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.

Gjannit is home and sooo tired. Katching up the homework housework doesn't all have to be done at once.....believe me.....it'll wait for you.

Em -n- Em....do hope you have a great time.

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!

Raechull, whatever happened to yer duck eggs???

Jess, did you name your chikvrbs? Yer not plannin on eatin' 'em, right?? They were for egg layin? in which case it's OK to name them . . .

: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.. . . ......

:huh::lol:

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.

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

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
