Hi Carla!!! Been a long time since I saw you.

We are terrible today....a lot of people have either taken the day off or went home early so we are just piddling around on the net. It has been so long since I had a day like this!

It has been a while Amanda since you've been able to anything more than a drive by from work.

Nikki: I believe that you are pregnant.

:o OMGawd....could it be? :o

I was doing so well Sun/Mon, I just had to test Tjoe's new organic fake fritos, in the hope that, like tomatoes, the Organic aspect would make it ok.

Nope. Have had a slow mushy brain ever since, but getting better now.

Ahh yes Peeder, where has the Common Sense gone . ...

Sorry 'bout the mushy brain and all, Pataughm....is it too much to ask to have a freaking treat once in a while??? :angry:

And you said "Peeder" :lol:

What's wrong with my post count?????

Oh Cahr-lah....nothing wrong, per se....it's just that you are getting pretty close to a roll-over to a number so far mostly unheard of.....except of course by Moi. :D Here in Sillyville, such noteworthy post rollovers are commonly met with phluid onslaughts. Word to the wise--check yer plumbing and carry an umbrella ;)

Ugh! I have a sore throat from H-E-double hockey sticks.

Double ugh! Feel better soon, Julie :D

Sorry you missed these, Alex:

Awwww Weezeee!!! I miss that always by my side furry friend :(

OMG - right now, Weezee is crouched at the front door in her sphinx position (cutest thing EVER), waiting for Daddy....... :lol: (who is out on his blasted MOTORCYCLE :angry: )

and Julie - sorry about your sore throat - heinous!

About your kitty Will, sounds like he skipped the toddler years and went straight into his teens. Look at what he is pulling already :lol:

:lol: yes - a true teenaged kitty, that Will!

Sensible Observations:

Well, I now have both of my children home for the summer. A superb final concert....Jack was quintessentially librarianish - - he truly captured the spirit, the mindset and the attitude that encompasses one of these hard-working individuals.

Gawd, Ptaoughmghmn, I'm a bit concerned.......I'm starting to read things the way you do......

It was another way to read Julie's :emoticon:.....the word "quiz" was there, and "icicle", I believe......Having trouble remembering....it was very phunee and clever at the time! :rolleyes:

Jack came into the room and asked one of his great questions:

Why do we say that people are "head over heels" when they're in love? Aren't we normally this way?

:lol: :lol: I actually can't believe how nice those dresses are. But I spilled about half a class of wine (white thank gawd!) on my chest area at the reception so things may have gotten a little R-rated had I been wearing one of those beauties.

Yeah for Jack! Sounds like a very charming concert. Must be great for his confidence too!

So I saw Get Smart with my grandpa this evening. It was quite good -- funny, entertaining. I wouldn't say superb but good. I'm almost embarrassed to admit this bit I almost ate licorice at the theatre! What's wrong with me? The second ingredient is wheat flour! Licorice just doesn't immediately make me think gluten. I bought it and almost ate it without looking at the ingredients. I really am careful -- I just nearly lost my mind for a minute. But thankfully crisis averted.

Right now my bro is over watching the NHL draft with Ryan. It's quite agonizingly boring! I do feel bad for the guys who are sitting there with their parents not knowing if they're going to be picked. There will be many sad young men tonight. Poor guys are only like 20; lots of stress and disappointment for people that age.

I think the term comes from "falling head over heels" in love. Apparently, when one falls, the heels at some point may be higher than the head.

Or not..... :lol:

Sounds like heels over head to me!!!!! :D:P

Shins over skull? Metatarsal over mandible? <persondible?>

Good Saturday morning, Sillies!

Sophie spent all last evening turning her room upside down, gathering junk material to sell at her friend's garage sale today. She came into the living room with a garbage bag FULL of evidence of her pack-rat status.

I did an unwise thing. I peeked in the bag. GAH!! I whip out her two stuffed bears that were given to her, a year apart, when she passed senior kindergarten, then grade one. Ya GOTTA keep those!! Then, more unwise manouvers - - dug down some more <_< , and there was her Etch-a-sketch that we gave her for Christmas when she was four, and she and I sat with it on her bed every night concocting amazing faces and animals together....What are you thinkin' Sophie? This STAYS!

Then the beading set she got from Grandma when she was in bed with the chicken pox, to keep her occupied....the autographed photo of Walter Gretzky.....AND....wait for this.....CARE BEAR figurines ("Sophie, you HAVE TO keep these, in honour of Sillyville. Don't you understand??")

Gad. She left with a small box of things.... :lol::lol:

I do feel bad for the guys who are sitting there with their parents not knowing if they're going to be picked. There will be many sad young men tonight. Poor guys are only like 20; lots of stress and disappointment for people that age.

:(:(

This flashes me back a couple of years, when The Ripper was a liitle boy in the school yard, ALWAYS last picked for ANY sports team....such a cruel way for them to organize a gym class..... :angry:

Sounds like heels over head to me!!!!! :D:P

Shins over skull? Metatarsal over mandible? <persondible?>

Just don't have the same ring, do it? :rolleyes:

This is what my Friday nights have come to--sitting at the computer in my jammies, eating almond butter from the jar. Don't know if I can take much more excitment :lol:

:lol: I hear you on that one, Patti!

Now I gotta get up early and call the phone company so they don't send a guy out here after all. :rolleyes:

Sarah!! Don't call and cancel! Let the guy come by.....could be a Pattiplumber-type..... :rolleyes::)

Ridgewalker Contributor
Sarah!! Don't call and cancel! Let the guy come by.....could be a Pattiplumber-type..... :rolleyes::)

Well, I've already been on hold for 10... no, make that 13 minutes, trying to get through to someone to tell them not to send the guy, sooo........ He could show at any time.

And I really have to go poop. To hang up, or not to hang up?

Ridgewalker Contributor
And I really have to go poop. To hang up, or not to hang up?

Took the phone to bathroom with me and figured, "Oh well, if someone comes on the line while I'm in here, well... at least it's not diarrhea." But I'm done and still on hold. <_<

Every once in awhile, a recording comes on and says that "all their technicians" are currently assisting other people. Yeah right, this is Surry County. It's one 17-year-old computer genius sitting there all by himself. Whatev. Other than that, I've listened to the same Rachmaninov three times now. Hopeless.

Ridgewalker Contributor

Well, POOPY COW. I gave up. I guess I gotta, like, get dressed now or something. I was hoping I could make a quick call and lay back down and snooze for awhile longer. Now I feel like it's too late. <_<

Brian and Ezra are up in PA, by the way, for a reunion. Luke and I stayed down here. It feels so... QUIET! :rolleyes:

jerseyangel Proficient

Jeeze Sarah--the one day you coulda lazed around and you have to get dressed and wait for a tech that you don't even need :angry:

I say, you honestly tried to call them.....tape a nice note to your door saying that you tried several times to call and cancel the appointment --the problem has resolved itself, and you had to run out.

Then, go snuggle back under the covers :D

Tis quiet indeed. I'm here. I am doing domestic chores and errands today while Jacquie covers the store, so I will be in and out, and probably more out than in.

Emily calls Sophie a pack rat, and then tells her she must keep a bunch of old stuff. I seem to recall something about a pot and a kettle. :lol::D

Aren't call centers the most wondrous thing in the world, Sarah? :angry:

      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
