Hi Bev :wub:

Angus and Sadie sitting in a tree, K - I - S - S - I - N - G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of your Dad and Sis, Em

Laura, I looked for E but I didn't spot him :lol:

Lucky him to be in the middle of it all!! Although I don't know, I kind of liked watching it in the comfort and warmth of me own home, no crowds, no frigid cold.

I so agree about the pressure and expectations he will be under. It's a stressful job as it is, look at how much Clinton and Bush aged, it was like an accelerated aging process for both of them.

There is no other country on this earth I'd rather be than right here! I'm blessed to have been born here. We are among the very richest people of the earth, and often take our freedoms, health and safety for granted. We should all be proud.

swear to God, at this point, if I were he, I would go and curl up in a corner from the PRESSURE and the expectations.... :unsure::lol:

Which is why, perhaps, you should NOT run for President of the United States. :lol: I'm thankful that somebody wants to do it . . . have I mentioned lately how I dislike being in charge??

I've got two BIL's that went. Here's the report as given by my FIL:

BIL and his girlfriend are downtown on the DC Mall this morning preparing to participate in the Inauguration of Barack Obama. They came in by bus last night/this morning and got into the DC area about 5:00am. They found a way to bypass the worst Metro Station congestion and got downtown by about 8:00am. Now they are walking from Chinatown (9th and G St.) to 24th St. by the Lincoln Memorial and around to the south side of the Mall to watch the swearing-in ceremony. They report that it is all good. They are well fed. All of the stores and restaurants along the periphery of the Mall are open and serving and there are 7,000 port-potties along the Mall.

Bev - hows come you got Sadie again . . . Just a visit, or did sumptin' happen??

My news . . . I gobba code . . . I'm aw stuffy . . . I'll try not to breave on you.

Phunnee that you mentioned this quote of Soooozie's, Janet.....as soon as I read it, I immediately thought of you were the news to hit you that, in fact, you had become our Monarch for 100 pages. Curling up, shaking and rocking......"it's too much....what they expect of me...it's tooooo much". .. . . ....

Take good care ub yer code, Janed. . . . . ..

What has struck me most was them mentioning the PEACEFUL transfer of power. Made me realize how much we take this for granted- so many other countries do not have this!!!!!!! For this, I am grateful.

Oh oh oh Yo Yo Ma...........I'm gonna die- the man is a GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, you guys. :wub::wub:

Well, my dad had the same laproscopic surgery this aft that my sister had two days ago.......but they found a big stone in his bladder, which they proceeded to annihilate with a laser. Went further up, and saw a BUNCH of stones high up in one kidney. This may require major surgery, so I don't know if they will do this on a frail, 84-year old man. :(

We'll know more tomorrow.

Even post-op, lying there morphined up, he still had me larfin' . .. . .. . .. . :lol:

Shaggy lobster legs :lol:

Lobster pie?!?!?! Is it like a pot pie with lobster, summat like that?? Sounds good, I'll be there....can't stink anymore than salmon :lol:

Meant to say earlier I love how Sooze says her "sils" :lol::lol:

So Sils, um, very stressed over ebay at the moment.....there is a technical problem with the shipping calculator, my items are showing up with $30 shipping on each thing so it's driving the bidders away. I contacted eBay and they won't do anything about it. This is going to totally affect the outcome of my auctions :(:(:(

I did, but I am affraid they aren't even clicking on the item to look inside at the description when they see what the shipping is.

I would take the shipping completely off but can't now as each item has one bid already, and you can't revise once you have a bid.

Em, saying prayers for your dad. Somehow it always seems harder when it's your parents! Good that he's keeping his sense of humor. Hope all turns out well.

Lobshter! One of the things I miss about upstate NY is that we used to go to Maine once in a while in the summer. There is nothing like fresh l.o.b.s.h.t.e.r.!!!! I once went out on a boat with a lobsterman and got a "tour" of how they catch them and lots of info. about them. Pretty kool. (Were they screaming while hanging onto the little fuffy legs??) :lol:

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

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

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free. Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by...

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
