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

They have some of those on the petfinder site as well. I understand that they're really hard to find homes for

:lol: Indeed, but for three weeks out of the month, we make lovely pets. :lol:

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

Ditto -- funerals are exhausting and painful but an important part of the healing process I think. As I'm sure you're well aware of Tom, it means a heck of a lot to the family to have friends of the person there.

And Jess, I'm so sorry about Sampson. I'm sure your other boy is helping to keep you strong.

I have a minor issue. Ryan and I are starting to plan a honeymoon and we're thinking of Bahamas or Bermuda or for an entirely different vacation, Disney World. BUT I think I've developed a fear of flying. I keep shying away from anywhere that would require flying. I don't know where this is coming from. I've flown dozens of time with my parents and a few times with Ryan and never a bad experience but now my palms start to sweat just thinking about it. I know it's ridiculous -- that the most dangerous part of your trip is the drive to the airport. Arggg. Hopefully I can overcome this. I don't want to limit my travels now or in the future because of an irrational fear. <_<

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.

Leo's a cutie!!! Are you up for a kitten though?? As much as I like puppies, I don't want to own another one.

Here's one I found when I went out shoppin' for ya'

I have no idea how far away that is . . . but her name just called out to me for some reason . . . :lol: . . . plus the exta toe thing is kind of cool. Would Lyle (is that his name?) prefer a boy or a girl???

Wow!! Out of despair sometimes comes some happinesss...Jess, you now have the opportunity to rescue another darling (or darlings)!...

Leo is absolutely adorable. Those two big adolescent siblings,however, kind of stole my heart. They will indeed be less "attractive" to the normal pet shopper, and will wait and wait while the darling kittens get scooped up...Jess, adopt them both!!! Please!!! :):):lol:

YES!!!!!!! the Silly Chalet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is brilliant...........yes Sarah, where DO we send the cheque??? :P

If I had a million dollars.....

Okay, a couple of million...... :rolleyes:

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

You know, that's not a bad idea....wheelbarrows would be great suitcases. They've got a wheel, they're easy to maneuver and push, and you could pile all yer stuff in 'em.

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

Oh, sure....... <_<;)

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................

Yep, in my experience also. I find them very tough, but you're right, Susie....people are grieving, and at their most real, I believe....

Didn't get to see Lars last night. It was on the illegal movie website, :ph34r: and it kept buffering and cutting out, so we gave up. I will rent it, however. Looks fab.

Hopefully I can overcome this. I don't want to limit my travels now or in the future because of an irrational fear. <_<

Okay, yet another job for our yeti! He loves to fly, and as Bev has said, he's very gentle, reassuring and calm. He can accompany you and Ryan on your flight to and from your honeymoon, and can make you drinks/provide protection/clear a spot on the beach for you. :lol:

ALEX!!!!!!!!! I have two friends and a mom who are beyond terrified of flying. My mom really almost will never do it........however if she IS forced to fly (every decade or so), she does take a valium or a xanax or sumfin. True story. My two friends will do this also, and it helps them enormously, as they just don't apparently care about their fear any more. :lol:

(there I am, pushing drugs again!! :lol: )

Sounds like a plan! And if we go to Mexico, we'll definitely need him for protection -- another Canadian shot and killed in Mexico yesterday. In Cabo San Lucas too! My dad took a holiday to Cabo not too long ago. :unsure: (Saying Cabo is almost as fun as saying The Cape -- I think Cabo may actually mean Cape too?)

Susie, do you like PF Chang's Lettuce wraps? I've got a recipe for that. Will Kissey eat a little lettuce? Perhaps it's too saucy . . .

Susie! Can't you get gluten-free hot dog buns? I buy mine at the natural food store here...they are not Kinnikinnik, but some other brand....and they're very good.

:o what? never tried! Because, I don't even know what kind of hot dog to eat!!!!!! what should I get, that tastes decent? OMG - have not had a hot dog w/ fixin's in, what, 2.5 years??????? this could change my life...... :P

Darn210 Enthusiast
OMG I forgot about his sauce issues. :blink::lol: BUT HELL YEAH, gimme the recipe!!!!!!!!!! I could TOTALLY make this fer dinner tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or not - famous herbed/vegetable meatloaf on standby)

2 garlic cloves (I use the minced stuff in the jar)

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast coarsly chopped (could use ground chicken from store if you can buy it that way)

1 Tbsp dark sesame oil

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint (I skip this and don't miss it . . . who has mint just laying around the house)

3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce (I use LaChoy)

1 Tbsp peanut butter (I usually use double)

1 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp chili-garlic paste (Sometimes I substitute red pepper flakes or ground red pepper)

1/2 tsp dried ground ginger

2 green onions chopped (I usually skip this, too, unless I have actually planned ahead to make it)

Lettuce Leaves of choice (we use romaine)

I also either use chunky peanut butter or throw in a Tblspoon or two of chopped peanuts . . . we like the crunch.

Pulse garlic in food processor until minced. Add chicken and pulse until ground to the texture of ground beef. Cook chicken/garlic in hot sesame oil in large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until chicken is done. Stir in mint (if you're actually gonna use it) and the rest of the ingredients except for the lettuce. Cook until thoroughly heated. Spoon onto lettuce leaves or directly into mouth.

Ohhhhh, Janet......does that recipe sound Yummmmmmmmmmy..... :):)

Susie, the hot dog buns are Kinnikinnik. We also get their hamburger buns. They are very good! Unfortunately, quite $$$$ as well....but worth it!

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Oh thank you Ghah-noet for that recipe!!!!!! sounds delish, will try that this week for sure. sticking w/ meatloaf tonight......have all the stuff here.............wonder if ground turkey would be okay in the lettuce wraps? used to cook wif it, it's been years..................

Okay - the buns - yay! now - what about the dogs???

We use Ball Park Beef Franks - the ones that are individually wrapped so they (theoretically) have a longer shelf life. Oscar Mayer is part of Kraft, you can read the labels on their dogs to see if they're OK.

y'all never get far from food, do you?

Called about the kitties. The won't send a kitten to a home with an adult cat (WTH?!?!) and the other two are basically feral, and have a presumptive home, so that's good. Leo is cute enough that I'm sure he'll find a place.

Mango is quite cute, but several hours away. I'll keep her in mind and see if anything come up closer.

What's up with the piggy-bat. Is that like a coin saving device that sucks your blood if you only put in pennies?

Mtndog Collaborator

Ptaum- Thinking of you! Jess- Get 'em, all as someone said and be the mad cat lady. If I didn't has a husband, I would be the mad pet lady (so hubby tells me!).

They have some of those on the petfinder site as well. I understand that they're really hard to find homes for

Nah, someone took me in!!!!!! :P

Ugh....phobias STINK (mine is bridges but only when I am the one driving). There are some anti-anxiety meds you can get OR learn to meditate and visualize yourself LOVING flying. I think it must be one of the most common phobias.

POOPY! I've always wanted to go to Cabo (now it sounds like Cape Fear!). Have to say I HIGHLY recommend Cozumel- so beautiful, incredible snorkeling!

OMG.....love Boar's Head and Hebrew National (cuz THEY answer to a higher authority- always crack up at their packaging). Only eat hot dogs in the summer. YUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hot dogs........ insert Homer Simpson voice!)

OK. I've got an update on my son. We've had a few appts/tests. Here's the synopsis:

Very minor allergic blip to milk and eggs (low end of Class 2 on a RAST test) . . . GI said not to worry about it.

Tonsils out with doc saying there was old infection.

And here's the latest . . . His Resting Energy Expenditure test says his metobolism is 27% higher than an average 9 year old boy, even though he's 15 pounds lighter. In order for him to catch up, he needs to be eating about 2000 calories/day!!! Every meal is a battle <_< . The good news is the GI was happy with a 3 pound weight gain in the last two months and so no more testing and he wants to see us again in three months to make sure he's still putting on weight. I wish I could eat for him . . . I have no problems with 2000 cal/day . . . also wish my metabolism was 27% higher than the average 43 year old woman <_<

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

    • Jy11
      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?
