Not wearing his cape? Not even his glasses?

Mods, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this forum allows those type of pics. No matter how skinny the nakey person might be. :ph34r:

( The last one had on a Santa hat)

He not naked - I save those pics for me (tee -hee). Just younger and in better shape. I just put my turkey in. I'm cooking it at 350 not 325 because my oven is not accurate. Tony got up a little earlier today than usual. He's been sleeping until 11:00 or 12:00. I miss the days when he believed in santa and rushed into our room at 5 AM. We were able to put the presents out the night before. Clark already had one of the books I bought him (2 Jon Stewart books). Tony LOVED the Enormix Condom as well as the gliding Jesus action figure and some kind of unicorn action figure set Clark picked out. Tony bought me a beautiful Swarsky Crystal Butterfly that says I love you on it (I collect them and when he was going to some of the graduation parties for the girls he was close with I let him give them a few of my pieces). He got Clark Kill Bill I & II.

We're staying home and having a laid back Christmas. it's only 11:00 but I'm thinking of having a glass of vino.

Wishing all of my dear psillies a very merry Christmas. I count my new pfamily among my blessings!!!!!!!

Not sure if I ever told y'all about the end of my ex saga.

He was renting the spare room in my house, which I thought was a great deal for someone since I leave at 5 or 6 am and get home at 7 or 8 and pretty much go straight to bed, but he didn't seem to like it. Anyway, Feb? March? of last year he told me he was putting his stuff in storage, going to visit his parents, and getting an apartment when he got back, and could he pay me the last of the rent later. I said sure, just post date a check for whenever. He wrote it for September, and I forgot about it til a week or so ago. Meanwhile, he comes back from his parents, doesn't speak to me at all (and he works in the store where I shop) and I find out from one of the tellers that he came back with a wife and child. So he's been married for months and never told anyone, just showed up with a family. :P

And seriously, if he had spoken even a word to me in the last six months I would have returned his check and told him to get something nice for the baby, but I'm really into that reap/sow thing.

You better cash that check girl. What a bizarre situation. BE is SOOOOO much better for you. Any chance of seeing him today?

Holiday Hugs,

BE and I are taking a couple weeks off to remember who we are. He's also blowing off family today to go skiing. It's been a stressful month and we've been each other's comfort and neither of us want that to define us. We're doing other friends until after the new year, and then he suggested we have a 'first date' so we don't get caught in any dating ruts. :wub: :wub: He called yesterday, and I'll leave cheery message on his phone for him to hear when he comes down from the mountain today.

Just hanging out, waiting for the gluten-free brownies to cool. Then I am putting a thick peppermint icing, then cool the icing. Then a layer of melted chocolate. Am making these because M loves them when my neighbor makes them. And, since he doesn't love ham, I thought he should have something he really likes. Wuld put them on the screened porch to cool, but the squirrels are having a Xmas feast of corn, peanuts & sunflower seeds. Don't want them to think I'm serving dessert!

Enjoy the apart time and that will make you more sure of what you both want. Boy, every time I think you are one hell of a smart lady you outdo yourself. I bet New Year's Eve will be smokin!

Good to see you here GFinDC!!! You've been missed. I meant to PM you that I won the big holiday raffle at my painting class. it was a 3 foot lighted tree (gave the tree to a pfriend who needed it so DH wouldn't strangle me with the cord). Anyway - it was decorated with supplies (tubes of paint and brushes). Just in time as my UI will run out (pfingers crossed I'll get Disability until I'm able to work). After a certain amount of classes you need to purchase your supplies. Every year the teacher finds a holiday cause and this year it was foster children. So pfor every present you brought in you got a raffle ticket. I would have brought in presents even if there wasn't a prize and in all honesty i never looked at the prize table.

Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year!

Holiday Hugs,

Loey

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian! So, for the sake of clarity, you have self-diagnosed yourself as having celiac disease but are not officially diagnosed by medical testing. Is this correct?

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      I’m 70 years old and have RA for 25 years. I’d never had digestive issues or even heard of celiac until 2 months ago. 6 years ago I started having serious diarrhea, dropped what little weight I had, became very exhausted, developed rapid onset blood pressure and other symptoms. I went to the doctor for an unrelated matter and even with my records he ...

      Conflicting results

      Would you also agree that being so close to the IgA deficient cut off is significant? We just have been told he’s not as just over into the not deficient category… thank you so much for all the help so far, it’s been so helpful!

      Conflicting results

      One study showed that up to 44% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease, so his odds of having it are quite high. Also, if he were not IgA deficient his celiac disease test scores would likely have been much higher because they were based on the IgA antibodies.

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins list in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.

      I’m 70 years old and have RA for 25 years. I’d never had digestive issues or even heard of celiac until 2 months ago.  6 years ago I started having serious diarrhea, dropped what little weight I had,  became very exhausted, developed rapid onset blood pressure and other symptoms. I went to the doctor for an unrelated matter and even with my records he told me they have ‘pills’ for all those things; which I turned down and sought to deal with this with homeopathic remedies.  Mid October 2024 my guts hurt terribly and started to swell. My massage therapist asked about celiac and I started to do research on it. It absolutely fits all the symptoms so I’ve been gluten free since 2 days before Thanksgiving but the huge gut persists. Thankfully the pain and cramps are gone. I look like a 90# pregnant skeleton.  I’m exhausted and looking for some encouragement from the tribe. I have good days and bad. I know living with an autoimmune disease sucks but this is even worse than the RA.

      Hi guys. Apologies for the late reply. Many many thanks for the replies. Hi - I am eating both white rice and wholegrain brown rice, due to it being very difficult to just eat brown rice. In regards to histamine foods - I am taking 10mg loratadine to combat this issue, however haven't seen any positive results as of yet. I have noticed if I am on a strict gluten free diet for around 1 week, the insomnia instantly pops up, and I have to eat around half a slice of bread for it to stop. I am trying to lower this amount, however the insomnia is still present. I have searched these forums and the internet but there seem to be no solution to this issue. I thought if I gradually reduce from half a slice and a little less, the issue will be resolved. However this is not the case.
