Got tired of me overgrown locks a while back and took a pair o' scissors to it. Been in a state of limbo tryin to decide what I want done. Curly locks are gone.....need a new perm. How curly?.....How short?........can nae decide. Gotta do sumphim to perk up this old drawn phace.

And, I have very sad news...

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:

Nik.........if he heard it snap........it's broke, plain and simple. Several years ago I stepped wrong goin down the stairs and heard my foot *snap*. Didn't hurt all that much, but I knew sumphin wasn't right. I broke it but good. Almost had to have pins put in.

Seriously, Nik, make him go to the doctor anyway. That sort of thing can hurt for years after it heals, if it doesn't set properly.

I hear voices like the plant in the little house of horrors...."FEEEEEEED MEEEEEE!"

hee! I can so picture this :lol:

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

Love a big tool ;)

Yep, I heard the pop when my toe broke . . . I can now predict the weather wif me toe!!

Ditto. Ran into a chair wif me baby toe and broke it good. I could feel it when it was going to rain for over a year <_<

Tired. Puffy. Bloated. Irritated <_<

My grey hair isn't like just one strand here or there. It seems to be infiltrating my entire left temple and just fading to a blackish-silver :o

Do you know what happens to blondes when they go grey? Their hair looks dirty...all the time.

I have also found some white hairs in me brows and on me chin :angry:

Mimmsy is not pleased <_<

I got my dad's eyebrows, look something like this Open Original Shared Link .

They go grey by growing in brown, then switching to grey, so I've got a grey streak through my brown brow, and a thick brown hair sticking up on top.

Absolutely lovely. <_<

Me youngest sister who's only 45 is thinning out quite a bit already--middle sis has thick hair, and I'm somewhere in the middle although I have roughly half the volume I had at 20. If I can keep what I got, I'll be happy. :rolleyes:

I've been seeing grey/white/silver hairs since my 20's. My dad was salt and pepper in his twenties, so at least I didn't have to deal with that. My sisters all have beautiful hair....dark with the silver sprinkeled in like sparkels or sumfin, then going to the salt n pepper look. Buttt, my hair is not beautiful and I don't really care. Can't decide what to do with it, so it's growing long by default.

Kurley Leezah....I have been cutting my own for years. When I have gone somewhere to have it done...I inevitably end up coming home and "fixing" it anyway (with scissors). My telehubby loves white hair...always pointing out women who have beautiful white locks......there's hope for me yet!

Day started out sunny....now very dark and gloomy.....the bad part is the cold wind! It's summer, for crying out loud....whats with the *%&@!! KOLD!!! Can't deal with this.....but I need to go outside to play anyway. Will I be the only person in the county, state, country wearing a heavy sweatshirt today? :ph34r: Probably.

Leezah! SOOO glad to see you here. Hope things get better for you...soon. BTW.....telehubby had taken a year of retirement before we moved here. Was home aaalllll the time. We both just did whatever.....didn't worry about what the other was doing. We planned our together time...otherwise our time was our own, to do as we pleased/needed/whatever. Maybe you just need a plan and take control of your own time. It's not that you don't love yer hubby.....you just need your own space (don't we all?)

Keep it shiny.....

Gosh, this quiet here today.

After a miserable, wet, rainy, wet, soggy, wet, day yesterday, today is warm (but not hot) and sunny.

=^..^=

I'm working a rare Sunday at the shop. I think it has been a year since that last happened.

Unless something unexpected happens, City of Toronto civic workers employees will go on strike in less than 11 hours. Those at the liquor store have two more days before they walk out. I stocked up yesterday. ;)

Hi Linnie--allow me to welcome you into sillieville, old and decrepit though I may be :P

Enjoy yerselph.....oh--we tend to spell pho-net-ic-ly. No idea why. One more thing--Emily is harmless. :)

Darn it all, I just did a long poop-in and pooped it up. Poopy cow!

Part Drei:

Anyway, part of what I was saying before, I think, :unsure: was that...

Dis place is overflowing with wine (or whine), peaches and nectarines, strawberries and melons (wot, no cherries??) phleazy or non-phleazy kittehs, grey hair, permed hair, butchered hair, red hair and white, greysilver hair, phrizzy hair, hairless heads and hamster brows.

It is full of weather that is too hot, cold, dry, wet, gloomy, windy, thunderous or humid, but nevah just right.

On the other hand, it also contains beauteous posts from Theresa and Patti--good advice from T and yearning from PadT (although I do think I would look a bit ridiculous up a tree reading a book (my recliner suits me better :P ) and it is hard to find some lush lonely grass in which to lie and daydream. Still, it is the spirit of the thing she was referring to after all, because I think we all basically remain children all our lives, certainly not that hag that peers at us out of the mirror :o Can't wait for the weather (sigh, here we go again) to warm up so I can take my book and chair down to the beach.

Tel's wrist may or may not be broken (hope we hear soon). I once was sure I had broken my ankle it snapped so loudly when I was running like a free spirit (trying to follow PadT's advice :lol: ) down a hill., (yeah, this was a few years ago :o ). But I plunged it in a stream running straight off a glacier until just before frostbite, wrapped an ace bandage on it, and a week later we walked the Milford Track. Of course I sprained it again real good when we were over the summit and coming down the other side, and it's never been the same since, but then again it wasn't much good before that. Haha.

Can't remember what else I said; problly wasn't worth reading anyways. Hope this feeble attempt makes up for the too-quick poop-in the other day. Still looking for me psilly--where can it be??? :unsure:

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

Padt, would you stop telling people Em is harmless? You're gonna damage her reputation.....

:D :D :D

I'm off to bed (yes, at 7:30pm), le boyfriend gets up at 2am on Mondays. I get an extra hour of sleep, ZERO griping here!!!! G'mite.

Oh yeah! Chugging her wine before the liquor worker employee strike.

sounds like a good plan, even without the strike.

Some day I'll day you my story of spending the night with German lesbians while stuck in Bologna during an Italian train strike.

OMG--what a great rundown of the sillieville musings of late! :D I now read in a chair too, Shroomie--many things that worked at 10 don't seem to work now :lol: Hope yer sillie reappears :)

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

And that's just the sort of thing we admire here :P

Mite, Bunnie. -_-

I'm not sure where she is at the moment, but she was heading for the Toronto Islands. You can only get there by boat, and the ferry is going on strike in 3 hours along with the rest of the city staff. There are private water taxis.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
