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:

(Knickee's me/my substitution proclamation really has legs, don't it??)

Gawd. . . . I am even saying it during my everyday conversations now. . ...."I'm taking me car in this morning"........"Wow, me blood sugar's low for some reason"...... . :lol:

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.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
