Hi Tom, you avatar is very colorful :D

That it is!!!!!

Chihuly is one amazing glassblower. The av is of dozens of pieces set on a false clear glass (of the functional non-artistic variety) ceiling.

Exhibits do a whole room this way w/ 100s of pieces. Very cool.

Hi Paula- Welcome- indeed, if you're looking for a place to silly- this is it. Except me-I'm very very very serious. :rolleyes:

Yes!!! This is most encouraging....some real good news and not me trying to inject some levity with stories of packing me arse in shorts or sumphin :lol:

OMGawd Em--you'd better git packin'! Do you realize we're actually gonna MEET in 9 DAYS????? :D

I am jealous of the Psilly Psummit!!!!! But am so happy and cannot wait to hear the stories and see the pics!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could come too but Philly is 6 hours away and I am headed 5 hours in the opposite direction (Vermont). Actually, I think I'll be closer to where Miss Emily and the Ripper live than where they're traveling to!

Bon Voyage, Vaya con Dios and Happy Trails!

Seeing them's one thing......Smelling them's quite another.... . . . . :lol:

Try telling that to guys who would rather wear their boxers inside out the second time than actually do a load of laundry :lol: :lol: :ph34r:

.......hopefully blowing over to my daughter's former mother-in-law's house, with hideous, putrid fluids on my 5,000 post. B) .

Yes- I should certainly hope so!!!!!!!!!! 5000, wow! And nice to see you Goosey!!!!!!!

Signing over and out- hope everyone has a safe, happy 4th of July in the states and just a happy all-around day elsewhere- including the UK where they probably celebrate getting rid of us nutbags!!!!!!!! :P I'll be back on Monday.......

Oh, going to Lake Champlain with the family and shall promptly report any Champ sightings (he is the VT, NY equivalent of the Loch Ness Monster!!!!!!!! Could HE have kidnapped the yeti? I'll look for him too!))

And last but not least, Uncle Ray had to poop in too:

The Back Pew

A pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before the congregation and

asked for a raise. They passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.

After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's expanding salary. A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church, and how much more it could potentially cost.

After listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose from his chair and spoke, "Children are a gift from God, and we will take as many gifts as He gives us.

Oh no, Julieeeeeeee- say it isn't so!!! :( Is this something that's kinda been building, or is it a sudden reaction? Can you do sorghum flour?

I had a really great day today, you guys... actually felt better today than I have in weeks, since I started all this medication hullabaloo. I think stopping the Prozac was a smart move.

The weird thing, though, is I woke up with my right eye all swollen and the lid was red. I took some benedryl, and the swelling slowly went down through the day... I thought it was just a yucky bug bite, but now it looks like a rash. Then this afternoon I noticed that I have a rash on the tops of both feet, and coming about 1/2 up my shins. :huh: Now tonight, it looks like the same thing might be popping up on my forearms. :blink:

NOW what in hell is going on? <_< It's not bothering me if nothing touches it, but if I touch it, it's really itchy. So I'm trying not to touch it. :lol::rolleyes: It's tiny little red bumps... I reckon it must be some type of allergic reaction, I just can't think of what it might be. It looks like a heat rash, but it's not in the right places...

Ok, enough rambling about my rash. :lol: Where else can I go to a group of people and babble about MY RASH. :lol::rolleyes:

Susie, how are you doing. It has been more than a day since we heard from you.

Hi Sillies,

I received a heartfelt and of course so very sad email from our Susie this morning. She is dealing with more than just the loss of David's dear brother and the others. She feels our support and prayers and thoughts and has asked me to forward her email to all of you.

If you feel comfortable in doing so, you can PM me your email addreses and I will forward her email to you. She has also told me that I can give her email address to you, so if you want it, let me know--either way is fine.

It goes without saying that I'm beyond worried about her, at the same time, it's incredibly frustrating that she's clear across the country. I know you guys know how I feel.

Thanks, me Sillies :wub:

(wailing) Nooooooooooo! I'm itchy as hell! I don't know where this has come from. I'm taking Benedryl every 4 hours trying to get rid of it. I haven't eaten anything new, haven't changed soaps, detergents, or anything at all. Brian wondered if it's a withdrawal symptom from the Effexor, and not an allergic reaction. I said I dunno, I haven't read about this being a symptom... it acts like an allergic reaction, I just don't know to what!

I'm so worried about Susie. :( I want to give real hugs, not just typed ones. Guessing it must be about 11 out that way now..?

Well, it's almost 2:30 here, so the service must be well underway. I just can't imagine what those poor families and the folks who love them are going through.

We're all there, in spirit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sarah,

The timing of your itching and rash has me thinking about something. I wonder if it really is a withdrawl of sorts from the meds. This is not exactly the same thing, but during and after my surgery last year, I was pumped full of drugs from antibiotics to various painkillers.

Probably about a week later, and lasting for another 2-3 weeks, I broke out and was terribly itchy (at this point, I was on nothing stronger than OTC Tylenol). It was mostly in my midsection and back. I asked the surgeon about it at my 4 week appointment, and he said it sometimes happens as part of the healing process.

Maybe your system is trying to rid itself of what may be stored in your tissue. Just a thought. :)

Now that's interesting... sort of almost like a detoxing reaction. That could be it... At this point it makes the most sense- I haven't come into contact with anything new that I can think of, to be allergic to!

Edited to add-- One other "symptom" that isn't hurting my feelings too much-- my appetite has bottomed out. I think I've lost 4 or 5 pounds in the past week! :rolleyes: Also, the low-salt-bland-tasting-food isn't bothering me as much anymore. So Edna is happy. :lol:

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
