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.... . .

i MIGHT be dead before we ever get to CA

We did have the realtor over on Wed nite and it went well but alot on our list to do

she said the house at the end of the street she listed had multiple bidders

the 2 open houses were crowded

some people still interested in our street for a location so when we are ready to list she has names.

We're running out of $$ people........... :ph34r:

garage sale this weekend for mostly Jim's stuff............

At least his stuff should bring in more $$ than mine as I gave alot away to people i knew.

Then basement should be ready for DEEP cleaning

I do enjoy reading a catching up

We figure we'll be around Acadia National Park somewhere . . . I'm having a hard time navigating my atlas. There's a bazillion towns along the coast . . . all with populations under 1000 and everyone of them gets a dot. :blink: . . . I bought reading glasses . . . :ph34r:

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>

will catch up later - going to "nap" now :ph34r: and watch my cable - OH!!! they took away all me many channels - no more HBO movies - - I am sooooooooooooooo relieved :lol: :lol:

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:

      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?
