Nikki--I just woke up and haven't heard any news. Is this really true????

I saw him on TV with his little girl...how did he die???

What a shame?

Judy :o

A stingray barb pierced his heart while filming a documentary, ironically, about deadly sea creatures. Very tragic, freak accident.

How is your son this morning?

He seems much better, thank you - we can enjoy the day.... and the greeen tea helped ...

I just heard about Steve Irwin, It is so very tragic, and his family so young - how sad. I hope the media will give her some privacy during the next few days.

I'm so saddened by Steve Irwin's death...I just cant even believe it. His show had gotten me hooked on Animal Planet and for a period of about a year I wouldnt watch anything else...just Animal Planet. I was fascinated by the life he led....coming face to face with all these animals. I sometimes wondered if one day he would get hurt but since he was like a hero to me I kind of thought of him as invinceable. I feel like its a huge loss for wild life. :(

Sandy,

I wouldnt even have to be PMS'ing to be frusterated....I feel your pain. ;)

I would have had to finish the garage myself cuz I'd go crazy otherwise....then I'd be mad cuz I had to do everything myself. <_<

Been there...done that. Its very frusterating.

Thanks, it always feels better to know I am not alone...I will have to finish the garrge myself and re-organize the storage room for all his "stuff" he never looks at but cant part with...hmmm wonder if I could call "Clean sweep" to come to my house and do the garage and his office.. :)

Hi Molly, love your new avatar!

Stephanie, is it you who is moving? I hope it's going well :)

Sandy, hang in there. I second Andrea, take some deep breaths, and sit back and have that tea :lol:

Mango!! Yoiu are killing us with talk of these muffins, they sound soooooo good. Maybe one of our expert bakers will experiment with the list of ingredients and come up with a recipe. That's great you have been able to go to yoga, and visiting the outback sounds fabulous! Are you taking pictures??

Nikki, I just heard about Steve irwin too and I am so shocked and saddened by the news :(

Nope I am not moving. Not again this year. I never stay planted anywhere for longer than a year.. except this year.

I was really surprised about Steve Irwins death. I always thought he was a great person to be able to deal with those animals as he does. I feel for his family.

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Our weather turned out to be nice after all, after all the rain had blown thru.

Since reading about those Crocs shoes, now I am on a mission to get some. I want to be able to walk around Disney with them.

My son finally started a new thing.. he is beginning to point to things. I know that it doesnt sound like much, but with him being so far behind b/c of his prematurity.. every milestone is a celebration.

I hope everyone is well.. :)

Congrats!!! I know exactly what you mean. Everyone stared at me one day in a restaurant when my daughter finally sucked through a straw - she got it. I jumped up and said "GOOD FOR YOU! You sucked through a straw!!!!!!!!" :lol:

Not many understand the excitement except those dealing with developmental delays or prematurity isuses .

happy celebrations!!!! :D:D

They have the "real" ones at our Wild Oats ... don't know if all Wild Oats carry them or not.

I got my kids knock-offs at Target for $10. The ones at Wild Oats are $29.

Had this exact experience with my son!

Another funny one, when the twins were babies, one could do a "raspberry" & the other couldn't. He kept trying & trying & when he finally succeeded, my husband & I clapped. And that was when he learned to clap!

Why did I think they were expensive?? :huh:

$29 isnt bad...If I could find some tangerine ones....I might just buy a pair. ;)

They have them at Wild Oats?? The grocery store?? :unsure:

Tavi,

Welcome back. :)

At the Wild Oats I go to there is a rack with the crocs hanging on it. I think they consider them gardening shoes ... otherwise it definately wouldn't make sense.

Rachel, I've also seen them at all the local health food stores here, and pretty much everywhere, but Crocs is a local company so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Go to www.crocs.com (I can't seem to do links anymore for whatever reason?) and they have an orange "coral" color in the Cayman model.

Hi Tavi, welcome back :) Glad you had such a great trip visiting your son and family!

Stephanie, sorry I thought it was you who mentioned you were in the middle of packing for a move. I could have sworn someone said that here in Rachelville :blink: ...but then again I have had the brain fog.....

Congrats on your son's new accomplishment, I think it's exciting!

My BIL & his family all have Crocs... they look so cute together, like a family of ducks!

That's so cute Leah! :)

Yeah...and Judy gardens alot.....like me. They would probably be perfect for working in the yard. You guys say you can just rinse off the dirt?? That would be great but wouldnt they stain easily? I get grass stains on my shoes but just throw them in the wash and it comes off...I dont know about these plastic shoes though. :unsure:

Oh...they're not really plastic are they? :lol:

We are all going to be experts on crocs here in Rachelville.

This is what the website says about the material they are made with:

Croslite™, a proprietary Closed Cell Resin (PCCR) which is NOT plastic NOR rubber. Croslite™ is closed-cell in nature and anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates odor. it is an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material developed for maximum cushioning. its closed cell properties resist odor, inhibits bacterial and fungal growth and are non­toxic. this versatile material can be worn next to skin and be cleaned with just soap and water.

Who knew shoes coudl take up so many posts.

To continue though, there was a piece on the national news here last night about the factory where the crocs are made, and it was AMAZING! And no wastage of material due to the manufacturing process. Comfy AND bio-friendly! :)

Yep, this is true...inhibits bacterial and fungal growth..which i have to watch now with the lymphedema.

And we are helping the enviroment too...It's a win - win. Come on folks, just slip a pair on in the store. Honest they are more comfortable than my BSA shoes that cost $105.00 big bills.

Crocs Rock in Rachivelle. :lol:

Love you all. (Havent' been on much as getting over a 2 week very dark 'funk') Rachelville is bringing me back to life :rolleyes:

That is really good to hear Ryan.

I was reading about how the company started, 3 guys from Boulder, Co wanting to make a comfortable, stylish, waterproof, easy to clean boat shoe that didn't smell :lol: and they came up with crocs and the rest is history. There have been many news reports in the last year that they can't keep them stocked in the stores across the country because the demand is so high, they were having a hard time meeting the demand too, so they had to do some adjusting. Anyway, pretty amazing that something so simple blew up like it did, definitely a success story.

Judy, so good you are in such high spirits :):)

I haven't given in and gotten any crocs, but I did see a very pretty teal color the other day......

Wow...it looks like we'll all be sporting the Crocs in Rachelville! :lol:

I guess I better get on the ball and find myself a pair....for gardening purposes...definately not for the days I wanna appear somewhat stylish. :lol:

Yup Judy...they will be able to spot us a mile away while we're gardening in R-ville....the bright colored plastic shoes....in fact pretty much everyones feet will be glowing in R-Ville! :lol:

They are the perfect shoes for our town....Bio-friendly. :)

Well, as I told you I got back from my son's in Elko Nevada last night. Now my daughter has told me she is going to move there on Thursday and I am really sad :(

That leaves me just one daughter here, and all I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a mother, now what shall I do? :huh::huh::huh:

Elko is about 9 hours from where I live, so I can't go up there much. I am just really bummed, wish there really was a place called Rachelville

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

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

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
