Townspeople of Rachelville.................................I need your help!!

I have a job interview Monday and I'm nervous. They just called and set up an interview.

What I need from you is to "Say a little prayer for me" (sings the song from My Best Friends wedding) I have been praying and praying that I find a job. I keep telling God that if this is the job that I am supposed to have then please help me get it. So if you don't mind......... :D

It is for teaching Kindergarten................*sigh* I'm totally going to freak out until Monday.

Karen,

I'm pretty sure roller derby was the 70's

For some reason it reminds me of that song by the Bay City Rollers,

S, A, T, U, R, D, A, Y....NIGHTS!!!!

Karen, roller derby would be a fun way to work out our agressions due to our health issues, much like my punching bag :lol::lol:

Jessica, I will be thinking good thoughts for you!!! Best of luck with the interview and keep us posted how it goes :)

I took ice skating lessons in the 70s when it was really popular then, around the time of Dorothy Hammill (sp?) and the movie Ice Castles, LOVED that movie. :

I loved Ice Castles too. Did you ever see The Cutting Edge? I liked that one too, especially the end skating sequence.

LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE (Melissa Manchester)

Please, don't let this feeling end,

It's ev'rything I am,

Ev'rything I wanna be;

I can see what's mine now,

Finding out what's true,

Since I've found you

Lookin' through the eyes of love

Now I can take the time,

I can see my life

As it comes on shining now;

Reachin' out to touch you,

I can feel so much,

Since I've found you

Lookin' through the eyes of love.

And now I do believe,

That even in a storm, we'll find some light;

Knowin' you're beside me,

I'm alright.

Please, don't let this feelin' end,

It might not come again;

And I want to remember

How it feels to touch you;

How I feel so much,

Since I've found you

Lookin' through the eyes of love.

A couple of years ago, I decided to "re-learn" to skate so I could mess around with Walker at the rink and help him learn to skate. Before I decided I'd get a stick and try to play hockey with him, I was at the sporting goods shop and I asked the fella if I should get hockey skates or figure skates.

Him: If you want to fall on your face - get figure skates, if you want to fall on your a$$ get hockey skates.

Me: Hockey skates it is!

We had a parents vs. kids hockey game last March and I had a blast! Too bad I can only turn to the left, can't skate backwards and use the boards to stop or I'd go to the women's shinny at our rink. Now Ty's signed up for hockey too. I can hardly wait. He's so little the equipment will outweigh him. Evaluations start Sept. 6th. :blink:

:lol::lol::lol:

Too true!!!

When I took lessons as a kid, I had constant bruises on my knees and hips from falling on turns, jumps, etc. I only got far enough along to do a single axle though :rolleyes:

One of the first things I learned in skating was the hockey stop, so that we could spray the boys with ice :P

Much more fun than a boring and slow t-stop...and you get some awesome ice off of those sharp figure skates ;)

That's so awesome about Ty!!!

It IS addictive.

Just so you all know, I got the news yesterday that I am going to GREENLAND next summer.

I will be there for about a year, leaving the wife and kids behind here in Saskatchewan. They inform me that my diet is not a problem (which makes me VERY happy). I don't have much in the way of final details right now, but will post them as I know.

Back to the conversation at hand -- I have not been roller skating in some time. I grew up in a city of 750K people, and we only had 1 rink (not very popular I guess). I miss it, but would not remember how to skate at all.

Gotta run. Talk to you all soon!

We got our 6 year old some roller skates for her birthday. She loved them! We probably don't get out there & roller skate as often as we should but when she does she has so much fun.

Well, hubby and I were on a business trip (everything was free for us, the manufacturer paid for all our food, company paid for Adam's plane tickets and hotel). I did not gamble, but spent my $ on jeans!! I said that I'd rather something to show for what I would have lost anyway!! <_< That is the same trip where we went to see Aerosmith ... the jeans were cheap compared to the concert tickets! Okay, it was a splurge, but it's been a long time since hubby and I were anywhere minus kids ... problem is, once you wear expensive jeans ... ugh. And Guess jeans are made for those of us who end up as thin as a rail!!

Congratulations, Ryan.

Chelsea, we need a pic of the new color!

Well, gotta run. Sorry I didn't read everything in detail ... I have much more energy today, so I think I'm finally beating this virus.

Have a great day! I miss Rachelville! Morgan says hello and she might get on for a while.

Jenny,

Welcome! :D

Would you just like to be a "visitor" or would you like a job (application on page 1) and to become a "resident" of our paradise community? We would need to know your interests/hobbies to be able to better place you if you'd like to be a "resident". :P

Ryan that's great! I know you wanted this post. So in about 1 1/2 you get to go to Colorado Springs? Was that it? I know it was a Springs. :P It's great that the diet won't be a problem. I second Patti, how is the family taking this?

Linda, this sounds like so much fun!!! I want to learn how to skate now. Sounds like hockey skates are the way to go.....and lots of padding :lol:

Ryan, CONGRATULATIONS!! Great news, so happy for you!

Hi Carla and Morgan, miss you guys! Get back to Rachelville soon :)

You know what would be so much fun? If we all got together for a big Rachelville party and go roller skating. I think that would be a blast.

Good morning Andrea, how are you and the kids??

So anyone have any good plans for the weekend?

We are supposed to go racing but it is 40% chance of rain. That is no fun at all.

I guess we might go antique shopping or something like that if it does rain.

I don't really have any big plans yet. I will go to a pilates class on Sat and yoga on Sun so far....maybe go look at some model homes for decorating ideas.

Antique shopping sounds fun SusanW, are you looking for anything particular??

No, it is just something I like to do. I never really know what I'm looking for until I find it.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
