No, don't worry, it isn't you. It is Emily who reportedly scares new people away.

Once you get to know her, Emily is, well, almost normal (for a silly). :ph34r::wub:

I'm a tired old guy, so I'm off to bed for the night. Carry on, sillies (if anyone is still awake).

Busy busy day here . . . and I didn't even take another stab at the mountain of mulch, but I'm happy to report that my last Market Day Sale (PTO fundraiser of which I am the chairman) has been completed. Suppose to rain tomorrow so probably no mulching then either . . . darn it . . . :rolleyes:

Morning sillies.....Welcome to Friday and a 3-day weekend!!!!! How fun!!!

Does anyone have any big memorial day plans? We are just going to catch ArtsFest and John's family picnic (blah!)

Last night I was out purchasing a new lap top, mine has died....and I only bought a year ago....and John didn't get the warranty since he says they were a waste. It was an HP and I had always sworn by HP, I always had great luck...when I started having problems and I went to research them I found page after page of people with the same problems. HP was not helping either... so I started looking for a new computer and I got a Dell lap top.

I pick it up later today....exciting!

Morning, Sillies!

Looking forward to a moderate, interval-type jog/speed-walk this am wif me dogs. Elisie's legs appear a little stronger, but they're still like sticks...could take some time to build up the muscle mass. Yesterday I looked out the back window where the two of them were running around, and Gus is standing there panting, eyes half-closed, and Elsie is dodging around him, nipping at his bum and chest. Then she manages to get his collar between her teeth (accidentally, I'm sure), plants her front feet and starts tudding madly..."C'mon, c'mon, new friend! Don't just stand there! Life is beautiful! Please run by my side with reckless abandon!!" Gus now notices me in the window, and stares, a combination of this :huh: and this <_< .

Well, Elsie did give up, and just stood there chewing on his collar. :lol:

No, don't worry, it isn't you. It is Emily who reportedly scares new people away.

:lol::lol:

King Peter, I am very happy that you chose red for me name...it is the universal coloUr for caution, danger....stopping.....insanity... :lol:

I have the most disgusting HUGE blister on the sole of my foot after yesterdays marathon walk.

Nikki! Ewwwwwwwww....

Ya need to pop it.

Speaking of marathon-type matters, I am running with my kids (think it'll be more walking wif them) in the Ottawa Race Weekend tomorrow night....think we're just in a 5K.

Hmmmmm....speaking of blisters...... <_<

Mornin' Sillies....nothin much to report. Gearing up for yet ANOTHER weekend of painting. The casein'ing is winding it's way down--just a lingering headache <_<

On the sunny side (hee hee), it's supposed to be a delightful weekend here--sunny, warmer, and no rain! B) We may see the new Indiana Jones movie :)

Nikki--heinous blister :angry:

Phataughm--we saw footage of the wildfires in SC on the news....wow

Amanda--I have a Dell laptop....of course it's on vacation right now :lol: --but I've been very happy with it. Glad to hear you're picking yours up today! :D

We MAY be in the area for the Psillies Psummit, but we'll see. If DW can get the time off of work then maybe.

DELL may make some of the best computers IMHO. We have a desktop AND a laptop from them, and they both work VERY well and we've had no problems with either.

I had my DD at the dentist for the first time yesterday, and I was amazed and proud that she did not even cry of fuss AT ALL! She is such a good girl. Even the Dentist was psurprised (did I get it?) She was asking this morning if she had to go back today to make sure her teeth stayed shiny. LOL

Well, off to walk the dog and get some more domestic type work done.

All right...DELL makes fine computers...who makes fine digital cameras? I have only bought one, an inexpensive HP about six years ago, and it has died. So, I'm in the market for a new one. I want great picture quality, and a lithium battery. Anybody got any recommedations? (Note that I have not started a separate thread on this, as we Sillies know absolutely everything, and there's never any need)..... ;):)

We have a Sony and a Pentax--the Sony is easier to use so we almost never even use the Pentax. Don't know what kind of battery it uses, though :ph34r:

Picture quality is great, though, IMHO. :)

As far as that goes, we DO spell like Brits up here, with a small amount of French spellings thrown in. It can get VERY confusing sometimes. :)

Did you know that Dole :angry: processes their dates in a facility that processes wheat?

I sure didn't since I've been snacking on them for the last week.

Now I wonder if it was the casein in the creamer that's been making me sick :unsure: I can't believe I'm still playing the "what made me sick" game after all this time :blink:

I suspected them because I stopped using the creamer and was struck with D again this morning :( --and I called them.

For the love of Pete! :angry: (sorry PeOter--not you ;) )

We eschew normality!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't fear Emily- I fear the quiet ones who lurk without posting under anonymity- oh wait- that's you Pieter :P:lol:

So maybe I still have a chance. :unsure: But the longer I wait, the more I worry. :( AARRGHH!

I hope you get it but, there is the Philly Psilly Psummit!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

: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".

Emily- :lol: :lol: :lol: your dad is THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a great idea :ph34r:

Nikki! Ewwwwwwwww....

Ya need to pop it.

Oh darling...be careful. Last time I popped a blister I ended up with cellulitis (no not cellulite- already had that :P). But then again, I am a vortex of bacteria :ph34r:

Delightful weekend here as well. Overcast. A bit of drizzle. Perfect for all of us that live in Seattle on purpose. :)

Jess- Can I come live wif you for da summah? I wub Seattle and it's nice and cool. I could be your cats' nanny or your chef/personal assistant/limo driver/cleaning lady. I do not do windows. :lol:

Well...I have always considered popping them the correct approach, but it seems we're both right, Nikki:

Decide whether to prick or not to prick. Once you have a blister, you have to decide what's best to do with it. That is, should you protect it and leave it alone, or should you prick it and drain the fluid?

"I think it depends on the size of the blister," says Suzanne Tanner, M.D., a private practitioner in Denver, Colorado, who specializes in sports medicine. "A purist will probably tell you not to prick it, because then you don't run any risk of infection. But I think for most people that's just not very practical."

While purists do indeed exist, our experts say you should prick large blisters that are painful, while leaving intact smaller blisters that cause no discomfort. "When you have a big blister that's in a weightbearing area, you almost have to drain it," says Clare Starrett, D.P.M., a professor at the Foot and Ankle Institute of the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. "They can get so full they get like a balloon."

Also, blisters that are likely to break on their own should be drained by you, our experts say. That way, you can control when and how the blister is opened, instead of leaving it to chance.

I'd say pop it!

Oh, Gad....not dates, now?... :blink::angry:

Craisins are by Ocean Spray....still wouldn't put it past 'em to make them right along with wheat somephin or other <_<

The Dole guy also said that the parfait that has caramel apple (?) contains barley--so I just thought I'd pass that along.

Ah well, ya live and learn :D

Lordy, I'm tired! Been cleaning most of the day. A friend dropped by with her daughters. Her older daughter is 3 1/2, and Oh... mah... gah... She and Ezra have been in love since she was born, I swear. The cuteness that occurs when they're together is indescribable!

Speaking of Ezra... he had the off of school, and we ran into a convenience store after dropping Luke off at school. I told him he could pick out a small piece of candy, and he chose this tiny little spray bottle of liquid candy (sugar.) After breakfast, I let him open it, and while we're trying to figure out how it works-- he sprayed liquid candy right into my left eye. :blink: Omg, it burned! Actually it still burns a little. <_<

Hopefully, that'll be the only injury of the day.

Got a busy weekend going... Tonight, Luke's class is putting on a song and dance routine at the PTO fundraiser festival. Tomorrow he has a b-day party to go to, and Sunday Ezra has a b-day party to go to. Wish me luck!

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      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
