWTS and over the years I have seen her on Larry King talking about the different causes that she supports (land mines, saving the baby seals, animal rights, etc), she seemed/seems to be a genuine person.

Patti, good decision! I am sure you are relieved to have made it so all can get back to normal in your kitchen :D

Emily, this makes me sound like an idiot, but what exactly is the Yukon race your SIL is in??

Tom--it's the nice flat topped kind :)

That's exactly my stove, Patti. It's been great. All of your cookware has to be completely flat on the bottom, however, or they will heat unevenly and will wobble back and forth quite maddenly. Dunno if I've come up with any culinary masterpieces using it, but this surely has more to do with ME than the stove itself. <_<

I like her too, she was lovely on DWTS and over the years I have seen her on Larry King talking about the different causes that she supports (land mines, saving the baby seals, animal rights, etc), she seemed/seems to be a genuine person.

OMG.........

I did not want to mention my take on Ms. Mills, but I just cannot help myself at this point.....gaaaaaahhhhhhhh.....misinformed, combative, immature, at times imbecilic....

(catching breath).... We are not to dally in political fodder here, so I shan't elaborate, I'll just say that she made an absolute FOOL of herself on Larry King and everywhere else in the press, where Premier Danny Williams tore her to shreds over every fact she falsified and butchered. Boy, did they need to do their homework before taking on the seal hunt. She and Paul were right out of their league....

Pardon me!! Back to silliness:

Emily, this makes me sound like an idiot, but what exactly is the Yukon race your SIL is in??

Oh!! SO exciting!! This is the longest, most gruelling race in the world...makes the Iditerod look like a stroll in the park. Year-'round training, millions of dollars in corporate sponsorships, and big money for crossing the line first. Very few women have attempted this Sisyphean feat, and I believe Michelle was the first woman to crack the top ten, last year. She did it in thirteen days.....that's in 21 hours of darkness, -40, over mountain passes and across frozen lakes, with just her and her soul mates--her fourteen beautiful huskies. Unimaginable!

      Advice please

      Can you post what blood tests were done specifically for celiac disease, the results and reference ranges if available? If her gluten intake was reduced prior to the blood draw it certainly could result in false negatives on some tests. There is also the possibility that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Desperately in need of some advice of possible 🫠 (sorry for the long post but I’m one exhausted mama) My daughter is just gone 2 years old, for as long as I can remember she’s had problems with her stomach, she was diagnosed with a Dairy and Soy allergy so has been dairy and soya free since around 7 weeks old. I’ve been begging the doctors to listen to me and to look into it, I came across celiac disease a few months ago and pushed for her to be tested. Some of her symptoms are  - Extreme stomach pain, she’s never had a night where she isn’t rolling around in her bed screaming in pain (not just a cry, she will be fast asleep and then let out a high pitch scream and start crying) this will go on all night! - Gas, I know gas is normal but she just doesn’t stop all day and night, and it smells so so bad! You can hear her from the other rooms in the house  - Bloating  - Slow growth and weight gain she’s still in 9-12 size clothes at 28 months - Iron deficiency  - Diarrhoea or constipated, or really mushy  - Constantly tired  - Complains of leg pains and gets cramps - Mouth Ulcers  - Gets infections like ear and tonsillitis every few weeks She’s super super fussy with food and just won’t eat! So trying to get gluten into her wasn’t easy as most days she just point blanks refuses  She had her blood test done last week and they said it came back clear but was showing she was pretty anemic! We are currently waiting for a referral to see a pedantic doctor and her dietician.  Im just completely exhausted, she’s constantly poorly and miserable and I hate seeing her like this and being fobbed of by doctors who just don’t seem to understand that I know my baby and I know something isn’t right!  Can the test be unreliable?  Any advice welcome🥺

      Your situation is actually more common than many realize, and while confusing, there are logical explanations for your test results. The key points are that your biopsy showing villous blunting and increased lymphocytes does indicate intestinal damage typically seen in celiac disease, despite your negative blood tests. This phenomenon is known as seronegative celiac disease, which affects about 10% of celiac patients. Your partial HLA-DQ2 genetic result doesn't rule out celiac either, as a small percentage of celiac patients don't have the complete genetic markers. The fact that you've responded so dramatically to a gluten-free diet is another strong indicator that this is likely celiac disease rather than NCGS, since NCGS doesn't usually cause intestinal damage. Your doctor might consider ordering additional tests like IgG-based celiac tests (tTG-IgG or DGP-IgG), or repeating the endoscopy after you've been gluten-free for a longer period to check for healing. Many celiac specialists would actually diagnose you with celiac disease based on your biopsy results combined with your positive response to the gluten-free diet, regardless of the blood test results. It may be worth consulting with a gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac disease for further evaluation. Your experience highlights why celiac disease can be so challenging to diagnose and why doctors need to look at the whole clinical picture rather than relying on any single test.
