OK- part two of the student who alluded to the Police in his email (in which I asked him if he had read that book by Nabokov). He came in looking MORTIFIED today. That book by Nabokov is Lolita and it is NOT a nice book! I mean it's a great book, but it's not exactly what you want to allude to in an email to your teacher. :P

However, a friend of mine sent me this email:

"Good luck with grading papers - of course, in a non-King of Pain kind of way. I hope you don't have to find a new "career" like Roxanne did. I'm sure your students know that Every Little Thing you do is Magic, and that Every Breath you Take is providing the Synchronicity that they need to help them get their degrees. And if they don't, well, there's always Murder by Numbers..."

BA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

OMG, a guy has come into work a couple of times....not my type.....gave me his phone number, clearly wants to go out....so I called him tonight. Fun conversation. who cares. Told him I was DAMAGED and we could be friends, maybe, at best. He said, did you NOT get my marriage proposal? okay, so he's funny. Not my type. BUT......he REMEMBERED that I am Celiac, says he's coming in on Saturday with a gluten-free gift for me......

Carla. Where was the leg? what'd I miss? I didn't see Richard posting the leg anywhere. And I'd know what it was, have seen that movie a hundred times. :)

I am SOOOOOOO BUSY! This will last until about the middle of January :(

I miss you all too. :)

So I'm away for a bit and you all have been busy ...

1) Seducing students (Beverly, what will we do with you!)

2) Getting Lyme Disease (Sorry to hear, but happy you've finally got an answer Carla)

3) Getting engaged before the first coffee date?? :blink: (Was is the architect with the pencil fetish as i predicted?)

Must go prepare for an appointment.

Try to stay out of trouble (or jail in Bev's case ;) )

Do you see the leg now? If not, refresh, he's still got it. I think I may get Adam one of those lamps for Christmas!! :lol: He has a little room he's finished in the attic, it would be hysterical, it actually is a front window, but through the dormer in the roof. LOL

Richard, I didn't "get" Lyme while you were gone .... just got diagnosed with it!! ;) It's great knowing that I'm really sick and not a hypochondriac ... of course, I've always known that ...

Beverly, I missed the first part of the story about the guy emailing you about the book ... is this a different guy than the brown-noser?

Okay, I have a funny "A Christmas Story" type story. I was dressed up in a rather conservative dress, so I wore fishnet stockings with it. My very young son (he was about 6), said, "Mom, I LIKE your tights!" It really reminded me of that scene in "A Christmas Story" where the boy looks at the lamp leg .... maybe you had to be there, but it seems men of ALL ages like fishnets.

no richard, unacceptable answer. You are required in this thread... you started it! :P:P

No jail for Bev.....he started that one. Yes- Carla, same brown noser student who went a LITTLE too far in his brown-nosing and got embarassed (as he should!). I see him for conference today- he will be SCARED (I am so frightening in person :P:lol: ). Actually, I can count the number of times I've been truly angry with someone (annoyed, aggravated, yes, but not angry) and it's NOT pretty. I'm a Scorpio :ph34r: I love my peeps fiercely. :wub::wub:

RICHARD!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Bev is absolutely right. it is an UNACCEPTABLE answer and we will not have this. No, no, no, no and again no. You are REQUIRED to check in at least once a day!!!!!!!!!!! :angry::P:angry::P:angry::P

all right, the dingos are pacing, I just got home from work (um, I have some power there now as the other "shopgirl" (reference to the bored girl in Steve Martin's novel) has quit! because she is TOO miserable there! So, they are being EXTRA nice to me now and I repeat, I have power. B) Kinda fun. But, it means the dingos are alone for long periods of time.....not so good :huh: . so anywho they are beyond staring and onto pacing, I have to take them out in the cold and dark, in teh community of STepford a-walking we will go.

Whereas, I have nothing to say after the whereas. :huh::lol:

and it's my big TV night, The Office, Gray's, and then my new favorite, Men in Trees. Big night here.

what an exciting life I lead. :lol:

oh, the guy who is not my type who asked me out came in today. you may remember, last night I finally got around to calling him on the phone to tell him that I couldn't go out with him. So, he comes in today, to buy something, and then says, I almost called you back last night to tell you good night. :huh::ph34r: Um, scary and stalkerish, and I told him so....... :huh:

Did you happen to mention the your collection of skull crushing artifacts? :blink:

I wouldn't eat any of the gluten-free stuff he brings...you might wake up in Thailand or something :blink::o

If he was buying anything sharp or pointy i would DEFINITELY PASS and get an unlisted number. What kind of creep is this? He sounds more "Divinyls" than "Police" if you get my drift :ph34r:

Glad you're wielding some Dingo-tude at work. :)

Um, waking up in Thailand.... :lol: yes, I'll watch for that. I gotta get rid of this guy. The skull-crusher won't do it.....the guy is HUGE. Maybe 6'5" and over 300 pounds? :huh: well I suppose a strategically placed whack to the head....... :lol:

anywho so glad you checked in Richard. You're off the hook, for today.

Carla...you DEFINITELY must buy that lamp for Adam and put it in the window. Too funny.

okay.....gotta figure out what to do with today.....too many heinous things on my list. ugh. :angry:

Time to get some Open Original Shared Link...

maybe a set of Open Original Shared Link or a SHINOBI-ZUE even a KUSARIGAMA would be helpful. The bigger they are the harder they fall, so aim low and stand back. Use your dingo-like quickness to your advantage :)

Maybe you could use this to your advantage. Maybe you could get him to sit on the annoying brother. Then buy him a bunny "I will love him and pet him, and call him George" and send him on his way. :)

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?
    • knitty kitty
      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D? References: Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies: keys to disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8533683/ The Effect of a High-Dose Vitamin B Multivitamin Supplement on the Relationship between Brain Metabolism and Blood Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress: A Randomized Control Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6316433/ High‐dose Vitamin B6 supplementation reduces anxiety and strengthens visual surround suppression https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9787829/ Repurposing Treatment of Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome for Th-17 Cell Immune Storm Syndrome and Neurological Symptoms in COVID-19: Thiamine Efficacy and Safety, In-Vitro Evidence and Pharmacokinetic Profile https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33737877/ Higher Intake of Dietary Magnesium Is Inversely Associated With COVID-19 Severity and Symptoms in Hospitalized Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9132593/ Magnesium and Vitamin D Deficiency as a Potential Cause of Immune Dysfunction, Cytokine Storm and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in covid-19 patients https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7861592/ Sulfonamide Hypersensitivity https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31495421/

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B
