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 :)

Ryan!! Fantastic! Philly must be southeast for you....how long a drive is it for you? Moose Jaw is quite north, is it not? It'll be about an 11 hour jaunt for us...

If you go back about 150 pages, there is talk about very handy....um...protective. .. slings.. . that could be tied on at such times. <_<:lol:

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.

:angry::(

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:

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      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...

      Insomnia help

      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,...

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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!
