All right, so we are on the subject of growing up with our respective moms. ...... . What were your mother's nickname(s) for you? I had one, and it was given to all of us kids at various times:

Poop-nose.

:huh:

:lol::lol:

:lol: :lol:

Lots. I don't think anyone in my family actually uses our given names.

Jenner-poo

Sis

Dot

Jean-Jean-Jellybean

Lady Jane

hmm. Have to think on more. Those were (and are) the most common.

My poor sister became "The Dreaded Leafstalker". We still call her "Leaf" or Leafo"

Gads. Got new glasses. Bifocals (OH SHUT UP!)

It's like being on a roller coaster every time I move my head. By the end of the day I'm either gonna have a stiff neck from not moving, or be puking my lunch out from motion sickness.

She did however, when I was in my twenties and had dropped a huge jug of iced tea all over the kitchen floor and could NOT stop laughing about it, say, "Bev- You are such an A$%shole!" The ONLY time I ever heard her swear! Made me laugh even harder!

:lol::lol:

Yes..... . ..! :unsure: We need one o' Ptaoughmghmn's loud, official Summonings. . . . ..

....or maybe a magic word--like "teabag" fer Bevvie :D I'll have to think on this and get wif Julie...... B)

Bifocals (OH SHUT UP!)

<snicker> But pseriously, I remember when Matt phurst got glasses in second grade. We went out to lunch after, he got out of the car and the poor kid promptly fell on his phace :o

Me mom's nickname fer me has always been Trish.......could be worse. Me sister, who's 8 years younger than me used to call me "P" when she was little. At my 6th grade play, in which I was the narrator :P , my parents, grandparents, and lil sis were in the audience. After I led the Pledge of Alliegance, and the auditorium was quiet, me sis yelled out from the audience--"HI P!!!". It was so embarassing then, but charming to think back on now :D

I'm writing a grant for the theater group I'm involved with. The granting organization wants you to own a building or something that you can name after this guy. We don't own any structures so I'm proposing that we build a prop that will be in every show. The guy will be listed as a cast member and have an increasingly long bio. :o:P

Hi Guys! Reading along and catching up. Hugs for all whether you need it or not.

My mom didn't have many nicknames for us.....but my oldest sister gave some of the sibs names. My mom used Lady Jane when she was mad at us...so we wouldn't hate our own names (although I remember too many times she used our full names when angry anyway). How we all hated hearing Lady Jane!!! There are so many of us that mom would start at the top and work her way down. Because I'm near the bottom she often gave up and said.."Oh! You know who you are!" Still does it....so cute! "Kat-Na-Pat-Bi-Day.....Oh" :D

A lot of those things "Mom Taught Me" sound just like my mom! She had lots more, too.

BI-FOCALS!!!! Welcome to the club! I hated mine (still don't like 'em much). I like to hike...first time out with those I couldn't tell where the ground was. Couldn't walk and look around at the same time. Now I read without my glasses (book almost crushing my nose) because I can't read with my glasses on anymore :lol: .

Hang in there Psuessle! Things'll get better soon!

Forot what else......hope everyone is doing all right....at least upright and breathing.

Good morning, Psillies!

Wow, it's incredible.....this past week my house has been SOOOO clean, my prepared dinners SO delicious and admirably presented, my dogs SO content at their added walk, Jack's homework SO much better covered and understood, my classes SO thoroughly prepared and presented. . . . ......

.....Because it has been SOOOO quiet in the Ville. :lol::rolleyes:

But I hate it! No pressure to fit it all into my day. . . ....

Get back here, everybody!!

Mark's back! Now it's the final push, Pahteigh......how exciting!!

Suddenly heading to Toronto next week for a couple of nights. DH has to go on business, so we are gonna tag along. We will see Jersey Boys (anyone seen it?) and hit the CN Tower, and likely the AGO.... . . ..a quick visit to the Island to see my brother, and back we come. I like these quick, crazy trips - - perhaps the next time we come we will plan to meet again for pizza, POeter! :)

      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!
