You've all collectively gotten together to drag me mind into the gutter. There is no other explanation. :angry:

Exactly!! Someone else is ALWAYS responsible. That's why people gather in groups, not for companionship, it's to be certain there's someone around to get you off the hook

:rolleyes:

Y'all are crackin' me up :lol:

Mygawd.....if we were gonna photo shop some other boobs, I think we would have gone for Elle MacPherson or Cindy Crawford...... :rolleyes:

Cindy's so much more about the whole sultry package than the boobs. ;)

Let's say Elle or Jessica Alba or Jennifer Aniston or Halle Berry or Brooke Burke or Heather Graham or Courtney Thorne-Smith or Jennifer Love Hewitt (wait . ..are those fake?) or Catherine Bell or old-school it w/ Adrienne Barbeau!!

(lol that took longer than it appears) :lol:

Dimwitted Elisabeth Hasselback? <beck? back?>

:lol: :lol:

<why am I posting this?> :lol:

Oh my gawd. :ph34r:

I've already abashed myself due to my choice of colloquialisms to describe altering a digital photo.

Among mainframe techies, to "massage" data means to manually manipulate it (as opposed to an existing automated process) to get it into the desired form. OMG, "manually manipulate" isn't any better when the topic is a picture of the sort we are discussing. What a boob I must be. :blink: I should have said that I would alter the characteristics of the photo to reduce the total file size. B):lol:

Well there you go---------I don't speak that language.........thus............my mind goes to the gutter :ph34r:

I should have said that I would alter the characteristics of the photo to reduce the total file size. B):lol:

Yes, but then we wouldn't have all this fun. :ph34r:

If you and Tom aren't on line this weekend.......we'll know where to find you.........in the sock isle at Walmarts. ;)

Got some good news today! My mom had a chest x-ray yesterday, and already got the results today-- it looked clear! This is amazing, because something like 95%+ of Sarcoidosis patients have lesions on the lungs. She's apparently one of that tiny percentage that doesn't.

She still needs to have her eyes checked out, and possibly an EKG... but this is a very positive, encouraging start! :D

tom Contributor

Great news Sarah!! :) :)

And hardy-har-har Judy :lol:

YAY!!

Finally one less thing for you to worry about. You've had more than your share recently. Send the next problem over to LisaGoosey's soon-to-be-ex daughter's mother-in-law.

Jestgar Rising Star

well, my roomie has officially been sworn in as a US citizen. I ran into him on the boat as he was returning from the ceremony so I got to watch the whole, slow, dawning of realization that his whole life had changed and he suddenly had options that he had never had before. It was kind of fun.

I took him out to Red Robins (learned unfortunate new things about what I can can't eat) and I haven't seen him since. I suspect last night his work buddies took him out, and now he's at work. He's probably bruised from being slapped on the back so many times (why do men hit to show pleasure?). Maybe this'll take his mind off the fact that everything he owns is covered in fur....

You'll be fine, especially if your bring your own salad. The worst part will be realizing how much the price of a movie has gone up in 10 years :P

Just get an aisle seat, so you don't feel restrained.

Liver looks clear and not fatty (which is more than I can say fer the rest of me :lol: )--no gallstones, just a harmless-looking polyp. The technician was so nice and said that there was nothing there that would cause elevated enzymes :blink: Radiologist will see it on Monday.

I maintain it was the weeks of constant low level glutening. Who knows?

Em--what did you decide to do to hoist the girls fer the wedding? :P

Jess--good news about yer room mate :)

Did ya'll notice that Pataughmn, quiet as of late, snapped back into action with the talk of boobalicious women last night? :lol:

PeOter--I had a feeling that "massage" had some kind of technical meaning as well--but as I said, "megapixel" is about as technical as I get. Too phunny, though! :lol:

It's going up to 96 today :o

Uncle Ray has gone blooming mad:

The Suits

A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit.

The female blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing.

The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the Blonde mortician a blank check and says, 'I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.'

The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fits him perfectly.

She says to the mortician, 'Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I' m very grateful. How much did you spend?' To her astonishment, the blonde mortician presents her with the blank check.

'There's no charge,' she says.

'No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!' she says.

'Honestly, ma'am,' the blonde says, 'it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice.'

'So I just switched the heads.'

(BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMIN!!!)

      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
