One of me old friends, who is a new FB friend (from high school), sent me about a hunnert dollerz worth of g f goodies today, via fed ex. I cried my eyes out. < they don't even GNOW how po' I is in prezent unemployed state>

'twas a wondrous thing to happen on an otherwise hellish Tuesday :huh::wub:

Psuessle.....just what is it that you are up to these days? Just wonderin'

:(:( I don't even know. Tryin' to fill jewelry orders :blink:

OMG The duggar lady is pregnant with her 19th child---yikes!!!! My coworker just joked that all she needs to do is sqwat and out they pop....

I don't even know what to say about this, except that, all of her children seem offully polite

:blink:

These are a few of my favorite things...when the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling menstrual sad..........I simply remember me sniffles and poos and then I don't feel so bad

:lol: love this

and - love yer dad :wub:

A beuuuuuutiful day in Ohio. But, I am gggroaningly mad. Overnight, the racoons attacked my garden and ate all but 1 lousy ear of corn. Thats 3, 40 foot rows! Earlier in the season the small critters ate all my lettuce, chard, and green beans. All I have left are mators and plumkins!

oh - this is haynus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No time for a proper rant. Men are so parking stupid!!

<_< could not agree more.

Oh, is my man-rage showing?

The upside- I could have an affair on the couch in front of him. He wouldn't notice.

The downside- I could have a heart attack on the couch in front of him. He wouldn't notice.

Jessphenomy- Who did what to you. Did it have to do with pheramones? I doubt it, because you seem seriously angry. Take a deep breath and talk to us. We can solve any problem. Oh, yeah.

OMG - this cracked me up :lol:

I can't agree 100%, because anything that has to do with sex, they notice--everything else, not so much :rolleyes: I think if you needed to get attention you just say "wanna have sex" then when they look up and say "what?" You say,

" please take out the trash"

Plumber is here and I am hoping this will be a quick fix. I am still going to work- just later than usual. Lots of tension at work right now- Our boss is a nasty woman, she says downright nasty things to people and once you make her mad she never forgives ya. I think a lot of her troubles are she sees us all out living our lives and happy- since we dont allow work to be the center of our life.

Anyhoo- I work with this woman who is in her mid-40's and she is so nice. She is always willing to help whenever anyone needs anything, she is there to listen and she just goes above and beyond. So my boss has been picking on her and when the woman asked if she was doing her job wrong my boss said to her its not your job its you.... :blink: and then she goes on to tell this woman she dresses whoreish..... :unsure: this woman is the most professional looking gal you'd see. if she looks whoreish I must look like downright slutty trailer trash.... :P so my boss has really soured the moods at work lately. We are hoping she decides to relocate back to where she came from. Happy Thoughts eh?

How are all my silly phriends this morning? Its chilly outside again- me fears winter will be early....

Suzzle- don't get me wrong I like the duggar lady, those kids are polite and smart and nice- I just think thats a lot of stress on her body.

I just had to go banish the cat to the basement- he thought it was ok to go crawl under the sink while the plumber is taking the pipes apart- and once he got in that sink he layed on top of the plumbers tools.....silly kitty!

Sorry about the long-winded rant yesterday. :P

It was work boys, not real boys. I asked (emailed) a simple question to the computer guy about how to use the Avg function in Access. He responded by telling me what I wanted to do with my data really should be done in Stata, and cc'd the boss. I responded that, yes, it should be done in Stata, but while I was using Access to look at my data (you should always look at your data) I realized I didn't know how to use this simple function.

Then the boss responded with some patronizing thing about how Stata wasn't all that hard and he could help me if I needed it.

I then spent an hour looking through an Access book, and googling until I found that the Avg function only works in a Totals query, not a regular query. That's what, eight, ten words?

So I sent that statement back to both of them and turned off my phone and email because I was done with stupid boys for the day.

Still annoyed, but boss is gone for the rest of the week and computer guy won't be in until Thursday.

Hey Manda! I got plumbers too!! Is this the same as syncing our cycles?

Nutz. I was hoping to hear a joosy husband/boyfriend man rant. And, since I'm computer illigitimate. I didn't udderstand a word of the stupid men I work with rant.

So, my fellow ciliis (can I call you that?) are PAYING for men to come service them. I like sax and violins, too, but no way am I 'm going to pay for something so readily available for free. I guess that's my fragile, cheap nature. Tell them to stay away from your water heater! And if he speaks Turkish, it may only cost you the price of a Black Rushin.

I think I need to some Yogi or sumtin like that. The stupid unending stress is getting to me, and I can't afford all the drugs and alcohol it woud take to aggravate it. I'm skeered to go walking (which I used to do) Because of Kudjo and the pit bull that keep getting loose. Any suggestion for sillistress relief?

All right the saying must be true....men crawl out of the woodwork when youre married...

A few months ago my work computer took a dump....literally. It was brand new only 3 months old and the motherboard fried. So at our hospital we do a lease program and it is run by an outside company who staff 2 of their men at our place fulltime. So this nice decent looking guy came to fix my computer. I didn't think much of it until I saw him a few days later and he said hello and talked to me. Still not reading into it I would pass him in the halls occasionally and he was all nice. So about a month ago the monitor fried on the work computer and he was the one to come and fix it and my coworker has been telling me all along you can tell he likes me. I brushed her off and he stayed for a few minutes and made small talk and then left. I saw him a week later and then not at all until Monday when I was waiting outside the cafeteria for my friend, and he was waiting and came and stood and talked....then yesterday he and his buddy ran into me and my work posse and he said hi and smiled and was blushing as was I when I walked away....he has never asked me anything and so I just leave it as friends. He is not bad looking, most people probably wouldnt think he is the hottest but I like the dorky type....Anyway- I am not sure if he is interested or if he is just friendly....cause he has been to m desk and their are wedding pics and such there but whatever....

My feelings on this where was he when I was single and looking....hello!!!! You get a ring and here are all the men...what gives? I would never persue anything but I must admit its nice to know someone is flirting....never had much of that in my time so I guess I can enjoy it now....

Burning question. Who is Triticum Toxicus and where did he/she go?

Man- can you fire your boss?

Juday- I know it's upside down. Don't know what direction. Hope you didn't buy a 4 ' statue- that wood be a hell of a hole.

Suzlet- We apparently have something in common. Did I here you say you're poor? Or that you frequently poor youself a drink? Either way..........

God, I've got to do something constructive. Maybe I'll go down to the garden and walk on the broken down cornstalks with my new friends, Kudjo and the pit.

Man- can you fire your boss?

Oddly enough, since he knows I'm going back to school, and I'm only using him for free tuition, I have essentially fired him. He really has no authority over me whatsoever, I'm working entirely for my own benefit (in my opinion).

TT is Richard, our Founding King. You can read his heeelarryus posts in the first couple hundred pages or so, and then he got a serious job er sumfin, and we don't read him anymore. :(

Juday- I know it's upside down. Don't know what direction. Hope you didn't buy a 4 ' statue- that wood be a hell of a hole.

Yesssuree.. . .. .... ..regardless, we need to see Joooodie's St. Joseph. New av, please!

Speaking of avatars...........Sewzhinn and Shroooomie, we need to see youse guys!

Speaking of pictures, just went and had me drivers license renewed. We are now prohibited from smiling in any government issue photograph. No smile, smirk, no nuttin' where the corners of your mouth are turned up, even teenily.

So the government lady had me standing in front of her government issue camera and droned, "Look at the yellow dot. Please do not smile"...........there is a pause, and then she says, somewhat irritated, "PLEASE do NOT smile".

Well, I was not smiling. I could clearly feel my mouth, and it was neutral, a boring, straight line devoid of all sentiment and character, things that so often get in the way of proper identification. <_<

"Okay, here", I said, stretching my mouth-line as straight as I could make it.

"No...........you are smiling. Please stop smiling".

:huh:

:huh:

So, I frowned, big-time. Like a mug-shot, like I'd just been busted and was facing many years in prison.

She readied the camera, then said.........

"Your eyes are smiling".

:huh::huh::blink:

:lol: Dear gawd.

Yep. . . .......actually, it is very difficult not to smile when you are emphatically instructed to keep from doing so. :rolleyes:

PLUS: The camera lady was extremely funny-looking. Upon reflection, I believe she has been purposely assigned to that government picture-taking position since the regulations dictating non-smiling photos came into effect. The other feds are certainly crowding around and peeking out from the back, waiting for the word that there's some poor civilian shlep standing in front of Ms-Face-Like-a-Can-of-Worms' camera.

"Ahhh ah ah. . ......... . .can this one not react? No smile? Nooooooo, look! She can't help herself.....sheeeeee's trying.....but nooooooope.....trying not to look at her face........but there it is. .......A SMILE!" <_<

Are all men jerks? Versus Do all men misunderstand everything we say, misinterpret and fail to hear all we ask unless it is an invitation to have sex?

Due to some faulty wiring dating back to the middle ages, men have had the misguided misconception that anything that comes out of a women's mouth is, in actuality, a problem that can only be fixed by the supreme and worldly knowledge and advice of the so called 'dominant' species.

There is also speculation that even as far back as the caveman days, the male species erroneously believed that they alone had all the answers, when, in actuality, it was the cavewoman who realized that the best way to get the men out of their hair was to convince them that they were best suited to run all over the countryside chasing and killing wild creatures. This left the cavewoman free to take care of everything else. ;)

There is also the belief that the aforementioned faulty wiring created a short circuit to the auditory canal, ensuring that the male species has a permanent and irreparable distortion of the way they process any input at or near the decibel level of the female voice.

:huh:

I'm sure there's documentation on that somewhere...... . . .. .

:P

All right the saying must be true....men crawl out of the woodwork when youre married...

There apparently also exists a male sub-species who's wiring has deteriorated to the extent that their brain theoretically receives but somehow fails to process pertinent visual input, such as wedding pictures, wedding ring, etc. There is little hope that these individuals will be capable of reproducing any viable offspring. :rolleyes:

      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
