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?

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.

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

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!

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

:( 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. .. . . .

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

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine? 
    • knitty kitty
      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?  
    • lizzie42
      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      @lizzie42, You're being a good mom, seeking answers for your son.  Cheers! Subclinical thiamine deficiency commonly occurs with anemia.  An outright Thiamine deficiency can be precipitated by the consumption of a high carbohydrate meal.   Symptoms of Thiamine deficiency include feeling shakey or wobbly in the legs, muscle weakness or cramps, as well as aggression and irritability, confusion, mood swings and behavior changes.  Thiamine is essential to the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which keep us calm and rational.   @Jsingh, histamine intolerance is also a symptom of Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is needed to prevent mast cells from releasing histamine at the slightest provocation as is seen in histamine intolerance.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine from the body.  Without sufficient thiamine and other B vitamins to clear it, the histamine builds up.  High histamine levels can change behavior, too.  High histamine levels are found in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.  Thiamine deficiency can also cause extreme hunger or conversely anorexia.   High carbohydrate meals can precipitate thiamine deficiency because additional thiamine is required to process carbohydrates for the body to use as fuel.  The more carbohydrates one eats daily, the more one needs additional thiamine above the RDA.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Keep in mind that gluten-free processed foods like cookies and such are not required to be fortified and enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts are.  Limit processed gluten-free foods.  They are often full of empty calories and unhealthy saturated fats and additives, and are high in histamine or histamine release triggers.  It's time you bought your own vitamins to supplement what is not being absorbed due to malabsorption of Celiac disease.  Benfotiamine is a form of Thiamine that has been shown to improve intestinal health as well as brain function. Do talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with the essential vitamins and minerals while your children are growing up gluten free.  Serve nutritionally dense foods.  Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins and minerals. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!
