Gaaaaahhhhhhh....all this talk of happy childhood junk food memories.... :(:( I've got none, really....T'was diagnosed with type one at seven. There went all the Dairy Queen weekend treats, McDonald's milkshakes, Wendy's frosties....

When I'm hypoglycemic, I'll have a half a caramilk bar at times......YUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM......

So! She's HERE!!!!!!

Elsie is a gorgeous standard poodle. A little smaller than Gus, and pute white. She DESPARATELY needs to be clipped, so I've got her going in on Monday. I'll put up her av then. Gus quite fancies her. They walk together on their leashes splendidly - - this is important, as DH and I will run with them both together.

The kids were SO surprised. They didn't believe that she was actually OUR dog, that she was staying when we first brought her into the yard. When it became clear, Jack's eyes welled up, and in a little voice, he said, "I can't believe this. I'm SO happy, mommy"....

And big hugs all around. My daughter immediately got on the phone and called all ten of her friends. Hilarious...... :rolleyes::lol:

So far, so great....It's almost too good to be true. I'm waiting for some calamity. Too easy, I tell you...

Off to Petsmart for a new ID tag, and treats!

Hopefully none of the "fluid onslaught" I've been warned about :unsure: ...new dog in a new environment and all.

YYYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!! Welcome home BellyDog!!! Hope all goes smoothly, Emily!!!

:unsure: Yeah, I was thinkin' this, too. However, Lisa, you want to make sure you have your own fluid onslaught (whatever it may be) and not let Emily end up owing you one because she got yours . . . Have you noticed her high post count? Her next big turnover will most likely require some sort of insurance mandated clean-up. You don't want that!!!! Keep yer own . . . even if you have to rig it . . . oops, I spilled a glass of milk on the floor . . . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

YYYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!! Welcome home BellyDog!!! Hope all goes smoothly, Emily!!!

It's so great here.... :) You guys are terrific, excited about my little life's twists, let alone caring at all! I honestly was as excited to tell you guys about Elsie (perhaps even more... :ph34r: )as I was to tell my kids!

. . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

You bet, it could REALLY be worth it, as you can perhaps have Patti's plumber in to install it..... ;)

So, I meant to ask . . . what was it that tipped the scales for your hubby? Are you still walking around nekkid?

It's bizarre....I just don't know...

Perhaps it's been because I haven't been nekkid....... :rolleyes:<_<

Emily, great news about Elsie. Somehow I just knew Will would come around to seeing this your way. Occasionally I am an optimist. Which reminds me...

To an optimist, the glass is half-full.

To a pessimist, the glass is half-empty.

To an engineer, the glass is the wrong size.

The biggest excitement in my life today was repainting the lines in the parking lot at the store.

Now for some really big excitement, if I remember right, today was Alex and Ryan's wedding. She's about two hours away from me, and had pretty much the same great weather we did. I hope it was perfect for them. :)

She should follow Tom's lead and have a sidekick with her so that she can check in off and on all day long!!! I hope the yeti is behaving himself. You know how he gets when he doesn't catch the garter.

Just in case you are checking in . . . Congratulations Alex!!

The bank have phoned me today to tell me that hubby\\\'s card has been \\\'cloned\\\' (very sci-fi) and that a person in India has very kindly taken it upon themselves to spend ALL our cash (and then some)

Either that or Terry has a secret double life in Mumbai :unsure: (he does look very tanned :blink: )

HEINOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can people like that sleep at night?!

Umm, Nikki, my dear friend, when you say you had your three children "the old fashioned way," do you mean, no epidural?! OWIE! I could not handle that. I wanted my epidural. Actually, I tended to want it when I was about 8 months along. :rolleyes:

Yeah, those were my fav. And let's not forget about Moon Pies :P

(We're going to have Nikki googling like crazy :blink::lol::lol:)

Moonpies!!! Ohhhhh, how I loved Moonpies. All that sticky, gooey, deliciousness! I'd estimate that at least two inches on my hips are due to a Moonpie phase I went through a couple years ago. sigh.

The kids were SO surprised. They didn't believe that she was actually OUR dog, that she was staying when we first brought her into the yard. When it became clear, Jack's eyes welled up, and in a little voice, he said, "I can't believe this. I'm SO happy, mommy"....

Omg Emily... that's so sweet!!! I actually teared up a little! I'm such a sap. :lol:

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
