Emily, I'll be thinking of you and your parents.

Susie, I'm so very sorry to here about the troubles with your friend. I don't know what's behind it, but I hope there's a chance to work things out!

(((HUGS))) to everyone.

Oh...too many heavy-hearted Sillies here.

Amanda-Sorry about the office- POOPeycock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Emily- Prayers for your mum and dad. I have my dad still but to me it is mind-boggling that he will be 78 in April- your dad sounds a lot like mine. He's very young at heart and prefers to hang out with me and my sister and our husbands and froends because he thinks EVERYONE his age is senile :lol: :lol: Hugs and prayers for all of you!

Susie- The friend divorce :( They stink. BUT, you are in L-O-V-E!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub:

and I still can't start antibioticing again cause my blood pressure is through the roof (and the culprit might be PRILOSEC!)

OMG- I seriously live in the town next to where The Tea Partay video could have been filmed- Hamilton, MA home of the myopia Hunt and Ppolo Club where there is STILL a fox hunt (sans fox) every weekend!!!!!!!!!! :ph34r: At least I haven't worn pants with whales on them since 8th grade :P

A question:

Is 'Cabot Cove' in 'Murder she wrote' ficticional??? :unsure:

....and would it be anywhere near Cape Codpiece ??? :unsure:

... :wacko: (feeling a tad wackl)

EDIT: ...pants with whales??? :huh: .........send the fashion constabulary -at once!!!!!

~alex~ Explorer
oh - this is for Alex and others who think we all live like this - esp on 4th of July:

<we've seen this before but it always cracks me up>

That was terrific! I've never seen this before. I don't know why I have such preppy, yuppie dreams. Trust fund kid has such a negative connotation but the whole cape cod/Hampton's thing just makes me giddy!

Lovely! All things with horses just seem so preppy. Besides my yuppie Cape Cod July 4th fantasy I also often imagine myself at the Kentucky Derby sipping Mint Juleps and wearing a ridiculous hat. I'm really not an overly money focused person but all of my American Dreams involve me hobnobbing with the aristocracy. What does that say about me? :unsure: I don't think I want to know!

Nikki, I think that Cabot Cove is fictional but that it is also supposed to be somewhere in New England like Cape Cod. Not sure what state it is supposed to be in.

I am in am extremely good mood right now! Having so much fun looking through my wondrous box! I'm definitely going to have my Grandpa, Dad, and Colin over this weekend so they can enjoy all of this great stuff. My brother is a great artist and I'm really loving seeing how his and my mom's style are so similar. Can't wait for Colin to see for himself!

Oh . . . you must save to wear with your rainbow coloUred bridesmaid dress at Susie's wedding.

That is SO wonderful, Alex! A celebratory treasure trove....a very special time capsule. Makes me think I should be putting my scribbled notes and sketches, my favorite photos and little knicknacks, away to be opened by my own daughter in what....fifty-odd years.... :)

Did you say what brand it was?

Do you still remember????? :lol:

It's French...Called Absente. A beautiful, old-fashioned label, and the name at the top is Plantes Saveurs. And yes, it is 65%alc./vol. Freakin' strong stuff....no bloody wonder the Impressionists were incapacitated after tippling this stuff, as their absinthe was much higher octane. Gad, I'd be dead....

Hubby has made the most delicious rhubarb crumble and I can only salivate :P as after yet another disastrous 'weigh-in' at slimming club :lol: ..... I MUST knuckle down......I've done loads of diets (successfully) over the yrs.......but this is the first time i've tried while being gluten-free AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!:angry:

Send this by overnight air courier STAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MUST have some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

<SPLUTTER> ......<CHOKING ON TEA>

NO CHANCE MATEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

OMG!!! You NUT!!!!!!!!!

5 SUGAR CUBES????

:huh: 'twas the only way it were tolerable - NOT KIDDING

WTH??? I let it sit for maybe 15min & it gets way past cloudy - opaque as milk even.

By then the entire room is olfactorally absinthated.

Pre-louche tho does taste overly alcohol-y.

I like the incredible mix of flavors once it's ready!!!

How about next time making it an experiment w/ extra glasses prepped differently, incl one sugarless?

hmmmmmm......... <stroking chin> well, there wasn't a room, we were doing this outside, by the firepit.........perhaps we did NOT wait long enough. But seriously, without sugar, this stuff tasted like gasoline. :blink:

I remember FONDLY the absinthe from France (the sample from the austentatious judge) was bright green, and also rather sweet......very tasty. did NOT taste like a$$ :lol:

all right........we'll try it again, another time.

Moonshine. :lol: We did see a few - very few - creatures in them hills - yikes :unsure:

Funny how our stuff has cane sugar added, which makes it taste very much like Ouzo or Sambuka. Ours got cloudy after we added ice, and more so as it sat. A lovely, deep green. I was injecting quite a bit more regular insulin at suppertime, and hoping for a severe insulin reaction which would require me to have several glasses. :lol:

mygawd.......she's compromising her actual HEALTH for a visit from the phaerie :lol:

O

Emily- Prayers for your mum and dad. I have my dad still but to me it is mind-boggling that he will be 78 in April- your dad sounds a lot like mine.

I'm really not an overly money focused person but all of my American Dreams involve me hobnobbing with the aristocracy. What does that say about me?

:lol: indeed, what DOES it say about Alex? When I was younger, I felt the same as you - but now, I actually NEVER want to mingle w/ those peeps any more - except perhaps as a fly on the wall. I want to hear what they talk about and stuff........I HAVE TO KNOW what fragrances they wear - they get them custom-made, you know.......drives me mad... :angry: because I"ll NEVER be able to know and smell them (this cracks David up, BTW)

I have very wealthy cousins in their sixties - you'd NEVER even know they had money - who "summer at the Vineyard" (Martha's Vineyard). This is extreme preppy wealth. They go to parties - she works her butt off fundraising for this rehab house on MV - not a bad gig, I bet, doin' yer rehab at The Vineyard :blink: ) w/ the Clintons (she says he really cannot keep his pants zipped - still) and all kinds of rich and famous people. I think they live next door to James Taylor's mother - I once had some jam in their fridge in Boston that she had made..... :lol:

Kooky!

Alex - SOOOOO excited about your treasure box........... (smiley face)

Oh . . . you must save to wear with your rainbow coloUred bridesmaid dress at Susie's wedding.

:lol: yes, absolutely, the one in the Elvis Chapel

So today at work we were talking about how we dont really like the moving situation in our office, and I said how I was feeling isolated and stuff. This one chick looks at me and says youre a stalker.....I almost bawled. I know she might be joking but it sounded horrible. It was a mean thing to say in my eyes....

Very likely....or could refer to the feeling it generates....Whilst tippling, I felt....rather....absent, somehow... :huh::lol:

It certainly made my heart grow fonder. :D

:angry: Oh... mah... gah... this makes me sooooooo mad. :angry: She sounds like one of those WRETCHED girls I went to school with who can't stand to have attention away from herself. She always has to say something that really shrieks, "Look at me, look at me!"

It was a snotty thing to to say Amanda, but try not to take it too personally. With people like that, it's never about you, it's always allllllll about them. <_<

Morning, all!

Well, another busy day ahead...what with both parents being sick, both kids being home on March break, work in the a.m., yada yada ya.....Gad, I'm only one woman!... :lol::lol:

So, along with all of the running around yesterday, The Ripper and I managed to squeeze in a beginner semi-private golf lesson (!). This is a truly admirable sport, but equally ridiculous and painstaking. I would love to be able to competently make my way around eighteen holes throughout a summer, and it is a sport that one can play until death, but I just don't think it's calling my name. Too many bloody things to remember all at once to make the ball travel well...."Consistent trajectory, backward bend, lateral spine tilt, quiet body".... Ha!! Quiet body...That's a good one....

We've got two more lessons, and then you may be seeing me on the big circuits. <_<:rolleyes:

My Funny for the Day

Walmart has everything

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."

"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies.

"There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal- Mart . Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than a doctor."

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal- Mart .

He deposits ten dollars and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Wal- Mart ."

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal- Mart , eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)

2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)

3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.

4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.

5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

Thank you for shopping @ Wal- Mart

Amanda- BAAH! Good one! :lol:

Sarah is absolutely right- and she needs an arse kicking. I'm bored these days so send her my way. I can only use one arm BUT my legs are still in kicking shape! OH YEAH!

and not a mean bone in your body. Yep, send her on here and we'll kick her ars..................... :lol:

Keep on that high road you always travel.

That's what kills me- you don't have a mean bone in your body Amanda <_<

OK- ladies and gentleman- a frightening development has occurred. It appears my husband, who goes to Jazz Fest in New Orleans every year which is MUCH mellower than Mardia Gras, has an Evil Doppelganger who goes crazy at Mardi Gras He seriously looks JUST like my hubby. In fact, I am NOT convinced that in my Lyme brained state I hadn't noticed that he snuck off to Mardi Gras AND made it on TV. Dear Abby- What do I do?

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me. Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is  85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a long story but was impossible. I definitely am like you. Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key. 
    • DebD5
      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you. 
    • DebD5
      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked sooner and fixed through medication, maybe things would look different. Who knows. I only share my experience so you question your doctors and advocate. Always see an endocrinologist for thyroid care fyi. Actually always see the specific Dr for your specific ailments. I’d also consider seeing a gynecologist that specializes in female hormones/menopausal symptoms. Early ovarian failure happens in celiacs so I read  on the celiac disease center in Chicago website.

      This. Scott said it beautifully. Document and start a trial gluten-free diet. I can also recommend an inflammation dietitian I saw last summer if interested. She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m sensitive to so many things and follow a gluten-free diet religiously. Just had an upper and lower endoscopy/colonoscopy and zero signs of celiac disease so they said. I’m a celiac since 1997. But my 33 yr old daughter is very gluten intolerant since 20 yrs old. 
    • DebD5
      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me but there was no clinical evidence to support my reactions(I felt so unseen, she recommended I see a gut psychologist, what the heck). I react with severe body aches to bloating and dizziness to exhaustion:  most lectins except berries and low lectin veg, no eggs, no nightshade veg, no dairy, all carbohydrates including no gluten-free carbs or grains, though a little coconut flour seems ok now, need to test other non grains, certain alcohols that say gluten-free but looking into their process further I get horribly sick if distilled through a gluten grain example Costco vodka….. Because I had an upper and lower GI in 1997(I was 24 and 84#s) and my GI doc came back with celiac disease, this new doc suggested I may not be a celiac. Is running some blood test. Omg. I can’t even. I’m so beyond frustrated.
