back later for some wine - who's with me? Rach? Geoss? Padt? Em? Who's gonna be drinking with me tonight? DON"T MAKE ME DRINK ALONE :lol::blink:

We won't, suze...I'm here with you, relaxing on the back deck late in (our) evening, sipping on a lovely Martini.

My expose' shot would most certainly be of me sans bra, sitting on my porch smoking.e'll be your therapists, Suze.

Or at least your drinking partners

:unsure:

A shirtless, smoking hag? :lol:

I almost never wear a bra - don't need to :angry:

Yes, MEET AT SHROOMIE'S!!!!!!!!!!!! In Tahoe......how wondrous it would be to be there now.........get outta this blasted heat :angry:

Yes........be my therapists!!!!!! What I really need is just more peeps in my life.(PEEEEEEEEEEEETERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! - come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Well, Susie, it seems we have something else in common. I never wear a bra. I would be willing to to offer an assessment should we ever be fortunate enought to meet in person. But what I care about is what is between your ears, not what is on your chest. :wub:

I'm here, perched with a very large glass of chablis at my side. I have packed two 2-litre bottles of wine for three days on Wards Island. Do we all feel that this is enough?

Hmm...... . ..'tis quite a raucous, music-and-singing-fueled weekend . . .....dunno.

Maths coming. Two 2-litre bottles over three days. (2+2)/3 makes 1.33 liters per day. Adequate, I suppose, as long as you are not planning to share it with somebody. :lol:

Have a great trip, Emmel!!!!!!!

Hey all! Just catching up! It's kinda like the old "cliff hangers" (or worse...soap operas). 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!

Tea :wub: magical, as ever

Finished my kitchen duties for the day. Curling up with a glass o' wine.

I'm so sorry I were not here. Had a loooooooooooong phone conversation with a friend, missed my whole drunken, Psilly evening, which I believe I had designated:ph34r:

I have to pass on the beverages--have to work tomorrow.

Scott is not feeling well so I guess for me it's just man o' whine.

Pfft, like I'm one to talk

oh poor Scodtt!!!!!!!! take care of 'im

Working tomorrow........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *angry*

WORK is such a bloody interference. Idn't it???????? :angry:

Well Sills, must head to bed soon.......Gail claims she is coming early in the morn (11-ish?) to watch a movie with me. She claims that I can nae watch this one alone. I will not tell you what it is. Am too embarrassed. Twilight Seems she also has been quite taken with the series (in book form) and says that I will HATE it if I haven't read the book. and further, if I LIKED the movie without having read the book, she would have no respect for me. :lol: :lol: x 55

Mornin! Ray-chull.....you sent yer rain here :angry: Take it back!!! We've had rain enough this spring and need to save some of it for summer. Been given the weekend off.....planned some hikes and outdoor chores...and blammo! Heavy rain and pserious pstorms coming our way. Drat! Guess I'll have to study....now in Anatomy and Medical Terminology (what fun).

Psuess (Minimom, too)....time just goes. It goes way too fast and goes faster as we get older. It's a crazy ride and all you can do is hold on.....but laugh and scream and enjoy it. Don't waste too much time on mid-life (or any stage-life) crises. The crisis in not real. The fear and angst is not real. Hell....do you really want to spend all of that precious time curled up under the blankets with Worry and Pain and Fear? They are no phun at all! They suck the laughter right out of your mouth. Go outside and play with Youthfullness and Abandon and Joy....they are great friends to have. And when you gotta be a grownup....work, clean, whatever.....do your best to have fun with that too. If you gotta work, and work hard the least you can do is have a laugh with it..or at least try.

That's it for todays lesson! Professor Teds Philosophy :lol:<_< Hope you don't mind my spilling some gunk out of my brain in your presence.

Em-N-Em...hope your having a great time! Pieter...always enjoy seeing you here. Miss seeing Tickle Tawwwm! Better shut down.....it's terribly black-sky gloomy out the window.....maybe I'll go play in the rain anyway, at least a little bit! (My mom used to yell at me when I was growing up. I LOVED summer rain and thunderstorms and could often be found outside in the midst of it. She used to ask me "Don't you know its lightning and raining out there?". Of course I did! That was precisely the reason!!! )

Joy in all things to all of you.....

Mornin all B)

Tried to do quotes, got frustrated.

Suz--the elimination diet fer Skit=me feeble attempt at humoUr seeing as he possibly has allergies. My thoughts went to foods, natch, hence the e-diet. <snort>

Missed ya last night, but we'll do it again :)

T-I'm tellin ya, I'm really trying to find the spirit of the young girl who used to climb a tree wif a book and read fer hours, lay in the grass and daydream, and loved to play in the rain. When did I become such a high strung worrywart? :huh: I loved yer whole post--made me pheel good :D

Jess--what are the kitchen plans fer the weekend? How much of a remodel are you doing?

Em's off on her trip--wine in tow :lol:

minimom hun--don't sweat the grey hairs....that's why god created Loreal Natural Match :P Kinda shocking the phirst time you notice it, though, isn't it? :o:D

Wondering how Tel made out? Hope Nik checks in......

Ground may be broken this week fer our new house! We have final meetings on Monday and Wednesday, and then if all goes well...... :rolleyes: Tex-ass Sillie (Re)-union here we come!!!!! :lol:

Morning everyone-

raining again and cold...will put a damper on the travel plans if it doesnt get better soon. Was supposed to be heading to Scranton tonight to make Fathers Day dinner but not in the nasty weather...

jerseyangel Proficient

I hope the weather clears in time for you to go, Amanda. Matt has been telling me about all the rain you are having up there.

I'm alive!!!!

I had a glutening. Apparently, Trader Joe's puts CORNSTARCH in their sour cream, which is apparently CONTAMINATED.

So I had the world's worst headache for about a week and some itchiness. Oddly enough, I had ZERO stomach issues. That's what took me so long to figure out what happened (during which time I ate more sour cream, yay) but it's kinda nice I no longer have to carry a Port-a-Potty with me.

I worked yesterday in our soon-to-be garden. Thinking about going out to pick up some plants today. Too late in the season to start from seed, right?

Nik!!!! We need a cracked head wrist update!

nikki-uk Enthusiast
I'm alive!!!!

Good news! :D

Tel update:

Still steadfastly refusing to go to the hosp <_< , but swelling has down a tad.

Maybe it has more to do with his arthritis ?? :unsure: ...... he has had to come off all arthritis meds for a month as docs think it maybe is causing low platelets - GAAAWD - he can't even take ibuprofen for the sweeling (stomach ish-yooz :rolleyes: )

Anyhoo - I've given him a deadline of Monday

If he still can't use it by then I will kidnap him & take him to the hosp :lol:

Hope all me psillies are ok??

{{{hugs}}}} to all :)

We are off to a par-tay (I've had me dinner & NO I won't be drinking wine :rolleyes: )

Got me a phab new maxi dress ;) (hides them legs :lol: )

Have a good Saturday!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D

jerseyangel Proficient

Thanks fer the update, Nik--I'm glad I checked one more time before we went out :D

Have a good time at the par-tay....maxi dress sounds phab B) Very summer chic.

Hope Tel isn't too uncomfortable.

Bunnie--sorry bout the evil contaminated starch :angry: Good news on the lack of GI symptoms, at least that's something! Hope you pheel better soon :)

Hi PeOter!! :D

flourgirl Apprentice

Hey!!! I came in from the rain...now showered and dry. Of course...now the sun is out...what a strange weather day this has been!

Bunbun....hope you have lots of phun with your garden. I'm not sure where you are...but....there are still plants available in the nurseries...just be carful that they look nice and green...not too leggy and not loaded wif bugs. You still have time to start some things from seed, just check the length of time required. Beans grow fast, onion, some squashes, carrots...lots to choose from. I just put in sweet potatoes (company didn't ship them until a few days ago :angry: ). My tomato plants are already as tall as me!!!

I started a new strawberry bed this spring alongside a flower bed. The plants are really doing well, but some of them are in hiding. I used soil from my compost pile...and...well....we call them "volunteers". I have tons of winter squash (many tiny squashes already visible) and some mystery squashes, as well as sunflowers and something that looks like maybe a melon vine (?) :P . Sure makes the flower bed and strawberry patch look jungley. They are rapidly stretching out into the lawn...out of control :ph34r: (I hear voices like the plant in the little house of horrors...."FEEEEEEED MEEEEEE!"

curlyfries Contributor
That's all that's happening in my world--what's going on with you all???

Getting ready to have a garage sale.........LOTS of clothes that no longer fit........from size 10 to 16W.......(savin the 8's in case I gain some weight).......not braggin or nuffin

Goin CrAzY wif hubby home 24/7........summer is supposed to be my time of peace and solitude.......do whatever i want whenever i want. With noone lookin over me shoulder or wantin to tag along <_<

Had some strawberries the other day with no ill effects.........YIPPEEE!!!!!

Planning a wedding

Buying baby stuff at garage sales

Fantastic . . . looks like if Smakl ever has to have another blood draw, we'll be driving to Michigan.

Why would you do that?????........We have a SUPERB psilly-related phlebotomist right here.......my DD......her site is on E. 56th Street B)

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 ;)

Oooohhhh...........sounds like some big tools, there :P

OH Sills....... :( I am so behind.

just a quick poop-in to say hi-dee-ho, and to let you all know (which I'm sure you DO already know) that........I'm completely and totally devoid of silly. :(

I don't know where in hell it went but it's been gone a good part of June. :angry: and maybe the last part of May? BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see it returning any time soon, either. I think I"m involved in some sort of very dissatisfying and wretchedly unfulfilling........mid-life ennui crisis? dunno. But it is not fun.

Love you, my sills :wub:

will try and catch up later but.......in case I don't, can someone give me a summary report?

<lllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssarrrrrrrrgh!!!>

Me too.........havin a hard time findin me psilly.............and so far behind. My OB/GYN told me last year that in my current stage of life I may need some pharmaceutical assistance.........maybe I'll take her up on it......I dunno........a lot of other things affecting me moods.

Still got a few pages to go, but must go start dinner

Later, psillies

      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.  
    • Florence Lillian
      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.  
    • catnapt
      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/
