Jin, I think you might have asked on the OMG thread, but since the hair discussion is here .... I think it is mainly a lighting issue ... it was blonde and dark this time and was last time. I have a little more blonde, but only in places you couldn't see in the previous avatar since it was such a close up. I still have the dark, but it was a much brighter place.

I dated a guy who looked like a cross between John Stamos and Charlie Sheen ... really good looking guy. :)

Tom, do you really want to know if the gentle glide are gentler??? I don't think you do .... I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Now we know why Patti likes Halloween. :)

Okay, okay okay...we do NOT have the Gentle Glider classification here in Canada. I know this, because I have travelled the country and likely shopped for these things in each province. Now why is that? Alex, have you seen these anywhere up here? Canadian women would appreciate gently gliding things as much as in any other country. Nikki, are they available in the UK? When I was over there I did NOT see them, nor in Paris...strictly an American thing? Man, we likely need a gentle glider more than anybody else, as it can be bloody cold through winter...And we could advertise MUCH better up here..."I'm an active woman, and I need the Gentle Glider," says a robust Canadian woman as she glides down a ski hill. :lol:

Carla- I think your hair looks great! Just for the record! :)

Yes- I know what a GENTLE GLIDE TAMPON IS. I'm a GIRL you goof (Tom) what I meant was I didn't know how King Richard knew. But not he has explained himself.

#1 - Married man

#2 - Have been sent to store a time or 2 before with VERY SPECIFIC grocery list

#3 - Prefer the manly blue box

#4 - Can never buy just what's on list...must bury said unmentionables under a stack of innocuous items.

#5 - Refuse to use coupons

#6 - Have been annointed "worlds Greatest Husband" on numerous occaisions rolleyes.gif (even awarded several distinguished service medals for meritorious achievement and going over and above the call of duty)

Hee hee!!!!!!!!!! When I was on my honeymonn in Costa rica I was accompanied by my friend which was NOT due anytime soon (I was told that getting closer to the equator whacks your body out :huh: ). Unfortunately the owner of the inn's wife was preggers at the time so no supplies so they sent Roberto out for "supplies". Try being SPECIFIC in espanol :o

Thanks. :)

I've heard of the gentle glide ones ... they've also changed the regular ones here ... Morgan and I are both upset they took the string out of the paper overwrap ... they're much more difficult to open. :P

No no no!! . . ...the angle I was interested in is whether it's another bloody obvious (to the women) marketing ploy thought up by a man.

(There'd been something similar discussed on OMG quite a while back, in which I was surprised at the unanimity of disgust at some tv comm'l)

At the risk of revealing too much personal information, I can vouch for the fact that the gentle glide are more gentle.

And the cardboard applicators are HEINOUS.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular
gentle.

And the cardboard applicators are HEINOUS.

I so agree!

. . . . you goof (Tom)

Whoa! 1st I read it as "goob". :D

Yoohoo! Pseu-zee!! Whatever happened to calling everyone a goob. :blink:

I think it's a fine word & and a nice reminder of Mayberry & Gomer's cousin.

(Ack!! Why the HECK do I remember that Goob was played by George Lindsay? Can trivia be much more trivial than THAT?) :o

<tom now regrets the gentle query into the presumed men's marketing of women's products> <_<

Yup--I agree. Of course, since I've had my hysters removed, I no longer have a need for them. B)

Stupid, pinchy cardboard :angry:

nikki-uk Enthusiast
And Tom, yes, you can come to my party

Can I come Bevy Wev ...oh please...I promise I'll behave !!!!

No 'Gentle gliders' here in the UK :(

At the risk of freaking Tom out (Richard can take it - he's married) I am strictly a Tampax brand girl .Do NOT like the plastic applicator types (doesn't flush)

Stupid, pinchy cardboard :angry:

:lol: Ooooer, yes, ...OUCH !!!! :lol:

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

For some reason the cardboard always made me feel "dirty" not sure why though.

elye Community Regular

I'm a cardboard girl myself. You just flush it away...gone forever, and totally biodegradable. Don't find it pinchy. So, are the Gentle Gliders (sounds like a freaking Olympic syncronized swim team) cardboard or plasic? Bev, did Roberto find you gliders in Costa Rica?

Lookie here--free gliders!

Me, too, but I've clogged too many plumbing pipes with the applicators, so stopped trying to flush them about 20 years ago!

That was the one thing my mom harped about the most when we lived at home. My sisters and I all used tampons, religously. My moms biggest thing was they are not flushable even if the box says they are.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Yeah, the most mortifying time was when I was staying at my step-aunt's while my mom and step-father were gone. I flushed ... I even waiting till it discintegrated ... a few minuted later, the ceiling started leaking in the first-floor dining room out of where the light fixture was. I don't know if they ever figured out what caused it, but based on the timing, it was apparent that I had. :ph34r: It was a newly-renovated historic house.

OMG- I take a nap and wake up in Tampon Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I have a confession, I hate them all, even the gentle gliders (that synchronized Olympic team). Just don't feel like THOSE belong THERE :ph34r:

You are ALL invited to my party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And while I was sleeping, Uncle ray was at it:

Choosing A Wife

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing

among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.

Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Men are like that,

you know.

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. :D

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      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.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. 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
