If someone has a problem with my looks, it's their problem and not mine! :D Therefore, I have no difficulty with going to the store *fresh* from the garden complete with dirt under my nails and dirt stains on my jeans. If my hair is not perfect...no sweat...I love to wear caps! I save lots of money by not wearing makeup and perfumes. I don't have to impress anyone, I just have to be happy with who I am. I don't have to take (too much) crap from anyone, I have enough crap of my own.

Anyone who is a real and genuinely decent person will see beyond the exterior to the real, wonderful person you are inside. Those are the people who are my friends and who I want to surround me in my (all too short) life. These people can deal with, and even love, my odd quirks, sometimes strange moods, and the whole range of things that make me individual.

Theeeresssa :wub:

What a wonderphul outlook!! Thanks for the uplifting read during me breakphast. :D

Again, I don't get out much

*snort* :lol:

Tis my face on Queen Elizabeth's bod (and note--she, too, has large bosoms). The waddle and smirk? All mine.

Hubby made it for me

makes me OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!!!! and - please note the slight mullet factor - - actual Queen's shorter hair, with Mimmsy's hair hanging beneath - I LURVES IT!!!!!!!!!

Mimms - hope yer day today is better than yesterday, and all inconveniences are but a memory.......

And the rococo thum heads!!!

Can we all lift our skirts like the Madonna dancers on MTV??

We gotta show off our sparkles

Roccocco Thumb Heads!!!!!!!!! :lol: <newest band name>

Psuess....in order to age gracefully (at least without screaming and tearing out the hair) is to look for the advantages. There are many! While I have never been "beautiful", I realize at this time in my life that I never will be, and don't have to be concerned about it anymore. I don't have to care.

Tea - this is SUCH a great outlook.......I'm just not there yet. :( wish I were....it's kind of complicated and has much to do with.....the emphasis in my home, growing up :blink: too deep to share here, however.

Psuess....I have to admit it takes practice! EVERY family is disfunctional (unless you are already beyond this world). I used to be a real mouse, trying to please everyone and turn myself inside out in the effort. (Have you ever seen an inside-out mouse? Not a pretty site!) I got tired of being a doormat for every phool who had radar for people like me. Loving yourself, forgiving yourself is an ongoing effort......practice, practice, practice! :lol::lol:

PS.....try new experiences. Sometimes you get a whole new way of seeing things. Like the philosophers say.....who says that something shaped like a table is necessarily a table? If you'd never seen one before...who knows what use you could find for it! Take fresh looks at everything. Use your artistic talents for find new ways at looking at things, including yourself. You are a beautiful person, my lady. PFFFFFFTTTT!!! to anyone who can't see that! :P

'Nuff for todays lecture. Perfesser TED is going back to housework now.

PPS....Psuess.....you are no longer a child growing up in that dysphunctional setting. You have come waaaayyy beyond that! Let it go, move on, love the life you've been given and make it your own!

Hey Bunnyrabbitt! I was on steroids just once. Doc thought it would help tendonitis (I was having problems with lots of inflammation in lots of places :( ) I had a severe allergic reaction and thought I was literally going to die! Probably wasn't smart, but I stopped cold and tossed them all. They are so nasty, I would tell anyone to be cautious, and only to consider them a last alternative. I guess many people take them safely...hope they are helping you. Take care!

They actually put me on steroids because I had sumac (not ivy) and it was all over my face and neck and my throat started to close so I couldn't breathe, so steroids STAT. Probably not the kinda doses you'd use for tendonitis though, doesn't take much to kick a poison sumac rash. The benadryl wasn't working too.

Sorry, sorry! I was caught up making tonight's dinner, which was crispy coconut chicken with maple mashed sweet potatos. I'm sure you're not interested in that....

So the beef stuff! Two pounds o beef, huge pile of diced onion, 3 ripe avocados (woulda been 4 but #4 bit the dust) and a big scoop of sour cream. Brown beef and onion, I put the onion in first for a while with butter so it would be nice and sweet and squishy. Browned up the beef w/ the onion, added garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin. Smushed the avocados and mixed in sour cream, garlic powder & lemon juice. Which makes a fabulous veggie dip by its lonesome, then stirred into the beef stuff (did NOT drain beef, left the juice) and made mushy beef stuff A La Bunnie! It was FREAKIN DELICIOUS. Perfect with salty corn chips, and also very good cold the next day. Only thing I don't like about cold beef dips is the beef gets kinda tough and hurts my teeth, so I heated it up a bit for lunch. Just as good the next day, the avocado didn't turn at all. Would be perfect with cheesy refried beans & rice, but ran out of time.

I'm off to bed! I get up at 4:30..... yawn...... :blink:

      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

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/
