Oh, I wish. . . . .....not great things today, I am afraid. :( Overnight my dad has fallen worse - -they are suspecting that he may have had a small stroke. When I saw him today he was sleeping the whole time, and has apparently been doing so since they tried to rouse him early this morning. So, they are calling with updates.... . . . . ..

Tareeeesuh, why don't you name your li'l wee one Leslie? :huh:B) 'Tis my dad's name. I actually am kidding, but when I was reading your attempts at finding a name, I of course kept thinking of him, and suddenly remembered that his name is good for male or female creatures. .. .....

Sunny is lovely.

Man, we have to meet. Just reading Rayechull's fab, uplifting post, and thinking about how you guys have become such close friends, I suddenly feel a surge of urgency, of a real want like never before to congregate with you all, somewhere, somehow. A lot of this is coming from my sadness re. Dad, but nonetheless I've realized how you have all become a real part of my life. . . . .....incredible. You were the first people, after my immediate family, whom I went to and spilled about my dad.

Thanks for being here, you hilarious, wonderful lot. :wub::wub:

Jyess, you need to tell yer boss to p!ss off.

Sorry, I'm just takin' no prisoners right now. . . .. . . .

Emily, dear Em. My heart is full of love for you and yours. You are such an EXCEPTIONAL human being, come from excellent stock! You are your father's daughter, as far as I can see, and he is such a joy to this planet. My deepest wishes for a quick recovery and years of loving family time together. No matter what the need, we are here for you. <<<<hug>>>>

Yes, we MUST find a way to meet, if only for a one nighter. I am ready to credit card the expense--any one else? If the gorillas can do it every year, then surely we can do it once, eh folks?

It is ironic and heartening how a sudden intense realization can come from adversity, and for us to have found one another in this big world is nothing short of miraculous. We should honor the friendships created here by sharing the joy face to face.

And get really rip roaring drunk, too ;)

l'll just pour meself a good long drink and settle on in...

Well, if that's the rule, I'm in.

:o :o :o Mimsy's proposing we all have a one night stand!!

I'm in for that, too.

Just watched Mama Mia. Very fun.

But also a bit worried about Lyle. He's limping badly and sleeping under the bed. I think it's an abscess. I'll keep him locked in tonight and see how it is in the morning. Not looking forward to a trip to the emergency vet (many $$$), but also don't want a cat with a bad owie. :(

Suze--are you back amongst your peeps, in full online text mode?

Flying octopii are a normal function of daily life during hockey season in Detroit. Some years ago some idiots got the great idea to throw dead octopiii on the ice during the Red Wings games, and it took like flies to sh..it. Now everybody walks around with octopii hats and the seafood stores sell out. :blink:

I can't believe your neihbor's dog peed on yer sofa. WTH? *giggle*

Brownie in a cup?! And wine at the grocery store?! (incredulous)

All I got at Kroger was a $256.00 grocery bill, and a spilled bag of fresh Lorraine cheese (on raw pork chops) and a puctured Yoplait yogurt to boot. (dang boot sale food market :angry: )

A one night stand, eh? Crikey, I can nae remember...been married nearly 16 years <<haloshining>>

Sorry bout your kitty :( Max had to got to the vet today. He has a cough. But the weird thing is, so does Buttercup. Vet said the dog likely has an upper respiratory infection and that cats and dogs can't cross contaminate each other. :huh::unsure: Don't know what's going on around here, but this morning it sounded like our pets had been smoking my cigs all night...hack-hack

In approximately 4 to 5 months, when me house is done, youse are all welcome. There will be lots of room--we'll cram as many of us in there as can make it. Gawd, I'd love that :wub:

On second thought, if need be, we'll ship Mark off to a hotel to make more room :lol: :lol: Just kidding--he wouldn't miss it.

CRAP! I just remembered my parents are there, too. (long story, that. I will e-mail a recap of the latest events leading to this relocation. They were actually s'posed to stay with me all summer. ISSUES!)

I haven't told you guys my latest. I made a very tough and scary choice this week to leave my job at UPS for the summer, because I have noone to care for my 9 year old daughter while I work (see above). It only pays $8.50/hour and I can't pay a sitter $6.00 of that and cover the gas to get there--a 15 mile drive. I will not work for free :angry: I still have the other job (hate, shame) but that is another bag of beans in itself.

Poverty sucks!

I'll tell ya the squoil stroty - which is not mine.

Friend's hibyy is out of work (drat this economy). He's made himself a goal of finding a bird feeder that will defetat the squirrles. He found a ball that he's suspend at the ebd of a long piece of pvc piping (slippery) and down a long cord. The aquirrels atre supp9osrefdd to not be able to make it out to the ball, and even if they do, ball's suppoissed to be too slippery for their little toes to grasp. A few days ago she sent out pictures of THJIS SQUIRREL inside the ball merrily minching away at his new treats.

      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 +

      @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.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      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 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
