We may take a trip to Chincoteague Island in VA this summer. Our daughter is a huge fan of the Marguerite Henry books about the wild ponies and really wants to take a trip there. The ponies live on Assateague Island, which is shared by Virginia and Maryland, on the atlantic coast.

Gaaaaah! THEEEEE Marguerite Henry??? Misty, Sea Star, Mustang, Wild Spirit of the West... .. . . .??? I was absolutely captivated and besotted with her books as a young kid - - I can recall reading them instead of the compulsory Treasure Island and Lord of the Flies... . .. . ...SOOOOO much more my thang. . . ..... :rolleyes:

Um, Rayechull. . .. .. . .those shirtless blokes next door? Check out the thumbs... . . . ....length report, puleeze... . . . . . . . ...

:lol:

OMG yes, the very one!! I started reading them aloud to her when she was too young to read them alone (I love Grandpa's back-woods drawl and Grandma's country wisdom). Now Taylor reads them herself, but I still read them aloud just to enjoy the stories. She is determined to go see it for her self, so we are trying to get there this summer. I was thinking that it's not all that far from some of the sillies....anyone game for a meeting near Delaware/Maryland/Virginia?

Thumb report---can nae see them due to the swinging of massive hammers busting out chunks of concrete, mobilized by massively muscled and tanned biceps ;)

OK, here's the rundown on the concrete manhood...

One was kinda chunky, but had perfectly smooth, very tanned skin and hugely muscled pecs and biceps and forearms--brown hair and dark eyes.

Another had about a 28 inch waist which swelled out to huge rock hard glutes and 40 inch shoulders, blonde hair, blue eyes. BUT! He looked he belonged in the Village People.

One was just loud and obnoxious, and the other two were just boys. Mere visions of what the future holds.

The owner/foreman was very nice to my dog.

It wasn't too hot here, so no bad smells wafted through yon window. Lots of swearing and guy talk going on.

Men, men, men, men.

Men. Doing manly things ;)

Even Scott commented on how built a couple of these guys were. And that they were busting up concrete BY HAND with sledgehammers.

Impressive display here, girls.

Really? Talking to old high school friends again and seeing their pictures , made me feel young again. At least we're all in the same age range, right? The way I see it, if I'm old, then they are too :lol:

Gooooood Morning, All!

Getting packed for Wards Island, T.O. tomorrow......won't be able to fit in a pizza date this visit, POeter....'tis a whirlwind trip.

My brother's band is playing in part of a big commuity piss-up party on Sunday. He has talked my sister and I into singing something with them, and now we have to decide what it's gonna be. Dear gawd, I will have to be somewhat inebriated.

I am leaning toward this:

Em . . . yer link doesn't work in the US . . . copy right stuff it said . . . but we'll take your word for it - apparently you need someone to throw you around. Perhaps Rayche can ask one of her muscally guys she's been spying on.

Susie . . . go find yer silly!!! If history serves me correctly, when this has happened in the past, you usually find some sort of unknown gluten culprit. What are you eating that's relatively new?? . . . new meds?? We'll help you suss it out!!

. . . and Shroom . . . you need to slow down . . . your silly has been trying to catch up to you but you keep movin' . . . down to the valley, then back to the lake, down to the valley . . . your poor silly is running about 10 minutes behind you, panting and outta breath.

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
