Oh, Nikki...sorry you're ill. :( It's only man flu if you whine and complain like a baby. ;)

Really?? Well I never ;) complain so *blows nose* it MUST be an authentic illness !!! *wrapping blanket a little tighter*

Does that mean that you've already got you Christmas stuff down, Sarah?

Tis unlucky to take it down before the 6th Jan!! (the twelve days of christmas an' all that)

And shame on me....I bought another box of the chocolate gummi bears yesterday.....I hid them though after I had a few...

No problem!!....diets don't start until next week ;)

Mornin all!

I was just catching up on all the Sillie news I missed yesterday.....My son and his girlfriend came from NJ, and we all had such a nice day. And yes, there was wine involved :D I'm a fiend :PB)

Our Sarah is back! Stupid Christmas glutenings :angry:

Bevvie wevvie!!! :D

Nikki--you poor thing :( The flu is awful--I hope it doesn't last long....take care, get lots of rest and don't forget the chicken soup ;)

I also need to go on a diet--way too much candy and cookies as of late--and all this talk of marshmallows, caramel and toffee is not helping :lol: M-m-m...toffee.....

Love The Sound of Music! If I had to choose, I would say "My Favorite Things" is my favorite song from it, but all of the music was so good.

I have to say, though, that I can't wait for Desparate Housewives to come back.....

Peter is our sillie oracle---that struck me as so funny. "oracle" :lol:

Was this the first time your son and his girlfriend have visited since you guys have been moved in and unpacked?

I bet that was nice, get to show the house off :)

I spent Saturday with my mom at her house. It was a lot of fun. I exchanged gifts with everyone and got to play with Sabrina. I bought her this Playskool walker/riding toy. She enjoyed the box more than anything. It was an exhausting day though, since I drove 2 hrs to get there and 2 back...by 10 that night I was out. I slept through John watching the patriots/NYG game....darn! LOL :)

Good Morning Emily!

How are you on the last day of 2007?

Well, I just went and executed one of the toughest workouts in years. Pushed myself VERY hard on the treadmill, flames coming off my runners, etc., as damage control. I am not weighing myself...not until next week...or perhaps the week after.. :rolleyes:

Tis unlucky to take it down before the 6th Jan!! (the twelve days of christmas an' all that)

Oh!...Bring on the bad luck...Cannot stand looking at the suff anymore. It's COMIN' DOWN TODAY!!

Love The Sound of Music! If I had to choose, I would say "My Favorite Things" is my favorite song from it, but all of the music was so good.

Yes, I think I'm the only one on the planet who just cannot manage to appreciate all of the SOM score. Now, if we're gonna talk about unforgettable performances and music that is in a class by itself, THIS gets me every time:

Amanda - cute new Av - and excellent captionizing . . . ain't it the truth.

She actually spent Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the following day with her biological mom...and when my mom picked her back up at Child Services on Thursday, she found out the baby hadn't had a change of clothes the entire time she was "home" My mom peered in the diaper bag at all the clean clothes she sent, it was obvious none had ever been touched. Then the one pair of pajamas that she must have worn her whole visit, were literally pitch black....eww! My mom dunked her in the bath tub the minute she got her home.

So after my rant...sorry had to get that off my chest. So I saw her and we all gave her presents on Saturday. She is such a pleasant baby...she has been in the system since birth...her mom has supposedly done almost everything that she needs in order to get her child back. But when the baby's father comes along (mom's boyfriend) she forgets about the baby...even leaving it alone for hours...and now the baby comes back to us dirty. So I guess if the mom screws up again the baby will go for adoption. So in my eyes, why not allow her to keep screwing up and let the baby go to a family who wants her....an adoptive home. The system will keep delaying it and delaying it and by the time she is ready for adoption she could be 3 or 4...if not older and than her chances of getting adopted get smaller and smaller...people want babies. I know some people need those chances to prove themselves but look at the best interest of the kid....give her half the chance to have a great life....

Sorry for the rant.

That was so good--I love musicals! :D

My favorites are "My Fair Lady" and "The Music Man"--I saw the latter twice on broadway during it's run a few years ago. We were there for Craig Bierko's last performance, a Sunday matinee--I'll never forget it.

Nothing beats the original movie, though--this just mkes me happy--

Silvia and Sabrina are only a month apart so that is like having built in playmates too, when Silvia comes to visit twice a week.

Ha! Since we're all in a youtube mood, I'll share what I found while I've been poking around the site. This is perhaps a bit late, but most of us still have our Christmas decorations up, so the mood may still be there:

And OMG, did you notice Crate and Barrell, or was it Williams Sonoma...can't rember, had MARSHMALLOWS wrapped in CARAMEL??? Genius!! I stayed far away from these however.

OMG - how evil - did you know that See's candy has been doing this exact thing for years? 'tis my favorite thing in the store........PURE EVIL!!!!!!!!!

I made homemade marshmallows last night...enjoying them in my coffee now (um, they ARE to be given away).......I guess my no-sugar rule has not gone into effect yet..... :ph34r:

So do I !!!!

(Susie doesn't .. :lol: )

Back to bed....

you guys WON"T believe this....I LOVE Sound of Music!!!!!!!!! :lol: watched it last night, as a matter of fact, for the bazillionth time......there ARE a handful of musicals I do love - mostly from childhood - until I became a cranky-ass jaded adult. :lol:

Christopher Plummer is DELICIOUS in that role...............

NIKKI!!!!!! Man flu!!!!!!!! oh so sorry little kitten, make the boys wait on YOU today!!!!!!!

Oh, Nikki...sorry you're ill. :( It's only man flu if you whine and complain like a baby. ;)

:lol:

Seems a little early for gardening. Does that mean that you've already got you Christmas stuff down, Sarah? And has anybody heard if the special adhesive garland (ie, duct tape) was all that Alex needed to finish off her tree?

hmm......what DID ever become of Alex's evil tree? :lol:

Sorry for the rant.

Amanda........rant away. This is sooooo sad. :( My friend Gail is an attorney for the county, in juvenile court....she has seen some unbelievably heinous things. (she works to get babies/children placed in good homes.) we must pray for little Sabrina to find a good home sooner than later. She looks adorable. I want to PUNISH her stupid crack-wh_ _ _ mother....... (insert angry-faced emoticon)

oops - did I say that????????

I will be watching movies (with blanket) on the sofa...Mmmmm, things just ain't as wild as they used to be.....

Mornin' all. And happy almost (or current?) New Year.

I, um, own all the musicals mentioned so if anyone plans to torture Susie I would suggest kidnap and park her in front of my TV with some heinous musical playing :ph34r:

And maybe Peter can explain to me why my cat feels like knocking me over in the kitchen is the best way to convince me he deserves treats...

Somehow, I missed this....that's horrible :( I have to say I agree with everything Susie said on the subject of the mom. I will keep a good thought for little Sabrina :)

Happy New Year to all the sillies!

And to you too, Donna!

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By trents · Posted

      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you!  Yes - labs are above but Deamidated Gliadin was super high, tTG was a weak positive and Immunoglobulin A was way below normal which gives "bonus points" to the positive tests because it can also cause false negative results.  This information confirms my thinking and I really appreciate your feedback!!!

      By trents · Posted

      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Hi again - I received the biopsy results but haven't had follow up appointment with Dr. yet.  Wondering if you could comment on this: "Duodenum, random, Biopsy (Cold Forceps): MILD VILLOUS BLUNTING WITH PROMINENT INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES, CONSISTENT WITH SPRUE (MARSH TYPE 3A). See Comment. Negative for Infectious Organisms, Dysplasia or Malignancy. COMMENT: While characteristic, the histologic findings are not diagnostic for gluten-sensitive enteropathy / celiac disease. A number of additional entities can enter into the differential diagnosis of celiac disease based on the histologic features, including tropical sprue, bacterial overgrowth / stasis, unclassified sprue, specific food allergies, many drugs including NSAIDs, olmesartan and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and a wide range of autoimmune diseases including adult-onset autoimmune enteropathy, diabetes, thyroiditis, lupus and multiple sclerosis and occasionally common variable immune deficiency. History of drug take, celiac serologies, HLA-DQ status and response to a gluten-free diet might be a key for a definitive diagnosis" They say "consistent with Sprue (Marsh Type 3A)" and then comment that the findings are not diagnostic for celiac disease.  I thought Marsh type 3 was conclusive (and I know that 3A is the best outcome as it relates to intestinal damage). Is this just normal caveat language or am I missing something?  I had appt scheduled for tomorrow but Dr. is sick and now rescheduled to over a week from now.  Appreciate any insight you can offer in the mean time.  Thanks!!
