Thanks for the condolences everyone.

At least all his kids are grown, I guess.

Have just watched a show on PBS about famous sandwiches in the US..........Philly cheesesteak, roast beef (French dip - I could DIE for one, thin-sliced beef on a soft roll, dipped in au jus :( ),

I think I've seen that one! French Dip segment is at the place that invented it? (Or so they say <_< )

In L.A., on a corner I think. Wasn't the place called Frenchy's er sumfin?

<I was disappointed to learn a French Dip had no real ties to France>

I'm halfway to the nearby Farmers' Market.

Figured doing something is better than not.

Ken's memorial is Monday, but I might just go stop by his house today. I'd gotten to know a couple of the kids pretty well & his wife somewhat.

Oh....your chow has a black tongue, doesn't she? I haven't had many conversations with Mr. Chow, but I'm fairly certain his tongue is pink. So we can differenciate that way....

:huh::lol:

:lol: Makes me want to call your neighboUr P.T. Chow ( Pink Tongue)

....and the guy turned around and he was not my friend......I felt 2 inches tall!

D'oh!! :lol:

Tom, new av for you (and anyone else quitting)

:)

Expected to at least get red bell peppers at the Farmers Mkt but there are NONE!!

No shortage of gluteny treats, breads, naan, knishes etc etc however.

:lol: I saw Mr. Chow about an hour ago, as I was out with the dogs. A meeting between the two of us on the street is quite rare...almost like it was meant to happen, because as we chatted I stared fixedly at his mouth, squinting and trying to peer in to see his tongue. Eventually I realized that he had stopped talking, and was staring back at me, his brow furrowed, his mouth a little open. I needed to explain, so I told him that I wanted to be sure that he had a pink tongue. Then I pulled the dogs and continued down the street. :lol::rolleyes:

So, it is indeed P.T. Chow!

There's no fear of confusing him with this guy:

Hey all!! Remember my backed up kitchen sink? Yeah.....much bigger problem than I thought. :o I tried to unclog it myself.....always been able to before. (Didn't want to have to tell hubby I put too much down the disposal....again :ph34r: ) In my defense, it's been awhile since the last time. So.. had to tell DH and he worked on it last night----had to use a balloon thingy on the end of the hose....ended up drenching the kitchen. :o He gave up and took off work today to fix it. He was asleep when I got home....pipes are back together...I think I'll let him sleep -_- Shhhhh.

Howdy Ho- Sillies!!!!!!!!! Sigh.....feeling poopy today.

Tom- I am SO sorry about your friend....he sounded like a wonderful person! You will be in my thoughts.

Bev, yes you must get your boob rash looked at immediately. I will say, I couldn't believe the number of ticks we ran across during our brief trip. I shall warn my friend K. to be sure and check her boobage area on a regular basis. Good Luck at the Doc's.

Boob successfully examined.....Unfortunately, this office can neither confirm or deny that this was indeed the bite of a pervert tick. However, we can disclose that according to our Defense Department , the antibiotic biological warfare will indeed cover any rogue bacteria!

(Why doesn't this make me feel any better?)

Tom, new av for you (and anyone else quitting)

I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!

OMGAWD- I want THAT one!!!!!! It's a cute little border collie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need a joke....got nuttin funny today...but someone else did:

LeeSa - yes, we change everybody's names.

The Tom/Ptauoghmn reminds me of my DD's name---Briana. Alot of people don't pronounce it right. Someone else gave their daughter the same name but solved the pronunciation problem by spelling it---B-R-E-A-U-G-H-N-N-A :blink:

One Question IQ Test

Here's a one-question IQ Test to help you decide how you should

spend the rest of your day......

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush.

By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,

how should he express himself?

answer to follow

Omg.....just got rid of the last of the guests..very fan-fu*@kin'-tastic dinner tonight - - a barbeque on our big back deck with my mom, dad, sister and brother-in-law. They all loved Elsie, and after we all solved the problem of glue sticking to the inside of the bottle and whether or not you can cry underwater, we all decided that, based on emminent behavior, Elsie was likely verbally and physically abused.

I know in her last home she was crated all night and through the day when no one was there (in other words, almost all the time), and she absolutely CRINGES at any raised voice....she will suddenly shake and look very frightened. I am SO sad when I see this, I cannot tell you. She has put on a bit of weight, but she was SO SKINNY. How can people do this...it turns my stomach. This is a work in progress - - my little sick girl, who we shall make better. :)

So.. had to tell DH and he worked on it last night----had to use a balloon thingy on the end of the hose....

Lisa!! That's a ballcock!!!! BALLCOCK SIGHTING!! BALLCOCK SIGHTING!! :o:lol:

Jess!! Pull out yer whip, put on the dominatrix outfit, and you can perhaps circumvent ANY sudden happenstance....

Um... methinks you can snake just about anything in that personna, yes? :lol::o

We got Zeus from an animal shelter. He cringes, cowers, shakes and pants whenever DH watches football ( can't handle the yelling) Doesn't matter how much DH loves on him during the game. He's petrified as soon as he hears the pre-game announcers. :(

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
