Sillies- I am here at work again--feels like I was just here! Weekends should be 3 days! Oh Queen can we arrange something?

You want an 8 day week?????.......Don't think I got clearance to do that.

Oh.....and by the way......killing cactus?.....child's play, dearie. Ain't nothin I can't kill! :P

'Sorry, this video is no longer available' :angry:

WHAT in hell was it???.... a slingshot or summat????? :unsure::lol:

:P You were reading my mind! After watching it I thought, Hmmmmmmm....a slingshot would be better ;) So I googled, but none of the human slingshots would actually let the person go! <_< What'sup with that????

Two days ago, our dryer would not drain....it was half-full of water until DH banged around down there for a hour or so, and then it finally emptied.

:huh:

:blink:

I think I know the problem..........that's not a dryer......it's a washing machine! :P .................why do you have water in your dryer? :unsure:

:lol: ....Mrs. H........for a minute I was thinkin....who put me on youtube????

Well, some good news. And hello :)

Wellllllll......look what the cat dragged in! Good to see you Ryan! :D......and if anyone needs a summary, you'll hafta talk to Ptaughmnus!

Me cold is still hangin on, but am able to go without the decorative accessory of tissue (TP, actually), shoved up the nose, so I'm making a little progress.

Tinkerbell looked at me quite strangely last night while getting comfy on me chest.......

^^

:huh:

:lol::lol: Oh, Leeeeesar! Man, of course! I just knew there was something substantially wrong with the whole situation.......bien sur.......water goes through the washer.. . . . . .. I shouldn't have ANY water AT ALL in me dryer!

Hell, it's much worse than I thought!

:huh:

:lol:

I have early childhood memories of my mom sitting by the pool, or working in the kitchen, or out puttering in the yard, with two small pieces of toilet paper rolled up and stuck into each nostril.. . . . . . . she apparently had a lot of nosebleeds. This was one of those now bizarre but at the time completely normal pictures that appeared constantly through my childhood. In fact, she would show up for parent-teacher interviews at my school and I would say, "Mom! Where's yer kleenex?"....I suppose those pieces of tissue completed her.. . . . . . . . :huh::rolleyes:

Anyways, Leeesar.......is this the type of tissue accessory to which you are referring?

Dunno if anyone could pull them off like me mom. . . . . . . . . :lol:

Even better.......for the total effect you need to take the entire tissue (or 2-3 squares of TP), loosely wad up one end, shove it up yer nose, letting the rest hang down to yer chin. :lol:

Not only does it allow for maximum absorbency (too tight a wad would hinder this), but it also is an artisic expression of exactly how miserable you feel. Tinkerbell obviously has no appreciation for art. Hubby thinks it's sexy :D ...................well.....that's what he said, anyway :unsure:......hmmmm....didn't want a kiss, though :huh:

Of course, this is only an acceptable adornment in the privacy of your own home. :rolleyes:

To all of the above . . . and am adding my own . . .

Does the runny drip ever wake you up at night???? So Sunday night it kept waking me up . . . so upon sticking kleenex up my nostrils, I go back to sleep and have dreams about walking around in public where I have forgotten to remove the kleenex shoved up me nose. . . :P:lol:

And as I sit here at the computer, once again having to give in to this ritual, I have just realised the function of the excess tissue..........once the wad becomes soaked, you still have enough tissue to blow before you throw it away! :D

Did you take that pic of the humming bird??? I do so love hummingbirds . . . we only get the ruby-throated here and they are quite territorial. I was standing next to my feeder one day and I had one try to chase me off . . . cheeky little bugger.

We also only get the ruby throated...I guess the rest are smart enough to stay in warmer climes! I have taken a lot of pics of the hummers. Love my digital camera!!! We like to grow Dolicos vine (also called Hyacinth bean plant). The hummers love the flowers. You can stand almost within touching distance of them. We catch them resting on the vines while feeding. So cute.

Hya Ryan! So nice to meet you. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures.

Pah-ti....you are invoking memories of our move for me! I've lost count of all of the visitors we've had since we moved here. My mom and dad talk of coming down almost every time I talk to them. It's only an 8-9 hour drive for them...most of my family is in NY. Telehubbys family is about 4. Unfortunately my son is in Arizona...too far...but we talk on the phone often. I'm so glad that your visit was so enjoyable. Sounds like some amazing pholks in your fam!

Still catching up here....

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      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!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
