Can I request any particular phluids?

Hmmmm. Lisa, don't think so. Most onslaughts have involved toilet matter, blood, snot, vomit......and I believe in my case, motor oil on one occasion. So, there are many variables, each one more shocking than the next... ..... . :lol:

OMG.....just pondering this.....But of course one cannot request a particular phluid!

Duuuuhhhhh......

Think I'd have a large order in for Dom Perignon, coming through the cracks in my ceiling, or up my sewage drain...... :lol::rolleyes:

Ha! If I could choose, I would not have chosen Peter to be the recipient of the phluids! :lol: :lol: I say, send them to the ex!

"To Carla" has already been coined, but I guess it can have two meanings as the first never seems to be used around here .... any of you remember the 1/4 of a donut? Well, "to Carla" is to eat something in moderation ... like I was eating 1/4 of a donut per week. :D That word NEVER gets used.

Well, we're off to Miami in the morning and are not taking our computers! So, I'll see you late next week. :D I probably won't try to catch up. :lol:

Can you get engaged to one man, while you're awaiting your divorce from another. :blink:

Needless to say, it's been very interesting around here. Got one of those boomerang kids.

So what do you think?

I would think it would be fine. Engagement is more of a social construct than an legal one, I think. I'm sorry for the difficult situation your daughter is going through. I'm sure she's grateful to have the soft landing of home to boomerang back to during this hard time. And I have to second what Patti mentioned -- I have a great aunt who went through a very similar situation and I attended the 50th anniversary of her second marriage just a couple of years ago. I'm sending thoughts of strength for her and you and your family. :)

So . . . we were at the party this afternoon/evening and I did it! :D :D I was able to get a private moment with her and explained why I wanted her to have this special gift and my intense gratitude to her and I didn't freeze up or stutter or cry (well maybe a few tears but no unsightly sobbing ;) ). There was much hugging and many tears on her part. She seemed very touched and her happiness made all of the anxiety and agonizing worth it. Thanks everyone for being my sounding board and givers-of-advice :). I tend to over think things (if that wasn't already obvious! :lol: )

Hello Sillies,

Got a question here. Need your collective wisdom.

Some of you may remember the wedding, two years ago, for my daughter. Yeah, well.....not such a good idea. AND, I KNEW THAT AT THE TIME!!!!! <_<

Can you get engaged to one man, while you're awaiting your divorce from another. :blink:

Needless to say, it's been very interesting around here. Got one of those boomerang kids.

So what do you think?

(and seriously working toward my 5,000 post - Patti what happens - I'm afraid)

You can get engaged, but in some places, the divorce has to be final for a certain amount of time before you can get married again (here it's a year) once the divorce is final.

Hope that helps.

Good Sunday morning, Sillies!

Many of us are away.....Susie's in Carmel, Amanda and Carla in FL. Can't wait until we leave....just a few days, now. PeOter and Bev!! PLEASE say you can attend the Psummit July 10th! :):)

Well, "to Carla" is to eat something in moderation ... like I was eating 1/4 of a donut per week. :D That word NEVER gets used.

Gawd, a word never used in MY everyday life, 'tis true....... <_<

So . . . we were at the party this afternoon/evening and I did it!

Way to go, Alex! :):)

Trip Update!!!!

Greetings From FL Sillies!!!!!

I had to purchase the wireless access for the room today so we can do our online airline check-in later today.

Things are great. We got into our hotel very late Friday night. Our flight was on time, but the flight attendants were coming from a different flight and that flight was not on time, so we didn

Oh Alex!! I'm so glad to hear it :D I knew she'd be touched, and I'm happy you didn't get too weepy :)

Hello all the way to Florida, Amanda!!!!!!!! :D:D

Gads, that storm sounded awful--you poor thing! Yep--we had a Publix when we lived in Georgia--they were very nice, but nothing like Wegmans.

Have a great day and safe trip home :)

Sillies--too bad you're not here right now.....I'm making home phries with onion and it smells devine :rolleyes: We got up and moving earlier and cleaned the porches and did some weeding and cleaning of the pond. The phish actually come up to us now whilst Mark pulls out the string algea. :P

They give us a look like--"what in hell are you doing with that?" :lol:

Mornin' Sillies!

Alex - YaY!! I'm sure this figurine has now become this lady's favoUrite in her collection with so much meaning and thoughtfulness behind the gift.

Amanda - YIKES!!! Glad you're both safe and sound.

Confession . . . :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

I am the world's worst neighbor. My neighbor asked me on Friday to let her dogs out at 10 & 2 as no one would be home to do it and their youngest dog (a couple of years old) has potty issues . . . I TOTALLY SPACED IT!!!! OMGAWD!!!!! What do I do?? She has a college student staying at the house now till they get back from vacation so whatever happened, the college student had to deal with. I'm waiting until a more likely hour that their house-sitter will actually be up and then I think I'll just go give her some money and buy off my guilt!!! I told my husband what I did and his response? . . . not, Oh I'm sure it won't be too bad . . . it was Yeah, you are the world's worst neighbor!

What an adventure, Amanda! SO glad you are safe. That must have been truly frightening. Don't be embarrassed about those tears - - they are an instinctive, natural part of the fear response.

That pool sounds AMAZING! I have a real penchant for big, exciting, meandering pools with neat things in them. I would be in heaven in this place. And Jack! Don't get me started...... :)

Gads, that storm sounded awful--you poor thing! Yep--we had a Publix when we lived in Georgia--they were very nice, but nothing like Wegmans.

Patti, I will PM you today or tomorrow about our trip, but quickly, do you know if there is a Weggies in the area of Philly that I'll be? Hope so......

The phish actually come up to us now whilst Mark pulls out the string algea. :P

Hey! Patti, they're looking at you funny because that is TEL'S job, remember?

Evening all!!

Dear GOD! -I have had the most hellascious afternoon <_<

If I EVER suggest going to the IKEA sale again please shoot me or sumfink :rolleyes:

...I dunno if your Ikea's work like ours but you amble round looking (taking hrs..t'is like a rats maze)....find what you like

.....WRITE it down on a bit o' paper (weird Swedish names like 'FRARKE', measurements, coloUr)

... struggle through the lighting, bedroom, bathroom, textile depts

.....go downstairs and TRY TO FIND your flat pack furniture which is spread over umm. :blink: 60 AISLES

.....n.b half is out of stock. :angry: .........queue for 20 mins......hot, sweaty...& feet are killin' me

This is truly what they make YOU DO IN HELL (but with small children)

I was wondering why all these people brought their kids wif 'em to Ikea.....then I realised I had 2 of mine wiv' me :ph34r: :laughing:

The highlight of the trip however was that we managed to buy a frozen gluten-free tarte (pie) in their small food dept -gotta luv the Scandinavians for always doing gluten-free options -(BTW - they also do fantastic meatballs in their restaurant :P )

....but Tel squashed me finger whilst loading a particulary cumbersome flat packed chest of drawers

This all started 'cos someone gave us some really nice fully lined curtains which I thought would go nice in Al's bedroom....BUT I needed to get him a new blind......couldn't bear the thought of a nicely dressed window and all that old furniture & paintwork :rolleyes:

So, we've gotta get the paint now (choosing coloUr is totally my domain).....but listen to this...what'cha think???????

.....chocalate brown on the bottom of the walls then a dado rail (crisp white) then a lime green coloUr for the top part of the walls.......skirting boards base boards, dado, coving & ceiling in white :unsure:

Oh dear gaaawd......it's frazzled ME BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wacko:

....and OMG!!!!!!....I have to go BACK (scared... :unsure: ...hold me...) as the blind is the WRONG bloomin' size :angry: (Tel refused to EVER go back )

Got one of those boomerang kids.

Whaaaat!!?????? :o ...............they come back??????? :unsure:

Ghan-nitt ....*snigger*....what's a bit o' dog poo & wee amongst friends neighboUrs????? ;)

Amanda!!!!!!!!.........GADS!!!!!!!.....scary storm!!!!!!!!......glad you're both safe! :)

Aww Alex....so glad the figurine was gladly received :D

Hey! Patti, they're looking at you funny because that is TEL'S job, remember?

*chortle* :conservingLOLemoticon:

OK, finals of the Euro 2008 cup starting in a mo (phootball)

Nikki!! IKEA HAS GLUTEN-FREE FOOD??! Gad, this makes up for the hellacious layout of the stores, the ridiculous, forgettable, BJORGN and VOKKGS design names.....I have refused to play the rat-in-maze shopping experience that is Ikea ever again, but if they gots gluten-free TARTS......!!

Like yer lime green/choc. brown with mouldings. This sounds quite properly masculine......

Ah, IKEA.

They intentionally design their stores as one long aisle so you absolutely must walk past every single @#%@$%@# thing in the entire store. Every single time.

And, when you finally get to the end of the labyrinth, you learn that "ikea" is a Swedish word which means "out of stock." :angry:

I haven't been inside in years, but we drive past the North York store several times a week. It is right next the 401 highway, which is one of our commute routes.

Amanda, what a phrightening experience. I'm glad to hear you are both fine.

Who uses lemon zest, or any other citrus zest? (And does the culinary noun predate the adjective zesty?)

Nyet. Nobody that I'm leaving behind has the balls to do ANYTHING irrationally......

Bah!

So Em, you're going entirely to previously-unvisited places?? :unsure: NYC, Silladelphia .....elsewhere?

I've never been to either. The northeast is a HUGE hole in my map of states visited.

I think that should be up to the person who's house you're living in ;)

:lol:

<BAM!> good call Jess!

"To Carla" has already been coined, but I guess it can have two meanings as the first never seems to be used around here .... any of you remember the 1/4 of a donut? Well, "to Carla" is to eat something in moderation ...

MODERATION!!? That's an understatement if I've ever heard one. Limiting oneself to a small portion like that and putting it away for a week is madness!!

The rest of the donut is RIGHT THERE!! It's not like another bite would require opening a new package or getting another whatever from wherever.

NOOOOOOOOObody can Carla like Carla!! :D

Have an awesome Miami time!!! <anyone do gluten-free conch fritters?> :huh:

Alex - well done w/ the gift. ;) Such a sweet story. :)

Amanda - lighthouse trip sounds cool but wow what a storm!

GAH!! :o IKEA!! :ph34r: (went once & I'm not goin' back!!) <and you can't make me!> :P

My money's on Germany (the motherland :lol:...German roots yer know ;) )

I hope it's not much money.

I'm kinda watching, but of course missed the sole goal. (Yay for instant replay!)

my sillies,

How dearly I love you and wanted to report this news to you. I just posted the very tragic news of the plane crash that took my boyfriend's brother and SIL's lives. :( (Craig and Michelle.)

I wanted you all to know, and those who pray, we really, really need prayers for peace, comfort, and no small amount of grace during this time.

Heading up in a few minutes to drive David to be with his family.........don't know when I'll be back.

Sad face doesn't remotely convey what this is like.

:(

Love you all.........I may be back tomorrow, it may be a few days, don't know.

Don't use citrus zest, but I'm fairly certain that the word does predate the adjective "zesty"....most adjectives develop from their mother-nouns...... B)

I've never been to either. The northeast is a HUGE hole in my map of states visited.

I wish we had time to keep going south, into Washington DC, then maybe swing east and get into Maine for a bit. Just not enough time.....we've only got ten days, and we've planned for six of them in NYC. You need AT LEAST that, I am certain, for this incredible city. :):)

Do you think I'll be mugged? :huh:<_<

I can look right ferocious, if need be. I'm not big.....but my voice can stop a train.

Think I'll be okay. <_<

Silvery ball looks too weird to me. :wacko:

Yes, me, too!

And Ptaoughmghmn, you are suddenly right, at least in my experience. 90 continuous minutes is a bit much for a field so big....(it was you, was it not, who claimed this? :huh: )...... .. ..

I was hoping for Spain. :)

I want to reply to some stuff later, but what a sad day in Sillyville today with the tragic news of David's brother and sister in law :(

This is precisely when it's most frustrating to all live so far away from each other--my impulse is to go and be with her and help in any way I can, and I just can't.

I feel close to you guys, no less so than a friend that I see in person. I feel just terrible.

Horrendous.

Brings back my little brother's plane crash death in '96 & I was close to sobbing a few min ago. :(

While it feels jackass-ian to tell David "I know what it's like", that's unfortunately true. :( :(

<tom keeps writing sentences then deleting them>

Tho very tempting, I think it'd be wrong to halt all general discourse, wouldn't it?

Don't use citrus zest, but I'm fairly certain that the word does predate the adjective "zesty"....most adjectives develop from their mother-nouns...... B)

That's why I specified culinary <gotcha poohbah!!>, guessing that the 'zest for life' type noun came first.

:( ok, maybe I was wrong . ...it doesn't yet feel right to banter on trivial bs w/ tragedy in our midst. :(

I just hope David can deal w/ it better than I did in '96.

      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.

      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.
