I set up on da book (WIH?? I swore I'd never do that).

Raye-chull. . . . ........you would absolutely NOT believe the things that bumbling, unknowing innocents have found themselves doing once caught in the world of Psillyville. . . . . . . ......consider this a mere, mild initiation test that you have passed. . . . .....

:lol:

<n.b. If ever in this sit you ashun again,...please knock back the glass of wine IN ONE afor ye leave ;) >

Mygawd, yes.....even if it is swill .. . .......

Really??...... looks really cosy.....what's your blankie called???

Mine's called Tiger Pig (TP for short)

<WOT??? :unsure: .. Doesn't everyone name their blankies???>

I believe I did name my li'l, shredded blankie that I dragged about as a four-year old.

I named it.. . . . . . .wait fer it. . . . . ....

LISGAR.

:lol::lol:

Do not remember why.

My parents say that I just proclaimed it as blankie's name one day.

I see you did not use yer Queen portrait on da book :P Wise move :lol:

Gah! Decidedly NOT a wise move, Rayechull! Put that regal, stamp-worthy portait up on da book.. . . . .....it really should be on an American stamp. :huh::lol:

....but if I remember rightly didn't you have a high functioning womb before it was 'yanked'???

Couldn't it knit AND play the piano before it became completely HYSTERical?? :unsure:

Holy crap! How on earth did I ever miss such staggering information?? Patteigh's uterus could KNIT and PLAY PIANO?? Hell. . . . . ........ .now that would have been the youtube miscellaneous clip of the year. . . .. .... .. . :lol:

Finally did a real walk after slacking for months, and the alpacas are NEKKID!! Poor wee, chilled things.

Jyess! Hope the poor things are not hanging out near that cemetery with the sudden cold winds blowing through. . .. . ..

.....he wrote a really perky, nice, friendly "I just don't believe in all the things you do, :blink: but I think we can be great friends...

Hmm...he seems not to believe in caring about any details, large or small, regarding anyone other than himself. Yep, iI say he doesn't believe in the same things as you, Sooooze. . . . ..... <_<:rolleyes:

OMG - gardeners are here

Whup! Li'l, Hispanic ones? :unsure:

:rolleyes:

CAN YOU BELIEVE she didn't take me.....I sent you 200 text messages from the plane. I am now outside yer house peeking in yer window ;)

Good mornin' Psillies. I is sitting here with a big sausage bandage on me (surfin') arm all because of an itsy bitsy peelback of skin which ended up as cellulitis. Ackshully, looks more like a stuffed rolled lamb roast because they put one of 'em netting thangs on it.

OH NO Ray-chull. I'm so sorry- had it on my foot about 4 years ago....watch it very carefully. Tis a nasty infection. POOPY COW!

I want Bunnie as my chef!!!!!!!!!!

EMMEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Yes - I WILL just wear a giant feather head-dress from now on, thereby deflecting attention AWAY from me hair.....makes perfect sense :lol:

SILLIES!!!!!!! had the most disastrous date ever last night - - with the expensive cognac-buyer........dear gawd - - as some of you already know from FAcebook, I walked out after 1.25 hours in......it was NOT a pretty scene........lamest situation EVER :blink:

Susie- We must get you gluten-free penni pasta :lol: Sorry about yer date. You should have worn the Geronimo headdress- then YOU could have phinished yer glass of wine in peace!

I'm on FaceBook and I'm still confused. Apparently Susie's date stank in more ways than one???

He smelled bad too? Now that's just wrong. Smelly texting self-centered toad!

Like Paddeigh, I too would have walked out!

We had some interesting weather this morning. At around 9 o'clock, the sky darkened. It got so dark it was like it was the middle of the night. Then a major hailstorm moved through. Here's a picture of the store parking lot after the storm passed. Hailstones an inch in diameter around here, but larger ones were reported in some parts of the city. Four hours have passed, and Caramel is still freaked. The noise was incredible, between the hail and the accompanying thunder.

THAT IS CRAZY- wonder if it will head our way......wow!

Getting ready for the party tonight........who's coming?

I'm going to take my mom to Starbucks tomorrow for a mother's day coffee. I so rarely buy myself coffee, or drink it at all.....this is quite an event for me. I do know that I LOVE Starbucks blend, so much more than any other out there.

So, I will ask them if there's any news on the gluten-free treat coming up here.

We are SO slow, SO behind everywhere else with cool, imaginative products. ..... :angry:

T'is lunchtime here now by the time I got through wif readin' all the psillyness. And t'is raining down here but just a ways away it is snowing up on the hills we look at across the gully canyon when we can see 'em thru the rain. And the harbour is full of cloud and no sailboats today for sure. Brrrr. Getting to be time to fly north for sure.

A few snippets wot caught me fancy:

"Well, at least it was just a glass of wine . . . . .....actually, I would have stayed had it been a shot o' that $$$cognac$$$ sitting in front of me. Sipping it slowly, revelling in its fiery warmth as the silence spreads around the table. . ......feeling the lovely burn down my throat as the background noise stops and starts, a voice I can push away, a droning, self-absorbed, childish monologue from a money-dropping boy-man.. . . ..... ..."

:lol: :lol: :lol:

What a pathetic poor wee man-boy. And trying to buy girls with his $$$cognac$$$!! You shoulda known, Soozle. Well, you did know, but you went anyway??? :unsure: :unsure:

"....but if I remember rightly didn't you have a high functioning womb before it was 'yanked'???

Couldn't it knit AND play the piano before it became completely HYSTERical?? unsure.gif"

Now dis is heelairyus! :lol: :lol:

"Twas poor wee Shroomie wif the cellulitis, if I remember correctly. sad.gif Had it wrapped up like a sausage......"

"OH NO Ray-chull. I'm so sorry- had it on my foot about 4 years ago....watch it very carefully. Tis a nasty infection. POOPY COW!"

Struth, Shroomie no be Ray-chull. Her head be way too big for such a wee crown anyway. Well, the cells is still ulitising away but t'is not spreading (well not very much anyway). Taking those horrible flucoxacillin on an empty stomach!! but can't handle it; have to have a spoon or two of yogurt first or my stomach lining burns up. They check it again tomorrow. T'is a real POOPY COW x100, cos here I am suppressing me immune system with Humira while trying to fight off infection :unsure: :unsure:

"a PRINCE!!!!!! where is he??????????? But a really low-profile prince.....I'm too reclusive to be subjected to the media er summat"

Surely Good Queen Ray-chull can produce a prince or two for you to choose from; I don't think she has had her womb yanked :unsure:

"Have never named a blankie in my life, in fact, and don't know anyone who has, until YOU. Am quite charmed by it. laugh.gif "

Don't think I ever even had a blankie (that's probubly my problum), only imaginary friends. :lol: My sister used to go out to the clothes line to rub her face with her wet blankie :lol:

"Also, did I tell you that they give wine samples at our grocery store? Nice touch! rolleyes.gif"

Good golly, they is only now getting around to this? This is the main reason for grocery shopping, espeshyally when they have five or six different kinds to taste. And then I has to drive home over the hill :blink:

Ditto on the 'whirleybirds'. We throw 'em in the air and watch them fly down--only works when they're dried out, though.

My blankie has no name, but my pillow did. My favorite pillow when I was young was called "squishy". I couldna sleep wif out it.

Glad Shroomie's OK. Always so nice to read her posts!

No--not squeezin' out a prince--not even for Suze. Deze ova's is old and cranky. So is dis psilly.

The picture shows a Toyota 4Runner in the upper left corner. It now has a slightly "textured" hood. It could have been a lot worse. It is nine years old so the impact (PUN?) is minimal. :D

It seems that the worst of it was centered on Yonge and Lawrence here in Toronto. The store is five very short blocks north from there. The front was heading in your direction, but it sounds like it has petered out. :P

      @catnapt,  I apologize.  Obviously I've confused you with someone else.  I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications.  Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.   You still have not said which new medication you started taking.  Parathyroid disorders can affect antibody production.  Bone Loss Correlated with Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Adult Celiac Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36619734/ Effect of vitamin B1 supplementation on bone turnover markers in adults: an exploratory single-arm pilot study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12075007/

      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        
    • knitty kitty
      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?
    • catnapt
      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 🤔

      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.
