Hee! Somehow I can't imagine Pataghumn running his phingers through the hair of anyone named Clive! :lol:

<Ho job> too phunny :P

Late night, last night! I sat watching the returns and then the speeches and didn't get to bed till well after 1. I wanted to take it all in, because no matter how you look at things-- it was one historic night!

Hi Jools!!!!!!

Good Hump Day everyone!

:lol: (again) totally different meaning here :wink:

I seem to have gotten behind here, again, and I think I figured out how that is.....on my free posting time I get sucked into Facebook commenting on pictures and accepting and sending various things and I get lost in an elaborate maze and can't find my way out :lol:

OMG!!!! I KNOW!!!!!

(J, you best NOT check out my new photo album then - you'll be gone for HOURS :lol: )

Susie Q, sorry about your phloough :( I do hope it is just a 24 hr bug and that you feel better upon rising today, so glad you were able to get out there and cast your vote!!

Indeed, I hope our Schmooze is all better!

I know we aren't suppose to talk about politics, but I thought last night was pretty incredible no matter what your party affiliation or political views.

Definitely

Thinking about Amanda and her dad, hope she pops in and gives us an update.

Yes, hoping she gets a chance to let us know if her Dad's surgery goes ahead tomorrow.

GADS :rollingeyes:, had to go back ( :ph34r: ) and re-write me whole post as I'd written it in CAPITAL LETTERS.....and I didn't want you to think I was SHOUTING .....as I'm not a shouty kind of person :meek&mildface:

Ok, not quite as monumentally newsworthy, but today in the UK is (wait.... <ahttps://www.celiac.com/uploads/emoticons/default_unsure.png alt=':unsure:'> maybe just England) is Open Original Shared Linknight or commonly known as bonfire night.

I refuse to buy any fireworks as they are so bloomin' dear, AND are dangerous, AND, Alan hates the noise........so all in all just another day for me lol! (must remember to keep the cats in tonight)

...and can I just say how much I admire Julie's posts, she never forgets a thing, and always addresses all the things I wish I had!!!

Amanda! Hope to hear something today . . .. ....

And yes, I am always SO impressed with and happily looking forward to Joooolie's posts. She remembers everything!. . ...And says the most wonderful things. . . . ... :)

Anyone heard from Amanda? Still thinking about her and her dad.

OMG. . . . . ....

Once again, solved every single problem in the world whilst sitting in hot tub with drinking girlfriends. Everything except yer phlu, Soooozie, although it was mentioned. My GP buddy stated that NOTHING makes inphluenza disappear. Stress and activity can perhaps prolong it, so please lie on yer couch wif mags, the TV and Weezie. ;)

....Hmmm...everything except the mess in me kitchen. Gad, and dinner will be happening in a couple of hours. Not on my watch, howevah - - I've clearly eaten and drunk too much to be working in any kitchen. :huh::lol:

Um. . . . .we toasted Mr. Guy Fawkes. Thank gawd there were no fireworks within reach, as we may have let them off.

No word from Amanda as yet. . . . .... :(

jerseyangel Proficient

Amanda's dad was probably in surgery for quite a while, so we may not hear from her till tomorrow--at the earliest. I've had them on my mind today, too.

Barkbark Obama--hee! :D

Hi everyone-

a quick breeze by, dad did not surgery today. He was unstable last night and so now the surgery is scheduled for 7am Friday morning. He took a shower today and passed out from the weakness and due to his heart being in such bad condition. So I am at my mom's and watching the little ones...talk to you all later...

tom Contributor

Thx for the news Amanda - you know how we psillies worry about each other's happ'nins.

Well it *could* have that meaning here too, that's why it's so phunny!!!!! If anyone goes there you can just say, "get your mind out of the gutter, twas not what I meant, ya pervert!". :laffyface:

(J, you best NOT check out my new photo album then - you'll be gone for HOURS :lol: )

:BLUSHFACE:

Well thank you guys! I must have y'all fooled because with my foggy wee brain I think I phorget lots!!

Yay on the no barphing, but BOO that you still feel like you've been sh!t off a cliff by a werewolf (Patti is SO getting an award for that phrase!)

I have to agree with Patti, the fever and the vomitous action takes a lot out of you so it might take a few days to get back to your old self.

Get lots of rest!! And phluids!

Bugger all I expect

LOL Nik!!!!!!!!!!

Ridgewalker Contributor

Hi guys! :D

Had to stop in, I miss you all so much!

I've been job-hunting like crazy... the lack of prospects around here is utterly dismal. I've offered myself up as a volunteer at the boys' school, just for something to do, which will be fun. Also, maybe then the next time a paid position opens up, I'll have a better chance. I'm sure the principal currently thinks I'm a basket case. Between our confrontations a couple years ago, and the drama this year, that dude has not seen me at my best.

Ezra got his cast off last week, and is NOT being careful of his arm at all. :unsure: Orthopedist said it's only 60-70% healed, which surprised me. But he's not having much pain, and so far he hasn't whacked it or slammed it around too much, so... :)

Lucas is a lot more emotionally volatile than he used to be, but is doing relatively ok. He's doing really fantastic in school, and has a lot of friends.

B had a full-out nervous breakdown and is in therapy. He almost lost his job, but saved it by going to part time (child support just got hacked in half.) He now jumps back and forth between wanting me to be his best friend, and treating me like I'm his biggest enemy, who ruined his life. He also goes back and forth between being emotionally unable to handle the kids visiting, and accusing me of keeping them away from him.

It's pretty hideous, but I'm doing ok. Trying to keep all this crap from the kids, so they can just heal. I think I've been mostly successful in that... but they don't really trust him anymore, especially Ezra. They know they can't count on him... which breaks my heart. I wish I could tell them that they can, but I can't- it would be a lie.

We all had a great Halloween- no barphing this year! I hope everyone's doing ok. I saw a message that Amanda's dad is having surgery? I hope he's ok, my thoughts are with you Amanda.

Love you all,

-S.

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
