SusieQ- Put the nuggets down and walk away slowly. Come out with your hands clean and no one will get hurt.

It's better if you don't know :lol:

Susie Q has a slightly mad obsessive addiction to them, and we have had an intervention, but to no avail the urge for more nuggets have been so strong and have overcome all good intentions to kick the habit :lol: .

I went to Target yesterday and I am in the candy aisle and see shelves and shelves of Susie's NUGGETS, all different kinds.....truffles, with nuts, without nuts, toffee. So I grab a bag. BIG MISTAKE.

Now I understand the obsession. Little individually tin foiled wrapped creamy milk chocolate bites of melt in your mouth heavenly goodness.

Premature post:

Loooooove Ecco Bella. It's the only mascara that's never entirely irritated my eyes.

Hi, btw...another ish ish here. I've mostly been lurking. Need to go read the rest of the thread (such quality entertainment :lol::lol: )

Mi Mango!!!!!!!! I guess I am an ish :lol:

I also use Ecco Bella mascara, and I love it :)

Are you gonna post your koala pic???

Baaaaaad mojo or kharma or something :(

Maybe i should burn some incense and dance around my barbie doll collection or something?

I think it might have been the whole Gene Autry thing on the "arguing "thread....Don't mess with dead singing cowboys! (or their stuffed horses) :blink:

Richard, you crack me up :lol::lol:

I win every fight in our marriage, I just jion her side! :D

SAFEST: WOW! Look at you!

ULTRA SAFE: Here, have some wine

DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about?

SAFER: Could we be overreacting?

SAFEST: Here's my paycheck.

ULTRA SAFE: Here, have some wine.

DANGEROUS: Should you be eating that?

SAFER: You know, there are a lot of apples left.

SAFEST: Can I get you a piece of chocolate with that?

ULTRA SAFE: Here, have some wine.

DANGEROUS: What did you DO all day?

SAFER: I hope you didn't over-do it today.

SAFEST: I've always loved you in that robe!

MANGO!! now get a hold of yourself...you're in AUSTRALIA where the hot aussie men outnumber the women by...well I forgot but there are way more women than men....I think. Forget about the koala, get back on the horse girl and do some more research! ;)

What are these nuggets everybody is always talking about?? I think I missed something :unsure:

So what your not perfect? THATS IT GET OUT OF THIS THREAD! :lol: Oh, crud that means me to... mind holding the door while I get my things ? :lol:

Hmm do you mean you have a grown child that has moved out? Not sure whatyour asking... sorry I do not read every post on this board, I struggle to keep up with teh few places I can be a helper... so missed the story if you posted it already! :huh:

Ok, sorry you got lost. Don't pack yet! :D

My 22 year old daughter moved far away 3 weeks ago and I have just been kind of lost. My other daughter got married in June and my son moved far away about a year ago. So it's been quite a struggle, but I am focusing on it just being a new journey. That's what happens when you have 3 kids in 3 years they also leave around the same time!

It's good to read about all that has been going on with everyone.

What are bumble bar's? Are they any good? I made some chocolate chip cookies out of a mix this morning but they weren't too good ;)

Then tomorrow I turn the big 50!!! New journey?? How did this happen so fast? Will I be kicked out of the 40 board?

DingoGirl Enthusiast

TAVI!!!!! OMG turning 50 tomorrow??? Well.....you know what they say.....50 is the new...is it 30? ;)

gosh, that must be so stressful, having all the kids gone at once. A total re-adjustment in your thinking.....and a time to think more about yourself, I suppose, when y ou're probably not used to that.

You look very youthful and adorable in your photo...and lots of fun.

oops - gotta go - more later....

BEV - we need a photo with you and the sparkly devil horns, you crazy girl.....

nikki-uk Enthusiast

OMG, it's took me 30 mins to catch up on a couple of days posts.

Just wanted to say Hi to y'all!! :)

TriticusToxicum Explorer
Richard..... :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: oh dear gawd....this doesn't sound like the best weekend ever, and sorry about the KY, yes, good thing it was not a petroleum-based accident....I think what you're supposed to do is....light the hair of a Barbie on fire, and then.....run around the new refrigerator..... :blink::lol::P

MUCH BETTER DAY TODAY!

TGI Columbus Day/Daddy Daughter Date Day! The 3 of us have been having a wonderful day. We made an apple pie this AM, they "helped" me remove a cabinet needs to go to make room for the new fridge then we went to McD's for Happy Meals and an hour of screaming madness in the play area. On th eway home we stopped @ Dunkin Donuts and got some Munchkins (lucky kids :rolleyes: ) for an after nap snack. They are napping right now and I'm contemplating how to best run/connect the h20 line to the fridge (it's not here for another week or so...*@#$%! Home Depot :angry:) ...I honestly didn't know we HAD KY jelly :ph34r:

Mary seems in a more civil mood today. She is at work, so we're going to make a nice dinner for her. No wine, but maybe some whine :P

So no girls on trampolines...girls on bungies? :huh:

FYI - No Barbies were harmed, the incense was enough to drive out the evil spirits :)

lonewolf Collaborator

Tavi - don't worry, we'll "grandfather" you in. I don't have the heart to call you an ish - you've been through too much already.

Julie - thanks for the laugh! :lol::lol::lol:

Carla - glad you've had some good days all in a row!

Susan - do they make dark chocolate nuggets? Wait, maybe I should hope they don't.

Andrea - an off the wall question. Is Lingonberries Market worth a drive from Federal Way?

Green12 Enthusiast

Susie, I now understand your addiction. The bag I bought yesterday is gone :ph34r::ph34r: I got the milk chocolate truffle nuggets and my mom got the toffee. I had a few of the toffee ones, but my heart belongs to the Truffles. HEAVEN.

Susan - do they make dark chocolate nuggets? Wait, maybe I should hope they don't.

Hi Liz :)

OMG, DO NOT ASK, you will be sorry :lol:

But to answer your question, yes, yes they do have dark chocolate nuggets, Special Dark Chocolate with Almonds and Special Dark Truffles in fact, for informational purposes only.

Use caution in the candy aisle, or better yet, avoid it all together. Run away from it as fast as you can and don't look back :lol::lol:

Hi Nikki!! I read in the other thread about your cat, so sorry :( And congrats about the grand baby, how exciting!

Hi Tavi, so good to see you!! How are you doing with the kids all gone?? I am not mad at you, don't really know what happened, but I seem to miss out or show up late where all the drama is happening :lol: Happy early B-day to you, hope its a great one :)

Sounds like you are having a fun and busy day today Richard.

BEV - we need a photo with you and the sparkly devil horns, you crazy girl.....

YES!!! I agree, would love to see that :lol:

Rikki Tikki Explorer

Went to San Francisco yesterday, boy was it a mob scene. I guess it was fleet week. I went with my mom and brother to meet a cousin I hadn't seen since we were kids. Had a great time.

What are bumble bars? ;)

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
    • Ello
      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.
    • Ello
      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
