Thank gaawd!!...my life was on hold!!!!

Well now, as the mother of 3 boys I can testify to finding some very odd things in pockets.

Today I found around 10 plastic spiders, yesterday some raw plugs and screws, vast amounts of elastic bands and some dust caps for a bike :blink:

...ok, maybe, one of the boys in the tub had said rubber foot in his swim shorts pocket.....simply because he found it (irresitable I know!) OR Grandma is doing the shuffle 'clonk', shuffle 'clonk' :lol:

You may be right . . . . perhaps you guys would have simultaneously guessed correctly at about question # 5, had I not claimed that they are brick-coloUred. Indeed, must be a Canadian thing, as all the ones I've seen through me life are brownish-red. Perhaps a Commonwealth phenomenon? Nik?

Yep. I am certain that there are countless people stumbling onto our thread thinking, "Crap. . . . ...I really need to talk about the coloUr of those rubber tips on the end of crutches....time is of the essence .... ..where can I go to discuss this??"

We can even do them all in ASL. What other motley crew can claim this?? :lol:

Hi Everyone!

I cannot believe it is Monday again! Already! So here I am sitting at my desk. Thankfully Landen slept all night. He was not much happier this morning, that tooth is bothering him...poor thing. He did get to visit in my office this morning. He loves seeing the coworkers and they love kids. So he was wandering around while I was clocking in and finding something. We then ventured down the elevators to the lobby to find Jen. She was running late this morning since they had a few new patients getting beds on her floor. It was crazy.

She is making dinner at her house tonight and then she said she is decorating for Christmas too. I am going to join her not sure about John.

So I guess thats it for now. Talk to you all in a bit

Hi Judith!!!!!!

My 'moody' cat is a female, spayed AND has ALL her teeth and claws (read: dangerous!!!)

To be honest , she would be better suited to live in peace and quiet with some little old lady doting on her :lol: .....but THAT ain't happening!!!.....Too much noise and people aggravate her :rolleyes:

The other cats are VERY wary of her!!

Hello Sillies on this good Monday, Happy December to yous, and PINCH PUNCH and all that jazz!!!

I would just like to say Jacquie is such a good Queen, future Queen and Kings take note how she greets us cheerily and wishes us all a good silly day!!! :D

I am certain it is the large, brick-coloUred, rubber thing that goes onto the end of a wooden CRUTCH.

I said that one COULD probably wear it around one's neck. WOULD one? Another story. . . . .

Mystery solved!!! I do not tell a lie when I say I almost said the rubber stopper on the end of a crutch, when you said it was a large one (I knew the ones on crutches are larger than the ones on canes)...but the wearing it around one's neck really threw me off the trail.

Em, you might as well said it could make a very large nose ring :lol:

...ok, maybe, one of the boys in the tub had said rubber foot in his swim shorts pocket.....simply because he found it (irresitable I know!) OR Grandma is doing the shuffle 'clonk', shuffle 'clonk' :lol:

Splendid idea, er capitol idea Sooze!! We should play 20 questions once a week or sumthin

Yes, if you know the surname just stick the word 'clan' in front (and area of Scotland if you know) and google it!!!

See what comes up :D ..... were 'we' in battle???? :unsure:

Oh thank you Nik!! :D

One of me surnames is Sweeney, I goggled it and a whole history lesson came up.....must get busy reading and sort it all out cuz as of now it's not real clear which clan :lol:

SILLIES - I am at work - Shane has gone to a meeteing and.....I have the HUGEST, trapped phart-bomb in my stomach, it won't come out......and it MUST come out - - am doubled over :blink:

Maybe the potato chips and scottie dogs don't agree with one another, those trapped gas bombs are miserable :( Hope it expels pronto and for peter's sake when you are alone, guess you could always blame it on the Weeze :huh:

      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.
