How about litter boxes :rolleyes:;)

:lol: yes, Jess...you may have a lineup of 'em after tomorrow.....

Got a busy weekend going... Tonight, Luke's class is putting on a song and dance routine at the PTO fundraiser festival. Tomorrow he has a b-day party to go to, and Sunday Ezra has a b-day party to go to. Wish me luck!

Sounds great, Sarah! And YOU sound great....busy, in a wonderful way. Not rushing around with sick kids or filling yer own prescriptions. Terrific! :lol:

I've pretty much decided that the next remodel will be to turn the carport into a sunroom. All cat related bathroom facilities will be moved out there.

This means delaying the kitchen remodel, but I think will be ultimately easier since I could move the washer dryer and fridge outside while the kitchen was being done (assuming I have any money with which to do the kitchen after the sunroom :( )

"When you have a big blister that's in a weightbearing area, you almost have to drain it," says Clare Starrett, D.P.M., a professor at the Foot and Ankle Institute of the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. "They can get so full they get like a balloon."

Oakely dokely...so pop it it is

Also, blisters that are likely to break on their own should be drained by you, our experts say. That way, you can control when and how the blister is opened, instead of leaving it to chance.

What??...like IN your new shoes AT a bbq.....no that's NOT GOOD (ew)

:unsure: scared..........pass the needle......

Patti - dates here are nearly always dusted with flour :angry:

Nighty-nite Pieghter -_- ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

:lol: excellent new spelling

Morning, Sillies!

Yesterday I looked out the back window where the two of them were running around, and Gus is standing there panting, eyes half-closed, and Elsie is dodging around him, nipping at his bum and chest. Then she manages to get his collar between her teeth (accidentally, I'm sure), plants her front feet and starts tudding madly..."C'mon, c'mon, new friend! Don't just stand there! Life is beautiful! Please run by my side with reckless abandon!!" Gus now notices me in the window, and stares, a combination of this :huh: and this <_< .

Well, Elsie did give up, and just stood there chewing on his collar.

:wub: warms the cockles o' me 'eart!

On the sunny side (hee hee), it's supposed to be a delightful weekend here--sunny, warmer, and no rain! B) We may see the new Indiana Jones movie :)

Patt-eigh - - some scenes were filmed in Phrezno! (look for any scenes at an airport) So - some excitement here. (yeah because nothing EVER goes on in this loser town :huh: )

Even the Dentist was psurprised (did I get it?)

:lol: Yes, you did!

I have a bbq to go to tomorrow (no rain PLEASE)- got me outfit sorted -

:blink: outfit sorted, for a barbecue? OMG - Nicola needs to spend some time in California. We would never think of sorting an outfit for a barbecue.......(unless it was yer company picnic er sumfin') We simply throw on a ratty tshirt, shorts (or comfy pants/jeans) and some flip-flops. :lol: Oh, unless you're some college-age hottie who has to impress the guys.......then more care is taken to ensure that your hair and boobs look good......

After breakfast, I let him open it, and while we're trying to figure out how it works-- he sprayed liquid candy right into my left eye. Omg, it burned! Actually it still burns a little.

Hopefully, that'll be the only injury of the day.

:lol: :lol: sorry to laugh......but may I remind you phine pholks of SArah's entry into sillyville? 'Twas a Tostito in the eye, and brilliant. :lol:

Part deux coming up........

Did you know that Dole :angry: processes their dates in a facility that processes wheat?

I sure didn't since I've been snacking on them for the last week.

I can't believe I'm still playing the "what made me sick" game after all this time :blink:

For the love of Pete! :angry: (sorry PeOter--not you ;) )

Patti- POOPY PANTS!!!!!!!!! No more dates with dates. that is SO lame!

I am not sure if Dole does Craisins or not but those have made me feel sick when I would eat them....

Yes- Craisins are made by Ocean Spray. I've never had a problem with them.

How about litter boxes :rolleyes:;)

Oh DUDE- I am a litter box pro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol::unsure::blink:

Lordy, I'm tired! Been cleaning most of the day. A friend dropped by with her daughters. Her older daughter is 3 1/2, and Oh... mah... gah... She and Ezra have been in love since she was born, I swear. The cuteness that occurs when they're together is indescribable!

Speaking of Ezra... he had the off of school, and we ran into a convenience store after dropping Luke off at school. I told him he could pick out a small piece of candy, and he chose this tiny little spray bottle of liquid candy (sugar.) After breakfast, I let him open it, and while we're trying to figure out how it works-- he sprayed liquid candy right into my left eye. :blink: Omg, it burned! Actually it still burns a little. <_<

Hopefully, that'll be the only injury of the day.

Ezra and his little luv sound SO cute. :wub: :wub: :wub:

Ow on the liquid-candy-in-the-eyeball!!!!

And yes, good luck.

Hope y'all have a luverly weekend! And before you leave the office, you might want to reconsider Open Original Shared Link :lol: :lol:

Oh I wish you guys could see them! First of all, she is gorgeous-- curly light brown hair, huge blue eyes, and her mom dresses her in kind of hippie boho clothes. They sit and talk, and arrange "dates." He understands her better than anyone, including her mom! When they left, he walked her to the car, holding hands. :wub:

:lol: :lol: Conservatory.........we don't call them that here, if part of a house......do we? :unsure:

OMG sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have survived my menstrual psychosis......'twas a VERY bad case this time. Truly Jekyll and Hyde. Now back to.........normal? :lol:

but quite accident-prone lately. Let me tell you about it:

Two days ago, SOOO violently windy here (LOVED IT!!) that my front door slammed shut, wif my middle finger in it. I now have a blackened, construction worker fingernail. Really lovely.

Then, a burn from the oven on my wrist. Also lovely. Combined w/ the poison oak scabs/red marks, I look slightly leprous.

So, yesterday morning, whilst watching the very early news around 6:30, these goofball locals are giving away a fascinating-looking exercise DVD to the first person who emails. I jump up, coffee in hand, but slip on a magazine on the floor. :ph34r: I knock into the chair and coffee sloshes everywhere......so there goes my free DVD.

But the worst of all..........

Last night, Kissey is here - he's on one couch and I'm on the other (very unusual for the conjoined Kisseys) and I jump up once again, glass of pink guava nectar and orange juice in hand (thank God 'twas not red wine). So, my living room couches are facing each other, w/ a huge coffee table in between - a U-shape configuration. So, whilst I am arising from the couch, I slip on yet another magazine (am currently going through a big magazine purge).....and a slow-motion but very dramatic fall ensues. My limbs are flailing, all a-kimber.....legs go out from under me......guava juice everywhere.......and I fall dramatically to the ground, landing on my tailbone.....but not before I bear the full brunt of the impact - my left breast lands on the corner of the coffee table...... yyyYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW

:o :o :o

I can't even describe the pain to you..........caught my breath, landed on the floor, Kissey pulls the table away from me and rushes to my side.........so I am momentarily speechless from the pain......but within no less than 30 seconds I yell out (very Bree VandeKamp-like )- - "go get some rags!!!!!!!! OMG - there's juice all over my coffee table!!!!" :lol::blink:

and Kissey just says - - honey! - don't worry about that - you just need to sit here for a minute (he initially thought I broke my arm) :blink:

So - - today - the pain is still so intense - tail bone and breast and left rib area - body aches........but I am fortunate that nothing worse than that happened.

:huh:

Extreme klutz, here. :ph34r: I have heard that pre-menopausal women can be quite klutzy, is this true?

More later - - must eat sumfin' - - -

Right eye is in intense pain . . . I need me a pirate patch. I loaned out a jacket about a week and a half ago and got it back yesterday. Twas a bit chilly today and I've been wearing it. It donned on me that she had obviously been wearing perfume and the odor/vapors are bothering my sinuses which in turn bothers my eyes and teeth (had an xray once at the dentist and he remarked how my sinuses sit right on a coule of main nerves for my teeth/jaw/whatever) . . . arrrrggghhh . . . have taken me some arrrrrdvil and lookin' for some relief soon.

Twas another long day at school . . . library volunteer today. I need to get me a job so I can actually get paid!!! But . . . I want to take off whenever I want, be home before the kids and make lots and lots of money. Anybody got any ideas??

Patti- POOPY PANTS!!!!!!!!!

Well, that just sounds like you're calling Patti names . . . :lol::lol:

Susie, it does indeed sound like you need to de-mag your house. A mojito will make those aches feel better.

Nikki, I think mojitos work on blisters, too.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      By trents · Posted

      I'm a little confused. In your second post you said, "but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy" while in your most recent post you say, "I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      By Maura Gissen · Posted

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      By trents · Posted

      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's.  Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?
