Lemme know where it is - I'll join you and get my other old lady friends

I've been in a lot of retirement residences over the last few years, looking for an apartment for my DH's aunt and then for my parents, and it's really something. There is one old guy to about twenty women. My parents are in a complex with probably 200 people....9 of them are men. One big hen party...the old farts stay up in their apartments, the women are downstairs shuffleboarding, doing aerobics, playing bridge. Great for the single guys, I suppose.... :lol:

No we have to return unused study drugs in order to pick new ones up here :)

You could auction off the opened bottles..."Got migraines? This'll fix y'up...we'll start at twenty bucks. Blood pressure's making your veins crack? Here ya go, and it's three-quarters full--ten bucks"....

And speaking of music, today feels a LOT like a sax day!!!!! (Boehv?? That's an A, not an E! :lol: )

...What does a sax day feel like, Tom? I've had tuba days (heavy, amusing, expensive), and accordion days (just want it to be over)....

She says "I don't care how they talk in Pigland" :lol: I was rofl!!

Unnyfay!!!!! :lol::lol:

Obviously a hoverer with poor aim . . . or perhaps in mid-hover, the purse she was balancing on her head started to slide. In an effort to keep her purse from hitting the floor, she lost sight of her target . . . so to speak.

Gad......rank amateur.......

So, today's flurry of excitement over reports of Sarah being pregnant leaves me feeling compelled to share this little story.

As you know, Jacquie and I run a retail store. One of our employees is named Sarah.

In mid-December, Sarah mentions to us that she had been feeling kind of yucky, lack of appetite and nausea in the morning. Jacquie jokingly asked, "You're not pregnant, are you?" She says, "no way."

Well, she went to the doctor, and, you guessed it, she and her husband are expecting their first.

Hmmmm.

Egads- first, sarah's pregnant then she's not and then Amanda's pregnant and then she's not but then reveals she's "trying" which would explain why she's so perky every morning!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

My cat slept on my pillow between my head and the headboard all night last night....literally from 1-5:30 am, he never does that. I actually put my hand on him to make sure he was alive (he never stays still that long, he is only 2 and is still very active and playful)

I was telling my coworker about him sleeping and she said her cat slept with her all night too which is also rare, turns out it was a full moon last night...weird huh?

Dem meow meows is SMART. I think our female is a serial killer plotting to kill us all. Actually she's leaning over my shoulder as I type this and I KNOW she can read. :ph34r:

I really do (or did :( ) love Beaver Tails so I hope that makes up for my hate of Poutine and allows me to maintain my citizenship!

This actually scared me...I thought BEAVER TAILS? Must be one of the Canadian delicacies, eh? Phew!!!!!

[

:o BEV! Well I don't know about YOU, but *I* am NOT obsessed w/ dog nuts.....I mean, Annie doesn't even have any for Peter's sake.........

:lol: :lol: Angus doesn't either!

must say, NEVER In my life have I seen fries w/ gravy - - we eat them only w/ ketchup here - - and I must say, I was partaking in a GIANT basket of fries from DEDICATED fryer at Nepenthe last Sunday :):rolleyes:

OMG- is there ANYTHING that Nepenthe is not good for???????? BIG SIGH.

Susie, seeing how women, in general, outlive their husbands, we're all pretty much dying alone . . . that's why I have made arrangements to be committed to live in the same mental old age facility as my best friend. That way we can keep each other company and complain to each other about how our children never call and that the food taste like crap.

I'm coming too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I must clog my arteries it MUST be with double CREAM in some sort of cake!!!!!!!! :P

Agreed! But I must say my 2nd choice would be FRIED CLAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They do that there?? Can I bring in whatever I want and exchange it for something better?? I'm sure I've got some leftover stuff in the drawer and I can thing of much better drugs to have lying around than old antibiotics.

OMG...me too! I know EXACTLY what I want, won't take but a minute to exchange!!!!!!!

Sadly, no.

Well, maybe for fireworks.

I have a couple neighbor boys who are 20, 21. I don't know how many times I am awakened by them doing something terribly loud in the middle of the night.

I so want to open the window and scream "shut up" or anonymously call the police, but I'm scared it will get traced back to me :lol::lol:

Morning Sillies

So remember how I was talking about the ghetto kids. I am leaving early today so John and I drove seperate cars to work. When he walked out to his car the gas tank was open. He said the car drove very funny too. There are fireworks all over the parking lot. We pay outrageous amounts of rent...I can pay half that and go down to the city and live in the same conditions...nuts! Our rental place never does anything about it. We were told they were moving out but it has been 3 months now and they are still there....I am scared to really stay there anymore. These people freak me out.

      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?
