Oh! It seems there was another shot snapped as I was crossing the finish line - - a better picture, looks MUCH more like me in real life:

.....this is when I jump on his back, curled up like a bug, and cling to him for dear life........'tis quite funny to everyone, esp. to David.....as he was crouched down, looking at sumfin' on bottom shelf, I attacked :lol:

If one can imagine, DH does this to me.. .. . yes, all 180 pounds of him, on my back. Curled up like one mother bug. Also quite funny to everyone... .. .although I'm failing to find as much humour in it the older I get. . ... :lol:

Sounds like a scene out of the Pink Panther with Peter Sellers & 'Cato' :lol:

:lol: 'tis not unlike that! Must point out, though, that June Bug is accompanied by the warning cry: "JUNE BUG!!!!!!!!!!!" and then the pounce....... :lol: I invented it while Kissey was rolling out his sleeping mat and bag in teh tent.............he can't shake me off, no matter how hard me tries :lol:

Much has transpired in the last two days with regard to our staffing challenges. I can't share anything in a public space, but something I did not expect has developed. Don't rule out silly Peter in Philly just yet.

ooooooooooo intrigue

Ya know, Phataughm, I've been thinking along this line for you too. I also wonder if you might not have yet another food intolerance. I had months and months of feeling better and than not--and it's so disheartening to have this happen over and over again. I ended up having to cut out quite a few foods --just about every plant protein known to man. I know your diet is very strict already, but could there possibly be something you eat often that has turned into a culprit now?

Just thinkin' B) Stupid leaky gut :angry:

Yeahhhhhhhh I do wonder about that.

First I've got to get back to practicing what I used to preach over on OMG - not having ANYTHING that I'm not positive is 100% safe.

Maybe 2 or 3 wks w/out trying any tests of the maybe-or-probably-safe stuff will get me back to happy & silly. :)

Thx for bringing up your thoughts. :wub:

It may soon be time for me to try some of the testing done by the OMGers.

You know, life just wouldn't be right if we weren't gettin' slapped around by Nikki once a month . . . :lol::lol:

Yes, and we got a bonus :evilcackle: this time

Well, if you kept doubling back you went twice as far as everyone else!

So . .. .Janet, Lisa, Jess . . ..am I the only one that starts thinking of the equations for this?

Scott claims a longer time, but my empirical investigations indicate that you have as a minimum two hours to make corrections. Welcome back, Alex, and I am waiting to see what you almost posted before chickening out. :lol:

Actually, I've glanced again at that photo, and I look quite like a cow, I believe.. . .Extremely unflattering. :rolleyes::angry: Perhaps when one is caught running, it's an automatic ten-pounds-go-on kind of illusion. Hell, I hope so... . :lol:

Au contraire, quite svelte I think. A little like Open Original Shared Link maybe. This adds credence to my "Skinny Mirror" theory. The theory goes that the way you see yourself in a skinny mirror (eg. those deceptive mirrors in fitting rooms that make everything look good on you) is the way that everyone else sees you in real life. So basically we all see you as looking ~10 pounds lighter than you see yourself looking in that picture! B)

Who knew you were so buxom -- :lol: I like that word. But nah, I prefer the picture of the tired runner who ran back and forth to cross the finish line with her son. A MUCH more attractive photo! :)

We went to see Indiana Jones tonight. Pretty good -- but not really my kind of movie. I can only willingly suspend my disbelief so much!

That's good to know. I guess 2 hours would have been enough to go back and make all of the necessary corrections! I wasn't sure what kind of time line we were looking at. I was afraid if I took too long it wouldn't let me submit my modified post.

Hmmmmm........theoretically, one could hypothesize that Emily could have traveled as much as 3 times the distance of said Ripper. Let's see....if we knew the time at which they completed the race....... and the speed at which subject Emily traveled.....let's assume for the sake of argument that Ripper traveled at 2 m/s...( speed =distance/time)......he would finish the 5k race in 1.44 hrs.....if Emily finished at the same time, traveling at 4 m/s,.....(distance=speed x time).... she would travel a distance of 20.76k........however, if you take into consideration that Emily's speed fluctuated, as she would most assuredly would want to decelerate to Ripper's pace on occassion.......

Don't forget that as she was returning to the Ripper, he was moving forward, so each double-back did not constitute a full double distance.

I think the couch is calling to me now........ :ph34r: A short Sunday nap..........chores later.......SOOOOOO much fun going to Lowe's after a couple o' mojitos........ :lol: I even did June Bug to David......this is when I jump on his back, curled up like a bug, and cling to him for dear life........'tis quite funny to everyone, esp. to David.....as he was crouched down, looking at sumfin' on bottom shelf, I attacked :lol:

Across the pond, I believe this maneuver is called the "Piggy-Bat".

My original calculations were based on the guesstimation that Emily was running twice as fast as the Ripper was walking and he ran a straight 5K, and she continued running the entire time that he was walking, whether she was doubling back or running in circles or whatever. But obviously there's a flaw in my theory :unsure: I said I love math.....that doesn't necessarily mean I'm always good at it :lol::lol::lol:

Just for you Ptaurghauomn :D

that reminds me of Jin's Pudding Explosion circa aught-six.

Morning, Sillies!!

Ahhhhh, what a perfect flurry of late-night posts for me to have missed - - could honestly feel my stomach tightening as I skipped through the problem-solving equations and hypotheses of the two travelled distances from our race... .. .honestly, you number people!! :lol:

Actually, at the top of our pic the time is shown as we crossed the finish line - - 44:10. :) Another fact to consider in your calculations: I'm fairly certain I doubled back eight times.. . ..but no idea how much farther ahead of Jack I had gotten each time before turning back....

Gaaaaaaahhhhhhh..... ... .my braaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnn.............

Across the pond, I believe this maneuver is called the "Piggy-Bat".

:lol::lol:

Yes! Nikki's av - - it's the Kisseys out shopping!

Nikki! We were typically mystified and properly shocked as the niave little Canadian tourists that we were....each time we boarded the subway in London last summer, to see beer flowing freely, lots of soccer-singing, hands up skirts, staggering and bellowing (and honestly, this was not midnight - - it was late afternoon!).. ..

Nikki...........now that I ponder this, I remember getting on at Camden Town and sharing the car with a loud, wanton woman, wild, curly hair flying about, dancing on the seats, blistered feet causing her to swear like a trucker.... .. .

Could it have been?.... ... ..

:lol::lol:

      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 +

      @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.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. 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
