Still.....a light salad does sound awfully....sappy? feminine?

I believe some of the populace would use the versitile gay in this situation.

Never heard of Corner Gas. Sounds view-worthy!

Where-ah is Sarah??

Roadtrips in unreliable cars always make me imagine every new sound or smell equals imminent disablement. (Is that really a word?)

This is scary! But note- the 3rd paragraph:

"Oh s*&t! It's Baby Man," says one cashier, a Hispanic kid who's heard the legend but has never been a witness to the spectacle. "It's like Sasquatch!" he says. "You don't believe it exists until you see it."

Is this where our yeti has gone? :ph34r: :ph34r:

Gawd....I was reading this a while ago, and honest to gosh I was getting nauseous while i was reading the story. Of course, it could have been dinner not settling right, but wow :o

I'm still kinda queasy (really need that green guy emoticon)

What a story--he was good looking back in the day. Wow.

Um, the doctor DID pull a wooden splinter out of that eye :blink: which could be the problem......but he is not entirely sure. (isn't that comforting?) Prescribed an antibiotic.......we will see.............

Well for Pete's sake! A wooden splinter--that sounds painful. :o Hopefully that was the problem and a few days on the meds will take care of it. Keep us posted.

Don't be scared because things are going so well--you deserve to be happy :)

Thanks for all the nursing encouragement, guys! :wub: It's one of only a couple careers I can see myself being happy with for the rest of my life. I first made the decision a couple years ago, and have just been waiting for the kids to get a little older (and a little healthier, truth be told.) I've been out of college since Luke was a toddler, so finally preparing to go back is VERY exciting for me!

Nurse Sarah? THAT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! You will be great (and hopefully surrounded by McDreamies AND McSteamies!)

An aesthetically pleasing work environment would always be a plus. ;)

And now for something completely different...

I thought I'd share a few of my boys' nicknames.

Lucas (The Engineer): Luke, Mister Man, Big Man, Smarty Pants, Boy Genius.

Ezra (The Adventurer): Ez, Little Man, The Booger (that's from his father :rolleyes: ,) Darth Ezra, Dr. Destructo.

I also torment my sons with ooey gooey endearments: Honey Pie, Sweetie Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Baby Doll, Lovey, and Peanut.

When they do something silly, they are: Goofball, Goober, Crazy Head, and Silly Billy.

:P

Sarah, where do we get this stuff from? Is it from the SNL skits with the Rob Schneider (Richmeister) "makin' copies" guy?

I contort my kids' (and dogs') names all the time.

But I'm currently on a Freddy kick. I call them both Freddy . . . started from "Ready, Freddy?" which progressed to "Are you Freddies ready?" to "Hey, Freddy!" :huh::lol:

Well, it's late and I should be going to bed. It's been a stressful day and I'll tell you guys later after I get through a stressful morning tomorrow . . .Howevah . . .

Susie . . . keep good thoughts! I think a splinter in the eye might cause some weirdy beardy kind of stuff. Will keep my fingers crossed that that is all it was.

Sarah . . . I can see you as a nurse. You've already got all kinds of experience with bodily fluids.

Emily . . . juggling flaming cheese toilets? really? couldn't you come up with something more imaginative than that?

Jess . . . bedhead girl, et al . . . :lol::lol: I think we could all use some good nicknames around here. I'll start thinking about that . . .

tom . . . ROTOFL . . . :lol::lol: . . . What does it mean when I "got that" before I even read your explanation?

Amanda & Patti . . . quit rubbing it in with the Weggies . . . or you won't like the nicknames we come up with for you!!!! :jealousfaceemoticon:

Bev . . . BabyMan? That's just soooooooooooo wrong.

Nikki . . . link us to the Tatt!!!

Night Sillies!!

Eeeeeeeeeeehhhhk how the hell long IS that article?????? I couldn't keep reading.

I did see that the sensationalistic fetish-obsessed weasels got an easy fact wrong, as I kuhhhh-White regrettably saw the CSI episode mentioned. It wasn't CSI:Miami, it was the original Vegas one and was chock-full o' :ewwwface: moments.

So........we got him in today. Um, the doctor DID pull a wooden splinter out of that eye :blink: which could be the problem......but he is not entirely sure. (isn't that comforting?)

What the .. . <_<

Could be? :huh:

Is there another appt so someone WILL become entirely sure???????

a confession: I have a TERRIBLE fear of things going wrong and......

"Perish the thought" indeed . .. . .. .but this isn't exactly one of those Only In Dingoland moments.

These fears seem common, natural & unavoidable, imo.

I thought I'd share a few of boy boys' nicknames.

Heehee :)

Sarah, where do we get this stuff from? Is it from the SNL skits with the Rob Schneider (Richmeister) "makin' copies" guy?

OH!!! I remember my fav!!! :lol: Young McCauley Culkin as a young Richmeister - the "sharpenin' pencils" kid!!!! :lol:

Emily . . . juggling flaming cheese toilets? really? couldn't you come up with something more imaginative than that?

heyyyyyyyy . .. ...if there's some sort of corollary to being Bev'd I think I just had it done to me! :P

Oops . . . sorry tom, didn't mean to Bev you. That's what happens when you don't use actual quotes in your replies, somebody else gets the credit . . . it just seemed like something Emily would say when I was up too late and only the dingo half of my brain was working. My Bad!!!! (just 'cause I know Emily hates that frase :P )

Good Luck Sarah! You will always have to like/love what you are doing, it will make going to work so much easier and less stressful.

We will have jealous faces Patti with W's over our head...LOL!

Good Morning Sillies!

Back at work again, Moody girl has been pleasant towards me this morning. That will be fine with me....since it will make the whole day go easier :)

:lol: I do "Ready, Freddy?" as well. Then Ezra says, "My name... is not... Freddy!!!" At which point I simply MUST reply, "FreddyFreddyFreddyFreddyFreddy!"

Hey, they torture us-- gotta get in a little payback once in awhile. :rolleyes:

Sarah . . . I can see you as a nurse. You've already got all kinds of experience with bodily fluids.

Yep, squeamishness will not be much of an issue for me. (Squeamishness? Squeamiosity??)

Good Luck Sarah! You will always have to like/love what you are doing, it will make going to work so much easier and less stressful.

Thanks, Amanda! I agree. The nursing shortage is bad here too, so a lot of people are going into because it's a guaranteed job. While that aspect is nice, I feel like that's not a good reason to go into nursing. <_< I feel like it takes more than 1/2 a brain and a need for a paycheck. Nurses should WANT to be nurses.

Morning, Sillies!

Don't see Amanda here, yet. Hope her day goes more smoothly than yesterday. Amanda, even though it wasn't you reduced to tears by SL (Stalkerlady), you are still having the stress of a negative, at times unhealthy work enviornment. You should not underrate yesterday's shenanigans as something that should be disregarded because you weren't made into a blubbering mess. I really admire you for gritting your teeth and suffering fools gladly....but just take care of number one--you. :)

Back to Silly.....!

Got a big playoff hockey game tonight....DD is pumped. This team is the dirtiest in the division--rare at any level for girls. They slash, hit and check (this is non-contact) with reckless abandon, and are apparently coached to do so. They also (this makes me shudder) swear at and threaten our girls when they get in our faces as they're tied up with the puck...things like " you f**kin' li'l witch...watch for me"....They're clever, as most of it is missed by the less-than-stellar refs.

DH had Sophie out in the driveway last night, showing her ways to dodge a player who is charging into her. The trick is to try and make the save at the same time, which in DH's books seems as important as avoiding injury..... Hockey dads.... <_<:angry:

Nikki- I saw your Starry Starry Night picture, I have got to let you know I have that in a purse, I will try to find a picture and mail to you. My sister loves that painting, she even painted a mural of it on her bedroom wall when she lived at home. She has pillows, blankets, you name it. The purse is hers but I borrowed it on my honeymoon and forgot to return it :)

OMGAWD- why does it sound dirty to say we saw Nikki's tatt? :P :P

All I can say is OUCH. But I hope that's the problem. My sis had scratched 2 out of 3 layers of her cornea a month ago. She has NO idea how and the doc told her one more layer and every day would have been "Talk like a Pirate Day" :ph34r: Hopefully the abx will take care of it.

I love it!!!!!!! Kids crack up when you call them names. I personally like GooberHead, goof ball. I call my niece Olivia Princess Gooney Goo Goo (from the old Eddie Murphy skit). Her reply is always "I am NOT a gooney goo goo, I'm OLIVIA!!!!!!!"

I contort my kids' (and dogs') names all the time.

Angus is now Dingus, Dingie or Genghis. Weve actually been trying to trick him with "Genghis, KAHN!" instead of Angus, come.

      I'd like to second supplementation.  Around the time of my diagnosis and for a good while afterwards I had twitching muscles, including my face, as well as pins and needles and numbness.  We do have tremors in my family anyway, regardless of being coeliac, so I can't really comment on that. If you can find out where you are with your iron levels and B12, that's a good start.  I am not sure where you are posting from but in the UK normal lab results for B12 are quite a bit lower than in other countries, so you might find if you are borderline you will get some improvement by continuing to supplement that.   I found taking magnesium also incredibly helpful against facial twitches. I don't know about you, but all these symptoms increased my anxiety levels as I was worried about them.  That only served to make the symptoms worse.  So it might be worth looking into addressing any underlying anxiety issues.   I still notice that if I'm nervous, or worried, my blood sugar levels are down, some of the symptoms comes back temporarily.  It's like there is still a bit of a weakness there.

      Hello, @Itsabit, Your journey sounds very similar to mine.   I'm very concerned about your diet since you say you don't eat a lot of meat, which is the main source of B vitamins.  Nutritional deficiencies go along with Celiac Disease.  Blood tests are not accurate measurements of deficiency states.  The body robs stored vitamins from organs to circulate in the bloodstream to supply the brain and heart.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change. I have a hypersensitivity to sulfites, so much so that I had to switch my toothpaste to one that doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  SLS can cause oral irritation as a side effect, too.   My mouth would burn and I avoided certain foods.  Dapsone contains sulfites, as do antibiotics.  Treatment with sulfites can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency disorder because sulfites cut thiamine in two making it useless. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35506963/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10506142/ I have an allergy to nickel, also.  Zinc helps keep other metals in balance in the body.  Zinc is also terribly important to skin health and oral health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11274920/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ Thiamine (Vitamin B 1) deficiency disorder symptoms and altered thiamine metabolism can occur after radiation or chemo.   Thiamine and Niacin B 3 are important in nerve conduction.  When I was very malnourished, I had paresthesia that made me feel itchy all over, and made my dermatitis herpetiformis extremely unbearable.  The form of Niacin that causes flushing, Nicotinic Acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) is beneficial because the flushing helps open the small capillaries in the skin which allows the antibodies to be cleared and disposed.  Pellagra can occur in Celiac Disease.   I had it, and my doctor didn't properly diagnose it, either.   I had a rash around my neck, Casal's Necklace, along with a blistering rash on my arms and any skin exposed to the sun.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/10/4/169 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11722086/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6780714/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10229844/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ You should be checked for more than just B12 deficiency.  The eight B vitamins work together, and we need more of them when we're trying to heal.  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete them if not needed. Have you had your Vitamin D level checked?  Vitamin D regulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.   I hope you can find some benefit from my experiences.  Keep us posted on your progress.   P.S.  When trying not to itch the dermatitis herpetiformis, if you press gently on a large area (press with your whole hand) above the itchy spot, the itchiness goes away.  The bigger area of stimulation drowns out that one jangling dermatitis herpetiformis itchy nerve in the brain. For skin care products, I use tallow balm which is absorbed better into the skin than petroleum products or plant products.  Tallow balm (Vintage Traditions is my favorite) helps my Dermatitis Herpetiformis spots look and feel better quickly.  Tallow soap and olive oil soap is beneficial as well.

      Hello, @Jack Common, I know how frustrating health mysteries can be. Perhaps you're having a reaction to the medication you were given for the giardiasis you mentioned in another post. The giardiasis infection would account for the high Igg results.  Have you been reinfected? The site I've linked below has lots of information about the long term consequences of being treated with a medication frequently prescribed for giardiasis infection.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-doctor-denial/ https://hormonesmatter.com/?s=metronidazole https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3870550/ Please let us know if your symptoms may be due to this reaction to the prescription for giardiasis. Best wishes.
