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....... . .

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:

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.

jerseyangel Proficient

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:

Yes, Jim had the radar on too and it looked nasty. He's my weather man.....the forcaster and warnings flashed over the TV AFTER IT WAS OVER.......THE DITZ Erica something ON CHANNE 6 CAN'T PREDICT WEATHER ..........A NAT COULD DO A BETTER JOB........... :ph34r:

NOW THEY ARE CALLING FOR TORNADO WARNINGS TILL 12:45. DON'T THINK PATTI OR AMANDA WOULD BE AROUND US IN MEDIA. HOW THEY ARE SAFE THO. THEY JUST showed photos of hail in West Chester NE of us - it was twice the size of a dine. lots of thunder and lighting now better get off here.

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. :)

Amanda! Take care of little Lucky.....keep us posted.......

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:

And Paddeigh's busy painting things gloss black again :lol:

Amanda - hope Lucky's okay.......

Julie - can you be-LEEVE I didn't see the opening ceremonies? :ph34r: what has HAPPENED to me?

Well sillies, my back's been acting up a bit lately - some slight but increasing pain - and today, I was planning on going to church......then, pulled a muscle or DISLODGED somethign in me spine whilst shaving my legs in shower. :blink: Am now in enoooooooormous pain, and quite hunched over when walking. :angry: So.......I'm on the couch......Weezee is bored out of her mind, as am I........need any and all available sillies to come entertain us. :mellow:

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:

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others. 
    • Mynx
      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene. 
    • trents
      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.
