Sumphin to get yer mind off all that.....I have an appointment wif Estaban :wub: tomorrow morning and am planning (unless I chicken out) to get me hair cut short Mark's actually on board with this.....I need a change.....

Esteban!!!!!!! yay! too much face :lol: you silly bundt!

Susie . . . you need to move to better . . . cooler . . . rainier . . . climes!!! Apparently Kit needs to, too.

:( I know.........I know! but.......I can live here 3/4 of the year (2/3 may be more accurate) if I JUST had a cabin in the Kaiser Wilderness, 1.5 hours north :lol: Would STAY up there for months at a time, perfectly content!! *sigh*

Wee Kit :unsure::wub:

the poor microcephalic baby DID show some playfulness last night (fleeting) and DID give Weez some kisses........ :wub:

he still shows ME affection regularly - and LOVES when I am in the bathroom....is somehow fascinated when me hair's wet and I've just emerged from the shower. Sits on the ledge and claws at my hair - it hurts - and then purrs and purrs :blink: In fact, he sits on that ledge any time I am in the bathroom and purrs his wee head off - I dunno why :lol: 'tis adorable

I love how Al Sharpton told MJ's kids yesterday......."there's nothing strange about yer dad"

:unsure:

why did all the brothers dress identically AND wear sequined gloves?

Got now't, except to say HI!...and Boris also has a small wee head - virtually no psillie in him or me

Talking of haircuts......Lucy (the not so friendly she-devil cat) has matts on her back nr her tail....... been risking life and limb trying to brush 'em out (teaming up with DC a.k.a. the cat whisperer)

He gently talks and strokes her head during the procedure

Anyhoo, she (we) had had(? why does that look all wrong?) enough and resorted to cut them out.......she has a VERY bad fur-cut (it's a very choppy look) and won't go out 'til after dark

Patti, Pics will be needed of the phab new 'do'

*snoooooooooort* Loved this whole thing :lol:

poor Lucy!

DC is a cat whisperer? phabulous.......

Me thinks perhaps KitKat is picking up on your somber mood.

the little scalawag! nope, he's not smart enough, really. He had a two-week (long-acting) steroid shot that really subdued his personality. That appears to be wearing off. I've switched his food......I think I just gave him brain damage when I nearly killed him :ph34r:

but he's still adorable

Suz--p-shaw! It takes a lot more than that to scare me off :D

:wub:

OK, I accidentally 'friended' someone on da book instead of hitting ignore. We apparently were in the same HS graduating class, but I have no idea who she is. What's the etiquette here? Send her a 'who in H are you?' note? Unfriend her? Pretend it never happened and ignore all her posts?

this is a toughie. I had a complete stranger friend-request me, and I finally wrote a very sweet note and said......"do I know you, did we go to college together or something like that?"

but one from high school.......best to pretend you know who she is. She probably has a girl crush on you.

more later Sills.............

selling tickets to the Psillie Thread :lol: :lol:

Brooke looks really gorgeous, doesn't she? If I only had that hair......what power I would have :lol:

I, too, have seen most of it, pieced together. :ph34r: Was fascinated with the spectacle of it. And, truly, I think MJ was just so amazingly talented.....esp. his younger works, of course, and most esp. with the Jackson 5. That was really sumfin, and I think they were just really something and I loved them.

and......I will confess.......I think the Thriller video is the best video of all time

:ph34r::lol:

Derek's fixing my car.........I think....... :unsure:

You silly. :lol: Derek is the man child guy that I work with, whom I adore, who fixes all my stuff.

He just fixed my old Jeep for less than half the cost. I am thrilled.

Kit seems to be getting a bit of personality back into his microcephalic little head. Am thrilled at that also.

Just wanted to share with you all - I'm planning on thinking today. :o

This requires loud music (headphones) and no shoes and much tugging of hair (not sure why this is necessary, but it seems to be). If all goes well I will actually have a complete outline of everything I've done (on one project) for the last two years. Don't see any point in doing this, except that I'll have a really good time.

And I made the coffee in the breakroom this morning, so for once it's strong enough. :P

There is so much potential in this post . . . but I'm drawing a blank . . . it escapes me. I want to point this out now so that when I post at 3am with the perfect response, you'll know how hard I had to work on it . . . perhaps I should start tugging me hair.

Lisa- Glad your scare with Nathan is over :D

To everyone else ((((((((((HELLO))))))))))))))))!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miss you guys- not much silly or energy these days but I had fun, fun, fun in Vermont. Kurt and I (and my dad, sis and her family) all went up for the 4th of July. I couldn't find me a Champ costume. Went as a woodland nympho.

Peter and Em- I could practically swim to Canada from where I was but unfortunately, 'twould have been Quebecians waiting with a towel, not Ontarians- and I wouldn't have understood them as they speak their Quebecois French. I could NOT, however, swim to Ontario.

I am now, as they say, pooped!

Tissues will have to be passed around at DD's wedding fer sure!

For the father/daughter dance, the music will be "I Hope You Dance"

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give fate a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking

Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out, reconsider

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion always)

I hope you dance (rolling us along)

I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)

I hope you dance (where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance, I hope you dance

I hope you dance (time is wheel in constant motion always)

I hope you dance (rolling us along)

I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their youthand wonder)

I hope you dance (where those years have gone)

repeat 1x

I hope you dance

I know it's basically about taking chances in love, but in this case it's more about not fearing what life has handed you, and and live life to the fullest.

david's mother died when he was young.....she committed suicide. David is convinced it was because of his father. He has not spoken to him in a loooong time. A friend's mother befriended David while he was growing up and became, in a sense, his "mother'. She will be flying up from Florida to be at the wedding.

The music for the mother/son dance will be "You and Me Against the World"

GAAAHHHH!!!!!! I CAN'T STAND IT!!!!!..........pass the tissues please....*sniff*

Some of Brian's family will be seeing him for the first time since the accident. Methinks this will be quit an emotional gathering. :rolleyes:

The wedding will be awesome. It will be at my in-laws' house. They have a beautiful piece of property. The back yard has a steep drop down to a horseshoe-shaped creek with lots of trees. Flowers and ferns are planted along the steps down and along the creek. The wedding will take place within the horseshoe. They have a cable running from a tree at the top to a tree at the bottom. There will be a porch swing seat attached to the cable and Father and daughter will ride that down to the altar.

Pretty cool, huh? B)

Don't worry, it has been tested and deemed perfectly safe :)

Oh Lisa--the wedding sounds like absolute perfection :D

My gawd--the thought of your daughter and Brian dancing to 'I Hope You Dance' just makes me wanna tear up right now. Have many tissue boxes handy....The whole setting, the people--perfect! :)

      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
