Hmmmmm .. .. Soooozie's got a Holy Meeting. The details will be fascinating for me to hear. Sooooze, we pondered early on in this thread whether or not Jesus was in fact celiac. . . . ..I suggest positing this as an introductory question. Should get the ball rolling - - ask if there is specific scripture that mentions him feeling bloated, tired or crampy during the Last Supper, and the whole immense irony that could exist in the "bread is the staff of life" thing. . . . . . ...

I just KNOW this will be a subject that will have them talking.

Um. . .. or perhaps not. Maybe they would sit, silent and staring. . . . . .....

GAH!!!!!!!!!!! x 500

the Holy Lunch went quite well! Just two of the main pastors, but that's okay. And - I only had about 10 percent OVERTALKING!!!!!!!!!!!! feeling relieved that it's over!! Loved it!

Whoa!. .. . . Just checked the front door for the mail, and found a SLEW of Psilly Christmas cards!! WONDERFUL!!! Amanda, Janet, Lisa B and Patti......I got POeter and Jacquie's card a couple of weeks ago. They sit proudly on my "card" table in our living room. Jack picked up the beautiful pic of Smack and Skeeter and said, "Well, this is not quite as weird as Mom displaying all the frame model people.....at least these guys aren't complete strangers". . . ....

Great letter, Janet!

SUCH Fantastic re-lyricating!!!!!

I can't imagine keeping up . .. .. .

I've been so off lately .. ..still not settled into any routine that includes work AND getting fed properly.

Somehow I can be utterly exhausted after work, but unable to sleep for MANY hrs. Was up past 5am last night.

we are missing you, PtaumAss

Just read along.....and - EAT MORE FOOD! for Peter's sake......and - - work fewer hours? and.......take drugs fer sleepin' At least some Benadryl? you can't LIVE like this, Man! <said in Kramer voice>

I got a rock

I got many cards, including yours! Still nuttin' from Gia-knit, though...haven't seen the chillens

am pondering New Year's Cards.....or Valentine's Day? I have a dear friend who sends out about 125 V-day cards, makes all her baked goods - hand-delivers over a three-day period - 'tis her favoUrite holiday ♥ and it completely exhausts her

and, a Christmas song I love

Open Original Shared Link

those Pogues are both wackl and intriguing Mournful and haunting song...forgot about it!

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!! The Wee Tree fell over!

I was in the office, minding my own business......Weez was asleep, minding HER own bidness, and the tree, insofar as I know, was minding ITS own bidness.......and then *CLATTER* - over she went!!

needles and a tiny smattering of broken ornaments everywhere - it's now held down on one side with 5-pound weight ....

'night night!

Replying from work while waiting for a part to get to 90C.

Weird to see all these knuddy options

ennnnnnneeweigh . .. . .last time i tried eating just a couple hrs after waking, i spent ~20min puking & in a Open Original Shared Link. <great James Brown song btw> [what in Sam Hill? instead of url it says post for that link??? [edit: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh .. . ..& hmmmmmmm & NOW i see where to click for url ]

So i don't eat for 4 or 5 hrs after waking, and i'm not hungry until around then anyhoo.

Working fewer hrs won't do. Rents are too high 'round here.

I HAVE been considering trying melatonin to see if i can sleep sooner after work.

And i've REALLY gotta get better at making dinner easier on work days.

bah . .. nothin phun here . .... .

Carry On w/ the Psilly!

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies--

Tis another ugly weather day here. It is a cold rain today and even though it was mixed with ice and stuff and that is closer to snow.....but it still isn't the white fluffy stuff!

So it will be another day of partying and trying to get work done...hopefully it works out but I doubt it. We will be getting our tree tonight and hopefully decorating it.

Talk to you all later sillies!

Mornin' Gang!

Hmmmm....got a call from me mom. . . . my dad's not too well. I'm taking him into the hospital this morning. Don't have many details, but it is apparently "not an emergency". We''ll see. . . .. ...

Ptaoughmghmn! Have you tried melatonin before? It has worked very well for me - - . . no side effects, takes effect quickly. . . .. anddyes, eating is somewhat important, as well . . .. . . . .

[Darn210]

Emily - hope everything goes well fer yer pop.

[flourgirl]

Em, do hope your Dad's ok. Scary when it comes to parents health.

Tawwwm....sorry to hear you are having troubles. I can identify and sympathize. I don't sleep well, either. Food is still a major issue....I eat a small lunch, and use the crockpot a lot for dinners. Always make enough for leftovers, often freezing stuff for quick fixes later.

I tried Melatonin, too. It does help to get to sleep, but I still wake many times at night. I found that I get major nasty headaches from it...don't know why. So I stopped using it. I go to sleep readily enough still....it's staying asleep that's a problem.

Hope you can find your way to a happier, better time. <:munchkin voice:> Follow the yellow brick road

Thinking about yer dad this mornin', Em, and hoping everything is ok

[Green12]

Emily, I hope everything is ok with your Dad.

Tom, I hate to hear you are down I make ahead and freeze a lot of what I eat for dinners, otherwise it is too overwhelming to cook every night, dunno if this would be anoption for you?

[jerseyangel]

Tom, I hate to hear you are down I make ahead and freeze a lot of what I eat for dinners, otherwise it is too overwhelming to cook every night, dunno if this would be anoption for you?

I do the same thing--when I make something, I try and make more than we can eat in a meal and take the leftovers and freeze in individual portions for me when I need it. Comes in handy when the guys get pizza , at least I don't have to cook that night

I'm thinking about you too, Pataughmn

[nikki-uk]

Amanda's gettin' her tree!!!!

Afternoon see-leighs!!!!

....Em, hope your Dad's ok

Tawm!!! (good one tuh-ree-suh!)

Crockpots and cups of good cheer needed...STAT!!! .........wait!.....can I get sum of that 'good cheer'???

JOOLS! Didja sort your gift problem out?????

Got nuffink

[elye]

Well, didn't have to take Dad in - -he is better...... . .but some strange, abdominal pain that comes and goes, so he will have to see his doctor, hopefully Monday. There's a history of kidney AND gall stones (and undiagnosed celiac, I am certain), so for now, he's resting on Tylenol. Things are okay right now. Thanks so much for the words of concern!

I freeze a LOT of extra meals, too. DH takes leftovers to work, as do the kids to school, so you can imagine the size of the lasagna pans/casserole dishes/roasts/crock pots I fill!! Have you got a decent-sized freezer, Ptaoughmghmnuss?

[Darn210]

Have you got a decent-sized freezer?

NO!!!! But I'm planning on getting one within the next year. We have our freezer that is part of our fridge and then we have the freezer that is part of our (older and smaller) "drink and big meal overflow" fridge that is in our garage. However, in the winter when we have really cold snaps and the garage temp stays below freezing for a couple of days, the freezer thermostat doesn't work and stuff starts to thaw . . . so in the winter, I'm stuck wif just the one freezer. I bought a breast chest freezer last year and when I got it home and took off all the packaging, it appeared to have been dropped (on it's motor) at some time. I took it back - it was the last one they had - they offered me a 10% discount to keep it . . . . . . riigggghhhhhttttt . . . dropped on it's motor . . . I'm sure it's fine . . . :majorsacasm:

Em-hope you get some answers on Monday.

[psawyer]

Just a quick fly-by to say that it is snowing big time here in Toronto, with about 8 inches expected in all. It started after the morning commute, but has been coming down steadily since. It looks like there is at least 6 inches so far. The parking lot has been shoveled three times, and needs it again.

[Darn210]

Just got off the phone wif me good buddy who lives out by Bev . . . she says they're suppose to get about a foot . . . Are you all stocked up Bev??

We're warm at the moment and drizzly most of the day . . . looking forward to ice (NOT) again over the weekend.

Peter, why don't you see if Em will send Jack over . . . he's got shovelin' to make up.

[elye]

YES!! The Ripper's on his way, POeter! Gad, I hope you don't lose your parking spaces like last year. . . . . ..

We've gotten about two inches of barph, with another couple of centimetres due overnight. The big dump is coming Sunday. . . . .. perhaps a foot.
