From me mum:

Normally, I avoid offering any advice regarding buying or selling of stocks.

However, This is important enough to warn you since this explosive situation might prove to be yet another ENRON.

Please review any holdings you might have in the following stocks: American Can, Interstate Water, National Gas Company, Northern Tissue Company.

Due to these very uncertain market conditions, I advise you to sit tight on your American Can, hold your Water, and let go of your Gas.

You may be interested to know that Northern Tissue touched a new bottom today, and millions were wiped clean.

It's a tough market out there.

Be careful!

Good Morning, Psillies!

Lots of people to be asking and thinking about today. . .. . .

Laura, hope all goes like clockwork. Be thinking of you. . . .. :)

How are you feeling today, Bev? Sounded like you were on the upswing when you last reported yesterday . . ...

Amanda! How'd the hectic move go? So wonderful that your family rallies around friends with that kind of help and support - - Jen is very lucky to have you all! :)

Ptaoughmghmnuss! I was thinking of you on Monday (?) when you had your orientation. In accordance with my mom, who has been famous for creating these names throughout our lifetimes, you are Mr. New Job (any time ANYTHING has been new.. ..I'd get a haircut, I was Miss New Hair. . . ...she would go out and pick up my dad a bunch of new clothes, and he was Mr. New Pants/Mr. New Tie).. ... . . :lol:

Gawd, through the years....... Mr. and Mrs. New House. . ..Mr. New car. . . Ms. New Chronic Disease. ... .. .(actually, the unwritten rule has been that the names always refer to something positive, thank gawd ). . .. ...... :rolleyes:

Have you started in earnest, Ptaoughmghmn?

Janet! When do you leave for Hobbledy Hills? .. .. .. Hollaback 'Ho?. . . . . Horton Hears a Who?....... . . . :huh::rolleyes:<_<

Still have some catching up to do so I don't know what's going on w/ Laura today .. .. :huh:

Good Luck anyway Laura!!!

Where's our Absentee(n) Queen????

Work's good so far :) Thx for all the well-wishes all y'all. :)

It's even weird simply having a badge again for the 1st time in ....over 11 yrs. :o

"Orientation" was just 30min then I got in 4hrs but the test system's hard drive was being replaced so we didn't get to get to the meat of the training.

Last night we were supposed to have parts to test but the full-time daytime tech finished it all. There's a theory that he's (unjustly) feeling threatened & worried for his job w/ the group bringing in a part-timer.

So I only put in 2.5hrs last night & discovered I *really* don't like solder fumes. :yuckface:

Soldering isn't supposed to be something I'm doing anyway, but we started rigging up something to look at what happens w/ superfast rise times on power-up.

100 nanosec!!! Hmmmm there are 300 of those in a literal blink-of-an-eye.

Still no silly going on for me, but I think I'm feeling better. Questioning whether I can tell the difference betw feeling a little better and just lowered expectations.

But it is nice to have something to do, work-wise.

<what else was I gonna write?????>

Hi, Ptaoughmghmn, aka MrNewJob! (See post from beginning of page).. ...

You sound great.... .. . :)

. . . ...Soldier fumes????. . . ... :huh:

Soldiers have (or develop) a particular smell? I suppose those fighting and/or peacekeeping in the world's sizzling desserts would offer up the most of these special fumes with which you are dealing. . . ..

:lol:

Do Canadian Soldiers patrolling in the Arctic Passage give off soldier fumes??

Glad to hear it's all going well so far--yeah, I think that's pretty natural for the present people to pheel a little usurped by a new person, but hopefully that won't last. :)

      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...

      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...

      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 +

      @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.

      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.
