I'm with V'scope on not much embarassing me. I've had to make the dreaded trip to the drugstore more than once. No matter how much other stuff you buy to hide the fact your buying something with wings that doesn't fly, it always seems like the flightless pad "always" (is that where they get the name?) requires a price check :blink:

Good guffaw Richard, nearly blew coffee out my nose on this one....

and as far as INVITING men here....well we'd better send the Geese and dingos (um, reference to our security task force in the OMG thread for those who don't know) to fetch Steve - yes, poor STeve, doesn't know he's been sucked into anoother thread while he's minding his own business...... :lol:

Patti - ancient - I think not!! wow - permanently straightening hair...another thing I"ve done to myself :ph34r::o worked rather well - much better than the coloring experience.....too many other chemicals on hair to do it now - -

Gray's - - my prediction - - Meredith is going to get way too exhausted dating both of these guys - there will be a meltdown at some point - - but HOW can theylet her be wtih McDreamy, they would NEVER give us that satisfaction......they will torture us.....

Hi Kristy - OMG she wears color-coordinated nail polish - - should we let her in - - :lol::lol::o:lol: (totally kidding, of course you can come - you and PixieGirl can be the glamour divas).....

My husband is like Richard and Vincent in regard to not being embarassed to buy certain personal products. Actually, if the cashier is a guy, I get kinda embarassed. :ph34r:

Susan--I decided against any highlighting in light of the straightening. You're right--don't want to damage the mane. :D Not too much, anyway :unsure:

Good God, not THE GEESE! :blink: I guess we should be thankful there aren't any ill-tempered penguins in the area - there AREN't any ill-tempered penguins here....are there? :huh:

Patti... omg... another twin phobia... I hate to go get personal things at the store too... :lol::ph34r:

:ph34r: Isn't that funny! I really think my husband is less embarassed than I am :lol:

Related story--I used my last 2 emergency Immodiums before I went to the salon. (anxiety in full swing) So, I'm in CVS on the way home buying more. All I could think of was--"this guy probably thinks I have D"!! :lol::lol:

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.

I read somewhere that the most shoplifted items are condoms and Preparation H. Now there is a joke in there somewhere...

Patti, I'm the same way. My husband has no qualms whatsoever. So maybe we should just be embarassed with the unmarried cashiers. :unsure::ph34r:

Ok, Celia.....we can be triplets in this instance. Let me in. :lol:

The store I buty "protection" at has everything back by the pharmacy so I pay there. Nice and convenient.

:angry: ROBERT :angry: had a good story - buying tampons for his then 15-y-o daughter, diapers for his 2 year old daughter, and a six pack for himself.....

I have used preparation H under my eyes, as models do, for puffiness...not only did I stink like cod, it burned and did not work.....

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

I HOPE there is one lurking and will come play with us... I miss her..

I would NEVER buy beer at the same time, I still get carded once in a while, so it might slow my getaway...

You've just shattered my dreams of Cindy Crawford, or should I say "stinky fish-faced" SUPERmodel Cindy Crawford.

FYI supermodels aren't supermodels because they are smart :) I wouldn't take any advice from them :P

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

No more Cosmo for you! (or me) ;)

Oh, bad choice of birds, I didn't mean THAT Penguin (notice the capitalization). I meant ill mannered-kiwi's, no that'll tick of the NZlanders...Dodo's- they're extinct, right?

happygirl Collaborator

thanks for the good laugh! :)

aaaaaaaaaaaagh excellent :lol: but I'll tell you something, Cindy Crawford is genetically gifted and perfect...I don't think she even GETS puffy eyes and most likely doesn't stink like fish - ever :angry::lol:

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?

She has her own infomercial now. She is hawking some ageless beauty cream for 4 easy payments of $29.95 you too can turn back the clock... "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" (I know, that was Kelly LeBrock - at least she married Steven Segal before he weighed 300 lbs and lost his mind)

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

I guess it's different for the ladies :rolleyes:

happygirl Collaborator

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"

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
