Lots o' wind and power fluctuations here. A light that I thought was burned out and just haven't bothered to change just started working again. :o

Coincidence?? I think not. Clearly the spirit of some past lightbulb has been blown into my house and taken up residence in the empty lightbulb casing.

'Tis kleerly a case of paranormal elektrik fenomena!!! I used to have a thing with street lights. When I drove by, walked by, went anywhere near them....with alarming regularity they would blink out. Happened so often I had to wonder......but what did it mean? :huh::unsure:

Can't say if it still would happen.....as street lights are far away, and I rarely drive at night anymore. Perhaps I have some huge reserve of Psykik Powers that I don't know how to use :lol::lol:

Hope all is well in Psillyville. BTW.....how is SamHillManhead these days? He was phun!

Spring birdies have been arriving. We have Rufus sided Towhees, Baltimore Orioles (1 pair that we know of), RedHeaded Woodpeckers (4 of them), Indigo Buntings, lots of Warblers passing through, I'm hearing a Thrush in the woods, and a Thrasher. So much fun to see and try to get pictures of! This year I've decided to put oranges out for the Orioles. Didn't take them long to find it (brings them down from the treetops and closer to the house). Realized that lots of other birds like them too.

I lurve the (non-car-type) birdies . . . got a pair of extremely vocal house wrens moving into the bird house outside my kitchen window as I type. Perhaps you recall that my stalker bird was a house wren . . . realllllly hard for me too tell if he's one of the pair. I shall assume that he is as it is the perfect location for a stalker!!

Went for a little bit of a boat ride last night (brrrrrr chilly). Neighbors got a boat about a month ago (passed down from the hubby's dad) so we took the kids out to the middle of the reservoir and drifted around, admired the poor folks lake front houses and ate some supper. Neighbor's hubby was letting all the kids putter about drive :o with Smackl being the oldest of the lot but as no one else was out, not much trouble for them to get in to.

Hey, Gang!

Must go do sumfin'... . .. . ..physical.. . . .. late night full o' food I couldn't touch, then some I could and which I inhaled.. . .. fantastic Chilean white, hockey dads with interesting thumbs. ...... ..then party number two, quiet, artsy pholk with stories about existential travels, birthing in a bathtub, the last Marxist symposium in our fair city...... . .. .

The second location brought me somewhat close to drunkedness. . . .. . :rolleyes:

But NO squillion-dollar cognac!!! Soooozle, that is something worth remembering, even if the bloke ends up a needy, pestering sociopath-stalker. . . . ... :lol:

Big Fluffy Helmet...dey used to pass those out in health class, din't dey?

:lol:

Hey! They make fluffy ones? With different pile lengths, I'd imagine. . . ..

So what's a little stalking amongst lovers? You probably won't even notice when he goes through your garbage...

but what is Jose the teeny gardener going to say? Poor guy, his widdle 'eart will be bwoken :(

That poor teeny Hispanic man. He may come in handy, SOoooze, if he is obsessed with you. He can keep an eye on the stalker, jump out in front of him as he begins to rummage quietly through your garbage, li'l pitchfork in hand.. . . . . .....

And there I am, 17 years older than she, wearing loose-fitting top and baggy pants, with a distinct and unwanted bit of phrizz to me hair.

So why dinna you burst into song, Ms. Boyle?? :lol:

Jyess has weird, ghostly things happening. . . ... . .this type of occurrence follows you, Jyesssss...remember those odd, cold breezes that envelop you when you walk by that graveyard. .. . . . . .

Well, my first venture of the day was to run outside in my all-together and chase away the coyote.

I'm beginning to think that the difference between predator and prey is the firm knowledge that you will win this, as both of us were convinced this morning that that puppy was going down if he didn't scurry.

Now the cats are all upset and growling and I am just starting my second cup o' coffee.

But since I still have all my cats AND coffee, it seems it's going to be a fine day. :)

why DIDN"T I burst into song? :lol: I have done it many times.......hair WOZ rather Boyle-ish........

As Jenn just reminded me, the best part of the whole incident, its glaring juxtaposition:

"We were in a broken-down dirty pub drinking Louis Tres....."

(I love how she knows its nickname - this is what Diddy calls it :lol: )

:lol:

I'm sure that I if ran outside in my all-together more than just coyotes would be scared away.

gahhhhhh! :lol: I hear ya! And it would be even SCARIER because we don't have any coyotes here *snigger*

Well - Jenn has strongly advised me against going on ANY date with this new psychopath guy - - he has sent about 25 texts total, even after I asked him not to :blink:

and said texts are displaying psychotic, needy, desperate attachment issues.......

:rolleyes:

Today's crockpotting adventure is:

sweet potatoes with ginger, granny smith apples, a little onion, and cooked in sweet red wine (what else). I'm debating adding mango when it's mostly cooked.

(yesterday's adventure was a pot roast sorta thing, for those of yu keeping track)

Dunno how I ever lived without one of these things.

Ya know...I used to have a thing with alcahol. Every time I'd drink a fifth, I'd break out in handcuffs!? :blink:

Now fer the :angry: news....we have no internet at home till freakin Wednesday afternoon

Ee, gads, woman. What ever will we you do??

Luvved it! Wish I had such talent. When I break out into song (and I do, quite regularly) people tend to get these thinly veiled, polite little smirks on their faces :unsure:

But do I care? Naught.

Love me, or leave me. Cuz I's still gonna sing :rolleyes:

P Diddy???? My husband cannae stand the man. I bought him Diddy's expensive cologne and he lurved it til he found out who made it. Threw it away. Unforgivable.

Sounds like a HEMINGWAY opener...

"She was in a broken down, dirty little pub dringing Louis Tres. A man approached and offered her a clove. Gladly accepting this rare opportunity, she little knew that three days hence he would change her life beyond measure. Gone were the mellaluca plants and short Mexican men of her past. From Monday e'er on, she would drink deeply of the mystery of love."

No?

OK. From one be-stalked to a nutter--lose him. He sounds like the type that actually will go through your garbage and call your mother's private phone, and go through your car, and send falsified e-mails to your boss. Run, stage your own funeral, tell him you prefer the company of sane Mexican gardeners and have joined the peace corps.

well, this is the sad part. He is ADORABLE. really. Very much my type, very sweet, educated (received two college scholarships) but not overly so, very warm, very funny and amiable and......I was getting about as wackl and silly as I could be, just so giddy from my miniscule portion of the Liquid of Love, and he thought I was the funniest thing ever (I wasn't even really using my inside voice :lol: as Fluff had to remind me )

So - this CUTE GUY (raised in Detroit until he was 13, Mimms!!!!!!!!) told us nearly immediately that he had no family...his mom died when he was 13......he doesn't know who his real father is and.....his story is like that one from "The Boy Called 'It'" :(

It's too big a project - I can nae handle it - - too bad.

Damn. He thought I was real purty.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
