Yeah, Nik . . . wee Big Al!!! . . . Much better and more phitting for a 17 year old!!! Hope yer pheelin' better soon.

Sloozen . . . sorry to hear about yer hubby . . . hope something (better) comes about quickly.

Josie has a phriend over for the weekend. Willa is here for the next 24 hours. Willa is about 4 months old and is a golden retriever. She's a cutie and already annoying Jo-dog which surprises me. I really thought Jo-dog (who has had lots of practice annoying everyone) would be annoying Willa!!!

Congrats Pat-Tea!! . . . ummm . . . on the house, not on finding a bottle of sugar cola in yer phridge!! :lol::lol:

OMG! My husband got laid-off today!

Welcome to the club.....only my hubby was fired. They NEVER lay off. It's been over 2 months, now.

Can you not get COBRA insurance in the meantime?? Assuming finances would permit???

GADS, that is sooo expensive! I got insurance through my job, but insuring hubby on mine is out of our reach, also. So he doesn't have insurance at the moment.

On another note.....closing happened this morning--went off without a hitch. :D

WOOHOO!!!!

Ya know, one day I'll be back down there, since my son's not too far from you! :)

At least its not snaughing (ssshhhhhh)

:o Hush yer mouth!!!!!

Sewzan.....My husband's bosses were told they had to let more people go, and hubby was the highest paid in his department......and the most knowledgeable and most dependable. This is what yer daddy meant when he said life wasn't fair.

What can I say. Onward and Upward, I guess. :D

That's Right!

Like you, I'm pissed, but I have to believe there is something better out there for him. I believe in the 'another door opening' idea...just wish it didn't take so long! <_<

Keep the faith.......we're here for you ;)

And when that day comes, you and Brain better let me know!! :D We'd love to see youse guys again, and this time under much happier curcumstances ;):)

Yeah--Mark was the last hired and higest paid in his department....actually the deprtment manager. The company he was with eliminated the entire tier of middle management in one fell swoop. It was right before the holidays (November 14th of last year) and it was a nerve-wracking time.

His position down here is better (GM), and thank goodness it came along. The trade-off is that we had to move away from the boys. Ya just never know......but Sleezen and Leesiugh, hold tight and I know something is going to come along fer your guys :) You are all in my thoughts.

ps...Nick, get better and Iam... are you diabetic?

Nah, all the bad genes are on hubbies side......namely celiac disease ;)

Nik, forevvins sake! Take good care of theesell; t'is a long time to be crappy. I had often wondered how old "wee" Alzy was; had not pictured 17!! Gads, ya can't call him "wee" nae more, and he definitely needs a more grown-up name to mark his 17th year!! Even if it's only Al :unsure::huh:

:lol:

..and he is infact taller than me!!

He will always seem like 'wee Alzey' even though he's the middle child! I think it's because he has learning difficulties and still has an air of innocence 'bout him ;) (unlike me other boys :ph34r:<_< )

Congrats Pat-Tea!! . . . ummm . . . on the house, not on finding a bottle of sugar cola in yer phridge!! :lol::lol:

I'd like to commend her on both actually!! :lol:

Now you just stop that! :rolleyes:

I was emptying out some old e-mails recently and came across one from Jess. She had given her phone number and said if I needed anything at all........

*sniff*

....... 'twas a good cry, though.

I think I still have e-mails from Janet and other psillies, too ^_^ Have tried to get rid of some, a little at a time.

Time to move on........

Gah! Isn't it astonishing when this begins to happen?? The Ripper does not have to look way up to me anymore.. . . .this pleases him greatly, but for me it is a measure of time passing.....of me getting older... .. . . ......

He just ain't a little kid anymore! He's got glasses, and stinky feet, and an oft-mopey attitude.... . . ....

At least he still hates his sister, and remains GREATLY embarrassed by me when we are anywhere together. :rolleyes::lol:

Jeez, when he and Sophie start to become friends, and Jack can suddenly relate to me, I'm done for.

Hey!! I can get a muumuu here for like, $18!!!

Got up at 3:30 this morning, got on the 5:20 boat, took the limo to the airport and sat around for a loooooong time. Got to my hotel about 2:30 Hawaiian time and made myself go walk along the beach. Achieved my goal of going to see the pink hotel. And I am completely wiped.

Gonna try to do some homework, but I thought I'd say hi first.

      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.

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good morning, I saw that a lot of people were asking wether Polly-O products are gluten free. I just called them and all their cheeses are gluten free! Just wanted to let anyone know.    if you still want you can give them a call.

      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!
