Talked to Susie yesterday - asked me to relay that she's .. ..uh-oh wth DID she say .. ...uhhhh . ...<crap - maybe should've written it down> . . .well ....no silly in her, for one. :(

The poor thing :(

I'm glad you got to talk to Souczie, Pataughmn.

Yeah, it's pretty humid too. It's supposed to break by the middle of the week. 76 sounds heavenly! :D

A heinous, oppressively humid day today here, as well....did many errands in the malls, and staggered when I hit the outdoors.

That is great that you spoke to Shoozle, Ptaoughmghmn. I'm so sorry that she's having this rough go.... . . ..I do so wish we could help her. :(

So, what do all good Canadian parents do on smotheringly hot evenings like this? They take their daughters to a hockey clinic! I'm off to the arena with Soph. Think I'll walk onto the ice and lie down, just for a few moments..... :huh::lol:

Amanda seems to be hiding. She hasn't posted in over a week, and last time she was here she was an "anonymous member."

Amanda, where are you?

It was so bloody hot here today :hotsweatyface:

THIS is so true, also, Patti! I think about your decorating projects, yer enzymes, how Allo is doing.....why Ptaoughmghmn hasn't checked in, how Shouzle's managing, Sarah's household, the various vacations..... . .all of this as I lie abed in the night or in the early am..... :rolleyes::lol:

I have to second this (third this?).....I was in a fancy shmancy 5 star hotel yesterday, maybe 6 star it was so nice :huh:, and I had to pee. Which meant the dreaded public restroom <_< , that I so hate using. So the first thing that pops into my mind when I go in is, I wonder if something funny will happen to share with me Sillies :lol:

I dunno what occurs when that happens :blink: ....I must have got caught up in that time sucking vortex called 'life' :lol: (hate it when that happens :angry: )........like an alien abduction (withOUT probing thankyou veddy much :rolleyes: ) I don't really remember the specifics......just get the occasional flashback :o

:lol::lol: Nikki

....and you and Sven double timing it it today, what stamina you have :D

So ..... I finally quit the unexplainable procrastination (not gonna write the paragraphs of shaky theories) & have a Naturopath appt for next Sat. :)

Tom, this is good news!

Pataughmn--I missed this somehow, but great news on the ND appt!!! :)

HI

boy this heat today sure 'zapped' the mojo out of me. :ph34r: Just wanted to 'plop' like Patti

I went back through some emails Amanda sent me before she was to leave.

She was at work on Monday as there was too much to be done there before she could go.

If i remember correctly, they were to say at the light house in the finger lakes on tues. but she didn't say how long she would be gone.

I know she was so sick before the trip......and i was hoping she'd be better.

Amanda.......we hope your home and feeling better.

we miss ya girlfriend.

nite all ........taking this sticky and tired old body to bed.......hope the cat has left room for me.......he fought me for my side of the bed last nite and bit my toe when i tried to get in............... what a stinker.

catch up tomorrow.

Judy

Welcome back Amanda.............when ever you appear :rolleyes:

The board was down for about 24 hours, but Scott had to use a backup to recover. The backup was taken late Sunday, so everything that happened on Monday has been lost forever. :( :(

So yes, we are created new posts with post and page numbers that were used already.

OMGAWD- I thought I was going to have to check into Silly Rehab- I had the shakes, gas and paranoia from withdrawal.

Ptaoughmghmn, methinks you may well be onto something....I think you're right - - there WAS a page 1139 yesterday.

What's going on?

What does it all mean??

We are suddenly and mysteriously kept off the forum for a day..... ..odd, code-like warning keeps appearing: an IPS DRIVER that won't load... . ..then we're allowed partial access, but no thread entry... .. . .

Does Scott have a personal driver for this job, that takes him about and drops him off at clandestine locations? A problem with him, perhaps.......

Why the sudden repetition of page 1139?

What is this cryptic acronym IPS?... .. . . .

Hmmmmmmm.......

Investigate Philly Sillies??!

Patti! Scott could have shut it all down to do a vigorous background inquest on us.......

Mygawd........

Our hotel room number in Philadelphia........

1139.........

My most clever posts were probably on those pages!!!! :angry:;):lol: ........They've fallen into the great abyss.......to live on only in the least foggy-brained of Sillyville citizens :huh:

So how does this affect our illustrious queen?????

This would extend her reign beyond the usually accepted number of pages.........but if noone can see the missing posts........did they ever really exist?.....are we destined to repeat what we cannot acknowledge????..........WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??????????? :blink:

      @sillyyak52 Welcome to the forum! I'm just about to go away for a couple of days but read this and just had to reply.  I am so sorry for what you are going through... it is really tough. Perhaps finding a short video online which explains the seriousness of celiac disease might help.  Just sit your family down and say, "Please just watch this one video with me."    There is one, here for example, on Coeliac UK, which I think is convincing - What is Coeliac Disease? https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/resources/videos-for-newly-diagnosed-patients/?&&type=r&set=true#cookie-widget I was watching a TV comedy programme we have in the UK over Christmas called Doc Martin.  If you get this programme where you live, there is a case on the final ever episode (Christmas 2022).  The seriousness of celiac disease is explained in that episode,. Perhaps watching something rather than reading would help?  But if you are after something short to read, I am not sure what country you live in but you might be able to find a coeliac charity that produces pamphlets, or perhaps your GP could let you have something?  Perhaps even better, would you be able to attend the GP surgery with your mother and get your GP to explain the seriousness of not complying with the diet?

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease just over a year ago. I never had any gastrointestinal symptoms before I started eating gluten free, and the diagnosis did come somewhat as a shock. The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were fatigue, and an ongoing Iron and Vitamin D deficiency that worsened even when taking supplements. I visited my GP with these symptoms, which consequently led to a positive celiac blood test and eventually a positive biopsy. Since starting the gluten free diet, I no longer have any deficiencies or unexplained fatigue. When I am glutened now, I experience bloating, severe constipation (that often affects my sleep!) and an onset of fatigue.  My family does not believe that I actually have celiac disease, and thinks that all these symptoms are a 'placebo' effect of being told the 'wrong' diagnosis. Ever since my diagnosis, they have constantly been telling me that I should seek a second opinion. I really don't see the point of getting a second opinion. I trust that the blood test and biopsy were accurate, and the improvement in my blood tests, fatigue and the symptoms I experience now when I now accidentally consume gluten are enough for me. On top of that, if I were to seek a second opinion now, I believe I would need to do a gluten challenge to get an accurate diagnosis, which I am definitely not willing to do just to please my family.  Because they don't believe in my diagnosis, they think that I take the diet 'too seriously'. They are always comparing my celiac disease to my siblings' mild peanut allergy, and it is so exhausting trying to explain it when they just look at me like I am crazy. For example, since my siblings can eat products with 'may contain peanuts' with no issues, they tell me I am ridiculous for avoiding 'may contain gluten' products when possible.  I am also very careful about cross-contact in restaurants, which they will make similar comments about. I have been told are that "I need to stop being so fussy because I live in the real world". Recently, when I did not want to buy my birthday cake from a local bakery that confirmed their gluten free items are not coeliac-safe, my family told me "Well, who cares? They said it's gluten free. What more could you want? Do you need to take them to court to prove it's gluten free so you'll eat it?" It is truly so upsetting that after a year they have made no effort to understand celiac disease, and why I am so strict or 'fussy'. I have thought about giving them information to read, but my mom never ever reads anything. Not even her own emails, and will often make me read things and summarise them for her. She is honestly the one who is most difficult and very obviously still sees my celiac disease as something that I choose to believe.  How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?
