Thanks for the info Judy, I'm going to look it over in a minute

OK- how about some good news? I have been watching the Olympics and have realized that at 40, I still have plenty of time (like 20 years give or take the Lyme years) to train for the US equestrian team! I'm so gonna do it! Will you guys buy me a horse? I want

I swear this video will cheer you up- this horse dances to Lady Marmalade (Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?)

That was phun to watch Bev, amazing they can get a horse to do that!!!

I say GO FOR IT!!!! Don't put an age limit on yer dreams, anything is possible :D

I do think they want to make US mad, then they can feel better about themselves. Very strange.....

Could not agree more with this statement (I want to underline it, bold it, star it, enlarge it, put it in red)...........or making the other feel less than, like they have been the one who has done everything wrong.

You feeling any better today Susie?

And my funny for the day....

So Saturday I watched Alan for a few hours since I didnt feel like going to this Picnic. So I figure the little man would like to play with me. So we had been outside writing with the sidewalk chalk and then we were riding on his bike and playing on the swingset, when it looked like it was going to rain. So we went into the house. We were in there and he was playing with toys and he really got the playroom pretty messed up. So I suggested we pick some up before we dragged out anymore, you couldnt even walk in this room without nearly breaking your neck. So he kind of got mouthy witht me, he is at that age and all....and as I was cleaning up the kitchen he was still acting up. So to myself I say boy youre a smart a$$. The next thing I heard was no youre a smart a$$.....hmmm....I was laughing to myself and thinking geee Amanda you need to remember he can repeat things...!!!!! So laugh away sillies and keep my potty motuh away from the young-ins.

Bev, that beautiful horse! What a dancer! This is exactly what I was trying to do while in the boat on Ashby lake yesterday....... <_<

:lol: :lol: phorgot to ask you about this, Ms. Wackl. Just exactly what were you doing on that boat? and did you REALLY fall in? would love to have this on youtube.....

Could not agree more with this statement (I want to underline it, bold it, star it, enlarge it, put it in red)...........or making the other feel less than, like they have been the one who has done everything wrong.

:(:(:(

I could not believe how A$$hole turned everything around and made it MY fault once I questioned his fidelity. It's been..............so unbelievably hard to shake the sadness....every day it's there, a black cloud following me. But, four weeks after the very bizarre breakup and NO COMMUNICATION in an instant, I AM getting better. It just takes time, friends, prayer, talking, more talking, and then MORE talking until your friends and your mom tell you to shut up :ph34r: reading helpful books, crying a lot (I finally don't cry any more!), more prayer, the love of a good dingo :wub: communicating with one's sillies constantly, :wub: and.......mojitos. :lol:

I am an old lady.......it was so earth-shattering to find what I thought was this "great love," my FINAL love, at my advanced age and then......lose it abruptly.......first under such horrific circumstances.....adn then, to find out that this man wasn't who I THOUGHT he was....just devastating. :(

Sarah.......it just seems impossible to believe.....I didn't have marriage or children or ten years with Pharking Jackbutt so......it's not the same.....but the shock and abandonment and broken heart are universal devastations.....you WILL get better, and you'll be stronger than you ever thought you were. I do envision you developing a life, a different life than what you had........it's too soon to think about things like taht but.....I DO see you fighting back fiercely and strongly and.....not just surviving but thriving, somehow. I do see this. :) Take heart, dear girl........

SILLIES!!! I am not sick.......just had some pesky menstrual headaches and two severe blowouts, ONLY while at Lauren's school..........very peculiar...... :blink::lol:

Yes, I phell into the drink. We went by a cottage with a number of young people lounging about on a large deck. We were too far out to yell, "Hi, there", so we were just coasting by.....when SUDDENLY...........dear gawd........an incredible sound system begins to pound, there are some screeches as the girls and a couple of the guys jump off their muskoka chairs and begin dancing around, as JIVE TALKIN' begins to pulsate down the lake.

Now, I want you all to turn up your computer speakers very high, then view this and picture me, sitting quietly wif me buddy in our little boat, drifting by.....Man, I was suddenly on my feet, arms akimbo, rocking back and forth....I picked up the oar and it was my mic, oh, yes......

So, I flipped out, arse-first I believe........ :lol::rolleyes:

THANK GAWD MY CHILDREN WERE VERY FAR AWAY.........

I am an old lady.......

Soooooozie! Stop that!! Yer 46! What in hell.... . . . .....You are SO young. :):)

Oh my God! It's never ending! My poor parents, their house, I had no idea how bad things were run down!

The water system was dying. And now from the sudden doubling of water use for these past few days, it just died! We have no freaking water!

I was already panicking about the water limits, because my kids are messy, and they're having accidents constantly now, in their pants, in their bed... It was going to be impossible....

And now there is no water at all.

God only knows what this is going to cost to fix.... it could be thousands...

Edit- by beds, I mean the sleeping bags on the floor. Sometimes they've been sleeping down there, sometimes in the bed. 3 out of the 4 sleeping bags got peed in. I guess tonight, they'll have to use the bed, and I'll use the couch.

Hallo Psillies Girlz and Guyz- Emily- only YOU could fall off a boat while boogeying to the Brothers Gibb :lol: Were you dancing like Elaine in Seinfeld? :lol: :lol:

Hope Jess is OK.

Hope Lucky gets better- my dad's kitty is not doing so well (I think it's just a matter of time)

BUT...we took Angus to the beach last night and he was HEE-larious

.....then who would interpret my interpreting??? :huh:

Sorry I haven't been around much, lately......too much sadness, and I never know what to say.

But one thing I DO know......

Sarah........the boys need to see you being strong right now.........even if you don't feel it , they need to SEE it. They are like little sponges, soaking up all of your emotions. They need to know that everything will be OK. Because when all is said and done.......you WILL be OK.

This one's for you, Sarah......and Susie, too.......oh what the heck.......and everyone else with a va-jay-jay! :P

Morning Sillies--

me thinks an X-ray is in the works. I waited for a few days hoping it was a bad sprain, but the pain radiates up the side of my leg and it is a bone like pain so I will be getting that checked out. I had Jen look at it last night..the bruise is finally there. Since the pain is away from the bruise (dont get me wrong the bruise hurts too) I am a little more concerned. Mind you I am walking all over the place without so much as a limp!

Lucky has not thrown up in 24 hrs now!!! Yea!!!

Still a compliment . . . I quite agree . . . hence the "true dat". :D

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
