P.S. It kinda blows my mind that you'd go to Phx voluntarily when it's 112F :ph34r: , unless it's just a pit-stop on the way to Sedona or other cooler spots.

Edit P.P.S. OK, maybe I'm badmouthing it too much. I just didn't have much fun at all in my recent 2yrs there. As long as you're visiting someone whose company you enjoy - well, I guess that's a good enough reason to brave the pounding relentless demon sun.

:lol: I, living in a desert, am in TOTAL agreement with Ptaum. I totally don't understnad why people go to Palm Springs, Phoenix, any desert region in the freakin' summer, of all things. I HATE THE HEAT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :ph34r::huh: rant over. :lol:

Just a couple of days ago I read AAA's "Via" magazine, there was some fab hotel in Phoenix (or was it Palm Springs? Have dingo'd it) and I read the article in fascination.........as it reported that this hotel's busiest season was summer. What in hell, I though to myself. well, all guests reportedly spend virtually ALL DAY in the hotel's pool........many families eating all three meals poolside, never leaving.

Um, I'll just stay in my air-conditioned house, thank you veddy much, and travel to these hellholes in the dead o' winter. :lol:

:lol: Editing to fix the date--at first, I typed "1772"! I ain't quite that old :D

:lol: No you ain't!

Am currently experiencing a moment of...........pleasant boredom? Not ennui...........not quite apoplectic boredom.............'tis a new thing. Playful boredom? Contented ennui? :lol: dunno yet........

OMG........This relentless desert heat sounds every bit as bad as the unimaginable stuff DH had to live (and work) through in August and September '04, when hurricanes Jean and Ivan tore a devastating path of destruction across the Cayman Islands, Jamaica and The Bahamas. He flew down and worked through all the insurance claims with a disaster relief organization. There was no electricity anywhere, (no refrigeration or air condidtioning), and sooooooooo tropically humid....August in these islands is easily over 100 F, and the heaviest of tropical air........I don't quite know how he managed.

Still.....I might have enjoyed being invited along....lying on some beach.......

No such luck.

Hopefully next time!

Okay, folks, I have exposed myself. I mean, the cloaking device is off and I am not anonymous. What did you think I meant? :ph34r:

Interesting things are happening in our little world. As you know, we are losing both of our part-time employees. C worked his last shift tonight, and will drop by tomorrow to trade his key for a paycheck. H works her final shift tomorrow morning. We get an evening together and a relaxed morning for what may be the last time in a while. :(

We are interviewing someone tomorrow afternoon who looks good on paper, but knows nothing of our business. It will take weeks to train her, but she would be permanent.

Out of the blue yesterday, we got a resume from a university student. Now, we don't normally hire summer students because it takes too long to train them to get any return on investment before they go back to school. But this guy has had summer jobs in 2005 and 2006 at our store. It was a corporate store then, so we would have to teach him what things we as franchisees do differently. But total training cost would be very low, so a summer hire might make sense in this case. :)

There is an ancient Chinese curse I have been told: "May you live in interesting times." Hmmm.

There's not a lotta there there, but you might want to visit Scottsdale's Old Town district and/or Tempe's Mill Ave.

Oh wait .. . .didn't you say you'd like the dry heat? There are good hiking parks all around. Lemme know how much you like heat after that. :lol:<_< (Bring 3x the amount of water you'd expect)

Here's list of other Phx stuff Open Original Shared Link

Thanks!

Nah ... Phx, Scottsdale, Tempe etc all adjacent.

Um, NO, I'm going for a Drs appointment. I figured I'd take advantage of being there and see or do something.

And what is Annie doing whilst this is happening? Is she laying down with her head on a swivel watching you go to and fro, or is she passed out somewhere else in the house??

I saw this on another board that I still read, but haven't posted to in years, in the middle of a flame war about legal liability. It struck a chord with me, and I think it will with you. Two posts later a moderator locked the thread. I'm glad it lasted long enough for this to get posted. If you want the link, send me a PM--I don't think it would be a good fit here.

Obituary of the late Common Sense

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; life isn

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @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.

      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
