Hi everybody! I am here, afterall. No, you didn't ditch me. :rolleyes:

Had a hurk of a day today. It actually got cold enough for the last of the rain to freeze (on the deck and on the grass at least). I decided to walk out to get the paper by way of the back door. I stepped out onto the deck, enjoyed watching the birdies feeding and bathing in the waterfall. Then proceeded to play slinky down the stairs....flexible flyer without the snowbank and without the sled....arse over teakettle and all of that. It's fun to watch a slinky but not to be one. Once I got over feeling all shook up (not Elvis style) I decided I was fine and probably would live another day. However.....many sore spots, joints achy more than usual, and one knee that definitely looks melon-like.....big and round.

Went on to have a fairly normal day otherwise. Church was nice, started the crockpot, made bread. Am so glad I didn't have to work today. I normally do on Sundays.

We're about to get a cold snap for the next day or two....teen predicted over night. Then back to better temps. Still too cold for me when it's "normal". Guess I should have moved even further south!

Anyway....am loving the posts.....adore the elfing yourself!!!! So clever! Carry on all...I'll be back :D

When I came back there were frantic kitty prints pacing around all the doors, so I called him. Lyle shows up, well past mad, thoroughly into 'Thank God' and waddles inside.

Poor little Lylesicle :(

Put some snow pics on Spacebook. I realize 90% of you will look and them and think "Your excited about THIS??" but hey, this never happens here. I can't even remember the last time we had more than 2 inches of snow.

Maybe he'll decide to stay inside now.

Poor boy is completely sacked out on my bed. At least he was kind enough to curl up on the towels I put down for him.

Oh Lemon Squeezee Did she eat yer crispy tree? Some ornaments perhaps??

:unsure: I am starting to think that the Sassy Face is also used when she's just plain mad at me for leaving her. :lol: we are RARELY apart.....'tis wildly dysfunctional :blink: She has not snacked on any part of the tree, nor scavenged through any trash.....nor left a phecal nugget anywhere. :lol:

BTW I have posted new photos of her very animated face on the 'book ;)

JULES!!!!!!!!! I shall STEAL Nik's tiger pig and LOUNGE about yer divan and eat snacks and drink tea and we will all watch English Christmas movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I not just say this very thing last week?!?!?! Lisa's toaster broke down and then with all of Nikki's electrical/mechanical situations over there...I dunno, it's not of a phluid nature any more

:o you DID say it! I KNEW I heard it somewhere! :lol:

the setups.......well, one's a swim coach and wine rep, the other (the hottie that I've known before) is a physical therapist.......but - - he really IS damaged and 'tis not time......

I am not concerned and not really putting much thought into this......have asked God to work out all details. ;) My young neighbor and his wife told me about the swim coach in August or September, for Pete's sake, and I have delayed the meeting all this time......

You need to meet my brother, dammit!!

Here's an old email I found from him that he sent this past March (obviously was around Easter - - should change it to a Christmas theme):

How to Have an Easter Egg Hunt in Solitary Confinement

Send him down, how many times do I have to tell ya?????????????????? :wink:

solitary confinement easter egg hunt *snicker* :lol:

OMG. . . . keep an eye on Weezie's poops, Sooooze. . . . you may suddenly see a li'l snowman's or angel's face staring up at you from the midst of it all. . . . . ..

:lol: 'tis true!

I went to a party down the street, leaving Lyle outside. When I came back there were frantic kitty prints pacing around all the doors, so I called him. Lyle shows up, well past mad, thoroughly into 'Thank God' and waddles inside. So I look to see why he's waddling and the poor boy has about a pound of ice balls stuck all over his tummy!

well past mad and thoroughly into Thank GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Poor little Lylesicle - thawing out on Jess's bed!!!!!!!!!!!! oh, the TRAUMA of snow-matted phur!!!!!!!

Our youngest cat, Riley, loves to go outside on the deck at the rear of the house. She sits by the sliding door and cries plaintively to be let out. Well, there is a good phoot of snaux on the deck. Today, Jacquie acquiesced to her plaints and opened the door. She didn't know what to make of the snaux. She looked at it, but did not venture out. Nevertheless, I expect that tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, she will again be at the door whining to be let out.

Nikki, we have a spare kettle you can borrow. It is electric, something our American friends just won't get. Drop by, ring the bell, and we'll let you have it.

Em, that is a marvelous happening.

A quiet day here. We made the staff work so we could stay home and rest catch up on housework (J) and bookkeeping and other paperwork (P). Back into the storm store tomorrow, with full days Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The store will be closed on the 25th and 26th.

More snaux coming on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bah. :angry:

Good morning everyone!!!! All of your stories of snaux make me appreciate where I am all the more. Until 2 years ago we lived in the Adirondacks in Upstate NY. They are having lots of nassssty snaux and cold weather, too! Most of my family is still there, so I get reports. Don't miss it atall, nope.

Broozes are being ignored as much as possible. Even if they were exact images of Michal Jackson, I'd never admit it :huh::lol: !!! Been wearing a brace on the knee to keep it stable. I'm a tad concerned about a popping/clicking sensation when I walk. I'll stew on that for a while, hoping I don't need to do anything about it.

Going for a mamogram this afternoon :angry: Hate it, hate it. Then again, I don't know anyone who enjoys it. Think I'll practice slamming myself in the doorway.....or maybe I'll be so frozen I won't feel it. One can only hope. :huh:

Anyway, hope you are coping all right with this winter madness.....no power outs, plenty of gluten-free food, no more hairy ice-balls! 'till later

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Nikki, we have a spare kettle you can borrow. It is electric, something our American friends just won't get. Drop by, ring the bell, and we'll let you have it.

:blink: I have heard of them, these electric kettles...think me dad had one at his office....but you're right, we don't get it! :lol:

Lots of snaux, Peter, and lots of work.....pray you have hundreds of wealthy customers who want to pamper their pets!!

Awwwwww.........me very phirst 'where is Leesah'! :wub: ..........warms the cockles of me 'eart!

WHAT? how could we? Well this must mean that you haven't been absent for more than two days? you usually DO check in in the eves, you silly

MIL's flight touches down at 7:25 pm this evening.

Um, there isn't an emoticon available to catch the phlurry of emotions crossing me phace at this moment.....and over the next fifteen days . . .. . . . .. ...

gahhhhhhh! the North Umberland Wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Yes, as Paddeigh suggested, check in often in Sillyville.....drink more......and, much soaking in the tub, methinks.....

Oh! I have an idea for a fun project!!! hide the crutch tip in strange places repeatedly for her. First, in her bed......she'll bring it out to you, with the disquietingly casual remark: "I found this in my bed, what does it mean?" and then.......in her suitcase, her bath, on the seat of the car before she gets in, pocket of her coat.......finally, her coffee.........it'll be fun!!!!!! *SNACKLE* :lol:

But really Em - - don't bring Man Head over during her stay and put him by her bed at night. That would NOT be nice. :unsure:

psillies . . . have been over-indulging in the cookies . . . might be my barfday today.

same with marshmallows here :ph34r:

I say go out and just have fun with it, and you are right let everything fall where it may :D

Last night, Suzanne Somers was on Larry King.......I phell asleep and woke up to the last 15 minutes or so of it....and in me sleepy haze I swear I heard her mention Julie :P Could it be???? :unsure:

Oh dear gawd, NOOOO! :lol: ....cannot get away from that woman <_<

I've an idea, Tuhreeesah. You're on the right track with the frozen idea - - you really will not feel anything if yer boobs are frozen...... . .Might I suggest standing outside the medical clinic, just before your appointment, and opening your coat, lifting up your sweater and bra, and letting them be completely exposed for, say, three or four minutes. You will be numb for an hour, perhaps, and will feel no discomfort from the squishing plates.

Yes, this is a grand idea. Must remember to re-jig my yearly appointment so that it falls in January instead of August. . . . . ....

SUPERB, Soooooze!!! No, finally in her Christmas stocking. . . .. ....

I also am quite obsessed now with the idea of Sam Hill Manhead in her bed at night -- rather like a Godfather move... . .. ....I'm calling my girlfriend today, telling her I want him back on Christmas Eve. . . . .

This morning, I caught John Pinette on The View doing a comedy bit. He was talking about different irritants in his life, and he mentioned health food stores. He said something like--"I tried gluten free bread.....gluten free......I have no idea what gluten is, but apparently it tastes fantastic!" :lol::lol:

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!
