Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Grace, Funny you say that, Mitchel has come up with a new one. He runs around blowing into his hands - so now we have the pacing, heavy breathing, and then blowing into his hands...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Grace - Jacqui is not 100% GFCF. We are not that disciplined. We try as hard as we can, but with her now in school, it's that much harder. There is an alternative, digestive enzymes, that breakdown the peptides so they do not get absorbed into the bloodstream. If you'd like more info on this or want to talk about it off-list, let me know. I'd be more than happy to talk about in on-list, if it's ok with Jacquie.

I've touted our experience being casein-free. If I can do it, you can do it! As long as nobody says their way is the best or only way...you know the deal, and I know you'd never do that, Penny!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 > 1. You MUST have a minimum of four cats. This is essential (Sorry, Grace, > but you'll have to do it if you want to be a success like ME!) A dog that acts like a cat, a frog, and we used to have a guinea pig but now I have a nice grave complete with headstone in my yard. > > 2. Pay no bills until the bill collectors make personal visits, on their > knees, to you at your front door. Allow them to plead a bit for payment and > then pay them. Use the money you save, buying Star Trek original series > DVDs for your crazed oldest child (But remember: You will only get to have > a crazed oldest child if you do it ALL exactly right). Stark Trek VHS for , and everything by LLoyd Webber for . I make it a strict practice until they call asking where their money is, when I plead ignorance and confusion then paying over the phone if at all possible on their nickel. > > 3. Minimum of 5,000 books in your house. 4,999 just won't make it! Books > must be piled in most locations and in double on some book shelves. Sounds about right. > > 4.

We > recommend emptying videos, books and contents of drawers on to the floors > and finding a two year old to crumble rice cakes and throw cheerios around. > (This will be hard for Grace too; in fact, she probably isn't gonna make > it). Three year old and one year old in place of the two year old. This would be a very accurate description of our house 99% of the time. > > 5. Everyone must look very untidy all the time. As my sister once said > about our family photographs, " everyone has stained clothes and food in > their hands and they are gesticulating wildly while talking constantly. " Sigh. Again, Salli is describing my mob. I faithfully wash faces and brush hair at least once a day, usually before bed. On Sundays I do it just before we get in the van to leave. > > 6. All laundry must be kept in large baskets in the basement and people can > only find in season clothes by rooting desperately through the baskets. Out > of season clothes are put away neatly in drawers. No, even then the clothes are not in the drawers. Gail does not close her drawers as it is so much more convenient to look in them if they are open. It is even easier to see what you have if it is displayed artfully on the floor and draped carefully over the furniture. I think went to the same school. > > If you can manage all these highly important details then you too can live > my life. is close but she's got to get rid of before she can > live THE BEST AND ONLY WAY! > > Like me! Okay, I am not planning on getting rid of anytime soon, so I will claim a handicap with Gail and having other issues, though not necessarily spectrum they are enough to be very difficult to live with. > > Salli, a goddess to you all Does this mean I get to be one also???? who really laughed for the only time today when I read this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 OMG Penny, I would LOVE to know more!!! Jacquie was kind enough to lead me in the right direction, but like I said.... I'm HORRIFIED. But I agree with the fact that I must give this a try. I'm also interested in getting some vitamins. I don't know WHY it's so damn hard for me to sit here and actually compile the information!!! I have it all bookmarked, I just need to find a couple days to read and read and read.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2001 Report Share Posted November 3, 2001 Jacquie.... <big sigh> I am still so intimidated by this. I'm convinced now that I must try it, at least for a year. But boy... the prospect for changing my life around to accomodate this is just so daunting. I'm scared. And I don't like knowing you're right.
