My life used to be so funny. I'm not sure where I lost my psillie mojo. I wish it would come back though. Even my kids haven't been saying too many funny things-that's REALLY odd!

Watching Bob Dylan on The Grammys--still looks pretty good.

Looks good, but sounds.......... not so good :blink: Mumford & Sons though... Phab!!

Banana cake.....buttercream or caramel frosting?

Little late to the game, as per usual, but I'd go with a whipped chocolate ganasche ;)

One of our radio stations played " easy listening" & Christmas music starting in Oct. They have changed to all comedy. They play different comedians stand- up. I was laughing while I was driving.

One guy was talking about the implications of men with PMS. " better not invite Joe to go hunting, he's PMSing"

Reminds me....Mark was telling me last week that he was talking to a couple other guys at the office and I guess he complained about something because one of the guys said--"want me to go into the ladies' room and get you a tampax?"

Mark replied--"Don't use 'em, I'm past menopause". :P

I bought these "Drive and Learn French" C.D's to listen to during my commute. I lasted 10 minutes this morning because it started out talking as fast as you can, "Let's count!" OneTwoThreeFourFive:UnDeuxTroisQuatreCinq, MyNameIsJohn,HowAreYou?:JeM'appelleJohn,CommentAllez-vous?

I was getting so stressed out I had to turn it off!! I don't really want to pay 300$ for the Rosetta Stone.

You don't need to learn French. The French all speak English. Spanish might be more useful.

We have a French exchange student on the robotics team. Better English then the rest of us. Extremely polite.

Only if they want to :ph34r: Now the Germans DO all speak English so that's a waste of time learning that language. I did the Spanish tapes in the car bit before we went to Mexico, (used to spend a lot of time stopped on the "free"way) and got these very strange looks :blink:

Gah! Well, as was suggested on Da Book, both men and women of ANY age could be using them as nasal drippage stoppers.....got the pull-out strings an' everything.....even different sizes.. . . . ...

When my brother got his wisdom teeth out, the doctor told him to get tampons from his sisters to pack the wounds & absorb blood for the first day. So my 16 year old bro asked me his 20 year old sis for tampons. Then he said, "Not used ones, please." :ph34r:

Used to be fluent in Espanol, but alas, you don't use it, you lose it. I know I have no use for French at all, but my mother was fluent in French as was my college roommate and I've always wanted to learn. My high school only offered Spanish and Japanese. I didn't want either one of them, but I did get to go to Mexico 5 years in a row to practice. Now if I can manage to learn French and get to France 5 years in a row.....

Um...NO. Good songwriter, yes. I thought maybe they had turned him mic off at the Grammy's bc I couldn't hear him over the instuments-which were UH-mazing btw!

Then he said, "Not used ones, please." :ph34r:

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Something is stinking in our garage. It's happened a couple of times this winter and we can't pin down the source. It gets really bad and then disappears all together only to resurface a month later. When the doors to the garage are closed, the whole place stinks, when you open them up, it completely airs out. There's no area of the garage that is worse than any other. The dog won't sniff it out either, she totally ignores it. I forget, why do we have her? She totally does not pull her weight around here!! You ask her to sniff out the location of one stinkin' thing and she totally blows us off!!!

Yeah--the music was too loud, but really good. I like ole Bob, though....

Do you have access to a cat? Evil Kitty, the neighborhood cat, checks my garage for hidden mice.

Once a bird got into our dryer vent and died--the laundry room stunk for quite a while..... <_<

We did put a mesh thingy on the vent opening--but of course this was after.....

Yes, I do believe it is that "something's dead" smell . . . but why does it come and go . . . and why is the dog not even remotely interested??!!!

I'm afeared that we need to actually haul everything out of the garage to find it and that's just not possible at the moment . . . hence, hoping that the dog would point us in the right direction <_< . . . guess we shoulda got a pointer instead of a mutt that is only interested in squirrels. That makes me think that it is NOT a dead squirrel.

      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!

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      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.

      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.

      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.
