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

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:

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
