Susie!....How can this be?? I am truly flummoxed by this....I laugh heartily all the way through, and marvel at what I hear as clever, multi-layered timing and humour.

And sometimes Seinfeldian - like in Cell Phone, when it turns out Lacey's 'Save the Silo' campaign backfires in that the new cell tower was to go there. :)

On a related note - I saw part of the Monk pilot the other day & . ... ..Hank was in it!!!!!!

Of course, wearing a hat, but it was a newsboy cap or whatever, backwards.

He was killed :ph34r: and a car accident faked but it didn't fool Adrian. ;)

Wow, I leave for a few hours for a home cooked birthday meal and some DVD watching and I'm behind 4 pages. You were all in Phine Phunny Phorm this evening! We watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding and The Princess Bride-- two perennial favourite feel good movies. I must remember to pay Ryan back by watching some Batman movies on his birthday! ;)

Everything sounds great, Alex! Your guys are taking such good care of you :)

Can I just say how happy I am to see you so happy and doing so well! :D:D

I know, I'm so blessed with my family and my Ryan. Don't know what I'd do without them!

And thank-you! I'm so much better in mind, body, and spirit than I was on my last birthday and exponentially better than I was 18 or so months ago. Sometimes I forget how sick I was and how fortunate I was to have been diagnosed so quickly. I try to remember to be grateful, grateful, grateful!

I knew I'd find Alex here. I've come to wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Wish you great wishes to come true, sweet girl! ;)

Thanks for stopping by for my birthday Lisa! :D

Oops, forget to say thanks for the confetti Tom, it was beautiful!

Susie!....How can this be?? I am truly flummoxed by this....I laugh heartily all the way through, and marvel at what I hear as clever, multi-layered timing and humour. I would have been absolutely CERTAIN that you would get a kick out of it.....

You must keep watching it.....it is SOOOOO PHUNNNNEEE!!!

My dad loves Corner Gas! I bought him one of the seasons on DVD for Christmas. I usually watch it but I'm kind of just meh about it. It does make me laugh quite consistently but I don't think that I have the appreciation like you guys and my dad have for the show.

And all of this talk about reading and book clubs, I must admit that I hardly ever read. It is bad and sad and I feel that I should be ashamed about it. It was good in high school when I had to read certain books for English class because I ended up loving a couple of the books -- The Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird. But I am not good at picking books for myself. I am always afraid I won't like the book. And there are just too many books to choose from -- I walk into Chapters and I get overwhelmed and just scurry to the CDs and DVDs! Does anyone have a good book recommendation for me? :unsure:

Remember House of Sand and Fog? I threw it in the trash.......have never hated a book more... :lol: (I trade many books at used book store)

Susie, what did you hate about it? Was it just bad?

I watched the movie when it first came out (great actors, critical acclaim, yada, yada, yada...) and WHOARGH, it completely traumatized me, ya'll. I cried through most of the movie, and then pretty much cried all night. :blink:

Well, today's the day of Mom's dr appt. She gets her stitches out from the biopsy, and we should get the results. I've been looking at pictures of different types of skin cancer on the net this morning, and haven't seen anything that looks like what Mom has. But I also looked at pics of actinic keratosis, which is supposedly what the original biopsy showed two years ago, and it also looks nothing like any of those pictures.

ALL the pictures I looked at either looked like 1) a rash of varying colors; or 2) a gross oozing, crusty growth. Mom's thing is just a slightly raised discolored (pinkish) area, that looks a little dry.

In other words, I'm utterly confused, and this is exactly why I have NOT let myself search internet pictures before, up till now. Will update later.

I had one that looked exactly like that on my hand. I couldn't find a similar pic either, so I waited---thought maybe it was eczema. Finally went to the doc......he thought it looked pre-cancerous. Did a biopsy.....it was basal cell carcinoma-----that's not as serious as a lot of other skin cancers. When he did the biopsy he took off the whole thing, so nothing more needed to be done. It's been fine. A couple years later I found a similar one on my shoulder.......it was negative. Either way, I'm sure your mom will be fine.

Boy Nikki, this thing has realy taken you down :(

As a girl who is quite fond of food and eating, I know it's bad when it gets to the point where everything sounds yucky to eat, just the thought of eating gets a big "Ughhhh!"

I hope the tin of soup settles well with you :)

Sarah you and your mom are definitely in my thoughts!

I love HGTV :wub: You didn't happen to see House Hunters last night, did you? The couple who bought a house trailer on a boat slip in Florida for $520k :o Half a million...I couldn't believe it.

I digress... :lol: It's a nice, conservative tan-ish/khakki color with white trim. Very clean and neat :)

I love HGTV too, I watch it phrequently :lol: , but no, I was actually watching Top Chef reunion last night on Bravo so I missed House Hunters.

I think you will like the tan-ish kahki with white trim. All my walls here and ceiling are painted a very creamy mocha color, think coffee with cream, kind of a camel if you will, with crisp white trim. Everything just pops against it in a room. Art work and pictures on the wall look stunning.

      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,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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

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.
