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:

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:

No hail here, POeter. . .......looks like we dodged that bullet. Whew... .....

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

Peter, you just crack me up sometimes :P

We do aim to please. :)

Hey, even oracles can have off days (or is that days off?). :unsure:

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

      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
