Hi Sillies--

A quick poopsy-insy for me this evening. I am exhausted and I feel so sick. Today was the funeral in NJ. It was so sad. I haven't been to a funeral since my best friend passed away over 10 yrs ago, when we were in HS. I didn't think today would be so hard since I really didn't know this person but it was so sad. We were in the church and I saw John's aunt and she just had this look on her face....so hard to describe it cannot be easy for a parent to be burying a child, even though he was an adult....I lost it. So many things were going through my mind as I stood there...it is still hard to explain.

So then we went to the cemetery and it was so cold and even though I put my sun glasses on, the tears just kept flowing. The time seemed to go really slow and finally we were putting our roses in the ground on top of the casket. I was so glad when we were getting back in the car.

I got the worst headache in the world on the way home....and I have been sick ever since....so I am going back to the couch. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Em- Tell the Ripper have a great birthday!

Good Sunday morning, Psillies!

Amanda, I am so sorry about this rough emotional patch for you. It was probably good for you, in a cathartic kind of way, to shed the tears that you did yesterday - - and amongst all the other family's tears, perhaps a little easier to get through.

Draining hot tub, this morning, after that cavalcade of pre-teens. . . ..... :rolleyes: it has to be drained and refilled three times a year, so this seemed a good time.

Carry on, all!

I too am feeling gloomy today it is nasty outside....and cold and I need to start packing my house up. This house is full. Jen is going to dayshift in 2 weeks. Not this weekend or the weekend after....the following weekend. I am not sure if we will have Landen in the begining due to the move. If he is here from 6am till almost 7:30 on the weekends....well I wont get too much packing done.

So today it is major house cleaning and then I am going to get some things packed.

Bye everyone!

OMG. . . .. ..you will never guess what we found at the bottom of the tub when we emptied it this morning. A bit of dirt, two little leaves.... . .and something quite, um . . . .......weird, I guess I would say.

All right. It's a gloomy Sunday. We must play 20 questions. You need to guess the thing that I found, within 20 yea-or-nay-answer questions.

Perhaps I'll give a couple of clues.

First clue:

It's smaller than a breadbox. :rolleyes:

Afternoony peeps!!!!! :D

Tel's mince pies are just out of the oven....to be served with custard :P (T'was roast beef earlier)

...will be freezing a batch for any upcoming xmas do's for Alzey

Hey, my Gramma, too!! Her mom was a Scot... . .from a funny little hamlet called Beuley, I believe. What was your grandmother's last name? My grandmother was in the Leslie clan. . . . ....motto: GRIP FAST.

Mygawd Em!...we drove through Beauly on our Scottish travels (nr Inverness) ...... have I mentioned just how staggering beautiful it is up there??? :lol: <I think I may have>

....and did you know that in 1571 the Clan Leslie joined forces with the Clan Gordon (my Scots ancestors) against the (evil) Clan Forbes!!!

Livingstone. My great-great-grandfather, James Livingstone, was born on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, in February 1810. He came to Canada with his wife, Mary McMillan, and their newborn daughter in 1843, settling in Wellington County, Ontario, where they had nine more children. James was a cousin of Open Original Shared Link according to family history.

Fascinating stuff!!! :D

I see the Livingstones were in fact from the Clan Maclea......oh!...and Isle of Mull - sounds dreamy (MUST go there!)....but I can't hear it said without getting the 'Mull of Kintyre' song by Paul McCartney stuck in me head :rolleyes:

going to shave off me whiskers on me lip and go and crawel under me blankie.

Tee-hee :lol:

Yes, I must also shave me whiskers :ph34r:

The Rippers birthday bash!!! :D ...fabulous!!.....like the Queen he has 2 days of celebration!!!! :D

.....but draining the hot tub????........What will yer find at the bottom?? :unsure:

...and so many of you got yer got yer tree and decorations up!!! :o ......GADS you yanks are an organised lot!!!!!! :lol:

..... and Soozhee looking for a REAL tree?!?!?!....I'd love to......but can't be doing with the mess & needles......it's artificial ALL the way for ME!!!! :lol: .......I have a hideous 'fibRE optic'...thing........impulse buy :huh:

<Must get the little peeps under the stairs to sort all the decorations out!>

Is it gorgeously beautiful? :wistfulface: My great-gramma was most definitely NOT beautiful - - built like a brick sh!thouse, lantern jaw, wild, grEy hair all askew.. . . ...apparently not an individual you'd want to meet up with on a dark moor. . . . . .

(but i am certain she was a lovely person on the inside......). . . . :rolleyes:

....and did you know that in 1571 the Clan Leslie joined forces with the Clan Gordon (my Scots ancestors) against the (evil) Clan Forbes!!!

NIK!!! We are KINDRED SPIRITS!!!!! This is most fantastic. . . . .... :lol::):)

Um......no. A boy could own one of these, but not ONLY a boy. . . . . ..

Just to add on the Christmas tree sitch, I always had a real tree for the same reasons as you....hated the fake trees and loved having the fresh pine smell and just the realness of it all and bringing the outdoors and nature in, but they are so expensive and they weren't lasting long, pine needles everywhere and a mess to clean up.

I gave in and the last 2 or 3 yrs have done fake :(

A Phavre Phanne?

My big one today is my BEARS in the night game, fighting for division supremacy! :D^_^

Having TWO local franchises can suck tv-wise. Both have to be shown & the other channel (showing the country a greeeeeeat game no doubt) gets blocked when a local has a home game. (Unless THEY'RE in a blackout for not selling out) :huh:

TMI? :lol:

I got crappy 49ers, rancid Raiders & what I could The Underperformers Bowl, Colts/Browns.

More (non-football) later :)

Oh wait!!! Em!!! I want a question! ...uhhh .. .will it be thrown away?

      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.

      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.

      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.
