How long have you been married?

Close to 30 years to a part-time husband for 26 (he traveled three to four days a week overseas) now he is retired full time. I have twice as much husband and half as much money. B)

My hubby travels, too, but not overseas, just in a five state area. We've been married for 22 years.

Wow, how time flies. Laura, tell that handsome hubby of yours that a nice diamond studded anniversary ring would be quite appropriate, a necessity when you go to all those black tie event in the city. Gotta keep up girl! :P (You get the good stuff in the early years and as the years pass you get the weed-eaters and leaf blowers). ^_^

If the date slips by me, I hope that you have a wonderful celebration.

xxoo

THREE YEARS, NO WAY! (yelling), man I gotta get a life. :o Looking for a project, any suggestions? I am a little depressed this week. I went to Roses to get a shower curtain liner and they gave me the Senior Discount and didn't even ask my age - I don't qualify. So have fun now, it gets a little pitsy in about 30 years.

Guess this whole thread is off topic in so many ways, but fun.

Ann, hope we have cheered you up a bit. Appparently, there are screws loose in many of us and I am first to stand up. :rolleyes:

Close to 30 years

That is FANTASTIC!! I love hearing about longevity in marriages! My parents have been married . . . . forever! Dave's parents were, too. I seriously don't like the fact that I was married only 7 years then divorced. Don't get me wrong . . . being in an abusive relationship is NOT what life is about. And, all my experiences brought me to where I'm supposed to be -- with Dave. I just know that chances are, we're not going to be married 50 years. I'd be 91!! Although, that would still be TEN YEARS younger than my grandmother was!! Okay, maybe I don't feel so bad! I look forward to growing old with Dave. We will be a fun old couple.

Lisa, almost 30 years is great. Pretty cool.

A LITTLE bit goofy?????!!!!! <_<

A horse walks into a bar . . . . .

Bartender asks: "Why the long face?" :P

Just warming up. Haven't gotten to the "hind lick maneuver" stage yet.

ONE BIG MASSIVE ALTOID??????? My question would be "which party will be the recipient of such a curiously strong peppermint? Simply a question, that's all. :ph34r:

BTW: Forgot the rest of the backg-up singing:

Ba Ba Baba, Baba, Baba, Ba; Ba Ba Badag adag adag . . . Oh, forget it. I've been singing these lyrics over and over trying to get them out to write them, then I google'd it and can only get the stupid lyrics, not the backup lyrics for WAY too long. Poop. Sorry about that, for all you "GI" celiacs. You can get me back by saying, "Stagger." :lol:

OK Lisa

Now I understand what a blue moon is. Thanks for the insight! By the way I think you are all hylarious. Enjoy your mints!

Full moons always cause lunar madness and I am not joking. Ask anyone who works with emergency situations like police, nurses, doctors, fire, ems etc., they hate working a full moon. Our last full moon this month we had 5 stabbings alone just to do with my job and that was only for one night. As full moon madness is concerend it lasts for the night before and the night after also. So as the 31 is a Thursday and the blue moon once again the tail end will fall on my watch and it will be 10 times worse than any other full moon. The blue moon months are always worse than a normal full moon month.So, as the first full moon was very bad this month this next one will be just the worst.

I kid you not . . . . on full moons, when I was practicing, EVERYONE would call with some bizarre ache or pain and HAVE to be seen THAT DAY. Since I was out on my own, I needed as many visits as I could get. I would work from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. on full moons -- and the day before, and the day after. I actually marked them on the calendar on the receptionist's desk. ICK.

Yes!!! I am MUCH better off than when I realized we had 2 full moons this month!! Reading all these great posts has mellowed my grumpiness and reassured me I am in the right forum!! I love the far out humor, and downright nuttiness ! It really makes my day. This WONDERFUL group of folks is so neat to come home to every night. And my DH of nearly 31 years has finally gotten over the nightly competition for the forum! :lol:

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA 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/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
