Good Monday mornign sills........though a sad one. :(

100 degrees here today....five better than yesterday. <_< Alas, am possibly heading to foothills today to help feed, as mentioned, about 75 phyrephighters. Now, normally this would sound titillating but.....today, will be about 93 degrees up there :angry: and two,

I'm an old lady now and most of these guys would be just chillens', I'm thinking :lol:

plus I have to take all my own food, AND I'm not camping there overnight so - a drive home late at night, which means little to no wine with the boys around the campfire. :lol:

decisions, decisions.

Emmel, did we come up with costumes yet fer yer scary party?

...and WIH??? was going to list MORE tatt on Ebay but paypal tells me I must 'verify my account' before selling 'owt else

WHY??? ...been buying and selling for YEARS!! ....this has slowed down me plan of MASSIVELY HUGE earnings

I am happy with who I am and want only to be the person my daughter believes me to be :)

Thank goodness I don't have that to live up to; hard enough being the person I believes me to be :huh:

We've run into a huge snag wif the house we're planning to have built :angry:

And, pray tell, when has there evah been a house built that hasn't run into humongous snags?? Coulda told you NOT TO DO THIS (if you had only asked). Talk about major aggravations and marriage breakupstressors--this has to rank right up there, maybe at the top. Two years from now you will look back and laff (if yer lucky). Of course you will probably also have a very nice house (I am sure you will take special care with air conditioning and mold reductionhumidity control :D

Daggone right! I used to be a people-pleasin' doormat.

Now that sounds about as true as a moon made out of cheese.

Suppose I'd have to be the one gagging and barphing from the sidelines to get their attention

Somehow or other that never quite made it onto my list of attention-getting devices :lol: Very cute video though. That barphin' cat was one of mine, I'm sure. She was an expert! Didna know they took lessons in kitteh school.

Well, I thinks I has avoided the dreadful H place with the IV line :) , because my cellulitis has bowed to the onslaught of double doses of flucoxacillin (and so has me stomach , I might add) Take on an empty stomach :huh: :huh: indeed.

Roll on June, because they are predicting more snow within sight of our house today; t'is becoming a very early wintah. And cold!!! Have to go bake some yeast-free bread because Dh has concluded his sinus problems are related to candida and is going on anti-candida foods. He's eaten up all my pineapple already. :( Don't know what that has to do with it, but he assures me it is recommended. Have to watch what I say now because I keep finding him reading celiac.com when I'm not looking.

nighty-night, Tea... :wub:

Well OMG, it's 8:30 and look who's already home. :lol:

My boss, I have figured out, always makes things sound WAY more exciting and fabulous than they really are. :huh:

Um......I drove 90 minutes to get up there (no big deal but the last 30 are on a VERY windy, narrow road - paved, thank God) and........we..........sat................around...........and that's it.

:blink:

I didn't even CARE about the stupid firemen.....there were a smattering of cute ones, but I could hardly be bothered (the cute ones were VERY young, in fact nearly ALL were very young, the old ones looked fat and sloppy - I don't think firemen are as hot as they used to be? :huh: it's just the ones in movies and on TV that are hot <_< )

It was VERY hot, humid, and......I got so antsy, crazed with boredom and discomfort (and all the flies) and had to leave. They were quite puzzled as to why I'd only stay - less than six hours? - but I just HAD to get out of there, can't even EXPLAIN it. But my boss was in the cook trailer the entire time (only room for one in there, and HOT AS BLAZES, his comrade was cooking the civkebs on the grill, the boys were sitting around just staring vacantly, and I just

COULD NAE TAKE IT - gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! :blink:

So driving down the mountain I decided that I just have a really, really low tolerance now - unlike the past - for pain, discomfort, and misery. I want cool cotton sheets, air conditioning, and a shower :lol:

Not to mention good conversation, some yummy g f snacks, decent wine, a lounge chair, and cool breezes when I camp.

Would be nice to have me sills there. Can you imagine? :rolleyes:

very cranky. Off to bed!!!

oh - shroomie!! meant to comment on yer post - where is it??? but very funny, the marriage-wrecking house-building part :o:lol:

(padt! take heed!!!)

g'night sills :)

Good morning, Psills!

Sooozle's Project Phireman was quite disappointing. .. ...I was hoping for a great, rustic, sublime, Steinbeck-ian tale. .. .....instead it was rather Hemingway-ish. ...

Alighted at the scene. . . . ...served the food, reclined and pondered. Descended the mount.

:rolleyes:

And no DH for Mini-minimom! 'Tis fab. But then, what in hell IS it? :huh:

sat in my folding camp chair, stared at my young miscreant colleagues, swattted flies. Surveyed sweltering kitchen trailer and made my egress.

dang!! so quiet in here!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

I awake to one post from em and nuttin' else?

WHERE IS EVERYONE??????

:huh:

gotta go kick Sophie's teacher's ass today. Can't wait. this master teacher is Satan himself.........such a semester she's had. Horrible, miserable, mean-spirited black-souled, sexually harassing, verbally abusive, alcoholic man. It actually made her physically ill, being around him every day - increasingly sick and miserable until she blacked out last week with searing chest pain as she could not describe, and ambulance was called. Did I tell you guys this already?

so - her gallbladder and giant gallstones were removed Friday....she is still in pain with some pyloric ulcer? 'tis EGREGIOUS. :angry:

so - get this - this EEEEEEEEEVILLLLE man (has a vendetta against her due to her WONDERFUL father and requested her as his student teacher <_< ) has now asked that she do lesson plans for the entire rest of the school year (almost a month). Um, the ba$tard's been teaching for 25 years, I'm SURE he doesn't need them. :angry:

So, we're gonig to take in what work she does have (she can nae lift it all) and *I* am going to put my foot down right then and there. *moo hoo ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Should I take the Skull Cracker for extra affect?????

      @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.
