I think the Hobbit and LOTR are all one book, really, because it's all the same story, it's not even a series, it's just one big beautiful story. I think he just broke it up cuz you can't fit that many pages in one binding.

So, what? I have to come up with three more books now :blink:

I'll have to think on it.

Hey, I have a question to pose to you all, since I know so many are readers....if you could make a list of your top 5 must read books what would they be (and why, totally optional)?????

I like to read a lot, but just for amusement.......nothing profound or life-changing.

I've read some of the ones from Oprah's book club, but.....yawn <_<

However, there was one book that I thoroughly enjoyed and have read several times.....

Nobody Nowhere, by Donna Williams, It's an autobiography of an autistic woman.

Maybe it's just because I have worked with autisitc kids and it gave me a lot of insight into how their minds work.

Five???......sorry, no can do.

Weezee has knocked over the HUGE trash can outside a second time. I don't know how she does it, but now she's an expert, and there is no other place to put it.

she's eaten ALL the beans.

:ph34r::o:unsure:

also some leftover shredded cheese, and I don't even KNOW what else. Her little dingo head smells like garbage, am going to wash her face now.

I now have to put the lawnmower in front of the can, but I am sure she can still figure out a way to knock it over.

Am now considering having to drill bolts into the STUCKO wall and chain the can to it.

SHEESH. <_<

Yeah, I need another 70-pound dog like I need a hole in me 'ead. :lol:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Julie, have you read Cold Mountain? it's one of my favorite American novels, a great love story (the movie was just so-so) but......you either love it or hate it.......

I know you're reading Love in the Time of Cholera, that is a favorite.

I LOVED The Glass Castle......true story and couldn't put it down.

LOVED Angela's Ashes........should be required reading in American high schools, I think........

gotta go wash a dingo head now.

:huh:

so......I'm watching a movie and reading and stuff........and Weez walks over and sits next to me and just lets out a huge, pathetic whine......it's not the nasal, whistling whine.....but the harrumph-ing, moaning, really pitiful and dramatic/emergency kind that she uses for very important situations....(usually signifies boredom from having missed a day of orchard walking but - we had a HUGE walk today)

and I know exactly what it means......she has a miserable tummy-ache. :huh:

dear gawd! could be a long night.......

My favorite American novel is Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. I've read it many times. An unbelievable work. Julie, if you've never read it, it is truly rewarding!

Em - I read Grapes of Wrath a few years ago..........I am living in the very same Valley where most of the Dust Bowl Oakies settled, in fact. Such a poignant novel but.......the ending..........OMG......and the sucking on the teat........it ruined the whole book for me. :huh::lol:

but I did LOVE East of Eden, as lived in Monterey also, and that took place in the Salinas Valley, right near Monterey.......

my dad was a HUGE Steinbeck fan, and I have all of his first edition books...... (ponder selling them all of the time :ph34r: )

I bungee cord mine shut to keep out the raccoons.

Um.......okay.........am going to have to post an av of me trash can.........no bungee-ing possible, methinks....... it's not those metal kind - it's a giant plastic thing......was pondering duct tape but - Weezee with her little raccoon hands and devil teef can surely undo this......

Am watching Jimmy Kimmel's pre Emmy special and he had Michael Phelps on as his first guest. He said the info about his diet going around out there is WRONG :huh: . He doesn't eat that much at all he said, not 12,000 calories, not even 8,000- 10,000, but he did say he eats whenever he wants and whatever.

I still would love to have that luxury.....I can just think about food and put on a pound :huh::lol:

Thanks for all the book suggestions, I added them to my list. I don't remember a thing I read in high school (all those required readings that everyone should read like The Odyssey :unsure: ) which bums me out (and long story, I think maybe undiagnosed learning disabilities, or maybe undiagnosed celiac brain fog :huh: )..... so I want to go back and read all of those top books like To Kill A Mockingbird, Grapes of Wrath, etc.

Susie, I actually loved the movie Cold Mountain (one of my favorites) so I'll add that book to my list.

Is anyone going to read the new Oprah book club selection, she just announced it Friday... The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, it's supposedly about a dog, or surrounding a dog?!

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

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @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...

      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.

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.

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.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      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.
