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.....

My....it's not THAT special a word.......is it? :rolleyes:

Can't she be buried in the garden er sumfin? I mean.....who would know...... :unsure:

Yes, the computer and other technological equipment tosses really AREN"T legal.....um - can you guys GUESS the only two LEGAL things that can be tossed out of a car????????????

you can't, can you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's 1. water and 2. chicken feathers!!!!!!!!!!!! (so I was told by a CHP eejit I dated years ago)

OMG - Richard Branson on Ellen!!!!!!!! Nicola doesn't know that I am in LURVE w/ Richard Branson....... :rolleyes:

where is Patti today?

OMG sillies.........the most miserable abdominal pain today......gluten-poop.......but the pain is getting WORSE as the day goes in instead of better, and I am to go out tonight. :huh: Might have been the tostadas at Taco Bell last night.......usually quite safe and no problems....

Can't she be buried in the garden er sumfin? I mean.....who would know...... :unsure:

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:

Yes...capitalized the U and everything...caught it BEFORE I hit reply though, lol, but it made me snicker! Not quite a snort, but a snicker. :P

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!

this strikes fear into Susie. :huh: I have no heirs......and now I am wondering if I'll spend eternity in such an equally ignoble manner, just sitting in some squalid closet of one of my nieces......

but then - oh wait.......I realized I'm not planning on being cremated. :lol: :lol: phew!

Susie, poor thiiiiiiiing! I hope you feel better!!!!!!! There is nothing worse then that. Hope it vanishes.

Might have been the tostadas at Taco Bell last night.......usually quite safe and no problems....

Did you really say that with a straight face and believe it? :lol::lol::lol: TB is my worst nightmare, gluten-wise. I think I get glutened driving by that place.

Green12 Enthusiast

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 like Heather Mills. I loved her on Dancing with the Stars last year. Is it because she is divorcing Paul?

you can't, can you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awwww you didn't let us guess!!!! :angry:

I would've gone w/ boogers & transgendered hookers. :lol:

Why do I think you met him during a Moving Violation & the date was more of a 'moving his lips' violation? :lol:

I have heard of the chicken feathers thing.

Taco Bell

:ph34r:

I can barely believe you eat there, yet were shying away from El Pollo Loco.

(mmmm now I want ElPollo!)

elye Community Regular

OH! Exciting update!! It's the end of her fourth day, and Michelle's moved up to fourth place! :)

jerseyangel Proficient

Good evening Sillies! Ah--busy day with new words, book clubs and flying chicken feathers....Susie, do you really eat at Taco Bell? :o Sorry about the ab cramping--heinoUs :(

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:

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

Donna--your capital U :lol: We're growing on you--admit it :D

Alex--how sweet of your dad :D

:lol: Other's reading our silliness :lol::ph34r:

Hi Patti! I was wondering what you were up to today, good thing you made your choice, it will be back to regular meals again soon.

Green12 Enthusiast

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??

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Is the Yukon race a dog-sledding thing?

Morning Sillies!!!! Happy Valentines Day to all my loves.

elye Community Regular

Good Morrrrrnin' Sillies!

Well, methinks we may lose an inch or two of this heinous snow today...bright sun and above zero. Fingers crossed.....

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:

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!

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
