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....

      @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.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.

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.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
