Day?

Bingo!!!! :D

Wish I knew . . . here is a horrible statistic that I, of course, had to go count out . . . I've been home for eight out of the last 32 days. . . ugh . . . I'm sure Lisa can relate.

Yup. Was in Texas for 5 weeks straight. The alternate reality becomes your new reality.....we started calling the trailer we lived in 'home'.

Loved all the 'Sonny' names :lol: ......even better than the real one!

Ironing on the bed! :lol: Isn't that tough on the back? I used to have a breakfast bar (?? it's what I called it anyway) between the kithen and dining room. That was *my* ironing board! Was good enough for who it was for! :P

JGEssS...farmer would be a wonderphul prophesshun! We could all start a Psillly commune and tend the Civkebs together! HOpe you are able to bet some slleeeeeeep soon! Hope yer baby's foot is better soon too. You could double as a vet....on this kommune.

Kurly Lees.....My heart always smiles when I see you here. Dark clouds are lifting...ever so slowly....

Sonny Day!! :P Amazing what some parents do to their kids.

My mom had hip replacement surgery today. I'm so grateful that I have brothers and sisters still living close to home. Mom had plenty of watchers, care-givers, hands for my dad to hold, through it all. She was so very nervous about it. Sister Kathy keeps everyone posted and updated....I have a great family! Mom is doing well and fine and is now facing rehab. Hopefully it will all turn out to be worth it.

That's about it for now....not many functioning brain-cells at the moment. Hugs all 'round....

I have two friends who have had this done, one on both her hips. Both of them said within a few weeks it already hurt less than when they started, and after a few months they felt like they had their lives back.

G'Mornin, Jhyaghnutt! The only two early birds in Da Ville this am... . .. ..

Forgot what you posted yesterday, but I remember there was something I wanted to respond to with an "excellent! "tis wonderful!" . . . . ..What in hell was it? :huh: Regardless, glad that your trip to FLA was a good and timely thing. I am suspecting that you are exhausted - - lots of strong emotion over the last weeks, and a family trip to cap it off. .. .... .. ..it is great to have you back here!

Did Tareeeesar name her kitteh yet? Is she Sunny/Sonny?

Mornin' all. (Waving) Hi Em! Baby's name is Peaches (middle name NCream......just in case we need to be really serious with her). Hubby named her and so it goes. I like the name Peaches....it all fits her coloring (and Hubby is a foodie....who happens to LOOOOOVVVE peaches!) She has settled in and taken over the house. Now she is in full kitty-like rip and tear with intermittant napping (she has claimed our bed for naps....and fortunately seems to be sleeping through the night...or at least not biting and playing while it's dark). She has issues with raised hands and sudden foot movements....makes you wonder.....but she is a sweetheart.

Thanks everyone for well-wishes and for comforting words for my mom. Even tho' we have only heard good things about the outcome of hip-replacements..it seems like such a major deal! She did have knee replacements....but it was years ago and very painful for her....and with outcome less than hoped for. We tell her that those proceedures have come a loooong way since then.

Heat and humidity are settling into the area. YESSSSSSS!!! I may be a rare weirdo who likes this sort of thing....but I wait long and hard winters for just this sort of weather. And for those who don't deal with it well......that's why god gave us things like cool shade under green leafy trees....bodies of water (pools included).....ice cubes....air conditioning.....long hard winters.....autumn and spring.....evenngs on the deck with cool drinks and the songs of treefrogs and sparkling lightning bugs making the bushes glitter......did I tell you that I love summer? :P

Peaches in my lap, so I took a long time to get this typed....and just realized...this tiny baby has HUGE FEET! Wonder how big she'll be?

Wonderful day everyone!

:lol: This has reminded me of The Ripper - - I noticed about a year ago that his feet were suddenly massive, almost ridiculous, like gunboats. . . .....he is an average height for a boy his age, but his FEET.....dear gawd. . .......size nine er sumphin' .. . ....

if he's anything like a pup, he could be 6 foot 4.. . . ......

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
