ARCHIVED The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original
flourgirl replied to TriticusToxicum's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I see that several of you are getting snow. You can have MY share, too!!!! We moved to West Virginia to get away from the bitter cold and snow of upstate New York (The Adirondack mountains). Somehow the winter found us and followed us here...it's unseasonabley cold lately. Today is warmer and rain is predicted. I like rain.....I don't have to shovel... -

(chime in time) HAPPY B'DAY SOOOZEEEEE!!!! ) Was a time I wouldn't let people give me nicknames.....seemed like they all wanted to call me Terry. I used to say (with a pout ) "That's not my name". Anyway, I've collected several nicknames over the years; they stick like burdocks; Ted, Ranger Ted, Trees, Florence Nightingale (thank God that... -

Ooops! Leeeessssaaaa, (and all you other psillies); I didn't mean to hog all of the fun with the lyrics, but it was just......just......just so much fuunnnn!!! NO reason it has to stop with 12. I thought this place was for outside reason and logic. I hope so anyway. Sorry you are having meltdown today, too, Leesa. Maybe it's cosmic. Maybe it's... -

ARCHIVED Painful And Difficult Swallowing
flourgirl replied to mamabear's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've also had a great deal of trouble with a tight throat and difficulty in swallowing. I don't eat several foods anymore because it's just too hard to get down. I've complained to doctors for several years and I pretty much get brushed off. My current doc thought it was nerves because I'd been so desperately ill. I can't stand to have anything near my... -
ARCHIVED New Here And Having A Difficult Time Coping
flourgirl replied to Bluedaize's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Michelle and welcome! I think you'll find that you've come to a great place, this site has helped me tremendously. I'm sorry to hear about all of your trials and tribulations. Many of us here can relate. I can only tell you that for each of us, the healing process was different. Some find relief right away, some takes months to years. You'll make... -

Dewey, Cheatum and Howe? Yes, everything old is new again! Just like all of the clothes we used to wear that have come back as "new styles" but now they call it retro. Peeeeterrrrr.....I LOVE cats. Until a couple of years ago, I've always had cats...multiple. My favorite as a long hair yellow tiger who thought he was truly my child, sometimes thought... -
ARCHIVED Forum Maintenance Completed
flourgirl replied to Scott Adams's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
I second the withdrawal! So glad to have you back. I missed everyone . Even knowing you were down, I kept checking throughout the day. Thanks for the site, the comraderie, the one place I can talk about whatever it is I need to talk about and get answers that I get nowhere else! -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Have Sugar Cravings?
flourgirl replied to whitball's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Me, too. I crave sweets, and am still giving in daily. I think if I gave up sweets, my weight will drop again. As it is I'm managing to maintain a fairly steady weight. I had started taking probiotics a while ago thinking it might help. I think it has....and from what I'm reading I guess I ought to behave and leave the garbage stuff alone. -

GO BACK? GOOOOO BAAAAACK??? No! I won't go! I can't go, I don't have time! You can't make me (but you tempt me, you do). I'm not even supposed to be here now! (maybe I'll peek back there tomorrow, though). I just wanted to make a brief stop. See y'all later. -
ARCHIVED It Can Always Be Worse
flourgirl replied to henny's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hey Henny.....so sorry to hear about your friend. I've known someone who had this, too. It's a terrible thing. Good news is she did get much better and has gone on with life. You are right about one thing.....you never have to look very far to find someone much, much worse off. Even knowing this I still have those moments....petty little pity parties... -

Hi all! I must say I need to develop better resistance against being sucked up into the "vortex" of the sillyack post! I went back to search for the beginnings of Weenis Colony......I've come to the opinion that this posting no longer has a beginning and probably has no end. I'm subseqently developing a ritual of focusing on a page (can you say ooooohhhhhmmmmmm... -
ARCHIVED Where Do You Shop For Groceries?
flourgirl replied to clnewberry1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi there. I still consider myself to be fairly new at all of this, too, and it'a already been a year since my diagnosis! Anyway, the Walmart here does not carry gluten-free labeled products. For a while I was going to a health food store for someof the flours, which I still need to do now and again. I don't buy anything else there anymore because of the... -

I did read back a ways (started with the first 50 pages before I started jumping around). Wondered what you'd come up with! Thanks, I'm starting to feel more at home already! Patti, I hope your cold passes quickly. We've had lots of sneezing here but it doesn't seem to develope into anything. Maybe we're too miserable already......inspiring great... -

Don't know much about building pools....but I did build a pond last year. Great for the birdies! Y'all are welcome to sit and sip and watch birds.....maybe when it gets warm again. I'm cold except in the warmest of temps! Thanks for the welcome. Am looking forward to reading more. Right now I better get my butt busy doing something besides playing... -

ARCHIVED Can't Even Enjoy Thanksgiving- Staying Home
flourgirl replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Jason! I, too, stopped hoping for a post from you about your Tbird Day. Am seriously hoping that you decided to just enjoy what you can and not worry about the rest! Did you have a decent day? Please drop a note here...I know there are many who care, even if they don't write in. Hope things are looking up for you soon. -
ARCHIVED A Joke For Everyone!
flourgirl replied to darlindeb25's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Loved it! I will forward that one on. It does seem strange that you are asked the same info over and over....do they not communicate with one another, or read the notes? Bet we all can identify! -
ARCHIVED Can't Even Enjoy Thanksgiving- Staying Home
flourgirl replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Any day is what you make it, and I'm sure no one there would consider you to be the odd man out...except yourself. We are not going out, either. What we decided was to invite some friends here, so that I can control the food. There will be foods that I can't eat and that's fine. For me it's not about the food. It's friendship, love and celebrating all... -
Hi! Been a while since I've chimed in. I had to switch to Kosher salt...or any salt not iodized. You should also be aware that some anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen can cause a flare up. With me, both of these cause major rashed, and they last for weeks. Same with accidental glutening. I, too, don't want to take meds if I can avoid it. There is a...
