Hello All . . . I'm back from Illannoy. I've got lots to read and am debating on whether I will read it or not . . . then Susie mentions a Mrs Robinson/man-child topic and so I suppose I shall have to go back to investigate.

But first . . . must do laundry, go grocery shopping, install plant some of me own flowers, make some phone calls . . . would rather go back to bed.

Brian is coming home this Tues. He finally got a physical therapist in our network, and he said Brian needs to find a home and stay there for his

entire PT, which could last into Aug. So that's why he decided it was time to come home. He will be getting a temporary leg soon. He remains in good spirits.

Says his nick-name is 'Stumpy' :rolleyes: .......lordy

Well, Smackl used to want to be called Zap . . . he thought it would make him sound "fast" or sumptin'. Hubby and I told him that you don't get to pick your own nicknames . . . someone gives them to you. We offered to call him Stinky but he didn't take us up on it.

Same goes wif Brian!!! He doesn't get to pick!! I'm sure we sillies can come up wif a good'en!!

How about

Ilene . . . too feminine??

Peg . . . also too feminine??

Weeble . . . cuz they wobble but they don't fall down . . . wait, does he fall down??

Stinky??

Stay cozy under a named blankie. Methinks this is the secret. . . . .. .. .

Gad, I was lookin' at me mailman this morning from a whole different perspective, I'm afraid. He would be, in my estimation, about 28 . . .. . . .... :unsure:

:lol: what ya looking at yer man child mailman for?????

OMG - I DID call my blankie a bobo - but all blankies were called bobos.

and then - my dad started calling his fan Bobo. All the men in my family (and me) slept with fans on, for white noise.....so it was a security blanket of sorts. (I would DIE without me bobo and - all sillies take note - in addition to the lavendar-spritzed sheets I NEED A BOBO fer sleep!!!!!!!!!)

Two things I've learned in the past day and a half:

chickens make a lot of poop.

Chickies want to stand on their water bowl to drink, so ya better have one that'll support the weight of a teen chicken and not tip over.

Hello All . . . I'm back from Illannoy. I've got lots to read and am debating on whether I will read it or not . . . then Susie mentions a Mrs Robinson/man-child topic and so I suppose I shall have to go back to investigate.

Nope - no man-child. that would be my beloved Derek, and I work with him, but NOTHING will ever happen there, poor lad. He DOES want a Mrs. Robinson relationship, though.

what I DID have was a ridiculously heinous date with a Man Boy. A difference. :lol:

Gianknit, glad yer back!!!! we missed you.

Same goes wif Brian!!! He doesn't get to pick!! I'm sure we sillies can come up wif a good'en!!

Hi Jan-it! :D How was yer visit?

Mornin sillies--got nuttin.....pheelin kinda blah. No reason, maybe it's just "Monday".

Bunnie--how do you do your garlic mashed potatoes?

Just dropped 200$ at Tj's on groceries. No biggie, I don't go often so gotta stock up, but it was a HERCULEAN effort getting all that crap in here..... Whew......

Patee, when I'm being lazy I just put alot of garlicpowder in the taters once mashed. When feeling ambitious, I slow-saute a great deal of finely chopped garlic in a great deal of butter then mix that in. I go heavy on the milk n butter n pepper, bit light on the salt. Pan roasted garlic makes em sweet, too. Mmmmm.... Definitely doin that tonight!

Edited to say: Keep in mind, I make a LOT of potatos when i make mashed tatoes, BF is mad for them, so I wouldn't saute a GREAT deal of garlic for just two normal people....

Ah--slow saute-ing the garlic in butter. That sounds so good. I have tried putting a couple cloves of peeled garlic in the cooking water for the potatoes, and that's not bad, but not as flavorful as I'd like. I'm gonna try your way next time :D

Hi Judith!! So happy you got "the cake" :lol: Sounds like it went over big up there, too.

Okay, I'm heading out to the nearest Starbucks (unfortunately, not right around the corner like all the #*!#%!#@* Tim Horton's at every intersection, it would seem) to ask about availability in Canada . .. ....my mom is now eating gluten-free (her blood panel was "inconclusive".....uh huh. . .... <_< ), so it would be nice to be able to go out for an afternoon tea with her and have something like this.

Um - I thought that was quite scary, and he has a Tiny Tim quality to him. It made my cat come running in. :lol:

Speaking of Skittle, we have a catnip update.

      @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

      @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.
