Speaking for Laura...she's from the DC area and gets to go to all those fun things downtown.

The only problem is that this is during the week...........and hypothetically, I am supposed to show up at work on those days! :(

Yes, this is another conundrum.....even if I could manage transportation, if I don't get a summer job, I'll be even more broke than I am now :( ...if I DO get a job, I'll probably have to work :angry:

I won't promise anything at this point....too many variables.

Good Morning, Sillies!!

Bah...just looked outside and saw Gus and Elsie playing in the grass. Elsie had a microchip put in yesterday, and the vet said, "NO activity for 24 hours - - the chip can slide down the side of her body, or even pop out." Well, you should see these dogs...tearing around, jumping on each other, Gus's huge paw landing right on the chip area and pulling....

Guess I may be making a trip back to the vet's to ensure it's still in there.

Too bad I cannot multitask, and have the vet do the long proceedure on my dad that I am taking him to the hospital for this afternoon. I don't even know what's involved, but they have all the same testing equipment at the vet's. .. same heart monitors, ultrasounds, stress equipment, scanners. .. Just dunno if there's a big enough holding crate for him. :lol:<_<

I am going to take that day off, I have lots of time stored in my PTO bank and that is how I am going to do it.

Morning Sillies!

I hear this is the last cool day and tomorrow we will start getting warmer and sunnier....here's crossing the fingers to that.

Well off to work some. Talk to you all later!!

Good Morning all,

SO much catching up to do when you miss a day....guess I'll have to try not to do that anymore.

The idea of a get together sounds AWESOME. Wife and I LOVE to travel, so it could be a good road trip.

Today is gardening day before i head in to tell those silly pilots where to go. We bought some roses and a new lilac tree yesterday, and now we have to plant them...then I think the wife wants to get some herbs for her window baskets....should be a good time! I'm so clumsy I'll be lucky to have all my parts when I'm done :)

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:

<now why didn't *I* think of that?>

No word a'tall from the woman to whom I sent my resume yesterday. Because, that's right, IT SUUUUUUCKS.

Ah, I wouldn't worry until 4 or 5 days.

That woman must have PLENTY to do, right?

But, I hope our very own MG can come too!!!!!

I'd heard of Moose Jaw in my youth tho maybe only in a Guess Who song. (Medicine Hat too :) ) I'll guess "Runnin' Back to Saskatoon".

Just checked my wall map of the world & surprised to see it's as far east as DENVER!!!!!!

Ryan's driving to Philly?????? :blink::o

Good mornin' HERE Sillies .. .but .. .

YIKES!!!! I wake up to news of Fire in Santa Cruz Mountains!!!

Luckily it's nowhere near the Kissey Cabin area.

Way south, Susie, by Mt Madonna & Hwy152.

Oy!! Firefighters have been working it for 5hrs and it's grown to 2000 acres - what's weird to me is they're predicting it could be 10,000 acres before they get a hold on it.

What they call Fire Season hasn't started yet. The brush dries out & gets brown mid-summer.

Good thing the heat is long gone.

We had 2 days close to 100 a week ago, but now it's the normal low 70s. That pleases the firefighters. (Me too :) )

Interesting insight into human nature.

We had a potluck. Everyone made something gluten free, except the girl whom I expected to actually work while she's at work. She made bread pudding...

Well....haven't heard back since my interview, yet. :unsure: She said I would get a call in 2-3 days. This is day 3. I'll bet they save the rejections for last. It's going to really suck if I don't get any work this summer :(

Usually absolute rejections are first. Your more likely in the "possible" pile. Just hard to know where in that pile you are...

:lol::lol:

I took my dad to his proceedure this afternoon, and during the car ride I told him about my superb idea of taking both him and Elsie to the vet's, as he could likely get the tests done there in as timely a manner, and I'd only be hitting one place. He thought that this would be a very novel approach to health care. "But", he said, "let's take it a step further, and REALLY multi-task. While you got Elsie's microchip, they could have shot one into my neck as well, and into those of any other senior headed for dementia. I don't know who I am, I go wandering the streets one night - - that chip will tell my tale".

What an interesting postulation. :rolleyes::lol:

      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?
