Morning Sillies

Another Monday another work week....it is rough for me I had a few days off....but alas here I am again. Our cat has been acting strange since we got home Saturday night...so we might end up taking him to the vet. Last night I woke up at 3:30 in the morning and he was curled up in a ball sleeping in between my legs, I am a side sleeper. I knew he had been there since 1...and when I moved positions he just moved with me. I woke up though since he made me too warm since I sleep with a blanket on...John loves to crank the central air!

So its off to start some work now.

Bye Sillies!

:unsure::blink::huh: Sounds like another thread is invading Sillyville again!! :lol:

Yeah--it's safe here....and I just had to say it :lol:

What thread is this? I wanna see!

Their pilot flew a huge craft in the shape of a NYC yellow cab about 100 metres above the Ottawa River before it crashed into the drink. Second prize went to a flying lighthouse

Into the drink! :lol: My mom says that, such a great phrase.

Johnsmom's cracking me up! I, unlike Em, do constantly inspect what comes out of my nose (as well as my children's noses.) I think it comes from having chronic sinus infections. There's a whole color code, you know.

Clear/white is always ok.

Yellow usually means I've been dusting a lot.

Brown is evidence that I've been helping my dad in the woodworking shop.

Mellow green means a sinus infection has arrived.

Neon green means the pine pollen is high.

:D

I must admit, although I liked both of them very much, I was slightly leaning towards Matt. I think because I thought he was a little more at ease on camera.

We enjoyed the show, though--what did you think of it?

Did you watch the Designer's Challenge (?) right after?

I remember those days, I was working at the time and the bathroom was not only in the back of the lab but I could not leave my area unattended....I called off alot that spring/summer. It was another year and I got my job here. Besides that day in March and last Weds....those were my 2 call-offs in 2008. What a few years can do. I almost feel like myself again....I missed me!!!!!

Fathers and phunny clothing......

How many of you have lived with the abomination of white socks with oxfords? Mygawd, the absolute bane of my mother's existence, and something she stopped my father from doing well before I was born. But I have heard about it constantly thoughout my life, during the many times we would happen by a man wearing this dreaded combination, often with dark pants (the crowning heinosity)

Well at least he hasn't worn sandals with socks....... :unsure: ....has he????

Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. I have a little whispering voice right now, barely able to speak. Thank you SO MUCH for this, Jess. Your perfect, wise words will be passed along to Jack as I will show them to him. This is fitting for your poignant message of passing along life's great things.

Dad is a tremendous gift, simply with old, tattered wrapping. 'Tis so true. :)

GADS!! Jess is going to HAVE to put a warning on these heartfelt, emotionally charged word bloody perfect posts!!!!!!

I liked them both too! There were alot of really nice likeable contestants this season I thought, the only one I didn't like was that one girl, see don't even remember her name :lol: I was actually kind of shocked Trish didn't make it to the final though.

I would have been happy with whoever won last night.

I missed Designer's Challenge because I watch Army Wives at that time, but I am sure they will reair it sometime and I'll try to catch it then, it looked interesting.

Tom, I just read the article. That sounds really neat what they are doing to honor your brother. Are you going to be able to go to the dedication ceremony?

Oy .. ..now they don't know when the rockcutter will finish turning that boulder into a bench. Seems like no chance of holding to the original Aug8 scheduled dedication.

If I were back to work already, I think I'd be going up, but at this point it feels fiscally irresponsible. :(

Just finally started all the supps yesterday :) - couldn't wait any longer for possible adverse effects from the milk in the one. Seems ok, so off we go.

I might have to get back into the OMG thread. ;)

      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.

      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...

      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 +

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.

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.

      By catnapt · Posted

      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
