  1. Oh, and here's the rub I didn't mention . . . the aisle at the church???? too narrow for my wheelchair . . . .
  2. I am telling you what . . . sometimes I think I have a dark cloud over my Medical conditions! I am so bummed . . . for those of you who don't know, I had another bad fall last week in my back yard. This one sent me to the ER. I knew something was wrong. I never cry when I fall, because I have this weird "don't feel pain the right way" thing. I INSTANTLY...
  3. Debbie -- with all you have been through, all I can say is Hallelujah!! I am so happy for you my heart is light. You must feel as though a HUGE boulder has been lifted off your shoulders. Please do something for YOU to celebrate!!!! Love, Lynne
  4. Hi all in Rachelville -- I'm still here in Brideville and probably will be until after Saturday. I miss you guys terribly . . . . I feel like my entire support has deflated since not being able to be "in the trenches" so to speak, with you. Got good news . . . Ash DOES want me to give her away at the alter!!! I am so excited about that . . . long, long...
  5. ' Some of your statements seem to be very "telling". I'm a physical therapist, and I have treated a lot of children who seem to be like your daughter. First, your inability to soothe her has NOTHING to do with you, and EVERYTHING to do with her nervous system. My guess would be that your daughter has sensory integration difficulties . . . particularly...
  6. I have gotten so much GREAT advice and/or information from the people on this forum for the past year that I can't even BEGIN to say what is the best . . . . The people I have met, the friends I have made -- they have been a Godsend. I can honestly say that I don't know what I would have done without them . . . and don't know what I would do without them...
  7. I s'pose y'all aren't talkin 'bout when you see your grandbabies and you tell 'em "now come over here and gimme some suga??" Also -- y'all can't be southern unless you've had chicken-fried steak with milk gravy and sopped it up with skillet cornbread!!!!!!!! All these southernisms are reminding me of my childhood!! My aunt had a boyfriend who lived out...
  8. Have the guest book & the table placement was set with the catering manager yesterday. Chelsea -- waiting to see what Ashley's decision is going to be . . . I talked with her pastor last week, told her WHY it was important to me to be in the front to give her away. I told her that I DIDN'T want to stand at the Unity candle while everyone was coming...
  9. Celia, I'm so sorry that happened . . . . I agree, flush that stuff out of you. Don't kick yourself too much, though. It was a mistake, and things like that happen. Sounds like you're down on yourself, and sometimes mistakes just happen. Take care of you, Lynne
  10. Cindy, I realize that you are reluctant to contact the media without "backing" from some type of organization. This is the first time I have read your thread . . . . my chest is tight, I can feel my jaw muscles clenching, and I don't know whether to scream or cry, quite frankly. Someone said this earlier, I think Carla . . . you HEAR of these things happening...
  11. Will have to look in my pantry to give more brands . . . What I have come across, more often than not, is that the companies will take responsibility for their PRODUCT -- that they don't add anything that contains gluten. What they won't take responsibility for is checking from their suppliers if THEY have any gluten-containing ingredients in what they are...
  12. Good morning, y'all . . . Gettin' ready for another day in Brideville . . . . the wedding (I think) is going to be so nice . . . but, doing this on a limited budget --means that I am making SO MUCH of the stuff. Today's menu: Card Box (have to pad with quilt batting --have material that was on Ashley's Madrigal Costume -- it's gorgeous -- can't think of...
  13. Robbin -- it has gotten remarkably larger. Wonder if they knew about Rachelville and the altoids parade??? Haven't heard of the gommy mess, but my mother was the resident expert on cyclones . . . as in "your room looks like a cyclone hit it" . . . . living in Kentucky, I DON'T think she ever experienced one, but she sure knew what the aftermath looked...
  14. Karen -- don't know if you guys have this commercial up there yet or if you've seen it . . . these kids are AWESTRUCK . . . this GIGANTIC Oscar Meyer Weinermobile is backing out of the driveway!!!!! The first time I saw it was right after the float idea . . . . and I laughed so hard I about peed my pants!!!!!
  15. Lisa -- doesn't matter where you were born, it matters where you spent most of your LIFE. You're southern. I'll gar-on-tee it!!! Have said the "sweatin'" thing for as long as I can remember . . . "white on rice" . . . say it just bout every other day . . . cow . . yep . . . also say "chaps my a**" . . . don't know if you say that one . . . Speaking...
  16. Hey Lisa . . . you premature posted . . . . I had already volunteered to help shuck . . . uh huh . . . see???? Getting a little "key happy" are we???? So glad about little Megan . . . prayers that she will be able to come home soon . . . healthy. Can do other things, but will save the additional volunteering to disperse in increments . . . don...
  17. That is fascinating . . . I didn't know that!! You could have a smorgasbord of color!!!!! Will definitely plant hydrangeas next year!!! Stupid freesias . . . I am so hacked. You won't believe this . . . the catapillars are GONE. My BIL is a genius . . . he knows so much about --well, everything! Was going to take a picture, because my DH said that...
  18. Hallelujah to the corn!!! Have shucked WAY too much corn in my life . . . and it is DEFINITELY a southern thing!!! Will volunteer to help shuck . . . . Susie -- little Destiny took a 3/4 lb. Girardelli dark chocolate bar off the coffee table one night . . . we couldn't find her . . . Brandon said, "WHERE did Destiny go???" We finally found her -...
  19. Oh my . . . . things have been quite busy in Rachelville since this morning!!!! I don't know the joke behind the ice cream . . . but Dave brought home the ingredients for Blueberry Ice Cream (my favorite) and had that . . . if it's a I haven't caught, like the cops are men, then, well, BOHICA Don't have much to say, except Nikki -- YOU should...
  20. Susie -- Hey -- given that this thing could have gone to my brainstem if not caught in time, I know that I'm lucky to be alive. Seriously. Every day is a gift, and I am soooooo grateful for that. With that in mind, who COULDN'T keep their sense of humor, eh???? (had to say eh . . . Karen taught me it, and I'm using it whenever I can!!!) Love, Lynnie...
  21. Wet mud, a wet tobacco paste, or a meat tenderizer paste. With meat tenderizer, the papain enzyme tends to destroy the poison. Watch the one that turned purple . . . my son (for whatever reason) gets cellulitis with EVERY sting he gets . . . but the purple ones . . . INSTANT infection. (sorry to be a bummer). Hope they're feeling MUCH better. (Benadryl...
  22. Cecile - - - I do the same thing (or did) - - - have your vitamin K levels checked, your B12 levels checked, don't know what else they checked that was down but I'll look . . . . turns out that I have a "form" of Von Willebrand's disease, which, from what I've read, is common with celiacs. Something about Vitamin K metabolism in the body and the ability...
  23. Ya know . . . . as a "non-gastro" celiac, I'm very happy for you guys when you gain weight . . . . but it takes most of the sympathy/empathy I can muster to be happy for you rather than to be so envious I can't STAND IT. I have gained 100# since all this stuff started 3 years ago . . . 100 lbs. -- THAT IS A WHOLE PERSON. I was lean, in fantastic shape ...
  24. I love you so much, my friend!!!!! I wonder if I could talk Churchill Downs into letting me display it with an Altoids tin in the Derby Museum . . . it truly IS a fine piece of craftsmanship with the modifications. Although . . . then they might get jealous, and tell CNN about Rachelville . . . better not let them know. Yes, that's definitely BEST!!!!...
  25. ROFLMAO Okay, so we got it now!!!!! Thanks for 'splainin, Lisa!!!!! As Straight as Burt Reynolds and his moustache!!!!!!! You are bust-a-gut funny! I am going to have to limit the amount of time I spend on this thread . . . . my stomach hurts so badly from laughing these last two nights!!!! Also, wish you hadn't forgotten what you were...
