Another day without a rejection letter.

Me phingers are crossed fer ya! ;)

OMG sillies--two things.....Mark and I came out of a meeting this afternoon and it was actually sprinkling. (we've had zero rain all month). The sun was also out, and it was about 101--we looked up and there was the most beautiful rainbow! :D Just gorgeous!

Second thing was the dinner I put in the crock pot--round roast wif all the phat trimmed off, onions, carrots, sweet and white potatoes and a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays cooked fer 10 hours. So-o-o-o-o good! :rolleyes:

Well, today was day one of the civil service strike in Toronto, and already the garbage is piling up.

And then, there is the household waste that is not being collected. :ph34r:

It would be enough to drive you to drink. But, you better stock up fast--the government monopoly liquor store is going on strike on Wednesday. :o

It looks like a long, hot, dry summer in Toronto. :angry:

Emily, where art thou?

Jess, I'm hoping you get out of your current rat hole into a better one.

You poor sober Canucks . . . I feel for ya . . . nothing like telling you that you can't have a drink to make you want to drink.

mimommy Contributor

So has anybody heard from Emily at all? Did she make it off the island :unsure:

Geez, Peter, that sounds rough...no garbage pick-up? :o No liquor? :o Gotta love civil unrest :blink:

These are very trying times we live in. My advice? Buy noseplugs and lots of air freshener. Build a still in your bathtub, or cross the border and I'll buy you a drink :)

Sills, I am not happy. No, really. Not...at...all.

I MUST fix what's wrong in my life home--mess, clutter, overcrowding. I've spent the past 2 hours looking for storage/furniture for my daughter's bedroom. I need to have a garage sale. I need to rid myself of the crap stuff my parents are storing in my basement. I need to feel better, doggoneit.

Where'd Lynnie go? :huh:

did we scare her off?:unsure:

Morning Everyone-

Jess still keeping da fingers crossed for ya!

Summer is finally arriving....yea!!!!! going to be hot the next few days! I dont like heat that much but I want to finally feel summer! and no more rain! My poor tomato plants leaves are turning yellow from too much water...

elye Community Regular

HEY!! WE GOTS A NEW PSILLY!!! :):)

Welcome to the madness, Lynnie! Um, yes, ya gotta tell me. . ....... ..is there in fact a way that we could have determined your sexual orientation without actually being told, as you intimated? Do gay folk write in a certain fashion, use particular syntax and/or vocabulary? Often have countless pets, hail from certain areas of the continent? What in hell have I been missing all my life? :rolleyes::lol:

Somehow methinks you are right, Jyaghnutt......it was all determined from Jyess's German lesbians . . .. . ...

:lol:

OMG. . . .....all I did was drink diabetically legal wine and coolers and eat many things . . . . . ....

Oh, and dance.

Just before I left for T.O., I made incredible penis earrings out of sculpey for my sister and my best friend, with whom I went. Hadda bake them in the oven - - quite something to come upon should one just happen into my kitchen and peer through the oven door. They were conversation pieces like you can only imagine. I suppose putting up a pic of them in my av would warrant another warning... . . .. ...I may even get in trouble over on Da Book.

Bah.

Don't you believe it. If you don't watch out she sneaks up behind and bites you :o Haha, I can say that because she's on vacation and can't reach me (yet) :lol:

Dear gawd, I did SO much of this whilst away... . . .biting people. :huh::lol: Not prudent, to be sure, what with this swine flu hovering around..... . . . .

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.

Quite a pain. They are running little tour boats to accommodate the Islanders. We got back quite late as the ferry schedules are not being followed.

Seems to me that getting "stuck" on an island in the summer would not be the worst catastrophe to ever happen!! Oh! Why did we not all go wif her?!?!?

This is where we must plan our Psummit. Truly. I thought this often whilst walking along the beautiful paths, whilst down by the beach, whilst reaching for another cooler from the fridge.... ... <_<:rolleyes:

Missed y'all! No word on the job, Jyess? How is tel's wrist?

Welcome back to reality silleville, Em. We missed you. I think an innocent new av of you wearing your earrings would be OK . . . hey, you didn't realize that you were wearing them when someone else took your pic . . . :rolleyes:

Don'ts know if we've got a new sill or not . . . she didn't come see us yesterday . . . :ph34r: . . . even though you weren't here Emily, I'm sure it's your fault if she doesn't come back. :P:lol:

. . . also forgot to mention that Peter has been outcatted as well. What's the count wif you guys anyways . . . Peter wif three?, Jess wif three?, Nik wif three or four . . . that Tel knows about. Nik, how many do you have stuffed in the closet under the stairs wif the lil people?

POeter! The Toronto ferry boats aren't running, garbage ain't being picked up, and as of midnight tonight. . . . . ....... . . .

Liquor providers on strike.

:o:o

Gaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.. ............. . ..

Must go and stock up. As I was coming home just now i saw the parking lot at the LCBO nearby - - cars on top of one another, people out screaming, throwing themselves bodily into parking spaces..... . . .

It would seem that the Nation's Capital is full of individuals who need to drink... ... .

Alzy's off to Gay Pareeeee!! SOOOooo exciting. Mygawd, what would the French do in the event of a liquor strike?? 'Twould be mass anarchy, methinks. :lol:

And on the teeth straightening and cat menageries: have both things occurring in me household, as well. Tess, Bryce and the neighboUr's enormous black tom who, amazingly, squeezes himself through our cat door, eats the cat food, takes a few swats at Bryce, then leaves, spitting and growling most angrily. <_<

Think I shall hook one of my penis earrings to his collar the next time he visits. This may discourage the neighboUrs from allowing him to fraternise with anyone in this house (and they may think twice, as well). . . . ......

:rolleyes:

Both kids, not cats, have active ortho happening. Sophie just wears her retainer at night now, after braces on the uppers and lowers for four long years. Jack is getting diagnostic molds and Xrays done next week.

So, we are paying our orthodontist's rent until 2011. . . . . .......

With about four hours to go, it looks like the booze strike is on. Beer and Ontario wine are available at other outlets, but spirits are not. Emily can cross the Ottawa River into Quebec and shop at the SAQ for liquor, or at numerous corner stores for beer and wine.

The only gluten-free beer available in Ontario is sold only at the LCBO. I have a small supply on hand.

:angry::angry: Bah, I do not.

You must be speaking, POeter, about La Messagere. I have read all I can find about Saporro (sp.?), the Japanese rice beer that many, including some who sound like they should know what they are talking about, claim is gluten-free. Seems the jury remains out -- I know Celiac.com refutes this claim. Do you know anything on this, Oracle?

Yes, it is handy and something of a relief being only minutes from the interprovincial bridge at times like this - - the Quebeqouis would never let such a social calamity as unavailable liquor take place in their belle province. B)

      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 🤔

      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.

      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
