Happy New Year Nikki - How's 2008 lookin' so far? Are we going to like it?

Our plans just fizzled. We were suppose to go to the neighbors across the street. I called to find out what time to come and what to bring and was informed it was cancelled due to lack of interest/too many people out of town. Bah!!!!

I now have a new plan. After putting the kids to bed, I will make myself a toasted almond (Kalhua, Amaretto, & Ice Cream) and watch Chicago (I have it on DVD)!

OMG!!!!!!!!! my mom was here, photo shoot of the girls and me for my fabulous idea of New Year's cards, managed to get even Stinker up on the couch.......I look rather okay, for once.....she took about 40 pictures, in two sets, on my digital.......and EVERY SINGLE ONE blurry beyond recognition. :blink:

Do you not see that this is perfect for New Year Eve pictures? It's an artistic representation of how you all were feeling and all that.

And has anybody heard if the special adhesive garland (ie, duct tape) was all that Alex needed to finish off her tree?

Yes!! We finally got our tree to stand up with a combination of rope and duct tape. My dad thought it was hilarious when he saw it.

Happy New Year!!!

I hope 2008 is happy and healthy for everyone

It's still long!

A couple months ago I cut about three inches off .... I had lost so much hair that when it grew back about six inches of ends looked really bad because what didn't fall out had really bad breakage ... I have about three inches of ends that still need cut but I'm letting it grow a little more first.

It does need a good cut once in a while, doesn't it? :)

John got some much needed rest this weekend and we are off tomorrow, he was off at 12 today. I think that helped!!!!

Patti I love your hair!!!

We are watching Jon and Kate plus 8. Those parents are always quarrelling....I think that is why John likes it.

Just a quick visit to say HAPPY NEW YEAR, SILLIES.

I know some stuff about cats, but feline behavioUr is a special subject in itself. They understand it, but tell us humans very little. We don't know how our tortoiseshell knows when we are finished dinner, but she does. She knows that it is time to ask for treats. We can finish our salads and get up--nothing. If we are planning a dessert, nothing happens after the main course. But when we finish the last course, whatever that may be, she knows!

Other cat behavioUr questions I will leave to next year to ponder.

Janet, it is good to finally see you. Patti, you are looking good.

Nikki, you are getting to understand me too well. ;)

Emily, keep an eye on the yeti. A New Year may bring forth uninhibited exuberance about the future causing him to exhibit unlimited enthusiasm for 2008. Be careful you don't step in it! :o

HAPPY NEW YEAR Sillies!!!! (I have an hour and a half to go....)

Amanda, I watch John and Kate Plus 8, SIX 3 year olds is madness, craziness! I just stare and shake my head in awe at all the chaos :lol: I kinda like Kate, she's really spunky.

OMG Emily, I was reading through catching up and I almost had a pee in my pants moment when you said you wake up with the 2 cats staring at you and amazingly enough the yeti is in right there in the middle of them staring too.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Sorry Susie, that is where our similarities in tastes in movies end because I LOVE Chicago and Moulin Rouge, in fact Moulin Rouge is probably on my top 5 favorite list.

And YES, do it! Run around Stepford with the Zombie guy banging your pots and pans as loud as you can. Better yet take your Iroquis skull crusher with you, nobody will notice a thing.....make sure you capture this kodak moment for us all.

Janet and Carla, that's so neat you guys met up. I'll have to go back and check out the avatar, and Patti's too!

Feel better Nikki!

Bev you too!

I got this cute email with Garfeild, member him? It said something like we all get fat when we get older because we have retained so much information in our brain that there's no more room so it spills over into our body :lol:

*edit, great picture of you Janet and Carla.

And Patti you look gorgeous!! Are you by chance wearing your new Everyday Mineral make-up??!?!? :lol:

Welcome to 2008, everybodyyyyy!

I'm the FIRST silly to post this year! I think I should have some sort of honoUrary mention...no crown or royal posting, please (Gasp! Which is coming up, is it not? The big 500th page?!))...But I do notice some after midnight postings, my time, from last night. So I guess I'm not cutting it--once again, a little late. :rolleyes:

Great party last night. We wanted to disguise the yeti somewhat, as we figured that he may terrify the little kids. We could find nothing that would cover him enough, and/or that was big enough. Finally, the light bulb went off. I rushed to my husband's garden-fresh hockey bag, pulled out the equipment, and on it went.

Just got the helmet, visor, and cage on his head, pads had to really stretch. He accompanied us to the party as a European relative on the National Slovenian U21 team. Amazing...no one asked why he came to the party in his full gear. No one stared and then left the room as I introduced him (like at OTHER get-togethers of the holidays)... <_<

John is still recovering, he has a viral infection....he just cannot face marriage :)

:lol::lol: ...THAT'S why my DH gets many colds!! :rolleyes:

Amanda--we're in for the night, too. :) Got the tree and the decorations taken down and put away.

ALL the decoration are GONE! AWAY!! Feels like Christmas never happened!! :rolleyes:

OMG Emily, I was reading through catching up and I almost had a pee in my pants moment when you said you wake up with the 2 cats staring at you and amazingly enough the yeti is in right there in the middle of them staring too.

He was staring quite a bit at the party last night...mostly at the family cat. Later I realized he was probably trying to see out of the visor and cage, as it was so tight and fogged up. Kept tripping, heading into walls...I thought he was inebriated, but no--he just could not see. :blink:

Janet and Carla, that's so neat you guys met up. I'll have to go back and check out the avatar, and Patti's too!

BIG-time jealousy, here!! Gret pic of you two!

Maybe my sister looks like your sisters - 'cause I don't think she looks that much like me. However, the pic of your oldest daughter looks a LOT like my niece.

Undecorating starts tomorrow. The problems is where to put all the crap presents that the kids got.

My quiet New Years was nice. I had a few Cosmo's which were good. I woke up at 7 this morning and came out on the couch...My big cat was there and he made room for me...a true gentlecat and then I woke up late....few minutes ago and the cat is still here and keeps nudging me as I type.

We have a New Years dinner at MIL's to go too, don't really want to go either...

Happy New Years Sillies!!!!!

Lucky is waving his paw at all of you!!

      Sprouts packaged roasted, salted nuts - says "made in a facility that processes wheat" - has anyone had a problem?

      I never buy any nuts from a facility that processes wheat. It’s not worth the risk. Surprisingly, Trader Joe’s nuts do not come a factory that processes wheat, and I do not react to them. I am sensitive to gluten.

      If all testing is now completed you may want to let your doctor know that you are starting a gluten-free diet.

      As long as the B Comlex is gluten-free, it should be helpful to you, especially since you're recently diagnosed and your villi are in the recovery process. You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have.

      As I mentioned before I’m pretty new to this. I’m about a month into being completely gluten-free. But I’m still having issues with fatigue, loss of appetite, and gas pain. I’ve started taking the B complex, and was hopeful, but that would help me get past especially the fatigue and the loss of appetite. But now I just read a more recent post where somebod...

You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

I’ve started taking the B complex, and was hopeful, but that would help me get past especially the fatigue and the loss of appetite. But now I just read a more recent post where somebody is saying that the B complex is not necessarily good for us?  I was very comfortable with the B complex because our bodies shed excess B vitamins. But now I just looked it up and B vitamins can cause gas and bloating.  As I mentioned, that’s one of my biggest symptoms, and I also think it’s directly connected to my loss of appetite, which, of course is connected to my fatigue.  I’m so confused I don’t really know what to do now?
