Sorry I got a bit carried away there (I could go on and on). I was on a sailing trip in the Whitsunday Islands - off the coast of Queensland, Australia. It was adventerous :)

JT is back and I got to ask him a question on the raido which was cool and Aurilia as well. OMG i got cain, ZITO, and Gardner to sign my sweatshirt, I also got signatures on the pictures of me and players with Lowry, Sweeney, Vizquel,Ellison, and I got a picture with Ortiz and Frandsen.

So rachel the new cute player to hope makes the team is BILLY SADLER

He is really really really really cute and i didn't make it in time for him to sign my shirt but i did get pictures of him!

well i must go but i wanted to update you.

AndreaB Contributor

Sounds like you had a great time Molly. :)

Vizquel was always my favorite.....from 15-20 years ago. More like when he was around his early 20's, playing for the Mariners up here.

flagbabyds Collaborator

yeah he's really cool!

frandsen is my new fav. cause he broke his jaw and had his jaw wired shut like mine was so i would talk with him before the games about how to get food in and stuff.

and then yesterday he was at the photo booth and i was trying to figure out if it was him and he looked up made eye contact with me and grinned and waved! then i knew it was him and it was cute so I went and got my pic with him.

oh and sadler's pic online is not very good.

I just wanted to update all my Rachelville friends on the longest week of my life.

It turns out that I will NOT be going to Greenland this year or next. I got a call this Monday telling me they have rejected my transfer! :angry:

I was upset for a day or so, but I am sure it will turn out for the best. At least I no longer have to leave my wife and kids behind for a year, but it manes having to wait and see if I can get posted to either COlorado or North Dakota next year. Both good locations!

It was very hard to get worked up to go, and to get let down in such an abrupt manner. THis is the first time since Monday that I have come in here to even read posts and get caught up on things.

Sorry this is so incohereant. It is early, and i am not thinking straight.

Talk to you all soon!

jerseyangel Proficient

Aw Ryan--I'm so sorry that it worked out this way :(

I'm a firm believer that things often work out the way they're supposed to. I hope that your next assignment will bear this out, and be the best choice for you and your family.

I'm glad you checked in--take care :)

dlp252 Apprentice

Ah Ryan, I'm so very sorry! I'm speechless really, cuz this all seemed to be so much a "go" for so long! I tend to agree with Patti about the way things work out.

Mtndog Collaborator

Ryan- I'm sorry too. This must have been such a let down after such a big buildup. :( But now you get to stay with your wife and baby girl!

Molly- You are always doing the coolest things!

AndreaB Contributor

Ryan,

It's a let down for you since you've spent so much time mentally getting ready for it....but it's probably a relief to your wife and child(ren).

I'm hoping you'll still get your assignments you want. All things do work out for reasons beyond our comprehension, although sometimes 20/20 comes into play later down the road, the lightbulb moment. :)

Ryan,

I'm sorry you didn't get the assignment....I know its a disappointment for you. :(

I agree that your wife and kids are probably relieved and hopefully better things are still in store for you and your family. Even though it was a let down there are definetaly some good aspects to look at. Things will work out for you. :)

the jacket also has zip off arms so it can become a vest.

yeah i'm going to opening day and it's during spring break this year so i don't have to cut school. :)

This gave me a chuckle, thought you would enjoy it too

Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary.

His wife was really angry. She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect

to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less then

6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"

The next morning Ed got up early and left for work. When his wife

woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box

gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and

brought the box back in the house. She opened it

and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Ed has been missing since Friday.

then all of Rachelville will like this!

words women use

1.) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are

right and you need to shut up.

2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.

Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more

minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something,

and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing

usually end in fine.

4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5.) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement

often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an

idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing

with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women

can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard

before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say

you're welcome.

8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!

9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning

this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but

is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's

wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.

*The pediatrician moved Kathryn's appt to today at 2 pm,it was booked for March 20 based on whatever GP said in referral letter. I sent a fax yesterday outlining her symptoms - fatigue, dark urine all the time, bilirubin and urobilinogen showing up on dipstick etc. Within 10 minutes of fax the office phoned and said, come tomorrow at 2pm. Some docs DO get it and listen to mom.

My hope is that chuckles and laughter help us over the scary things - jokes help us all. and my friends always send me these when they know I am worried about one of the kids.

So I am sharing them with all my Rachelville friends . :)

Sandy,

That's great that they moved it up. Makes me wonder how soon they would have booked if they had the info to begin with. <_< Hope all goes well today and we'll be waiting for updates.

jerseyangel Proficient

Hi Sandy,

I am so glad they moved your appt up to today. That must be a huge relief!

Thanks for the laughs--that list: are you bugging my house :lol: ? I've used a few of them from time to time :ph34r::P

      @catnapt,  I apologize.  Obviously I've confused you with someone else.  I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications.  Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.   You still have not said which new medication you started taking.  Parathyroid disorders can affect antibody production.  Bone Loss Correlated with Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Adult Celiac Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36619734/ Effect of vitamin B1 supplementation on bone turnover markers in adults: an exploratory single-arm pilot study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12075007/

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?
    • catnapt
      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
