So I have the fleet all lined up for us. I would also like if we could bring Bon Jovi with us. I think he is gorgeous and he sings great too.

:o OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bon Jovi!!!!!!!!!!!! major HOTness. I forgot, I"ve even had dreams about him. (no, don't like his music, never have, just think he is THE HOTTEST.........) Thank God he's coming!!!!!!!!! and girls - - - BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's MINE, all MINE!!!!!! moo-hoo-hooo haaa haa

Okay, I am fulfiling my duties right this minute...I am going to help some sad soul right now. I'm breaking free of the strict Silly environs for some serious discussion with troubled people on another thread...some reaching out. Here I go, now...no flip play on words, clever innuendo, just words of support. And NO LAUGHING....

:rolleyes:

Stay strong, little soldier......be strong.......reach out as only the sillies can............... ;)

Went fishin' and got nuttin'. <_<

I KNOW!!!! most curious. Are we truly, the ONLY complete nutball/whack cases on here, out of.....18,000 people??? :huh: Did we wait too LONG to remove the gluten from our enfeebled brains?????????? :blink:

You can't do that while Heroes is on! I just couldn't concentrate for the last half! :lol:

:lol: :lol:

And for the record (because it was questioned) I didn't get the new feature until I had made 501.

Now, spill the beans . . . secret handshake? . . . password? . . . matching T-shirts?

Yay!!!! listen everybody - - DO NOT TELL Janet what happens after post 501 - - PLEEZ!!!!!!!!!! I don't think she's ready...............I'm just not sure she's earned it.....

now, if she SENDS the rolled/iced sugar cookies w/ decorations.....THEN we will talk about it.....

Awww, poopy cow, I wanna be in the 501 Club!

Poopy Cow is the cuss word I tell my kids to use.

POOPY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there some 'Most Friends' contest I haven't heard of, as my time has been entirely spent in pod-related activity?

3 of ya added me in the last day & a half!! :o

But before that, I was officially acknowledged w/ Friend status exactly ONCE, by someone I don't actually know at ALL - just know of. (xxxxxxxxx25 btw)

:huh::unsure:

Well, I have a BIG confession to make. I have no idea what making someone your friend on here does,--why we do it, what the perks are...Richard suddenly became my FIRST friend a couple of weeks ago, and then more followed. I tend to be something of a sheep, and follow the great flock, so now I have started "befriending"...Do we go to each other's houses? Can I borrow makeup or books from you guys? Do I now have special access to your hidden journals? "Add as friend"...it's a lovely option, and when I get an email announcing that someone has put me on their Friends list, I'm just all warm inside. But I wanna go to some of my friends' places... :lol:

When I added my friends on here I looked at it as people who I can always count on. We may have never met, and some of us maybe never will but you are always a mouse click away (times ahve changed and phones are no longer the first choice in contact)

We laugh on this thread, but there have been threads outside this one where we have helped one another and I look at my friends on here just as I do off of here. You guys have helped me.

My newest friends on here are all my sillies :)

Well, you're in the right spot to get there as fast as you can. If I had just stuck with the other threads, it probably would have taken me over a year to get there.

BTW . . . I noticed (from your profile page) that Scott paid you a visit. Hmmmm . . . what's going on between you two? You're not getting any "favors" from him are you?

We've heard that Tom is also into...inflatable things. So the spiked heels may not be on his borrow list, but I notice that in our basement we have a blow-up Santa for our front lawn. ...If you're looking for that sort of thing, Tom. I have to think about whether or not I actually want to hear your answer; this is a Santa Claus effigy, after all... :o:lol:

Okay, I still don't know why we officially make some people "friends". I assumed that you guys already ARE my friends. :) We can send personal messages through PMs to anyone without having them on our "Friends" list. What am I missing? :huh: It's gotta be more than borrowing good stuff... and Sarah, what's with the full email box?! I never get emails! I'm out of some huge loop....story of my life... :angry:

Lye's my last name. Quite horrid-sounding, really, and it's a toilet cleanser. But at least it's very short to write and spell out to someone. (you can imagine the kidding I got in public school..."Em's a liar! Liar!") My pants were always on fire... :(:rolleyes:

Ahhhhh yes . .. ... . I SHOULD have already stated that it's all full up & ready to roll!! :) :)

Well, not roll exactly .. . . . .it's pretty kewl how they do it. It's like moving ships in drydock. A big contraption detaches from the truck, like a frame on wheels, and surrounds it to be lifted and moved around w/out any tilting or ramps.

The contraption is almost its own vehicle, but I think not since the guy 'driving' it isn't riding in it - just standing/walking.

I'm guessing it'll be on a train for the trip to the Bay Area.

Ahhhhhhh my wonderful Bay Area . . .. .. .home once again. :) :) :) :) :) :)

Goodness! I won't avoid the issue--kept my maiden name...but don't get me started on that. Although...I must ask this: Amanda, are you keeping your last name?....say you are...! ;):)

Okay, so now I'm REALLY a'wonderin...(Thank you, Tom): Not only do I not understand why we make a special Friends list, I haven't understood the dynamics of such list. A few people have put me on their list, and I figured that because we're "Friends", they would be consequently on MY list as well. But nooooo.....So I have to put these people on MY list? Duuuhhhh...what a way to run a railroad. So, here I was thinking I was getting an impressive Friends List in my profile, but there's only Tom. Tom, you're my only friend. :(:P

Huh?

I was surprised, on my 1st beFriending, getting the PM to inform me I'm a Friend of someone I don't think I'd ever talked to, even once!

I'd expected an opportunity to say ..

SILLLLLLLLIIEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(shaking head)

You need not fret so over the FRIENDS list. It was a feature added - maybe a year ago? None of us is sure why....except that, if someone looks at your page, they can determine if you are poplular or not??????????

and THANK GOD this other disquieting feature was aborted: you could actually RANK people! Go on their profiles and rate from 1 to 5 stars. :huh: There was a big brouhaha about taht, and it was abolished........................

and yeah, what IS WITH Sarah and her full pm box???????????? Are all the hot guys writing to her???? I also am out of the loop on this! (well, I am a constant deleter, is this why?)

I saw the Friend's List as an attempt to 'MySpace it up' a little.

I have no friends. :( Can anyone recommend a San Jose (we say it "sannozay" btw) psychologist/psychiatrist for me?

And woohoo! Car getting tune-up now and I'm Hittin' the Road this afternoon!!! :D

(Ahh reminded of old Meat Puppets song which starts "We got road, we got time, so we're outta here") :)

1st stop Las Vegas to visit a cousin and spend the night. Then it'll be off to the beautiful metropolis of Fernley NV, via what MUST be one of the most boring roads in the West. <yawn>

A few days of fun w/ the 11 & 8yr olds there, before heading west again.

Aha! Another lyric! "Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand". Neil Young, Thrasher, ~2min before the line in my sig. :) :)

So here is my funny of the day

I walk down to the car at lunch with John. I have a bottle of coke. I sit down in the car to open it and it was like New Years Eve when some corks a new bottle of champagne. All the coke was everywhere. All over my khakis all over my pink shirt and all over and down my sleeve of my white lab coat. I used my tide bleach pen as best as I could. I am still dirty though.

      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.

      @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?
