Yes . . . something is definately going around . . .

CDC Alert

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically. This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues, or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.

Take two good friends to the nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

OK . . . a couple of highlights from my trip . . .

Four, forty-something, slightly plump women . . . The first day getting ready to go to the beach, two of us walk out wearing the exact same swimsuit!!!!

Found out going through security that my driver's license had expired about three months ago!!! Guess what I got to go do today??

I was quite popular on the beach. I had several people stop by to ask me about my Open Original Shared Link. However, at the end of the day, I was having a particularly hard time getting the "shade" part to collapse into the small sleeve it's suppose to fit in. Finally, a perfect stranger (who I had noticed had been watching) walked over and said "Gimme that"!! And quicker than you could say "Bartender, I'll have another", she had it all folded up. Then she just left . . . no joking around or chatting or anything . . . she was just tired of witnessing my incompetence. :lol::lol:

Susie, I did not get to see your mailbox av!!!

Actually, I must say she looks pretty good fer what, late fifties?

Watch, someone is going to now tell me she's 32. . .. ....... :lol:

Love yer av, Jooolie! What a view. . . . breathtaking.... :)

I just realized this morning that this is the time of year in this part of the country when everyone suddenly smells like mothballs. It's autumn for real, here! :rolleyes:

Welcome back Janet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved yer virus info sillies :D

You guys have had some WACKY dreams!!

And pink eye is going around Sillyville??? Yikes!! Next thing you know we will all be ovulating at the same time, even Peter, Tom, and Ryan :lol:

Amanda, the Florida trip with yer mom sounds like a GREAT idea!! I hope you can find a cheap flight. I looked into airfare from here to New York and it was like $1000 :huh: What's up with that?? Well I know, but just saying <_<

Walmart trumpeter :lol:

and Patti's doing the treadmill and such! Julie, too? Well, pholks, I have been faithfully working out at gym for over a month now also. Elliptical and heavy weights.......loving it.

TreadmillING :D (the act of engaging with the treadmill)..... a phun new word created right here in the ville!!

Sven is in da SILLY house!!!!! Bunnie is now working out, and Patti and Susie, me and Em, Amanda (...are you back to the walking?) Nikki of course goes slimming :lol:

There is a new thing that you can do to a friend, besides the now old "poke", "hug', "send a beer to"- - dunno if any of you have noticed it, but it would work very well here, Patti, for this old love. You can "bump and grind" with ________.

Do you remember him being the type who'd be receptive to bumping and grinding wif you?

EMILY!!!! I swear, you crack me up!!!! This made me laugh so hard.........and go check if there really is such a thing as bumping and grinding on the Book :lol:

this is a hand

this is a lamp

You might be surprised how often you need to use these phrases in a sentence :lol:

Another useless exercise in futility, aggravation & general d%$#@#$baggery.

He *really* doesn't listen well.

Not sure why we couldn't have done it over the phone.

Mostly just said some unknown non-cancerous thingy (1.8 x 1.5 x 2.6 cm) betw the pancreas & upper duodenum should get an MRI or MRCP.

Nothing about the intestinal ridge/lump that prompted the CT, except pointing to the sentence on the report that says nothing was seen there.

Guess I'll probably be keeping the appt at the Mayo Clinic (Phx) Nov 6th.

Me burgeoning silly's waned & vanished.. .. .

Oh, TOM!!!!! This post totally bummed me out, I am so sorry you didn't get much back from the Dr and your report.

:(

Your appt at the Mayo Clinic sounds like a good plan. Keep trucking, you'll get to the bottom of this!

I did get in trouble once in 5th grade for writing on the side of the school building with a dandelion :P ..........don't laugh........after all, it was the late 60's.

Hee hee, yer such a rebel Lisa!!

Oh, Heathcliff!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE that book (one of my two faves!).

Mine too!!

I've decided this board is a subspace conduit of thought from one silly to another. I started working out the other day again, I've been limping ever since. My boyfriend had an eye issue three days ago. We had burgers the same night everybody else did.

However..... I LOVE musicals. I have to confess though, the reason I liked Moulin Rouge so much is cuz I think Ewan Mcgregor is super sexy, and I had no idea he could sing like that.

:lol: Bunnie

I LOVE Moulin Rouge, one of my top faves, and I LOVE Ewan McGregor. Have you seen A Life Less Ordinary? He's so phunny in it!!

Thank goodness!! I was beginning to think I was the only one!

You're not Patti, I love musicals too.

This is a totally de ja vu conversations, I think we discussed Chicago and Moulin Rouge before and drew lines in the sand on who liked/hated what......then we broke out into a song and dance turf war routine a la West Side Story

That's right. . . . jumpers are worn in the UK in lieu of sweaters.

Do they also retain the smell of mothballs, then?

........ Vital information to consider: Are they both your left eyes?. . . . .....This means something. . .. I am certain . . . .....

Mine is my right eye......mirror image of Amanda.......but mine is not pinkeye...probably an ingrown eyebrow hair gone amuck! <_<

I have a left eye thing going on too. ;):lol: (get it? the ;) )

Anyways, the excema that has been gone for like 2 years is suddenly back :o I ain't happy <_<

I saw you mention that on another thread. I used to have a dry skin-type rash on my right eyelid....can still kinda see where it was.

BAH to SWEATERS!!!!.......... what yer need is A JUMPER ;)

OK.....WTH is a jumper?......cuz around here, it's a sleeveless dress with no waistline that requires a shirt...usually turtleneck...to be worn underneath it.

BTW.....I happen to like sweaters!.

And on a similar note...you know the knit winter caps people wear?.......my MIL calls that a toboggan. :huh: .........isn't that a sled?

my mailbox? well, you get to see how completely HEINOUSLY sterile and manicured the grounds are, here. :angry: (at least, at Stepford\'s house) horrible typical, Central Valley idea of landscaping.......\'tis truly egregious. Always wondering if I should start some HUGE campaign to promote drought-resistant and native plants.......but very few care, here. :( Huge water crisis......you\'d think they would.....but no. Very odd place to live, this bloody Central Valley......I don\'t belong here, I\'ll tell you what.

I don\'t recall having to reminisce about the trauma of Moulin Rouge....... :unsure: not sure we discussed it here, did we? I dingo\'d it......I DO remember discussing Chicago........ugh. Pure torture. :lol:

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some very disgusting things happened today!!!!!!! :o

Minding my business gardening, pulling weeds, etc.

First, I pick up the poop (annie\'s, not mine) to mow the lawn. Alas, I missed a pile of a particularly gooey sample (and loaded with nuts, BTW, from one of her binges). <_< [NOTE: drastic measures have been enacted to reduce binging and, they have worked, I\'m pleased to say. Trash can is - GASP - outside the fence but hidden by shrubs. I\'m safe. ;) ]

So, this poop was spread like frosting :gag: all over the bottom of me shoe, and then tracked all over the cement patio, before I was aware. :unsure: :vomitface: They were quite old, I simply threw the shoes away as could not deal with the cleanup.

Second. I\'m weeding one of the beds, and I notice a slightly rancid odoUr, but ignore it, it\'s so slight and I think I\"m imagining things. Fifteen minutes pass, and I am using my NEKKID HAND and a small spade to dig up weeds.......I am within centimetREs of this pile of........what I thought was feathers at first but was not. :huh: my spade touches upon this.........this..........decayed pelt :vomit: OF A LONG-DEAD RAT. :o So, after discovering it and flicking aside this rat fur remant, there is a GIGANTIC PILE OF MILLIONS OF MAGGOTS.

:o :grossOUT: :barf: :horror: :revulsion: :o

And, they went VERY deep, as I dug with my spade..........oh my God. many inches below the surface. :wretchingalittleasIthinkaboutit:

By the way, spider spray does not kill maggots. :unsure:

So then..........in another bed I am weeding, there is another rat, only FRESHLY DEAD, like, maybe it died yesterday? and I have to scoop it up in a shovel and put it in the trash.........that makes me REALLY SICK.......very hard for me to do. It had rigor mortis, quite a stiff, long tail, BTW.

I decided to put it in the bag with the scooped-up doggy poo, which meant, having to hold the bag open and maneuver the shovel with the other hand. I was CERTAIN taht that rat tail was goign to touch my hand, and shudder to think about it. So - put gloves on - and yes, the tail DID touch my gloved hand. :o:unsure:

:vomitvomitvomitvomitvomitvomitface:

All in all, a disgusting gardening experience. Must be more careful and more watchful of dead rodents and nutty, soft, poo.

I bet you are USED to rodents and critters, Judy, but, in the almost four years I've been here - NEVER seen a rat, squirrel, mouse - only snails and spiders - seriously! We live in a desert climate, and new community......no critters here. Teh rats are probably here now because they cut down three of the four orchards earlier this year. :( and the squirrels don't now the gate code.

      @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.

      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.

      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
