    I read this one when I went to Temple with my friend: Pray as if the world depended on God. Act as if the world depended on you.

    They actually MAKE floating targets for boys!! Seriously. They are bust-a-gut funny, but I've heard they work . . . . .

    Lisa --- Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry to hear about this. I was just there a few weeks ago, and it's AWFUL. Just remember, regardless of her physical state, she can still hear you . . . and she can still process how much you love her. When you talk with her, and you tell her that you love her, she hears you and she knows. I'm so sorry that you're...

    Luckily, this was the second neurologist that I went to -- to placate my sister!! It was when she was convinced that I had "conversion disorder". That is a concept that was developed by Freud, and is considered to be a rediculous phenomenon by mental healthcare professionals. My sister is an insurance adjuster -- thought maybe because it is in her "book...

    It was bound to happen eventually, but I got fired by a doctor -- my neurologist! While I want to say that it was my own "fault", I'm not too sure that's the case. I CERTAINLY think I was provoked! I went in for my every three month test your reflexes -- they're getting worse -- test your muscle strength -- it's fine -- "I don't know why that's happening...

    I bought my kids regular underwear -- but the fun stuff: Papa Smurf for Brandon, Minnie Mouse for Ashley. My caveat to them: "You don't want to pee-pee on . . . . . . " Plus, wet underwear are NOT comfortable. They didn't like having them wet! The other thing that I did -- we bought an M & M's machine, and put it on a shelf in the bathroom....

    It sounds WONDERFUL!!!! I hope you're having such a good time. Glad that food hasn't been an issue so far. Pretty amazing that they use less flour in those countries as filler than the US -- bet they have a lot less Celiac, too!! Keep us posted -- I am so happy for you! Take care . . . . . Love, Lynne

    Lisa -- Thanks for GREAT advice! I'm going to use that . . . . . Graduation from high school was hard for me with both of mine. My son is my OLDEST, my daughter is my YOUNGEST. I bawled my eyes out. Of course, I cried at the onset of Pre-school, Kindergarten, Middle School, High School . . . . . and when my daughter got married last year -- OH MY!...

    You know you're having a bad day when your dog has the big D, you are talking on the phone to Metta when you discover it, you wash her -- twice, because she has it while you're washing her, then the mailman comes and you answer the door in your husband's wet, poopy Sponge-Bob Square Pants pajama bottoms and a T-shirt!!! Karen -- gotta love Rhiannon...

    I loved the Panasonic set we had at the office -- it was great. We have a vtech that I bought about 8 months ago -- with the three handsets -- and two out of the three already have batteries that have burned out. We're actually good "battery people", too Seriously, we do all the right things -- even though with the NiMH batteries they aren't supposed...

    Rachel -- I'm so sorry I missed your birthday. I hope it was a GREAT one!! (((((((hugs))))))) Lynne

    I have to take a bunch of medicine, along with massive amounts of vitamins (B1, B2, B6, CoQ10 twice a day; multi & B12 injection once a day). It gets really hard to balance them out. I take my synthroid first thing when I get up. I keep a bottle of water on my nightstand and the synthroid is the only thing I take then -- because I figure if you have...

    I'm telling you -- it's getting close. People are going nutso left and right. It's only getting worse as it gets closer to the blue moon.

    As far back as 1968 there are published articles with regard to Gluten Ataxia. The medical community dismissed this as rediculous. Six years ago, Dr. Hadjivassiliou began taking up where they left off using more state of the art technology. Again, he was written off as being rediculous. Last year, FIVE YEARS AFTER HIS INITIAL STUDY, when he proved conclusively...

    Uhmmmmmmmm. . . . . . .. . . . . . . you are the right age. Are you sure you have told us everything about "what you do"?????!!!!!

    I am VERY sorry you were diagnosed with ALS. Do you have any family members who have also had this disease? It is absolutely genetic. I would also ask to be re-tested. I have had cerebellar damage (fairly extensive) from Celiac. In fact, I am a "Neurological Celiac", or sometimes labeled a "silent Celiac" because the ONLY indication that I had with...

    OMG -- When I heard Karen say that to Connor, I could not control my laughter! "Mr. Florida"!! I told her that it was no wonder Canucks have such a bad image of the South!!!!!!!!! That was one of the funniest things I've heard this year! Plus, if you put it in the context of how our phone conversations go, it makes it even funnier!!!!!

    Mine is pretty self-explanatory! When I joined, I had seen SO many physicians. Not much has changed, I guess. With the exception that I finally gave one of neurologists a piece of my mind. Felt great. I received a notification of a certified letter from them shortly after that. I figure he's trying to "fire" me, so I didn't pick it up. If I pay him...

    Happy Birthday Nikki!! Hope you have a fantastic time -- and hope you celebrate all weekend. Love & Hugs, Lynne

    Patti: My little Destiny and my protector Lucky are the same way. Destiny gives me this look that says, "Are you talking to ME????" Susie -- I'm so glad everything is okay. Destiny had a stroke YEARS ago when she went on a hunger strike. I was feeding her table food, and the vet said to switch to dog food. She turned her nose up to it for days...

    Beverly, you are SOOOOOOOO intelligent. Get real. You can banter with the best of them. Your husband has a VERY worthy opponent when it comes to verbal give and take!! xoxoxoxoxo Lynne

    Hi Lins -- Welcome to the board! We were all in the same boat you are in at one time. It's confusing (to say the least), very frustrating and sometimes pretty scary. You have found the BEST place to find information and the most kind, caring people you will ever meet. Seriously. I started on the board two years ago, decided to go gluten-free two and...

    Dupuytren's Contracture is actually hereditary . . . . funny that Celiac is, also. My father has Dupuytren's . . . . he has had surgery three times on one hand, twice on the other. His hands are a train wreck. He also has it on the soles of his feet . . . that started about 10-15 years ago. He's 70. I started with Dupuytren's a few years ago . ....

    Ian, you rock!! I had no idea you were an engineer. My husband is a naval architect (aka: draws boats -- oops, excuse me -- designs barges and vessels) but it's an engineering degree. He's an engineering manager at JeffBoat. The big joke in my profession is that PT's usually either marry other PT's or engineers. It's because we're the only ones that...
