I think Steve's hair looks awfully shiny and he doesn't appear to have any grey :)

Vincent your coffee method sounds great. French press is also fantastic coffee.....but would you believe I make my coffee in my single-serve backpacking plastic thing on top of my mug, for about 10 years now. It is really excellent with my gluten-fried cheesecake. ;)

Still menstrual and DANG those donuts sound great. Carla - ONE-FOURTH of a donut? the horror.....couldn't do it. I need the whole box right now or nothing at all.....

4) No roots

I can't get past the thought of a chocolate donut...not sure where I'll go from there...probably another chocolate donut...if I could only locate some gluten-free beer locally I might get crazy...and...and... show up late for work or something

OOOOooooo, late for work??? Beer and donuts is gross. Not at the same time, please.

I'm taking care of my roots tomorrow. In fact, tomorrow, my hair will be a completely different color than it is today. Time for a change. I'm fickle when it comes to my hair.

3) freshly trimmed

Oh, no, another coffee gadget I don't have!!! I've had an espresso machine since before I ever heard of Starbucks. Mine's a Krup. Is that basically what yours is, or does it make coffee not espresso shots?

Makes coffee. Complete with crema :)

2) Not tested on animals

I'll never forget when one of my pals introduced me to cowboy coffee...we were on a 5 day trip in the Adirondacks. I had run to take care of some "business", and when i came back he had the coffee brewing I remarked at how great coffee smells in the woods, and he said I could have the first cup. I went about my business(not "business"), and he handed me my mug full of steaming hot Java. I took a big gulp - a nice gulp of coffee grounds. That's no way to start the day! I've got one of those thingys now too!

You're welcome to join me for donuts on Monday(sorry I can't get them sooner). We won't be french pressing the coffee, but I can guarantee there'll be no grounds!

I know the sugar is really bad for me right now .... even a bite might be enough. I usually realize it's only the first bite or two that I genuinely enjoy .... so I'll have some other food waiting so I don't just indulge in the whole thing because I'm hungry.

So you're getting your hair done for your date with the french press? This is starting to sound more like diamonds and pearls to me!

How far are you from Cincinnati? :P I'm going to go buy my donuts today .... Wild Oats carries them. In fact, think I'll go eat lunch, then go over to Wild Oats, and get some almond milk while I'm there so I can let Patti know if it froths .... of course, I NEED to know, too.

Have a nice afternoon, Carla! And don't eat all the donuts on the way home :D I'll be interested to see if you can get the almond milk to froth--I do fine with it and it would be good to have a little variety.

We have a SS coffee maker, too. It's the one by Melitta. I gave it to my husband for Christmas a couple years ago--and he absolutely loves it--since he's the only coffee drinker in the family. My son's girlfriend liked it so much, she asked us for one for Christmas last year.

Steve's hair--very shiny and healthy looking.

My hair--Seriously considering having it cut--short in the back with full sides. Having a hair funk again--need to do something......

I don't like iced coffee. I'd be willing to try, but I really don't like it cold. I drink it hot all summer long. When I'm not drinking hot coffee, I drink hot tea instead.

True, nothing more needs to be said!

No, the donuts are frozen and I have tremendous willpower. I'll have no more than 1/4 of one on Sunday. Not supposed to have any at all!

You're just tired of your hair because it takes so long to grow! If you cut it will you be upset with yourself in a few days???? Don't do it!! Clip up the back for the same look. I wear mine in a clip a lot to get through the bad lengths ... (see avatar!!) Don't chop it off for being in a funk ... think about whether you really want it short or long, then stick with your decision. If you really want it short, that's one thing. If it's just cause you're in a funk, don't do it!

Only 702.2 miles.

It begs the question...(cue Klondike Bar theme) what would you do-ooo-ooo for a gluten-free cholcolate donut?

If you're only going to eat 1/4 of a donut it might not be worth the trip :P

I'm getting my hair done because that's what I've had to do ever since it got darker after having the kids and hubby no longer liked the color ... he's the one that started me on that! I was perfectly happy with my natural color!

The french press could care less about my hair color.

I think if you polled everyone here you are not alone (puts hands in pockets, hangs his head and kicks the dirt ) I admit it's in my cupboard too. I actually like their breakfast blend with dinner sometimes.

I used to do the "good beans-grind 'em yourself -french press" back in the day. Now I'm just happy to remember to fill the coffee maker and set the timer so I HAVE COFFEE!

That's the truth! Please, tell me what it means ... now I'm the slow one!

I've always (like, the other 2 times) heard it as "as jumpy as a fart on a skillet"...meaning fickle, or restless, indecisive...

It's definitely one of the more colorful expressions in the english language!

Oh, then I'm going to keep intervening to keep Patti from cutting her hair. I'm that way, too. That's why I change the color every couple months. When it was shorter, I changed the style every time!

Cheap coffee means you're drinking it for the caffeine if you can afford better and don't bother with it. If you can't afford better, then it means you're doing the best you can. I am VERY spoiled ... I buy good coffee. But I am too lazy to grind my own, so I do have it ground for me. If I get back into drinking it at home, I might buy a new coffee grinder like a friend of mine has that's much easier than the little one I have.

My coffee might be cheap, but my coffee TABLE is handmade! (toots own horn BEEP-BEEP)

Don't get me wrong I'm not a Folgers guy 24/7 (why do feel the need to defend my coffee here? :huh: )

I do treat myself every now and again. We have a Starbucks on campus, but they (the folks actually brewing the coffee) don't know what they are doing. The coffee is undrinkable sludge (I know, consider the source, the "Folgers guy"). I prefer the Green Mountain coffee I can get at the campus convenience store. If I could afford to drink the good stuff all day, every day I'd have a basement full of Kona and you'd all be invited for gluten-free coffee and donuts. (and beer for brunch ;) ) No need to get your hair done for coffee at my house! :P

      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 🤔

      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

      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.
