MIL is due to arrive tomorrow morning. I am frantically trying to clean the house and make it look like "yes, this is how I always maintain my home". I'm pretty sure I don't have enough time for that :P

Don't you hate having to put on an appearance for people!

I think "Post Icons" are back!!!!!!!

(Testing w/ greenguy, tho not feeling sick in the least . .. ...he just doesn't get out much ;) )

What's going on over there? Is she still mopping up rainwater? I wonder if a ballcock would help with this job.... . . . <_<:rolleyes:

PuhLEEZE!!! Try naming a job a ballcock wouldnt help with!!

:lol::lol::lol: :funnypictureinmyhead:

I could make up any outrageous thing I want to, and all these sillies would be dutifully doing bizarre gestures while sitting in front of their computers......such POWER! :D .........what a headrush!!!!!!!!!

Excellent play-by-play of signed words, Lisa! I must go out and find a deaf person, and practise these words (perhaps test them, as it's true, Lisa could be tricking us... .. that last one with the hand spreading out behind our bums could in fact mean "kiss my arse, honey!").....

BTW.......I unpacked my book of Signs of Sexual Behavior .and it says Va-jay-jay should be signed pointing down so as not to confuse it with *triangle*...............yeah, cuz I always confuse mine with a triangle :unsure:

Oh, gawd, yes, I HATE when that happens......Many an embarrassing geometry class in high school.... ..me looking at the test paper, not certain which was being depicted..... . .

And gawd, I HATED to ask........ . .. :lol:

I'm here, whatever that means. No rain expected today, low humidity, mid-twenties Celsius. I'm stuck in the store until sometime after seven this evening.

Hi, PeOter! These are the days where you and/or Jacquie are in the store ALL DAY, every day......how are you guys holding up?

<---- Look at Em's Belly!!!!

:lol::lol::lol:

Need to do more oblique work........

I'm pooping in and out . . . MIL is due to arrive tomorrow morning. I am frantically trying to clean the house and make it look like "yes, this is how I always maintain my home". I'm pretty sure I don't have enough time for that :P

Oh, dear gawwwwwd.....Janet, I've done my long MIL shift, and I've passed the baton to you. How long is she staying? Does she go through you medicine cabinets? Purposefully rearrange everything in you kitchen drawers, explaining while clicking her tongue and shaking her head, "Things are really much more efficient this way"....., constantly ask disapprovingly why the children aren't in church, voice great concern over the choice of dog food you purchase, clothes detergent you buy, lack of time spent defrosting the freezer ("the ice in there is just awful!")............

Gaaaaahhh!.....Someone stop me! <_<:lol:

OH HELP MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Skaught's changed it all again .......and I fear change :unsure::lol:

SOOZLE poop in :wub: ( :angry: on Jenn moving)

ANAL SLING?????? :blink:

Is that what yer need when yer bum's SO big it's dragging on the phloor??? :unsure:

<In that case *I* need one :angry: >

Good summon Em .. ... (I'm not touchin' that 3x line :ph34r: )

<ptaum forms an L and taps thumb to chin>

:lol: Ptaughmus!!!!!!!!!

Lisa, can you explain to me how I can unfurl the garden hose when I pull it out to water the plants and NOT have it all tangle up, so that I don't have to walk all the way back over and UNtangle it? <_<

Indeed an international problem!!......it seems to have a life of it's own :huh:

........and, UnFurl sounds much better than unCurl doesn't it???

Sign for the day: FART

Make a fist with thumb alongside index finger ( not placed in front of fingers like you normally would) This is the letter A, so we will refer to this as the A hand. Bring your A hand around back, with thumb pointing at ......well...you know. Then open hand spreading out fingers to the #5......Hey...this could come in handy.......we already know what #1 and #2 are.....now we have a #5!!! By the way....... in ASL, facial expressions are important. So when you open your hand, blow air out of your mouth by going *Puh*

OMG LIsa!!!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

I'm totally loving your self explanatory signs!!!!!!!!

....but WAIT!!..........there is someone who I can try these out on!!!

......one of the evil pheral pharkwits is deaf (remember them???, the gang of teens causing trouble in my street)

...will he understand me???....Is ASL different to BSL (that's British Sign language :rolleyes: NOT the other words that BS are associated with :lol: )

Maybe Lisa could teach me

''Kindly bog off to yer own street'' :unsure: (maybe with more profanities ? ;) )

I prefer this format. It makes more sense when you type

A brave attempt by Jan to fool us into believing SHE AIN'T AFEARED!!!

Yeah , we're proud of our boy. It took him years to find a professor who had an opening AND had the funding to take take him. He will be doing research on weasels, spotted skunks, some kind of bat, and badgers.

did somebody say Weasel? Got one here...... :lol: Good news about your son, Lisa. Love yer signing instructions, BTW. :)

triple post? what? :unsure: the computer was being DASTARDLY last night.....it would not post but....I don't see three..........

Hmmmmm....yes, the illiterate individuals..... . . . .could provide an illustration, or I could now use American Sign Language. Only thing is, I only know "penis", "vagina", "lesbian" and "helicopter". Well, I could just start up a line of conversation where I only need to use those words. Not a problem.

I'm sure you can work it out

...Wonder how our Susie is managing.............. :(

today is.......I dunno know why........not the best day.

I feel............stuck!

........and, UnFurl sounds much better than unCurl doesn't it???

It does. I question its use here, however, but decided to go ahead wif it, as it is a word that comes trippingly off the tongue. Flags unfurl, old documents unfurl, hair can unfurl from a clip or elastic....but a hose? Not sure. Unwind, yes.....

This is the kind of menial thing, unfortunately, that stays in my head and bothers me..... :huh::lol:

Pythagorus' wife conTINually accused him of a porn addiction.

Hmmmm... . .Well, she may have been a very integral part of mathematical history. I mean, Pythagorus could have been lying awake in bed one night, racked with formulae and calculations that weren't coming together...."Gads!" he may have muttered, turning over, sitting up..."I almost have it! If only I had a triangle at hand, I'm sure it would come to me presently".....and then, a sudden glance at his sleeping wife beside him - - and the rest is history..........

It's got sumphin' to do with that triangle sign, doesn't it. <_<

Worked on the weeds garden some more today, and my back is now scorched purple. And I've got a stink goin' on. Someone came on a little bit ago and revived the GlutenEase thread... but I'm just too tired. :rolleyes: I'm gonna go take a shower. :lol:

      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
