Sorry to disappoint you, but this psilly doesn't drink :o

Me own mum tried to make a social drinker outta me, but it didn't woik! :rolleyes:

......but I'll have me blankie, cafe mocha, and a good book ^_^

A gal after my own heart, I'd take a mocha over the rum anyday! I talk big, but rarely drink--secret's out. I'm usually the designated driver BUT I do have now 16 bottles of vodka in my freezer :P I do like me vodka, just not phreeckwently :D I pheel like I need it more than I drink it!

What??? You HATE peeps??? :o

You must not have tried all the different varieties and different coloUrs, otherwise you would know . . . OK, yeah, they DO all taste the same . . . but how cute are they??? Doesn't that count for something??

Yes, I HATE Peeps. The problem is, they are so darned cute that you just want to take a bite out of them, hence my issue. Last year the kids BEGGED me at Christmas time to get the star shaped peppermint Peeps to put in their hot cocoa-both hated them and wouldn't even drink their cocoa. It was like eating whipped toothpaste :blink:

Holy Smores!!! (<---- That's so appropriate in more ways than one :lol::lol: ) Your peeps talk and predict the weather??? OK, ummm, I've never seen that variety at the store . . . only the little chicks and bunnies at Easter, and snowmen and trees at Christmas, and some ghosta or summat at Halloween. Yeah, so maybe your peeps don't taste so good . . . :huh::lol:

I actually have a friend that dated one of them a few years ago. She said that too.....mentioned something like drinking bleach :o

:lol::lol::lol:

well....yuh!!!!

.....and I used to let my graham crackers sit out cuz they would soften up :P

Don't you think there's something wrong there? Aren't crackers and cookies supposed to get stale and custy, not soft? :huh::P

Whot in hell are these li'l things.....Peeps? Sound rather yuck.. . ..... .....whipped toothpaste.....:blink: Like the Twinkie, they probably have no discernable shelf life, and could be left in the back of one's cupboard for eight years, pulled out and -- good as new..!

Lisa - you know Em is laffing at us . . . but we're the ones that will get the day off (hopefully) . . . who'll be laffing then???

((((Sigh)))))) . . ..... ... . ..'tis true... . . ...you guys have the right idear. I want my city to shut down due to psnaough!! 'Twould be virtually unheard of -- no vehicles plowing through drifts, people in snowsuits struggling along, breaking trail to their jobs, their groceries, their schools... ....... . ..

STOP THE INSANITY! :lol:

Sounds just like the Deutschlanders. Temp -30 (F); nothing but ice and frostbite everywhere, and the little uns struggling to school, wearing four layers of everything which it takes 20 minutes to put on and 20 minutes to take off again; shop assistants in fancy establishments allowed to wear Uggs (iffen they had had them then), but furlined boots and wearing tights under their trews, because "the show must go on." But come summer, they turn into wusses. Gets to 90 degreess (F), they close the schools!!! :o:rolleyes:

Does anyone know WIH I have been lately? It's Thursday? It was just Monday yesterday! I am in creting online course insanity. You guys think THIS board is bad- try Blackboard where you have to upload every file one at a time. I must have 400 files (can't talk to them so I have to write it all down!).

Bevvy is SO confused- the US beat Canada at WHAT hockey game? :unsure: :unsure:

and I used to let my graham crackers sit out cuz they would soften up

Me too!

Your friend dated a Peep? What color? Well, he must have been sugary sweet at the very least :lol: :lol:

Moi too! I love drinking my cosmos when I do tho. Drank 2 glasses of champagne NYE and was a) snockered (waited until 11 PM to start)

B) hungover all the next day (was more often asleep than awake) but was it worth it? YES! But only once or twice a year.

Well, the kids had school today . . . not even a delay. Smakl was sooooo disappointed he almost teared up at breakfast. Then to make matters worse, the kids weren't even allowed out to play in the snow at recess (we really don't get too many good snowfalls) because 3/4 of the kids didn't wear(or bring) hats/gloves (boots aren't required to go out but you have to stay in the 'cleared' area). Really?? These are elementary school kids . . . they still listen to their parents (for the most part) so why didn't the parents prepare these kids to deal with 6 inches of snow??!!! GAH!!!

I thought for sure we would have lots of no-shows at the preschool . . . NOPE. I think we were missing 4 kids total and I know one of those was because he was sick. Don't get me wrong, I'm not scared to drive in the snow, but if you don't have to, why would you?

Love Big Bang Theory . . . would love to see Sheldon in "real life". He plays his role so well, you think he's probably really like that.

Stop Cocks and Ball Cocks . . . yeah, it was about time that conversation circled around again.

Best line of the day (from Shroomie): Check out his thumbs first afore ye waste the time fumbling in the snow for his stopcock :lol: :lol: :lol:

yep. And there was someone there named Frank, but not anyone I really worked with.

OK, I called the number (from work, which goes through a central switchboard). There is a long connect time, then it goes directly into voicemail which has an answering message of "...yes, leave me a message"

creepy?

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Marie70 · Posted

      Wow!! Scott, Trent and Christiana thank you so much for your fast replies!! The information you have shared with me has helped me tremendously.   Thank you for all the articles.  I appreciate you all so much!! I’ll keep you posted in this post.  I will encourage her to get tested.  I feel a little better!

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      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

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
