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 need a rewind button, or a back arrow, or a magic little triangle to take me back in time. Often, I could use this...(rubbing chin)..

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.

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.

      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?
