Back from the Halloween party...........awesome!!!!!

There was a magician who roamed the party and a guy hired to do charicatures(sp).......free to us, of course.

And there was his dance floor in the basement. He also had a green screen set up for picture-taking.

Hubby decided this morning that he was going to go as VanHelsing (he already had the coat and hat), so I decided to go as the vampire lady (don't know her name).......dyed my hair black, bought some cool boots (I used to be too big to fit boots over my calves), tight pants.....already had a black lace-up shirt. My fangs wouldn't stay on, however. Got lots of compliments! :D........hubby said I looked hot!....teehee! :P

My daughter and her boyfriend went as Johnny Cash and June Carter.

I don't know what my hair will look like tomorrow when we go dancing.....how well does temporary dye wash out?

Morning, All!!

Oh, what a GRRRRRRREAT time last evening was!! :):) So wonderful reconnecting with people who were at one time close to you, as Laura was - - we were close childhood friends. And of course, my best, best buddy (the one who is ill :( ) hosted, so it was terrific....must post a pic of our smiling, reminiscing faces.

...And I was correct - - Laura is a staggeringly beautiful, 5'9'', 125 pound (packed muscle) blonde - - lithe, poised. .. . ..couldn't stop staring. . . .. .... :rolleyes::lol:

Note to self: More yoga. Now...

Ptaoughmghmn and his wee TV!

Exciting news about your new digs, AND your positive mental state. It's creepin' back, Ptaumnuss . . .... :)

Mom is coming. .. ...this is a good thing. Moms appear, and things are good.

Um, well, with me they become fan-f@ckin'-tastic........

I doubt a full-time position would do it. The 9-10hrs days would probably wear me wayyyyyy down kuhhhh-WICK, but this 3-4 hr stuff is goodness.

Yep....part-time work is where it's at fer me, where I'm most balanced and fulfilled. It's a great life, and I'm SO blessed to have this schedule! Home for the school bus every day, not rushing through work to get to my other errands..... .. ..

We is lucky, Ptaoughhmghmhmn! B):)

Jess--your article hit home fer me, too.

This statement that I took from it explains me perfectly--

''I actually feel kind of attacked by the sun,'' the designer said. ''I feel like it's piercing into me, and I start to feel more and more desperate to escape it."

Wow--desperate to escape it--that's me. I feel anxious when I get too hot, I know it's an over-reaction, but I can't help it. The sun, particularly. Now, a sunny day this time of year is no problem, but when it's already warm--or gawd forbid humid--I get panicky.

Wow, fascinating. . . . ..never heard of this corollary to the classic SAD. Soooozie, this does sound like you! Wanting the darkness of a rainy day.. .. ...

My weirdness does not seem connected to weather a 'tall. <_<

So phunny....Jess, I did not know who in hell you were talking about when you said Tommy. Honestly, it took me about ten seconds to realize it was, of course, Ptaoughmghmn. That just sounds like a totally different person, somehow.

Nope...Ptaoughmghmnuss is just NOT Tommy........ :lol:

:o OMG - fascinating........I HATE these summers, and have gone into my deepest depressions during the heat! It is also, perhaps, one of the main reasons I have escaped to the mountains as much as possible, for my entire life.........my heart literally aches and longs for a cabin, where we used to have one...... :(

Phorgot to tell you guys: That unfogettable bib I made for my mom some months ago, with the Raquel Welsh bikini body on it, will be making quite an appearance on Hallowe'en evening. There is a big costume party happening at the retirememnt residence, and my mom is wearing it with great big sunglasses and a long, platinum-blonde wig. Must get a picture. .. ..

Actually, it would be a lot funnier if my dad were to do this. However, it is more expected of him, so perhaps this is a better surprise for everyone.. . ... :huh::lol:

Maybe it's part of the Baked Dingobrain Effect (and precipitous[?] affinity for gloomy precipitational weather), but I had my greatest days, day after day, for months, last summer.

Very interesting, nonetheless. I'd never heard of "reverse seasonal affective disorder".

[Ahhhh Poeter!!! Nice S.A.D.!!! (Seasonal Avatar Display)]

This part did make me wonder:

"People with severe depression, he said, tend to have higher temperatures at night .."

I very often get warm enough by 11 or 12 to change into shorts, even if I've felt cold all day. :huh::wacko: But me brain also works better at those late hrs.

Man!!! Being gone for a few days makes it hard to pick comments to comment on . . . so I shall ignore you all and talk about meselph . . .

The trip was lurverly . . . nice hiking, trees, rock formations, views, etc. Kids did great. Pretty good sports through it all until the last hike which Smack proclaimed a "rip off". It was a pretty long hike for the end result (a natural rock bridge). The kids both proclaimed the horseback riding as the best thing we did. Was that because we only went once versus the hiking which was . . . often? The other great event that Smack enjoyed was the power outage whilst at the "luxury" cabin. I'm not sure why he thought that was so great but it only lasted 30 or 40 minutes.

Our "luxury" cabin was quite disgusting . . . with yellow/brown hot and cold running water and no TV (the children were distraught).

Here are some professional photos of some of the things Open Original Shared Link. There has been a drought there so the water falls weren't falling but the rock formations were impressive.

Janet! Hey, what's a little brown water and wood cabin-type squalor amongst vacationing family members? Sounds like you had a good time. . .. for me, throw horses into the mix, and all is good.

There is NO smell like that of a horse - - it is absolutely my favorite scent (okay, maybe odour)...... . . and boy, does it hang around on yer body after a long ride....even after a shower, somehow. Betcha all still stink o' horse, right, Janet? :lol:

Unfortunately, the only piece I can ever think of when the subject is this musical is Uncle Whatsizname's Fiddle About... . ..

Quite an odd piece of stage production, wasn't it? Never really grabbed me .. . ....the story, nor the music.

Loved Roger Daltry, tho .. .. . ... :wub:

Of Course we don't smell like horse!!! We've had several showers in the coloUred water since then!!! Now we smell of iron residue . . . Gawd, I hope that's what it was.

Skeeter got bit by one of the horses . . . of course . . . trying to feed it some grass/clover from her hand after the ride. The guide even showed her how to do it so she wouldn't get bit . . . she heard blah blah blah and then immediately got bit!!

The kids had never been on a horse before other than pony rides. I have a feeling they won't settle for those any more.

I remember a young hellion of a boy spraying dark blue hair colour into his entire head of blonde hair at Jack's last birthday party. . ......I was still seeing quite a bit of it the following week when I went into the school to volunteer. .. .... ..Yes, I'll bet Leeeesa's not around because she been shampooing....and shampooing. . . and shampooing. . . . :lol:

My boyfriend got a 61" Tv and put it in our BEDROOM. I kinda like it.....

My husband asked me if I needed any more inches on my bedroom TV.....I think it can be an area of great self-consciousness for the average male. I've been very reassuring and understanding, assuring him that the screen measurement is irrelevant, really - - it all boils down to the quality of the picture, and how it is viewed.

But wow, Bunnie. .. .....yer boyfriend. . . .....61-inch screen, huh? .. . . .........

Actually, it was a bluish black, but the blue was not very noticeable......now it's kind of a faded black.

BTW.......looks like a lovely place you visited. I looove horseback riding, but rarely get a chance to 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.

      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,...

      @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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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

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.
