    WoW! Peter, that is SO cool. That Flash Forward sounds right up my alley. Looking forward to it! Has anyone else planted vegetable gardens this year? My dad and I collaborated and did a big one. We've got two kinds of bell peppers, zucchini, cantaloupe, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, and even CORN. Yeah, we kinda went nuts. The boys have...

    Good deal! (And thanks! )

    Hi everyone. I had been under the impression that Hunt's pudding packs were not gluten-free. But I just went hunting around on the internet to try to double check, and couldn't find much of anything. Anybody know anything about Hunt's pudding packs? Thanks!

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Hey everybody. Jess, I hope you feel better soon! Hi to all the new people I haven't met yet! Just stopped by to make sure everyone here knew about the Corn Chex thing. I found the post- I should've known it would have been been-there-done-that around here. The boys and I are doing well. I mean, yeah there's always some new drama every other week...

    I've been giving Ez 3 softgels, although the bottle says you can give 4. For 4 softgels, the total Omega 3s is 252 mg. Also 120 mg of Omega 9, and some Vitamins A, D, and E thrown in. Which one is Smack? Your boy or your girl? eta: I wasn't sure about dosage at first either-- the only reason I started out with 3 softgels, is because that's what...

    Actually I have been thinking about that! I checked the requirements, and I already have enough credit hours. Something about never knowing when I'm going to be working puts me off, but I've been thinking I should do it anyway... quit being so chickenly.

    Oops, sorry I missed this last night! I was pretty sure I was seeing a difference in a week, but in two weeks there was no doubt in my mind! It was about the same time table for his teachers. I didn't say anything to his teachers ahead of time, or tell them about the Omega 3s... I just waited to see if they noticed any difference-- and they did, enough to...

    Oh, I forgot to tell you guys-- I started Ezra on a children's DHA Omega 3 supplement, and a B complex. This combo is starting to gain popularity for children who have all kinds of issues: bipolar, ADHD, Autism spectrum, etc. I just want to add my ringing "endorsement." I have noticed a BIG difference in Ezra's ability to focus, and control his temper...

    Hi guys! Had to stop in, I miss you all so much! I've been job-hunting like crazy... the lack of prospects around here is utterly dismal. I've offered myself up as a volunteer at the boys' school, just for something to do, which will be fun. Also, maybe then the next time a paid position opens up, I'll have a better chance. I'm sure the principal...

    Whoops, that's what I get for trying to skim, copy and paste. I'm going to try and be around more often again now. Starting to get straightened out.

    Thanks, Laura, I was hoping you'd see this- you're quick! I thought there were 5, but I probably was thinking of the gene test, too. Thanks again!

    Hi guys- An old friend contacted me, who I haven't talked to in many years! She has been dealing with gastro issues for the past 5 years, numerous misdiagnoses, meds that don't work, etc. You know the drill. Well, she came across Celiac in her own research, and remembered me, so... I'm putting together some info for her, and I can't find the 5 blood tests...

    I just read this thread for the first time, and I had the same thought as Janet. Example-- prepackaged foods are always stamped with some sort of expiration date for that batch. I don't see how adding another stamp to specify ppm would add a huge amount to the consumer's price (strictly as a cost/labeling issue.)

    Sad a lot of the time, crying a lot again last night, and a ton of anger, but... nothing can take my smile away for long, when I've at least got my boys. I think they're the only thing that's kept me sane. Ah, I like those too, especially to make nachos. Ya know I had to run right over there to see the bullet holes, hehe. Everyone around...

    My pizza crust is gluten-free/cf/sf. I think it's pretty good, and my kids gobble it up. 2/3 c. All purpose gluten-free blend (i.e. Gluten Free Pantry, or a homemade blend like equal parts rice flour, tapioca, and cornstarch) 1/2 c. Tapioca Flour 2 tsp. xanthan gum 2 Tbsp. dry yeast granules 1/2 tsp salt 1 Tbsp. sugar 1 c. warm water 1...

    As of last fall, Target brand was safe as well, and it's also quite good.

    My favorite Mexican Rice is homemade, but it is SUPER easy, and just as fast as any mix. 4 c. uncooked Minute Rice 4 1/2 c. water 1 can corn, drained 1 can black beans, drained 2 packets gluten-free taco seasoning-- I use Old El Paso Put water and taco seasoning into a large pot, bring to boil. Add rice, corn, and beans. Stir, cover, and remove...

    Loving the funny news stories! I've got one for ya. You guys know I live in a very rural area. Well, about 10 years ago or so, we finally got an ATM in a nearby town. (Nearby, as in almost 30 minutes, but still the closest ATM by far.) It was so great, everyone was talking about how convenient it was to finally have an ATM. Ha, you're probably already laughing...

    You guys are cracking me up! I wanna be in the hot tub, too. I'll make margaritas! Lots of 'em! I'm a little drugged up right now, btw. The antibiotic I'm on makes me really nauseated, so I've been taking Phenergan to combat that... plus these funky cough medicine capsules the doc gave me. Which reminds me... Dad and I built bunk beds for the boys...

    Hehe, I have to admit, I never did have a problem LOOKING at the "menu." But this one was swoon-worthy. And NICE. And no ring. Can't help but be uplifted there... Sigh... I was thinking last night, how my feelings have evolved over the past three weeks. At first I was just so horribly shocked and wounded, I kept thinking, "I can't do this, I'll never...

    Here's a bit of silliness that occurred today. I finally decided to bite the bullet and go to the doctor. My dad and the boys have all caught this cold from me and are already getting better, while I'm still hacking up a lung. Turns out I have bronchitis, borderline pneumonia-- that's not the silly part. (Duh.) My immune system is probably in the toilet right...

    I love you guys. I'll continue to keep you updated... The dog situation may all come to nothing. He flip-flops on things a lot these days. Tomorrow he could very well have a completely different attitude. Today was bad all around. I spent 45 minutes arguing with him about giving me more time to move the rest of the boys' and my things. He was bound...
  24. Ridgewalker
    Well... today's insanity has begun. I just wrote a long, detailed post, and then deleted the whole thing- it's too depressing to put out there. Short version-- there's an issue with the dog. He knows perfectly well I can't have her here at my parents', and up till now has acted like he was fine with keeping her and taking care of her. He's suddenly flipped...
  25. Ridgewalker
    Thanks guys. Needed a little silliness, so I just popped in to read for a little bit. Reading backwards, cuz I can never remember where I left off... The hours that the kids are at school are a mixed blessing. It's good to have a little quiet time, but... I'm at loose ends. Anyhow... I'm chuckling along.
