well now that IS true - southern France is on the med. So, Bev is perhaps Southern French. My French ancestors, surname of Michel, were Huguenots - crazy French protestants, right? I"ll have to research more. Have always had a curious vigilante streak adn a strong sense of justice....did I tell y'all that my great-great-great- and maybe one more great uncles were the Garrett Brothers (for our friend across the pond, Sheriff Pat Garrett hunted down and killed Billy the Kidd, famous Wild West outlaw). :D

Wow- now that's cool!

GONE mad?? Jess I think we were mad to begin with............;)
That was clear from page 1 and it's ALL Richard's fault!

Black Irish is HOT. ;) And bev, you are the hottest one on here. Also the coloring of Michael Douglas's wife, what's-her name, oh yeah, CAtherine Zeta Jones.....although she is Welsh and would flog me. :ph34r:

It's definitely interesting. I first heard about it in The Secret of Roan Inish (if you haven't seen this movie, it's SO beautiful!) The Black Irish are supposed to not only be dark in color, but have dark personalities :ph34r: And Lord knows, I have a DARK side. CZJ is gorgeous. Susie- I'm blushing at your complliment :rolleyes:

Now go watch The Secret of Roan Inish. I want to be a selkie! :D

oh my gosh, I have seen that movie.....it was wonderful. Mysterious and quiet and beautiful and haunting. I can't remember what a selkie was, though.

what am I doing here? ugh, dreading going to work today and procrastinating. I was never given my schedule for this week, assumed I was going in at 11 or 12 today, so I called them last night, she tells me 9:30 a.m. BAH!!! "the hell you say!" :lol: I almost blurted out, laughing. Not busting my arse to get in there. :angry:

I need a job like Richard's, where you can play on the computer for 9 months of the year.................I seriously can't stand on my feet on concrete for 8 hours a day......

Hmm. I may be a "Black Irish" as well. Dark brown hair, brown eyes, white white white, but turn a darker shade of pale in summer. AND, my maiden name was Farrell. (No relation to Colin...that I'm aware of, so don't ask for intros.) It used to be O'Farrell but was dropped a few generations ago upon arriving in Nova Scotia. Too ethnic.

Don't ask me how I got two little blue-grey eyed blondies. Recessive genes are weird. Or my 1 dark hair/dark eyes gene wasn't enough to overpower the genes from my mom or my husband's whole family.

Er, yes...thankyou Susie...my American history is sketchy...but I am fascinated by everyones heritage.

Been thinking about trying to trace my family tree .

I quizzed my Mum today

She said her Paternal Grandmother was French (Northern France) and Paternal Grandfather was German (Hamburg)

Apparently my Grandad's original surname was' Schmidt', but had to change it to 'Smith' living in England during WWII!!

No info on her Mothers side as she left when she was a baby <_<

My Dad's Scottish/English

Hmmmm a mixed bag indeed!!! - I am a mongrel!! :lol:

GONE mad?? Jess I think we were mad to begin with............;)
You don't have to be mad to come here, but it does help :blink:

CAtherine Zeta Jones....

I think Terry (hubby) would like me to wake up as her - or see CZJ in a kilt...I'm not sure which he'd prefer :unsure:

He's had a thing for her for a long time!! :lol:

Susie Q- A selkie is....Open Original Shared Link

Remember in Roan Inish one of their ancestors had a selkie for a wife?

OK- I NEED a good laugh and then I (kind of) had one. Gallows humor follows.

So I see my physiatrist today- the guy I see for my muscle/arthritis problem. Well, I tell him that my right armpit is tender so he checks it and says it might be a lymph node or a lump (right boob) and to make an appt ASAP with my OB/Gyn.

So... I call and this is the coversation:

"Hi, this is me. Dr. Doolittle (alias) did my baseline mammogram and today my physiatrist found a lump in my right armpit so he wants me to have it checked out ASAP."

"Your podiatrist?"

I burst out laughing and say" No, PHYSIATRIST, musculo-skeletal doctor"

"Oh dear God, I was going to ask you what your foot doctor was doing looking for lumps in your breast!"

Me still laughing...

"Yeah, uhm...that would be odd. He's a very special doctor :lol: :lol: I was afarid you were going to think I said PSYCHIATRIST which would be REALLY suspect" :ph34r:

We both could NOT stop laughing for the rest of the conversation. It will henceforth be referred to as my "laughing lump" and yes, I will let you know what happens. My appt is at 9 am tomorrow (Susie- you'll still be snoozing!).

diane Lane IS hot, but that movie - - - it was a stinker! But Bev is right, Under the Tuscan Sun was fabulous - - I remember I went purposely alone to see it, so I could soak in eveyr minute.....I cried....wondered if I'd ever go to Italy again. *sniff* :huh:

BEV - - - oh dear Gawd that story was incredibly funny!! *snort* :lol: but yes, keep us posted. I had the same thing a few years ago, really tender armpit but with a noticeable lump - - - was just a big ol' giant cyst or something that went away on its own. (I did go to doctor and he could tell right away what it was.)

I am in a cranky pisser of a mood, wonder WHEN this will pass. Dang, R's best friend came into work today, adn we chatted about that..............holy cow, will I EVER be done with this??????????? :angry::huh:

Nikki, we're ALL mongrels!

the girls are staring, they do not like it when mommy's gone all day. Must see what they need.

You need battery operated tassels then! Ironically, I tried to google them, but all the sites that came up were in the UK.

maybe you should contact VS with an idea for a new and improved (read: "high end") product - inserts with integrated self powered (with "Open Original Shared Link") tassels. The tassels would get their charge from the natural undulations of the female form :rolleyes::ph34r: in the summer one could swap out the tassels for mini fan blades, and - L :blink::blink: K OUT! instant personal (very) temperature control!

I've probably just ruined any chance of profiting from this marvelous invention by revealing it in this public forum, oh well B)

That's the beauty of the system. (again, I'm divulging too many trade secrets here...) Since the power plant, if you will, is located in the falsie the oscillation of the falsie is what powers the system. So the bigger the falsie, the more wattage = more twirlage. However, I wouldn't go TOO big, as you might need to apply for a pilots license :blink:

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
