Souczie--

I must be a dweeb, but I enjoy jury duty :lol: Or I would if I could ever really serve :huh: I was called twice in Jersey.....phirst time I was put on a jury, only to be disqualified by one of the lawyers :angry:

The second time, I had to sit through a long day of jury selection....but was never called. <_<

The people at the courthouse were really nice, though :D Phunny thing--about a month ago, I got another jury summons from Jersey--more than a year after moving out of state :blink:

I would love to be on a jury, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

Pull the GI card. Tell them you explosive diarrhea and may have to run for the bathroom without warning and could you please sit near the door?

Yes! And make it true - - eat a huge plate of pasta before you head in for day one.

:lol: good one.

Here's what I wonder - - do you get to find out what the trial's about BEFORE you get selected? Because this will depend on whether I want to serve and am FIT to serve.

Because, if I don't like the subject matter, or don't understand it (let's say there's some sort of accounting/mathS or tax malfeasance, for example :blink: ), is that when I act completely mental and start grabbing invisible things in the air and barking? :lol: :lol:

I don't know it it's the same everywhere, but we were told right after we were seated in the courtroom and before the actual selection process started.

I have been summoned twice. The first time....many years ago.....I was selected, but on the first day of trial, someone for the prosecution didn't show up, so it was canned.

The second one.....about a year ago......when they asked if anyone had a valid reason for not serving, I told them that, with my fibromyalgia, I could not sit in those chairs for an extended amount of time. There were others with serious health issues, and none of us were dismissed. Once we learned what the trial was about, again they asked if anyone felt they would not to be able to serve. It was a child molestation case :( . I had my reasons. In the end I was not selected, but I still had to sit thru the whole selection process. I don't think it's as easy to get out of it as it once was.

pondering Em's plate o' gluten idea.......I'm thinking that explosive diarrhea might help. Down the pants leg and such.....one would surely have to be dismissed? :lol:

It's now at Walmart, L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Phree ColoUr Care System - - sulfate/chemical/salt free, in sets of 3 (shampoo, conditioner, deep masque) marked down from $10 to $5. I read about it on MakeupAlley.com and went straight over to The Walmart. :lol: LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

OMG Psillies. .. . . ...!!! Went to that unbee-LEE-vable hockey game last night, and all I did was scream. And scream. And scream. At the very end, when Canada scored to tie it at 5 with 5.4 seconds left on the clock, I must have screamed, non-stop, for thirty straight seconds. This is not smart, nor recommended. I cannot speak today.. .. . voice is a dull croak.

Wonder if this would get me out of jury duty?

This house is so......different....so...weird............without the sound of my constant discourse, musings, instructions, singing, carrying through the air.. . . ..

Everyone quite likes it, apparently. <_<

Dear gawd.....wif candles? Have done this with lipsticks. . . .rather interesting, as I'm never sure what coloUr(s) I'll end up with. But a super way to utilize those old, half-used, never-quite-the-right-shade Cliniques and Revlons.

Cannot imagine managing this with candles . . . ........ :huh:

'Tis funny.... . . . .the absinthe I picked up in Mont Tremblant Village just has, in lovely, cryptic script across the front label, "ABSENTE", with some French writing on the back. Nowhere does it say the company, brand name or country of origin (I assume it's France).

Perhaps it's Burundi. Now, that would phreak me out. . . ..

<Talking of 'oracles' my bin oracle has spoken (little old lady next door) ...she ALWAYS knows when to put the bins out ;) >

Are these garbage bins? Are they not put out on the same night every week? Ah...there was a holiday this week, so it did change somewhat. That li'l ol' lady is on the ball!. . . . ... :lol:

I wanna bum-phlap thingie too, Nik! In fact, I think ALL of our clothes, not just long johns, should have big bum/right-under-to-the-front phlaps. Jeans, shorts, dress pants........there'd be NO need for zippers or buttons in front that stick.....velcro phlaps.....yes, 'tis a good plan . . .. ..

Awesome av too!! ;)

Have you been following the Junior Hockey matchups?

This event may, more than any other, highlight the sporting differences on opposing sides of the St Lawrence.

I'm aware that Jr League Hockey exists, but only because it's mentioned regarding the NHL draft.

In the US, the NHL itself has been abandoned by national tv for lack of ratings. The outdoor game on Jan1 was on and the playoffs get some nat'l tv, but even ESPN gave up on it and THEY air ppl PLAYING CARDS!!!!!! :blink: :blink:

Needless to say, the Juniors get no airtime, world championships or not.

There's a High School football all-star game on nationally soon tho.

Love yer av ;) Just had my third brand of absinthe, over at Gail's. have had:

St. George - this was me favoUrite

You gotta try Lucid!!!!!!

Which was at Gail's? (Oh wait. .. .I think I know .. .La Muse!)

I saw La Muse at BevMo the other day, and 3 others I haven't had. :o

But reviewers mostly hate one of the 3, Le Tourmant, w/ artificial coloUrs like Scope and sticky sweet.

St George seemed so different, what w/ starting w/ a brandy base.

I want one of those 'all-in-one' undergarments wiv a bum flap they had in the Westerns!!! (has it got a name? :unsure::lol: )

Hehe-heehee I had those!!!!!!

Mom got us all some as a bit of a joke one xmas when we were 20-somethings.

They actually got much use by the Alaskan brothers.

Flap & all lol :lol:

Hmmmm ... what were they called .. ...maybe "union-something" .. ..bah

Brain getting better but not quickly enough.

I *so* miss having it WHIR like a brand new Juiceman. ;)

I'm hoping the badness lately is entirely from some food compromises made, for various reasons.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools. 
    • trents
      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
    • SilkieFairy
      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!
