My mom bought each of us a guardian angel visor clip that says Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.

I got guardian angel visor clips to, not for christmas but a few months ago, mine is the praying hands but it dont say anything. My hair keeps getting stuck in it when i sit to far up lol.

I can say with the wedding and a few other things one of our credit card bills is high....and scary high from my viewpoint. I would like to get rid of it. I am thinking of doing a balance transfer since the interest on the card is 24%....so it never comes down.....

balance transfer would be a great idea, we were in so much debt 18 months go we had to refinance the house, which was a pain in the butt, but at least we didnt have to keep paying so much interest on credit card bills. It owuld have taken us 50 yrs to pay them off lol

I never let my card get high before, I used to freak when it went near 1000......I wish it was there again. All the worrying in the world isn't helping either. We rent and that is almost 900 a month. Now I am afraid we will have to move somewhere else....to a not so nice area/place....which is on my mind. I just feel like we cannot get ahead...both of us have decent paying jobs and we dont use money for anything ever, no movies, clothes...I buy the majority of my clothes at the thrift store....I am lost....

Amanda, go to your bank and talk to them about a term loan. Unlike the credit card, you would have to make a fixed monthly installment against the balance. But you should be able to obtain an interest rate much lower than what you are paying on the credit card. The rate will depend on a number of things, but will almost certainly be less than 24%. An unsecured loan, with both of you working, should not be more than 12% at most. Prime rate is currently at 6% in Canada. There is no reason that you should be paying four times that.

Depending on how much debt you have and your credit level, your best bet might be one of those 0% apr for 6 months cards. This only works if you can pay off all of the debt in the grace period, but it does help! The other thing is to call the company and ask if you can have the rate lowered. A lot will just for asking.

Happy New year Everyone!!! We made it another year!

So as we say goodbye to 2007....which went very quickly might I add...Just wondering what goals everyone has set for 2008?

John and I are going to join the gym at work and try to get into shape....we have both put on some lbs over the years.

We are also going to start saving money for a home of our own...very big goal.

We are also going to try to start our family this year which is a very special goal for us and I know some members know that :)

So feel free to share your goals and resolutions for the coming year :):)

Have a safe and happy New Years Eve tonight too!

Being newly diagnosed. My goals are to get back into life. Work hard, vacation and just be healthy. I missed out on so much over the past 2 1/2 years because I was too sick.

Well, NOT ANYMORE. :D

Happy New Year

My little sister and I made a resolution to eat well, sleep enough and party with moderation. Should be doable. :)

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
