I can remember those days... I used to throw them up on the counter, look the cashier right in the eye think to myself "yeah, I'm getting some tonight - you got a problem with that?"

:P

:lol::lol:

It was more of the combination....drinking, pooping, sex :D .....considering it was ALL we bought (around 10 pm on a Friday night). It looked rather "amusing"

:lol::lol:

Now there's a date for ya! :P

yup, I'd take it.... ;) (not necessarily in that order - probably pooping last)

She's not ill-tempered though.

Someone should send her a pm inviting her to this thread. Laura could use another ish-ish. Were there any other ish-ish's?

I'm an ish-ish!! About half-wayish to fortyish :lol:

I was going to try to stay and play but I need to go lay down; I was an idiot last night and ate something when I wasn't sure if it was safe or not....I'm paying for it now :(

Look forward to catching up later!

hahahaha, Patti, that made me laugh.

One of my personal favorites was buying beer (for hubby), Imodium in large quantities (for me), and um, "protection" (for both of us, so yall figure that one out.) I stood in line with a straight face and was beet red.

Back before I was Catholic (now it's all a matter of timing things), the funniest was when Adam bought a bottle of wine, a box of "protection", and a package of diapers!!! :lol:

Still premature posting....

Reading about nail polish and movies. :D

I'm like Liz....a grown-up TOMBOY....I could never deal with nail polish...plus I was always biting my nails off anyway. All I have to say is thank Gaaaaawd I wasnt swallowing them! GROSS! :blink: I think I have enough problems already...balls of nails in my tummy....now that would really SUCK! (as if my other stuff doesnt suck :rolleyes:)

When I hit 30 for some reason I became more girly...dunno what happened. :huh: Yes...I'm still tomboy but now I actually have dresses and femine clothes....I also wear bras now. Real bras...not sport bras. :P

Oh...and then I started painting my nails....ALL THE TIME. :o

My nails grow pretty fast and decent now that I dont chew them off....thing is that since I got sick they are kinda weird. Like SUPER hard...cant explain it....they dont really break cuz they're almost indestructible now. My mom says this is a good thing....I'm thinking NO....not a good sign. If they do break its almost like breaking a piece of plastic. Part of its broken and I have a hard time just breaking the whole thing off so I can just get on with my day.

I dont paint my nails anymore cuz the fumes would probably make me delerious...BUT I miss painting them. :(

When I used to wear polish it would only last about 2 days and they'd be all chipped...looking like I had put the polish on a month before. Even though I'm sensitive I'd still try to wear polish if it at least lasted longer than 2 days. I cant be reapplying the stuff that frequently....so NO polish for me.

I do wear lipgloss....clear only though. I wear it over my lipstick....I cant have no gloss on my lips...it drives me crazy.

Favorites movie....I'll have to ponder this. I LOVE romantic comedies...suspense, its all good except the Sci-Fi stuff....I cant deal with that. Romantic comedies though....even though they are WAY too predictable. :)

What else???

Oh yeah...Susan NOOOOO....You musnt get sucked into the Krispy Kreme donuts world! Who knows what could happen??? :unsure:

Think about the nuggets addiction....what if this happened with gluteny donuts?? Would we ever see you again?? :o

Have to say....I never had a Krispy Kreme. :(

Took the whole thing for granted....thought they'd always be there....putting it off for another day. You never know what you COULD have had...until its gone. <_<

Oh well....when I'm all better I'm headed there myself. I gotta find out if I'm really gluten intolerant at some point right?? Might as well start with a Krispy Kreme donut....my first one ever!! :D

Be back later for more catching up.

I always wondered if that worked...guess not :unsure:

I don't know, I met a woman once who used it, she was older than I was, and her eyes looked GREAT!! There is an old picture of Adam and I on his dresser from 1999, I look older, had bags under my eyes, and my face was puffy. gluten-free is a beauty secret in its own right!

They even use duct tape as a "lift" for their assets.

No, no, no, it's masking tape ... imagine pulling duct tape off!!!! I've used that secret since I was about 16. The first time I did it around hubby, he couldn't imagine what I was doing!!!! :lol: Once at the academy awards one of the stars used a little too much and it was showing! :huh:

OMG--that is SO true! I have a picture that was taken about 5 months before my dx. I was at a function, so I was dressed up, had makeup on and thought I looked ok. I felt awful, though. Anyway, I came across it recently and scanned it onto the computer. What a difference between that and the picture that was my former avatar. The difference in my face was astounding! I wish I could put up a 'before and after.'

My daughter had a friend in HS who made her prom dress out of duct tape and her date made a tux. She said it was really pretty! But, they don't stick it to the body for clothes.

This is the second time today I've read about this appropriately named bread -- at least they have a sense of humor! WHERE CAN I BUY SOME!!!!

Don't be scared, I am here ... just got back from washing my car -- even had enough energy to vacuum it out and clean the windows!! Then I went to the grocery and bought myself a porterhouse steak -- I always have leftovers for breakfast, nothing as good as steak and eggs!! Now, I need to get cooking!! Then, relaxation for the rest of the evening, I'm supposed to be banking this energy, not using it.

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
