SusieQ- Put the nuggets down and walk away slowly. Come out with your hands clean and no one will get hurt.

It's better if you don't know :lol:

Susie Q has a slightly mad obsessive addiction to them, and we have had an intervention, but to no avail the urge for more nuggets have been so strong and have overcome all good intentions to kick the habit :lol: .

I went to Target yesterday and I am in the candy aisle and see shelves and shelves of Susie's NUGGETS, all different kinds.....truffles, with nuts, without nuts, toffee. So I grab a bag. BIG MISTAKE.

Now I understand the obsession. Little individually tin foiled wrapped creamy milk chocolate bites of melt in your mouth heavenly goodness.

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 :lol::lol: )

Mi Mango!!!!!!!! I guess I am an ish :lol:

I also use Ecco Bella mascara, and I love it :)

Are you gonna post your koala pic???

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) :blink:

Richard, you crack me up :lol::lol:

I win every fight in our marriage, I just jion her side! :D

MANGO!! now get a hold of yourself...you're in AUSTRALIA where the hot aussie men outnumber the women by...well I forgot but there are way more women than men....I think. Forget about the koala, get back on the horse girl and do some more research! ;)

What are these nuggets everybody is always talking about?? I think I missed something :unsure:

So what your not perfect? THATS IT GET OUT OF THIS THREAD! :lol: Oh, crud that means me to... mind holding the door while I get my things ? :lol:

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! :huh:

Ok, sorry you got lost. Don't pack yet! :D

My 22 year old daughter moved far away 3 weeks ago and I have just been kind of lost. My other daughter got married in June and my son moved far away about a year ago. So it's been quite a struggle, but I am focusing on it just being a new journey. That's what happens when you have 3 kids in 3 years they also leave around the same time!

It's good to read about all that has been going on with everyone.

What are bumble bar's? Are they any good? I made some chocolate chip cookies out of a mix this morning but they weren't too good ;)

Then tomorrow I turn the big 50!!! New journey?? How did this happen so fast? Will I be kicked out of the 40 board?

DingoGirl Enthusiast

TAVI!!!!! OMG turning 50 tomorrow??? Well.....you know what they say.....50 is the new...is it 30? ;)

gosh, that must be so stressful, having all the kids gone at once. A total re-adjustment in your thinking.....and a time to think more about yourself, I suppose, when y ou're probably not used to that.

You look very youthful and adorable in your photo...and lots of fun.

oops - gotta go - more later....

BEV - we need a photo with you and the sparkly devil horns, you crazy girl.....

nikki-uk Enthusiast

OMG, it's took me 30 mins to catch up on a couple of days posts.

Just wanted to say Hi to y'all!! :)

TriticusToxicum Explorer
Richard..... :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: 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..... :blink::lol::P

MUCH BETTER DAY TODAY!

TGI Columbus Day/Daddy Daughter Date Day! The 3 of us have been having a wonderful day. We made an apple pie this AM, they "helped" me remove a cabinet needs to go to make room for the new fridge then we went to McD's for Happy Meals and an hour of screaming madness in the play area. On th eway home we stopped @ Dunkin Donuts and got some Munchkins (lucky kids :rolleyes: ) for an after nap snack. They are napping right now and I'm contemplating how to best run/connect the h20 line to the fridge (it's not here for another week or so...*@#$%! Home Depot :angry:) ...I honestly didn't know we HAD KY jelly :ph34r:

Mary seems in a more civil mood today. She is at work, so we're going to make a nice dinner for her. No wine, but maybe some whine :P

So no girls on trampolines...girls on bungies? :huh:

FYI - No Barbies were harmed, the incense was enough to drive out the evil spirits :)

lonewolf Collaborator

Tavi - don't worry, we'll "grandfather" you in. I don't have the heart to call you an ish - you've been through too much already.

Julie - thanks for the laugh! :lol::lol::lol:

Carla - glad you've had some good days all in a row!

Susan - do they make dark chocolate nuggets? Wait, maybe I should hope they don't.

Andrea - an off the wall question. Is Lingonberries Market worth a drive from Federal Way?

Green12 Enthusiast

Susie, I now understand your addiction. The bag I bought yesterday is gone :ph34r::ph34r: I got the milk chocolate truffle nuggets and my mom got the toffee. I had a few of the toffee ones, but my heart belongs to the Truffles. HEAVEN.

Susan - do they make dark chocolate nuggets? Wait, maybe I should hope they don't.

Hi Liz :)

OMG, DO NOT ASK, you will be sorry :lol:

But to answer your question, yes, yes they do have dark chocolate nuggets, Special Dark Chocolate with Almonds and Special Dark Truffles in fact, for informational purposes only.

Use caution in the candy aisle, or better yet, avoid it all together. Run away from it as fast as you can and don't look back :lol::lol:

Hi Nikki!! I read in the other thread about your cat, so sorry :( And congrats about the grand baby, how exciting!

Hi Tavi, so good to see you!! How are you doing with the kids all gone?? I am not mad at you, don't really know what happened, but I seem to miss out or show up late where all the drama is happening :lol: Happy early B-day to you, hope its a great one :)

Sounds like you are having a fun and busy day today Richard.

BEV - we need a photo with you and the sparkly devil horns, you crazy girl.....

YES!!! I agree, would love to see that :lol:

Rikki Tikki Explorer

Went to San Francisco yesterday, boy was it a mob scene. I guess it was fleet week. I went with my mom and brother to meet a cousin I hadn't seen since we were kids. Had a great time.

What are bumble bars? ;)

      @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... Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/

      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.

      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.
    • Gill.brittany8
      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ
