Maybe our yeti has gone back to Siberia?? :unsure: Now trending on Yahoo news:

"Bigfoot researcher and biologist John Bindernagel claims his research group has found evidence that the Yeti (a Russian "cousin" of the American Bigfoot) not only exists, but builds nests and shelters by twisting tree branches together.

"We didn't feel like the trees we saw in Siberia had been done by a man or another mammal.... Twisted trees like this have also been observed in North America and they could fit with the theory that Open Original Shared Link. The nests we have looked at are built around trees twisted together into an arch shape," Bindernagel told the British tabloid Open Original Shared Link."

Anyone have a nest in their garden?

OMG..............I'm gonna be looking around my outdoor surroundings very carefully from now on....... . . ..for large, twisted clumps of branches....

A nest that would hold our yeti would have to be a fair size. I would know this well, as I was the one relegated to the job of measuring his inseam for Amanda's wedding tux..... . . . .

I think the baby Yeti is still in my basement where he hibernated all summer. He should be coming out soon.

Gads. Pouring rain here. My thought process this morning has been:

Not riding my bike.

OK, 7:05 boat instead of 6:20

7:55 boat

do I have to go.....yes, dangitall.

PeOte--We took a ride the other night and somehow ended up listening to a radio station out of Toronto. (we have satellite, but Mark still likes to fool around with the dial) I think it was 720? Old stuff but enjoyable.

Hi everybody! Haven't been here in ages. :( Caught up a few pages, but not far back, knowing that I could get totally sucked in and lost forever.

Joess....I LOVE, love, love the new babies!

I'm glad that I see some of you on FB, and so am not totally out of the loop. Hoping that you are all relatively well. Hugs all 'round!

HAPPY GOBBLE GOBBLE TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE AND HOLIDAY BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE (THANKSGIVIANS OR NOT).

My boy is back home through Sunday and we go to Ct. overnight tomorrow (and as usual I have walking pneumonia). At least it won't stop me from enjoying the food - just the wine.

Rachelle, extra thoughts, blessings, and prayers to you. You're one of the strongest women I know. Just remember we're all here for you!!!

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Well.....as much as I hate cooking.....and doubly hate cooking food which I can NOT EAT!.....this Thanksgiving was one of the best. I am pretty much limited to meat and veggies, so I successfully tried 2 new EASY veggie recipes. Seasoned broccoli and oven baked asparagus(with parmesan cheese....yummm)

Back when my diet was less restrictive I would make and enjoy traditional family favorites.....praline sweet potatoes and homemade creamed corn, which I still cook for everyone else.(Oh wait, I made my brother fix the corn :P )

So my daughter made a pumpkin pie and hubby brought home a co-workers home-made sugar cream pie. He also had brought some persimmon puree with which HE made persimmon pudding! (ok....so it took twice as long as expected, delaying the start of the turkey. But I hear it tasted great!)

Let me explain something here.

Brian does not cook.

Ever.

So what is usually a very stessful and painful (bad back in a kitchen all day) event was actually only mildly painful and quite enjoyable.

We were also serenaded with NUMEROUS rounds of the ABC song thoughout the evening by my 2 yr old grandbaby, Alexis :rolleyes:

And best of all, I am reminded that a little over 2 years ago I came close to losing my son and husband at the same time, but they both are alive and healthy today. For this I am extremely thankful.

Doesn't get much better than that.

It sure doesn't. :):wub:

I've been thinking about you, Leeeesargh, over the last little while as I was sure that the horrific stories with Brian and your son were coming to us around Thanksgiving... . .....such a difficult anniversary to acknowledge, but it sounded so wonderful for you this year! :)

CNN just aired a program on Christchurch, NZ and the opening viewing of the Cathedral...as aftershocks continue. And awaiting the demolition of so many beautiful buildings. So sorry Shroomy! :( Hope your city recovers in glory!

Thanks for your post, Lisa - kinda teared me up :( which I guess is kinda psilly, 'cos it won't put the bricks back :rolleyes: I am not going to do the walk or the bus tour - just move on to the future and hope they don't build too many tilt-up concrete slabs with no soul :unsure:

Did they mention the ReStart with our one home-grown fine department store, Ballantynes, which survived a devastating fire in 1947, came through the quake in pretty good shape and is now reopened meeting 100% of current earthquake standards!! on City Mall, with a crazy bunch of shops and little cafes in two precincts created from new shipping containers? Sounds weird but is actually quite quaint :) Life goes on..... And by the way, ssshhh, but the aftershocks are becoming less frequent :D About time too!!!

I tried to find a video clip, but perhaps too soon. Not too sure about the ReStart. It caught my attention midway into the program.

The new ChristChurch will be better and stronger, as will the peeps! History and Heritage is created every day! ;):) And yes....ssshhhh

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
