Here in the province of Ontario, legislation was passed in 1997 that allows women to be topless in public. Interestingly, I have seen NO topless women at any beaches, parks or streets since then. We can do it here, but no one's jumping. I just can't be bothered....more area to sunscreen. Burned boobs do not sound fun. :o

:o:lol: Carla! Were you here in the days of the tassel-twirler discussion?? I was thinking that you were not - but that little comment indicates that you MUST have been.....or else your little lyme brain IS as twisted as ours! :lol:

I got nothin'. Um, first day of period, so wait, I got somethin' all right......menstrual bloat and cramps. :angry: Oh, and complete crankiness. Here is what I had last night for dinner, in no particular order:

vanilla ice cream

horrible caramels from the 99 cent store

Trader Joe's Spicy Soy/Flaxseed tortilla chips

sunflower seeds

and several pieces of bazooka bubble gum.

:ph34r::ph34r:

did I mention I feel (and look) like utter rubbish today?

harrumph.

Hey, that's not so bad . . .

ice cream . . . dairy

soy/flaxseed tortilla chips . . . soy . . .soybean . . . bean . . . vegetable

caramels . . . sugar pills . . . medication?

gum . . . doesn't count since you spit it out

You just gotta know how to spin it. B)

It was misfortunate that your caramels were horrible. :(

:lol: :lol: :lol:

excellent work, Janet, you nutty lady. :lol:

It was not only misfortunate (love the word) that the caramels were horrible.....it was misfortunate and SCARY that I ate them. But, guess what else. I pulled a George Costanza, and retrieved them from the trash. :ph34r::o:ph34r: that's right, I had thrown the rest of the disdainful caramels out (in their own bag, folks) and then got them out last night, in my menstrual dysphoria.

They are NOW thrown safely away into the hideous large trash can outside, never to be seen or eaten again.

Forgot to mention, I ALSO ate celery w/ peanut butter (vegetable + peanut i.e., vegetable). That was my main course.

:ph34r:

Hmmm would it be common in a country where even regular beaches are full of topless women? Or maybe that's rumor crossed w/ wishful thinking. Wait! No it's not!! I've been to a few beaches in Asia where Euros and some asians were topless. Hmmmmmm :)

Wondering who would "When in Rome" it if at such a beach - say . . .on a Greek island? :unsure:

:lol: Not I :lol:

At first I thought maye pulling a George Constanza was American code word for 'pulling a fast one' ..as in pulling off some amazing trick but then realised it was food related caused by menstrual dysphoria :lol::lol:

Done many a strange thing myself induced by m. dysphoria :lol:

BTW Susie - thanks for the recipe tips for the nutritionally sound dinner - (when menstruating) :lol:

Should there not been a tad more sugar/chocolate in there?? :P

Yes, I was here for the tassle discussion ... but I was seriously just trying to think about how to cover up the part you definately wouldn't want burned!

I love caramel ... I like it better than chocolate, always have.

I can't imagine how poorly I'd eat if I weren't feeding kids every night! That looks like a tasty menu to me! :lol:

And the gum, that was after dinner exercise! ;)

At least you didn't turn to discover someone watching!

W/ 9 seasons to cull from, there's gotta be scores of situations where "pulled a Costanza" works. The phrase deserves wider use, I say!! :lol:

Yeah, you're right, you're not argumentative at all .... :rolleyes:

Seinfeld, always thought he was hysterical until I saw him live ... he is his own biggest fan ... so pompous ... wouldn't even sign an autograph for a local restaurant manager who went WAY out of his way to keep it private that Seinfeld was dining there.

Totally different than Bill Cosby ... saw him live, too. He was awesome. Total class.

I saw Steven Wright once. It was a long time ago but we had a blast. I sat next to a friend of mine who would repeat the last word or two of his one liner and then giggle.

SW: "I'd kill for the Noble Peace Prize."

Friend: "gigglegiggle Peace Prize gigglegiggle"

I found her amusing - the person on the other side of her probably did not. :lol:

must comment on this however....

in fourth grade, Cosby came to play in a tournament at the tennis club which was my day care until I was.....well, in college, I guess. :lol: So, my best friend and I followed his wife and him (that IS correct grammar, in case anyone axes you!) out to the car, and shyly asked for his autograph.....he looks down at us and says....."awwwwwwwwww Man!!! I don't think so" and then just swiped his finger onto each of our palms. :angry: In a very condescending way. So...I have never liked him since. :huh: But yeah, I'm sure Jerry is very pompous.

Oh Lord- you sillies have been busy! I have to catch up but wanted to add these first:

1. the Even Stephen debates from the daily Show...so funny. Here's Open Original Shared Link

Actually halloween is pretty funny too!

And another from fresh Uncle Ray:

It was the mailman's last day on the job after 35

years of carrying the mail

through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood.

When he arrived at the first house on his route he was

greeted by the whole

family there, who congratulated him and sent him on

his way with big gift

envelope.

At the second house they presented him with a box of

really fine cigars.

The folks at the third house handed him a selection of

terrific fishing

lures.

At each of the houses he was met with congratulations,

farewells, cards, and gifts.

At the final house he was met at the door by a

strikingly beautiful blonde in a revealing negligee.

She took him by the hand, gently led him through the

door, which she closed behind him, and led him up the

stairs to the bedroom where they had a most passionate

liaison.

Afterwards, they went downstairs, where she fixed him

a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage,

blueberry waffles, and fresh-squeezed orange juice.

When he was truly satisfied she poured him a cup of

steaming coffee. As she

was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out

from under the cup's bottom edge.

'All this was just too wonderful for words,' he said,

' but what's the dollar for?'

'Well,' she said, 'last night, I told my husband that

today would be your last day, and that we should do

something special for you. I asked

him what to give

you.' He said, ' Screw him...give him a dollar.'

The blonde then blushed and said, 'The breakfast was

my idea.'

      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.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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?
