Ha! No problem on the updates :D

Yeah, about this magical power--I musta been behind the door when it was passed out! :P

I was hoping that Peter wouldn't reveal our magical powers. I actually posted that, but edited because there is always someone who jumps up your arsenal.

Moi? I don't tell tales out of school. Clearly, veggienft (see the Open Original Shared Link) believes we have far more power than we actually do.

Guys sorry for the delay in posting my organic answer....I am simply pooped from work and I just died on the couch when I got home....

Anyway the reason I asked about the Organic is another member posted in a different thread that It is stupid to not buy organic.....this member always rubs me the wrong way and I just wondered how many people do buy organic....

anyway off to bed night sillies and thanks for always letting me vent :)

There's 4 or 5 members who flat-out irritate the crap out of me. :P I generally do the Jess thing, and don't let myself reply. :rolleyes:

As for eating organic... yeah, like I said... I'm looking for ways to shrink my grocery bill, not inflate it. <_<

AGREED on the irritating people. I had a much longer post bemoaning my annoyance with so many non-Sillyville posts/posters lately but it was kind of crazily rambling and a little too angry I think so I quickly got rid of it.

I'm pretty much the same with everyone else here on the whole organic issue. I occasionally buy organic things but certainly don't go out of my way to do so. Saying that it is stupid to not buy all organic stinks of elitism and blurs what should be a clear line between personal opinion and scientific fact and those are two things that really get on my nerves.

Morning, Sillies!

Well, at 6:45 this morning, I hear loud clomping around and banging on my roof - - yep, the guys are back, there's presently NO rain falling, so off they go again. I quietly went over to my back hedge at 6:00 and interrupted Mr. Chow in full Early Sun Pose. I asked him if he knew any pose that would keep rain away....like the classic aboriginal rain dance. Nope. He GREETS rain, if you can imagine.......what in hell good is that? <_<:rolleyes:

Moi? I don't tell tales out of school. Clearly, veggienft (see the Open Original Shared Link) believes we have far more power than we actually do.

I dunno, PeOter.......there's something so..... . .calmly strong and all-encompassing about you mods.....Patti just RADIATED a silent power when we met. :DB) I really do need a couple of you in my day to day life, to delete regrettable said things, to issue warnings when they are clearly needed, and to report my kids to me when they are sneakily doing heinous things..... <_<:lol:

Glad to see you, Alex! How's married life? (If anything belongs on a Silly thread, it's that). How is Colin?

Organic food......crazy at times. Half the time one isn't positive the produce really IS organic...pesticides from the neighboUring, normal farm can blow over and "infect" the pristine organic crops......and fer all dat money. Organic bananas - - 99 cents a pound! :o

Morning Sillies!

Well I am glad it is not me who also has trouble with some people. I understand everyone is entitled to their own views and opinions but some people around here push their views and that is exactly how my MIL is with religion and such....it is very annoying, so annoying in fact that she lives 5 minutes down the road and I have not seen her since Memorial Day.

Its finally Friday!!!!!! And tonight we are going to the casino...cross your fingers that we win something....LOL! Guess it is time to start some work. Alot of people are out of the office today including the boss, so I may check in more frequently....when the cats away the mice will play!

I agree. It's really, seriously irritating.

Well said!!! I can't stand it when people state their personal opinion as fact. It seriously drives me up the wall. The arrogance... makes me want to barph.

Well, the boys had a friend sleep over last night-- my friend's son who I was telling you guys about. This was the first time they've had a friend sleep over. My boys slept over there one night last month. I have to say, last night wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. :P

They were all in sleeping bags watching movies by 10:30, and konked out by midnight. And they didn't get up at the butt crack of dawn, either. I consider myself lucky. :lol:

      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.

      @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?
