    Emily, My heart sank when I saw the news on CBC. My thoughts have been with you and your family since. What a lucky girl you were to have him as a father. And how fortunate your kids were to have him as their grandpa. I can only imagine how many people in Canada (and around the world) will be saddened by hearing of your dad's passing but who will also...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    My husband and I are planning a possible Europe trip this summer. We're planning on hitting Prague, Vienna, Amsterdam, and possibly Brussels. Does anyone have experience traveling to these places and using the gluten-free dining card at restaurants? How did it turn out? I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing but I don't want to let celiac disease get...

    You might want to consider that the onset of puberty in guys is on average 12.5 years which would have been right around the time of your transition between grades 6 and 7. The onset of puberty and all of the crazy changing hormones during that time can trigger a whole bunch of things. Depression, anxiety, celiac disease, or whatever condition you may have...

    Hey there, I can't add much to the excellent information/advice you've gotten already but I just wanted to add that I also had a terrific gluten-free experience at Disney World. My husband and I went there this past summer -- we stayed on site and went with the dinning plan. We made all of our reservations in advance so every restaurant we went to already...

    Hi, Celiac disease definitely could have been effecting your sister's blood sugars. I was diagnosed with type I after celiac so I don't have much experience with undiagnosed celiac affecting blood sugars but whenever I am glutened my blood sugar gets pretty erratic. I would bet that once she has been on the gluten-free diet for awhile and her villi heal...

    Sarah, I just want to respectfully peak my head in and let you know I'm thinking about you and your two precious boys. I really wish I had some special knowledge to be able to give you some helpful advice. It sounds like others here have given you some good ideas -- especially about the legal aid. You and your little guys need an advocate to assure you...

    Very well said! I was attempting to come out of hiding when I happened upon (okay . . . willing looked against my better judgment) the thread which I believe caused your page stretching scream and I think I am outta here again. What's the point of contending with people who believe they are so smart that they somehow understand how a DEAD virus could make...

    Of course you can't disagree! Didn't you know that reading product endorsements and 250 word abstracts on the internet means you have a PhD in . . . um . . . everything! I feel like I'm asking for a warning . . . *scurries off * I understand that. Iron did nothing to slow things down for me when me villi were still healing . . . it just gave me...

    I hope the baking soda helped. If not we may have a bone to pick with St. John's Ambulance (does St. John's Ambulance even exist in the States? -- I'm thinking it might be a commonwealth thing.) I've been spending some time away from the forum to keep myself from posting what I really want to post to some of the non-Sillyville members. I think some of...

    Hey Patti, Ryan and I recently took CPR/First Aid since we sometimes look after his nieces and nephews and we are with our aging grandparents (and parents! ) quite often and so we wanted to be prepared for anything. Anyway, we learned that for bee stings it helps to put baking soda on the area because the bee venom stuff decreases the pH of the tissue...

    AGREED on the irritating people. I had a much longer post bemoaning my annoyance with so many non-Sillyville posts/posters lately but it was kind of crazily rambling and a little too angry I think so I quickly got rid of it. I'm pretty much the same with everyone else here on the whole organic issue. I occasionally buy organic things but certainly don...

    Happy birthday Peter! I hope you have a gluten-free, low sugar treat today!

    In lieu of my usual confetti for milestone posts, I made you a foot to kick the ex and the former MIL in the but, far away from your daughter. Ooooo (------) --\----l ---)---l ---(__)

    Shoot, I wanted to say safe and happy travels before you left! Well done on being able to fit in a run on such a harried, busy morning! Being the runner that you are I may need to pick your brain about IT band syndrome when you come back. I have been bothered by a snapping hip every time I take a step and annoying knee pain and thankfully the xray was clean...

    Uh oh! The thought police are after me . . . I hope no big men come and shove me in their trunk! Thank gawd for living in a country where you can publicly decry your leader and live to tell the tale! I'll definitely be telling my grandpa that one too! He'll love it! Have fun!!! The Hip -- I'm so jealous!!!

    I hadn't really known about it until yesterday when I saw the tragic news. They were doing such a great thing. To keep himself so healthy and active and then die like this is just terribly unfair. I can hardly even think about it without feeling sick. Seeing your parent dead is a hell no kid should have to go through but witnessing a traumatic death is beyond...

    oops, double post! Something weird happened while I was posting and everything froze! [

    That was good! I'll have to tell my grandpa that one. He'll get a kick out of it! Well done on the patriotic treatment and quick thinking while in that state -- I usually just sit down and cry! I'm also a hypoglycemic puker, so it may not have been such a beautifully patriotic moment for me! That's exciting that you're going down to Parliament...

    I don't think I can handle the responsibility of being the next Queen! I think I'd like to be a royal duchess -- a nice title with no responsibility. I'm so sorry Peter. The loss of a pet just makes the house seem so empty. I hope your other cats are helping to keep you two strong. Sick while traveling -- that's no fun at all Amanda. I hope...

    I'm really sorry. Are there any affordable day camps that you could send them to for a few weeks so you could have some down time and rest? When I was a teenager I worked for a program run by the city that held day camps at various local parks. I think it was 5 or 6 dollars a day per child. But that was not only in a different city but a different country...

    And Queen Victoria's first name was Alexandrina (I guess I'm one letter away from being named after a royal)! I don't know why she would go by Victoria when she could go by Alex! I'm thinking a unisex name would just not do for the Queen of England. Since Victoria BC was named for the Queen, I think I'd like to start a petition to rename it with her...
