For some reason the juxtaposing of Hork along with proper grammatical explanations strikes me as very funny. Good to know, however, that hork can be used as a transitive verb.

Well hork me, that is phunny!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Hork is a verb that I remember from my teenage years, oh so long ago. As we used it, it referred only to one sense, involving expectoration of phlegm. And then spitting in onto the sidewalk or whatever surface was close at hand. :ph34r: :greenfacedguy: Yeah, sometimes one of us would "hork a big one."

Hmmm....in california, we always said "hawk" - - or was it honk? "he honked a loogie"

"he hawked a loogie" :blink: not sure.....but it was never hork, to my knowledge....

unless.........the "R" is simply not pronounced :lol:

My gawd.....I've missed everybody! We're at a hotel for the next few nights....the movers came a day early, on Friday, and got the whole job knocked out in 2 days. Our closing isn't until Tuesday afternoon.

Padt's homeless!!!! and in a hotel, eating toast! didja have to bring yer own toaster and crap? Well of COURSE you did :angry: totally blows........seeing your boys, aw that is good......keep a stiff upper lip, Padt :wub:

What I want to know is how Jess was planning on using it??

:lol: I believe it had to do with cat vomit?

OK, can someone please tell me why, out of my whole giant living room, the cats have to puke right where the hallway is.

eeeeww

:lol: It is an unwritten, invisible rule of Cat Law. What I want to know is, at what age do they start this? Kitteh Boy :wub: is perfect, has done no barph yet.....

he is adorable :wub::wub: My mom calls him Dream Cat and is wildly jealous of his affectionate, adorable, neurosis-free ways.....her three cats are useless, really :lol:

DD's birthday today. Trying to keep the mood up 'round here... . . ..and today is International Peace Day. Jack's school is having a huge rally/symposium this afternoon. The keynote speaker is Arun Ghandi, Mahatma's grandson. He will be speaking about inner peace, and how it must be nurtured and fostered from infancy so that we can have real outer peace in this troubled world we are in today.

Jack is doing the French emcee-ing. Local TV and radio news channels will be there...perhaps it will end up on youtube!

Jack speaks French? :o Does everyone up there speak French? I thought that was only in Quebec.....wait.......are you quite near Quebec? Are yer kids Quebecois?

:blink:

does Poeter speak French too? phluently?

am I just sooooo stupid? :lol:

Hi Nik, Hi Judith, and a weak but mildly silly hello to all sillies...........

apologies to Jess (SNOWING again in Seattle? what in hell) but, it's near 70 here today and pure blue skies....the gentle spring days.....so pharking phleeting <_< Must enjoy! :)

Ottawa is just across the Ottawa River from Kay-beck. The federal government is a major employer in the region, and to work for them you pretty much have to be fluent in both languages.

I am originally from Ottawa, and learned French as a child, but we moved to Toronto in 1960, and for six years I did not use it at all. Then six years of it in school, in which I did well, but then it again fell into disuse. I can get by, but am a long way from fluent. I read okay, but have trouble sometimes keeping up with speech. As to expressing myself, well, the only good thing is that, because I learned it as a young child, I speak without an English-Canadian accent.

Sophie is also fluent in French. Happy birthday, Sophie! :)

I sometimes fear that I'm letting out too many unknown things about scientists; that we'll lose the mystique. Now, when some respected researcher comes on the news, instead of thinking "Wow! He's a scientist!" You'll be thinking "Hey, I wonder what he named his freezers..."

Yep, living so close to Quebec means most of us here parlent Francais. A great language....so much better, all around, than our own dreaded English language. How did such a lingo, so fraught with ridiculous rules, exceptions, idiosyncracies and grammatical cruxes, become the International language of Humanity?? <_<

YES.... . . . . . .moi aussi. .. . .....

Pahteeeeigh! Hope you are managing in yer hotel room, with a nice, firm mattress, rich, room-blackening drapes, lovely dimmable lamps....and of course, the handy Gideon bible for those quiet moments. . . . .. :D

I didn't know everyone was fluent in French up there! J'ai envie de parler! I have forgotten too much.

Then again, not much use for it here in the 'No. :angry:

Morning sillies-

exhausted- spent a long weekend at home with my family- uncle had a major heart attack identical to my dad about 3 weeks ago and underwent the same surgery. Last week he ended up back in the hospital with an infection--and at the time of the intitial surgery they had amputated several toes on his left leg due to poor circulation--the toes got infected and the infection traveled to his heart--how the visiting nurse did not see this coming has astounded us all. My uncle lives alone- never married no kids- he lives about 2 minutes from my parents who have been looking in on him daily. My dad came to the house on Friday morning to find my uncle pretty much out of it- he could barely talk and when he did speak it was jumbled words, he had no control of motor skills and he was starting to shake violently--he was taken by ambulance back to the hospital--and now he is fighting for his life- they took the rest of his leg off as well to above his leg. The infection had killed quite a bit. If they didn't take the leg he would have died from that alone. None he is in a medically induced coma so they can keep him open--his entire chest wound from the first surgery is infected and needs to heal---its a mess.....

So Imade a late night trip back here and am at work for the time being--we have 2 audits at the end of this week so I need to be here to get that done...

This has not been a good week for us at all---in sillyville and now for me outside--life has been testing me to say the least.

So my prayers are with all sillies and the families of those as well...keep up the positive notes---everyone will get through.

      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...

      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!
