The temperature has risen slightly, the sky has darkened and a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. The wind has picked up, and I hear thunder in the west. We have taken cover indoors.

Tis a loverly afternoon here. It's sunny and 27oC (80oF), and we are sitting out on the deck munching nachos & cheese.

The temperature has risen slightly, the sky has darkened and a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. The wind has picked up, and I hear thunder in the west. We have taken cover indoors.

Wow, how quickly this spring weather changes, huh? I think you are now getting the storm system that passed through here earlier...it was 70 mile an hour winds, heavy rain, and hail a few hours ago. Run for cover, Peter!

Just got home from work. You would think that I'd had enough typing and computers whilst there, but nae--came home and logged right in :P I worked on an Excel spreadsheet all day to get our receivables more organised...blah, blah, blah. So boring, I'm putting MYSELF to sleep.

Your weather is coming here late tonight, POeter....we are supposed to get thunderstorms after midnight. We'll be hearing the cracking and rushing wind in the wee hours. . . . ... :)

Prufrock--Poppycock!!

And I have known the arms already, known them all

Arms that are white and braceleted and bare,

[but in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!]

Hey! I do believe Eliot, in his very masterpiece, has spoken subtly of our Soooozle!

:lol:

Raechull! Sorry to hear you is down. . . . .....All right, so yesterday, when I was waiting with my dad at the hospital, after we'd been sitting for a while he suddenly said, "Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories". . . ......

:huh:

Now, if he'd mentioned chin hair... :rolleyes:

Good joke from yer Pa. My friend's dad used to say, "It's rainin' cats and dogs--I just stepped in a poodle"

Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk.

If you want to know why I'm down, it's this grand Michigan living. Every day I talk to people who have lost their jobs, their homes are in foreclosure, they are on food stamps, or unemployment. Or worse--they have a job that only pays about $8 an hour (me, for one). These are highly skilled workers, professionals, people with college degrees and families (including me). I try to help if I can, but that's not saying a lot. There's just not much beyond a kind word and a coupon, and some volunteering, that I can do--if Chrysler goes under, it's curtains around here.

So, I smile for people, try not become murderous when they push too hard, and pretty much find the humor in it. But, somedays are diamonds, some days are coal.

Well, that and, I'm PMSing. And the rats are gnawing on me tendons again.

Alright, enough. Whoa is we, blah, blah, blah--yaddah freakin yaddah.

How is Judy doing with the porch?

How is Suze doing with the post brandied cloves hangover? Sleep well, darlin?

How is Patty doin with the cheese? You must be beyond thrilled. Hats off to you for your commitment all these years to eating for your health. You are an inspiration!

Actually, all of you are--to me. I mean that :wub:

Peter, hope you have a sump pump and an umbrella.

Bev, wishing you big blue butterflies of happiness this May!

Emily, you make me aspire to write well again.

It's a really scary time..... . .. .. :( . . .. . .....especially in the auto industry. Thinking about you guys, Raechull.....Up here, Windsor has been devastated by the recession/depression. So many young families suddenly wondering how they are going to keep their houses, get their groceries....

Gah. Need to call my dad and tell him to make me larf. . . . ....

Ah...from "Rainy Days and Mondays". :rolleyes: Nuttin like The Carpenters when you pheel down.

Just got caught up.....Em--I did wonder about yer dad since I thought his surgery was to be done this appointment. Glad all is well and he's set to go in and have it taken care of. :)

My sympathies, Minimom :( The economy has been rough, and no place knows that better than where you are.

Judith got the paintin' done!! Hopefully you can just sit tomorrow and look at what a phine job you did :D

Has Soozle checked in? :unsure:

We took a lil ride this afternoon--went in a different direction in an effort to get familiar wif this huge place. Warm and humid--hair is gigantic :lol: It was sunny and sprinkling earlier--I looked fer a rainbow, but couldn't see one.

Stay dry, PeOter--and you guys too later, Emmel.

Had wine wif dinner--just one glass, though B)

Yeah.....before our.....what do I call it?.........nightmare?..........we were discussing how were we going to make it thru this summer. Brian's company supplies bearings to the auto industry and his job has had many cutbacks. It's been harder and harder for us to keep afloat. It's rather ironic that we may come out ahead after all is said and done.

Brian has a dismemberment clause on his life insurance, and when he told me how much they'll be paying us for his leg, I said, "Gee....I wonder how much they'd pay for the rest of you!" :P

Nice!......My DD bought one on e-bay several years ago. I once had a hearing-impaired student who was in orchestra...middle school....so I borrowed the violin and learned right along with him. Probably forgot most of it by now.

Do you play?

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
