Ah! Tom, you are a King most Fowl.... :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I had to come back from my sabbatical (been feeling like a rat's arse) to see if we had a new new snow Queen and I find we have a King Most Fowl :ph34r:

Oh King Tom, do not forget the royal legacies of HRH Mtndog and HRH Blueyedmanda (otherwise known as the Queens who will make you mush poodles if you are not the strong and swarth leader this thread needs! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: )

Congrats King Tom! The thing I love about this thread is that IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER if you go back or not .

so has anyone seen Richard lately?

CarlaB Enthusiast
And yet I'm the only one to have answered? Still?

yeah, no kidding .... but I've basically gone my whole life being ignored, so I'm used to it. I also have a teenage boy, so I get some practice being ignored there, too.

Morning sillies,

Well, I have an interesting situation here...they are switching our house from septic to sewer today. I woke up with an iffy stomach--right on schedule because it always acts up when there's something going on or I have to be somewhere <_<

So, I took some pre-emptive Immodium and am hoping it's just the anxiety :P

Only you guys would understand what it means to have no working bathrooms at all!!!!!!! :o

LOL :lol:

You can always hang out at Starbucks. :) And, you can come over here, there's plenty of laundry ... we know you're just using the toilet as an excuse with us .... you're really worried about not being able to do laundry today. ;)

I can't take that song seriously after watching the movie Love Actually with Billy Mac singing Open Original Shared Link instead of love is all around!

OMG- I love thatt movie SOOOO much.....cry everytime I see it!

You must hate cats .... we lived out in the country and the coyotes ate all our cats .... it was difficult keeping cats to keep down the rodent population ... but it was always open season on coyotes. :) There was a pack that lived near our house .... we had all 19 acres fenced in to protect the kids from them.

So I am watching the snow fall....stuck at work though, but it does look pretty :)

jerseyangel Proficient

Yep--I love coyotes--and my kitty, too! :)

Since my cat is an indoor kitty, I don't worry about things like that ;)

Susie!!!!!!You're back, too :D How are you doing?

tom Contributor
Tom - is this really you??

Open Original Shared Link

Hard to say. I'm guessing the site is Flash. I get nothin' on the sidekick.

Whatever it is, it sure put a halt to yesterday's posting!!

Tom I love the avatar :) It's great :)

Why thank you HRH2.

Only you guys would understand what it means to have no working bathrooms at all!!!!!!! :o

ACK!! 1st thing in the morning I'm reading A Horror Story!!?? :ph34r:

The sentence "no working bathrooms at all" is akin to when, among an ever-shrinking group of teens in a house, another is told, "go see what happened to the 1st three who went to check out the basement". :ph34r:

tom Contributor
. .. make you mush poodles . .

:lol:

Susie, hope the services were . ... .hmmm .. .. . bearable(?) and that Jenn's handling it ok. :(

Sheesh I feel so bad for her and I don't even know her.

:D I just love talking to people who really understand :D

CarlaB Enthusiast

Well, I guess I thought they were intriguing until I lived in the country and they were such a problem. :) Bev's picture is cute .... but I can't say I love them! ;)

The first coyote I saw was walking down the street in Monrovia, CA!!! That's LA!

Who would understand potty worries better than your fellow sillies? We worry about that place and yet find humor in it to relax us.

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Susie!!!!!!You're back, too :D How are you doing?

Patti - I am horrified for your bathroom situation this morning........ :o Hopefully ending soon.....

I'm not really back, just a poop-in.

Have lost EVERY shred of mojo I ever had. This time, it's pretty serious. Back on antidepressants, full dosage......not the low maintenance dose I take - which is every three days or so.

Am I STILL bipolar? :( Sorry - - tale for another thread.

Susie, hope the services were . ... .hmmm .. .. . bearable(?) and that Jenn's handling it ok. :(

Sheesh I feel so bad for her and I don't even know her.

Service was lovely and full of bittersweet joy, actually. Jenn is okay......doing really well. Her dad - not so much. It will hit Jenn later.

OMG - there is almost nothing better than the sound of coyotes in teh distance.........

and look what I found!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Susie---Hugs!!!!

I have you in my thoughts :)

elye Community Regular

We have coyotes out in the prairie provinces, but not around here. We've got little red foxes, and those I love. Our cats have likely tangled with a few of them. And Gus, well....he ain't no ponydoodle! :lol::lol::lol:

So glad you're back on here, Susie. It can be tough to get out of bed, let alone get online....BIG {{{HUGS}}} HERE!

That's about the extent of my coyote-related opinions. Key word, distance.

And another {{{{{HUG}}}}} for Susie.

May tomorrow be a better day.

Oh gosh- no! Not cat and kid eating coyotes! I like them at a distance too! Although I met a pack in Death Valley that I really liked. was walking out of the campground store and almost had to share my ice cream with one :o

But I like the sound of them in the distant woods....fisher cats and mountain lions at a MUCH further distance.

Yes, their plaintive howling is very poignant...

I wonder if our yeti howls? I've never heard him make any sound. The odd little growl when I had the tape measure near parts he wanted protected, but nothing else...

:rolleyes::lol:

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms

      Cristiana makes a good point and it's something I've pointed out at different times on the forum. Not all of our ailments as those with celiac disease are necessarily tied to it. Sometimes we need to look outside the celiac box and remember we are mortal humans just like those without celiac disease.

      Also suffer badly with gluten and TMJD, cutting out gluten has been a game changer, seems to be micro amounts, much less than 20ppm.  Anyone else have issues with other food stuffs? Soy (tofu) and/or milk maybe causing TMJD flare-ups, any suggestions or ideas? --- I'm beginning to think it maybe crops that are grown or cured with glyphosphate. Oats, wheat, barley, soy, lentils, peas, chickpeas, rice, and buckwheat, almonds, apples, cherries, apricots, grapes, avocados, spinach, and pistachios.

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply.   Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct.   Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two, following my diagnosis - I pinned everything on coeliac disease, but it turns out I wasn't always right!  Dizziness, lightheaded - I was eventually diagnosed with cervical dizziness (worth googling, could be your issue too, also if you have neck pain?)  A few months after diagnosis I put my neck out slightly carrying my seven-year-old above my head, and never assigned any relevance to it as the pain at the time was severe but so short-lived that I'd forgotten the connection. Jaw pain - stress. Tinnitus - I think stress, but perhaps exacerbated by iron/vitamin deficiencies. Painful ribs and sacroiliac joints - no idea, bloating made the pain worse. It got really bad but then got better. Irregular heart rate - could be a coincidence but my sister (not a coeliac) and I both developed this temporarily after our second Astra Zeneca covid jabs.   Subsequent Pfizer jabs didn't affect us. Brain fog - a big thing for people with certain autoimmune issues but in my case I think possibly worse when my iron or B12 are low, but I have no proof of this. Insomnia - stress, menopause. So basically, it isn't always gluten.  It might be worth having your vitamins and mineral levels checked, and if you have deficiencies speak to your Dr about how better to address them?

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.
