Hi Carla!!! Been a long time since I saw you.

We are terrible today....a lot of people have either taken the day off or went home early so we are just piddling around on the net. It has been so long since I had a day like this!

Nikki: I believe that you are pregnant.

:o OMGawd....could it be? :o

I was doing so well Sun/Mon, I just had to test Tjoe's new organic fake fritos, in the hope that, like tomatoes, the Organic aspect would make it ok.

Nope. Have had a slow mushy brain ever since, but getting better now.

Ahh yes Peeder, where has the Common Sense gone . ...

Sorry 'bout the mushy brain and all, Pataughm....is it too much to ask to have a freaking treat once in a while??? :angry:

And you said "Peeder" :lol:

What's wrong with my post count?????

Oh Cahr-lah....nothing wrong, per se....it's just that you are getting pretty close to a roll-over to a number so far mostly unheard of.....except of course by Moi. :D Here in Sillyville, such noteworthy post rollovers are commonly met with phluid onslaughts. Word to the wise--check yer plumbing and carry an umbrella ;)

Ugh! I have a sore throat from H-E-double hockey sticks.

Double ugh! Feel better soon, Julie :D

Sorry you missed these, Alex:

Awwww Weezeee!!! I miss that always by my side furry friend :(

'tis an unfailing comfort........JOO-LEE!!!!!!!!!!! You MUST get another......even when you are sick, they are right there, requiring little. :wub:

OMG - right now, Weezee is crouched at the front door in her sphinx position (cutest thing EVER), waiting for Daddy....... :lol: (who is out on his blasted MOTORCYCLE :angry: )

and Julie - sorry about your sore throat - heinous!

About your kitty Will, sounds like he skipped the toddler years and went straight into his teens. Look at what he is pulling already :lol:

:lol: yes - a true teenaged kitty, that Will!

Sensible Observations:

1) When I die, I want to die like my grandfather--who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Well, I now have both of my children home for the summer. A superb final concert....Jack was quintessentially librarianish - - he truly captured the spirit, the mindset and the attitude that encompasses one of these hard-working individuals. His big sister sat beside me chortling away, saying things like, "Gawd, he looks like such a major dweeb"......I quietly told her to wait for the hockey pads scene........this quietened her. :lol:

It was another way to read Julie's :emoticon:.....the word "quiz" was there, and "icicle", I believe......Having trouble remembering....it was very phunee and clever at the time! :rolleyes:

Jack came into the room and asked one of his great questions:

Why do we say that people are "head over heels" when they're in love? Aren't we normally this way?

:lol: :lol: I actually can't believe how nice those dresses are. But I spilled about half a class of wine (white thank gawd!) on my chest area at the reception so things may have gotten a little R-rated had I been wearing one of those beauties.

Yeah for Jack! Sounds like a very charming concert. Must be great for his confidence too!

So I saw Get Smart with my grandpa this evening. It was quite good -- funny, entertaining. I wouldn't say superb but good. I'm almost embarrassed to admit this bit I almost ate licorice at the theatre! What's wrong with me? The second ingredient is wheat flour! Licorice just doesn't immediately make me think gluten. I bought it and almost ate it without looking at the ingredients. I really am careful -- I just nearly lost my mind for a minute. But thankfully crisis averted.

Right now my bro is over watching the NHL draft with Ryan. It's quite agonizingly boring! I do feel bad for the guys who are sitting there with their parents not knowing if they're going to be picked. There will be many sad young men tonight. Poor guys are only like 20; lots of stress and disappointment for people that age.

I think the term comes from "falling head over heels" in love. Apparently, when one falls, the heels at some point may be higher than the head.

Or not..... :lol:

Good Saturday morning, Sillies!

Sophie spent all last evening turning her room upside down, gathering junk material to sell at her friend's garage sale today. She came into the living room with a garbage bag FULL of evidence of her pack-rat status.

I did an unwise thing. I peeked in the bag. GAH!! I whip out her two stuffed bears that were given to her, a year apart, when she passed senior kindergarten, then grade one. Ya GOTTA keep those!! Then, more unwise manouvers - - dug down some more <_< , and there was her Etch-a-sketch that we gave her for Christmas when she was four, and she and I sat with it on her bed every night concocting amazing faces and animals together....What are you thinkin' Sophie? This STAYS!

Then the beading set she got from Grandma when she was in bed with the chicken pox, to keep her occupied....the autographed photo of Walter Gretzky.....AND....wait for this.....CARE BEAR figurines ("Sophie, you HAVE TO keep these, in honour of Sillyville. Don't you understand??")

Gad. She left with a small box of things.... :lol::lol:

I do feel bad for the guys who are sitting there with their parents not knowing if they're going to be picked. There will be many sad young men tonight. Poor guys are only like 20; lots of stress and disappointment for people that age.

:(:(

This flashes me back a couple of years, when The Ripper was a liitle boy in the school yard, ALWAYS last picked for ANY sports team....such a cruel way for them to organize a gym class..... :angry:

Sounds like heels over head to me!!!!! :D:P

Just don't have the same ring, do it? :rolleyes:

:lol: I hear you on that one, Patti!

Now I gotta get up early and call the phone company so they don't send a guy out here after all. :rolleyes:

Sarah!! Don't call and cancel! Let the guy come by.....could be a Pattiplumber-type..... :rolleyes::)

Well, I've already been on hold for 10... no, make that 13 minutes, trying to get through to someone to tell them not to send the guy, sooo........ He could show at any time.

And I really have to go poop. To hang up, or not to hang up?

Took the phone to bathroom with me and figured, "Oh well, if someone comes on the line while I'm in here, well... at least it's not diarrhea." But I'm done and still on hold. <_<

Every once in awhile, a recording comes on and says that "all their technicians" are currently assisting other people. Yeah right, this is Surry County. It's one 17-year-old computer genius sitting there all by himself. Whatev. Other than that, I've listened to the same Rachmaninov three times now. Hopeless.

Well, POOPY COW. I gave up. I guess I gotta, like, get dressed now or something. I was hoping I could make a quick call and lay back down and snooze for awhile longer. Now I feel like it's too late. <_<

Brian and Ezra are up in PA, by the way, for a reunion. Luke and I stayed down here. It feels so... QUIET! :rolleyes:

Jeeze Sarah--the one day you coulda lazed around and you have to get dressed and wait for a tech that you don't even need :angry:

I say, you honestly tried to call them.....tape a nice note to your door saying that you tried several times to call and cancel the appointment --the problem has resolved itself, and you had to run out.

Then, go snuggle back under the covers :D

Tis quiet indeed. I'm here. I am doing domestic chores and errands today while Jacquie covers the store, so I will be in and out, and probably more out than in.

Emily calls Sophie a pack rat, and then tells her she must keep a bunch of old stuff. I seem to recall something about a pot and a kettle. :lol::D

Aren't call centers the most wondrous thing in the world, Sarah? :angry:

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
