  1. Interesting, but I would suspect either dehydration or gluten also.....I lifted weights (excessively and intensely ) for 20 years, and was a very serious technical rock climber, and never had anything like that. Intestinal problems, for me, didn't start until the last 4 - 5 years, and I'd given up climbing and strenuous weights by then......
  2. OH Susie....I am so sorry about this and your other miscarriages. One of my best friend's cousins just had her second miscarriage last week, and her grief is so huge that she's not leaving the house. I pray your pain will be eased.....and you will get the wonderful little baby you are meant to have. Many blessings to you. xoxo
  3. RACHEL! you silly. I am pretty sure that Starbucks would *not* sell any product containing the word (or any part of) CRAP. ......or WOULD they????
  4. crappacino? is that a typo, or is that what you call them? just a poop-in, folks. I am not REMOTELY caught up! in other news....... I have a hangover that would kill a lesser human, or small farm animal, I am pretty sure. I don't know what happened last night but I do think it had to do with hardly eating anything yesterday and being dehydrated...
  5. ahem, may I PROUDLY say, I never owned, nor wore a pair, of legwarmers. However. Did own and wear Dittos (7th grade) and Jordache (early high school) jeans. also - now this is the worst of all, folks - did own and briefly wear a pair of clear plastic slides. Heinous. and in other news: presently am wearing gym...
  6. Lisa - I have taken both Fosamax and Actonel and both are gluten-free. My only concern, and this was pointed out to me by Ursula, is that w/ Fosamax there has been a side affect - very rare, but still - of necrosis of the jaw. So I switched to Actonel, but I'm embarassed to tell you taht I haven't even read the tiny, tiny print on the insert...
  7. Here you go Lurve, the definition for DEFCON. Defcon 5 is the usual state of readiness for launch in the US.....but Defcon ONE is in the shoot (chute?) READY TO LAUNCH......a state of imminent urgency: Open Original Shared Link more later......but FYI successful launch earlier this am.....Susie is pleased.
  8. susie wonders if DRINKING some boracic acid would make her look less fat....... I'm thinking yes? that is funny, and reminds me, I am on a HUGGING basis with two of the employees at my Trader Joe's, and an extreme chatting basis with teh manager. I am in there about three times a week, and I have proposed the idea of operating a dating...
  9. Oh Pshaw, 'twould not, 'tis only the head. Here, good old Honest Abe (President Abe Lincoln, that is). OMG - - cannot at this moment even RECALL what IS on the tail's side! used to be......some sort of flaura - wheat staffs? laurel? and now....it's a building......but I don't even know what!!!!!!!!!!! Would have to look at said wicked and...
  10. extremely fantastic Now how, pray, could I know??? but how fantastic..... and there is NIkki, speaking cockney, which makes me out of my MIND..... (she said "fing") I have told my real-life friends, we have this cheeky and adorable Brit on our forum, and I swear you can hear her accent when she writes......pleases me enormously...
  11. OMG I just POOPED in and found this, truer words have never been spoken, Kat. :lol: I spent EIGHT HOURS (and drove two to get there) of arduous work in a hot (90 + degrees) warehouse to get my two Restoration Hardware down-stuffed linen couches (heaven, I am telling you) at their annual sale. One couch was $300 (had a leg missing) and out of...
  12. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh utter hilarity on the Silly thread!!! Susie likes it!!!!! Bev - your uncle. Nikki - - - lunatic as always. EMILY!! OMG there IS no catching up to do. This wacky thread has no plot, rhyme, or reason. It's a whole thread about nothing. We are like the naughty stepchildren of c.com, and all we do is insert a nutty...
  13. Yes Nikki, the very same. scared.....hold me.......... :lol
  14. Oh my Looooooooooooooooord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been SHUT OUT from the universe for the better part of three days, stupid @#*&%!! AT&T, internet power down in all western states, I have been on the phone with three times.........arghhhhhhhhhhhh...... so I'm just sending up a smoke signal to say halooooooooooooo, I am alive...
  15. Creepy. You silly mango, that is hardly the word I would use to describe you. Lurk away.
  16. utterly flummoxed by this whole thing. I don't write long enough any more to lose a post..... ho-hum, ACTUAL sore throat and stiff neck today, ACTUALLY lying on the couch for something other than my back, I am astounded (I"m not a napper and don't ever lie down during the day, except for the back debacle)......have not been sick ONCE in 18 months...
  17. Yay! Yay! Happiness in Rachelville, I am feeling so warm and fuzzy! And yes, thanks to our darling Mia for her simple but most effective little post to force our president to come BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG prayers for Laura......and Judy, so glad to hear you're all in one piece....and Mia, the chelation went better this time.......
  18. Welcome, Amber. TTG is an antibody manufactured to attack gluten (in case you didn't know). In "normal" people the number will measure from zero to less than 10, I believe. Thirty is definitely a sign of Celiac..... When mine was measured.....oh, I was so, so sick. My TTG measured "greater than 100" and they STOP counting after 100....so who...
  19. Well HALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sillies!!!! good ones. here's a funny: UPS Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one. Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in our jobs. After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics...
  20. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: GO Bevvy-wev!!!!!! She said Goosey.
  21. Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! (raising hand and waving excitedly) Yay! Nice to see people! RACHEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whooooo - ahhhhhhh!!!! okay no time to write but WHAT?????? someone attacked our Patti? Well now WHAT is the world coming to???????? that doesn't make sense at all......guess I missed it because had...
  22. Julie - thanks for that helpful sheet. You know, I went to a new dentist (my dentist in Monterey DIED ) in this town. I mentioned that I had Celiac, that there was lots of gum recession and erosion of enamel, etc. He looked blankly at me - said "please refesh me, what is Celiac?" and I explained it. He was very nice about it, but didn't seem to...
  23. OH! Judy! is tomorrow the day? I put my Phosphsoda in Welch's white grape juice.....and I must tell you, I can never, EVER, drink that grape juice again......I think I would barf. Because the stuff you put in it makes it taste SO terrible. So that particular beverage is reserved only for colonoscopies now.
  24. So sorry you're having such a rough time. I am going to PROMISE you this - - it gets SO MUCH BETTER. And it takes time, and lots of research, trial and error. Unfortunately, this is a disease that demands very much of the patient for recovery. It's a pisser. But WELL worth it in the end. DO NOT waste your money on a dietitian! They seriously...
