I'm celiac so I haven't had wheat in 5 years now. I've also recently dropped most grains and dairy. I was having continued health issues so I increased my vege intake and reduced grains, finding other starches to fill the gaps. It's irritating to have to limit myself and cook from scratch so much, but I feel SO much better, asthma issues are almost gone, and as long as I stay away from dairy, my joints don't swell (arthritis runs in my family). I think my body was having a hard time after being undiagnosed celiac for so long, that even going on a gluten-free diet wasn't enough to heal the damage. I cheat here and there always regret it. I think the real test is how you feel as not everyone has wheat issues. It's a good idea in general to increase veggies though if you'r anything like me, as I've never eaten much of them. Now I'm finding ways to get quite a bit in per day.

Rainfeather, I hope the diet helps you. I know it helps people with autoimmune issues. Not sure of epilepsy but worth a try!

SDS, I thought constant headaches were NORMAL for most of my life. I thought it was just something some people had... I have almost NONE now that I'm paleo; aside from the first week or so of headaches due to removing most carbs from my diet but since then the only headaches I've gotten have been when I haven't had enough water in the day. It's CRAZY how much some food groups affect me. My hubby thinks I'm crazy when I say my knees are hurting because I ate dairy the day before but it's true. I know because I didn't want to believe it so I tested it OVER and OVER until I couldn't deny it (I LOVE dairy).  Grains tend to affect my mood, if I break down and have a bowl of cereal, I feel wretched and cranky for a good 24hrs. If I cheat a lot, I get anxiety too, so best to not cheat so I can be healthy and the best me. Now to work exercise in...

My sheepdog used to and yes, the doggy oils kept my bedding filthy. My little pup now sleeps under the bed, but comes up for cuddles now and again, she prefers to sleep under the bed for some reason, she's a little cave-dog! I have a mat under the bed that she sleeps on to protect the carpet and I wash that from time to time as it gets stinky under there!

I would get  a doggy blanket if I were you, keep that on top and try to train the dog to stay on that blanket. That way it will minimize the staining of your good blankets, while allowing you to have pup in bed.  That's what one of my friends did with hers.

I usually boil my teabag in the water when making chai... so when I make real tea, I forget and snap off the string and have to scoop it out with a spoon... every single time... why can't I remember what I'm doing?! Likely because I haven't had my tea I guess

Hey, if it's still functional, just tell him it's a cool new look that everyone on pinterest is doing!

I'm all caught up again! Does anyone else scream a bit inside when they kill a monkey? WHO WAS THAT MONKEY?!

Loved the heart thing, so sweet. One more episode, then the finale! 

Oh wow, so cute!

Way to go!! That must feel awesome   I'm getting better with money. Last year I set a realistic budget and a plan to pay it all off. I've done pretty well so far. Can't wait for it all to be paid!

Wow, that's aweseome! Congratulations!
