I'm getting ready to start demolishing my kitchen, so I've moved the cats' food into the sunroom. Max objects to the move and has gone on a hunger strike. Lefty, in full support of his buddy, has gone a 'double portions' strike. :P

:lol::lol: Gotta love 'em!

Sounds like this'll keep you plenty busy!! Are you remodeling? Tearing out and putting in new? When I had my little house up north I re-did the kitchen. Couldn't afford to replace cabinets so I re-faced them. They looked pretty good...certainly better! I also tried my hand at building some cabinets.....they looked really good too...if you didn't look too closely!! :P Even the best boards from Lowes and Home Depot have warps to them. Have fun whatever it is you're doing!

Hi all . . . back from Illinois . . . was a good trip . . . much better than I was expecting.

And let me tell ya . . . my mom saved EVERYTHING!!!! GAWD, this is going to be quite a job. My hubby told me "You eat an elephant one bite at a time" and I responed wif "I think I chewed off a toenail".

My mom had bank statements from my grandmother who died 12 years ago . . . :huh: I found bank statements from an orgnization that she has belonged to forever that were dated late 60's early 70's. :blink: . . . and there seems to be those knee high pantyhose things included in everybox regardless of what is in the box. It is somewhat . . . um . . . entertaining? . . . you just don't know what you are going to find. I really thought most of the stuff would go to good will, but I had a very large amount of trash . . . I think she saved every Christmas card she ever got. Dad was in decent spirits most of the time and also entertained by some of the items we were finding . . . the most used phrase of the weekend "Why in the world would she save THAT??!!"

Jess . . . hope the job thing works out.

Em . . . Holy Smores I didn't realize your dad has been in the hospital all this time . . . hope he gets to go home soon.

Amanda . . . so good to see you and so sorry 'bout your loss but looking at your silver lining . . . it's good to know that you can get pregnant. Praying that things go smoothly for you next time.

Joodee . . . good to see you and glad you are stayin away from those cigs.

Bevel . . . meow silly girl.

all you foot people . . . I've got wide feet wif a high instep . . . really hard to fit . . . spend a lot of money on shoes that seem OK but after wearing a few times (and can't take back) decide that they're too tight/rub wrong.

Hi to Pat-Hee, Raychull, Suzee, Tea, Nik, Lisa (how'd the dancin' go?),Shroom (poor girl in a forumless abyss), Peter, and all the rest (on Gilligan's Isle)

Babysitting this am . . . should probably go check on them and kick them off of the Wii and make them play outside before it rains. (Um Jess, we've been gettin' yer rain. You can have it back . . . well not all of it)

jerseyangel Proficient
completely wiped. Forgot how intense interviews are.

I went to bed right before you came on! Glad it went well, I knew it would. ;) Great that you got to meet everyone, that sounds very positive.

I remember little of it, as I was just a wee babe . . . . . ..... <_<<_<:rolleyes:

<_<:lol:

Jack's Little League team won their first playoff game last night 7-6.

You have to wonder how the pup got in there in the first place!! I also wondered as I watched.....is this kinda like what a transverse colon looks like? A big sewer with gunk all over the inside? :D

Jyah-gnutt! Great that you are back, and after a productive, not-completely-heart-wrenching trip. I think many people in our parents' generation were amazing packrats - - when my parents moved out of their house they had been in for 43 years, it was incredible what we were going through.......but no knee-highs! :lol:

I'm getting ready to start demolishing my kitchen, so I've moved the cats' food into the sunroom. Max objects to the move and has gone on a hunger strike. Lefty, in full support of his buddy, has gone a 'double portions' strike. :P

. . .....and our Lyle? Feast or famine for this guy?

Ooh....a kitchen re-do!!!!! Just the thing I love to sink me teef into. Be very thankful I live so far away! :P Can't wait to hear what ya have planned.....

Me too!!!! How exciting, Jyessss. .. .....We moved our entire kitchen from one area of the house to another six years ago. LOVED designing things the way I wanted 'em...the way they should be!

Yep, I woulda been callin' that pup Poop.

Or Feces.

Dem animals, don't try and mess wid der habits :o:lol:

Beware the kitchen remodel!!! :ph34r: Ours started off fine, became a wiring upgrade too, ended up raising the roof from a semi-flat to a pitched (rained when the roof was off in June--in CA!! :lol: ), ending up involving every room in the house because of all the leaks ( we continued to live in de house, all this taking six months!!!) Good luck :lol: and fair weather

Jahnit-- happy anniversary gal!! :lol:

Yer muvver!!!! :lol: You realize after they've gone how little you really knew about them. My husband's maiden aunt was the same way; I had the job of closing out her house and it reached the point I was afraid to open another drawer--postage stamps ripped off every letter she ever received, all packaging paper folded up neatly and saved for a rainy day, but all saved and stored in beautiful antique furniture :o

Nickerler and Tea, I am one of those too!! I only have to be in the vicinity, not even look at it, and Whammo!! it's broke. But I didn't do the 'puter, well at least not this time. I did it last time :o --found out that 'puters is teetotallers and did not like my glass of wine at all; but we cleaned it all out and they repaired it under warranty while scratching their heads how it happened :lol: :lol:

Lyle still lives in the bedroom, with his own private food supply. Have not yet managed to commingle the cats without one of 'em squeezing the pee out of t'other - all over my floor.

All of these things are useful. Someone might need them someday and she was just being prepared.

This list is heeelarryus, Jyanutt, in such a bittersweet way.

Your mom, I now know, was a wonderful, interesting woman. Boy, she was ready for anything! Don't know when someone is gonna come and visit who just needs to erase all of the answers in crossword books and do them again, or when one may need to know if August 23, 1982, was a Wednesday or not, or how often street names/directions are changed in the state of Illinois, leaving all current printed maps obselete.. . . . .... . :rolleyes::lol:

      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

      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, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. 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.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!
