All hail the Angelic Millennial Monarch!

I'd bow, but I'd probably fall over :P

Late meeting last night (OK, it ended up in the bar....).

The city's (BI, not Seattle) cultural art budget is expected to be cut by 75%. And we, the theater group, get a chunk of money from them every year. Much smaller chunk this year. We need to figure out how to make up the shortfall. And the city's vote isn't finalized, and the city itself is $3million in debt, so it's not unthinkable that we'd get none. :angry: Stupid economy.

Patti, honey, can you just fix all this? We could compile a list for you...

Ohhhhhhhhh I am so tired. I seem to have drug-resistant insomnia........am just babbling on and don't know what I"m saying........ :wacko:

BTW I tried to be so stealth with Weezel last night, waiting in the wings......but, kept having trouble accessing the new account......every time I would try to post an av, it kept telling me I didn't have access to that feature..... Kept frantically tying to log on anonymously......was not allowed........

couldn't do anything, in fact, and I was really feeling that I was being discriminated against, fer being a dawd and all :blink:

so finally went to the link sent to Weezee's new email address :lol: again, clicked on the CORRECT link......but then I wasn't even signed in anonymously, so Padt knew I she was here

ruined the surprise it did, mommy's incompetence :lol:

Time for the Silly-gross out story of the year---

We work in an office of 19. We all bring in treats from time to time- baked goods and such. Most of the baked goods I obviously cannot partake in which is fine- I do bake and bring in stuff that is gluten-free. Sometimes I am envious the stuff looks so good--A few weeks ago I found out something that makes me glad I can't eat it. One of our coworkers does not wash their hands in the bathroom after going.....and this includes both types of visits *shudders* There are a select few that know about this now and we inform each other of who brings in what. This morning an apple pie arrives and it looks so gross--I have seen store bought pies look better---turns out Dirty woman baked it....

The woman next to me is in the loop and so she refrains from the treats- she looks at me and says how about some pie...and I look at her funny. Turns out she was pretending to scratch her behind as she asked me....

Then at lunch time John and I were sitting on a couch outside the bathroom--The baker of the pie comes down the hall and goes into the bathroom....was in there a few minutes doing her duty...and then the toliet flushes and she came right out. John looks at me and says I didn't hear the water run. I then explained why I told him he was not allowed any pie when he had been in my office. He had spotted it and asked to have some and I told him there was only enough for the office....He almost died of grossness.

You know several of us have caught her red or shall I say dirty handed in the bathroom. She has not gotten the hint yet. How gross can ya be????

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again! 
    • knitty kitty
      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
