Hey Carla, want to meet me half-way in Batesville, IN?
Sure! Indy is also a possibility ... I find my way there occasionally ... we lived there for almost 10 years! Are you in Indy? I love Christmas shopping up in the Keystone area .... last time we did we lived 11 miles outside Bloomington, in the country .... it snowed like crazy and took us something like three or four hours to drive down 37 to B'ton. We realized if 37 was that bad, 43, a scenic state highway that we live on, would be impassible ... so we called the kids and told them we were staying at a hotel in Bloomington ... fun shopping trip!

I usually drive through Columbus if I go see Morgan at IU, but I could always swing through Indy instead.

Do you ever go to King's Island in the summer?

Susie, have you noticed that you sound like Yoda?
:lol: :lol: :lol:

I quizzically eye him and say "Really? You remember ME?"

He says "I'm sure I've seen you before".

I must have a familiar face .... everyone thinks they know me ....

Just never been a fan of the pop-in. Sounds nice, in theory, but I like to be prepared.
I figure that if all I can offer is a glass of water, that's their fault for just dropping in! And if my house is messy, well, I didn't know they were coming! If I have no makeup on, well, they're going to have to get over that, too! LOL

And Susie, looks like Sarah has a crick in her neck. Can she borrow some muskel relax-her?

:( Man, I'm just too far away to meet any other sillies. Peter and I could meet halfway, say in Tweed. Alex, I believe you are in Ontario somewhere...you close to Ottawa?

Susie, have you noticed that you sound like Yoda?

:lol: Well, she certainly does not sound like Sir Winston Churchill...

What's your Twister game like, Tom? :lol:

Hmmmmm I remember large solidly colored circles of a common radius but varied hues, arranged in a matrix on a plane of white vinyl. What's YOURS like? :P

<sprusie said schemata>

Call and check in on him .... later call and ask about the lake house.

That sounds about right.

We don't mean 20min later do we?

Days later?

Andrea keeps us all in line on the OMG thread. She keeps track of our appts. our test results, and our mood, or whatever else needs taken care of. :)

Yeaaahhhhh ain't she somethin!!

You do know I have SIX kids and live close to Tennessee, right? :P

As if your oldest boy would be up for it!!

Oh, I LOVE drop-ins!

:)

Weirdo or quaint throwback?

... but it's so well-known that it's welcome that I've even had a seminarian stop in and ask me if I had any dinner leftover or a peanut butter sandwich ....

:lol:

So who have you met so far . . . I know momma goose, broncobux . . . soon to be Andrea

Well it started w/ Donna & Claire. Claire was once a regular on OMG, but hasn't been seen for a while.

Just days later I met Shelly, who i'd recruited to the OMG thread from celiacbayarea on yahoo, where they acted like she was nutty for considering mold allergies etc, and that ultra-resticted diet, for her boy.

(Woohoo going to SJ's Christmas in The Park tomorrow w/ Shelly and kids!! :D )

Then .. . ..hmmm probably the pizza w/ Goosey, Bronc & Mouse.

Then James, who owns a health food store, and tho his username here had the store name, he somehow got the boot for putting it into his sig. It's a shame. He knows a LOT and spends a lot of time keeping up on things while at work.

I feel like I missed someone but am nevertheless pretty sure I haven't.

OK, Andrea's #8!

I'll be meeting ppl in the celiacbayarea group before long too. ;) They do a couple get-togethers a month, but I haven't been able to join them yet.

:unsure:

I do? how does yoda talk......I only saw the first Star Wars. In high school. Was Yoda in that? :lol:

Ah but the disagreeability of the Seinfeldian pop-in far exceeds the neighboUrly pop-in (pssst susie missed the U earlier & I'm a tattletale :P ).

The been-on-a-date-or-3 pop-in is in an entire different leeeeeaaaaaaaague, imho.

<how'd that 'h' get in there?>

Just the fact that the dating popper-inner ( :lol: ) went out of his or her way is a grand distinction.

(Oops! loophole for those of YOU who date neighbours :lol: ) <timeout .. . .still chuckling>

:wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm.........are you referring to MOI? That neighboUr didn't really do pop-ins.....I always knew......except for the one time......the drunken pop-in. :huh:

Do you ever go to King's Island in the summer?

We're just north of Indy. Prior to this summer, I went to Cincinnati three or four times a year. My friend who just moved to Boxford, MA used to live in Cinti (actually Maineville) and we would get off at the King's Island Exit to get to her house. We would sit in her driveway and watch the Kings Island Fireworks and eat ice cream. I used to live in Cincinnati. That's where I met hubby. We both worked for GE Aircraft Engines (not called that now, though).

Oh it was really just about the proximity distinction. When I realized the loophole existed, it HAD to be thrown in :D , regardless of the presence or absence of actual pop-ins. ;)

Talk like Yoda, you do.

OHHHHH MYYYYYY GAWWWWWDDDDDD!!!! How could you have only seen the first Star Wars??!! And no, Yoda wasn't in the first one.

Did I ever tell you I have a brother in Fort Wayne? I never, ever talk to him, so it doesn't really matter. :huh:

Me thinks you should arrange for a reconcilliation, have him fly you out for a visit. I'll meet you at the airport and you can come to my house!

:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

You would probably die laughing if I told you the movies I watch repeatedly. Sappy European romantic comedies. ugh.

Wait. I DID see a movie with Yoda in it, which means....I DID see more than one Star Wars!!!!

hmmmmmmm....I don't like him...and...he doesn't really like any of us. and BTW - I am quite certain he is Celiac - but since he virtually never goes to the doctor - who would know or care? His wife...she sort of took him away from almost everyone. Totally crazy. We speak to her once a year, on her birthday - that's it......

HEINOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

We're not THAT close! Chocolatetown is about an 8 hour drive from here. Indianapolis is only 2.

Just a quick "pop in" to let everyone know I am still here. Morning commute was not as bad as expected until the very end. The local side streets around the store had not been plowed. Officially, Toronto got 26 cm (10 inches). When you shovel it into piles it is a lot more.

Tweed? Well, Emily, I suppose that is halfway. I was there once, many years ago. Kingston would be more to my preference, even though it is definitely closer to Ottawa than my place. My parents lived in Kingston for a while before I was born.

Back to the store in the morning, although I'm leaving a bit later since an employee is opening. Next day off: December 25th. Retail in December is good for business, lots of revenue, but lots of hours for the retailer.

Speaking of meeting board members, we may be coming up to Harrisburg in June for a family reunion. Hubby's family.

Oh dear. :o I sent the Elf link to Brian on Instant Messenger. Just got an IM back- he showed it to his whole office. Gah. :blink:

Well, I ended up eating some french rolls at the party Friday. I figured I could handle a little diarrhea, I haven't had a freakin' french roll in months. UNfortunately, it didn't give me diarrhea, it gave me the pukies.

In fact, I had to pull over when I was taking the boys to school yesterday morning. Not many places to pull over around here. Ended up err... baptizing... the parking lot of the hardware/general store.

And of course, this makes the boys nervous-- Mommy, why are you puking? Mommy, there's throw-up coming out your nose. You hit the car door, Mommy. What made you puke, Mommy???

Feeling slightly better, today.

Ahhhh...just lost my whole post...GRRRRRRRR :angry:

Not a good day....phone line is down. Repairman to come between 5 and 10 tonight...DH and I will be at a Christmas Fete. So, our two kids will entertain said techie, point to all the phone jacks, and let him at it. I feel a bit funny about this....could one of you call my place and make sure everything's okay there? AH! You can't get through...must get phone fixed...

Had all quotes ready to respond to, and poof. So, what can I remember?...

Tom: My scrabble board was always covered in beer.

And re. AndreaB: Is she single? Was the hand-rubbing in anticipation of a spark? Or just anxiousness to meet someone cool?

Janet: Perhaps you know Susie's brother! But you'd probably be more more inclined to remember his wife...she sounds like quite a piece of work...

Peter: Tweed is a beautiful, historic little town right on highway seven. Geographically, it is exactly the midpoint between Ottawa and Toronto (if you do 7, not the whole 401). Great homemade gluten-free ice cream!

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the same necklaces for literally years with no reaction. The dermatologist at the time repeated over and over again that “allergies are acquired.” Which I knew. But I was not reacting to any other jewelry I was wearing. So it didn’t make any sense to me that it would only be from my necklaces. Anyway, it abated on it’s own. Only to come back with a vengeance months later - and I had not worn any necklaces at all. And the rash involved more area. I was put on Prednisone (oral steroid) taper and it worked well, and the itch and eventually the rash went away. Another trip to a different dermatologist at that time, prior to starting the Prednisone, told me to change all of my hygiene products like soap and shampoo, and to slather on Vaseline. None of which worked, hence the Prednisone. Needless to say, the itch and subsequent rash returned - and now spread everywhere, not just the hollows on both sides of my neck. It’s there, on my upper chest and left breast, both upper arms front and back, and elbows, my entire back, down both of my hips and buttocks and the front of my right thigh. Now the back of that right thigh is starting to itch as well. Also my lower right forearm and middle knuckle on my left hand since going gluten free. I’m just itching everywhere all the time. It keeps me awake, or wakes me up when I do fall asleep. I’m trying my best not to scratch, but it’s nearly impossible! I’ve been using a dry washcloth to rub instead of scratching. And I have used cool wet washcloths which help, but only lasts for a few minutes before starting up again. I’m pretty much at my wit’s end. Just waiting for something to indicate what’s really going on so I can do SOMETHING to stop it!

However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer to abate. Instead of relief from the Dapsone, I had adverse reactions so had to stop it. After 2 months on it, if hadn’t helped with the itching at all, and I understand it usually helps in the first few days if it’s going to. My itch and rash actually got worse on the Dapsone and with going gluten free - which lead me to question whether I was getting glutined from other products I am using. It’s like a huge puzzle trying to put all these pieces together to somehow make it fit and make sense. Right now, myself and my doctor are perplexed.
