Who was having lunch wif somebody that had FB problems?? Em, was that you?? I'm looking for the details. What happened?

Friends down the street are getting a golden retriever pup in two weeks . . . so we will be able to partake in the joys of a new puppy (romping wif abandon and puppy kisses) without the misery of a new puppy (bedtime whining, 2 am potty breaks, wet spots on the carpet that you don't see until you've stepped in it) . . . :lol::lol: . . . I can't wait.

Our lunch was postponed until next week, but in her email to reschedule she did tell me that hackers got into her profile and began sending "horrific" messages to all of her friends, her photos were sent everywhere and she began getting messages from people she did not know. Evidence of phishing appeared, as well. I'll get more details when I see her. She's a sensible person who did not put up much information on her profile, so it remains frightening.... . .

No, this is Caramel. She's not a really big cat, but she looks huge in the picture. the Thinkpad is 12" wide by 10" deep. She weighs about nine pounds. :)

An unusual day here. I am at the store, but not really working. I'm just here as backup in case the newest hire needs support. <_<

Day 28 of the strike, and still no end in sight. The only thing is sight is more piles of garbage. :(

Gawd, yes! There's the best idea........I stay drunk all the time. Then everybody is so much easier to tolerate... . .. . ....!

Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . because now they're only hammered every so often???

. . . we're gonna spike the punch later after the "baby" goes home.

And if you stay drunk, you'll never get a hangover.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING SILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

I see that everyone is in phine phettle :lol:

but this is all I've read - got catching up to do.......not now, however. Am recovering from an entirely insomniatic weekend (got back late last night and SLEPT 10 hours straight in me own bed - twas a dream!!!!!!) and staying in my cool, darkened bedroom (about 110 here today, I think?)

We had some trauma on the trip and.....Weezee got kicked out of Sophie's mom's/uncles'condo :blink: there was screaming on the phone (from her mom) and a really psychotic attack - was very, very sad and traumatic (her mom is CRAZY) so.....we stayed at Reese's, five minutes away. He took us to dinner on Friday night.........we had such a wonderful time. Aptos.....he lives across the street from a golf course in a huge thicken of eucalyptus and redwoods, etc - coastal fog and COLD breezes, mixed with sun -

'TWAS PARADISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found my house over there - now all I need is 700K to buy it :(

<must buy lottery tickets>

Day 28 of the strike, and still no end in sight. The only thing is sight is more piles of garbage. :(

Dear gawd, POeter, this is hanus. It must absolutely smell hanus in many parts of the city. Windsor is at 100 days, are they not, of no garbage pick-up?

Unions! BAH! :angry::angry:Excuse the foray into political waters. ..... .. ..

Speaking of which, got a good look at Barack last evening on Anderson Cooper's report on The President in Africa. Man, he's got such an athletic, smooth, refined carriage - - haven't found the right adjective ... .. . ..... .he moves like a big, lanky yet graceful lion......the king that he is, I suppose..... . . .

This did not strike me when Obama was here in Ottawa. Perhaps t'was because he was here in February and he had his shoulders up around his ears, pounding his feet on the snow, pulling his Armani scarf tighter around his neck.. .. . . ..

Ya just can't look sexy, it would seem, in Ottawa. <_<:lol:

Not to your part of Canada I'm afraid, and would love to do that too!! I could brush up on my French before I came. I once dated a guy from Toronto; does that count? No, haven't been east of the Rockies in Canada; the western part is much more accessible from CA.

All right, I must recount to you all what transpired a couple of nights ago, the evening before MIL flew home. We were at the B and SIL's place for dinner, with in-laws literally everywhere I looked.

MIL was discussing how challenging it can be driving any great distances during the long winters up in Whitehorse where she lives. The Trans-Canada Highway is a main thoroughfare, and actually stretches right across the prairies into Ontario.

Listening along, I suddenly piped up, "Well, you must spend a lot of time on the Trans-Vaginal Highway".

:huh:

:o

:lol:

AND.... . . . ...I did NOT even realize what I had said. Everyone was staring silently at me (which they do very frequently anyway), and I then began to frantically replay the conversation in my head. I gasped, and started larfing hysterically.

Alone. Larfing hysterically alone.

I wonder what the speed limit is on that roadway? Long and winding, or direct? Any detours?

I would hope it is well-groomed and maintained.

:lol::lol:

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      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.

      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.

      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
