yes, thank GOD i found the 'sillies'

it's really scary out there.

as Patti knows..........i usually don't start a thread anymore b/c theY always go bad :ph34r: and I'm such a nice lady ;):lol::lol: BUT I DO HAVE MY LIMITS. :ph34r:

MUST REMEMBER NOT TO SCREAM THO :lol:

LOVE YOU ALL

JUDY

Judy, you can still scream . . . just remember to do it in three or four short bursts and not one long yell!! Several four-letter words strung together won't screw up the screen width . . . go ahead, give it a try!!

I am at the point where from watching him I do not want children of my own at all, and that has always been my biggest dream. Its crazy!

You gotta do what you gotta do. If watching Landen is not benifitting your life somehow and only adding stress/distress, then it's time for changes. And believe me when I say, it is totally different when it's your own kids and you get to set the rules/boundaries/expectations.

OK, my body clock is screwed up . . . snoozing through the day and up at night. It's 10:30 here and everyone else has gone to bed (they had a busy day). I of course am wide awake . . . would be anyway, I rarely get to bed before 11:30, but I can tell I'm going to be up tonight. Last night I slept from about 1 until 3 and then from 5 till 7. So perhaps I should look for Judy and Patti tonight when I can't sleep.

Jess - I also wanted to add how unbelievable I think you are with your words of wisdom . . . you say it sooooo well . . . whatever it is that needs to be said!!

Sarah - did your mom post on your "victory" thread???

This is exactly what I was going to say, Amanda. It sounds like you and Landen's mom need to have a talk ;)

Judyin Philly Enthusiast
The thing is if it was my own kid and they were crying all night and wouldn't go to bed it would be different....

Your so right on that one. Totally different. We made um we gota tame um :lol:

Sarah--

Is that your mom posting over on your thread? :D

Jestgar Rising Star
:o :o :o Was that your Mom!! I wondered who was being so snuggly with you! I thought maybe a case of mistaken identity.

I know. I always suspected that the moms with perfect kids were lying... Or else all that sleep deprivation just makes everything seem far more pleasant than it really is.

Welcome back, Janet......glad everything is going well. :D

Jess......you wandered away from here again............you know the neighbors don't always play nice <_<:lol:

Amanda.......change is good.......I think you've gone over your quota of good deeds.......time to do what's best for you for a change ;)

Lots of serious talk, lately..........harder to pick a word today.

Sooooo..........this one's for you, Souzzle :)

Sign for the day:

That's what strength is, cutie-pie.

Strength......also used for strong

With both hands cupped, touch all ten fingertips to upper chest. As you pull both hands away (forward), clench them into fists.

I am Woman, hear me roar....

I don't know why, but that sign just made me feel like singing that...........

True story.........

There once was a guest pastor who was amused with having an interpreter for the deaf. He would get distracted seeing the interpreter sign everything he said and decided to have a little fun. Somehow he managed to mention supercala-fragilistic-expiala-docious (sp) and repeated it several times during the sermon, getting a big chuckle out of watching the interpreter's fingers flying :lol: ...............I don't think she was too amused <_<

curlyfries Contributor

Speaking of interpreters......it reminded me of this......

Right before the start of this video, the comment was made that there had been a sign language interpreter at a previous performance.......

My ability to speak (type?) like a normal human being is severely restricted when I'm miffed. Can anyone explain why I can't use small words when I'm highly emotional?

(And can any of you imagine how uninspiring this is when in the height of a passionate encounter... My idea of 'talking dirty' doesn't involve anything less than three syllables.)

:lol: Yeah, but if you scream like THAT, all should be forgiven. ;):lol:

My mom posted on my thread! :D She comes around and reads every so often, but that was her first post.

Gawwwwd you guys, I dunno what I ate, but I feel like I'm gonna die. Like, bookshelves in the bathroom don't even matter at this point, because I can't read and writhe at the same time. <_< Blech...

Morning Sillies...I woke up with the worst stomach cramps. Probably from all the non-healthy junk I had while away.

Another reason I have about the baby sitting thing is both John and I work full-time jobs and the stress of both of them esp. mine is growing, we need those weekends off!

You're still on the "honeymoon" with John--the time before you have yer own kids.....you want to enjoy that because when you two do have children everything changes.

I phorgot to comment on this before, Amanda......I'm with everyone on this situation. You need to be with John right now, while you are just a twosome....relish this time, because as Patti says, it changes forever once you have your first baby, and you'll never be just the two of you again! You're absolutely right, you do NOT need to be weighed down by another person's less-than-stellar parenting practices. In fact, it's likely the very last thing you need. There is NOTHING selfish about feeling this way.

Landen has been so lucky to have had you two as much as he has!

Now, this Jen.....

Were you saying that she will no longer consider you a friend if you cannot mind Landen regularly anymore? I must have misunderstood this...... . ..I cannot imagine anyone taking such a childish, selfish stance. I DO hope this is not the case...... :huh::(

AWW!!!!!!.......your Mum!!!.....so proud!! :D

Sarah! YES! I must head over and read yer mom! :)

Take care o' that tummy,..........

Has anyone mentioned that we like to do 'phart charts' (we also like to spell differently :blink: )

Yes, Johnsmom.......Nik speaks the truth. You must record the number of times you pass gas a day for five days, calculate the average, and then report it in a post here afterward.

Just one of the criteria we need to keep on file in the Official Sillyville Archives.... . ..

Well now..... B):o:P:lol: .....

Don't reckon I could GET me leg above me shoulder....must try sometime :rolleyes:

Hee--I just came in from re-potting some plants, reworking the window boxes and generally sprucing up the porches. Can't stand working outside whilst it's humid, so lots of things needed doing.

Worked up a sweat, though--must shower.....be back later

      I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, Anthony's Goods tests for gluten and offers bulk options, though always verify their current certifications. For beans, peas, and lentils, Palouse Brand is a great choice—they're GFCO-certified and transparent about their farming practices. As for lentil elbow macaroni, Explore Cuisine offers similar pastas, though cross-contact policies vary. When companies don't respond, I lean on third-party certifications (GFCO, NSF) or stick with brands like Jovial or Edward & Sons that prioritize allergen safety. It's a constant hunt, but hopefully these leads help! Have you tried local co-ops or ethnic markets for teff? Sometimes they stock bulk African or Indian brands with clear labeling.

      Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly into batters and can replace flour in recipes like blondies or muffins. Since you’re allergic to chickpeas, you might try navy beans or cannellini beans for a milder flavor in vanilla-based desserts. For less crumbliness, blending cooked beans into a paste helps bind the dough, and adding a bit of xanthan gum (if tolerated) can improve texture. If you’re experimenting, start with recipes that replace half the flour with bean purée before going fully flourless. Have you tried using aquafaba (bean liquid) as an egg substitute? It works wonders in gluten-free baking too!

      This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free.  I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices as gluten free and Spice Lab has some gluten free too. Knitty Kitty has a great point about nutritional deficiencies and B vitamins.  I got a lot of aches and pains when I got off gluten.  I tried to replace wheat with other healthy grains like teff, buckwheat and sorghum.  Limiting one's diet too much and not getting enough vitamins, can make someone feel worse.  A lot of the gluten free foods in the stores are made with lower quality ingredients than the wheat varieties.  I try to replace all my foods with homemade options.  Then I know the quality of the ingredients and which vitamins I may be high or low in.  Probiotics or prebiotics can help with bathroom issues.  Better to get them in foods if possible and not pill form.  My doctors keep recommending magnesium too.  It's not supposed to be taken alone, but they don't seem to care about that.  It's easy for vitamin D to be low too.  That was another thing doctors told me to take.  Unfortunately, they didn't monitor it and it went too high.  Again, better from natural sources like food and sunlight.  However, supplementing can help if you're not getting enough.  Some sources say to take D with K2.  You may want to have iodine levels checked.  If you add iodine, make sure to get sufficient selenium for thyroid.  You can get iodine naturally in most seaweed.  Nori may also be one of the few non-animal sources for B12.  Brazil nuts are a good source of selenium and you only need a few a day to meet RDA.  Some brands of nuts specifically say gluten free.  Unfortunately, there are issues with Brazil nut production and they're much harder to find this year. The more you can vary your diet the better.  One study said aim for at least 30 different foods in a week.  You might want to try kiwi fruit.  There were some studies that said eating kiwi improved mood.  It also has a covering which most people don't eat, so that should protect what's inside from contamination. I've limited my diet quite a bit over the years because of migraines, so I know how uncomfortable it can be finding safe foods.  However, I'm afraid limiting diets like that may actually be causing more harm than good.  It's something I'm trying to work on.  I keep trying to expand the number of foods I eat and my recipe repertoire.  I made a list of brands of foods that I've found that are gluten free so I have a guide when I'm shopping.

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our food and supplements.  These eight B vitamins work together, like instruments in an orchestra.  They need to be supplemented together with essential minerals like magnesium.   Deficiencies in the B vitamins can have overlapping symptoms.  Some symptoms can be traced to specific B vitamins.  OCD can be traced to low Pyridoxine Vitamin B 6.  Yes, I had OCD and washed my hands until my skin cracked and bled.  ADHD symptoms can be traced to low Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  ADHD is something one is born with.  People who are born with ADHD have a metabolic problem with getting sufficient thiamine into their brain cells.  People who develop symptoms of ADHD later in life are more likely to be low in Thiamine.  The same symptoms appear if one is not getting sufficient thiamine from the diet.  Yes, I developed symptoms of ADHD.  These symptoms improved and disappeared after supplementing with Thiamine and the other essential nutrients. I was diagnosed with Type Two Diabetes.  99% of diabetics of both types are deficient in Thiamine because our kidneys don't re-absorb thiamine properly.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin and digestive enzymes in the pancreas.  Poor digestion (floating, undigested stools) can result with insufficient pancreatic enzymes.  The gall bladder (upper right quadrant) needs thiamine to make and release bile which also helps with digestion.  Constipation is also a symptom of Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies.  The thyroid is another organ that uses lots of Thiamine, too.  Low thyroid hormones can be due to insufficient thiamine, selenium, iron, and iodine.  Swelling of hands, face and feet are also symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.   Our bodies use thiamine to make energy so organs and tissues can function.  Thiamine cannot be stored longer than three weeks.  If our stores are not replenished every day, we can run out of Thiamine quickly.  If we do get some thiamine from our diet, symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously, because a twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent improvement in brain function and symptoms.  Thiamine interacts with all the other vitamins in some way.  Many other vitamins and their metabolic processes won't work without thiamine.  In Celiac Disease you are apt to be low in all the essential nutrients, not just thiamine, but thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first. Talk to your dietician about eating a nutritionally dense gluten free diet.  Keep in mind that processed gluten free foods do not contain sufficient vitamins to be useful.  Processed gluten free foods are filled with saturated fats and excess fiber (that could explain your constipation).  Dairy products, milk and cheese can cause problems because Casein, the protein in dairy, causes the same autoimmune reaction that gluten does in some.  Your current restricted diet is dangerous to your health.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  It's a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal healing.   Discuss with your doctors about correcting nutritional deficiencies as soon as possible.   Interesting reading... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34165060/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21816221/#:~:text=Lipid-soluble thiamin precursors can,and attention deficit%2Fhyperactivity disorder.
