just what is this SWING contraption? :unsure: will have to know before advising whether yer shed-yool is too ambishus.

As I recall, this is a swinging chaise thingie in Jess's yard.....I believe at one time there were men draped all over it...... :rolleyes:

Poor Ptaum.....I'm thinking this is a SERIOUS dearth of silly as.....we really haven't heard from him, have we?

Yes, been thinking about him....... . . . . :( Don't think his expensive cordials are working any magic.... .. . . . .

They even spread to coffee-houses, which were sometimes known as divans or Turkish divans, and a cigar divan remains a familiar expression

....And from where did our Nikerler just return? It's poifect......... :rolleyes:

Judy!! Flowing Fecal Matter.....this is the last remnant of your 3,000 flipover.

It is also our latest garage band name. :lol:

OMG!!!! I've GOT to get a Turkish cigar divan....how decadent!!!!

:unsure: I thought a divan was a couch? sofa? davenport? :lol: [now THAT word cracks me up - must look up etymological origins]

NICOLA!!!!!!!!!!! "superbotox me???" what in hell? sounds PHANTASTICALLY trashy! Is it before-and-after plastic surgeries?????? perhaps my all-time favorite genre of trash TV :ph34r:

and speaking of trash, I am watching episode six of MadMen - - OMG. I just want to DRINK SCOTCH and SMOKE whilst watching. :ph34r: I don't have any scotch......but, is it gluten-free? Scotch okay to drink? I hate the stuff.......hurts while going down, I think.......

I DO have some cloves, however. ;)

and yes, Nik, quite gutted meself over my lack of channels. Alas, I told the installer, after he'd worked all day to get this fixed - "I do see God's hand in this - he really knows how dangerous this would be for me." :lol: I DO have other options for cable........but am holding off........

I have never been a fan of Internet Exploder, but there are a couple of sites where it is the only thing that works. :(

ok guys........ever sillies nightmare........ :ph34r:

Gawd Judith.....just knowing this would make me HAVE to go to the bathroom :lol: I have a fear (as I'm sure we all do) of being without one--for years, I scope out the can no matter where I am and once I know, I'm much calmer :rolleyes:

Yep--painted 2 chairs, a loveseat , end table and coffee table. All white wicker that is now navy blue--looks like a whole new set! It took 11 cans of paint--just phinished about a half hour ago. Whew!! It is much more humid today--I was thinking about you out all day in the park.

Poor Ptaum.....I'm thinking this is a SERIOUS dearth of silly as.....we really haven't heard from him, have we?

I'm getting concerned 'bout Pataghumn :(

uh, I just knew that Nik is far too elegant to be plopped on the couch :P

Yes, our Nik is definately a step above couch plopping :D

As I recall, this is a swinging chaise thingie in Jess's yard.....I believe at one time there were men draped all over it...... :rolleyes:

And as I remember, it was very clean......

I DO have other options for cable........but am holding off........

How 'bout satellite? We had this in Jersey--nice variety of channels but it went out easily with a good rain <_<

Hi Jess, good to see you posting!

Divan? Isn't there something called Chicken Divan? Is it a lounging chicken or a lounge made out of chicken??

Patti! Painting again?! :lol: Wow, 11 cans of paint? I believe it, that wicker just soaks paint up like crazy.

Happy belated gluten-free anniversary to Laura! You look healthy and fabulous, a wonderful example of living gluten-free :D

Happy belated Birthday wishes to yer mom Susie Q, how are you pharing after the Cobb salad?

Amanda, how did your stuffed shells turn out?

I'm worried about Tom too, he hasn't checked in for a few pages or more :(

I know I am forgetting a ton of stuff, must go back..............

Oh, those sandal boot things that are all the rage in NY, and everywhere cuz I've seen them on a lot of celebrities, there are just a lot of really weird shoe styles out there lately. They freak me out!

JulieM ...boy your a fast reader......got your 'good books' alert.

.

:lol: Judy

I've been reading a couple a week lately. When you're reading something good, it's hard to put it down. I'll read and read until I finish :lol:

Did you get some bread baked? Sounds wonderful. And sweeping fall leaves already? It's hard to believe summer is almost gone :(

Oh . . . and this just in . . . it's kind of freaking me out . . . I don't know what to think . . . perhaps the world is going to end . . . my son asked for a fruit with his lunch . . . something's seriously wrong . . . what does it mean?? . . . :ph34r:

:o This is shocking!

Ok me sillies, I have a question for you all....how many of you have tried eating gluten-free oats and how did you do with them if you did try them??

The sky is quite freaky looking........tornadoes all around me at the moment..................hold me!!!!

OMG.......Sooooozie! You must tune in to Gene Simmons....I'm watching a marathon, of sorts......his show has been on since about six o'clock, and then another one comes on.....and another......and another.... . :huh:

I tuned in about an hour ago, and Gene has a dingo! Their family dog looks SO much like Annie.....or maybe Stinker......and I heard her howl....... . . very dingoish.

So, he's up in Whistler (B.C) right now......trying to make money in a snowboarding enterprise. Quite heelaryus.

What revolting hair......... . . . :lol:

Ok me sillies, I have a question for you all....how many of you have tried eating gluten-free oats and how did you do with them if you did try them??

I would love to try them--but I'm chicken! :D I remember back before I was gluten-free when I would eat oatmeal for breakfast, I'd have something close to D that day. It was Quaker, but I was eating gluten at the time, so I don't think it mattered.

I miss oatmeal and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies--I realize this isn't any help to you at all :lol: , but I thought I'd share my thoughts on oats.

I may get my courage up sometime and try them--are you planning to give them a try?

Hope the tornados miss you out there! :o Hunker down and stay safe :D

My daughter has the OK to try them (the certified gluten-free ones) but we haven't . . . she never ate them before, why should she now? I have a great oatmeal cookie recipe that I'll probably try that my son likes and I haven't made in . . . hmmm . . . a year and a half.

--but I'm chicken! :D

Had fried chicken tonight . . . ate way too much and Edna is Pissed . . . I have started using a bit of Pamela's baking mix in my coating. Seems like I add Pamela's to everything I make these days. There must be some sort of addictive ingrediant so that I will keep buying and using . . . and I post about Pamela's all the time so now I guess I'm a pusher!! By the way, I'll be rich and famous soon. Just thought I would let you know. I entered a recipe contest on the PAMELA'S website. I could will win $200!! . . . which I can use to buy more Pamela's.

Thanks Patti for sharing your thoughts on the oats :)

I found some gluten-free oats, can't recall the brand (not Bobs Red Mill) at one of the health food stores here, $12 a bag, yikes! Oats are on my safe list so I decided I would give them a try. I seemed to do ok with them, didn't feel some of the same symptoms I would get when eating regular oats. So maybe they are ok for me?

Of course keep in mind I am gluten intolerant and I don't get "d", ever, so it's really hard for me to decipher if I am reacting to something gluten wise.

I miss oatmeal cookies too!! So it would be nice to be able to make them once in a while ;)

You are taking over for me pushing the Pamela's :lol: I can't have it anymore because of the rice, that was a very sad day when I found that out.....good luck with the baking contest!!!!

Oh, and probably a good thing yer daughter doesn't care so much about having oats, they cost an arm and leg!

MORNING PEEPS!!!!!!!

Gene Simmon's hair??? :huh: .....yes indeed like wire wool

Ooops, me poor travel tired brain was reading duvet instead of divan which (over 'ere) is me bed wiv drawers in the base..........what do you folks think they are??? :unsure:

MYGAWD!! - NO idea what's in the Turkish hookah but GADS!!...as an EX smoker, when I've had a few cocktails smoking anything sounds bloody GRAND :lol:

Today on this holiday I shall be mostly be doing more washing of clothes :rolleyes:

Rather suprisingly when we got home we discovered that there had been evidence of actual cooking by our eldest son (who stayed home) :o

We had left loads of frozen meals AND some cash (thinking he'd fritter it away on KFC & the like) but NO :o

Organic,free range chicken breasts with a HOME made red pepper sauce had been MADE :huh: ...and many more agreeable food choices :o

I am deeply shocked whilst proud of me boy :lol: ....when I exclaimed my total awe at this he replied ''Well I did do catering at school you know Mum :rolleyes: ''

...but of course now he's happy for US to to all the donkey work.

AH...the oats debate :wacko:

Here, Coeliac UK say more or less eat them if you can :blink:

....not really reassuring....there are many who do on the UK celiac disease forum with no problems...

However, you can only purchase 100% gluten-free oats online (that looked liked gluten-free GOAT :blink: ) here for an extortionate amount :(

We never have 'cos of the cost AND don't even know if Tel & Al would react...HARUMPHFFFF!!!!!

I don't want pay out if a heinous poo crime occurs :lol:

Also - as Tel has probably never fully grown back all his villi (last biopsy still showed some villous atrophy still) I think it's just TOO dodgy for him :(

The lack of oats in the gluten-free diet I feel is the killer - you could do SO much more if they were freely allowed....bicuits cookies, flapjacks, crumble toppings, oatcakes ....etc :angry:

Alan often has 'fake' porridge in the mornings (millet flakes) ...but it ain't a patch on the real thing....and it kills me to think that the ACTUAL oats are gluten-free, - it's just how it's farmed that contaminates it :angry:

Ok, carry on peeps...gotta load me washing machine :rolleyes:....and must tackle the garden today which has become somewhat overgrown (I'll keep a keen eye out for Ptaum's psilly in the undergrowth)

elye Community Regular

G'mornin', Sillies!

Gah.....you've already had lunch by now, Nik......we're just cracking open the morning paper and settling in fer brekkies.....

Yes, speaking of breakfast and the oat question: I have bought and uneventfully consumed the "celiac safe" oats - - cannot remember the brand. Jack likes this in the morning, and it is SO expensive that I just let him eat it. We do the millet porridge substitute, as well........not bad, but it ain't my good ol' fashioned large flake rolled oats! :(

...Hmmm.....speaking of large flakes, must run my dad out to two appointments today. :lol: An xray and sumfin' else.......teeth? Ophthamologist? Ultrasound?....Must check.. .. ...It all blends into one big waiting room at this point in the game....... :rolleyes:

The prank didn't work since the girl popped into the office Friday to pick something up. We did tell her our plan and she thought it was a great idea. I know the nerve of people to expect such work out of us....Harrumph!!!! As Susie would say!

I am actually up to my eyeballs in work today which is not fun!

Hi Jess-

How are you feeling?

Jestgar Rising Star

Tryin' the day with minimal drugs. I need to restart my methotrexate and I didn't want to do that while taking handfuls of ibuprofen (they don't play well together).

So had half a vicodin and one ibuprofen. I'll see how that works out. May entail even more lounging about than previously described (if that's possible :P ).

I had to go back and check to see if Nikki actually wrote gardener . . . :lol: . . . I think I know where Tom's silly is . . . I think Jess has it.

I went to over the counter Extra Strength Tylenol as soon as I got home because I hated the side effects of the Rx painkiller they gave me. It was either the pain or nausea and dopiness.....

Do get tons of rest, Jess. I found that healing takes quite a bit of energy on it's own. It's hard to stay still when you want to get back to some normal things, but taking it real easy now will get you there faster in the long run.

I know that pain right now is pretty darn (sorry Jan-it) uncomfortable :( I turned a big corner with it between 4-5 weeks and it's a good 3-4 months before it's really gone. It will get better, and life afterwards is so much easier ;)

Hang in there friend :D

      Thank you.  I’ll be sure to look into those.

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
