Uncle Ray shall cheer us all!!!!!!!!

A WOMAN'S POEM:

Before I lay me down to sleep,

I pray for a man who's not a creep,

One who's handsome, smart and strong.

One who loves to listen long,

One who thinks before he speaks,

One who'll call, not wait for weeks.

I pray he's rich and self-employed,

And when I spend, won't be annoyed.

Pull out my chair and hold my hand.

Massage my feet and help me stand.

Oh send a king to make me queen.

A man who loves to cook and clean.

I pray this man will love no other.

And relish visits with my mother.

A MAN'S POEM:

I pray for a deaf-mute gymnast nymphomaniac with

big breasts who owns a bar on a golf course,

and loves to send me fishing and drinking. This

doesn't rhyme and I don't care

Thought I heard scared chicken noises about 3:30 this morning so I leap out the window and go running across the lawn in my bare feet and jammies. Chickies are fine, but somehow difficult to go back to sleep after that.

Wow rache - having to deal with actual people on a daily basis. I couldn't do it. I'd a been fired, or slapped, on my very first day.

Must have more coffee. Still a bit bleary.

You jumped out the window at 3:30am????? You're like a superhero er sumfin :rolleyes:

Glad the peepers are OK.

Oh, wait--maybe it WAS a peeper, peekin' in your window making fake chick sounds :unsure:

And yeah--I do tend to piss people off pretty regularly. I kind of have a reputation for dripping sarcasm, cutting humor, and severe drama (they don't call me "The Queen" for nuthin ;) ).

I feel so changed by all of this.....I want me back!!!

Hoof and Mouth disease

I told one man last weekend that I could continue to play mommy as long as he insisted on acting like a little boy.

Theresa, you are so very eloquant "discarded in the dust of yesterday"--beautiful words and good advice :)

Yes, send hoof and mouth disease to terrorists :lol:

I LOVED your cretin man story. He surely deserved it and more--the bastitch. I would love to have seen the look on the poor guy's face after your retort :lol:

WHOT is with that picture of the queen's 'ead?

love to my sills, I am COMPLETELY and TOTALLY and UTTERLY without mojo, humoUr, or anything good presently.

Sisyphean. Everything is sisyphean, I"m thinking.

Susan B!!!!! Mojoless. Down & out in Beverly Hills. So sad. :( Get you some HAPPY, girl.

Quit pushin' that load up the mountains of Hades.

Yes, what IS with that fake queenly wig in that pic? :blink:

The pholks at the booze mart are still working at their jobs. Their strike deadline in June 24. They aren't CUPE, but rather OPSEU (who represent most provincial employees).

But CUPE are rattling their swords in the City of Toronto, where they are threatening to walk out. That could cause a big stink, because the garbage collectors are included. I live outside the city proper, but our place of business is in Toronto.

:lol: over "the big stink" :lol: But, man that does stink--no garbage collection?! Yikes!

K, two things.

One, I think all that's necessary to send to the Taliban is Celiac and poison sumac. If we send them girly problems, we send them girly parts, which means they'd be HAPPY. Course, then maybe they'd spend all their time doing that and leave us alone....

Two, I really sympathize for you Mimms. I know how tough it is to deal with difficult customers, I've worked in the hotel biz for years. Just imagine how much worse it can be when your customers are also trying to sleep with you? You wouldn't believe how many people actually think hotel staff is into that stuff, like we come with the room rate.... Remember, it can always be worse. Annoying mean druggie lady could also want to sleep with you.

Gahhh!!!!!

:lol::lol::lol:

Fell over laughing at the THOUGHT!

I heard this morning about the deadline being the 24th.....I went to the LCBO and picked up seven 2L bottles of wine. Gotta be ready.

Hey! Have you heard about Queen Rayechull's breasts? It's highly likely that her customers are also regularly lecherous, on top of everything else.

Way to prioritise, Em (let's see...we need food milk wine. Yes, LOTS of wine.) ;):lol:

My mom always, always told me I was "well rounded and firmly packed". Kind of adds a new dimension to the whole overnight delivery "Pack & Ship Promise", eh? :rolleyes:

And Nikki voted today. Good girl! Did you get a fancy sticker or a coffee coupon, like we do when we vote?

Beverly!!!! OMG, just spotted your compare and contrast poetry. Hee-lare-yus :lol:

Patteigh! You asked about my dad a page or two back: Jack and I went to see him this eve. He is having his second surgery on June 23rd. A long wait... . . . such is our free healthcare system. He has been in the hospital for seven weeks, and it could be another seven to come - - THANK GAWD it's free!! <_<

Something amazing: The nurse that is caring for him this shift is a lovely older lady, and she told me that she cared for my dad when he was in the hospital here in Ottawa for ten months back IN 1963 :o .... . . . . . my family was in a horrific car accident (before my time), and she nursed him, my mom and sister. I thought this was so incredible - - they meet again, forty-six years later, in the same roles.

She remembers him doing his morning radio show from his hospital bed, from nine to noon, Monday to Friday. . . .quite the story, and something never done before nor since - - the station installed all this wiring and speakers down the hospital corridoors, and Dad wrote his scripts and notes with a pen taped to his crushed hand . .. ....he would wear his mic tied around his neck, and guests would plant themselves beside his hospital bed and Eastern Ontario would continue to roar with laughter.

Ten months he lay there and did this.. .....! Boy, those were the days, when bureaucracy stepped aside and let this happen.

The show must go on! :)

Think I'll have a glass o' that plethora of wine sitting in my liquor cabinet. .. .... . .anyone care to join me?

My gawd Em, that is the coolest thing I've ever heard! :D What a great story. Yer dad sounds like just the most fascinating man--one in a million. And you, me phriend, are a chip off the ole' block. ;)

I'm so sorry that he has to wait so long for his surgery this time, though. Doesn't seem right. :( Definitely keep us posted....do they ever move someone ahead due to cancellations?

My kind a gal!!!! I love sarcastic humor.....but it seems that not too many people really appreciate understand it <_<

Theresa, you are so very eloquant "discarded in the dust of yesterday"--beautiful words and good advice :)

Uh huh. That's me.....slove and de-bon-haier

Yes, send hoof and mouth disease to terrorists :lol:

I LOVED your cretin man story. He surely deserved it and more--the bastitch. I would love to have seen the look on the poor guy's face after your retort :lol:

He pretty much backed down at this point. Keep in mind I was in uniform at the time. His wife/or female friend was pretty horrified and was begging him to stop and behave :lol:

My mom always, always told me I was "well rounded and firmly packed". Kind of adds a new dimension to the whole overnight delivery "Pack & Ship Promise", eh? :rolleyes:

Isn't that a song? So round, so firm so fully packed! I'm more like the song "bony maroney". At least...I used to be.

And Nikki voted today. Good girl! Did you get a fancy sticker or a coffee coupon, like we do when we vote?

Heyyyy!!!! I never get any fun stickers or coffee, or lollipops or nuthin for voting. Not fayer

Beverly!!!! OMG, just spotted your compare and contrast poetry. Hee-lare-yus :lol:

Too much to comment on here.....so I railroaded it and inserted at will. Hope you don't feel violated......you were askin for it.....I could tell you wanted it..... :P:ph34r:

Em n Em...that IS quite a story. Your Dad is truly amazing. I just can't believe all that the poor guy has to go through. I shudder at the thought that this country would even consider social medicine. On paper it's ideal....but the reality would be just like all of the horror stories we hear about those who have put it into practice.

Kin hardly keep me peepers open....so off to bed. Got a song stuck in my head that just has to be put outside for the night......"Mama told me not to come.....Mama told me not to come.....that aint the way to have fun...son." Have no freekn idea where that came from!!!!

Nite all!

jerseyangel Proficient

Thanks a lot, T.....now I can't stop humming it :lol:

....that ain't the way to have fun--son.....that ain't they way to have fun--no uh uh.....

I saw Three Dog Night in concert back in '72. :rolleyes:

:( Definitely keep us posted....do they ever move someone ahead due to cancellations?

Yep, it does happen. And this surgery will only be about twenty minutes, not the three-hour matinee from last month .. ....so a better chance of getting it suddenly squished into the schedule early. .. . . .

....that ain't the way to have fun--son.....that ain't they way to have fun--no uh uh.....

Gotta love it all!! Didn't we have some GREAT music? I had an 8-track of 3Dog.....wore it out, I did!

"Well I never been to Spain, but I kinda like the music. Well the Ladies are insane there, but they sure know how to use it. They don't abuse it, never gonna lose it, I can't refuse it." Maybe I'll play that 8 track in my head at work today....surely will improve they day!!!

"Lucretia McEvil...woman what's your game?" hehheh :P

I'm not ashamed to admit that this was my time....for I am timeless. Uhhh, or maybe it was the music that is timeless.

However the day shapes up, hope it's cheery for all of you!

OMG..... . I could be in trouble. An old, dear friend of mine is in town for a week at a conference. She will be staying with us for three nights, come Sunday. Right now she is staying at the downtown Westin, attending meetings and presentations on blood transfusions (she's head of laboratory medicine at UBC, and STILL a good friend! <_<:rolleyes: ). Well, we went downtown to meet her for dinner, and it has all come back to me - - she can drink me under the table, talk me into a corner, dance me into the ground. .. . . . ...

And she'll be staying with me for three nights!

Please, someone......come searching for me if there is no signal from elye over the next few days. . . ....

Been reading along, and I also see that I have like......a MILLION things sent to me on facebook

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again. Science-y Explanation of Thiamine Paradox: https://hormonesmatter.com/paradoxical-reactions-with-ttfd-the-glutathione-connection/#google_vignette

      Your goal is not to be a good puppet, there is no gain in that. You might want to restart the ones that helped.  It sounds more like you are suffering from malnutrition.  Gluten free foods are not fortified with things like Thiamine (B1), vitamin D, Iodine, B1,2,3,5,6 and 12 as non-gluten free products are required to be. There is a Catch-22 here.  Malnutrition can cause SIBO, and SIBO can worsen malnutrition. Another possibility is side effects from any medication that are taking.  I was on Metformin 3 months before it turned me into a zombi.  I had crippling side effects from most of the BP meds tried on me, and Losartan has many of the side effects on me from my pre gluten free days. Because you have been gluten free, you can test and talk until you are blue in the face but all of your tests will be negative.  Without gluten, you will not create the antigen against gluten, no antigens to gluten, so no small intestine damage from the antigens.  You will need to do a gluten challange to test positive if you need an official diagnosis, and even then, no guaranty: 10 g of gluten per day for 6 weeks! Then a full panel of Celiac tests and biopsy. At a minimum consider vitamin D, Liquid Iodine (unless you have dermatitis herpetiformis and iodine exasperates the rash), and Liquid Geritol. Push for vitamin D testing and a consult with a nutritionist experienced with Celiack Disease.  Most blood tests don't indicate nutritional deficiencies.  Your thyroid tests can be perfect, yet not indicate iodine deficiency for example.  Thiamine   test fine, but not pick up on beriberi.  Vegans are often B12 deficient because meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy are the primary souces of B12. Here is what I take daily.  10,000 IU vitamin D3 750 mg g a b a [   ] 200 mg CoQ10 [   ] 100 mg DHEA [   ] 250 mg thiamine B1 [   ] 100 mg of B2 [   ] 500 mg B5 pantothenic acid [   ] 100 mg B6 [   ] 1000 micrograms B12 n [   ] 500 mg vitamin c [   ] 500 mg taurine [   ] 200 mg selenium

      Hi…Just a note that if you have an allergy to sulfa it’s best not to take Benfotiamine. I bought a bottle and tried one without looking into it first and didn’t feel well.  I checked with my pharmacist and he said not to take it with a known sulfa allergy. I was really bummed because I thought it would help my energy level, but I was thankful I was given this info before taking more of it.

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D.   By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease.  You got it from your mom or dad.  Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms of dementia.  I know that for the 63 years I was eating gluten I got dumber and dumber until I started GFD and vitamin replenishment and it began to reverse.  Thiamine can get used up in a week or two.  Symptoms can come and go with daily diet.  Symptoms of beriberi due to Thiamine deficiency.   Difficulty walking. Loss of feeling (sensation) in hands and feet. Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs. Mental confusion. Pain. Speech difficulties. Strange eye movements (nystagmus) Tingling. Any change in medications? Last March I had corotid artery surgery (90 % blockage), and I started taking Losartan for blood pressure, added to the Clonidine I was taking already.  I was not recovering well and many of my pre gluten free symptoms were back  I was getting worse.  At first I thought it was caused a reaction to the anesthesia from the surgery, but that should have improved after two weeks.  Doctor thought I was just being a wimp. After three months I talked to my doctor about a break from the Losartan to see if it was causing it. It had not made any difference in my bp.  Except for clonindine, all of the previous bp meds tried had not worked to lower bp and had crippling side effects. One, I could not stand up straight; one wobbly knees, another spayed feet.  Inguinal hernia from the Lisinopril cough.  Had I contiued on those, I was destined for a wheelchair or walker. She said the symptoms were not from Losartan so I continued taking it.  Two weeks later I did not have the strength in hips and thighs to get up from sitting on the floor (Help, I can't get up😨).  I stopped AMA (not recommended).  Without the Losartan, a) bp did not change, after the 72 hour withdrawal from Losartanon, on clonidine only and b) symptoms started going away.  Improvement started in 72 hours.  After six weeks they were gone and I am getting better.

      Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.
