Oh, Jess....I am so sorry about your little guy.... :(:(:(

I am thinking about you!

Patti! Heinous basement floods...had one on September 9, 2004 - - the remnants of Hurricane Jeanne. We had almost two feet of water in our basement, and we're in a bungalow, so we have a BIG living space down there, including our children's bedrooms. We had a $40,000 insurance claim. It was horrid. The kids lost so much stuff...pictures, schoolwork, all their toys, books, clothes... yuck. I feel for you!

Did you at least get the same lovely plumber out again? The one with the memorabe ballcock? :rolleyes:

Ahhh, today was such a GOOD DAY!!! :D I'm gonna bore you guys with details, because I'm in a good mood. ;)

Good news is NEVER boring!

Guys, there must be a huge post count comin up or sumphin because our basement flooded today.

:o UGH!!!

Lucky it wasn't worse?? :huh:

As far as post count significance, I'm not seeing it - and I LOOKED!!!!

The closest I could come is that you're only 248 posts from exactly 2x your member number. :soundsbelievableface:

Did you know your member # is your join date backwards? (29-9-5)

Hmmm what's the delta in PA vs NJ in an "Nth state admitted" sense?

Or what would be 2x the sum of your kids' & pets' ages ... . ..

Something ate my beautiful gray kitty. My neighbor helped me track the fur trail through the woods but we didn't find the end.

Oh, Jess! I'm so sorry about your kitty!!! :(

:huh: *sniff* :( This is just so.........so..............southern and neighborly and.........so NON-stepford. I could cry........just so incredibly charming and lovely and civilized and warm.......NOTHING like that goes on here, or much of California, I'm afraid......people just are NOT like that here.... :angry: 'tis heinous....I WANT TO GO TO SARAH"S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Better yet, I want to be Psarah's pneighbor!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

There's 2 3-acre lots for sale right next to us--- you should come snap it up right now!!! :D I'm constantly trying to get friends to come buy this land, because I have no money to do so myself!!! :lol:

This really is a nice area to live in. Beautiful views, nice weather, and I know/have met every single neighbor within reasonable distance. We like it a lot.

Hey! Let's all pitch in and buy one of those big lots and put up a Silly Chalet for our Silly Summits that we can begin planning! We'll have to try to keep it down through the night, as we don't want to wake up the kids next door.....

Sillies....tis not an easy evening in our home. Landen was in terrible gas pain (or that is what I am thinking it was) he was crying in pain uncontrollably for 2 hrs before I calmed him down. It is a toss up between teeth or the gas pain but I believe it is the gas pain, he would arch his back and let some loose and that made him cry louder. In the end he let out a few big ones and soon he was sobbing and then I rubbed his tummy and he fell asleep. I had sent John on his way to CVS to get those infant gas drops....Landen was sleeping when John got back, which was just as fine.

I actually did not have a melt down when I couldnt soothe him, I tried different things and now I am not as scared as I was the one night it happened and Jen had to come home for him. I actually feel like I can be a mother now....it was an eventful evening. Just had to share....carry on sillies!

Good holiday morning, Sillies!

Amanda, good job with Landen! A true mom in the making...actually, better than a mom - - I would've probably lost it (I certainly remember doing so with my babies) and you kept your cool! Going to see Prince Caspian this afternoon, as it is rainy and horrid outside, the first unsunny day in a couple of weeks.

Elsie was quite weird when I took her out this morning...like she'd never been in the rain before - - looking up, biting at it, kind of cowering around...more and more clues are are being presented to us the longer we have this dog. She was probably never taken out to relieve herself in the rain....just didn't want to accompany her and get one's hair and clothes wet. HEINOUS. :angry:

Morning Sillies...well once Landen went to bed he was done for the night. Which was just as well since I think he tired himself out while he was screaming at me. Today he was smiling again, just dropped him off downstairs with his mom.

So another work week upon us but guess what happens this Friday.....3-day weekend....Memorial Day has arrived.

I am not sure about all my other sillies, but it is May and it is still in the 40's in the morning, time for a warm up!

Ptaoughmhn! This will be a sad, taxing thing for you. It's very good that you are going to this. Funerals are tough, sometimes agonizing...I've been to many. But, for some reason, I've always felt....what....perhaps a little bit better....at the end of the day, once I had been with others weak with grief. There is, indeed, power and strength in numbers. I'm thinking about you.... :)

Oh, and Jess! More tragedy.....I completely understand now, after thinking about it, how you needed to factually state what had happened. Come on here now and then for distraction , too...I think we're quite distracting....! :rolleyes::)

Yeah, what she said . . . (I couldn't have said it better, Emily) . . . good thoughts for you both.

. . . and if you want something to distract you . . . everyone can come over here and help spread 12 cubic yards of mulch. It arrives tomorrow morning. I shall expect you all sometime after 10. Bring your own rakes, gloves, and wheelbarrows, etc. I shall provide refreshments and a dog that will jump on you and run through the mulch you just finished spreading.

Sounds like a perfect job for the yeti. But wasn't he last seen in Orlando? It's a good hike from there to Janet's. Perhaps we could get him on a flight north, and Janet could pick him up at the airport.

A fine idea, King Peter! Get the yeti on that...or better yet, Janet, since you are a den helper/person for your Cub Pack, have them all over for a Gettin' Close to Nature Jamboree. Tell them that, as they always need to Be Prepared, they should have the needed tools with them and ready - - shovels, wheelbarrows, etc. I'm sure there's a Gardener's Badge they could be acquiring for this.... :lol:

Oh too many sad Sillies- *sigh*. Jess- I am so much like you....for some reason, I need to "hear" and state the facts because to me it seems so surreal. My best friend died in a car accident when I was 29 and I couldn't cry until I knew the details. I get factual and then emotional. (((((((A BIG HUG FOR YOU!))))))))) I know I would be devastated if Ii lost one of my kitties (especially the male).

Oh damn, today's funeral day. :(

Ugh.....yes- what Emily said :wub: :wub: I have been to way too many (I think all of us have) but it is nice (not the right word) to be with others who share your loss and grief. ((((((BIG HUGS)))))) for you too.

And landen with an Ow-ey tummy :( :(

Where do I send the check? Who do I write it to? :D :D :D

We can distract you too- don't make me come over there and TICKLE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

We could send the yeti but he's warm and fuzzy and can be quite gentle so maybe he can travel and console our Sillies and then lay Janet's mulch :lol:

Looking at new friends. I don't deal well with empty spaces. I think Jimmy and Clarisse probably need to be a pair, and Leo looks like a demon in a cute suit.

Weezee and I are jumping on the plane. Shall I just check my wheelbarrow through, or could that be a carry-on? :D

this is perfect. Can I have him while I'm premenstrual? 'cause this month's cycle's a b!tch, I tell you. :angry:

And then, could he help me shampoo my carpets?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! demon in a cute suit. :lol: :lol: GO GET HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sillies I am a fat, gutter-wigged, slovenly, pre-menstrual bloated hag. Lovely. :huh:

Ptaum - the funeral........are you going? I have to say, I really like funerals. :ph34r: I know, weird.......but - - people are suddenly in touch w/ their mortality, and usually are tender-hearted in their moments of reflection........happy to see old friends/loved ones, and bearing no artifice or pretense (usually). a lovely time to reflect and share................

Em - I was worried when you said you'd be watching Lars w/ Sophie. (sofie? I forgot the spelling) Um........probably a bit too esoteric and quirky for a kid. :blink::lol:

I want them ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have 2 tabbies- both are deliciously devilish in different ways. I have to vote for Leo, but I would probably take the oldest cause they have a harder time getting adopted.

The yeti will console Jess, go South to Tom and Susie and then be at janet's tomorrow at 10 am (for a big foot, he's pretty fast!) (But he doesn't like being called a Big Foot- says he PURE YETI!!!!)

Yeah....right :lol: I'm sure you are your georgeous self--even during the dreaded PMS B)

Phataughm--I'm thinking about you today, too. I feel like the others who said that it somehow helps to be among the loved ones...a sad day today for you, I know. :(

      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:
