Ummmm.........Did she have company whilst you were away? :ph34r:

Between fits of laughter, she assured us that she did not. Ya gotta picture her - - a very proper, English, wizened seventy-eight year old lady .... . . ......

It actually was very funny, looking at her with raised eyebrows as she stood by our bed showing us the broken frame and wheel.... . .

Agh, better than the last two visits - - roof dent (! :huh: ) and side mirror missing on my car, and broken washing machine door.

What in hell IS it with her? Is she a Transformer er somefin?

Uh, oh, Nikkers... . . ....feelin'.. . . .....swiney? :unsure:

Two of DD's closest friends came down with the swine flu last month. They were diagnosed the week after all three of them spent the night together at a sleepover. They were a little feverish, achy and very tired for a couple of days. That was it.

Sophie did not develop any symptoms.

I dunno. I seem very underwhelmed by this pandemic, it would seem.

We vacationed at Lake Michigan. Here is the convict story . . . Open Original Shared Link

They kept having sightings within a mile of where we were staying . . . as late as yesterday even. The place we were staying even had pictures up and were putting out warnings to keep all doors and windows locked and to stay in groups . . . makes for quite a relaxing atmosphere.

Nik has come down wif the school's out blues flu . . . hope yer feelin' better soon.

We had an escaped con on the loose for a couple of months; he was first intercepted about five miles from us, but then escaped on a motorcycle and subsequently into the hills and bush on foot and the cops lost him. From then on it was kind of like a movie; he kept swapping vehicles, dumping one and stealing another; breaking into houses for food and guns (and drugstores for drugs); there were sightings galore but oh, the ineptitude in catching up with him. Eventually he more or less gave himselph up because he was tired, I reckon :lol:

Good to hear--I kinda got that feeling but when it first broke, it was all over the news here I guess because we're so close to Mexico. The coverage has fizzled, though.....

Good Morning, Psills!

Yes, 'tis mighty quiet since my return..... . . . . .wish I'd been around last night wif ya, Shroomie. Still a little jetlagged, a bit off - - and me being the way I am to start with, one can imagine how .....interesting....I am presently. <_<:rolleyes:

I am meeting a good friend for lunch this aft. She emailed me a brief message yesterday, saying that she is done with facebook, that the sh!t had really hit the fan with her profile (she did not go into detail - - I'm assuming someone hacked into it and got personal info and took it from there).... . . . :(:angry: So, I'll let ya'll know... .. .

Don't these hackers have anything better to do? Why can't we simply acquire and/or deal semi-automatics, battle pirates, send alcohol and phunnee pins around in peace?.... . . . .....man, leave us alone! :rolleyes:B)

Fantastic, Jyess! Just lurve when this happens - - throw some heavy alcohol at a boring, reserved, straight-back-and-sides individual and watch a new person germinate........Of course, the new personality can be horrific, but more often in my experience it is suddenly someone whom I wanna be around all the time, and I proceed to try to get them drinking whenever we're together.

Sometimes I think I'd like my kids a lot more if they were constantly hammered.....

Highly recommended.... . . .......again, everyone will be so much more easily tolerated.

:lol:

I've been to three baby showers in the past six months, and boy, did I need alcohol at each of them - - none to be found, however. Loved the mothers-and-dads-to-be, but was often at a loss with their great-aunts, second cousins, work-sharing partners, neighboUrs, doulas..... . . ...

      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 🤔

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      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

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      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

      @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?

      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.
