. . . he looks great . . . how could anyone throw him out!!!

Another heeeeelarryus piece of this tale. .. ....

From where did he come?

Was he modeling male wigs? Neckties?

For what reason was he disposed of? He no longer had the "look"?

I must uncover more information: exactly what other businesses are in this building .. . ..

Maybe Will has had him in his office all this time. Just as a friend, to bounce ideas off.....

Speaking of guys' names..........

In this school system I have heard of some.....er.........rather unique names.......

The pronunciations of two names in particular are strange enough....

Dee-OH-gee (sounds Hispanic)

Shi-THEED (Middle-eastern, maybe?)

If you haven't figured out already, they are spelled...

DOG

and...

Sh!thead

Could prop him on one's treadmill .. . . rather like a coxswain, ordering one forward. . . . .

*snort*

I do love the word coxswain

From where did he come?

For what reason was he disposed of? He no longer had the "look"?

:lol: Oh, the musing's of Em's Mad Mind

Um.......you know, he does have a rather odd, twisted look about his pose, note how hard his neck is straining rather backwards. Was he perhaps a whiplash victim? Suffered an untoward fate and was discarded?

oh yes, Em, you MUST get to the bottom of this. Please go, take him with you, and question EVERY SINGLE PERSON in Will's building :lol:

I am in total agreement here. Just love the name Smythe, esp. now since I know how posh it is. Was thinking of using it (Smythe) as Weezee's last name on her phacebook page :lol:

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must tell you of my complete irritation with some people going on marijuana cleanup trip this week (I am not going)

They wrote in their fool intolerances - one is gluten-intolerant, and one cannot eat soy. Several vegetarians (is is Santa Cruz area, after all :lol: )

Now, of COURSE you now that I TOTALLY know how to handle this but.......I looked at Shane and said.....I just can't IMAGINE, writing to an organization that prepares food en masse, going on my first trip with said organization, and expecting that they even KNOW WHAT IN HELL GLUTEN IS????????????? :huh: Shane and the other cooks had never HEARD of gluten until I came along.

and SOY? mygawd, there's soy in.......our pancake batter, the margarine, the salad dressings, all the condiments, the cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter, the cheese ravioli, probably even the hamburger patties from SAm's Club, the pre-made ready-to-bake cookies.......what am I missing? Sheesh, there's soy in EVERYTHING, right? She has to live on chicken breasts and cheese and veggies the whole weekend? ( I told Shane to call her)

So - these people just casually email that they can't eat these things, when there's a crowd of 40 to feed over three days................ :blink:

so - I called the celiac and spoke to her myself - - told her she REALLY should bring enough food to cover herself in case she can't eat anything (I could not eat a single thing on the menu except eggs and cottage cheese, but she's also DAIRY-intolerant) and she'd be reimbursed.

the noive. :lol:

I rather fancy that he is looking over his shoulder........a guilty conscience?.......a rogue of sorts?

What if bad luck has befallen the last owner......and all owners before........each one trying to rid themselves of the spell..........but, as always, he is found again...........and the curse continues...... :ph34r:

Maybe he's the guy with the lighter.......Chet.........poor guy.......that's all that's left of him :o

Hey hey psillies!! :)

Ptaum be bizzy-busy working & unpacking & unpacking & "hmmm how 'bout couch THERE, recliner HERE . .. ..bah not so good" & re-arranging "HERE & HERE ....bah again" & which box had the certain powerstrip I want for the space heater & "crap those pans don't FIT here" (SOOOOO many more kitchen drawers/cabinets at last place AND pantry which I now do wifout) & "can/should I use this shelf HERE?" etc etc etc

I AM mostly keeping up (woohoo AFA!! <IIIIIIIIII wanna go to a football game!!!!!!!>) but trying to get all moved in is top priority.

OK then . ...anyone know if there's a nice Urban Dictionary-type word for the forced immediate viewing of TIVO'd/DVR'd recordings when it's 100% full & nothing's just "eh" deleteable, but space MUST be made for recording shows that will air while out, say, at work?

I HAD to - HAD TO - watch 2 hrs worth today tho didn't really have time for it!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Morning, Psillies!

OMG, Nik. . . . . ...I have a pair of Asics runners meself. . . ....and neither of us are a part of the Chip World of which Ptaoughmghmnuss speaks. .. ... . ...

Or ARE we?? :unsure:

Incidentally, I believe this would be yet another terrific moniker for the Man-head.

ASIC.

:lol:

Sounds rather Northern European . . .....Slavic or Russian . . .. ...must examine face and see if there are any signs of this heritage.

Hmmmm.... .. Leeeesa, you may be onto something... . ...a curse.... . .a Russian hex... .. .

He does have his head in a somewhat awkward position - - not so much looking over his shoulder as drawing back, perhaps to avoid a blow or acrid smell. . . ......

His strange, Mona-Lisa type smile must be a clue. Somewhat smirkish. . . . maybe a bit of a leer. . ..... .

So phunny. . . . Will put the Head on one of our dining room chairs, and every time I walk by it this morning I jump, adrenline surging. . . . . ... :lol:

Mornin sillies B)

A fond Veterans Day and Remembrance Day to all :)

Pataghumn--oh how I wish we lived closer together!! I love rearranging furniture, setting up kitchens, phiguring out how to "balance" a room, etc. We've owned 9 different houses to date with the same core group of furnishings, kitchen stuff, Mark's tatt, etc.

It's always a challenge to make it all jive with a different conphiguration, but I love it! :D Yep--I could hook you right up :lol:

Welcome home, Amanda. :) I trust all is going well wif yer dad's recovery? Take some time now to settle back in and breath a bit ;)

On a nuther note--I had another dream that contained several sillies. I was moving again, it gets jumbled up after that, but this seems to be a reoccuring theme wif me as of late. :P

Ok--got nuthin else......pellet stove on the blink already <_< They are sending someone out--possibly as soon as this afternoon. No way I'm turning on that damn oil firnace--it's the principle of the thing! :lol:

Funny. NPR just did a piece on lower gas prices and mentioned that the drop in price has not increased consumption. It's people like you who refuse to overuse our limited resources that are keeping the economy in the dumps. Do you really want to put 'saving money' ahead of 'oil company profits'? Think about it. 'm sure you'll come up with the right answer. :P

Perfect Man, Perfect Woman

Random joke:

There was a perfect man and a perfect woman. They met each other at a perfect party. They dated for two perfect years. They had the perfect wedding and the perfect honeymoon. They had two perfect children.

One day the perfect man and the perfect woman were driving in there perfect car, they saw an elf by the side of the road, being the perfect people they were they picked him up.

Well as the perfect man and the perfect woman were driving with the elf, somehow they got into an accident. Two people died and one lived.

Who died and who lived?

The perfect woman, because the perfect man and elves aren't real.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @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
