Well....now I have a backed up kitchen sink......does that count?

:lol: :lol: :lol: why, it most certainly does! See, we TOLD you!!!!!!!!! :P

Well, I did. It is a small lot, four spaces in all, perpendicular to the front wall. Five lines to paint using a roller on a long handle. The whole exercise, including watching it dry, took less than two hours.

:lol: watching it dry = phunny

It is a step in the right direction, and certainly less fuss than an overflowing toilet.

:lol: indeed.....

Emily - NO!!!! 'Tis NOT a good thing Susie has chips!!!!!!!!! :o it's totally heinous, and I'm gonna pay for it tomorrow, I'm pretty sure. Egregious craving took over and.........I am not pleased. :ph34r:

Well Lisa, let the cute-off begin!!!!!!!!!! My Lemon Squeezee is....is.....incomprehensibly adorable....that pose in my av? She does it nearly every morning, when she's just come in from going potty......plops down on the carpet in front of me, rolls onto her back, and does the wiggly self-spa treatment. :lol: The cuteness of it can stop one dead in one's tracks - positively no one is immune to is - and 'tis only so I"ll stop and scratch her belly. :P

Susie, at least you escaped the nuggets...

:blink: I know but..........are not chips even MORE egregious and injurious? :unsure:

OMG - I am trying to barbecue and don't know what in hell I'm doing. :lol: Do I leave the lid up, or down? which side does the meat go - fat up or down ('tis that most California cut known as tri-tip)....and - when do I flip it over? how long does it stay on? how do you know when it's done???????? :unsure::lol: :lol:

It's for the mens, really......I have no business doing this.

Also I have just cut the back of my own hair. :ph34r: Another thing I have no business doing. :lol:

I WANT NUGGETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you googled asapap [asap after posting]

How'd it turn out?

It's ALWAYS soooooooooooo good every time I've had it.

I remember being entirely flabbergasted at 1st tri-tip w/ the thought "how can I have not even HEARD of this????"

Also I have just cut the back of my own hair. :ph34r: Another thing I have no business doing. :lol:

:lol:

Let's see what else belongs on that list.

Non-1040A tax return preparation? (This can even involve spreadsheets)

Morning, Amanda et al!

Glorious morning, here...bright sun, dew sparkling on our lawn, the second round of tulips bursting forth....

And now TWO dogs staring at me to go walkies....

I am going for a run with them both today on the trails, so we'll see how things go. Elsie had one accident sometime last night - - peed right by Gus's bed (significant?), so I'll keep an eye on her. May have to monitor/ration her water somewhat at first.....

Well....now I have a backed up kitchen sink......does that count?

YYYYYYYEEESSSSSS!!

Lisa's in!

/||||||||\

Janet! That is an incredible font rendering....you may just well be a frustrated artist, and have missed your calling. Those are SO crooked banglike!!!! :D

Never heard of Tri-tip! Want some.....

How do you guys feel about Canadian (or peameal) Bacon? Mmmmmmmmmm...... :wub:

Morning Sillies!!! Beautimous day here today. I'm hoping to get some landscaping work done today . . . after a meeting and some errands.

Elsie had one accident sometime last night - - peed right by Gus's bed (significant?), so I'll keep an eye on her. May have to monitor/ration her water somewhat at first.....

Perhaps just rationing it close to bedtime . . .

Location does seem a little telling, eh?

Well Canadian Bacon sounds a LOT better than Peameal Bacon . . . we like it on pizza.

I like to chat about bizarre things. One time the doc told me all about how to clean a dog's anal glands (swear to god). That's the only part of the day I remember.

Maybe you could bring up the glue question.

Or ask about the roll of TLRs in inflammation.

One time (after I had assumed the position) my doc said "Now let your knees fall naturally apart". And my response was "On this day, they don't do that!!"

Finally the truth comes out:

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!

Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.

5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.

8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made:

1. No sale of bread to minors.

2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.

3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.

4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.

5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

What an interesting coincidence.

I had my yearly physical yesterday morning, and the doctor and I were discussing this as we prepared for the male-specific unpleasant event: digital rectal prostate examination.

She said that she thought it (the rectal probe) was not as bad as a pap smear. I think this is one of those great questions in life that will never be properly answered. I mean, it's not like we can find a panel of subjects who have had both experiences. :unsure:

Yes, you may want to monitor Elsie's water consumption in the evening. The location of the accident may or may not have any significance.

It is a beautiful sunny day here. :)

Amanda--Did they put him on antibiotics in the meantime? If they did, once they kick in, the pain should greatly diminish. Hope he feels better soon :)

OK . . . True Story . . . and I am in no way recommending this . . .

My cousin had an infected tooth that needed to be pulled. The dentist put him on an antibiotic and told him to come back in ?? weeks. He went back to work (he was working as a supervisor in a diesel engine (semi-trucks) garage) and took a pair of channel locks and pulled out his own tooth. With the tooth comes a handful of puss and blood. Two employees were watching. One passed out and the other threw up.

OK . . . He's the one that I heard the story from . . . I guess he could have made the whole thing up . . . but I tend to believe him . . . It's the kind of thing he would do.

      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,...

      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

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.
