    I simply MUST add this caveat: I'll clean my own, but I AIN'T GONNA CLEAN NOBODY ELSE'S!!! Cissie

    Oh dear God! I just read the spoon theory! How poignant, and true. Susan, I'm so jealous! I adore raspberry and cream, so I'm coveting that garment! About my husband, he's still living in the 1940s! I haven't yet been able to drag him, in proverbial kicking and screaming mode, into the 21st century. Imagine, as a faux finish artist, trying to be...

    Susan, I think you're on the Decor and Design Committee. I was just asking to join. I'll discuss my husband later, as I'm in the middle of fixing dinner now. Nikki, welcome to Rachelville! I have to give up my Aveda hair products, but I'm sure you can come up with a substitute. MUST have the hair done once a week! Thanks to all for the heads...

    Spoon theory??? Please explain. Cissie

    Celia, did you have something to eat that had MSG in it? That crap always gives me a migraine! But, thanks to Rachel, I know how to check labels for hidden MSG. No preventive meds have ever worked for me, because I don't have any warning signs like the zigzag, pulsating rainbow or the blind spot. Funny thing is, I've had those signs WITHOUT getting a...

    Snow is a MUST in Rachelville! We'll always have snow at Christmas, of course, but may we please have at least three other good snows instead of just one? I'll volunteer to have the geese and the dingoes herd the cows and goats up and down the roads until they're clear of snow. If I can leave the dogs in charge of the geese for a few hours, I want...

    I like wild seas, like off the coast of Maine. "Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll!" George Gordon, Lord Byron? Maybe not. Okay, we need rich farmland by the ocean, with mountains at our back to provide fresh spring water. Rachel will be President of Rachelville, and who did we elect Mayor? I'll accept the position of Minister of Defense...

    I very much doubt if the Amish would dislike your being Jewish, but I guess you're right about the violin. I belong to a different protestant church, not Amish or Mennonite, and I've worn a Star of David on a chain around my neck, next to my cross, for several years. I had the same fantasy, except I wanted to go alone. Sometimes "life is too much with...

    Oh, Donna, you poor deprived girl, I'm so sorry! If only you had lived in Memphis! We had a gracious plenty, enough to go around for sure! Cissie

    Those damn teenagers! How dare they!! Maybe we could add some geese to our farm to patrol the boundaries. They're so fierce and mean that our cows would be afraid to wander past them! Cissie

    Julie: AMEN AND AMEN!!!!! I was trying to come up with a way to express my thoughts, but, girl, you said it beautifully!!! A line from a poem keeps floating around in my brain, but I can't for the life of me remember the title of the poem. The line describes Rachel and all the rest of you courageous, never-give-up folks: "...to strive, to seek, to find...

    Put me in, coach! (arm waving wildly) I can milk a cow!!! Willing to try a goat! Where will our farm be? Patti and Susan, I live in Lilburn. Patti, go to msgmyth.com. I got that from Rachel. Susan, damn right! Nothing sexier than a man in a kilt! Oh, and my dentist is in Decatur. Social Circle is a charming town. Until we found...

    Gosh, Susan, I'm glad you aren't offended! I live outside Atlanta, near Stone Mountain. Only one of my six children still lives in Georgia, in Coweta County. She belongs to an Elvis fan club, and makes the pilgrimage to Graceland every August. I saw Elvis in a concert in Atlanta many years ago. My parents lived in Whitehaven, not very far from Graceland...

    Can it be true? I'm actually caught up on this string? I'll try to be brief. evia: Congratulations to you and your husband on your 60th! Good show! Water: I used to drink Crystal Springs, until it began to taste of metal. Switched to Aquafina, but will now start buying Poland Springs. I use bottled water in cooking as well. I'll contact...

    Celia, I'm a bit confused. Do you have a new avatar that I'm not seeing? The one I see is the one where you're holding the baby, but that's the one I've always seen. Cissie

    How wonderful to be able to speak Greek! And being able to type it on your computer is awesome!!! Donna, I googled Medical Terms/Ampulla of Vater, clicked on the first reference, and found out that Vater is a man's name. He may or may not have been the first to describe "the anatomy of the ampullary termination of the bile and pancreatic ducts." It...

    DONNA, hold on a minute! My brain is fuzzy today, so my long-term memory isn't functioning well. Aqua is Latin for water, not vater. Now I'm wondering if vater may be Greek, which I never studied. I'm going to do some research online. I know that Wasser (The W is pronounced V.) is German for water, and Vater (V pronounced F) is German for father...

    Bright red blood means one thing; dark red blood means another. The shooting pains could be muscle spasms, or they could be a signal that something is very wrong! CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!! Cissie
  20. Camille'sBigSister
    Donna, I think Ampulla of Vater is just Latin for Ampule of Water. Do you suppose you could find out more about it if you used the English words? Rachel, what your obgyn saw on your ultrasound is bizarre!!! Could you feel your intestines jumping around, or did they feel like they always do - rotten? When you go back to your GI doctor, could you...

    I've been following this string almost from the beginning. I didn't check it after about 2:30 PM yesterday, so when I checked in this afternoon it had gone from page 101 to page 112!!! I'm so dizzy! I'm crashing this slumber party! It's the absolute BEST!!! You all are so smart and witty and caring and loving! Hugs and kisses to all! About...

    I thought I was answering you, Carol, but that post disappeared into the ether. Apparently I still have a few kinks (in my brain ) to work out, when I'm trying to reply to more than one post on a string. What I was trying to say was that I found a company, PurFoods, online. They deliver gluten-free meals, and will list all ingredients in a meal if...

    How does one find a personal chef? I love the idea!!! Cissie

    Good morning, girls! I don't know if my story will be of any help, but it might give someone an idea for further investigation. I'm 73, and have been on HRT for a number of years. I take Estradiol, which my gyn orders for me from a compound pharmacy. A couple of years ago I was concerned because my energy level was going downhill, so I started...

    Hi, Patti! Thanks for the info. It sounds simple enough to do. I'll try it when I have time. Cissie
