Our 2 year old dropped the kids off at the "ocean" the other day.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

and eeewwwww

Oddly enough M, I would imagine you'd need stronger flavors, such as shallots and cranberry feta to balance what I suspect would be an, um, intense flavor from the glandes annalles.

Perhaps you have already sampled these....................?

OK . . . I have done read . . . but I'm not gonna quote much except . . .

When the forum goes out next time - add me to the silly email list for updates!!!

Yes . . . meeeeee, too!!! Some of you have my email!! Use it!!

BTW, if certain mods do have other powers, would someone clue me in ;)

Can't you guys fly and leap buildings and stuff . . . when you're wearing your capes and masks??

Patti, you of all people ought to know how to scare a bee. You yelll... BOOBEE!!! :P

(I learned that from my children when they were very young and some really, really immature adults that I know) <_<

Is LisaGoosey referring to us??

OK . . . a couple of things to try and remember . . .

Tom - glad you're feeling better . . . even by taking steps in the right direction, eh? Ouch on the jars of stuff.

Amanda - WooHoo on the cash!!! . . . can Tom borrow a few bucks?

Nickerler - I had turkey on vacation, toooooo!!! . . . Oh, different turkey . . . glad WB (Wee Boris) is feeling a bit better . . . Ooooooo house cleaners (Now that's what I would say in a Homer Simpson voice!!)

Patti - I always found the baking soda thing helped while it was on but always started itching again as soon as I took it off.

Em - Play Nice!!

A big Halloooooo to everyone else and a Welcome to Anna and a nice poop-in from Paula.

Wow Alex--thank you! I'll try the baking soda :D It still itches, so it can't hurt and might help!

How have you been? Haven't seen you around these parts in a while.

I hope the baking soda helped. If not we may have a bone to pick with St. John's Ambulance (does St. John's Ambulance even exist in the States? -- I'm thinking it might be a commonwealth thing.)

I've been spending some time away from the forum to keep myself from posting what I really want to post to some of the non-Sillyville members. I think some of the things that I really want to post would be rude enough to get me banned. The antiestablishment sentiments of some people and the whinny "poor me" complaints of others just get me so angry. It's difficult because I want to think of myself as a nice person and typing expletives and such to these people would be a little incongruent with that. But I also want to think of myself as someone who stands up for what I think is right so not responding to these posts is frustrating. I don't know how to stand up for what I think is right without it becoming ugly and combative. I guess I just need to work on being compassionate and understanding why people are the way they are. Sigh . . . being a grown up is hard!

And I've been spending quite a bit of time with Colin. I think he was glutened a little while ago because I had some distressed middle of the night phone calls from him and when I went over to keep him company he looked ill and was vomiting. He's doing better now. And he's "seeing someone" -- a very nice girl he met through someone at his work! I really hope it works out. Colin is a kind, intelligent, gentle guy and I think he would make a great husband and father.

Would it by any chance be a campfire-type song that I could introduce to the cubs scouts? Need a new one for the fall session. You know, a joining-in kind of tune with rounds that repeat, and shouting, etc.? :o:lol:

Speaking about campfire songs, is Jack leaving for his overnight camp soon? He must be getting excited! Hopefully you're not getting too nervous! I'm sure the house will feel empty with out him but I bet he'll have a bunch of great stories to tell when he gets back.

OMG.......perhaps. :unsure:

Would we classify it under organ meat? We do not normally eat any glands....pancreatic meat, thyroid steaks, pituitary roast (whoa....that'd be one small cut)...... :lol:

Janet's back! :)

Tell us truthfully, now....how much laundry do you have? Please do NOT iron a thing..... :huh::rolleyes:

Too hard for me....I gave up some time ago...... <_<

Speaking about campfire songs, is Jack leaving for his overnight camp soon? He must be getting excited! Hopefully you're not getting too nervous! I'm sure the house will feel empty with out him but I bet he'll have a bunch of great stories to tell when he gets back.

Thanks for remembering this, Alex! :) Jack leaves on August 10th, and is back the 16th. I know I will miss him terribly. He will not miss any of us a whit, I'm certain... :rolleyes:

I must say, I don't do a lot of other thread-reading, but when I do there is invariably someone posting who causes me to eye-roll and shake my head. Perhaps that is why I don't do much reading anymore. T'was different, I think, a couple of years ago......

Hope Colin recovers quickly from this glutening! We can all sure relate to this....no phun!

Honestly . . . not much . . . twas a beach trip and spent the majority of the time in swimsuits. We also had a washer/dryer at our disposal, so we kept up with towels/shorts/t-shirts. I do no ironing. If my hubby wants a shirt ironed, he must do it himself (has learned it's not worth the huffing and puffing and eye-rolling from me). Since most of the clothes we brought home are clean, they are now all rumpled from the suitcase. I'm currently wearing a pair of shorts and t-shirt that looks like I slept in them.

I took my gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. The other mom (did I tell you we went with another family?) took her chocolate chip cookies which usually gets her lots of compliments from other people. Of course me daughter couldn't eat hers. My son tried one and then wouldn't eat any more . . . he would only eat mine . . . :selfsatisfiedsmuglook:

Hi Alex!

Yes, We've got 'em!! :D

Sorry to hear Colin's not been well.....but encouraging news on the girlfriend front!!

OMG.......perhaps. :unsure:

Hey guys . . . remember me??

HEY!! THEeeeeeeeere she is . ..Miss (almost-a-)Hurricane '08!

Was Cristobal by Fripp?

For those who read my threads related to food disasters and bathroom nightmares, you already knew that I have a sense of humor.

Dang! I missed those! <_<

Come to think of it, you can get a nice visual by looking at my avatar.

GAH!! Well, Anna, until reading this, I was thinking only "hey, what a cute kid".

Now I'm altering my perception of the excretory event by imagining a Baby Ruth wrapper out of frame, in his(? her?) left hand.

<Caddyshack reference anyone?>

(Halloween Fun-size wrapper!)

Would it by any chance be a campfire-type song that I could introduce to the cubs scouts? Need a new one for the fall session. You know, a joining-in kind of tune with rounds that repeat, and shouting, etc.? :o:lol:

Haven't even taken anything from the ND yet, save the multi-multi-everything vitamin+ which has 2 ingred I'd *never* otherwise ingest. Soybean oil & milk - no idea actually whether pure soybean oil alone does what soy (protein I assume) does, but wth do I need to buy WITH the oil that I can't find w/out it??

She's insisting that at those qtys they won't affect me so 'we' try that alone 1st and once I start "living in 3rd person" I get my money back. ;)

Woke extra early today so I might finally go check out the Japantown Farmer's Market less than a mile away. It ends at noon and I'm not often up for heading out by then. :)

Also, there's an alleged Japanese grocery store there but I found it in YahooYellowPages & they list tiny corner stores & 7-11s in that category.

I hope it's big & has sushi-quality fish & immigrant-priced gluten-free noodles/flours. :o (doesn't sound very pc dothn't it?)

To the tune of "Frere Jacques":

Gawd!! :lol: This just MUST be our official song--I think it catches the essence of us Sillies poifectly!!! :D

Well, I have (yet) another phluid onslaught to report......(what IS it with us and said phluids.....)

Mark and I ran to Lowes, planning to be gone maybe an hour or so. When we left the house, I grabbed me sunglasses as it was sunny :huh:B)

We get there, and it begins to rain.....we get out of there asap and head home (about a half hour drive), only to hear on the radio that strong thunderstorms with wind and hail are heading straight for our county.....as we are driving, it hits--lightening, hail, wind, thunder--you name it. It looks like 9 o'clock at night :o

Here's the stupid part <_< .....we left all of the upstairs windows open :ph34r: It wasn't pretty--my son's bed, for instance, soaked--pillows, comforter--everything. Carpets, furniture.....we've been blotting up everything we can with every towel in the house. I haven't watched TV all weekend--didn't know it was coming.....it was freakin SUNNY when we left the house.

Right now, I'm running the laundry, ceiling fans and the dehumidifier......what a great Sunday THIS turned out to be :angry:

Ya'll made me laugh, though. So much I want to comment on--

Alex, I understand. Em is right, it wasn't like this a couple years ago. Lots of times, I begin to respond to something and then think--it's not even worth it. <_<

I am so happy to hear of Colin's girl! :D I'm excited for him!! Sorry 'bout the glutening, though.....

Welcome back, Gian-knit!!! :D Way to go on the cookies!! And, for the love of Gawd, do not iron ;)

Wee Boris--eating and pooping again!! :D Yea!!

Pataughmn--Good luck with the supps :)

Hi to all--I gotta get back to work. Be back later :rolleyes:

Patti-sorry to hear about all the work that storm caused you on a Sunday....want to hear something weird...I fell asleep on the couch late last night watching a movie and in the dream I had we were outside and it began raining....raining hard and you couldnt see anything....you could feel the wind on the rain.....whcih to me felt so real....which turned out to be the ceiling fan above me....but anyway at the end of the dream I could her my dads voice yelling, hurry close the windows, the rains coming in and flooding our house...too much rain too quick! Hurry.....Just thought you might find that interesting.....

At my parents house we always keep the windows open as they do not have central air and have a nice breeze through the house.....

Off to the grocery store....John and I need to grab food. We spent the day putting Landen's crib together. He is getting much to big for a pack n play and I think those are awfully uncomfortable. So we borrowed a spare crib from my mom.

Bye Sillies

Hi all

Love the funnies.....Thanks :lol:

Alex, sorry about Colin....not all funny reports...sorry

Patti, we were watching for the weather and kept putting warings up for NJ and NO alerts for Del county......and it is BLACK OUT

We had the worst storm we've had in years here.

Same as you got with the hail.

sorry for the wet mess.

Has Matt gotten home yet?

Amanda......guess you didn't get the storm?

Judy--

Thanks--do you guys still have power?

Actually, we're about all cleaned up except for the laundry which will go into tomorrow, I'm sure, cause I'm about pooped!

Matt should be home any minute--with me laptop!! :D

The previous owners put all new carpeting on the second floor and it must be a stain resistant kind or sumphin' because although it was wet from 2 inches of rain blowing in, it was all on top--not saturated all through so we just had to blot it all up. It took tons of towels, but it's pretty much dry already. :)

I've never seen anything like it. Good for phluid onslaughts, lemme tell ya ;):P Although I will NEVER leave the house again with the windows open B):rolleyes:

Amanda--your dream was too wild! You musta been subconsiously thinkin about phluids, too :lol:

Well, just got back from an engagement party (yes, this is the new thing......couples have a party about a year before their wedding (?), it's called an "engagement" party, and it's a potluck....I don't remember anyone having anything like this twenty years ago....)

Anyway, it's my middle nephew getting married next August. This party was an hour away, out in the upeer ottawa Valley, in Braeside (Open Original Shared Link). Beautiful farming country.

Anyways, there must have been about eighty people there, and I knew perhaps a sixth of them. This is always good.... .. . they had "Hello, I'm _________" stickers for us to fill in when we first got there, with a brief description of our relationship to the bride or groom. I love these stick 'ems, as I always put a spectacular, completely false name. So, this time I wrote Euphemia, and underneath, "from the underpass" .......

OMG.....I had only a very few people join in the humour of this, all of whom my close relatives - - mother, husband, sister. My kids were too embarrassed to even stand near me, and the others would stand in clumps and stare. "Gawd, is she REALLY from the highway underpass? Man, I've seen her scrunched up under there with her blanket and booze...someone should ask her to leave"......

But no one did. :lol:

I got a question for all ye canucks out there . . . I'm in charge of planning the 2009 vacation (this will be the eighth year with the same family). We are looking at some other locations besides South Carolina (Sorry, Sarah, might not be coming through next summer like I thought). What do you guys got up there that might be worth visiting? Some requirements . . . swimming pool and kid activities and a four bedroom rental house (and if you ask my husband, a beach). . . Oh, and we're driving so don't be sending me to the Yukon.

Emily-I had heard of engagement parties when we were planning our wedding but it was not anything either of us were interested in.....I think it is more of a proper thing now.....a lot of people I know who are planning and paying for their own weddings opted not to have them.

Patti we lost power for about a second ...cable only but came right back on. computers were all off.

Glad the towels got it all up.

Wonder if Matt came through any of it.

HA you'll be doing laundry tomorrow till the cows come home...........and for all you city folks.........it's about dinner time :lol:

OMG Emily.........""So, this time I wrote Euphemia, and underneath, "from the underpass" ......."" only you could do that and get away with it.

Janet.....don't know anything about S carolina.....sorry but like the beach idea

Amanda......yet i think these are NEW ideas.......we sure didn't do that.

well at least it's cooler tonight.! Never did get to sit on the deck. It's all dirty again from the storm :ph34r:

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @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.

      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.

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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      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.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      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
