Count me in! Rachelville sounds like a great place!!!!!! :lol: In the land of the Misfit Toys, my personal favorite is Herbie, the wannabe Dentist. Although the water gun that squirts grape jelly is pretty good, as is the Charlie in the Box. . . . . .

So, Susan tells me to read starting at page 164 . . . . there are a WHOLE lot of posts since page 164!!!!! But I will be Rachelville's official PT, and when everyone starts getting old and has back problems, neck problems, etc., I'll be your gal . . . . .

Dingos with rubber teeth . . . . interesting concept. That would work so that they wouldn't get the geese. But then, they also wouldn't be able to protect Rachelville, either . . . unless ONLY the geese protect it.

Chelsea . . . kiddo beats ma'am anyday. Trust me.

Lynne! Our new PT! That works out well too because I'm already getting old, and the ole neck isn't what it used to be ;) I see you are also a fan of Rudolph :D Remember how Rudolph said "San-ta" when his dad made him wear the fake nose? :(

No problem-I'm getting my foils out as we speak!

I'll have you sorted in no time-would you like a coffee/drink while you wait?

Patti,

Can you get John Freida products over there?

Frizz Ease serum-fantastic stuff.

It says to put it on wet hair,but I find it works better once your hair is dry,and you only need a little bit else you'll end up looking greasy!

Glad to be of service in beautiful ole Rachelville :D

Relevations, great word, what does it mean? I'm thinking: relev as in important and elevations as in higher places, so relevations is the sharing of an important journey to the uplifted and inspirational community of Rachelville. :) Anyone else?

This is perfect rinne, aka having an OMG moment in Rachelville!!!

Off all topics, even the off-topic ones -

I just got off the phone with our tech guy for our prospect managment software that's showing me how to use this labrynth of a system that's supposed to make my life easier. He's maybe 30, and works with all of the councils nationwide.

Should I be offended he called me kiddo? :huh::rolleyes::P

C'mon guys, I know I'm young, but sheesh!

Better than "hun" I guess....

There's a guy who regularly calls me kiddo, and he's a couple years younger than me! Just wait till salesmen come to your door and ask if your mom is home! At least you can say no and close the door!!

Got my foils last week :rolleyes:

Thanks for the tip! Yes, I can get John Freida products here--they are widely available. I actually used to use their Wind Down Creme to blow dry, but someone on here said that it might not be gluten-free. I should check that out myself, because I loved that stuff. I've not used the serum--would I just run it thru my hair once I've let it dry naturally (curly?) Thank you Nikki--I'm a little obsessive about my hair :ph34r:

Chelsea - rather be called Kiddo than Ma'am....wait until you hear your first Ma'am....

yeah, I didn't like so much my first ma'am. It was around 30 for me, and I thought wait a minute, when and how did this happen? Ma'am? :lol: And now ever since, I am a ma'am.

A couple months ago I was called "hun" by a cop. I didn't know how to take that one....

:lol: Me too Patti, but I think it's because of the curl for me. I just never have figured out how to work with it, most of the time I am working against it, and that isn't good...

Thanks for all the tips Nikki for the frizzy hair :)

When I used to work retail I refered to every man as "Sir" and every woman as "Ma'am", reguardless of age. I just saw it as being respectful. You ladies read to much in to things....

Your hair looks great in both this picture and your other one!!! Looks like you've figured it out to me!!!

I rub some coconut oil or hand lotion on my hands, then run them through my hair if I'm not home and it's gotten frizzy. It tames it a lot.

You are a good egg. :) I get the respect part of the term, I know that people are more often than not using it in that way. It's just a little hard hearing it for the first time, and then from there on out. I always considered my mom to be the ma'am, and then when I became one, it's just a reminder that we are getting older, that's all.

Carla, you are way too kind :) This picture is the first and only, and probably last, time I had my hair professionally 'done'. It took hours to roll it and dry it and then tease it out and pin it into place. I would never have the patience to do that every day. I like to wash and go and not mess with it too much. I actually don't mind so much the curl, but I have so much of it, it's really really thick.

Great tip about the coconutoil, thanks for sharing :)

I actually get called ma'am a lot.

This is for a couple of reasons: 1) the South 2) the organization I work for

They're kind of big on ma'am's and sirs. It's also wierd to be called Miss Chelsea. I lived in the north too long :rolleyes:

When I lived in Georgia, my friend's kids would call me Miss Patti :D

I've been trying to teach my kids to say Miss so and so or Mister so and so, using first names. They hear us use first names all the time so it's kind of difficult to teach them to say Mr or Mrs so and so. I was raised to call people by their first name so that probably doesn't help any. I did have one friend who's dad insisted on Mr, so that's how I addressed him. Years later I still called him Mr even though I was an adult.

Hi,

You can try natural thyroid medication. Try a natural physician. The best thing is to not eat any processed foods at all. There's nothing but crap in them anyway. The Breadman bread maker by Salton is the best. :)

      Delayed reaction

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.
