It's now the size of a melon.....and HE (As most men do) is refusing to go to the hosp :rolleyes: (but sufficiently complaining)

Because it will be less broken in the morning??? :huh: . . . Men <_<

Good, bloody hot aft, Sills <_<

Um.........Tel has a broken, melon-sized wrist (with a crack sound, no less) and refuses to go to hospital???????? WHAT IN HELL IS WITH THE MEN PHOLKS??????? :huh:

Good Lord, Nik. Yes, as Geoss said, he's one-handed, you CAN take him :lol:

I took a secret picture of that shirtless, shoe-less, shuffling eviscerated Zombie Man walking my streets here.....you should SHIRLEY SURELY be able to take stealth pics of these men.

quoting meself :lol:

was thinking I should put his photo up on the book, for analysis and opinions and such. Needing more insight to the mysterious Zombie Man, who has never been seen before or since.

Hell, I've taken a secret shot of Mr. Chow in his full Morning Sun Pose, and I'm sure I put up an av of the average-thumbed blokes who were installing the deck in our backyard last spring. . .. . . .. . . .....very phun, and quite legal, I should hope .....

You can put this on Facebook also, Em. We want to see :lol:

Well, if it'll get Susan out of her funk...

But, don't ever get mad if some roof repairin ' driveway smashin' mexican gardeners post pics of us

:lol: Good Lord, I've given them a project tomorrow, and now would like to cancel. Don't want them here any longer than they have to be. :huh:

PS--look at "Today's Top 20 Posters"...

Guess who's #1?

Now that's just sad

nope, you're truly one of US now. :lol: Very sad, yes, but also somehow.......momentous.

That is so me right now. Seems like life in the ole U S of A has robbed me of me sillly totally. Plus all dis running around, down to the valley, up to the lake, down to the valley, up to the lake, down... And every time I go to cook something some ingredient is not in me cupboard , I keep forgetting what I has here and what I doesn't. Keep thinking I is home---well, in a way I is, but different home

SHROOMIE!!!!!!!!!!! Gianknit's right, ya need to STAY STILL!!!!!!!!!!

Me babes and I are going to pile in the car and come see you. Be there tomorrow around 6? I"ll expect a fresh mojito and some yummy snacks. ;)

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!!

:( wish it were so, Jan-it, but, poops indicate that all is well - totally solid and normal. This is not a gluten issue, but another broken heart. Life crises....just lots of sadness about some circumstantial things. I hope to suss it out .....prolly need a good therapist :blink:

SILLS!!!!!!!!!!!! My kitteh has mange or summat :blink:

Scratching like crazy for at least a week now, and today I noticed hair missing - patches of skin showing :o Weez is NOT scratching a'tall, and I see no sign of fleez. So, trip to the vet today for wee Skit. $$$ Hope it's something easy and cheap.

Love you sills............

I'll try to find a shred of silly adn come back more......I still have ten pages missing - the vortex of Things Not Yet Read

Wee sweet Soozle, you come here even if you don't pheel sillie!! You don't have to be phunny, just be wif us. ;) That's an order (a gentle one, but still) :P How can someone wif such a big heart keep getting it broken? :( Hugs for you, me phriend. Hang in there :)

Sorry bout Skit-cat's scratchies.....yep we'll hope fer cheap and uncomplicated. Poor thing. It does kinda sound like phlees--although since Weez doesn't seem to have them.....I dunno. Our cat, Penny, had similar symptoms once and it turned out to be a phlee infestation--which was weird since she (as all my cats) was an indoor kitty. :blink:

And yeah--you and me wif all this heat :o Natives here are telling us that it's too early in the year fer this kind of prolonged heat (it's usually high 80's to 90 ish) and they hate to think what it's gonna be come August. It's been over 95 for at least the last 2 weeks wif no end in sight. The weather report for this weekend is 96 both days, and then to "heat up again" to 98 by Tuesday. :huh: It's madness, I tell ya!! :lol:

Well, I've decided to reward myself for a backknee-breaking day of #2 by employing a personal chef. Her name is Amy, and she specializes in gluten-free rice-n-mac and garden veg lasagna ;)

More of deuce manana <_< But, it's $ :ph34r:

Seems like life in the ole U S of A has robbed me of me sillly totally.

No dat's not sad; just means you luvs us all (I hope)

I dew lurve you all :wub:

If you don't believe me, look at my updated "friends" list :lol:

I'm sorry you got the contiguous blues, N. It pretty much sucks around here, doesn't it? "Sweet home unemployment"

Great. .. . ...... .me giving my kids hell as they race off for school, me pulling strange li'l things outta me ho-tub, me scooping up large mounds of dog poop in the backyard, staring long at my pathetic attempt at a garden, washing bird crap off me car... . .. . ...doesn't get much more fulfilling in the eye-candy category, to be sure..... ..

Do you get a medal? A certificate, note of recommendation, stock options?

I'll take the cash payout, please ;)

If anyone ever posted pics of me in the raw (as in devoid of make-up and dressed like the suburban hag that I am), I think you'se would nae recognise me. It took years of practice to perfect it, but the frump appeal reigns supreme <_< My expose' shot would most certainly be of me sans bra, sitting on my porch smoking.

Have fun, Em!

We want you guys back ta silly!

Amy was a grave disappoinment...the rice mac&cheese is good stuff, but the garden veg lasagna was way too heavy on the garden, not nearly enough of the sauce, cheese, and seasoning :blah:

I smell like pine-sol and various nastiness--must shower. Was nearly grief stricken with devastating PMS today. Started feeling like I've run out of time (I mean in the cosmic sense). BAH!!!!

Need to book this vacation before I chicken out, or get hit by a rampant cement truck bus.

And, I have very sad news...

I am so sorry to have to announce that...

There's a grain free food that several people here on the board use fer their cats--I'm thinking Jess, too.(?) So now you have to put Skit through an elimination diet???? :P

Hey all! Just catching up! It's kinda like the old "cliff hangers" (or worse...soap operas). :P Hey pholks! Tune in next time for the answers to these important questions: Will Gshanett get the job? (truly hope so), is Hey Jude still in the dungeon...or working on another home project? Is she still smoke free? What was Pah-tays comment on FB about nectarines vs. Peaches (how can you not like peaches?) will Ems Dad be released from the health-care imprisonment for good outrageous behavior? Is Skittles allergy food related? Will Pseuss find her tickle-bone intact and fill Psillyville with sunshine and laughter? Hang on to your seat to learn about Tel's new watermelon and how he chooses to deal with it!

My favorite cliff hanger ever....is Psillyville! Nothing psilly here to add....sorry. Am ready to be unconscious for the nite mite. Hugs all 'round :wub:

      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        
    • knitty kitty
      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? 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?
    • catnapt
      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 🤔

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.

      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
