here's something - I really do miss hamburgers but - OMG - positively vomitous! :blink:

Open Original Shared Link

I want to know how many calories that burger was............probably enough for 2 weeks!

There can not be a devil child worse than the new student we got yesterday. He is a 5th grader and is on his 5th foster home. He was abusive to the last family. He has a mentor that goes with him everywhere....even on Saturdays. Everything you say to him creates a conflict. We were sugary sweet to him but it didn't matter. When I told him to copy a sentence, he said he didn't know what to do. He made fun of a boy with a speech problem. I nicely told him that he can't help the way the words come out of his mouth and we don't make fun of people for things like that. He said, "I bet YOU have!"

One boy asked him who the man was with him. He replied, "He's my mentor. DIDN"T YOU HEAR HIM TALKING?" I said, "Well maybe he didn't. I didn't hear him either." He turned to me and said, "I WASN"T TALKING TO YOU!" I was in a different classroom when it exploded. They were sitting in a circle reading a book and he kept talking. The teacher tried to get him to be quiet and he went off about hating her and the school and wanting to kill people. He was taken away to the "quiet room" and held in a lock hold while he ranted and cussed. He wasn't in school today, but will be back on Mon.

The stress that day was extreme. The other kids were in shock....and scared. I have to wonder what has happened in his life to make him that angry.

Evening, All!

The Ottawa Wildcats lost this evening. . . ... :( Close game, 2-1. I HATE being the goalie's mom!! The goalie takes it all for the team, and a loss is always their fault (in their eyes). I just told her to always remain cool, stay alert, and keep an eye out along the edges of the ice for my cursor. . . . . .......

:rolleyes::lol:

How are you feeling tonight, Amanda? This was a big, hectic day for you. . . . hope you managed okay.

Hi Sillies

Still sick...but guess it will run its course.

Just got back from a road trip to my mom's to drop Landen off. It was a lot of fun. Jen and I got to my moms about 4 and then we went to a Halloween street fair in my moms town....It is cold there.....Maybe high 40's today?? I just know it was brrr!!!! We stayed with Landen until 7 and then we snuck out so he didnt see us. He was playing with my sister Carrie and all the toys.

Brooklyn is so precious and the two babies played together nicely. She was even smiling :)

Jen and I stopped to see Tammy on the way in Wilkesbarre. We visited with her and hubbie and Silvia for a bit. It was a great time and much laughing in my car.

Now I am pooped....The big move takes place tomorrow....yikes!!!!

Sad indeed

My son is in NO way as bad as this, - but not ALLOWED to go to school nonetheless :rolleyes:

and by god!...one thing I will NOT tolerate is making fun of those less fortunate than yourself

I hope (with my son) that our parental guidance will eventually offset all his behavioural probs - and he will possibly turn out to be a decent human being! :rolleyes:

...but for sooo many kids out there, school is the only place where they have come across rules and expectations :(

On a happier note t'is Al's 16th birthday TODAY!!!!

.....he woke us up at the crack of dawn :rolleyes:

He's gone to his 'Saturday club'......he burst through the doors screeching ''It's me birthday everyone!!!!!!!! '' :lol:

Birthday cake making (gluten-free victoria sponge with buttercream AND raspberry jam middle) will shortly be made by my resident chef Terry :P

GADS!!!....thankfully there are no calories at work on a Saturday ;)

...and how sweet.....every year he always gets money and a card from the LSA (learning support assistant) he had right back from nursery (kindergarten) - she never forgets ♥

Susie, hope your back's eased up a bit

{{{hugs}}} for me Bevel

...and where's Jules?????

Have a great Saturday pholks :D

:( So totally sad. My friend Lauren is in quite a bad school and there were a few like this last year.......they kept getting suspended and then expelled - some of them in several schools already by 5th grade..............Lauren and I decided that they needed three things: divine intervention/miracle (and she's an atheist :blink: ), complete dietary overhaul, and seriously tough love. Oh, and different parents in most cases. The parents are on crack. :(

Evening, All!

Well, I don't think it's fair for the goalie to assume responsibility for the team losing :angry: I know Sophie gave 110%, and has nothing to pheel sorry for. Hope she pheels better today :)

I hope (with my son) that our parental guidance will eventually offset all his behavioural probs - and he will possibly turn out to be a decent human being! :rolleyes:

I'll bet he does, Nik. Kids are like sponges in a way and they see how we lead our lives--at some point I think your son will come around ;)

And I want a piece of that cake! :P

:lol: Um, ahem, I think the correct term is emotiquota. :lol:

Susie, it is a shame that Annie is not the digger that Stinker was (Tika's Excavation Industries Ltd.). She could be out there right now, spraying and tossing dirt everywhere. . . . . . :lol:

Well, Josie is a bit of a digger . . . I could send her right over . . . but she prefers to dig things that have been freshly planted so she may not be too useful.

Nikerler, I got a question fer ya . . . If sponges are cakes, than what do you call yer . . . um . . . sponges??

You'll get 'em next time Sophie!!!

well, I don't think I can take credit fer "EMOTIQUOTA" - - 'twas Em, I believe?

and my back.................ugh. Just a mess. :( Weez and I just went on a walk and I felt and looked like an old lady.......much slower than our usual speed and........the pain is worse :angry: ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! going to Target, nonetheless, for two more plants......... may have Stepford's gardeners do the digging for smell fee, however.

can't even find me blasted heating pad..............WHO loses their heating pad, I ask you? :blink:

Of course named after Queen Vicky ...she was rather partial

T'is a mystery (like the Yorkshire puddings) quite how Tel gets the cake to rise sans gluten :blink:

I MUST know how Tel gets the cakes to rise.......we MUST find his secret. p'raps you should video tape him...........

Oh I see.......sponge is........cake. :lol: Here's what we call cakes:

yellow cake

white cake

chocolate cake

etc.

a SPONGE cake is.........what? we have that here........is taht like a pound cake? :lol:

but what is a Victoria sponge? is it the certain philling that makes it so named?

Susie, it is a shame that Annie is not the digger that Stinker was (Tika's Excavation Industries Ltd.). She could be out there right now, spraying and tossing dirt everywhere. . . . . . :lol:

:lol: Yes........oh Annnie DOES dig a bit.......she digs up all the gravel on the side yard and makes holes for herself. <_< (quite good that they ARE on the side yard/garbage area and not seen by humans - she is such a good girl :) )

And Stinker......her excavations and major digs were really confined to the LAWN. she dug up all the grass. :blink:

A phunny (unintentional, as is often the way) from Jack:

I was preparing to do my suppertime injection, and I had to open up a new package of cotton balls. Jack walked in as I was pulling the bag open, and he asked, "are you supposed to throw the first one away?"

:rolleyes:

"philling" :lol:

Suz--it's not a pound cake, a sponge is more airy and light--kinda like those little cakes you find next to the fresh strawberries at the grocery store in the summer fer those too lazy to make a proper shortcake. :P Yet another thing we can't have <_<

Yep Nik--yer son is like a Victoria sponge--wif a sweet filling! Just give him time, and you'll see :D

How did Al's birfday go?

      @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

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
