Just here for a sec... sent Susie an email that she can pass on.

I wish I could say I'm doing ok... I hate dragging people down... but it's been pretty bad. Crying nonstop... The kids aren't doing well either. If I never saw this coming, you know they didn't by about a thousand times more.

Sarah - don't know what to say. Our hearts are breaking for you. If there is anything we can do . . . let us know.

Peace and Strength to you and your boys.

I always struggle for something, anything, meaningful, helpful, or comforting to say at moments like this....... .. . but there is no way words can convey the sadness we are feeling for you, Sarah. Thank you SO MUCH for that email - - I cannot imagine the strength it took to simply sit and type out a coherent letter while you're in this state of mind. Your strength humbles me......

Love you and miss you! :wub::wub:

Oh sweetie- like Jess said, you can do it.

A former board member here said "When God shuts a door, he opens a window; you just have to get down the hallway" Smart guy.

The hallway isn't very nice right now, but you can do it. You can cry- you should- you're grieving and shocked. And tired. And devastated. It's OK- we all would be. But you are gonna make it.

We're here for you :wub: :wub:

I get older and they stay the same age......:):) LOL!

Sarah-I just read your email. It has left me speechless but I can say you are so strong to just even open up right now. It is very difficult but I am glad to hear your family and you share such a close bond. ((((HUGS)))))

Alright so I went to the Dr after work....it was the walk-in clinic at the hospital, you know that one that I hate going too since they caused my chest congestion to go to full bronchitis since they didnt treat well....after the wait for over an hour and 30 mins the dr finally comes in touches my foot....looks at it and says It appears to be ok, your toes are probably going numb from tissue brusing and we cant X-ray since the X-ray machine is down but I can give you an X-ray slip and you can come back tomorrow if "You" feel you need an X-ray......

So I left, hopefully it will hurt less and I wont be going there again! Healthcare Pi**es me off!

If he got back to you, did he tell you about how he waived at me Did he :unsure:

Patti! :lol: :lol: He did!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, the LIFELONG MYSTERY is SOLVEd!!!!!!! It's all he could talk about in his letter - er, SEVERAL letters he wrote to me.....about this young girl he had waved to.....he just could NOT get her out of his mind..........who knew that, years later, *I* would find you!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Our next Edna?

Open Original Shared Link

:blink: WHAT IN HELL????????????? Look at his BREAKFAST. And - a POUND of pasta???? OMG. Note, no vegetables at all.....any fruit? we HAVE to talk to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

B@$#@^d!!!! indeed! <_<

But - 30 hours a week in a pool? I.......almost.........can't.........think........of anything.........more boring. :yawnface: Except, shampooing the carpet. Except, remember this - when you're shampooing the carpet, you can DRINK..........I do not believe you can DRINK whilst swimming. Hence, the most COMPLETE CRASHING BORE there is. :lol: :lol: Not only left alone wif one's Dingo thoughts, but UNDER WATER. :wacko:

Soooozie, didn't you say that you have a collection of ribbons that you have tied around tables at your place, and on the end of the ribbons are....things that get lost.....magnifying glasses er sumfin'? Check one of those ribbons......Nothing would surprise me with you!

*snooooooooort*

excellent memory, Most Wackl. :lol: Well, there was only ONE ribbon....tied to my desk. But my desk is now my makeup table and my old kitchen table is now my desk. So......there is this one ribbon - I JUST REMOVED IT YESTERDAY!!!!!!! - that was tying a pair of magnifiers to my desk. Alas, no ribbons with keys.

But.........mystery solved. I realized that Lauren and Matt had taken care of Weezee when I had to go up for the funeral, seven weeks ago.

craziest thing is, I called her today and said - do you have my key? her response was this :blink: and she said.....

~ why would I have your house key?

~didn't you take care of Weez when I was gone?

~yessssss............. but we left the key under the mat.

~what? why didn't you tell me?

~I DID tell you.

So........the key has been under the mat this whole time. And, I didn't even REMEMBER them staying here, anything........it was all such a blur.....I had to ask her, "did you guys stay here to take care of Annie?" she reminded me that they picked her up and took her over there for the night........

:wacko: 'twas all a blur but.........now I have my housekey back :lol:

At a Jimmy Cliff concert a few years ago, I got to meet him (he kissed me on the cheek!). Invited him over for dinner. He politely declined

:lol: excellent

I saw The Tubes when I was about 20.......stood on the front and center table at the concert. Fee Waybill kissed me on the cheek. ha ha

Saw Dave Wakeling (of English Beat and Special Beat Service) perform many times in Monterey. Asked if they'd perform at my wedding. "when are you getting married?" he asked. "oh, I haven't met him yet.....but I"ll let you know when I do." :lol:

Ok if all else fails try this. I am reading the prequel to Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood and they mention St Anthony's Prayer for Lost Objects......St Anthony St Anthony won't you look around, something has been lost and it must be found. Maybe it only works if you are Catholic, not sure :huh:

JOO-LIE!!!!!!! :lol: I LOVED those two books........

:lol::lol: Judy!!!

Just presently realized what the OS thread is........ . . . . haven't checked it out yet, as this subject has come up before in the past few years and has been dealt with, so my questions about this potential gluten source have already been answered.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE FAMILY WHEN THE WORLD IS CRASHING AROUND YOU.

Alright so I went to the Dr after work....it was the walk-in clinic at the hospital, you know that one that I hate going too since they caused my chest congestion to go to full bronchitis since they didnt treat well....after the wait for over an hour and 30 mins the dr finally comes in touches my foot....looks at it and says It appears to be ok, your toes are probably going numb from tissue brusing and we cant X-ray since the X-ray machine is down but I can give you an X-ray slip and you can come back tomorrow if "You" feel you need an X-ray......

DingoGirl Enthusiast
how did you do yesterday at the orientation? did you 2 pass?

:blink:

Okay......we went to the orientation........never found it. So, I asked the concierge - and she said, "Tracy went home sick." She called around asking if anyone knew where the meeting was - no one did. :huh: So - I asked if anyone else was doing the volunteer orientation......no one knew, Weezee and I wandered from building to building, never found anything.

WHAT IN HELL?????????????

but.........the old people LOVED her, adn she loved them. Everywhere we went (SILLIES - weezee and I are thinking of volunteering at a nice retirement home here - they want dogs to visit ), she got SOOOOOO much love and attention - they loved her and she loved them. :wub:

GENE SIMMONS! :huh::lol:

:huh: indeed - WHAT IN HELL??????????? he scares me to DEATH!!!!!!!!!! :lol: M, I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you. And guess what......I think he smells. :lol: Doused, I bet, in overly-fragrant expensive cologne....and BTW, can we just talk about his HAIR???????? holy crap.......that has to be the scariest, dyed, thinning remnant of a head of hair I"ve ever seen................zoigs!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!.... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

*snort* :lol: :lol:

I was so happy- had just gone swimming at this place called Twenty Foot Hole in VT and drank my first gluten-free beer :D

:lol: pure joy!!!!!! Love yer photos........you DO look gorgeous in them. Um, was that Angus's wedding? you w/ the flowers in yer hair?????? SOOOOOOOOOO cute!

SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang on, girl, just hang on. Get through TODAY. Remember what Jesus said......

"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own"

I know. :( easier said than done. But such good words to live by.......taking each day......each hour.....each five-minute segment.

You are NOT dragging us down. Do you understand??????? you are NOT. please, write to us, complain, cry, vent, moan, wail. Your heart is massively broken adn the confusion is blinding.

WE ARE HERE.

:wub:

sending love, hugs, and prayers.

Judy! You need to pull a Susie, here - - you get some ribbon, and you tie a magnifying glass to one end of it, and affix the other end to your writing desk. Then it's no big deal if you misplace your glasses, as you will always have the magnifier safely tied at your reading desk to look through. Think that's how it went........right, Soozle? :huh::lol:

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y
    • Scott Adams
      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
