Hehe

No other state has anything as handy as the mitten!!

'Course, the yupers get left out.

I spent weeks every summer at a cottage on Lake Mich, betw Arcadia & Frankfort.

Great MI memories fo' me. :)

Me mum's side of the family all in MI.

Lake Michigan is beautiful. Scott and I stopped for an overnight in Harbor Springs on our way back from his Blue Gorilla reunion a couple years back. Was fun--went to the new casino. I went to Traverse City as a kid, and will soon take our daughter to the big water park there.

When I was growing up my friend's grandparents had a place on Deer Lake outside of Boyne (Boyne/Macinac are about 5 hours north of me--I'm in Clinton Township). I spent a lot of time there--4 seasons. They used to call us "Fudgies" cuz they said we only came up for the fudge!

My husband's family has a cottage on Houghton Lake, so we go Up North several times every summer. It's totally commercial there though, more retiree than rustic--yes, there is a Wal-Mart in Prudinville :ph34r:.

The Vagina Microphone :lol:<good gawd, I'm only laffin' cuz I ain't had it done yet> :o

WHOT?????? :angry:you don't get surgery? Gimme their numbers...........I'll give them WHAT FOR :harrrumphfffff:

bloody heinous, is whot is it. :(

'twas a spectacular fall.

severe arm scraping and thorn-stabbing and........a gouge into me wee baby toe :huh:

but it was oh so funny and I wish it coulda been filmed <snackle>

I love this - - they've got their own lingo :wub:(yupers? mittens?[/i] :huh: LOVE IT!!!)

and - this Lake MIchigan summer cottage - - can we git it fer a Psilly Psummit? *sigh*

I want to GO TO there :lol: (a line from "30 Rock")

I hope you never need one Suze!

I have been attacked by fallen in a rosebush on more than one occassion and those scratches hurt! hope you're not too banged up today--bet the marks are pretty red and sore :(

But, laughing at the thought of your 'physical humor'. I laugh at with you, cuz I'm glad I'm not the only clod round here :lol:

Yes--we Michiganders have our own built in MAP--our hand! I'm by Lake St. Clair on the bottom right of the thumb bone where it meets the palm ;) We're between Sterling Heights and Mt. Clemens, about 10-15 miles north of Detroit. Yupers are the Upper Peninsula folks (don't go there much--that Macinac bridge is wayyyy scary).

Well guys, the sun is coming up. Time to fill my coffee cup and start the marathon my day. :wub: and XOXOXO to all. Have a great day, friends!

Well guys, the sun is coming up.

Just had luverly moon rise here but there is a southerly blast heading our way from the Antarctic any minute now, and it promises to obliterate moon and then sun and viciously interfere with gardening activities.

Dear gawd, yes. . .. ....start to mention vagina microphones and anything penis, and oh! There are suddenly rare men posting. . ..! :lol::P

The last time I was in for my Mam and Pap visit, I was lying on the table, complaining about how awful the dreaded speculum (what a thing -- the word alone is terrifying) felt when being inserted and then opened up like an umbrella.

My elderly doctor listened patiently, then said, "you know, it probably wouldn't be nearly so stressful nor uncomfortable if you inserted it yourself"... .. and he handed me the large, stainless steel wrench/corkscrew/pliers instrument. :blink::blink:

I declined, after taking my first good look at this thing... . .I have always purposely NEVER looked at anything in that tray the nurse wheels in....looks too much like toolbelt paraphrenalia.

But the fact that he casually handed the speculum to me was jarring and unforgettable.

Either I come across as freakishly competent, or he may need to retire.

Nikerler! How's our Alsy?

I just dropped DD off at the big tour bus parked in front of their school. The Arts students are off on a whirlwind visit to NYC. She is sharing her hotel room with four other 16-year old girls.

Well heck. Another day without a natural disaster that will prevent me from going to work. Must think of some fun way to make the day pass.....

Ask boss about nipples?

So if you girls have The Vagina Monologues, what is there for us pholks with Y chromosomes? Perhaps one of us suitably equipped should pen something and call it The Penis Soliloquies? To pee, or not to pee, that is the question. ;)

:lol::lol:Penile Poetry.. . . .. .....

I rather suspect that the penile monologues would sound rather primitive. I don't believe they've progressed beyond monosylibic narcissistic grunts. But then again, they may surprise us like the gorillas did. Lets teach them sign language and see what they come up with! :lol::lol:

I had to tell my boss the most appallingly personal things when my fibroids were at their worst.

He seems to have survived, though.

You all are fortunate to have bosses with which to have conversations, especially humorous ones. I discovered from the start of this job that you can't tell the "bossy" anything. It gets discussed with everyone else. :angry:

BUTT!!! If you're having a good mental day you CAN have phun with such people :ph34r:

Yes, tis quite do-able. Tom, Suze, Jess and Patty could fly in to Detroit, then we'll drive (4 hours) to Toronto/Ottowa. Nikki and Shroom could meet us there. Where is everyone else?

I'm actually serious about this. I have two extra queen size beds in my basement--decent arrangements down there, too. Any are welcome to stay--could be high drama adventure!!

Is it ever anything more than "NOW"?

I was gonna say, penii don't have a plethora of subjects they'd like to discuss.... There's really only two.

So coconut chicken! Simple: Smash up a cup or two of honey nut rice chex, mix with 1/2 cup or so shredded coconut and garlic/salt/pepper. Then dip chicken pieces in coconut milk and then the dry mix (I only dip one side in the dry mix because if you coat the bottom it just gets all mushy anyway) and place in baking dish crunchy side up. Pour remaining coconut milk in pan around chicken, add pineapple chunks if you like, and bake 350 for 35 min, less if it's only a few pieces of chicken. The above measurements made a LOT of chicken, tone it down if you're not a glutton.

Sweet tatoes: Peel, boil, mash, add butter & maple syrup. :)

We also had broccoli.

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.
    • Scott Adams
      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.      
    • Marie70
      Hello, My mid twenties daughter is blaming my husband and I for her celiac disease.  She has not been diagnosed at all, but GOOGLE has informed her she has it.  She is going to go get tested now, but my question is, did we?  I was not the best cook while she was growing up and often made quick processed food for meals.  She is blaming us for what she ate growing up and is angry that we didn't feed her better.  I don't know how to react and all I could tell her was I was sorry.  Her older brother has Crohn's disease and he was diagnosed as a teenager.  She is also furious with us that we didn't change his diet either.  I don't know why I didn't and I am having so much guilt I don't even know how to handle this situation.  Both sides of our family have a history of IBS, Celiac and Crohn's disease.   I guess I just wanted to hear from anyone out there that can either point blame at me (I can accept it) or tell me that the food she ate growing up didn't have an affect on her.  I am thinking it most likely did. Thank you, Marie
    • RMJ
      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.
