How 'bout Tony Bennett? Since the Greatest Singer of all Time, F. Sinatra, is no longer with us, Tony would do...for the romantic, wedding feel. He could belt out some standards.... Susie, I often find myself wondering this. Everyone who's coming to the Mt. Tremblant chalet, best to bring a laptop, and if we're sitting around the crackling... -

OMG......a mad, wondrous time!!! This would be so fantastic. The hot tub fits ten....!!! Well, now...an admission of a performance-enhancing substance. We'll have to take this to the Commissioner's Office for a ruling.... Mammograms are HEINOUS...What is most horrid about these tests, particularly the pap smear, is how my doctor... -

Okay, Susie's in!! Are you as poor a downhiller as I am? (I am prepared to be very embarrassed...I'll be the only one who cannot go swooping rhythmically down these perilous hills). Think Bridget Jones....screaming her way down... ....I think it was my dad...... Damn him...up to his ol' tricks....... -

Those commutes are terrifying...we have a few each winter here in Ottawa, and most people (i.e., the feds) stay home. The school buses are cancelled, so lots of kids do, too. You may be busy at the hospital with accident victims!....Gosh, hope not.... I'm SO excited.... We've booked a HUGE, rustic, lovely chalet/condo for our skiing/falling trip in... -

Good morning, Sillies..... Yes, yes!! I did not mention this yesterday...HOW EXCITING, ALEX!! I smell a parade.... We must all get a handle on this high-risk behavior.... Yes, please do, Amanda! This sounds like a good thing. I'm missing you already in the wee morning hours! I think my grand total... -

This sounds like something Richard would attempt....what with his amazing photo pimpery. It is a call for help. You sure it isn't a likeness of Bob Goulet? Iambic pentametre......Hmmmmmmmm.....

...And what about the ones that require some work for exit? Surely they are not elongated ellipticals. I am picturing trapezoids. OMG..... I do hope not. Maybe the effigy on Bev's arse was a sign from Sarah, a willed visual message of some sort....What could she be wanting to tell us? And why in such a curious fashion??..... ... -

OMG.... ...And here I used to draw horsies and Snoopy and Betty and Veronica... What did they look like, Susie? Are you kidding? The best stories evah....and always beautifully put.... Whoa!!

MORNING, ALL! ...Okay, I have been up since 6, and I am still at zero count. Both kids have tested negative, and we all know what negatives mean....nothing. DS, 11, went gluten-free three months ago, wanting to see if his concentration and anger would come under control. The changes with him have been dramatic, and he now gets cramps... -

YOU FART FOR ENGLAND, NIKKI!! Do it for your brethren! Now, we'll have to make a judgement, here: Is Nikki's "fibre powder" considered a banned substance in this event set for tomorrow? I say, let her in, and let 'er rip..... ....Hey....what does the winner get? A gold medal? A Sillyville Knighthood? WHO is the winner? The participant with the highest... -

Susan of the Herucean Sphincter... "Sphincter" is a funny enough word without all our hilarity around it... Won't be able to get a decent flowchart going before early tomorrow morning, so the Fart Chart is out. Perhaps we can graph the results afterward. Could be an interesting visual study...a comparison of flatulent episodes... -

This is why I am certain it is truly an intestinal illness (celiac, of course), as he has such quantity, of such HEINOSITY, and with absolutely no control over it all. He claims they just happen. I have, by the way, Susie, mentioned your astonishing, award-winning sphincter to him, and how it is possible to reach such heights of excellence. I have mentioned... -

Boy, got that right....Or a cabbie....and as his episodic outbursts are incredibly loud (waking me up in the night), many other professions would be a no-go...radio/TV broadcaster, tour guide, librarian... I suspected that he was celiac as soon as I was diagnosed and learned about it all...then last year his brother was diagnosed (Surprise!). So, Will... -

You must come here, Nikki...we are in some respects a niave, young, bass-ackwards country, but we have the most incredible outdoor winter sports facilities (free, yet!), and superb waste pick-up service. I must admit, though... -

So, Patti........how's it going? How many flushes?...Waiting with bated breath... Speaking of counting things, an article in our local paper yesterday was discussing flatulence (brief mention of celiac...at least it was there!), and stated that a properly-fuctioning digestive system allows for 10-18 farts per day, regardless of gender. My DH (undiagnosed... -

Ahhhhhh, the weekend....... It's currently Hannah Montana in this house, which even my DS seems to like. I, also, found Red Dwarf very entertaining. It hasn't been on over here for many years...

Oh, Your Royal Silly Highness... I bow to your admirable example of great conservatory conduct... Howevah....I jus' plain cannot leave any of my own waste, liquid or other, to sit in that bowl. You don't flush "until necessary".....When is that, approximately? Three pees? A couple of pees and two poops? Several of each? Shhhhuddddddderrrrrrrr...... -

OMG....Celiac Settings.... ...and a Celiac Siren..... I think, actually, that all domestic toilets should have a switch to hit....one side "regular bowel activity" (RBA), and the other side "celiac activity" (CA), so that water could be conserved while in the CA mode (more flushing, for sure). Now, I'm afraid we're back on the toilet subject, and... -

This would be truly HILARIOUS...I shall ask my DH if he would like to go out, once, to dinner or a party in exactly the same clothing. Jumpsuits would be the zenith, the final touch of hilarity....I must keep my eye out at the Sally Anne.... I have never received any type of lingeree, kitschy or decent, from DH. A Kitchenaid mixer, yes. Braun... -

Morrrrrning, Sillies! Hey, Amanda! I see you! I was thinking just these things...Oracle Peter, in his magic way, sensed that I needed to participate in a thread started by a newly-diagnosed type one and celiac who was sounding completely overwhelmed, so he guided me to said thread (Right Said Thread?... ).. and I posted about how much easier... -

Man, do I hear you on this one....don't we all have a friend like this? (Those of us who aren't zeroes...) I certainly do...in fact TWO thin, leggy, hair-swinging, perky-breasted friends whom I love dearly but just cannot stand... I literally disappear, like a trompe d'oeil, in their presence.

ARCHIVED Celiac And Now Just Dx. W/diabetes
elye replied to JustJust's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello, Justine! Peter has written a terrific post, and I have very little to add. The gluten-free diet complements the diabetic diet incredibly well--in fact, it really helps keep blood sugars under control. I have had tight bs control for years, but I was quite amazed at how much tighter it became once I got off gluten. I've been a type one for...
