It's Ptaoughmghmn's unofficial job, methinks. To notice, and then draw our attention to, these things.... :lol:

Why yes, it IS Phataughm who has his finger on the pulse of the goings on here in Sillyville! :lol:

Em--good luck at the vet...thinking about you and little Elsie :)

I KNEW it!!!!! I knew there HAD to be a big number coming up.....this explains the basement flood :o

I dunno - I'd need more mathematical substantiation to support trans-continental postal phlipover phluid-ephekt transference. <_<

Particularly for a phenomenon w/out precedence.

Maybe the distance 'tween Patti & Jess equals sillythread post # (14397) minus Patti's personal # ? (11770). That's 2,627miles. Sounds too far. Hmmmmm

Maybe if we find a way to convert your birthdays to angles and multiply the miles by (1 - the difference in cosines)?

Any ideas on what else we can do?

Yes, Susie! How's our Menstruating Missy, today? :lol::blink::lol:

I DO hope you're on the upswing.....

I am presently feeling terrific, as Elsie's legs are, at least skeletally, poifect. :)

Muscularly, they are nonexistent. She has very little muscle mass anywhere. This is okay - - we can work on this. She has gone from NO activity to a great deal of activity. It has been an overload situation...we've been expecting too much from her, too soon. Poor wittle fing. So we need to proceed with caution and much less fervour. A long walk every day is enough for now, and work up to short distance running. YAYYYYY!!! She's okay....

He also said that she's quite underweight. I replied, "Oh, gawd. She's put on a fair amount in a week. You should have seen her ten days ago!" He just shook his head. Sooooo glad we have her....and so, he assured me, is our vet.

I need more data!!!!!!!!!!!

In Chinese Year of the Tiger fashion, what animal year are the two of you?

But then how to relate animals to interstate phluid-effect transfer?

Could the multiple of your post counts = the sum of the # of seconds for the animals to traverse the transfer endpoints?

I must be barquing up the wrong Willow .. . ..Jess not only hasn't yet hit 2000, she's got NEW CATS COMING <probably> & Patti's basement flood was a couple days ago. The synchronicity discrepancy is disturbing.

Patti? I don't suppose #2 all-time has passed you to become #1 while your laptop is doing the road-warrior thing. Unlikely but THAT would be enough to explain it.

Ohhhh, poor baby! It's like she's been in a coma or something! Emily, I am SO SO SO glad you have her now!!!

My best friend and I have agreed that when our husbands die, we're moving in together into a big old farmhouse, and rescue as many cats as we can. We'll be crazy cat ladies together. :lol:

I spent ALL MORNING, literally, doing bills and figuring out a two week grocery list, including gluten-free, low cholesterol, low carb, low sodium dinners for four, breakfasts, lunches, non-food items, and I needed to keep it under $250. At one point I found myself actually pulling on my hair... but it's done. Whew. This new twist is gonna take some getting used to. Well, usually I have a bigger budget, but ya know, trying to catch stuff up.

I wish I could come to the Silly Summit!!! Sigh. Must do it again next year. Susie! Tom! Start saving now! And I will too.

Did the flood coincide w/ the day Sillyville hit exactly 1000 pages behind Rachelville?

As a major participant in both -villes, it stands to reason you'd take the brunt of the phluidation.

In fact, I can't deduce ANY cross-thread ranking calculation where Patti doesn't leave everyone in the dust. :blink:

Hmmmm...I think we need to have both Patti and Jess complete a 72-hour phart chart, with numerical specifics that can be observed along with changes in the interval and/or scale, perhaps altering the visual perception of data. This alteration may in itself explain the phluid phluctuation, as per Hermlicht's Theorum.

:lol:

Elsie sure is lucky to have you, Em! :)

OMG.....I am SO lucky to have found her!! ..And Augustus is one lucky boy. What a girlfriend! :lol::wub:

      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?
