Evening sillies

much updating this evening...where to start where to start

Well the computer war at work was won today. We got the new computers, and they have widescreen monitors.....boy did we make out, we got the cadilac of computers lol

My mom has a new christmas angel in her home this evening. He is 1yr old and blonde hair blue eyes, named Christopher. According to my mom he resembles Landen with just a bit less hair. I did get a phone picture from my sis tonight, he looks like a doll. So now he and Brooklyn will spend Christmas @ moms. very fun with lil ones at this time.

We are getting some nasty weather tomorrow.....ice ice and more ice! I am dreading every bit of it.

Saturday we are heading to NYC, John and I and my coworker and her hubby. We are going to spend the day and do Central Park, see the big Christmas Tree, do the Statue of Liberty and hoepfully Chinatown, plus we want to see the 9/11 memorial.

My coworker was discharged from the hospital on Friday and had to go home with a drain tube, she was scheduled to have it out Monday. Monday came and she had it out. Today she came in for a CT Scan and then we heard them say they were putting the drain back in. Next I know, my coworker said they still found infection and she was being readmitted.She had the surgery 2 weeks ago today....and has had nothing but problems since....scary!

I think we are going to skip the decorating at our house this year, with the move so soon after Christmas, it seems like a big hassle. We migh string a few inside lights but I am not even sure about getting a tree.

Well now it is time to finish up laundry.

It feels like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders, I did the decorating, got my cards off, and finished my present shopping. Just have to wrap them and plan the Christmas Eve/Christmas Day menus, but I am way ahead of the game this year......for once (usually I am way behind)....and it's a great feeling.

How is everybody else today?

I....um....bought myself a new sweater.... :ph34r:

MORNING FESTIVE PSILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAHHH!!!!...my microwave has died :( ....what will I DO???????

What does it mean???

More cleaning on the agenda (hall windows,blinds...hang twinkly lights @ window) but t'is only a tiny window...won't take long

Also waiting in for the electrician/builders....am having an extractor fan put in the bathroom.......definitely NO ballcocks...but maybe a large tool???? :unsure:

OH!! My ads at the bottom say...

Wood venetian blinds and

SWAROVSKI xmas tree......mmmm, sounds interesting! <going back to see what it looks like!!>

sillies - am positively vomitous - not from beverages - - from VAST quantities of birthday/premenstrual junk food binges (nearly a whole bag of barbecue chips AND half a bag of nuggets)

I'm curious....when you say a whole bag...how much is IN the bag??? I would easily get through a bag of crisps and MUCH more :P

Our 'standard' bags hold 25g.

Hair got fixed today - fairly glorious now but - it's back to brown, pretty much :blink: I kind of love it but.......quite a harrowing and expensive procedure to get here :angry:

HOORAY!!! ...but yes, t'was a trauma getting there!!!.....do NOT EVER go back there!!! :angry:

What's yer new read, Janet? Just finished The Lovely Bones. I managed to stick with it.... . a trememndous read, but one of the toughest I've faced. Not for the faint of heart - -particularly agonizing, at first, for those with young daughters.. . . ...

What's everybody reading?

I liked 'Lovely Bones' but a tear jerker!!! (I LIKE a book to move me to tears :blink: )

I am currently reading 'The forgotten Garden' by Kate Morton ........must confess, not alot of time to read lately

I....um....bought myself a new sweater.... :ph34r:

Well done Jess!!!! A good warm jumper is a necessity :lol:

UM, Janet???.....I think the last post for international mail was last week :unsure:

Must crack on!!!!

Psssssshhhhhhhhaaaaauuuuuggghhhhhh . . . 25 measly grams . . . the bag of crisps I just brought home has 336 grams . . . that's our standard size. You have the "single serving" size to go in a lunch box. They do make a "family size" which is considerably bigger than the 336g . . . Suezzee, was it a family size bag of crisps?

UM, Janet???.....I think the last post for international mail was last week :unsure:

What???!!!?? How long does it take to row fly a plane across the pond??

Mornin' Psillies!!

Nik's microwave has died. . . . .and I know why.

It is the 11th.

:rolleyes:

OMG. . . . ...It was more than tear-jerking for me....it was agonizing at times. The writing so beautiful - - lyrical and poignant, yet descriptions of things so horrific. .. ..I struggled a great deal. Interesting that everyone to whom I have spoken who has reacted to the book in such an extremely emotional way has at least one young daughter.

Boy, I find myself now looking long and beseechingly at Sophie. . .. ..worrying, wondering. . .. .It will pass, I know....(gad, I HOPE). . . .. . . :huh:

Enufffffff pseriousness!!!!!

I'm not sure what it has to do with microwaves, but indeed, today is December 11, which is a most significant date indeed for Canadians. Today is the 77th anniversary of what is, in my opinion, the most significant event in Canadian political history. It actually took place in the UK, and affected more than just Canada.

Where's Patti?

I agree wif Htawmn . . . I would've guess "chuffed" to have a differnt meaning.

It took me a while to figger this out....I thought who in the world is "Htawmn"? Was this a new Silly that I just didn't know about or met yet? Did somebody give a name the llama? Maybe it was code for yeti or the bugler? Or maybe I missed another nickname for Sam Hill??

Then I got it :lol:

Ugh so exhausted today & I've barely done anything. :angry: Feels like if I even TRY to do a few things I'll be too tired to work later. :(

I hate talking about crappy days. :angry:

I suppose the bright side is that current crappy is nowhere near the crappy of the past?????

Poopy Cow Tom!!!!!!! Well good news the current crappy is nowhere near the crappy of the past, hope you got rested and refreshed!

positively vomitous

:vomitface:

Feel quite barphish

menstrually and over-binged vomitociousness

I just highlighted a few of the key points from your post....are you feeling ok there?!?!?!

Well at least your hair is glorious!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you feel better today SOOZE!!!!

Yay Em, glad you stuck with it. I don't know if I could with such tough subject matter. I tell you, a book like Kite Runner just made we weep and weep and weep, but so incredibly rewarding.

I am embarrassed to say I am still reading Love in the Time of Cholerra, well reading is not really accurate, more like staring at it from across the room as it calls out to me "I am half way read, you need to finish me!" At this rate I don't know if I will ever git er dun.

I have several books on tap too, Angels and Demons, Simple Genius, and Atonement.

My mom has a new christmas angel in her home this evening. He is 1yr old and blonde hair blue eyes, named Christopher. According to my mom he resembles Landen with just a bit less hair. I did get a phone picture from my sis tonight, he looks like a doll. So now he and Brooklyn will spend Christmas @ moms. very fun with lil ones at this time.

Sounds like a little angel :wub:

So exciting about your NY trip Amanda!!!! Take lots of pictures :D

I have a 'cute' to pass on. My boss (MD,PhD) was telling me that his son's (5 or 6) favorite toy was something that changed the color of dyes based on pH. I started laughing and said something like "Your poor kids were doomed form birth". He replied that his daughter (3 1/2) was very much into princesses, although, she did recently say she wanted to be a doctor to princesses...

those kids are in for a lifetime of nerdliness

I also realized it's weird to hear the word "princesses" come out of your bosses mouth :blink:

      Test results

      By Joyes · Posted

      Can you please educate me regarding my recent test results. Ive been gluten free for years. Recent deamidated gliadin Abs, IgA result is 0.9/‘not detected’ but deamidated gliadin Abs, IgG is 26.6/abnormal high. (Normal range is <15.0) So…what can this indicate?

      Abscesses on legs

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      @LookingForAnswers101Ooh I can also eat coconut, and probably because the ingredients are so highly processed I can eat gluten free bread even though it contains ingredients I can’t usually tolerate. I’m currently trying high lectin foods that've been through a pressure cooker but not much luck so far, pressure cooked mashed potatoes are fine but needs to be cooked completely soft. Hopefully you’ll have more luck than me.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The positive Anti-deamidated Gliadin IgA result (12 U/ml) suggests possible celiac disease, but it is not definitive on its own, as this marker can also be elevated in other conditions or even in non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Do you know if they also ran a tTg-Iga test? This is the definitive test for celiac disease. The absence of classical symptoms like significant bloating or pain upon gluten reintroduction, along with your history of IBS and sensitivity to legumes, complicates the picture (legumes can be cross-contaminated with wheat). While celiac disease remains a possibility, other conditions like NCGS, leaky gut, or additional food intolerances could also explain your symptoms. A biopsy would provide more conclusive evidence for celiac disease, but for that you need to be eating lots of gluten daily in the weeks leading up to the endoscopy. In the meantime, adopting a gluten-free diet and supporting gut health with supplements (e.g., probiotics, L-glutamine) may help reduce inflammation and symptoms, but it’s important to consult a healthcare professional to tailor your approach and rule out other underlying issues. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
