:rof::rof:OMG! My 9 year old just came in and asked me if we ever really talk about Crohns on this forum. I said yeah why? She said I laugh way too much:rof::rof:

Particularly funny dayon other thread.
 
Just tried to "Thank" one of Patricia's posts and got a Fatal Error message...they are on to you Patricia!
 
I'll join in...whenever you have a question your sig other suggests you ask your friends on the forum, not your doc. :)
 
Have to agree with all the above :lol:.

Lol! I have been going crazy at work when I have nothing to do and no internet access...of course I have a million things to do at home when I *do* have access! :sign0085:
 
How do you know your addicted to a forum when....

When you check your e-mail and see them number in the 60's and feel the need to change your e-mail address.:rof:

Because let's face it...you check it enough that being notified isn't needed.:tongue:
 
Ummm...not to change the subject but I came downstairs to the kitchen and C was shaking this re-purposed spaghetti sauce jar and it was filled with slimy yellow stuff, before I can register what he is doing he dumps it in the frying pan and begins to stir.

His new and improved scrambled egg recipe:
2 eggs
a dash of milk(his words not mine)
a fist full of shredded cheddar(or whatever shedded cheese he finds in the fridge)
a spoonful of olive oil mayo
3 shakes of garlic powder
sea salt(2 grinds) and pepper

Shake the jar til your head spins then fry it up and and dump on bread.

Seriously...where does he get these ideas!?! And with these cravings I'll never keep him out of a flare!
 
Oh yeah, I had to, he insisted and they were quite good! Oh and I left out a hand full of chopped up baked ham.
 
Just curious... Do you guys put ketchup on your scrambled eggs? Hmmm... Good!!!
 
I don't but my grandfather did, in fact he put it on everything. He liked a little food with his ketchup!! HA
 
All my kids put ketchup on their scrambled eggs ! LOL
We did as kids too ~ JJ will NOT eat eggs any other way
 
Oh you've GOTTA put ketchup on scrambled eggs! On mac and cxheese too! Especially KD!! :D
 
Okay, I think I may be OCD because it isn't the taste that keeps me from doing it but the combination of bright red and yellow, those colors together freak me out just a bit...I know I know I'm probably unhinged! Oh and when that green ketchup came out I was running for the hills!!

It doesn't belong anywhere, as far as I'm concerned. Wouldn't have a bottle in the house.:wink:
 
Nooo, ketchup does not belong on eggs!!! I'm very much in the "on burgers and chips" and that's about it!
 
YES, YES,YES!!!!!!!

Ketchup on eggs it a must!!
My brother uses hot sauce on his. My hubby uses salsa on his, my twin uses syrup on hers, my dad loves chili on his and I won't say who but....
chocolate sauce has been applied to scramble eggs also.

Chocolate "sauce"? Like Hersheys? Firstly, it's not real chocolate. and on EGGS????!! I'm ith cm on this one. ICK!
 
A - Ketchup in a bottle is NOT CLEAN!

B - Ketchup on sausages is gross..unless of course said sausage is a hot dog

C - Can't eat a burger, hot dog or fries without it. I actually even dip my potato chips in it..Ewwww!

Clash - I wish one of my kids liked to cook! Keep that boy around and experimenting. His concoctions sounds good to me although the mayo?
 
Izzi'smom - read of another idea to incorporate greens in your diet. Haven't tried it yet but maybe this weekend... make pesto sauce with spinach/kale. Also, as most/all pesto sauces use some sort of nut, which Stephen can't have, I'm going to try to add a bit of nut butter instead of the actual nut. (Not sure about the ketchup in this case ;))

Also, a while back I had some broccoli that had been boiled and left to cool and was then drizzled with olive oil, salt, pepper and white wine vinegar. Okay, :lol: maybe this isn't a big deal to some of you better cooks out there but I'd never thought to put vinegar on cold, cooked broccoli and it was delicious!!! :)
 
I used to put ketchup on my eggs as a kid. I don't usually care for it that way now, but it's become a comfort food for me. When I'm feeling sad or down I put ketchup on my eggs and I feel a little bit better. :(

I always have a spare ketchup in the pantry for when the one in the fridge runs out. It's one of the few things I make sure I have a backup supply of, never want to be caught out with hot dogs on the table and no ketchup ready to go!!

I always buy the Simply Ketchup stuff from Heinz. It contains sugar instead of HFCS. I buy the "throwback" sodas, too, for that matter, that have sugar instead of HFCS. I'm not sure I've noticed any improvement in my health, but it sure tastes better. :)

Some day I'll call you out on this Clean Diet stuff and make you defend it. :D In my opinion any diet that comes in a book with a glamour shot of the author on every cover is suspect. :p

From what I've read, most of the diet is common sense, about 80% of it is scientifically and nutritionally supported, and 20% of the stuff is voodoo :voodoo: old wive's tale level nonsense. I haven't done any in depth study yet, though. :wink:
 
LMAO! So true about that wench. But really Clean Eating has been around way before her. She just marketed it!

You are right. Clean eating is common sense. It is all just about cutting out all the processed crap. Going back to nature. Eat it as you found it. Amazes me that someone has found a way to make a fortune telling us what we already know...I do love her books though:shifty: Great recipes and explanations of nutrients, vitamins, their roles etc.

Proof? Hmmm...our family had great success with it at the end of the summer. O's disgusting infected eczema went away with no drugs. Went off for hurricane and haven't gotten back on and eczema is back and she is tired as hell. Maybe coincidence but we are going back 110% today.
 
Oh and while we are talking about things that amaze me...it also amazes me that companies have convinced us that the stuff we buy in packages that have year long expiration dates and a list of ingredients we can't pronounce have convinced us it is good for us!

I do miss Hostess and Drakes though:ywow:
 
In the Christmas spirit let's do a new game or should i say memories!

The best Christmas gift I was ever given!


When I was 13 I got a diary with a heart lock on it. For some reason that meant the most to me because my mom saw me now as a young women that needed privacy for her own thoughts.
 
I think that you should start a new thread for this, FW. It's a lovely thought for the season.
 
Perhaps your right Susan2 but it took me forever to color code the words. There's got to be a better way?
 
If you "quote", then just copy all of the words, you can paste that into a new thread. I could do it, but I'd prefer it to be under your name.
 
Vinegar on broccoli??? UGH! Unless it's basalmic!
I have been eating greens for weeks now. Dropped 8#. A tiny amount of meat for flavor, maybe a splash of broth, and sauteed (kale, broccoli rabe, spinach, turnip, beet etc greens). Better than a salad (It is in the 30's here and I need warm, comfort food) and with some salt and pepper...YUM!) This way I don't feel bad that the past 3 nights I have gone out for a drink with friends...LOVE empty calories!!
Also a huge fan of diet cranberry sierra mist...and it's seasonal. I couldn't find it for a couple of weeks so I panicked and bought 16 2 liters and 2 twelve packs...do I have a problem?? :shifty:
 
CIC most ezcema has been proven not to be related to food at all.
Not saying clean eating is not good for you..
But highly unlikely to cause or stop an ezcema flare kwim .

Christmas is sneaking up on me ( hush FW )
I have done nothing - tree is stil in the box ( real trees and allergis. Do not mix)
No shopping done no cards
Aaahhh!!!
Sitting here at the super long swim meet since 7:30 am hoping to finish up here by 4:00
 
Ugghh!! I'm with you MLP re Christmas!! Had thought I would do it 'lightly' this year... just a few decorations, beg another family member to host (altho it's probably my turn this year :redface:), etc. as we're leaving on the cruise on the 29th but... plans have changed! :lol: My father won't be able to 'visit' for Christmas day unless it's at my place (where he can go lay down, rest foot, etc. if necessary)... so... the scramble is now on! :runaway: Decorations, cooking, gifts, wrapping.... oh my!! :ack:

Angie - I swear the broccoli is great with the vinegar!! :ylol: Not at all what I would have expected either! Boil/steam it, let it cool completely, add salt, pepper, olive oil and sprinkle white wine/cider vinegar. It really is worth a try:thumleft: (Haven't tried it with the balsamic...)

Went Christmas shopping.
Two stores
Two presents
$600 later...Done for the day!
Yikes! :yfaint:

is this where I insert a sweet little saying like..."the looks on their faces when they open the presents...
Priceless!" ?? to make me feel better ?? LOL
 
$600 is a third of my Christmas shopping budget. :p

Today I found adult-sized hot pink footie pajamas with owls on the feet.

Guess what my wife is getting?

Perfect muppet.

Tell your wife I just saw adult size pink bunny pajamas. :thumright:
Ya know the one from A Christmas Story Movie. An all time classic.:ack:
Tell her I'll send her the link:p. Y'all look smashing darling.:heart:


Crohn's Mom it never gets cheaper. For my 5 yr. old boy I was thinking about getting him a leap Frog tablet. Simple right? NO WAY. All different kinds and prices. CRAZY! Grace simple. 18in. doll with hair she can brush and a wardrobe to die for. Of course the doll will need a carrying case and hangers for the clothes and shoes. CRAZY!
 
We got Izzy one of those tablets, the Explorer model that looks like an iPad. No reason Grace shouldn't have one, she could use it in the bathroom.
 
FW leap frog is so worth it.
My oldest got a leapster at age 4. Seven years later it went through two kids and we handed down to another three year old.
 
Really? She'll be 4 next month. I tought she would be to young?
Hold on. My kids are 20 months apart. They can share. I just saved money! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ME!
 
The apps for the Leappad thing are $20 a piece though. I'm not sure it's worth it. We ended up giving Izzy's away because we bought it at age 2 and it was too advanced for her. She uses my android phablet (phone/tablet hybrid) constantly and we're probably just going to get her a cheap android tablet this year, like a Kindle Fire or something, to play educational games on and maybe some animated children's books.
 
This is a thing once one gets their little grubs on it - no one will let go.
It is designed for age 3 on up.
Also second or third good for the long bathroom trips.
 
Izzy's upstairs in bed singing "Rudolph" very loudly instead of sleeping right now. When she gets to Santa's lines, she puts on her deep "man" voice, it's really something to hear. :D
 
Thanks,
Hubby is home and he said that he wants a tablet for x-mas so he can join the forum so he can talk to me! :ybiggrin:That's my cue to part ways. Good night y'all.:rosette1:
 
Considering what I remember of Izzy's history muppet ~ that must be a truly special and heartwarming sound ! :heart::heart:
 
CM, you need another daughter, right?! I had to quickly stuff my stocking full of junk from around the house last year as I hadn't thought about it. I think this year I will concoct a story about how Santa doesn't do mommies. UGH. But I am fairly certain that $600 is more than I have spent on Christmas in it's entirety. THat includes my cards and the tree ;)
Muppet. You poor wife. Hot pink footie pajamas are NOT a girls best friend. ;)
FW, my 5 and 2 year olds have kindle fire's ad both handle them fairly well...I was surprised.
 
CM I can't even explain this past year. She's gone from a little wooden puppet to a real girl over the past 12 months. I can't explain it and I don't care that I can't explain it. Every time I talk about it I cry.
 
Angie ~ Gab only asked for 2 things for Christmas and of course I had to tell her to pick one LOL
JJ has a relatively short list , but geezzz the items they want as teenagers are outrageously priced ! :p

I think someone should sneak your kiddos a note telling them that santa wants them to make mommy a coupon book good for chores, pampering (neck massage, manicure, etc), breakfast in bed ~ there's so many things they could do themselves and surprise you! That was one of my all time favorite gifts from my kiddos ~ and they didn't spend a dime :)
 
Izzy would be happy with a block of wood. Sarah wants a 3DS. She's getting a first gen model because Target put them on sale. She'll probably be disappointed it's not an XL. :p

She keeps reminding me that her iPhone is eligible for an upgrade in the Spring. I asked her what sort of job she's planning to get by then.
 
LMAO @Izzy's job! Izzi told me she wants an iPad. :faint: I told her she's second on the list, right after me. I just got a Kindle Fire in the mail this week...these kids don't know how good they have it!! I had twigs and berries to play with at their age (we grew up in the country, remember? ;))
 
iPad was Gabs second on the list - and JJ wants one too :/ I just can't afford two and other gifts they'd like.
I'm considering kindle fires ?
I have an iPad and I love it, but hardly use it. And the only reason I have it is because it was free :)
I'm considering restoring it to factory default and letting gab borrow it for however long - she knows this and says that's fine :)
Unless my numbers win in the lottery tonight ! LOL
 
I love the kindle fire...but then again I certainly am not up on technology. lol! Far more reasonable than an iPad. (Or gasp! two lol!)
 
Wow, Christmas is big business these days :ylol:. The problem with kids as they get older, the presents get smaller but more expensive. So come Christmas day, it looks like they're hardly getting anything yet we've spent alot!
We decided to spoil the kids for once since they have both had such a hard year! We were going to get Amy the Kindle Fire, but we decided to splash out and get them an iPad mini each. Nearly fainted paying that :yfaint:
Maybe it'll keep them amused at all the hospital appointments :thumleft:

Hehe. No no, see, Izzy is the 3 year old who is quite content with whatever you may care to gift her. Sarah is the overbearing 14 year old who thinks the world owes her a data plan.. :D
 
Instead of an iPad think about a google nexus. It is way cheaper. my oldest just bought himself one. It does everything the iPad does and is more portable. My kids haven't asked for much this year except my oldest. He wants flying lessons! I told him I would get home one. Today he is taking the ACT. If he does well we will get him another lesson. (For you nonamericans the act is a test you take to get into college. We have two here the act and the sat. You can take one or the other or both). Caitlyn was easy this year she wanted two pairs of fancy sneakers under $100 for both. My next one, asked for a bunch of fun things from the dollar store and one small gift. #4 he takes after his brother wanting more expensive stuff he is getting a ninjago set from Costco and some kind of car that turns into a helicopter and flies (I think that one is more for my husband then him. He loves those kinds of things! Sophia my youngest is getting a play kitchen I found at a thrift store for $12. She has been wanting one and we found a pots and pans set and a food set each for $10. She will be so excited!
 
I wanted a Nexus but they're still a bit pricey and the Kindle HD has some killer features like a subscription service for $5/month to a huge library of kids' books and games...

...oh yeah by the way thanks to all the Kindle Fire talk on this thread I just went out and bought one for my wife and one for Izzy as a potty training companion/incentive. I blame all of you!

Now I have to scramble to fit these into my shopping budget as now I've overspent on my wife by 50%. She's gonna be mad. :)

Thanks MLP!!

Muppet, Tell your girl to love that Iphone. My son, who's 15, still has a slider dumb phone that's pay as you go! It could be worse!!

Ryan's Christmas list is non existent. After we said no to the iphone, he hasn't said anything else. He just got 2 video games that he prepurchased at his birthday. Who needs more games and more reason to have argue about getting off his bum anyway! So Mom's gonna get creative and see what I can come up with that he needs/would want. This ought to be interesting!
 
Muppet...hysterical-love it!
Dear MLP...
Thank you for making my morning. and wherever that is, Izzi wants to visit ("That must be Hawaii!" she says lol!) I want to visit too. My idea of a vacation=a book, a beach, and a cabana boy.
 
MLP! I almost changed your screen name to bubble burster after that reality check on eczema...but then you redeemed yourself on the Christmas front. I have done not one thing yet!!!!! And have something like 50 gifts to buy not including hubby's staff! But then you posted that pic. Sorry girls but ewwwww those trunks are horrendous...too short...like something from the 70's! Go longer trunks or speedo buddy but that in between crap has gotta go! He needs a woman (or man no judging just love) in his life to fix him up right muppet?


As for gifts, we are usually pretty simple round here. Kids get 1 gift from each person and 1 from Santa. There are no lists or asking. If you ask for something you don't get it.

One year we did a $20 Christmas. No gift over $20 it was so creative and fun. Made us Concentrate on the true meaning. The family then went to the city and got 2 for tickets and saw a show and had a simple dinner...looked at the Christmas windows...that is our kids favorite gift now.

May have to reenact that $20 Christmas less show as hubby just found out no bonus this year (no FFLD cracks muppet...I saw your Christmas list;) and they are laying off half his department. Bah Humbug!
 
LOL we had many years of $20 Christmases and it wasn't for the sake of quaintness. ;) Before that, it was cookie Christmases where I put my dubious baking skills to the test. And our list is only like, 20 people. This year it's 8. Poor, poor Fairfield dwellers... :eek:utahere:

We're all scheduled for one-on-one meetings with our VP this coming month to "discuss our skillsets" on the eve of a major reorganization. The only other time I've ever been reassured of my job security so many times in one week was the last time I got laid off.

I hope your husband isn't part of the cut, CCT, there's nothing funny about layoffs.

Also if your pool boy friend up there was looking for a man in his life, he'd already have better fashion sense. :lol2:
 
God, when they were young I got al kinds of gifts. Toys are so fun to buy :mario2:, and their excitement over the tree, Santa etc...
But as they got older the kinds of gifts they wanted got really boring (to me, to buy) and their excitement turned to ennui.

They have so much stuff I've stopped buying gifts for Christmas.
They are both OK with this.
My adult daughter asked her boyfriend to donate to a no kill animal shelter for her gift.

I do love the music though, and the church services.
 
So, my wife was on U-Verse this morning searching for Christmas specials to record for the kids....

Good job, U-Verse...

Ya know... when I saw the picture, the first thought that came to mind was' Oh, look, Farmwife's vacation pictures!' ;)

And, I'm with all of you in the 'hardships' of Christmas gifting - expensive, boring, stressful, etc.! It was so much easier when they were little and just loved toys!

When my kids were little (around 3ish??), they used to receive sooo many gifts (in addition to those from family, they would receive gifts (some small/inexpensive but that was irrelevant to them) from friends of mine, closer coworkers/friends who would get them gifts, etc.) and that one year, it was horrible - they'd barely torn off the wrapping from one before they were yelling next, next, next! Ughh!!! So turned me off!!! After that, I made a rule, they were allowed to open two gifts first thing (one fun and one that I knew was clothes...), and then one more gift every hour... They actually appreciated/enjoyed each gift and it kept the anticipation going for hours. The rule died away over the years as the number of gifts lessened and they got older... Now I can only afford to get them one anyway! :lol:

Crohnsinct - I love that $20 idea!
 
I'll never forget Sarah's 6th birthday. We bought her a Mac Mini and a keyboard and mouse, all wrapped separately.

My dad and his (awful, now gone) girlfriend were there with her young boy around Sarah's age, and of course they brought a gift or two of their own.

The kids played and we had lunch and then cake, and then the presents came out. We always let her choose which gifts to open first, and the first one she unwrapped was the keyboard for the computer.

The next few were from my dad and his girlfriend, opened hastily and tossed aside with "Nope, this isn't the computer, next!"

And then the whole scene was ruined by the lecture she got... hoo boy.
 
Tess and CICT...LOVE those ideas!!

I am SO tired of trying to limit the gifts that they get (Izz's birthday is the 19th on top of it all) but I LOVE the thought of spreading out the appreciation. I don't have them all day this year (just a few hours in the am) but when I DO I am taking full advantage.
We had to take turns opening...still love that!

Muppet...Christmas for all, huh? LOL!
 
A fb friend of mine does the four gift rule with her kids, one thing you need, one thing you want, one thing to wear and one thing to read.

Another fb friend that was hit hard this year with layoffs and such is making her grands(8 of them) quilts from her fabric scraps. Most of the scraps are from outfits she has made them through the years so they will be full of memories.
 
Muppet, you're less scary than kermit with the big gun. Just sayin'.
And my kids want to come play at your house. lol!

Click to expand...

I like the one thing to read thing - books are great - usually have one or a few on my list each year - and enjoy having a book to read start to finish over the Christmas holidays
 
Of all the days for our youngest to have a clueless substitute hastily trying to memorize faces of who will be picking up their 3 year olds at lunchtime, today is probably the worst one to pick.

Hopefully she's on the ball enough not to start expounding to a bunch of 3 year olds about the Newtown shooting. Our youngest doesn't know a thing about it and won't for years as far as I'm concerned.
 
Muppet and Crohnsinct (and anyone else I've missed who lives in Connecticut) - What happened is such an incredible tragedy! Impossible to even express my feelings. Everyone I've spoken with, here, so far away, is heartbroken, I can only imagine how difficult this is for you and your children being so close to Newtown. May God give those families strength to get through such an extremely difficult time! And I hope that those of you living nearby also find the strength to get through this and the knowledge to help your children deal with the tragedy. :ghug:
 
I really feel guilty that this shooting has affected me emotionally so much more than previous school shootings. It's much closer, it involves really little children, but still I don't think you can really call one mass school shooting more horrific than any other. Still, this one has hit me right in the gut. We really agonized over whether to send Izzy to school today or not, which really, is stupid. Of course she should still go. There's no reason I should be any more upset by this than someone in California or Canada or Spain. Or, we all should have been inconsolably upset about all of them. I don't know. I'm so depressed about this and I feel like I should be because that's what empathy is, but at the same time I feel like I haven't got any right to be upset because I didn't lose my tiny precious child, and I got to hug her this morning and kiss her head and tell her I'd see her this afternoon after naptime.
 
It must be hard being so close, muppet. I'm sorry.

You aren't the only one agonizing...I have friends here who kept their children home today. Some are talking of homeschooling. Hoping you find the strength you need to get through one day at a time. :heart:

I didn't tell my kids. My son is too young and dd worries about absolutely everything already. I am a bit apprehensive about what she will hear from her peers today but am prepared to discuss it if need be.
 
Oh Muppet! I have been feeling the same way. I am beside myself with grief and just can't get past it and also feel guilty. I can say that previous shootings of children also have hit me hard but like you say not like this one so close to home. One of the funerals was held in my town (we are two towns over) and I stayed home all day because I just couldn't face passing the funeral home.

I told my 9 year old a bit about it. At the time it wasn't random so she felt safe but now that the story changed I am not telling her. I made her lunch and put her on the bus today realizing how lucky i was to have that privelage and to never take anything for granted but also a tad skiddish. This whole thing also put Crohns in a totally different light if even for a little bit.

We have many friends through swimming around there but since my swimmers are older not many were at that school. Only today the stories and connections are coming through. One swimmers cousin died...another swimmers friend was one saved by Ms. Soto, parents of a slain teacher are members of our church.

I truly do believe the whole world is grieving this event and also hope that it enlightens all of us to atrocities near and far that we should grieve and pray for daily.
