Well, Ottawa's on fire!

...Uh...not literally.....

The Ottawa Senators are playin' hard, throwing their weight around...time for my first phaerie visit, methinks....

Jack has to keep leaving the room, he gets so nervous. I've told him to think up another hypothetical life question for us all to ponder. Stay tuned...... :rolleyes::lol:

halloooooooooooooo my sillies!!!!!!!!!

Kissey took today off, we knocked out a few chores and tasks at both his house and mine.

But, I am WIPED OUT....... :blink: is it the heat? Feel like I jsut want to lie down and sleeeeeeeeeeeep. Just......so......very.................tired and groggy. Tom is right - yesterday, it was in the 90's - 93, maybe? :angry: HEINOUS........today - - comfortably in the 70's and dropping.....VERY windy.....Susie is pleased.

Forgot EVERYthing I wanted to say except about the Ethiopian restaurant - they DO use wheat in their injera bread, but, I called ahead and they made the teff gluten-free for me (and it was DELISH!). The woman who owns this restaurant is a doctor, just the loveliest person, and - SHOCK - knew all about Celiac (how sad that that is shocking and NOT the norm) so......she was quite accommodating w/ my gluten-free bread. Can't believe I haven't been back there.

Dan in Real Life is a very cute movie and I am endorsing it. Kissey, it turns out, had seen it before and not realized it until it started but was more than happy to watch it again.

I MUST go and have a short rest........feel as though there's cotton in my head today....

-_- <-----------------

see you later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry 'bout the game, Emily :(

Hi Susie :) 96--truly heinous B)

We had gorgeous 70's until yesterday....only 56 today but it's supposed to warm up by the end of the week.

I have an announcement.....I'm having my hair cut! I decided to go a bit shorter, and wear it curly again.

Oh, thank you, Jacko!

Okay, he's come up with a new Life Question to posit to us all...I'm chortling and snorting as I type this...

Right, then... :lol: ......

If you had to choose between these two situations (and we're talking lifelong), which would you choose?

From now on, would you rather have to:

Walk everywhere wearing shoes with little suction cups

OR

with metal cleats on the bottom?

:lol::lol:

That's a tough one.........

Think I may have to go to bed and sleep on that one.

Saw this headline in the news part of my MyYahoo page

"Adult woman in sect back at Texas ranch"

And I just caNNOT help but read it as "Adult Woman Insect . .. " :lol: :lol:

...And I LOVE the Sens....but they're done, I am certain. :( Although rumour has it that Alfie may be heading back out onto the ice tonight. YAY!!

Will need some absinthe again this evening, to sit through another 60 minutes of their playoff run.

Michael Caine can skate?

The Phaerie shoots! .. . .and SCORES!!!!!!

I wish I could share with you all what I got emailed to me today. It's a copy of Michelle's journal that the kept during the entire Quest. . ...

.. . . INCREDIBLE. I'll find out if it is in blog form online, and get the link.

Email it to me!!!!!!! :D :D

The Make Beliefs? :lol:

:lol:

I'll take up the rant from here...

. . .. . .

. ... Okay....someone else wanna take over?

I would if I could, but I DO know I've always thought there was something wrong w/ a sport that not only ALLOWS fighting, but even seems to enCOURage it.

<more than seems to, eh?>

:blackeyedmissingteeth&BIGsmileface:

Oh, Gawd......my game hath begun.......

I cannot stand it, I can't....... :unsure::unsure:

:lol: such a true fan!!

Tom is right - yesterday, it was in the 90's - 93, maybe? :angry: HEINOUS........

Then I was wrong!! .. .I said UPPER 90s

[correction - was ninety-SIX degrees yesterday - - HARRUMPH!!!!!!!!! :angry: ]

Ooooooooooooooooo dats too hot for mid-April

Forgot EVERYthing I wanted to say except about the Ethiopian restaurant - they DO use wheat in their injera bread, but, I called ahead and they made the teff gluten-free for me (and it was DELISH!).

Ohhhhhhh how accommodating! :yummyface:

<tom files away the injeran call-ahead>

Allthemore (if I were King, I'd make that one word - like nevertheless) refreshing it'll be to go to the cabins!!

Does this require forsaking sports like hockey & bball??

And do the little suctions make EVERY #%$* step a complete struggle?

And, to clarify, I could decide to go barefoot, right?

(Just how unwelcome would one be in a house w/ the fanciest of hardwood floors if wearing metal cleats!!?)

Yep, Jack needs to answer these questions so that we can make an informed decision!!!!

What do the shoes look like on top?? Do they look like cleats or tennis shoes? Or do they come in a more stylish pump? . . . just being difficult, I don't wear heels. They wouldn't go with my chapstick . . . but some other silly might like a more stylish shoe . . . loafer? . . . sandal? . . . flipflop? . . .

I'm going w/ the idea that any manner of footwear can be retrofitted w/ suction cups or cleats - regardless of how impractical cleating may be for certain styles.

Morning, Sillies!

Ugh.

Senators lost. Down 3-0 in the series. Get the big hook......

Michael Caine can skate?

:lol::lol:

Now THIS is a terrifically phunny picture--one Michael Caine flying around the ice, padded up and throwing his weight around...

:huh: Actually....perhaps this is a formidable idea for the Senators. They should have called Mr. Caine before the series began. Anybody with the ability to hold a stick could have likely helped that show.

Email it to me!!!!!!!

Will do! It is a wonderful read. If anyone else would like to read Michelle's journal that she wrote during the gruelling Quest, let me know and I can email it out as an attachment...

Okay, I have presented these queries to Jack this morning, and he has ruled that, first of all, in a real, official "you-must-choose-one-situation-or-die" set-up, you would only get the two choices--no clarifications or further explanation, making the choice even tougher. You'd have to assume some things, and take some chances.

Now, this time, Jack will give you more detail:

As can be garnered from what's been given, the bottoms of your footwear that you choose are to be on your feet ALL THE TIME, every time you put on footwear. Boots, sandals, runners. The suction cups or metal cleats are there (we must give him a bit of engineering latitude, here) ALWAYS. And yes, you can be in bare feet whenever you wish...but when you're sporting footwear, the adorned bottoms MUST be there. Or you die, apparently. :lol:

Oh . . . and Tom's av has prompted me . . . ask him if we can have shoe phones . . . in which case, I would definitely go with the suction cups . . . less likely to produce head trama.

Yes, when considering a shoe phone, I would lean towards the suction cups. You could stick it to the side of your face, and have both hands free. VERY convenient.....

:lol::lol: OMG....I asked Jack if we would have the wall-climbing option with the suction cups, and he looked at me like this <_< and said, "Uh, no. Come on....you guys are just being silly...."

I think I'm leaning towards the cleats. Suction cups would make a noise that would drive me nuts after a while (although metal cleats would be right noisy, as well...)...and I'd have to tell the whole story apologetically to anyone who has beautiful hardwood floors. Actually, I would never be able to visit them...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Morning Sillies!!!!

Boy do I have great news. I went to bed on my own last night! No sleeping pills!!!! And I slept the entire night through, to do this on a work night is a big step for me!!!

I have my "appointment" today that we talked about a few days ago, the IT appointment....anyway I am torn, I am not sure I would like doing it and it is not really a increase in pay of anything....I am thinking about passing. Any ideas or suggestions.

If you don't have a good gut feeling, I'd pass. If you suspect that it's a job you would not enjoy, I do think I'd turn it down. I guess it all depands on how well you are assessing your like/dislike of said position. During the interview you can find out exactly what the job will involve, and who you'll be with. Then you can go away and figure out how much you would wanna spend eight hours a day, five days a week, in this scenario. :)

You MUST find out how much time you can devote to us Sillies, and if it's considerably shortened, well, you have your answer.... <_<:rolleyes:

Yep, I'm sure you can, that's true. Just anywhere you need to be in shoes/boots, ya gotta have yer suction cups/metal cleats in place. Or death. :lol::lol:

I"ll speak to her....she's........not really that great a helper, as photo may indicate...... does a lot of sitting, staring, and then rolls onto her back quite a bit so I"ll think she's adorable and scratch her belly, actually hindering productivity. But she's awful darned cute...... :wub:

SILLIES!!!!!! 'tis freezing today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink: Susie is pleased. freezing and sunny. :)

OMG - by the way. I made those Brazilian dog biscuits cheese rolls the other day. absolutely horrendous. :angry: Flat, hard, air-less, tasteless bricks. However, I DID leave the batter in fridge overnight..... :ph34r: Kissey wondered if this was the problem, I"m sure it was.......right? Baking soda fell flat? I was in my sleeping coma and too tired to make them.

Will try again. Annie is enjoying her new treats. :blink:

Thats the thing, I am suspecting not much time for you guys at all. I would be risking alot if I kept jumping on here when I am working in IT where they will be monitoring the net usage.

To tell you the truth things here might get rocky but we are all going through it. Sometimes I take things too personally and thats why sometimes I have bad days at work. Other than that things are nutsy here with us having a new boss. I have a lot of flexability here so if I ever need to leave early or take days off it is not a problem.

Anyway, I sent an email and let them know I would not be coming to the interview, I dont believe I would be the right fit for the job. I have not heard back but the status of my message was opened and read....

Yeah, probably. Now ya got me thinkin'......

The suction cups would offer some resistance and therefore a good workout when walking or running somewhere. But do I want this?

The cleats would be a very efficient tool of defense if I were attacked. Do I really need this?

The sound of cleats would be better, for sure--in fact, If worn on a hard surface they likely could work as tap shoes. Might be inspired to do some Debbie Reynolds while out on errands....

It's quite amazing that I am treating this as a pressing decision to be made in my life.

With cleats, you can aerate your lawn every time you walk through.

With suction cups, better traction when there's a spill on aisle nine.

Yes!! Better traction, likely, on ice, as well. But perhaps not.....cleats may do better there. GAWD.....such unknowns......

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

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.

      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.

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
