I hear that San Diego has close to perfect weather pretty much year round.

Yes, but if everyday is paradise, how will you remember to appreciate it? It's the eight feet of snow (or in Seattle's case 100 straight days of rain) that makes you appreciate the stray ray of sunshine.

Sunshine smile ---------> :D

Curly Leighsa's summaries :lol: and Jess just slapped Spruezee the Smelly (she and I have similar obsessions with all things that smell good!!!!!!!!!!). OUCH!!!!!!!!

:D Bevvie, I'd consider it an honoUr to look like you ;)

Oh gawd- I know I should just say thank you and say no more (but this year I have gained 30 pounds from the stupid chronic pain med and I feel like a beslubbering idle-headed pignut).

Aw Pataughmn..... :( .......you're gonna get this figured out and then your inner Silly will reappear. You just get yerself better and read along or don't read, whichever you need to do. We'll be here :)

Ptaum- We ain't going anywhere- you do what you need to do sweet guy!

YES!!

HE IS A CHURLISH RUMP-FED MALTWORM!!!!!! :o:lol::lol:

And a roguish guts-griping canker-blossom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:<_<

Gah! Thank gawd, I have superb BP....today it was 112 over 76, as per usual. Something, something, I don't have to worry about......!!

He did have to go and get his BP monitor from the kitchen, where his teenaged son and buddies were seeing how much, and how quickly, their numbers would go up after each successive espresso was pounded back.......

It is an interesting atmosphere in which to be... . . . .. :huh::rolleyes:

Emily- Yeah on the BP. our doctor sounds like the doctor in Running with Scissors!!!!!

Squeezing your butt cheeks.....OMG B)

Can't share anywhere else i know of

Tee hee- very important talent in our ranks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Everyone, I love sharing my favorites with you guys. I just love Victorian houses, the old time charm! The woodwork.....I am going to start daydreaming soon!

Amanda- Me thinks you have GOOD taste- I like Victorians too!!!!!!!

Yes, but if everyday is paradise, how will you remember to appreciate it? It's the eight feet of snow (or in Seattle's case 100 straight days of rain) that makes you appreciate the stray ray of sunshine.

Jess is smackin' people around! Um.....I believe this counts as too much exertion, young lady.......cease and desist. Fer now........

Toadface :lol:

:lol: This is just wackl..........very entertaining........were those boys REALLY drinking espresso and taking BP? methinks there is sumfin' fishy about that....... :lol: One'a Em's tall tales.......

:lol:

I actually did not see these boys mainlining the expresso......I was given this as the explanation as to why doc's monitor was way the hell in the kitchen. He was shaking his head and rolling his eyes as he told me this........and since I have been witness to much stranger situations, I figured he was probably not kidding. Oh! Interesting sideline... .. ....his son looks VERY much like Gene Simmons' son. B)

And he has this dog - - not a Gene Simmons dingo-type, but a 160-pound bull mastiff PUPPY....yes, puppy...still growing. No one loves dogs more than I, but this animal would be ridiculous. His bed is the size of Jack's (and his HEAD is twice bigger than Jack's).....I've never seen such drool in my lifetime, and when he wags his tail things come crashing off tables........incredible! :lol::rolleyes:

Sumphin fer yer readin pleasure--in keeping with the thread title.......

There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo

toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.

Well, Lena is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her

first day promptly at 8:00 AM.

The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the

Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to

rant about the new Employee.

He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up,

putting the entire production line behind schedule.

The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men

march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed

up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're

really beginning to pile up.

At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me

Elmo's. She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.

The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it

around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between

Elmo's legs.

The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter.

After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches

Lena.

'I'm sorry,' he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, 'but I

think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday...'

'Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles.

So Em and Julie will watch the show and you can be like hey my sillie works where they were born. They did the filming for the labor day episode in either May or June. John saw them walking through the hospital.

I like the show, but sometimes the mom acts real snotty. Like loosen up a bit! The kids are so cute though!

Oh so we did a drive-by tonight and the house is precious, now since it is a corner lot, the side of the house with the 2nd floor porch faces the street. But the house next door is very close, which is not uncommon for city living. There is no garage, not even a driveway, there is a lot of parking but I would like to make a driveway so we arent parking on the street. Hopefully we can get in to see it one of these days.

      I think a UTI caused by Aspirin, made me a Celiac

      By jimmydee · Posted

      Let me start by saying that I am self- diagnosed Celiac. I didn't want to pay for tests, because I don't have health insurance and the doctor said I would HAVE to eat gluten for the tests and I am afraid it will kill me. I diagnosed myself by quitting dairy, sugar and gluten for a couple weeks and figured out the problem by process of elimination.  ANYWAYS.......here's why I blame "Aspirin low dose safety coated" for my Celiac Disease.  I started taking regular Aspirin for a couple weeks for back pain and decided to switch to low dose safety coated Aspirin because I thought a smaller dose was safer for regular use. Well about 3 days after starting low dose safety coated aspirin, I got a terrible UTI. I didn't know what to do (should have gone to doctor) I started taking cranberry pills and read Aspirin can cause UTIs, so stopped taking that. A week later, the UTI was getting worse but then my Dad gave me some probiotic pills and the next day I felt better, so I took those for a week and the UTI was gone. About a week later, I bought my family cake and pizza for a birthday party. I ate a whole bunch and there was some leftover the next day, so I ate a bunch again. Welp, that was my first Gluten attack. I was home alone and almost called an ambulance, my stomach was so full of gas I couldn't breathe, I was covered in sweat and thought I was having a heart attack.  Since quitting Gluten I haven't had the "gas attacks" or had the awful constipation that lasts 3 days. So I'm certain I'm Celiac and I absolutely blame low dose safety coated Aspirin, I think it's the time release binder that is the problem, because I was fine with regular aspirin, I was just breaking those into halves or quarters. Actually now that I think about it I may have even used the regular aspirin at other times in my life before that, just not the little low dose safety coated Aspirin, that's what I think caused it. What's weird is my Dad took the low dose safety coated Aspirin for years and years, for it's reported heart benefits, and he never got Celiac.  Anyways, I felt this was important to share, so they can find the cause of this disease, which seems to be affecting more people than ever before. At least Gluten Free Pizza exists, that's been my new staple food in my diet.

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian, We need more information, please.   What homeopathic remedies or medications are you taking now?  Do you still have the blood pressure and other symptoms?  What is included in your diet currently?  Dairy? Oats?  Processed gluten free foods?  Vegetarian?  Other food allergies?  Do you take vitamins?  When gluten is removed from the diet, the body stops making the anti-gluten antibodies that are usually measured in blood tests used to diagnose Celiac disease.  To measure the anti-gluten antibodies, you would have to consume 10 grams of gluten (4-6 slices of bread or equivalent) per day for a minimum of 2 weeks or longer.   A DNA test which looks for the most common genes for Celiac Disease may be a less invasive avenue to pursue.  Has your doctor checked you for nutritional deficiencies? Glad you're here!

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins lost in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.  P.S. I wanted to reiterate that insomnia and weight loss are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses are needed to correct thiamine deficiency. All mitochondria in cells utilize thiamine.  The World Health Organization says to take 500 - 1000 mg per day of thiamine and look for health improvement.  Diets that are high in carbohydrates like rice and gluten require more thiamine.  For every 1000 calories from carbohydrates, we need 500 mg more thiamine.  Thiamine is found in meat.  Few veggies contain thiamine. Can you rise from a squat without assistance?  This is the field test for thiamine deficiency used by WHO.  If you cannot rise easily from a squat you may be thiamine deficient.

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian! So, for the sake of clarity, you have self-diagnosed yourself as having celiac disease but are not officially diagnosed by medical testing. Is this correct?
