Hey Susie:

I am with you, just haven't found that special someone again, or yet, or whatever it's supposed to be. Now the kids are grown and gone, but hey I just got a puppy and she makes me heart sing! She is a cross between a toy poodle and s$#&zu, in other words a little mutt! :lol:

Anyway, I have a job outside of the house, of course with my job I don't actually meet men I would want to take home that don't bore me or gross me out.

Oh, I went on a date with a man from the State but after a few minutes I got the feeling that he was married, just a hunch, asked me back to his hotel, told him he took the wrong girl to the party for that <_<

Well the secret to our martial bliss so far has been he has been ill, so you can't really get upset with a sick man LOL!

Actually, for as different as we are we have a few similarities that keep us in check.

Um, I'm just wondering if I"ll ever meet anyone AGAIN that doesn't............bore me, suck the life out of me, or......gross me out....... :blink: Might require me getting a job out of the house? Gads..........................

Susie...Can't believe you're saying this, because I absolutely have the man for you, and I often think how unfortunate it is that there's no way to get you guys together. He is, I'm not kidding, the best catch I know of. Okay, he's my brother, but I can objectively say these things. I chatted with him last night, and honestly thought, "Yep. He and Susie..." Alas! :(

Oh Em ... ..did you give a good hard look at the [bACK] button? Isn't there something along the right edge?

Both IE & Firefox have the triangle.

I don't see it as paranormal, but if that helps I'll play along!! :rolleyes:

(Is it possible you use a version so old it predates backbutton2.0?)

Yeah, I have that triangle. I was waxing surreal there, and wishing for a big one that I could press when, for example, I walk into a large cocktail party with said dress tucked into my underwear....just wanna go back a couple of pages, quickly, now and then!

Now that word's out about my status as 'very starving artist', I must relay my funniest of art student tales.

As a second-year fine art student, I stood one day in our life drawing class, looking over our model whom we needed to depict in a thirty-minute composition. He was about thirty, nice looking, and of course, naked.

Off I went, sketching out a gesture drawing, then beginning to fill in detail. I remember concentrating on his shoulder area. I suddenly glanced down, and an area that I had sketched in had suddenly...changed. The lines and shape were quite...different....So, without looking him in the eye, I erased this area and continued.

A moment later, I glanced back. Changed again! Back to what I had originally depicted. So I erased the...area...and drew again. Became quite enthralled with his chest, as he had defined pecs. Spent time there, then back...Changed again! Began erasing furiously.

So, my final drawing had nothing but a huge smudge mark from constant erasing in this area (paper almost torn). Long story longer, my prof later claimed it was one of the most powerful visual statements he had yet seen on human sexuality, and how clever I was to take the opportunity to make it with this drawing. "It's all only a smudge mark, isn't it, Ms. Lye?" Gahhhhhhh.....

I'll put him up in my av...gotta find a shot of him. You can tell me what you think. Unfortunately, Brett is very far from California...Toronto to L.A. is just over 3500 km (2100 miles), and I forget where you are in CA. But cyber-flirting is always a great thing... ;):)

Ahhh, puke . . . that is gross. I used to watch Unsolved Mysteries and there was an episode where something similar happened and it freaked me out! Nightmares for weeks. My mom didn't let me watch that show anymore after that . . . but I secretly did anyway!!

I had the interview from hell today with Mr. Fathead Jerk and I sure would have liked to have given him a little spritz of hydrochloric acid. :P Not really of course!

Fortunately Mr. Fathead was only in my life for today. I graduated last year and promptly got sick with Celiac and then diabetes so I am just starting to look for employment now. Mr. Fathead found it preposterous that I had waited over a year to look for employment and didn't think that kind of "lack of initiative" was something he would want in an employee! He wasn't getting the whole I've been quite ill explanation and I didn't like getting into the specifics of being tied to the bathroom, etc. etc.

So he earned the name Mr. Fathead Jerk from me although I was using some other choice expletives when explaining him to my fiance. I think I should count myself lucky that I will not be working for him.

MMMMMmmmmmm, Amaretto . . . it's been a day from hell . . . I'm gonna go get me some of dat!

Alex - definitely better off without Mr Jerk. It's as much an interview to determine if you would want to work there as it is for them deciding if they would want to hire you. Apparently, they failed miserably at their interview!!

Just noticed - there's no post button . . . I'm gonna hit this rectangle where it sorta usta be and see if that works.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @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...

      Insomnia help

      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. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @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.

      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.
