My girls are 22 and 25 (start saving your money now). Peeing on the floor is a non event. He really peed on the floor?.....oh. Girls don't do that. Mine brought me diapers to change them, yeah. Thought it was time to use the potty. My youngest brought me the new diaper, took off her old, and layed on the floor and propped her legs up in the air....."hello Mom, issues here."

Okay, I think this is the perfect time and thread for this (sorry it's so long):

Finally a Barbie I can relate to. At long last, here are some NEW

>>Barbie dolls to coincide with her and OUR aging gracefully. These are a

>>bit

>>more realistic...

>>

>>

>> 1. Bifocals Barbie. Comes with her own set of blended-lens fashion

>>frames in six wild colors (half-frames too!), neck chain, and large-print

>>editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.

>

>> 2. Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie's bellybutton and watch her face

>>turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her forehead.

> Comes with handheld fan and tiny tissues.

>>

>> 3.. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie's hormone levels shift, see her

>>whiskers grow. Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.

>>

>> 4. Flabby Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with these

>>new,roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news on the tummy front, two-MuMus with

>>tummy-support

>>panels are included.

>>

>> 5. Bunion Barbie. Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have

>>definitely taken their toll on Barbie's dainty arched feet. Soothe her

>>sores

>>with the pumice stone and plasters, then slip on soft terry mules.

>>>

>> 6. No-More-Wrinkles Barbie. Erase those pesky crow's-feet and lip

>>lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie's own line of

>>exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.

>

>> 7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader is really

>>paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for

>>Babs and Ken, Jr.. Comes with minivan in robin-egg blue or white and

>>cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.

>>

>> 8. Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It's time to ditch Ken. Barbie needs a

>>change, and Alonzo (her personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered,

>>along with Prozac. They're hopping in her new red Miata and heading for

>>the Napa Valley to! open a B&B. Includes a real tape of "Breaking Up Is

>> Hard to Do."

>>

>> 9. Divorced Barbie. Sells for$ 199.99. Comes with Ken's house, Ken's

>>car, and Ken's boat.

>>

>> 10. Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up with

>>the ultimate party girl. Now she does Twelve Steps instead of dance steps.

>>Clean

>>and sober, she's going to meetings religiously.. Comes with a little

>>copy of The Big Book and a six-pack of Diet Coke.

>>

>> 11. Post-Menopausal Barbie. This Barbie wets her pants when she

>>sneezes, forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick and

>>tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through the

>>channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, the book

>>"Getting In Touch with Your Inner Self" is included.

DH's friends are here eating chips and playing cards. *yawn* not a fan of card games.

Um, I would be a clown then, because I don't leave the house without makeup on! My mamma raised me right! MAKEUP AT ALL TIMES!! Keep in mind the southernness...besides, I look like a rat without makeup.

The Razorbacks won today!!! WOOT!!! I so expected us to lose, and to lose badly. I'm wearing my oscar the grouch "Brought to you by the letters H O G S" shirt :P

We're leading the SEC west! :D

Um...I had something else to say but I forgot...dang.

Oh well, Happy Saturday everyone!!!

I have a hilarious barbie pictorial of barbies that didn't make it, but not sure how to get it out here. It is in my email. There is a trailer park barbie that is too funny. Omg, I am so computer illiterate, right Ceil?? lol, she even had to put my pic up FOR me. :blink:

Hey, what about those BUCKEYES!!!!????

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Hurray!

I have no idea who or what they are, but if it makes Susan happy I'm willing to keep on booing and willing them to lose.

You just have to give me an little clue about when I should start and when I can stop. I'm assuming it's all done with for the moment and I can stop sending them evil vibes?

Susan, I'll feel really feel bad if one of these people ends up getting in a car accident or whatever because of all these ill-wishes. Could we not be more specific in our ill-wishes?

Best wishes!

Matilda

Matilda....you're killing me here!! big guffaw...NO, we dont' want any car accidents or deaths, for God's sake! The bulldogs are our local team - see the link a couple of pages ago.....we NEED them to have the worst losing season EVER (they are)because it was :angry: ROBERT'S :angry: favorite team!!!

Hi guy's Susan what nut bars? I hope you guy's aren't upset with me because of the exchange I had with Scott. I really do admire all he does. And I value all of you. :D How is everyone? Still having issues with my daughter so far away, do you suppose it will get easier? ;)

Guest Robbin
:( Tavi, it hasn't gotten easier for me, it seems to get worse, because I remember how I was at that age, and I worry more. Yikes, that wasn't any help, but maybe your daughter is a leeetle more level-headed than my son. I hope so.
Guest Robbin

Omgosh, yes, we love you!!! I don't know what you are talking about either, but everyone is accepted here!! :):)

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.

      @ABP2025, Here's some studies and articles that will help you learn more about thiamin and all... I will write more later. It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ and...

      Interesting you mention MCAS. I have come across mcas before but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what it was. When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen. 
    • Kiwifruit
      This is all really useful information, thank you so much to you both.    I have a history of B12 and vit D deficiency which has always just been treated and then ignored until it’s now again.

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.
