Ok- getting a little misty-eyed here. I found the student who is the reason I became a teacher! I was only going to do it for a year and then I had this student who had been brutally mistreated by his teachers- called lazy, never going to become anything. But he was sweet kind and smart.

And guess what? He DID become something: Open Original Shared Link

SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh. We have a big storm from Alaska headed toward us. :o

Whoa! That's Ottawa weather!

I had a 7th grader say "Hey- you wore that shirt LAST Thursday too!" Thank you for tracking my fashion

Bev!! What a terrific story! And this talented man's success is due completely to you. You need to get in touch with him and demand one of those beautiful ceramic pots in return for all you've done for him!....'Tis the very least he can do . . .. . ..

Well.....I can certainly see how you would suspect it might be me. But you see, like the reject photos that I clandestinely leave in the Walmart frames, I would only leave reject teeth in their wallets. All would have to be cracked, filled, chipped. . ....... .. ....most of these teeth were in pristine shape.

Why would anybody leave great pics or great teeth within Walmart products??

That is just nuts!!

:huh:

I emailed him and said Hey- is this you? It's your English teacher from 15 years ago (stalker? :ph34r: ). Either way, you're pottery's great!

He really is the reason I went into teaching. He was such a good kid- so much potential but had been beaten down by his teachers. I had him as a student when I was a tutor at a ski academy (the kids left their home schools for 6 months- tutoring in the a.m. and training in the afternoon, competing on the weekend). Amazing mogul skier!

At the end of the season, he gave me this note- he had made a mandala and inside written me a thank you note. Gawd, I miss that job!

Really nice here today...I worked outside in a sleeveless shirt! Almost as good as summer...YAHOOOOOO! I started terracing the hill in the back yard last year...worked on that some more. Telehubby is building a swing/glider to go back there. Can't wait!

Hmmm.

Is "being in heat" in any way related to "having the hots?" :blink:

The heat wave is subsiding. It is down to 5oC, and tomorrow will not reach double digits. It is expected to rain in the afternoon and evening. Most of the snaugh has turned to water and run away.

Bev, your teacher and former student story resonated with me. Sometimes paths recross years later. The man who unsuccessfully tried to teach me English Literature in the 12th grade is a customer in my store. English Lit just wasn't something I took to. B)

Good Morning, Tareeeeesuh! I see ya!

Hope you have more stupendous weather down your way... . .I can hear in your voice (writing?) :huh: how excited you are to be outside playing in your yard!

I have been staring at the white siding wall that is the back of our garage for some time now.......being an artist, I just need to fill big white spaces like that. I have some experience painting outdoor murals, and have been long researching what paint would work on the aluminum.

Well....all of a sudden, the plans have changed. Yesterday I stopped in my tracks outside one of our local art shops.....there I saw these big series of metal works, meant to be hung against a wall. I bought them immediately, not even knowing if they will lie flat against the siding, if they will completely rust within a month. . . ...

Crazy, impulsive artistic-emotions-are-stirred buying. <_<:rolleyes:

I will coat them with marine varnish, and see how things go.......will put up a pic.

English Lit just wasn't something I took to.

What? Hmmmmm....ya didn't have the right teacher. . . .. ... B)

This is phunny, POeter, as you have such a literary family and you write so well yourself.

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

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      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. ...

      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 ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      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!
