:) How is Sophie doing?

Actually, Soph is doing well. She is a very physically busy kid, with a lot of group sports going on, and she has many friends. Jack is a different beast -- he thinks and reads a great deal, doesn't surround himself with many other kids... .. ...I know that when he grieves throughout his lifetime, it will always be a huge trial for him.

But camp will be a great experience right now.

SO MUCH TO DO AND SO LITTLE TIME.

Been thinking about you, Joooodie. Nothing is more stressful than a big move..... ... but hey, it will be all over soon and you'll be in your new abode, and right near your son! :)

Where are me psillies???? :huh:

My life has returned to normal..........or closer than it's been in a looong time.

No more wedding planning, company is gone (my sis flew home today), work starts on Friday.

Drove to the airport, did me grocery shopping, returned my shoes that sounded like birds chirping when I walked <_< , returned huge containers of peanut butter and chocolate syrup that didn't get used at the reception, bought really cute sandals, went to the chiropractor, fixed a quick dinner, and talkin to me psillies before I watch So You Think You Can Dance.

Nothing planned for my last day off before going back to work.

<bigsigh>

^_^

For days I thought I was being followed by an invisible miniature duck, then I realized it was my new sandals.

OMG.....cannot believe this coincidence... I was wandering through the house this aft and kept hearing a funny little noise, like a squeaky bird or mouse. Kept checking my shoes, then anything with a motor - - the fridge, freezer.... . .....couldn't trace it. And it was kinda moving, like from one corner of the kitchen to the hall. The dogs were non-plussed.

Well..........MY bird noise turned out to be coming from:

A BIRD.

:huh:

<_<

Tess or Bryce must have brought him in. A li'l sparrow, flitting about under the living-room curtains. He seemed okay, but had a very small chirp.....guess he did not want to draw the dogs' attention. So I picked him up quite easily and put him out under the chestnut tree. He was gone five minutes later.

Can you imagine a chirpy bird sound, and it's coming from a bird? :lol:

Thanks Em, you'll all have to come West to see me. B) ifn' I gets me butt there :lol:

Oh Judy- He's stunning- my dad would have taken him in a second. I bet you someone like my dad will scoop him up and he will be King of the Castle. But I'm sure you must be so sad. ((((HUGS))))))

Yep, He'd do best with a man I think.

He got his name Velcro b/c it was like he was velcro'd to Jim's body.

when ever he moves, Velcro is right beside him.........me............he could care less, but i love him anyway

Ditto here- get better Max!

Em- The Ripper will have a GREAT time at camp- bet it will get his mind off everything.

How is Max doing? Have you heard from the Ripper Em?

For days I thought I was being followed by an invisible miniature duck, then I realized it was my new sandals.

I had some that did that too.

Morning Sillies

A very tired morning. Was up till 1 finishing things up- and then I got up at 5:30 for work...leaving at 11 to go north home to drop off fair goods, and then I am returning to my house tonight and going back up tomorrow with John for judging....

The baking turned out good. I am anxious to see. I am also entering my PB fudge. First time entering the cooking contests, but I figured the gals at work are still surviving after eating my food that it might be fair worthy LOL

Yes we can have musical pheet!!! Our own Phunny orchestra.

Thinking about all my sillies and hoping you are all good :)

Max seems better. I have to take him in for a blood draw daily, until his 'crit stops dropping. It was at 20 yesterday, which is at the bottom of the 'watch and wait' criteria. I'm hoping it will be the same today. Max is certainly perkier, and licking his tuna juice with more enthusiasm.

I have 8 cans of different cat food open in my fridge, four different jars of baby food, and tuna. I've got a container of cooked chicken, and a bit of raw beef in there as well. I slept through last night's 1 am feeding, so just did the 4 am, and a bit more just now (about 6:30).

There's food splotches all over the floor. Four different platters to choose from. Water bowls all over. Lyle and Lefty are about as full as they've ever been in their lives.

Just another normal day for a crazy cat lady...

Sounds like the blood draw should bring good news--yer taking such good care of the lil' guy. Glad to hear he's perking up :D

Guess what crazy thing happened yesterday . . . OK, I'll tell ya 'cause you'll never guess . . .

When my In-laws were here over the week-end, we were doing a bit of driving around. We had gone out to the horse barn so that Skeeter could introduce them to BlackJack (the horse she uses for lessons). On our way back, we drove through a neighborhood that was in it's early stages about 8 years ago when we were looking to move. We loved the neighborhood but couldn't afford it and ended up where we are now. We hadn't been back to the neighborhood and seeing how it turned out, we're somewhat glad that we didn't move there. Anyhow, my (step)MIL didn't care for it at all and so when we left, I decided to take her through one that is really close to our house (I was driving). It's a beautiful neighborhood and well out of our price range and the model is GORE-JUSS!!! My MIL walked in and stopped dead in her tracks and said "It's Beautiful" . . . Well, now the in-laws are thinking about moving . . . they currently live in the Washington DC area. They have a smaller house but worth more because it's DC. They called yesterday to tell us and arrange for my MIL to stay with us because she has "planning" meetings with the builder. It's all contingent on selling their home and what they can get for it and what the new one will cost. Mum's the word to the chidlins . . . don't want to get their hopes up if it all falls through. Go figger.

. . . and just for the record, I'm OK with it.

Jess . . . glad Max seems better . . . hope the bloodwork proves it.

Man, would I evah LOVE to do that, Joooooodie. We've been talking about the southwestern US as a vacation destination for a while, now........... . .

Keep yer ears open for a knock on your new front door in the next couple o' years, will ya? :)B)

Patteigh! What a great idea. All squeaky footwear at the ready. For percussion, we could incorporate this new popping noise that is happening with my new overuse injury atop my foot. Anybody have any cracking knees? They would work well, too. OH! And if we wait until May, when my mold allergy kicks in, we'll have my whistling nose at our disposal.

Now, THIS could collaborate into a veritable symphony. . ........!

:lol:

I've got a container of cooked chicken,

:huh:

:unsure:

Um. . . ..........now, the civckebs haven't seen any of this, mehopes. . . ...

Are you kidding?? Jahgnutt, I was gonna put forward that your in-laws were suddenly trolling for a home in yer neighboUrhood.......honest! <_<:rolleyes:

. . . and just for the record, I'm OK with it.

Oh, thank gawd. . . .. ... . ....

If my MIL suddenly decided to move into an adjoining neighboUrhood. .......

Em!!! When you do take that trip to the southwest, you must include Houston! Youse can stay wif us and we can go to the space center--and PF Changs. You would love running on the trails here in town (early in the day, of course) ;):D And I have wine B)

Jan-it--that's great about yer in-laws....as long as you're ok wif it. How wonderful for the kids if it all works out. :)

In addition to squeeky shoes, I have a right big toe that will crack at will. Might be good for that perfect flourish at the end of a number :rolleyes::lol: Ya know, instead of a triangle, er sumphin.

I ate pizza :o :o :o:D :D :D

I went down a different aisle in the grocery store and walked past the gourmet freezer and there it was-- Amy's gluten-free pizza! While it was really fun to have pizza after three years, for $7 -on sale- it should have been a whole lot better....

Our grocery store has empty cardboard "six packs" where people can mix and match bottles of wine and easily carry them away. You come, and we'll get a couple o' those. :D

      Delayed reaction

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @RDB7918393! For some folks, gluten reactions are delayed but I would not think symptoms delayed  of a week or more out would be due to a gluten reaction. Twenty four hours or so but not 7-14 days. I would suspect something else is going on. Eating out is well-known to be the number one sabotaging activity of the gluten-free life style.

      Delayed reaction

      By RDB7918393 · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac about 10 months ago after having on and off morning stomach cramping and loose stool that only occurred like once a month. So I don’t get immediate reactions…more if build up reactions. I do my best to be gluten free but hard when on vacation and going to restaurants to fully trust cross contamination problems. I find that if I’m cross contaminated, I don’t get a reaction til about a week or two after. The reaction is stomach cramping morning only with flaky stool. Does anyone else have such a delayed reaction like a week or two after being glutened? Or should I go for more testing to see what’s going on.

      Rice, corn, and other gluten-free grains.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your approach is spot-on—trusting reliable sources like Mayo Clinic and sticking to a gluten-free diet that works for you is the best way to navigate all the noise out there. The claim that rice and corn contain forms of gluten harmful to celiacs is indeed a misconception. While these grains do contain proteins that may technically be referred to as "glutens" in a broader scientific sense, they are structurally and functionally different from the gliadin found in wheat, which is the specific protein harmful to those with celiac disease. Scientific research overwhelmingly supports the safety of non-contaminated rice and corn for celiacs unless there’s a separate sensitivity or allergy involved. Some opinion pieces or alternative health sources may blur the lines by conflating these proteins, which can cause unnecessary worry. You're absolutely correct to focus on the distinction between scientifically validated information and anecdotal claims. It's also important to note that some people with celiac disease may develop sensitivities to other grains over time, but this is individual and not a universal rule. If you’re asymptomatic and thriving on a diet that includes certified gluten-free products with rice and corn, there’s no reason to change what’s clearly working for you. The internet is a breeding ground for well-meaning but misguided advice, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Your instinct to validate claims through reliable research is exactly the right way to go. Keep enjoying your gluten-free meals, stick with trusted certifications, and don’t feel pressured to adopt restrictive diets that aren’t backed by science or tailored to your specific needs. Happy New Year to you too!
