here's something - I really do miss hamburgers but - OMG - positively vomitous! :blink:

Open Original Shared Link

I want to know how many calories that burger was............probably enough for 2 weeks!

There can not be a devil child worse than the new student we got yesterday. He is a 5th grader and is on his 5th foster home. He was abusive to the last family. He has a mentor that goes with him everywhere....even on Saturdays. Everything you say to him creates a conflict. We were sugary sweet to him but it didn't matter. When I told him to copy a sentence, he said he didn't know what to do. He made fun of a boy with a speech problem. I nicely told him that he can't help the way the words come out of his mouth and we don't make fun of people for things like that. He said, "I bet YOU have!"

One boy asked him who the man was with him. He replied, "He's my mentor. DIDN"T YOU HEAR HIM TALKING?" I said, "Well maybe he didn't. I didn't hear him either." He turned to me and said, "I WASN"T TALKING TO YOU!" I was in a different classroom when it exploded. They were sitting in a circle reading a book and he kept talking. The teacher tried to get him to be quiet and he went off about hating her and the school and wanting to kill people. He was taken away to the "quiet room" and held in a lock hold while he ranted and cussed. He wasn't in school today, but will be back on Mon.

The stress that day was extreme. The other kids were in shock....and scared. I have to wonder what has happened in his life to make him that angry.

Evening, All!

The Ottawa Wildcats lost this evening. . . ... :( Close game, 2-1. I HATE being the goalie's mom!! The goalie takes it all for the team, and a loss is always their fault (in their eyes). I just told her to always remain cool, stay alert, and keep an eye out along the edges of the ice for my cursor. . . . . .......

:rolleyes::lol:

How are you feeling tonight, Amanda? This was a big, hectic day for you. . . . hope you managed okay.

Hi Sillies

Still sick...but guess it will run its course.

Just got back from a road trip to my mom's to drop Landen off. It was a lot of fun. Jen and I got to my moms about 4 and then we went to a Halloween street fair in my moms town....It is cold there.....Maybe high 40's today?? I just know it was brrr!!!! We stayed with Landen until 7 and then we snuck out so he didnt see us. He was playing with my sister Carrie and all the toys.

Brooklyn is so precious and the two babies played together nicely. She was even smiling :)

Jen and I stopped to see Tammy on the way in Wilkesbarre. We visited with her and hubbie and Silvia for a bit. It was a great time and much laughing in my car.

Now I am pooped....The big move takes place tomorrow....yikes!!!!

Sad indeed

My son is in NO way as bad as this, - but not ALLOWED to go to school nonetheless :rolleyes:

and by god!...one thing I will NOT tolerate is making fun of those less fortunate than yourself

I hope (with my son) that our parental guidance will eventually offset all his behavioural probs - and he will possibly turn out to be a decent human being! :rolleyes:

...but for sooo many kids out there, school is the only place where they have come across rules and expectations :(

On a happier note t'is Al's 16th birthday TODAY!!!!

☻☻☻

☼

.....he woke us up at the crack of dawn :rolleyes:

He's gone to his 'Saturday club'......he burst through the doors screeching ''It's me birthday everyone!!!!!!!! '' :lol:

Birthday cake making (gluten-free victoria sponge with buttercream AND raspberry jam middle) will shortly be made by my resident chef Terry :P

GADS!!!....thankfully there are no calories at work on a Saturday ;)

...and how sweet.....every year he always gets money and a card from the LSA (learning support assistant) he had right back from nursery (kindergarten) - she never forgets ♥

Susie, hope your back's eased up a bit

{{{hugs}}} for me Bevel

...and where's Jules?????

Have a great Saturday pholks :D

:( So totally sad. My friend Lauren is in quite a bad school and there were a few like this last year.......they kept getting suspended and then expelled - some of them in several schools already by 5th grade..............Lauren and I decided that they needed three things: divine intervention/miracle (and she's an atheist :blink: ), complete dietary overhaul, and seriously tough love. Oh, and different parents in most cases. The parents are on crack. :(

Birthday cake making (gluten-free victoria sponge with buttercream AND raspberry jam middle) will shortly be made by my resident chef Terry :P

Wow. Such a sad story. The poor kid :(

Evening, All!

The Ottawa Wildcats lost this evening. . . ... :(

Well, I don't think it's fair for the goalie to assume responsibility for the team losing :angry: I know Sophie gave 110%, and has nothing to pheel sorry for. Hope she pheels better today :)

I hope (with my son) that our parental guidance will eventually offset all his behavioural probs - and he will possibly turn out to be a decent human being! :rolleyes:

I'll bet he does, Nik. Kids are like sponges in a way and they see how we lead our lives--at some point I think your son will come around ;)

And I want a piece of that cake! :P

:lol: Um, ahem, I think the correct term is emotiquota. :lol:

:lol::lol: New Sillie term--just coined!! :D

Glad yer back is better, Soozle--now don't go back out there and over-do!! ;):D

Susie, it is a shame that Annie is not the digger that Stinker was (Tika's Excavation Industries Ltd.). She could be out there right now, spraying and tossing dirt everywhere. . . . . . :lol:

Well, Josie is a bit of a digger . . . I could send her right over . . . but she prefers to dig things that have been freshly planted so she may not be too useful.

Nikerler, I got a question fer ya . . . If sponges are cakes, than what do you call yer . . . um . . . sponges??

You'll get 'em next time Sophie!!!

well, I don't think I can take credit fer "EMOTIQUOTA" - - 'twas Em, I believe?

and my back.................ugh. Just a mess. :( Weez and I just went on a walk and I felt and looked like an old lady.......much slower than our usual speed and........the pain is worse :angry: ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! going to Target, nonetheless, for two more plants......... may have Stepford's gardeners do the digging for smell fee, however.

can't even find me blasted heating pad..............WHO loses their heating pad, I ask you? :blink:

Of course named after Queen Vicky ...she was rather partial

T'is a mystery (like the Yorkshire puddings) quite how Tel gets the cake to rise sans gluten :blink:

I MUST know how Tel gets the cakes to rise.......we MUST find his secret. p'raps you should video tape him...........

Oh I see.......sponge is........cake. :lol: Here's what we call cakes:

yellow cake

white cake

chocolate cake

etc.

a SPONGE cake is.........what? we have that here........is taht like a pound cake? :lol:

but what is a Victoria sponge? is it the certain philling that makes it so named?

Susie, it is a shame that Annie is not the digger that Stinker was (Tika's Excavation Industries Ltd.). She could be out there right now, spraying and tossing dirt everywhere. . . . . . :lol:

:lol: Yes........oh Annnie DOES dig a bit.......she digs up all the gravel on the side yard and makes holes for herself. <_< (quite good that they ARE on the side yard/garbage area and not seen by humans - she is such a good girl :) )

And Stinker......her excavations and major digs were really confined to the LAWN. she dug up all the grass. :blink:

A phunny (unintentional, as is often the way) from Jack:

I was preparing to do my suppertime injection, and I had to open up a new package of cotton balls. Jack walked in as I was pulling the bag open, and he asked, "are you supposed to throw the first one away?"

Suz--it's not a pound cake, a sponge is more airy and light--kinda like those little cakes you find next to the fresh strawberries at the grocery store in the summer fer those too lazy to make a proper shortcake. :P Yet another thing we can't have <_<

Yep Nik--yer son is like a Victoria sponge--wif a sweet filling! Just give him time, and you'll see :D

How did Al's birfday go?

      Does Kroger Offer Affordable Gluten-Free Options?

      By Peggy M · Posted

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Test uncertainty

      By MI-Hoosier · Posted

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
