Dear Everyone,

Yes, Boomer is a sweetie. Well, except when he decides Mommy needs to get up to cuddle him while she is trying to sleep! :lol: Julie is right, he was originally named Peekaboo, but it was changed once it was discovered his little clodhoppers in the back were quite efficient. :) We had two that were litter trained, and they learn very quickly. People often believe that due to them being smaller animals, that rabbits are less intelligent. It infuriates me when vets are snobbish toward rabbits and guinea pigs and view them as less important as dogs and cats.

Dear Judy,

I am so glad your ear is doing better! :) Cauliflower ears are terribly painful. My mother used to get those. Your garden looks divine. What all are you growing this time?

Dear Bev,

OMG! :o I do not like the sound of your symptoms at all. Have you called your doctor? What medications are you on? They can cause this. Certain antibiotics can really make you ill.

Dear Janet and Jess,

I too, feel glitter is mandatory. Pyramids and crystals are important, too. You never know when yuo will need them! They have super powers, you know. Keeping them handy is smart.

Dear Amanda,

That is such a relief to hear your husband is doing better. :) Losing anyone is so difficult! Maybe he will reward you for being patient with him by giving you something nice for your birthday. Happy birthday, and eat some tasty cake with tons of icing for me! Turn your whole mouth blue! :P Well, pink works, too.

Sincerely,

Jin

P.S. Patti's sunglass adventure reminds me of what always happens to me with mine! No matter how careful you try to be, the stupid things fall off onto the floor anyway!

Youse guys- sumfin is wrong with me (vomiting, D, black tarry stools). They took blood and a poopy cow sample yesterday :ph34r::(

:(:( Bev....... .what in hell? Well, let's just wait and see........ . . .. .sounds like a wicked glutening, and we all know that that goes away with time.....Thinkin' about you....... :)

*ONLY* because of this, and the side-view shot ~1/2 way thru, I noticed some footsies under the characters, but STILL didn't believe people could be doing that so perfectly precise for a few minutes.

Heard someone today say they practiced 8+ hrs/day for 4 mos and last night was the 1st time w/ no errors. :o

Those people apparently practised a full workday for 10 months, and pretty well had it down last week, error-free........unbelievable. Makes me look at my crappy, mundane, simple little workday and think, "yeah, so?"....... .. <_<

Jack and I just finished packing his big duffle bag for camp tomorrow....... . .

T shirts

shorts

jeans

raincoat

undies

socks

flashlight

sweatshirt

bathing suit

jammies

What are we forgetting?..... . .BB gun? firecrackers? :lol:<_<

I could never believe in meridians and other necessary personal powers in a way that would allow pyramids and crystals to work for me (I'm waaaay to conventional :P ) but hey, if you can make 'em work, more power to ya!

Hi Sillies!

Thanks for all the warm birthday wishes here and in the other thread. You guys made me feel so special :)

Today was a lot of fun, we took a scenic train ride on the Middletown Hummelstown Railroad, I adore trains and this was like my dream. Due to me always working I have not spent a birthday with my family in years, so it was so special to have them around and I still have them until tomorrow, they are spending the night. We went to Wegmans and grabbed dinner. My mom and I are doing a jigsaw puzzle. Dad is almost asleep. John is hanging out too. Tomorrow we are heading to a flea market.

John got me this beautiful Wizard of Oz ornament and a huge Solar Powered Lighthouse. His mom got me this pretty ladybug bracelet. I can't wait to wear it to work. :) Did I tell you it is her birthday too? Yep MIL and I share our birthdays....interesting!

That's all for now!!

Dear Jess,

I absolutely can make the crystals work! :) They are wonderful. Just make sure they are charged in the sun and moonlight. This is essential for them to work properly. Energy is required for them to heal you. Gemstones have numerous properties, such as attracting love and health.

Dear Amanda,

Your birthday sounds like it has been wonderful! Tomorrow will be fun, too. Let us know how the flea market trip goes! The Wizard of Oz ornament and Solar Powered Lighthouse must be beautiful! Post a picture if you can. We would love to see. I bet that ladybug bracelet is nice! How neat that you and your MIL share a birthday!

Sincerely,

Jin

Good Sunday Morning, ALL!

Hey, Nikki's in Turkey! Wonder if she'll get any chance to post here.... . . .mygawd, who does she think she is, heading to another country, rich in scenery, culture and history, and proceeding to remain postless the entire trip? Are we not Nikki's entire life?? :lol::rolleyes:

but seriously . . . bug spray and sunscreen and WTH . . . How 'bout some SNACKS for Peter Sawyer's sake!!

Got the industrial, will-kill-anything bug spray, sunscreen and hat..... . . .

Jack really wants to pack his picture of the Titanic to put by his bunk. Not a pic of us, his family, or his friend, or even his pets, but the Titanic, something for which he has held a life-long fascination. :huh::lol:

Bev! How are you feeling today?

Yes, sounds like it's all good, having your parents for a visit, Amanda. I see my mom and dad very regularly (I'm VERY lucky), an hour or two every few days, but I wonder how things would go if we ever all spent an entire weekend together at this point in our lives..... .. . .

Methinks we wouldst drive each other clear 'round the bend..... .. . :rolleyes::lol:

Aged earlobes and apricots......(rubbing chin)......yes, this is true.

Sounds like a new top 40 song on the Country Charts......

Aged Earlobes like Apricots,

That's all my life has become,

Wrinkles, stretch marks and big age spots,

And a stomach that's out like a bum......

:lol::lol:

Actually, old people's ears get long and hanging, and so do their noses...... . .

......and some boobs.........

Gawd, ya don't have to be that old fer THAT to start happening........(((((Sigh.)))))..... . .

Hello My Psillies!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for all the concern which I clearly connived to take away from Janet's pyramidal PT knee improvement! :P Sorry Miss :D I am very glad your knee is better although I suspect that you would have SUPERPOWERS if you attached a crystal pyramid to it :lol:

Today, so far so good. They took blood on Fri. and yesterday Kurt had to drop off the uhm...contents of my own toilette (that's what husbands are for- carrying your sh*&t!!!!!!!! :P What a guy). The, uhm, smaple i submitted didn't look so good BUT I do feel better today so maybe a virus, fierce glutening ? They are checking for giardia (had THAT once in Wyoming- ugh!), C Diff, blood, all the good stuff. BUT since I feel better I'll take it as a good sign.

I'm not on any Lyme meds right now (just the usual) so it can't be that but it could have been a flare. Ah, who the HECK knows. I figure they'll call me ASAP if the news is bad.

Just gonna rest and it's Homecoming Weekend in Beverly (how are they gonna host all those people AND set off fireworks in me, I'll never know :P ) so I hope to go to the cookout/fireworks later.

BTW- we are supposed to get some EVIL thunderstorm later. Checked the radar (self-proclaimed weather junkie) and it looks like it's in PA right now. Judy, Patti, Amanda? Batten down the hatches? Be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone.

My parents just went home, and we spent the morning at the flea market. I got a lighthouse table and two lighthouses for $5. The table is perfect, no scratches nothing. I love it :)

So we said goodbye and now we are trying to take care of Lucky. He is ill, and has been throwing up everytime he eats...he has not had a solid meal zand kept it down for a few days....we are trying to get a hold of the vet...poor kitty kitty.

Yeah Bev--we're getting it now. It's raining pretty good with some thunder thrown in.

Luckily, the lawn is mowed and I got a lot of weeding done. I also spray painted a rusty star I had on the front porch a gloss black. Got a lot done, and as I was sitting on the back porch trying to stop sweating, I was silently musing that maybe I shoulda pushed for a nice luxury condominium when we moved last year. :huh::P

But then as I watched Mark, looking not unlike Oliver Wendel Douglas, on his tractor/mower--I knew he never woulda gone for it :lol:

Don't have the TV on, but it looks like the worst is over, for now anyway. They say these storms can pop up anytime between now and tomorrow morning. It wasn't bad enough here to lose power--no high winds or hail--just rain and thunder.

Be careful down there--sounds like you're really getting hit. :)

Spruezle's back is out! :(:angry: Take it easy, girl.......

Well, NO TEARS when we dropped the Ripper off, thank gawd. He gave me one of his huge, marvelous hugs, I smelled his boyish, messy hair, and he trotted off to his cabin with Eugene, a young kid he had just met who, like him, doesn't know anyone else there.

This is a co-ed camp, so he may end up hanging around the girls more - - he tends to get on better with them than the boys, because, to quote him directly, "Girls are usually a lot more sensible and kind. Boys my age can be crazy and babyish".

Yeah, well, Jack....dunno how much that's gonna change in your life........ :lol::ph34r:

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
