Hi there everyone. Just a quick check-in. Having a lovely holiday – doing lots of walking and touring. We are now staying in a holiday house where on one side there is a bar and on the other there is an ice-cream parlour – the kind that sells fresh fruit ice cream – guess which direction I am heading in! Haven’t been swimming yet although the beaches look inviting.
The bunnies look really cute Mick – although it must be cold for them in the snow. How is everyone else? Hi there SL, Sam, SF, Pauly, Det, Lav and PPQP and Pie of course. Sorry it's a rushed job but you never know with these shonky internet connections.
No dramas as I said over Christmas – always a bit weird around family that one doesn't see very often – but it was good to see them all.

Pauly - have you tried dairy free for a few days see if that works.
No science behind this but just feel /or read somewhere that dairy can cause all sorts of mucus issues ?
Give it a go

Afternoon greetings Abbers

I was in a rush to get to Curves this morning. I'm starting to look like a giant holiday cookie, ha ha!!

TT, glad you are having a decent holiday. Get some beach pics for us, OK?

Mick, your bunnies are a lot braver than my chickens!!!
They won't play in the snow like that
Good luck on you leak mission today.

Pauly, I've been dairy free for a number of years now. I always let a little sneak in around the holiday & boy do I suffer. Give up the dairy for a while & it it doesn't help enough, try the gluten free route for a while. I feel my best when I stya away from both

Hi there Sam, hope you are getting some of this afternoon sunshine too!
Hi there satz, nice to see you!

I'm going to start putting some of this Christmas stuff away. I think I've had enough.
Wishing everyone a great AF rest of the day!

I don't really eat much dairy, I hate milk! Usually use almond milk,but I do eat cheese, maybe that's the culprit

Quick check in - oldest had her teeth out under general - difficult extraction so next few days will be fun ....NOT. She is miserable, hopefully we can make the next few days cheerful...
Called my Mum to let her know all ok, and she told me to get a stiff drink - did cross my mind, but also whilst in waiting room I wondered how I managed to keep everything going when drinking, so much easier to deal with without that added factor...
Have a good day all

[Samstone]

SL, your mother's response is oh so much like my pop's. Any event that was stressful was cause to "settle" his nerves with a stiff drink. "A bracer" was his term. And I chose the path. Whether gene related or not, certainly kids learn drinking by imitating!!

Poor kid SL,I hate the dentist! Luckily my bloated wisdom tooth gum went down when I was on the antibiotics for my dumb sinuses, but I still gotta go,grrr, hopefully she won't be in too much pain tonight

[Lavande]

Your daughter has an excellent nurse/mum to look after her SL ~ she'll be OK :hug:
Remember, kids heal so much faster than we do & that's a good thing. Keep her distracted with her favorite things - you know the routine.

Pauly, dairy is in almost all processed foods, you really have to become a label reader. Cheese, milk, ice cream are just the obvious things. There's salad dressings, canned soups & much more http://www.godairyfree.org/food-and-...o/hidden-dairy
You have to become a real detective to save yourself, ha ha!!

Sam, my parent's generation was big on pouring drinks for good news & bad. Yet my grandmothers never touched the stuff. Go figure.

[paulywogg]

Ahhh! I won't be able to eat anything!

[Pie]

Hi, TT, Mick, Pauly, Sam, Satz, Lav, and SL! I'm so late to the party today, think I'll just wish everyone a good night, and see y'all tomorrow.

Big hug for your poor girl SL. That will be very painful. Glad she is OK otherwise. Exhausted at this end. Too much sight-seeing!
