... I wanna play anyway! Technically, I didn't have a Thanksgiving at all this year as I am in England but on the Canadian Thanksgiving, Adrian cooked turkey and potatoes and stuff so we could pretent. 
Okay, I am thankful for...
-My Adrian, who is the nicest any person has ever been to me, who has taught me that all the horrible things the 'mean highschool boys' made me think about myself are not true, who will have 'Blockbuster Nights' with me when I know he'd rather be at the pub AND who as mad as I get at him, has never kept me mad at him for longer than an hour. And if he does, brings me flowers. 
-My sister, for being my friend as well as a family member and sharing 'my crazy mom' stories with me.
-DVDs, heating pads, herbal tea, and soft teddy bear and pajamas for bad tummy days
-Immodium!
-Reality TV shows
-My friend Arley for being not only the smartest and funniest person I know, but for knowing me since I was a baby and never getting sick of me. 
-Mango Sorbet
-Ergens - the Turkish restaurant that makes the best grilled chicken and rice dinner that almost makes you think you aren't eating chicken and rice (again!) 
-All my family and friends thus far not mentioned for making me stressed out, and then being my stress relievers - sometimes on the same day. 
-Bravissimo - the big boob store where I can actually buy bras that fit and are still pretty (I am going tomorrow, tummy permitting!)
-Next, Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins, and all the other stores I spent all my savings in... 
And last but not least..
-Everyone here on the boards!! I know everybody is mentioning it but I just wanted to add that it has really meant SO SO much to me this past year, as it has been exceptionally hard for me to deal with my stomach since being so far away from home. There were a lot of times that I really felt lonely and upset, and just coming on and even just chatting to people or answering other people's posts has really made me still feel connected to something. I know I'll probably be way busy once we move to Canada (and we won't have a computer at first!) but I will definitely not lose contact with all the people who have been so wonderful to me. I feel all weepy now, so I am gonna run away before it turns into a "Dawson's Creek" moment.
Luv you all!

I am thankful that it didn't snow here and I got to work on beautiful sunny days instead of trudging through snow. We will have plenty of opportunity for snow in the upcoming months! So I hope it holds off as long as possible! (I am a meter reader BTW )

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
