:lol: :lol: We're actually going to have to get quite detailed in our discussions on sauce, cuz I"m not totally comprehending..... :blink:

Hehe I do find a blanket anti-sauce stance amusing but have discovered it doesn't have the comedic potential I'd anticipated.

It still feels like it should be funny! :wacko:

Tis NOT cig time!!!!!!!!!!! Just.......try.........and.........resist.......until 10. It's only half an hour away!!!!!!!!!

Yeahhhh I was probably also wrong about the 10 o'clock thing . .. . :D

Tho it DOES feel like I got over the 1st hump.

Today really only became THE day cuz I didn't want to go buy any.

*I'M* still surprised. :o

I can't control that part that cries out "Cigtime!", but I think I'll be able to keep disobeying it.

It'll stop crying out by Friday. :)

Hey, what about that heinous book that's supposed to cure EVERYone from smoking? what is that book? will look it up......I have heard celebrities discuss it, and how heinous it was, but effective.......

There's a BOOK????!!!!! :angry: :angry:

AHOY SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ahoy? :blink: )

I have neglected you but I'M BACK :D

Ok,......the article about A's trip to Orlando in my local paper is Open Original Shared Link (A is next to Mayor in Red hat & blue T-shirt) :D

T'was rather chilly in Orlando yesterday (yes! Mummy checks the temp everyday :ph34r: )...did he have his warm fleece on?? :unsure:

I find myself constantly counting back 5 hrs thinking 'what's he doing now?' :rolleyes:

NEEAAAARRRRRGGGGG !!!!!! :blink:

Driving myself insane :lol:

GADS..it's doing wonders for my diet - lost 4 pounds this week!! ...or is that loss of brain mass?? :lol:

I am very encouraged by Phathorgmn's & Sarah's efforts (Oh no!! a Sinus transplant needed??? )

Call the CS number on the bill and explain that you forgot since it was a new account and sweetly ask if they would waive the late fee this one time. It's worth a shot--many times they will if it's the first time ;)

<snort>

Patti is clearly the master ducker and diver of all creditors ;)

If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him.

GAHHH!!!!

I salute Uncle Ray!! :lol:

I'm so far just a smoker who isn't smoking.

Fa- tormh........I will always be this

One day at a time - a bit like AA......'Today' I will NOT smoke ;)

OK - the sauce debate.

I myself don't like 'wet' food much.....prefer crispy toppings to soggy sauces :blink: .....but not as fussy as Kissey :lol:

Good Morning, Sillies!

Well, yesterday afternoon my DD got her new retainer fitted...I can now barely understand what she's saying. This morning, I hear: "Gab yoo bib me a bripe do shloo?", and I stare at her, like this :huh: . Then she looks at me like this :angry: , and repeats it. I'm like this :wacko: . Finally, I decipher things ("Can you drive me to school?"), and look like this :rolleyes: .

OMG.....she's wearing this hardware 24/7 for how many months?!

You know there is a way to tell, right???? Have somebody ring your doorbell. If you start clucking like a chicken, then you were hypnotized!!!!

:lol::lol:

How did you end up faring through the night, Ptaumn? I would think that the first day (or two, or three) is the toughest....I believe there is a Dummies book for quitting, and many of them are known for good, solid advice. YOU CAN DO THIS, PTAOUMEAUS!! :):)

Ok,......the article about A's trip to Orlando in my local paper is Open Original Shared Link (A is next to Mayor in Red hat & blue T-shirt)

YAY!! Great piece in the paper, Nikki! Jeez, perhaps if I could send both of my kids off to some faraway place, I'd be good for eight pounds.... <_<

OK - the sauce debate.

Just got some exciting/nice/panicking news to share . . .

A while back, I started a topic on what a sweetheart our school nurse is. Well, last fall, the local paper did it's yearly "nominate the best nurse" campaign (any kind of nurse, not just school). There was a drive at our school to send in letters of nomination for our nurse. I have now been informed that our nurse won "something". She is one of six nurses invited to be honoUred at a banquet. She is allowed to invited 9 guests to fill her table of ten. Her husband, son, and daughter are going. The school district superintendant and the principal are going. And four moms who wrote the best (read "made the selection committee cry") nomination letters (there were about 65 sent in for our gal). So . . . I've been invited to go. I've also been informed that I might be asked to speak . . . :panicfacewhatcanyourhypnotherapistdoformetom?:

Gotta figger out what you're gonna say.

You could start off with something like, "Well, everybody, I want to tell you all how terrific Nurse _____ has been in our school experience, but first, let me ask you something about suction cups and metal cleats".....you know--just to warm them up a bit...... :rolleyes::lol:

:lol: Retainer induced speech impediment! It will get better. Somehow her tongue will just adjust and she'll be talking like normal in no time. Although she may find she needs to take it out for French class. I was still seeing a speech language pathologist for a mild stutter when I got my retainer and she told me I could read aloud to myself to quicken my tongue's adaption. Even without that I bet she'll be talking pretty much normal within a week.

Nikki --- very neat article about your son's big trip. Has he hit Magic Kingdom yet? I bet you can't wait to hear all about it right from him when he gets back!

Hmmm! I exPECT to feel like a non-smoker pretty soon.

Not today tho - still a smoker who just isn't smoking.

It still feels like "time to light up" every few minutes.

But that's more from the Habit side.

I'm surprised I'm not feeling cravings.

I've always heard 3 for the physical addiction to subside.

It's remarkaby easy so far.

Starting the all-out strict anti-candida diet was a LOT harder!!!!!

I'll tell ya what else is surprising - I expected to be a little grouchy about it. But it's all smiles'n'giggles 'round here. :lol:

I *do* still have that one part of the brain calling out "CIGTIME!" quite regularly, and some other part chiming in about the habitual ones - just took a lil walk & of course I used to ALWAYS light up once I hit the sidewalk. (I do love my triple-wide sidewalks :P )

It really hasn't been hard at all to resist .. . .now it seems 'resist' is too strong a word.

I don't see any serious obstacles from here on out. :) :) ;)

(Better not have just jinxed myself!!!)

YAY!! Great piece in the paper, Nikki! Jeez, perhaps if I could send both of my kids off to some faraway place, I'd be good for eight pounds.... <_<

I'd been pondering the suction cup vs. metal cleats shoe question and kept going back and forth. But earlier today, when I took Orwell for a walk, I accidentally stepped on his little paw. He let out the most heartbreaking little yelp -- I almost wanted to cry. So no metal cleats for me, for health and safety purposes. I'm not sure dog ownership is for me if every little yelp and whimper makes my heart hurt. And on that note, what about kids. How can you deal with seeing your kids hurt or sick? Doesn't it just make your heart hurt TOO MUCH??? Jack's big shoe question has got me thinking of some other big questions. :huh:

OMG - - I am quite sure that THIS is why God has not allowed me to marry and have kids, cause if I marry now, it'll be too late. mygawd.........even when I took Annie for her teeth cleaning I was a TOTAL mess. And after they've had surgery, with a deep, stitched gash or something - tumoUr removal, whatever - I practically need to be sedated. :huh: I don't know how parents can be parents and just function in the world.....send the kids off to school and stuff like that.........you jsut have to have massive trust and let it all go.

Watchign my Stinker go through her chemo treatments - - OMG. She was the most stoic and noble dog....sat in their completely silently, watching everything going on around her, her beautiful and solemn brown eyes taking it all in as she sat w/ an IV in her arm for up to half a day while other whiny baby dogs screeched and yelped. :( I wasn't really allowed back there....but we had to go every week for a while......it nearly did me in, FAR harder on the mommy than the dog.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh I miss my beautiful girl.........her quizzical smile, head tilt, bright, inordinately intelligent eyes and anticipatory, gentle (or spiral/helicopter) tail wag for just about anything......even in her most weakened state. *sniff* :( What a girl she was.

OMG - yes, IS Tom absinthed, with all his giggling? :lol: and NO massive desire to smoke!!!!!!! OMG! that is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and speaking of Absinthe - I finished off the last of our bottle last night. Never once saw the phaerie. :angry: Alas, spilled most of the last glass all over coffee table, which resulted in a frantic and mad cleaning and oiling the table last night. This all happened whilst Kissey was, er, indisposed (you'd think he's celiac w/ all his bathroom time) and, when he came out, it was all cleaned up, so I denied it. The huge waft of anise in the air, my amused shrieking and the piles of rags rather gave me away...... :lol:

SArah, YES! a hypnotherapist!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

mygawd, stomach is quite upset today and there's really stinky suspicious poop. Is it the big pot of chili? zoigs. I loved it. :(

      @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.

      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

      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, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. 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.
