Ah, sometimes it is a challenge to be a guy here in sillyville. :rolleyes:

Oh, well, I think I will stick around anyway. ;)

I'm sorry Peter....

So My sister said the word Yeti tonight on the phone.

I also have an unexpected visitor tonight. Landen is sleeping at my house, he arrived at 10. So his cousin was supposed to watch him this evening....the same girl who needed the preggy test earilier. Well Jen went to work, John and I went to WEggies. We got home and I noticed Becky's boyfriends car was here, and it was not even after Landen's bedtime. John and I went in to make dinner. A little while later Jen texted me and asked me if I seen Becky at all since she could not get in touch with her by phone or anything. I said no but said look her guy friend is here but I wasnt saying anything. Jen was pretty mad, she had told Beck no boys in the house. So at 10 Jen took a leave from work to come home for a bit since here it was 10 and she still couldnt get in touch with Beck. She was worried about her baby....So Jen arrives to find Becky and this guy drunk, Landen in bed but never even changed so she had been in touch with me on her way home and asked if we had plans, I did say yes since John and I were going out tonight, but when she explained what all was going on. SO Jen brought Landen up here and laid him right in the crib. it was not until she was coming up my stairs did she figure out Landen had a wet diaper on and he had no clothes on. She brought his blanket and binkie but we didnt change him since it would wake him up and that would cause problems. Jen kicked Becky out of the house. Jen came back with Landens diaper bag and she was crying. She was worried she ruined our evening and what would she have done if we werent home....I just told her Landens ok now, not to worry about our plans, we have many nights. Its more important that he is safe. So I calmed Jen down and she went to work....more later Landen hasnt woke up yet, we turned down the AC tonight so he is comfy. I am going to give him a bath in the morning.

I used to work in daycares so I love children the preschool job sounds fun!!!!

Good Morning, Sillies!!

Well, I'm sure Landen had a good night's sleep, all changed and comfy in your crib, Amanda. Jen is SO lucky to have you!

Got a question fer y'all.........does anyone have experience with hot tubs? We are seriously considering the purchase of one, and the main reason would be for our sore, tight, overworked muscles (DH works out as much, if not more, than I). None of the athletic people we know have been in a hot tub enough to say whether or not it really helps. My RMT girlfriend tells me it often works wonders. It makes sense, pounding jets of water working over your muscles. .. . ..I just dunno. Think I'll start a new thread on it.

May do nuttin' fer me muscles, but our social lives may explode........ :rolleyes:

Em--We had a hot tub at our former house. We ended up giving it to our son when we moved last year because it was on the deck and here we don't have a deck (we have a back/side porch) and have no plans for one.

I think you and W would find it very helpful for your sore muscles. You can position the jets to take full advantage of them and there's nothin like sitting in the hot, bubbling water when it's cold (or even snowing) out side. I think you'd love it! The kids, too.

Get one big enough for 6, though because you're right about your social life :P ......put in a hot tub, and they will come...... :lol:

As patti would say....True dat!!!

Got me bag ready (swimming cozzy, towel, bottle of bubbly ;) )

UGH!!!...my computer probs ain't over...well not my probs, but me son's pc is being very naughty :angry:

I HATE computers!!!!

It's like a winter's day here - rainy, blowy, barely reaching 60 degrees F ...AND I got a parking fine (phine) today :angry:

Patti said gluten palooza :lol:

Julie!!!....you traitor!!!

Hee!

FACEBOOK! Julie, isn't it great? We've got a Psilly friendship circle started! :);)

YES! All Sillies not there should report to Facebook stat! We could take over with wacklness and mispelled words :lol:

You know I was in a silly mood yesterday and I felt like writing in the "religion" and "political views" section something like....the religion of LOVE, or power to the people political party, but I didn't :lol:

Nothing says party like a hot tub :lol: Sounds like phun!

Kids have a habit of sitting in chairs on their knees, thus they are usually leaning over the table or desk. So if they are told to sit on their (BACK ) pockets, it's nicer than telling them to sit on their butts.

Lisa! I love the sit on your pockets thing, it's very cute. Going to use that with my 3 yr old niece :)

Bunnie Bobbit? Nobody tell my boyfriend...... :ph34r:

:lol:

Sorry Peter!!! There is an overflow of estrogen in Sillyville, we need some more testosterone to balance it out :lol:

I also have an unexpected visitor tonight. Landen is sleeping at my house,

Omgosh Amanda, I am so glad you and John were home last night to take Landon.

Thanks for this info, Patti..........I only wish you could test-drive one for three or four post-workouts.... . . . :rolleyes:

Got me bag ready (swimming cozzy, towel, bottle of bubbly ;) )

Yes!! Nikki's heading over! Do you currently have any huge, festering blisters on yer feet? I think the bromide in the water and the "gentle jet" setting is phab for such heinosities.

And superb for post-surgery trauma! Uterusless Jess and New-knee Janet, there'll be spots fer you and you can direct the jets where they're needed.....Soooooozie must sit and have the jets firing onto her gimpy back...... . .. Bev! you can blast yer PICC area........Patti - - yer enzymes could be targeted (but I think they're perfect now, correct?).

Okay, what can we fix in my tub for PeOter, Amanda, Lisa, Julie, Judy, Ptaoughmghmn, Ryan....who am I missing??.......Bunnie and Laura........

Mygawd.... ... that's it. I need a fifteen-seater.......... :wacko:

Hi Sillies-

Well Landen did sleep through the night. Jen is making Becky leave for good. Its a good thing, since they do not need that extra stress in their lives either. Landen was a bit confused waking up in a different place but he took it in stride and was happy to see us.

Jen is not going in to work tonight she called off, saying the whole Becky drama has made her stomach upset and she just feels she needs a night to herself. I cannot agree more. Becky has caused a lot of drama this summer and Jen was stuck in the middle since it is her relative.

John and I had taken a few weeks to ourselves and didnt watch Landen as much since August 1st, we would pick up an evening here and there. We will go back on a full schedule now though and since he is sleeping so much better since he is in a crib in our house that totally works.

So Landen will return tomorrow evening and once again next weekend. Jen will start moving on Oct. 1st. My mom is going to keep Landen overnight while we help Jen move. So between us looking to move, her actually moving the next few months are busy busy busy!

You'd think so such is the ferocity of the phine :lol: .....but NO, I caused no obstruction - I merey parked outside my local petrol garage to nip in the shop attached (Buy 1 pack of chicken breasts get 1 free!)

Dearest chicken breasts I've eaten in a while :lol:

Sorry about your trip Laura, but it is rather crappy around here. You made a good choice. You'll just have to make the next trip EXTRA special.

I have a yard full of debre to drag to the street. Annie took some pictures of home and the beach and I try to post them when she gets back from the beach with her camera... (translation, I will have her post the pictures and I'll watch her do it.). It's really interesting how impressive "just" a tropical storm can be.

We are having wind and heavy rain here. Its pretty gloomy. I took a nap this morning for 2 hrs....I never do that but it was the perfect day for it and it was so relaxing, the rain was pounding the window and you know I am getting sleepy just thinking about it :P

Mygawd! We're gettin' some Hanna up here, as well..... . . rainin' BUCKETS.

It's not raining men. This is fortunate, as men can cause extensive roof and structural damage, and house insurance does not cover property destruction from projectile homo sapiens......

:lol::rolleyes:

      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
