lauren LOOKS preggers here....maybe keeping quiet till further along but her belly looks pretty rounded.

agree! has always been a favorite of mine. i can watch her movies 100 times and not get tired of them. was so sad to hear this.

i thought the same thing -- makes sense with the muliple kitchens and large open areas.

i actually saw a similar display at church once when i was about 11/12. they were in those giant pickle jars, like 2 gallon. have never forgotten that experience. it wasn't scary so much as it was just plain curious and then to know those were real human babies, not plastic...that was amazingly sad. trying to think of how to bring this back to the subject at hand....can't. oh i know -- my daughter had a baby front pack that she used to wear with her doll in it. and a baby bed, car ....seat all the gimmicks. my granddaughter does not play with dolls. so weird.

aww hfc, i am so sorry. loosing our fur-babies never gets easier.

just read a lot of posts -- ya'll been chatty! so lets see... DragonFaerie - that is a blessing to get a good report about your husband. Christina87 - i gave up on dating and took a 1 year break from it completely to focus on God and my children. i met my husband later that same year at a backyard pool party for an 8 year old! emma675 - i am in the hairstylist dilemma myself. i did not make a follow up appointment last time with her or, in fact, with my nail team. i just got tired of confused appointments, and cutting into cowlicks and nail techs hurting me by making my wrist be in a difficult position for me. now i need to find all new but at least i am not now knowingly paying people to hurt me or hurt my hair.

i thought exactly that when i looked at the photo.

does this book address the issues of autoimmune disease in general? or is it more specific? i also have celiac and already have to modify my diet for that. i have been monitoring my b.s. for the two full days since that phone call and not even once was it high. as for the T3-T4, that's what they were referring to as the normal result, i guess.

thanks emma. i havent seen my results yet and i am hoping my doctor mails me a copy. BUT this is what i was told: 'everything is normal. but you are a 'full blown' diabetic now. take the Rx we have called in to your pharmacy. oh and lose weight'. they started me on metformin.

actually, i have refused it for my grandson and have instructed my children to refuse it for their children. i, personally, feel like not enough research has been done and far more damage as a result of that vaccine has been noted and even deaths related to it. YMMV...

wanted to let you all know that, because of our convos here, i requested and got a free T3 and free T4 test yesterday. waiting for the results along with the rest of the stuff.

@Jynnan tonnix, my friend sandy is reading your description about the polyp. she is asking 'has it gone through the wall" would you even know that yet? she was diagnosed 3 years ago with STAGE 4 colon cancer and has had 3 surgeries and is finishing up her chemo. she is fine - you'd never know she was ever sick. the doctor expects to declare her cancer free in august, at the end of this last round of chemo pills. be hopeful and positive -- it makes a world of difference. your friends here and there will support you through it!

@Nysha, i sure have thought about you and your missing sister over that past months but didnt want to ask for an update for fear of what i might hear. although i am glad you checked in, i am so sorry to read the news. i hope you all will get more information sooner than later and, in the end, learn the whereabouts of your sister. i read that article you linked but it left me with questions. why was he arrested? what leads the authorities to believe he has harmed your sister? is there evidence? and if so, is it enough to put him away so he doesn't hurt another person? my thoughts are with you. ETA: i did not see the police report attached to the link you shared. reading that now and understand the reasoning for believing that your sister is gone. @Nysha, my heart is breaking reading this!

I feel like I have aged thirty years in the last two, metabolism wise. I never thought that body would just be taken like that. If I can figure out what's wrong and get it back, I'll never take it for granted again! this is me exactly! i didnt realize i had to resign in -- i had been reading along as if it was all the same with a new header. i am a bit slow.....

i get it. i am SO grossly overweight after having spent my life on the thin side. i have gained 100 pounds over a two year span approximately. during that time my health took a dump, exercise was not possible...not even walking very far. now, i cant breath when i exercise but they keep telling me to lose weight. i eat gluten free and although i do eat too many carbs, i feel like i walk enough to compensate. i bought a fitbit and i am now following my steps and also working at physical therapy two days a week. GAH!!!!

whoa - that wasn't the article i thought i was posting. it was a very recent one with one of the twin boys in a 'relationship' with joe's wife's sister....cant think of joe's wife's name to save my life right now.

did ya'll see this: https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2018/07/duggar-family-members-who-will-actually-break-free/

wow - israel is his spitting image!

re: waking during surgery: i was having surgery done on my foot and had general anesthesia. i woke up while they we literally sawing the bone, heard the saw but felt nothing. they real quick loaded me with more meds and i went to sleep. and then i had an epidural with some drowsy meds for my hysterectomy when i was 29. i distinctly remember talking to doctor during the procedure, asking to seeing my uterus in the bowl and actually seeing it! i don't remember anything else, just that!

@JJANE, our weekend was so similar! that was miserable and i felt bad for you. feel better.

NO! that is just weird.

hello all. i have been offline for a week -- you wont believe why. well, you might! i went to vegas last weekend to use my christmas gift of tickets to see donny and marie. super looking forward to it, right. well just hours after landing, i ended up in the hospital with a suspected (on their part, not mine!) heart attack. after being there for about 20 hours, i said 'forget it' and left. it was a disgusting hospital and i was NOT missing that show for any reason. i saw the show, had great seats and...oh ...ran into donny and his family in the restaurant there. he was so very gracious and concerned about me. he invited me backstage after the show and chatted with me for a bit longer very privately. as a teen, i would have sold my soul for such a chance meeting. as a grown woman, i know that some things are just ordained by God and i believe this was just such a moment. i wasn't all screams and giggles like some of the other ladies there in the audience; just calm, happy and mature. it was the moment of a lifetime of dreams and i am so happy about it. i came home the next morning and ended up in the hospital again...for the same reason! three days later -- no heart attack but i do have a torn shoulder that the pain from mimicked a heart attack. ah...the life of a 62 year old., never dull!

yes, you would need a view from the bottom to tell gender clearly. when my DIL was doing invitro, the slang was to look for a hamburger (girl) or a turtle (boy). thats how the genitals looks on the u/s. kinda silly but when you so desperately want a baby, you have to find the fun in the process.

that is just not right.

i have not watched this episode yet but wanted to say that i live near that gilman springs facility. for many years, as i drove that little two lane road past it, i would get a scary feeling over me. i knew, in vague, what it was but did not have any inkling it was a modern-day house of horrors. even now, i avoid driving over that way. that all being said, i also had a feeling that if i had ever seen anyone running on the street (i.e. escaping) near there, i would stop and see if they needed help because the feeling of evil is truly real there. i cannot explain it but it is truly not a nice place, contrary to how beautiful they have made it appear on the outside. oh and it has barbed wire fences around it and the cameras - they are no joke! it is creepy!
