OK. So I'm at the eye doctor, reading the giant print Reader's Digest while waiting for my eyes to dilate. I'm at some glurpy article titled something like 10 things to be glad about, you know, like world peace and stuff. I made it to No. 5 - Horns of plenty. :lol: :lol: I couldn't tell you what they were trying to discuss, 'cause by then I was only able to do headlines, but I couldn't imagine needing anything to be glad about, beyond a good, solid Horn o'

Plenty...

If your into Karl Jung and his theories....lets see if I can remember enough to make sense....

That all people share a Universal Consciousness that is our most basic link to one another. This is why we often have dreams that don't fit into our own lives (of situations, times, places we have not yet seen). He uses this to explain "genetic" memory, as well as why in times of great invention there are generally multiples of people who "come up with" and try to develop the same ideas at about the same time.

So.....either the idea generated here and floated out into the universe....or someone "caught" the idea from the Universal Consciousness slip stream and it made its way here! :P Of course, how obviously simple :lol::lol::lol:

EM - A _ Lyre....sorry about the laptop! Man! Are you able to go into safety mode? Does it let you System Restore to an earlier set-up?

If noTHing else...take it to Staples. They can check it out for you....that is, if you don't already have someone that you trust to do this. My telehubby had to take his there (we already got "burned by some "professional" outfit down here). We are fortunate to have found a fellow employed by Staples that really knows his stuff! He (hubby) had picked up a nasty virus in spite of the wall.

It may be nothing more than using your disc....Staples may even be able to tell you how to do that if you're not sure. Good luck!

Mornin', gang!

Thanks SO much fer your jumpin'-onboard computer troubleshooting, Jess and POeter!

I have been tearing apart my office searching for a Windows XP C/D......nowhere. :angry: There are a couple of sites I've glanced at telling me that I can burn such a thing from webistes that are given (finding that hard to believe when it must be purchased for $60 anywhere else), and haven't had time to take it any further....will check that out more closely, I suppose.

I think I'll be taking it to my friendly computer geek man who will fix it in a half-hour, instead of me taking a whole day . . .at the same time I will have him install Microsoft Word, as so often I've wanted to write something in a file while out on the deck.

He can also install AVG for me - - I cannot seem to get it on there. . . .

Just HATE parting with the $$$ right now! :angry::angry: Poop-a-doop.

but I couldn't imagine needing anything to be glad about, beyond a good, solid Horn o' Plenty...

:lol::lol: Yep. Reader's Digest has always, historically, had it's thumb on the pulse of everything that truly matters in the world.

Gah! Remember when I stumbled upon the article "I Am Fifi's Anal Glands"?? Talk about cutting-edge and pertinent! :lol:

................How is it that Psilly business is spreading out into the 'real' world?........Is it being sucked out thru a black hole in the space/time continuum? :o

Mornin' Psillies . . . won't be on much today . . . IT'S PARTY DAY . . . got 3 girls showin' up at 3pm . . . it's all giggling and shrieking and crafting and eating after that. I shall take a preemptive dose of Advil. Don't know why, but I'm cleaning . . . must get back to it.

Hey! When's that spring break? And is still happening in the northwest?

Hey! When's that spring break? And is still happening in the northwest?

:( Ahhhhh . . . No . . . change of plans. I'm not even sure what we'll end up doing but we are staying flexible so that I can go home that week. Hubby might take (drive) the kids to Virginia to spend some time at his brother's "country house" and spend a little time in D.C. . . or . . . we might all go to Pere Marquette State Park in Illinois so that I can see my parents and the kids can do some hiking and head into St. Louis to see the arch. My brother from Washington is flying in for a long weekend in two weeks to see mom & dad and I will head home then, too, so we'll have a small family get together.

My SIL tells me that spring break isn't the best time to come see them. They live about 3 hours Southwest of Seattle and the road conditions aren't predictable (pesky Mt Rainier). . . she recommends coming in June. She was also talking about just meeting us in Seattle . . . do you think she doesn't really want us at her house??

here's a silly from me mum:

WHY

ITALIANS CAN'T BE PARAMEDICS

Vinny and Sal are out in the woods hunting when suddenly Sal grabs his chest and falls

to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled

back in his head.

Vinny whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He

gasps to the operator, "I think Sal is dead! What should I do?"

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy and follow my

instructions. First, let's make sure he's dead."

There is silence. . .

and then a shot is heard.

Vinny's voice comes back on the

line.

"Okay, now what?"

:lol:

:lol:

Okay so I found out that P Kitteh is NOT cool with all dogs....... :huh:

We are babysitting Cousin Mojo, brought her home yesterday aft and - Kitteh was in permanent Halloween Cat mode for about 15 minutes :lol: (just love that, BTW) and......growled and hissed for quite a while......I worried that this could really be a looooooooong weekend. :blink:

well, they're all great friends now, and Kitteh is giving them What For :lol: :lol: and not scared a bit.

And thank God things have calmed down.....I was goign to have to get some REAL absinthe, and not the virtual kind some a youse have been sending me. :lol:

Question for y'all.

I have instant pudding mix - assorted flavors - and I'd like to make some. My choices for liquid are: mojito mix, margarita mix, red wine, and scotch.

What would work best?

I also have a bit of french vanilla coffee creamer stuff, if that'll help.

Uhhhh.... Don't you normally put ... milk.... in pudding?

I don't think alcohol would allow it to set. But a red wine-fruit flavor might be ok.

speaking of poop - - I have GOT to get a link to this page of a magazine I perused whilst held hostage at hair salon the other day........some PHAMOUS designer re-did her guest house and........was the MOST SCARY and garish thing I've ever seen - - supposed to be so posh and was just a 70's amalgamation of purple and pink horror, the kind of rooms you'd see and just go - WHAT IN HELL? NEEDS TO BE REDONE IMMEDIATELY :blink:

so - in this one massively-clashing room - - - sooooooooo fascinating and riveting I stared at the page transfixed for - a full three minutes? studying details of the cacaphonous design schemata.....dear gawd........wanted to run screaming around the salon and show it to everyone......$300-a-yard fabrics that looked like.......abstract vomit scheme or summat? (let me tell you what *I* could do with $300 fabrics <_< )

so - on the wall of her PREPOSTEROUS living room was this piece of "art" - - referenced as a "whimsical swirl piece" or something and.......seriously, it was just a GIANT PIECE OF WHITE POOP painted on dark background :lol: :lol: :lol: Honest to God - a piece of soft, squishy dog poo, much like the kind occasionally found in my back yard, that maintains its swirl shape, points on top and bottom and a solid curl in the middle......... :lol: A large piece that I think would make EVERYONE stop and think - phecal matter......right up there on the wall......

:lol: Makes me larph, even now - I must find this -

Emperor's New Clothes............ I want to write and tell her this :lol: :lol:

      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.

      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

      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, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. 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.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/
