    As a matter of fact, there is a nice Y about 20-25 minutes away. Not too bad! I'll definitely check out the costs and programs-- Thanks, ladies!!! PS-- Alex, I loooooooove your av!!!

    Omg, you have oil heat??? I SHUDDER to think how much that must cost in the winter. When I was in college, I lived in a big old house next to campus, and the oil bill was heinous!!! And that was split between 5 roommates, and it was almost 10 years ago. That was the house where Brian and I fell in love. The college has turned it into offices now. I...

    Aside from allergy and intolerance issues, is almond butter better for you than peanut butter? Don't almonds have healthier fats or something? I'm having a brain fog.

    PS- I passed on to Mom that you guys were sending your prayers and positive thoughts, and she asked me to tell you that she appreciates it SO MUCH!

    Well my kids (i.e. Ezra) played the Let's Destroy The House game again this morning! And I thought I could safely sleep in a little this summer. SIGH. Lucas got in trouble too, because he didn't come tell me. When it comes to his brother, I fully encourage Lucas to tattle. It's saved Ezra's life, more than once! (For real) Luke has had a little bit...

    Thanks, you guys! :wub: You are absolutely right, the waiting is ATROCIOUS! I just want the results to come, so we can begin to deal, and take of it, and work on fixing it! She's young, and she's always been so strong and tough. Waiting and not being able to DO anything is heinous. Jess!!! What's going on with your ferritin??? Your level is a...

    Hey everybody! Just pooping in so nobody thinks I died. Good stuff and bad stuff to report... End of school year stuff, several b-day parties,etc... Despite constant absences, Lucas passed 1st grade with flying colors, and Ezra's preschool teachers said he should do great in Kindergarten. I've got to get Ezra's graduation pic scanned so I can put it...

    Amanda, I'm so sorry you're going through this!!! I don't have any answers, but I do have a few random thoughts... John isn't taking Lyrica, is he? Because that stuff can have hideous side effects. I can tell you that the medication I take (Effexor) causes me to have very little interest in bedroom activities. sigh. Regularly choosing to go...

    I think they work on everything. WHAT?! Are you serious? I remember her! I always liked her posts. Speaking of dog fluids, Lilo went into heat today. SIGH.... She is not easy to deal with when she's in heat. Well, I guess no dog is. Ok... I've been avoiding asking about this, but WTH is up with the anal glands? I missed...

    Dear God, Susie!!! YOU should get some safety glasses too! Just in case!!!
  12. Ridgewalker
    Exactly!!! There are roads out here in the boonies that get repaved every year! It's a ridiculous waste of money. And the highways... Oh Lord... I-40, 77, 52... Constant, nonstop roadwork for years, over the same areas again and again. I know we have the highest gas tax in the southeast, by a long shot. Not sure about the rest of the country. You know...

    Oh I wish you guys could see them! First of all, she is gorgeous-- curly light brown hair, huge blue eyes, and her mom dresses her in kind of hippie boho clothes. They sit and talk, and arrange "dates." He understands her better than anyone, including her mom! When they left, he walked her to the car, holding hands. Updated my av!
  14. Ridgewalker
    Yup! Right now, I'm kind of wretchedly tried, and my thoughts about this weekend look something like this: But you're right-- it's totally in a good way! Omg, you're right! I need to get some safety glasses or something!
  15. Ridgewalker
    Yeah, and that's RALEIGH, the capital of NC. The rural areas, like where I live-- forget about it. NC is called "The Roadwork State," from the constant crews repairing and building new roads and highways... but the public transportation system is nearly nonexistent. And of course, everyone in the rural areas commute. There are no other options. My...

    Lordy, I'm tired! Been cleaning most of the day. A friend dropped by with her daughters. Her older daughter is 3 1/2, and Oh... mah... gah... She and Ezra have been in love since she was born, I swear. The cuteness that occurs when they're together is indescribable! Speaking of Ezra... he had the off of school, and we ran into a convenience store after...

    Don't forget to check toiletries and cosmetics, toothpaste, vitamins, medicines, etc. This usually involves calling the company or checking the website. Jen, I know you asked Kathy, but I thought I'd mention a couple things-- 1- blood tests for intolerances are few and far between. I know you can get tested for lactose intolerance. I think trial and...

    List of ingredients to watch out for in toiletries and cosmetics: Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour Colloidal Oatmeal Cyclodextrin Dextrin Dextrin Palmitate Hydrolyzed Malt Extract Hydrolyzed Oat Flour Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Hydrolyzed Wheat Flour Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/PVP Crosspolymer...

    Symptoms vary enormously between individuals. Symptoms can also change for for a person over the months and years. It's just about impossible to know what to expect until you've experienced it a couple times, and even then, again-- it can change. My symptoms when I get glutened go like this (they come in dragged-out phases. ) : Severe, crushing heartburn...

    :lol: Party at Andrea's house! She just doesn't know it yet! I'm sitting here, trying to think of something else to say... and I got nuthin'. I'm tired!
  21. Ridgewalker
    Ohhhh, poor baby! It's like she's been in a coma or something! Emily, I am SO SO SO glad you have her now!!! My best friend and I have agreed that when our husbands die, we're moving in together into a big old farmhouse, and rescue as many cats as we can. We'll be crazy cat ladies together. I spent ALL MORNING, literally, doing bills and figuring...

    Lefty! Lefty! Lefty! Ohhh how I love him, I wish I could have a cat!!!
  23. Ridgewalker
    Oh, Jess! I'm so sorry about your kitty!!! There's 2 3-acre lots for sale right next to us--- you should come snap it up right now!!! I'm constantly trying to get friends to come buy this land, because I have no money to do so myself!!! This really is a nice area to live in. Beautiful views, nice weather, and I know/have met every single...

    Ahhh, today was such a GOOD DAY!!! I'm gonna bore you guys with details, because I'm in a good mood. Played outside with the kids this morning and afternoon (Red Light-Green Light, Follow the Leader, Simon Says, etc...) Brian took Lucas to a minor league baseball game this evening. It was through a local reading program, and there were a bazillion...

    And why does my dog start barking as soon as I start talking on the phone? I can't even begin to think how you'd describe Lilo by mashing together breed names. I know she's got German Shepherd in her... I'm almost positive her mother was part Rottweiler... She has some Chow, because she has black blotches all over her tongue... and she's the strongest...
