Dead mouse? What a Good Mornin' that is! :lol:

Just had some hot quinoa porridge (made a batch for the fridge this am after our discussion last evening)....with brown sweetener, cinnamon and the big treat - - homogenized milk......yuuuuuuummmmmmm.. . . ....... :)B)

I find that grains, generally, are NOT good for my blood sugar control, so I rarely indulge. Is it the same for you, POeter? Quinoa and rice seem to be the best for this.

Fantastically, alcohol is superb for keeping blood sugar down. Jess, you would make a great diabetic. :lol:

Me car's going in for the big tire change today - -spring is truly here! :)

And yet MORE laptop problems. . . . . ... :angry::angry: ..... . . does not allow me online, even though I am connected. WHAT IN HELL?? Somebody has told me that it is because it is running on only one bar of strength . . . .. .... :huh::huh: . . . . ... ....hanh??

Sigh. . .. . . .....I feel like I'm on only one bar of strength. . . . . . ..

Carry on, Psills!

Hi Sillies!

John is feeling a bit better. He has some more appointments and hopefully we find out more soon. I was able to find the Honey Chex last night--talk about exciting. I was dancing.

Its kind of gloomy here today too--I think they might be expecting rain which works for me--they were showing on the news yesterday where we are real dry for this time of the year and thats not good going into the summer months.

Paddeigh how are you settling in? Send me some warmer weather.

Till later

I went back into the room to discover that Lyle had eaten the ears off the mouse and left the rest for me.

This brings up serious social-psycho-ancestral-caveman questions when you consider the implications on the consumption of chocolate Easter bunnies...

And served to you in bed on top of it all!! :D

It's a bit cooler here this morning--58 and cloudy. I have me windows open to catch the breeze :)

Did I tell you guys that the fridge here doesn't work? The freezer is fine, but the fridge is only slightly cool. (which is odd since the whole place is brand new...) They gave me the key to an unrented apartment across the hall so we can use that fridge till the Whirlpool guy gets here today.

Walked over yesterday in me PJ's to fetch the almond butter :lol:

Hmmmm....why DO we eat the ears of those bunnies first? It would somehow seem weird if the first bite we took was off its face. . . . . .. . ....but why?. . . :huh::lol:

Take me through it Em!..do you boil in water or the milk??

...sounds GOOD! :P

I boil it in water for about 15 minutes. It keeps in the fridge really well (perhaps not Patti's apartment fridge :rolleyes: ) - - I've made a big pot and it's been fine for almost a week. I heat up a bowl in the microwave for a minute. Jack likes some honey, cinnamon and milk on it (I put berries on mine). . . . . ....TRY IT!! :)

Good news on John, Amanda! :)

Pahteigh headin' across the hallway in her jammies . . . .. :lol:

You MUST name this useless fridge.

I think Wayne.

Jess- at least you didn't have to get dressed to get breakfast and it didnt cost you a cent either ;)

My goodness sillies--I swear Lucky has become the pimp of the neighborhood--in the last week I got 2-3 different cats at the porch staring at him at our back porch. I don't know if he is showing off a little tail or what but he is very popular.....I can have my own little Kitty Brothel.

They don't seem to cause me much of a problem. Perhaps it is because I am using lispro (Humalog) which has a different action pattern than regular insulin.

Afternoon sillies :D

I see big ponderings going on here in Sillyville, why do we eat the ears off the chocolate bunnies first???

Nikki, I would give the quinoa another try. It does sound like maybe you used too much liquid. Give it a go with a reduced amount.

ANd score on the gluten-free baked goodies you found :D

Amanda, I LOL'd at you dancing in the cereal aisle. IT's the little things that bring so much joy :lol:

Patti, hope you get your fridge fixed soon.

A Lisa B poop in. Hi Lisa!!!!!

Got nawt to share. We are supposed to get snaugh tomorrow. We've had spring weather patterns all winter pretty much and now when I am REALLY ready for SPRING and wanting it here to stay we will probably get 4 weeks of winter LOL That's how it always goes :lol:

You all have yourselves a good day!

Julie--I can't believe you're getting sno!!!! :o And after 70 degree days, too. <_< Glad you checked in :D

Well, Wayne is fixed! He had to have his whoosie-whatsis motor replaced (located behind the freezer) and the drain was plugged (?). The fridge doctor was able to unclog the ice dam and replace the motor in about 20 minutes :D

Will leave the phood in Steve for 24 hours, as he suggested ;)

Now we have to decide if I should change Wayne's name........ :lol: This is getting complicated :P

Woke up a little after midnight and I've been awake since. It's rainy here, with a high probability of snuggly cats. It'd be a perfect day to call in sick......but it wouldn't do me any good in the long run, so may as well go in.

I got NO silly in me a'tall (menstrually depleted <_< ) but that did crack me up! :lol:

Field observations of 653 deer within 50 metres of power lines in the Czech Republic also revealed random orientation.

Okay, okay, let's think, now. . . . .....how can we use this highly researched area of study to help Tareeeeesuh and her plethora of unwanted deer? Perhaps a freakin' enormous magnet clandestinely buried in someone's yard down the street will orient them thattaway. . . ...... :huh:

:lol:

Sooooozie's menstrual. . . . .......large poopy cow. . .....

I say this, and I immediately think of Sarah. :( I wonder how she is doing? Really miss her 'round here. . . . . ... . . ....

      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!
