Hubby reckons I keep bricks in mine

Well, you have to keep a little bit of everything in there 'cause you don't know when you might need it . . . and sometimes you might need a brick!!

Well, I was hopin' it would go by unnoticed . . . but now that you've drawn everybody's attention to it . . . I'm doomed! :o:ph34r:

Insurance is paid up, we do have flood coverage, sump pump is working with battery back-up in place, I won't do any laundry or dishes until I get over 1100 posts, children will not be allowed to come into contact with other children or sharp objects (in fact, I think I'll just wrap them in bubble wrap), WTH am I going to do about the toilets??!!!??? Help Me!!!!

Weight of purses-- precisely! I simply do not understand women who carry itty bitty purses. Actually, one of my friends carries an itty bitty purse, and guess what? Every time we go out, she realizes she doesn't have something in there that she needs. I have it all. ;)

There for awhile, both my boys were in diapers at the same time. I didn't carry a purse or a diaper bag. I carried a huge backpack.

Oh and I also noticed what's coming up for Janet..... :ph34r:

Are you kidding???? Now that she can finally read she's curled up with a squirrel martini (following Peter's lead) going through all 500-some-odd pages. Surely, if you listen, you can hear her yelling "MOM!!!!" Whenever you've said something embarrassing about her.

a squirrel martini!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Well.....have to correct you girls......Lauren and I actually discovered what Tika was saying to me, in those moments of intensive, willing-you-to-do-something stares........it was :

mommy-mommy-mommy-MOMMY-mommy-mommy-mommy-mommy-mommy-MOMMY-MOMMY-

MOMMY-MOMMY-mommy-MOMMY-MOMMY-MOMMY-MOMMY-MOMMY-mommy-mommy-mommy

mommy-mommy-mommy-MOMMY-MOMMY!!!!!!!-MOMMY!!!!!!!-mommy-mommy....(ad nauseum)

:huh: <------ with a face like that, only more intense....and hot breath coming out onto your leg whilst you read the newspaper, her nose only one or two inches behind the paper.... :lol:

Gus does this...however, after a few moments of his face being two inches from said newspaper, and me stubbornly ignoring him, he'll put a massive paw into the paper, sometimes ripping it and scaring the s**t out of me. I will then see his pathetic, pleading, staring face, like this: :mellow:

*snort* :lol: Stinker was so effective w/ her super-powered dingo brain that, I'm not kidding, pawing and vocalizing were never necessary.

:( Annie has lost.....her North Star........it is heartbreaking.......she is SO sad....I don't know how long she will grieve, or what to do. Thinking about going to the cabin this weekend....but she's never been ANYWHERE without her Stinker.....she finds moderate joy in running through the orchard, but, it's not the same. I know she'd enjoy the beach adn all the dogs.....and our friends will meet us there.....

Thanks be to GOD that I am not a gluten-brain, or you'd be scraping me off the FLOOR from heartache!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :huh:

An elderly neighbor in my old neighborhood was having a boot yard sale. Her daughters brought over all of their baby stuff to sell . . . high chair, pack-n-play, etc. I said "You know the best way to get pregnant is to sell all your baby stuff". They had the nerve to laugh at me and asked me if my mother never taught me the facts of life . . . About 6 months later, one of them was pregnant. Who's laughin' now, missy???!!!!

Emily, love the new Gus av!

hhhmmmm, that's not what I learned......

does that mean if I never have baby stuff to sell I'll never get pregnant?

should we all send baby stuff to Amanda so she can sell it and improve her chances?

No, no, no . . . it is not considered reliable birth control!!!

When I was becoming sexually active, my mom gave me the birth control talk which consisted of "If the rhythm method worked, there would only have been 2 or 3 of you kids"

There are 7 of us.

Now, of course, I realize that the efficacy of her method was compromised by the selling of baby stuff in between births.

My sister is 5 years older than I am. I mentioned it in a previous post that she got "started" a little early. She had her first daughter when she was 17. So my grandmother took it upon herself to have a sex talk with me . . . perhaps she thought if she had talked to my sister, she wouldn't have found herself in the "family way". So there I sat (age 14) , MORTIFIED, just screaming in my head over and over "This is ALL Linda's fault!!" And just so you know, the talk can be summerized as "Nice girls don't do it." Not like that whole scene scarred me for life or anything . . . I can laugh about it now . . . ha . . . haha. . .

my mom gave me "the talk" in fourth grade. I"ll never forget it - there I was, MINDIN' MY OWN BIDNESS, watching TV.......she comes up behind me and in this crazily stiff voice says she wants to talk to me. Not kidding, 'twas like an alien had overtaken her body. :blink: She takes me back to their bedroom and talks to me whilst showing me pictures of the reproductive organs in a book. She was acting all crazy-like and....... :lol: well, I don't really know what to say about it except that what I remember most was how kooky she was acting....I think I knew most the other stuff, anyway, from those wicked teenaged boys who hung out with my brothers. :lol:

anywho, after I was armed with my new knowledge and the SOLID facts, I told everyone all about it. :lol: :lol:

oh yeah...selling the baby stuff - SURE way to get pregnant. :lol: Everyone knows that.

My mother never really told me anything.....she would have my aunt (her sister) who I was very close to do it. :huh: The rest I learned from the older kids in the neighborhood--on the streets, as it were. :P

I remember "the movie" :o in 6th grade. Our parents had to sign a permission slip in order for us to see it.

One for the girls and another for the boys--shown separately, of course. ;) Ours was followed by a talk by the school nurse.....

The whole thing was a major production. <_<

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @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...

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      @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/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      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!
