Aw Pah-tay!! Anyone who has been loved by a pet knows how hard it is to say goodby! The decision that you had to make is probably the hardest decision ever made by anyone. You will have him with you as part of you as long as you live. You will look for him, expecting to see him there and then remember.....and it will feel so empty and hard. Just remember that it's not really empty, you just can't hug and hold the memory on the outside.....you have to hug that warm little glow in your heart.

I'm not sure that all made sense, but I hope you know what I mean.

Not staying to play. I only pooped in to catch up. Some of my family is here (mom and dad and older sis.) I'm too tired to play right now. Hope you're all shining where ever you all are! :D

Well, I'll tell you what I am strongly suspecting:

Olympia Dukakis placed them there.

I'm so very sad--I can't believe he's gone, but in my heart I know that we did what was best for him. He had a good life, was pampered beyond belief--but at the same time he brought so much joy to our family. We loved him.

Patti, I am so sad for you.......I just read about Allo in other people's quotes as I hadn't caught up.

However, I think that what you said summed it all up pretty nicely. He lived in lots of great places, and had the best mama a kitty could ask for.

Work has been stressful for a while. Had a bit of a breakdown. Cried for hours. but, of course, since no one was in the lab working but me, it was quite private. May have quit. Sent an ambiguously worded email to the boss (who is again out of town) that I just couldn't do it. Not really sure what I will do. Can't really afford to quit, but don't know how to make myself go back.

I just don't know.

Jess--I could tell there was something up lately (even though we only communicate this way, I could still tell).

((((HUG))))

I think it's good that you got it out--is there a possibility that this email will open up communication between you and your boss? What I do know is that you're a brilliant, kind, outstanding woman who is very loyal and works hard and doesn't deserve to have to feel this way.

I know you sent out resume(s)--any word there?

Take care of yourself tonight--get some rest. I'm just so sorry you are upset. :(

Good Mornin', Peeps!

Aw, Jyess.. . . .. :( Nothing is more stressful than trouble at work, a place that full-timers inhabit forty hours a week. That's a huge chunk of our lives. I do so hope that things get ironed out, or that you find something else.....if anything, I would suspect that potential employers would fight over you, and even be intimidated by your capabilities.

Boy, it was a day of tears yesterday, wasn't it?

All right, so here is an excellent thing I spotted in a hilarious little book entitled The Worst Case Scenario - - Pocket Guide to New York City that Sophie brought back from her trip for me:

Signs It's time to Leave a Taxi

-Driver asking you for directions

-Strong odor

-Taxi filling with smoke, flames

-Taxi going 50+ miles above speed limit, up on two wheels

-Banging, cries for help coming from trunk

-Driver texting

-Driver vomiting

-Driver drinking out of paper bag

-Driver sobbing, expressing loss of will to carry on

:lol:

Thanks Patti. I sorta cried all night, so I do look delightful this morning. I have to go in to finish the assay I started yesterday. No matter how upset I am I can't throw $3K down the drain because I 'didn't feel like it'. Once that's done I'll just leave. After that, I don't know.

On the up side, Lefty has no idea why his services as a stuffed animal are suddenly in such demand, but he's more than happy to provide. :)

They will find themselves very sorry to have lost you--this I know. There comes a point where being this miserable just isn't worth it, there surely is another company/school/position that needs and will appreciate you.

Hang onto Lefty--this is going to sound trite as hell but I firmly believe that when a door closes, a window opens. I've seen it happen many times. ;)

Well, I'm such a frickin' Pollyanna that I think that adversity is a way to steer you towards something better that you wouldn't have otherwise found. I just hope I find it soon -- I'm not overly fond of the adversity part of the equation.

Before I forget. ABC ran a promo for "Flash Forward" last night during the "Grey's Anatony" finale. They seem to be promoting it quite a bit!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @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.

Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      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...

      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 +

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.

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
