And, Floridian, I hope I look as good as you when I hit 40!

You're sweet to say so, but really--I'd like to know Celia's secret! Come on Celia, spill it :lol:

I admit, my daughter looks a lot like me.....but I don't think I look quite that young. Boy the tazorac cream that Susan is using must really be working for me. :lol::lol:

New topic... :o:lol: what color nail polish do you all wear??

Red, toes only, year around. Is there any other color?

rinne Apprentice

I never wear nail polish, it makes me feel like my fingernails can't breath.

And that is a beautiful photo of you and your grandbaby, you are obviously a fabulous woman. :)

CarlaB Enthusiast
I don't wear nail polish.... :o

EDIT - omg... I thought I was the only girl in the world that doesn't wear polish... woo hooo... thank goodness I'm not alone!

I don't wear it on my nails ... only my toes. I feel the same way about it on my nails ... like they're suffocating!

Ok, so now we have three of us. I used to wear clear a long, long, long time ago.....Once upon a time, in a time far, far away.......about 20-25 years ago. :P

HI Laura J - - yes, totally random.....silly stuff....maybe we'll have a big point to all of it one day.....ha ha ...most likely not ;) (not that we don't discuss serious stuff ever - we do)

Mouse - - the tazorac is prescription, adn I don't know how it will address wrinkles - in my family, the women don't wrinkle much (I still have very oily skin). But dang, did we bake ourselves in teh sun...and long after my friends quit baking in the sun, I was hanging off granite and baking even more. :o I do know that for really deep wrinkles, only laser procedures and/or surgery can help. For fine wrinkles, definitely get Retin A or Renova. We saw a picture of you earlier....I think your wrinkles - laugh lines - were really lovely...you should never lose those! :)

I think I am going to enjoy a glass of wine on this lovely, gray Sunday. So few pleasures....you know, I quit totally for a while, and now can occasionally drink a glass and not want more - no problem. In fact, I don't think about or miss my wine as I used to.

If only the same thing could happen with chocolate and the potato chips..... :ph34r:

edit: - now FOUR of us - except I do ALWAYS have nude color on my toes......

Interesting about the nail polish--I only wear it on my toes, too. Right now, it's clear, but I like to try out different colors.

I usually don't wear it on my fingernails--maybe for very special occasions, but normally I don't. I keep them filed and buffed, though. I think they look healthy.

CarlaB Enthusiast

My fingernails grow very long. They just grow so fast that I can hardly keep them short. I usually end up cutting then filing, but ocassionally I'll put some polish on them if we're going out. It does't usually last more than a day or two though. People are generally amazed that they're natural and so long! I just don't think they need polish!

Funny--mine are the same way! My fingernails are about the only part of me that work correctly :D

HI EVERYONE

CELIA,,,SO HAPPY :):):):):):):):):):):):) TO HAVE YOU BACK! WHEW!!!

I can't even relate to all you young 'spring chicken' :(

At 65 I'll have to start a thread about walkers, canes, bath tub hand helpers, eyeglasses and false teeth..and if my teeth don't get better I'll be needing those suckers instead of nail polish and face cream :lol:

my toes are almost always a shade of mauve. Even why I buy new colors, they are all in the same family. I don't do well with change :)

(I say this as I am surrounded by boxes because we are moving next weekend!)

I envy you long-nailed women. I bite mine so bad, its embarrassing.

I NEVER WEAR NAIL POLISH!!!! (Most violinists don't--we have to have short nails.)

Someone told me recently that someone she was related to bit their nails so bad they were having all kinds of stomach problems ... ended up being from the nails rotting in her stomach! She had to have surgery! Keep that in mind when you bite them and it will be easy to stop!!! My great-grandmother knew someone who had a ball of nails in her stomach, too. Yuck!

Just trying to help ... ;):rolleyes:

I have a box full of ballet pink/nude polishes - all the same :lol:

Where are you moving? different city/state or same town - better place? :)

oh my gawd.....ewwwwww....do you think that ball of nails was one of those weird DEMOID CYSTS (made of skin, hair, and teeth)??? that's one of the grossest things ev er :huh:

I have no idea. When she told me, I thought it was so disgusting, but I told my nail-biter son (the same one that's a liar, too, constantly lies, distresses me terribly), but it didn't help.

happygirl Collaborator

Wow, Carla, you are my new official mother on the board!!!!!! She used just about every trick in the book to get me to stop as a kid (and obviously, none worked.) Thanks for the 'encouragement", MOM :)

Susan, We have been in Virginia Beach for a year (moved here after I finished graduate school). Didn't have a real "plan"---go figure. Decided this summer we would start looking more long term (had a great job here, just didn't see a lot of growth). A perfect job (a master's level psychology/research position) opened at a defense agency in Northern Virginia. Couldn't resist! Plus, I am a Navy brat, and we had been stationed in DC/VA when I was younger. My parents bought a house there and had kept it and rented it out since the early 80s (the area is BEYOND expensive. BEYOND BEYOND BEYOND. Ugh!) They are wonderful and are renting it to us. It literally all fell into place. I got the job, and start on the 16th. I'm nervous, but excited. Happy cause it's not my first official job (got that one under my belt, woo hoo!) but nervous -and THRILLED - because its more in my field and I have to get my social science hat back on (nervous that I'm rusty).

Probably more than you ever wanted to know, but I'm good for that. :)

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Nope, Laura, really good info....my best friends from Monterey moved to Fredericksburg almost three years ago....I have a free plane ticket any time I'm ready to go. They both work in DC and the husband actually briefs people at the pentagon on military safety and tanks and stuff.....um....not sure what he does as if he told me he'd have to kill me..... :lol: Anywho they love it back there....I think you will too.

Am watching Syriana.....I have no idea what is goign on. :lol: I have a difficult time wtih SIMPLE plots and this one....well I THINK it's a good movie but just beyond me. Even Ebert and Roper said they were confused in parts but evidently they could comprehend THE WHOLE....I cannot.

Signing off, I think, and gonna start the movie over.....not that that will help. ;)

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
