I like to look out for the flared nostril also, now that is talent if they can throw that in there too.

Oh, I forgot to tell you guys-- I started Ezra on a children's DHA Omega 3 supplement, and a B complex. This combo is starting to gain popularity for children who have all kinds of issues: bipolar, ADHD, Autism spectrum, etc.

I just want to add my ringing "endorsement." I have noticed a BIG difference in Ezra's ability to focus, and control his temper. I mean, big. His teacher noticed it, too.

Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone interested. The Omega 3 that I got for him is formulated for kids, and I believe it is primarily cod liver oil. I give them to Luke sometimes too, although he can't swallow pills easily yet (yup, he's older, but he gags on them.) So he prefers to CHEW them. :shudder:

Hi everyone-

a quick breeze by, dad did not surgery today. He was unstable last night and so now the surgery is scheduled for 7am Friday morning. He took a shower today and passed out from the weakness and due to his heart being in such bad condition. So I am at my mom's and watching the little ones...talk to you all later...

so glad you dropped in Amanda.

prayers are coming and know you'll be so happy to have the surgery behind you all.

take care of yourself too.

Okay, speaking of avatars..... . . .I'm doing this on a dare. I must change my av for a short while to show everyone how we looked as Zulus on Hallowe'en. Will thinks that this pic is the funniest thing he's ever seen, and has insisted that I put it up. I'm a bit askeert..... . :unsure::lol:

I remember when this shot was taken, but I do not remember his rank boldness.

Perhaps he does this all the time...... . . .. :unsure: .. . .and I just don't notice. .. .....

So good to hear from you, Sarah. Just a thought, but have you considered being a substitute teacher? My daughter's boyfriend was desperate for a job and applied in our school district and got accepted immediately........they are always needing subs. He hasn't gotten his degree yet, so the pay is not as much as someone with one. At least he's working.

Mygawd.. . ......I didn't consider this.

Now that you mention it. . .. .he is not that tall........ :huh: .......

SAIRRRRRRRRR-UHHHHHHHHHHHHH||||||

Great to hear from you :):wub:

I've been wondering & thinking about you as well.

Sucks to be dealing w/ that Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde kurrrrrrrrrrrRap. :angry:

But the good stuff is great to read.

Oh he has mastered that facial expression! He does the arched brow and eye squint like no other!!! :lol:

I like to look out for the flared nostril also, now that is talent if they can throw that in there too.

I think I do good eyebrow & squint but, besides the absence of Hollywood good looks, it's that *&^%$#!@ nostril flare that would've made my acting career's zenith in the arena of a Dubuque Commmunity Playhouse.

Curse those master nostrilators!!!!!!!

********

Sooooooooooo .. . I'm in Phx & hit Mayo tomorrow at 1pm.

Brought the old Palm handheld for plane (not at all plain, natch) music (sidekick also does mp3s, but not near as loud as the Palm). Haven't used the Palm in so long, I'm getting some nice musical surprises.

Like Ned's Atomic Dustbin :huh::)

:early90srockerface: (& if you know what that looks like, plz tell ME)

Anyone remember them?????

Despite the driving (pounding even sometimes?) beat, there's also a smoove lilting [ya I say lilting AND pounding, like some contradictionating juxtopositionificated wine snob] circular rhythm of much longer wavelength, enVELL-lupping it all in the rockin'est tidy way.

And if 'tweren't already a band name, we'd HAVE to add it to that ever-expanding scroll called "that'd be a good name fer a band!!!".

Spacebook question:

Does my old 'status' stay somewhere when I put up a new one?

I flip betw using the sidekick & a work pc & the difference is so tremendous I don't know wth's going on sometimes. :wacko:

Jules spoke Swedish!! Learn that around soph yr of HS?

Suzey phluishishness gone? <psssst . ...they're callin ya floozy!>

Dammit Gian-knit I must've been offline or just braindead when this Smack & Skeeter biz hath begun.

WHY are they called that????

Mornin' gang!

Well, Ptaoughmghmnuss may get some answers at Mayo - - here's hopin', Ptaum!! :)

If one does not have medical insurance down there, does all testing, of all kinds, have to be paid for? I could see it becoming a nightmare for so many ill individuals (read: undiagnosed celiacs, for starters) who need the big, expensive tests for a diagnosis.

Well, there's a new president about to step in . .. . ..... .again, here's hoping. . . . ...

Gah. Giving a big test today on adverbs of frequency - - horrid, boring stuff, and there are always SO many questions and problems.

Always

Usually

Frequently

Often

Occasionally

Sometimes

Rarely

Hardly

Never

Gaaaaahhhhh .. . . ..STOP!

And it gets SO MUCH more exciting when we cover frequency expressions. . . . ... . ..

I can barely contain myself.

To mark this big day for the students and the amount of work they have put into this section, I would ask everyone to please use as many frequency adverbs/expressions as possible in today's upcoming posts. :lol::lol:

I frequently look at my current avatar and shake my head.

:huh::lol:

Yes, hence the reason health car often arises as a topic of political discussions.

Finally got my data!! I'll be checking in infrequently for a sanity break, but mostly absent.

      Looked this up.   Yes, forgiveness and bearing with people is people is vital.

      I must admit I've been on both sides.  Before my diagnosis, and in my ignorance, I thought all the special diets we see around us today were unnecessary and people were making a big fuss over nothing.  There is a shop in the small town where I live that sells organic and gluten free food and I used to see people walking in and buying things and thought they were being a bit ridiculous spending extra money on what I thought was a fad.  Yet since my diagnosis that shop has been a real lifesaver.  I guess It is hard for people to see the necessity of all this extra effort if they haven't experienced celiac disease personally, or observed the way gluten affects someone they love.  Honestly, I have wondered at times if I would have been as understanding had my husband been diagnosed with coeliac disease instead of me. He has been great.   It must be incredibly difficult if your close friends and family aren't supporting you.  I have read some awful stories from coeliacs where friends and families have not just been unsupportive, but go out of their way to continue serving up gluten.   In such extreme cases, where harm is actually being done, serious thought needs to be taken about removing oneself from harm's way.  That all said, I find that the world is now so full of people struggling with autoimmune illnesses now, allergies and intolerances, that people are definitely becoming more attuned to things.    Word is getting out there. In 2022 a long-running popular TV series in the UK, Doc Martin, ended with a final case: a patient being diagnosed with coeliac disease.  I don't know if anyone saw it but I was so heartened by that episode, that celiac disease was given centre stage for the last ever programme. The patient in question had been suffering from a horrible rash which turned out to be dermatitis herpetiformis. He also had anemia, felt faint and was plain exhausted.  It would have been good education to anyone watching who didn't know about the disease and they would have been left in no doubt about its seriousness and the need to follow a strict gluten-free diet.  I thought to myself as it ended, well, now, that's another piece in our campaign to make coeliac disease better understood!

      I understand your frustration about socializing while having celiac disease. I also have allergies to nuts, dairy, all forms of gluten including oats, strawberries and MSG. I get anxiety while grocery shopping and really take my time to read all labels. I always carry a magnifying glass with me wherever I go to read labels. Many products are labelled Gluten Free but contain Oats, and apparently this is becoming more common. I almost bought some gluten free flour but read that it contained oats. A certain percentage of Celiacs have this complication. I can’t help feeling offended and excluded when others act like I am being “high maintenance”. I am becoming better at being an advocate for myself.  I have had diverticulitis 3 times and each time hospitalized-once, the attending nurse didn’t know what celiac means-she had to research...  If others around me make comments I try to enlighten them, those who don’t get it are not my friends anymore. Be very careful about cross-contamination. I was sick recently for 10 days after a meal was contaminated while I was on holiday. If servers say they have gluten free buns or bread, ask if they use a toaster specifically reserved for gluten-free, or don’t chance it. On a positive note, I didn’t find out I had Celiac Disease until I was 60. Eating a gluten free diet means no more terrible headaches, hives, rashes, intestinal bloating and irregularity, Gastro Intestinal Reflux….when I follow a strict diet and mostly always eat at home, I feel great! I also weeded out “friends” who weren’t worth being around.
