And may I remind you, Nikki, dear, that weeds are GREEN. There is really no need to be concerned about them; from a distance, they blend in.

Exactement. Some weeds are actually a lovely shade of emerald, harlequin or jade. I simply pretend that they are acceptable plants, placed intentionally. . . . . . .. <_<:rolleyes:

yes, you wouldn't believe the letters we get.......they want to remove about $180,000 worth of TREES now.........DON"T GET ME STARTED!!!!!!!!! :angry::( (we are all leaving them in and some have written letters)

Love her :wub:

...but wait :unsure: do Stepfords allow dogs on their lawns ??? :unsure:;)

My DD and I would noodle around together when she was in HS. We played a duet for my in-law's anniversary party about 10 or so years ago......DD was in MS. We also played in a quartet for my niece's wedding a few years ago.....that was awesome! And then we played a duet at my son's wedding a couple years ago and I totally blew one song.......too much stress and emotion......I should have never agreed to do it.

Sillies-- This house hunting thing is so un-phunny. We are just not having the luck finding anything....and we arent being too picky either.

My sister had a slight domestic accident this evening, she was sewing on her machine and the needle went through her finger. It was the heaviest gauge needle you could get....split off her nail and she was in the ER to get repairs....of course she had to send me the pics and they were gross!

Omg....ouch!! :( That does sound painphul. Hope she can get some sleep tonight.

Don't lose heart--sometimes it takes time to find the perfect house. It's a big decision, so try and be patient. You'll find it, though--I know it's out there :D Then all this time spent searching will have been well worth it.

It has been a while since I put my silly on and posted here. There have been some troubles in the business world that have diverted my attention. We are working more hours at the moment, but things are actually much better since we got rid of a problem employee on Tuesday. We're off tomorrow, the first day off in almost two weeks. I haven't read everything that I missed, so if I seem clueless about something, well, you know, I'm over fifty now. B)

Things sound better for ya, PeOter - - just as many hours for you, but less stressful, as you have a new, dependable person at the helm. :) So glad to hear this.. . . . .

Had A TERRIFIC evening at my friend's. She is ill, but in so many ways she is just like we were as teenagers. So positive, and happy.. ... . .. and here I was, complaining about my car that needs repairs and the fact that I can't fit the electrician in next week. . . .. ...

Puts things all into perspective, for certain.

I need to see her more often, to realize how incredibly lucky I am.

....How I dassent worry about the silly things that I do. <_<:)

I hear if you sneak up on them very quietly, you can grab 'em before they run away.

Thanks for the reminder. Easy to get caught up in things that, in the long run, are unimportant. Really, the only thing that matters is the people who touch our lives

WooooHOOOOO I'm the first post of the morning!!

I NEVER get to be the first one :D

Yesterday, when I went for my walk, I thought I'd walk a little farther so I went one more street section before turning downhill (ruralesque here, street sections are 1/2 mile).

As it turns out, the streets are named a bit inconsistently (old territorial roads) and I got lost. I ended up at this beautiful little cove and walked along the edge of the water. Roosters off in the distance. The trickle of water down the hill, finish its journey to the sea. The smallest slap of waves as the last of the ocean's power dissipated against the shore.

I'm gonna try to find it again this morning.

Ya beat me to the post, Jess! :D Good morning. . . . . I do hope you find that little heavenly place again this a.m. I WANNA LIVE ON THE OCEAN! I've just got our meandering Ottawa River. .. . .. and hordes of snarky Canada geese squawking and pooping all over everything. Boy, if you were underneath these creatures while they let some of this go in flight, you'd look like a mud-wrestler. . .. . . ... :huh::rolleyes:

Yep. I am SO lucky to have a great friend like this, who not only brings so much to my life, but serves as a constant, valuable reminder of what I've got. Man, all I have to complain about is that my daughter wears stupid clothes and one of my students can't seem to understand the present perfect. . . . . .... <_<

The Ripper returns this afternoon from what must have been a rather wet outdoor experience at cub camp. Everything will be damp, muddy and smelly. Now, this I simply can't help but complain about. . . . . . ...... :rolleyes:

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
