Tavi, no worries.

I'm sorry I can't help you with your daughter.....mine are still young and I am not that close to my stepsons.

[VydorScope]

Still haveing issues with my daughter so far away, do you suppose it will get easier?

Hmm do you mean you have a grown child that has moved out? Not sure whatyour asking... sorry I do not read every post on this board, I struggle to keep up with teh few places I can be a helper... so missed the story if you posted it already!

Happy Sunday all!! I'm on a roll, three days of feeling good! My hubby said today when we were at Wild Oats that it was obvious I was feeling better because I was dragging him around and trying to get him to hurry up when I had been just following him around like a puppy for the past couple months.

I really enjoyed my piece of donut and cup of coffee!

Susan, glad the Bulldogs lost.

I live in the Buckeye state!

Tavi, I miss Morgan, too.

Hope everyone is feeling great today!

Where's Richard ... his wife must be feeling better.

Vincent, make your son clean up his own pee. Don't stress too much ... not many kids go to kindergarten with diapers on!

Celia, glad Publix is carrying more for you!!

Hi to everyone else!

[DingoGirl]

Good morning all...

Cecile - - happiness at Publix! yay......

And, my Carla you are SO perky! so nice that you are getting your energy back....that is amazing. Guess I am going to have to buy that book you recommended....mornings are SO hard for me....

Tavi! What are you talking about, an exchange with Scott? missed that one....don't care....we love you, Silly....let's see, my nut bars were an attempt at homemade Bumble Bars....really good but I hate too many....had a very tender stomach last night.....

Sad day in Fresno.....for the Bulldog fans.....

gotta go, see y'all later!

I cannot recommend it highly enough!! I truly think that even with other health issues, it would help literally everyone. We all push ourselves way harder than our bodies are designed for and though I don't think it's a cure-all for everyone, I certainly think it would help everyone get better faster while they address their other ailments as well -- for me, no gluten or dairy (or legumes, it seems).

I realize that I was relying on exercise, caffeine and sugar to stimulate my adrenal glands just to get by. It was very tempting the past couple weeks to just drink a cup of coffee, or do a strenuous workout, just to have the temporary boost, but I realized I need to fix this problem for real. It would definately mean no more nuggets for you ... unless it's the chicken ones.

My face has been breaking out like mad lately

My face is breaking out too, I don't know what is going on. It was clear as clear could be and then I started using Bare Minerals make-up. After that, it started to break ou, and now it's all broken out. I have since stopped using the make-up, and I have tried to eliminate all kinds of things, one by one, trying to get to the source but no such luck.

Susie, glad you got your revenge yesterday

I'm excited and nervous all in one, my 2 favorite teams, Chargers and Steelers, are playing each other TONIGHT!!!! Yikes!

Have a good Sunday everyone!

NO NUGGETS??? the hell you say......

breakouts....heinous....Julie, what color is your Bare Minerals? I could buy if off you

[CarlaB]

Yea, after a few weeks you could do as I do and treat yourself to ONE on Sunday. When you're feeling better, I think willpower is easier to come by ... I allow myself only a piece of a gluten-free donut ... I certainly don't want to fall into my old habits and feel like garbage again.

I am not the one stressing. My wife is.. and the husband reading this know how hard on us that is!

[AndreaB]

I was so thrilled that I didn't have to drive 1/2 hours away... when I went to check out, the cashier looked at my stuff and said... "wow... you eat healthy is that how you stay so skinny?".... ... I said "no, I have Celiac Disease and eating this way is helping me gain my weight back."... and she says... "My husband has diabetes too"...... .... I just smiled... she was trying to be sweet.

Sounds like her hearing is about like mine.

From Mitch: If you would have told her your name, she probably would have called you Sally or Sue, or...

[VydorScope]

Welp I survied my 4th class! (as a teacher!) This time I got a great review from my teacher (I am officaly an ast teacher, basicly in training so when I teach he watches and reviews). PHEW! You know when I was younger I thought teachers had it made... man was I wrong! The amount of work I put in to a single lesson is more then I ever did in homework!

It is fun though warping the minds of Americans for my personal use...err I mean helping ppl learn and grow, yea thats it!

[CarlaB]

Just tell your wife, he's not ready, try again in three months. It's not worth the stress ... really. It's easy to teach them when they're ready, it's impossible when they're not! I had one I had to do this with, when we tried again in a couple months, it was easy.

Glad your class went well. I worked with college students ... fortunately, I wrote down what I taught and could reuse it with other groups. The lesson there -- keep your notes!!

Juliem, Broncobucs is going to be at the game tonight - on the Steelers side. A friend of his, who plays for the Steelers, sent him tickets. So, Broncobucs drove from Tempe, AZ today for the game and will drive home to Las Vegas tomorrow (I think that is what he said).

No, I did not meet him for lunch yesterday as I had put in a very rough night on Friday and had to cancel. Which really urked me. It is hard to get my hubby to drive 1 1/2 hrs round trip for pizza and here he was willing to do that yesterday. The pizza at Picazzo's pizza is so very good and I will now have to wait a few more months to get there again.

Oh, don't ask who Broncobucs Steeler friend is. He told me when I asked, but I am not a sports person and so it flew right out of my pea brain. I would assume that his friend went to Ohio State University as Chris did.

How fabulous for him!!! There are a couple of players on the Steelers that played for Ohio State, lucky guy to have a connection and to be at the game.

I will be at home watching the game, nervous, ulceritic conditions going on in the stomach

Susie Q, I got NUGGETS

OMG, they are soooooo good. Look what you started

Not good to have a bag of nuggets watching my two favorite teams play, with a nervous stomach

I predict the bag will be gone by half time

So sorry you had to cancel your plans Armetta, I hope you get to feeling better soon

[happygirl]

Just a drive by...on hubby's computer (he is stayin in Virginia Beach til he finds a job up north...so his is still set up). Truck is fully loaded, in laws came and went, friends came and went, and mom came and went...she is on her way up to Fairfax to start unloading stuff. We'll be on our way shortly (Eric is driving truck, I'll have my car).

Whew! I'm ready to go to bed. I'm a tired little puppy!

Sounds like yall are having a good time on here....I'll hopefully be back at some point!

Thanks for the warm wishes, all!

xoxo,

Laura

[Mango04]

Have you tried Ecco Bella? it's sold at Whole Foods and other health stores - I have not tried it but it's supposed to be really pure...I also use Maybelline, no probs.

Premature post:

Loooooove Ecco Bella. It's the only mascara that's never entirely irritated my eyes.

Hi, btw...another ish ish here. I've mostly been lurking. Need to go read the rest of the thread (such quality entertainment )

What, no girls on trampolines?

I'm happy to report that the "old lady", er little missus is feeling better. She's at her over 30 soccer game tonite. The kids are in bed, so I get to play for a few minutes!

Weird weekend....First the whole getaway that wasn't, then brawling over which fridge to buy (I won ), then the Yankees lose to the Tigers , then no romantic evening (see who won the fridge ), then I wake up at 3:00 and I'm having an asthma attack and can't get back to sleep, then MAry gets up and sleeps in Maddys' bed (kids at g'mas house) because all my tossing and turning is keeping her up , THEN I go to order the fridge and have a HUGE FIASCO at Home Depot (I HATE that store! ), then we go off and have a nice family day at the local historic saw mill, then I go to change the oil in the car when I come home, and get the oil drained, go to fill it up again, and I can't get the filler cap off...turns out the cap WON"T COME OFF if the oil/engine is HOT - for my SAFETY (NOT MY SANITY) ...an hr and a half into a 15 minute oil change the cap magically comes loose, then I'm reading a story to Olivia (4yo ) when I hear a thud and a bump and the wailing of my 2 yo (Maddy) I thought she had put herself to bed (wishful thinking!) instead she was in her room emptying a tube of KY Jelly (we can talk about that heree ) on herself, her dresser, her wall, her bed and her carpet. Thank GOD it was KY and not Vaseline or something else greasy! I just got that cleaned up and Olivia went to sleep (ANGEL ) and Maddy was right behind her.

Aside from that my weekend has been VERY uneventful

So when do the girls on trampolines start?

[TriticusToxicum]

Baaaaaad mojo or kharma or something

Maybe i should burn some incense and dance around my barbie doll collection or something?

I think it might have been the whole Gene Autry thing on the "arguing "thread....Don't mess with dead singing cowboys! (or their stuffed horses)

Richard..... oh dear gawd....this doesn't sound like the best weekend ever, and sorry about the KY, yes, good thing it was not a petroleum-based accident....I think what you're supposed to do is....light the hair of a Barbie on fire, and then.....run around the new refrigerator.....

[CarlaB]

Couldn't have been too bad of a weekend if the KY was out where a kiddo could find it!

Julie,

Let's show Susan what self control is.

Hey Meredith! Good to see you over here!

[Guest Robbin]

Mango!!! Tell us, girlfriend, how are the Aussie men doing?? Yummy, I suppose you lucky girl. Tell us some juicy stuff, we want to hear all, lol. \

Richard, Richard, Richard, don't you know that for every battle you win, you pay a price? You won the fridge, but really my dear is sleeping on the sofa gonna be worth it???
