Hi Alex--

That sidewalk art is incredible! I hadn't seen it before, so thanks for reposting :D

Sorry you have been having trouble sleeping. Hopefully, if it is the lingering virus, it will completely clear soon. I know that feeling of "if I could just get a good night's sleep...." :(

Take care :)

Ptaum- I SEE you!!!!!!

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Em in the Laurentians - mygawd, that is just one of those words that sounds SOOOOOO exotic and romantic - another one I've always loved: Northwest Territories.......and Nova Scotia..... (all curiously in Canada, you'll note).........

Well dear ones - I'll be back Sunday............ PUH-LEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE don't write a novella for my return! keep yer damn words short and terse for PETE'S sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it sounds exotic too but absinthe and mountains sound pretty darn good!!!!! I hope you have a fabulous time!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why but this made me laugh! I've never thought of Nova Scotia as sounding exotic :lol:. It is very nice though except some places have a very strong fish stench.

Another not so good night sleep last night (only got about three hours :angry:) . I think I may start losing my mind from lack of sleep. Saw my doc today for an unrelated reason and told her about the sleep problem. Apparently I have a bit of a fever and have lost some weight so she decided to do a thyroid test to make sure its not too high since that could cause the fever/weight loss/insomnia. I think the weight loss is just from the virus I had a few weeks a go but the fever and insomnia I'm not sure. We shall see. Hopefully it clears up on its own. I got some Gravol for tonight so hopefully that will help!

I hope everyone has fun on their trips!!! :D

Oh Alex- I love Canada and think it is exotic- I would love to go to Newfoundland and Churchill to see the polar bears. Vancouver- I want to live there!!!!!

I hope you get some answers about your insomnia. It stinks! Last spring I would be wide awake from 2 am to 5 am and then pass out at like 6. It really is hideous. :( My thyroid was running low and I started taking a thyroid med. Between that and treating the Lyme I'm sleeping much better.

OMG - a scary thought. what if.....what if Sarah just.....came to her senses maybe and.....got tired of us?

Never.

jerseyangel Proficient
Never.

Well, there you are! :D

I was glad to hear that things are finally turning around for you all. This has been a horrible year for viruses and the flu--it seems everyone I talk to has had or is fighting it. :angry:

It will probably be a quiet weekend around here--several Sillies are traveling.

Never.

YaY!!! Sarah!!! Good to hear from you!!

Well, that'll give Sarah a chance to catch up . . . she's quoting from mid-Feb . . . she's got a ways to go.

Yes, it has been a rather sickly Winter. I'm ready for Spring and open up the windows and get rid of these little buggers (that's germs, not kids . . . well, on second thought).

I was able to do that for a little bit yesterday--it was in the low 50's but sunny.

Gah! Wish I'd been posting all day but didn't have much time.

Used to post during errands last summer in Phx, so I can only figure their stoplights are longer.

***********

OH!!!!!! I found THIS somewhat amusing.

Roomie got back from wherever last night, and the FIRST thing he says to me is that he didn't even have a beer during the whole trip.

I'm feeling only ~50% so it looks like no Reno for me, but our 3 Sillies who ARE vacating respective homesteads must be excited!!

Amanda? Do you head out tonight or tomorrow or is THAT a surprise too?

Never.

:) :)

We were going to head to Atlantic City but with the ugly weather we were reconsidering and then my downstairs neighbor asked if we could watch Landen tomorrow night into Sunday since she has to work and her regular sitter back out at last minute. Jen works as a nurse at my hospital, but 3rd shift. So we would have him from 6-8am. He is adorable.

What have I done??!!?? . . . :ph34r::ph34r:

Lord help me . . . do any of you recall me saying that my favoUrite candy is good English toffee???

Big fund raiser at the school tomorrow which includes a big bake sale. The last couple of years I've taken me fancily decorated sugar cookies. I decided I didn't want to waste my expensive gluten-free flour on them this year and I don't bake with wheat flour anymore. So I decided to make . . . English toffee . . . :ph34r::ph34r:

I've never made it before. Figgered I'd botch the whole thing and write it all off as "Well, I tried."

It turned out fabulous. I'm nauseous from all of the sampling. The majority of it will go out the door tomorrow but now I am filled with the knowledge that I can make 2 pound batches of this stuff at the drop of a hat. That's not a good thing.

Wow . . . never heard of that one.

Do you get the feeling that Scott is trying to shut us down? Shorten the leash? Get us under control?

Or are we (and by we, I mean ptaum :lol: ) just more verbose now?

...and finally a year ago my Dad finally agreed to have a toilet fitted indoors as my Mum threatened him that if she trod on one more slug/snail/hedgehog in the pitch black darkness she would have another heart attack!!!!! :lol: (my Dad = resistant to change)

Wow . . . :lol:

Yes, I've always said . . . Change is bad, very very bad.

NEVER boring Patti ;)

BTW Patti - I note in your av you have wooden slats for your window blind (as do I) and as you are such a neatnik I wondered what's your secret to cleaning them???

Good Lord!!! //they are EEEeeeevil dust magnets and I have decided A MAN must have designed them as cleaning them is WHAT THEY MAKE YOU DO IN HELL!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Here's an idea . . . take them down and burn them in your fireplace. That'll get rid of all the dust. Then just hang sheets in front of your windows for privacy. . . preferably a bold floral pattern with loud coloUrs.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
