My bubby spoke yiddish--a German dialect--(mum's side is jewish) and when the aunties got together they would swear this way so us kiddies wouldn't know what they were saying.

Wow.. . . ......... . . Yiddish speakers, for whatever the reason, have a whole lot of words for penis... . . . . ...

Hey Sillies,

Back is messed up and being on the computer (my posture or sommat) really antagonizes it so you shall only see me briefly over the next few days.

I think we've hung around each other too much . . . (never!!!) . . . Rachill says sumptin about her thigh and I plan to make a "Jess will rub it" comment and someone (don't know who now) beats me to it!!! Bunnie talks about her poison ivy and I plan to comment on "Who does your rash resemble", and once again, I am beaten to the punch!!!! I think we are all probably starting to look alike, too . . . my hair seems to be curlier than it use to be a couple of years ago.

JoDog's chill pill . . . well, she was still all excited, just clumsier whilst jumping stumbling around . . . I don't think that's the intention!!

Gotta Go. Can't sit in this chair for too long.

Oooooh, Gian0nut! Hope the back pain goes away quickly. Back pain really sucks!

Bunnie...there is a clear Calamine in the bathroom cupboard drug store that works fairly well. I like it 'cause you can't see it! No more going out in public with pink smear all over your skin. I also get the rash by just looking at the plant (or maybe it was DH all of those years ?!)

THAT WAS SO SWEET PATTI. YOUR DAD WILL LOVE IT PART OF YOU'LL THERE IN HIS BOUTONNIERE.

Agree, 'tis a wonderful, sweet gesture. I sympathize with you about missing family phunctions, and missing family. I'm only a days drive from mine (that's the only thing keeping me from moving MUCH farther south!). Sometimes it is hard.

Emser! LOVED the gift idea! Makes me think about christmas gift ideas (Last year I did picture CDISKS, lots of work but great results). I just know your folks are gonna luv it!

Finally caught up again....a never ending process, like laundry/dusting/vacuuming etc....but LOTS more phun! I wandered onto Da Book today....tried to catch up some. Had to exit stage left and shut down in a hurry. Major thunderstorm came rolling through! Too short lived, tho. I really like thunderstorms.

Hey Jude! Glad you were able to crawl up out of the dungeon cellar to play for a few. Hope your doing all right with the packing/cleaning/repairing and not overdoing TOOOO much :) Don't you wish you could just roll up the gardens and pack them along? Maybe you can pack some things in buckets and boxes like I did. My In-Laws laughed and (probably, most likely) decided I was crazy, but I also boxed up several buckets of rocks. Really. I have lots of rocks from hikes and I was not going to leave them behind. Anyway......I can't argue with the crazy part.

Manda....it's downright revolting that you have to deal with so very many shallow, selfish skinflint, uncaring twitchets!!!! Most places have some of them.....but you have so many! :( Do they colonize and inter-breed there? Perhaps that is their natural habitat and is why there are so many in one place? How do you keep your sanity?

My veggie garden is almost all in! Just need to get the sweet potato's in. I planted the melons in the flower beds because I ran out of room! Can't wait.....mmmmmmm, fresh and sweet (with no wax, no unknown, suspicious origins).

Gotta go.....I'll catch up again later.

My dad did a great interview this morning on our big talk-radio station (the one on which he had his morning show), after I emailed the news department and told them about the big 60.

But bigger: I also emailed our Ottawa TV station where he was for most of his career, and they are sending a crew over to my parents' place tonight, when we're all there, for interviews. So heartening, that they are taking the time for a nice little story when there are so many big, awful things happening in the news. :)

You can bet if I get a microphone put in my face I'll be announcing, "Such a happy occasion! Now, I have celiac disease, a chronically underdiagnosed, common and misunderstood illness that one in one-hundred thirty-three unsuspecting viewers of yours has. This needs to be a story". . . . . ...and I will continue until the mic is pulled slowly away. . . .. ....

Emily, that is wonderful! What a sweet and thoughtful daughter you are. The pic. in your av is 'Swell' (isn't that what they used to say?) I mean it, it's really cool. I love those old shots--I've seen one of my grandpa pulling off his best James Dean look for my grandma when they were dating (wwii era).

Happy 60th to them and hope you have a great time, as well!!

Also, what station is this interview for? I get a CBC station here in MI. Probably not the same one?

I just got this in an email and had to share!

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2

years old and had just recovered from an accident. Someone had given me a

little 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought

Daddy a little cup of "tea," which was just water. After several cups of tea

and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. My Dad made her

wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was

"just the cutest thing!" My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down

the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up. Then

she says, (as only a mother would know . . ... )"Did it ever occur to you

that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?"

Almost fits with the topic of discussion, hay?

Been trying to work outside today. COLD this morning and had to go in because it hurt. Later went out....sun, then rain, then sun, then hail, then sun.....really strange weather. So sad to realize I'm too dopey to come in out of the rain. I phinally gave up, and now the suns out! :lol: Hoping tomorrow is as nice as the prediction.

Hope your all having a great day! I'll check back later. And yes...EM ah lie....we need to see the video! All of it! Sounds like it's going to be a great time!

This is CJOH, the Ottawa feed that is a part of the national CTV......I am sure it will be viewable SOMEWHERE on the internet. I will ask the film guy when I see him tonight.

And YES, I will be, in the background, screaming a huge Hellooooooooooooo!!!!! To All the Psillies!!! while my parents are speaking about the secrets of their marriage. . .. . .. :lol:

Ya know, I think we might actually get that here. I will be watching the 10pm Canada news tonight. We are so close to the border, I often watch your news and the BBC, and listen to Canadian radio stations. Your news seems to report our stateside issues a bit more fairly than our own at times--they're not so biased across the bridge(S).

Good luck tonight!

      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.

      @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!

      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?
