WELL, HEY!!! Psillyville stirs again!   :D    :D     Hmmmm......joke.....joke....let's see.....

 

Well, this is from real life: at the entrance to the funeral home/cemetery near me, the big, austere, stone-surrounded sign at the main entryway says, "Drive carefully.....we'll wait"....

At least around year 2001ish, there really was a hair salon in the Pittsburgh area that was named "Shirley's Curl Up and Dye."  I would always laugh on it when we took a certain road it was on.  LOL

anyone else want to play stump the emergency pack....well one of those checks for karen is a pair of comfy shorts rather than undies...my dear aunt gert drilled it into us...lever leave home without spare panties in your purse -- that is an embarrassing practice when you are raising little boys that are digging through your bag for a snack (cuz there was always one -- long before i had ever heard the word celiac).

I don't leave the house without a package of wet wipes  :ph34r: and an emergency stash of meds.  Thinking I'll have to add the bottle of wine to my go bag.  I don't know why I didn't think of that....it's so obvious  B)

wipes - check, but were dried out

meds - had to add the silly epi to the go bag thus the reason for today's inspection -- figured if I had to add epi, i would take the opportunity to add wine -- which is what I am about to do to my day

 

pouring now :)

If you are pouring your your wine into a glass, and it is not full:

If you think the glass is half full, you are an optimist.

If you think it is half empty, you are a pessimist.

If you believe that the glass is the wrong size, you are an engineer!

Engineer here...just went to a larger glass...cuz I spilled a touch from the last pour. Now I have a large glass...half full ;)

Edited to add...'tween pours I got the pool plumbing hooked back up again and bathed the dog ... Poor thing has been scared of water her whole life and is now 15 and has skin eby-jeebies...we splashed around in a warm epsom bath and she seems to be happy now.

Added fun...the salt water chlorine generator has an alarm issue....perfect water salivation and copper levels....but the generator is still unhappy...thankful for amazon prime right now...new generator to arrive mañana :)

I drop my drinks so often, my husband made me buy a bunch of those lidded insulate cups with straws, and I like their protection so much, I only use those if I am away from the kitchen table!  Kind of sad, but it works!

 

Being all anal retentive and OCD, you would crack up at the stuff I kept on me at all times.  My car has two ice scrapers, tire pressure thing, spare cords and chargers, an emergency baggie with floss, q tips, tampons, bandaids, wet wipes, alcohol wipes, hair ties, pen... i keep a brush and floss picks in there (i like to floss, a lot.) and an emergency roadside kit.  None of these things are visible, all neatly tucked away in my pretty car that I like to keep very clean because I don't like dirty things.

 

My purse is a greater extension of all that... lol... but the #1 thing I never leave home without is HAND SANITIZER!!!  I'm a serious germaphobe and pretty much die inside if I don't have it when I need it.

Check on all that except the thing my husband used to "love" picking up at the store before I lost that plumbing ;)

Was joking with hubs tonight...I think I could build a crude tent with emergency blankets and duct tape....and outfit it pretty well...all with my emergency response team pack....of course I am no longer sure I could carry it a great distance.

Omg......I am exactly, ridiculously, frighteningly the opposite. Do I actually even have ONE ice scraper in my car?.... :unsure: ....not sure......Umbrella?....Jumper cables?....emergency candles/blankets.....?.....I would be a pathetic mess if suddenly stranded on an isolated stretch. And my PURSE, well......no feminine products (actually, got them in my gym bag).....no band-aids (always asking DH for one -- always in his wallet....he is the ex-boy scout, OCD-ready-for-armageddon type), minimal makeup....no hand sanitizer. I remain a germ-covered, makeup-less, food-between-my-teeth miscreant.....Gawd, how do I keep friends?   :rolleyes:

We've got a dual- anality (I think I just made that word up)  thing going on here. J and I both have "kits".

We now live where you must keep a "disaster kit" for hurricane season. Being a celiac requires advance thinking for travel anyway, so

I've got a "got-to" bag anyway, so I just added to it a bit. His has bottled water, tools, duct tape, batteries, flashlights--seriously, how many flashlights do you really need? apparently 10 or so. (Now this made sense when we lived in the remote countryside, but here? )

Mine has shelf-stable food, hand mirror and small bag with er, grooming materials LOL--waaa? I like to look good in any weather,-the famous TP--I think the TP thing is ingrained having had issues all my life until DX lol--1 change of clothes for both of us--which is a tee shirt, shorts and undies lol, paper towels. Things like that.

Yes, the car has items like this too--all the time---bandaids, paper towels, flashlight< see what I mean?-- stash cash, car cell phone charger, beach shoes. 

And of course, now Bella the cat has to have a "got-go" bag too.  :lol: right next to her carrier in case of evacuation. (note to self: get kitty cat valium.....)

He had more than that at one point...and 13 hammers....before we left NY. I just got that man to whittle down on the hoarding thinger.

Please, please do not email him and tell him about the solar ones. :lol:

Shake flashlights! Even better than solar because, when you need the solar flashlight it's been sitting in a dark " go bag" or under your car seat. These things you shake them up and they work.

      Awaiting Biopsy results

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain. That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral. It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes, see an ophthalmologist. They have...

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
