Husband's Birthday

Okay, I have everything for my husband's birthday, but I can't think of anything to get him from our three year old daughter. This is a special birthday, he's turning 40, so I need to think of something special to get him. He's not sentimental, he works at home (no desk for pictures of her), he doesn't like sports or going out or anything like that, he doesn't have any hobbies. The poor man works 24/7. I have no clue what I should get him from her. I'm pretty much down to the wire, his birthday is Monday. I need to order whatever it is by noon tomorrow to avoid paying expedited shipping. Any ideas? I really want the gift to say "to daddy, i love you", so it has to be something really perfect.

I'm already planning on having her paint him a picture, I need something else too though.

What about prune juice and a box of depends.....just kidding :)

How about one of those kits where you can make the child's handprint into a stepping stone. Then you can put it out in your yard/garden. I know it's not very "manly" but.....it says "Daddy I love you" ha

Maybe the two of you could bring him breakfast in bed.

By the sounds of things, what he really needs is a picnic lunch, his family and a full day off! Somewhere away from home and phone. :lol:

Yea, I'm with Viola! He needs some time off!

I also like the other ideas already mentioned. Those are things that would be FROM her.

We did a great t-shirt from my daughter to her dad saying "Best Daddy Hands Down" and then put her handprints on it. Or since he's on the computer a lot, could you get some pictures together and turn it into a screensaver or mousepad? Those are so easy to do now too.

I would LOVE to give him a day off. Unfortunately, there's no way. Racing season is about to start and he's already about two weeks behind on systems to deliver. No one else can do the wiring harnesses but him, so he HAS to work. It really sucks.

I was thinking about maybe having her give him a gift certificate for the movies. He always wants to take her to the movie theater, but it's just never convenient for everyone to go, so we never go. I know he'll end up taking her to a G movie and probably not really enjoying it, but he'll enjoy spending time with her and he'll definitely enjoy eating greasy, buttery popcorn. What do you guys think? Is that a good idea? He really just isn't into the sentimental stuff at all. It makes him REALLY hard to buy for with gifts from her. Normally, I just let her choose one of the gifts that I've gotten him, but since it's his 40th I really wanted to do something special for him.

Speaking of movies......how about a subscription to Netflix. You order one, return it and pick out another one.

You know, I had suggested that to him a while back, I thought it was a great idea. He told me that if I did that I would have to get rid of our On Demand HBO/Cinemax/Showtime. I know, I know, he's like the hardest person to buy for. He's kind of very practical, anti luxury... I already bought him a water cooler for his shop, a c.d. he wanted, a box set for a season of Da Ali G show, the movie Borat which he really wanted to see, and XM radio. I think maybe I'll just go with the movie idea. Fandango sells gift certificates, so I can just print it out here and home. That way he can choose what, where, and when. Plus, he can use it to get away from the family or he can use it to spend time with the family.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
