Thanks for sharing the excerpts from Fiddler!!! Sunrise Sunset always, always makes me teary (sssshhhhhh, don't tell anybody!) l'chaim makes me all giggly inside. How lovely life would be if we could celebrate lifes joys together....dancing, singing, not afraid to pass off a hug, or kiss, or to touch in fondness. Of course....I suppose the myriad glasses of assorted alcohols plays a part in this (?!?!?). I think that I find a bit of that here....a group that shares in the joys and the pain in the lives of each other with no other agenda than to care. :wub::wub::wub:

Okay...done with the mushy stuff. JGoesS...I suppose you (all) dance just like that, too :P The bouncing boundless energy, the calories burned.....oooooh, I'm so envious.

Hey! Jude!....How are you doing over there? Hopefully hanging in there, and receiving some good news finally.

Have a shiny day all!

Haven't been around for a couple of days..Hard to catch up.

Em! A new dog . How grate and cheesy! Jon and I are still talking about getting one. we'll see.

Jess. You should sue those people, but thank God you have song and dance in your life. I used to be a fiddler, but never on a roof.

Lisa. At first, I thaught that was a painting on a bald man's head! It made more cents when found out it was a big ol' preggers belly!

Nik, I used to be a runner till my right knee gave out. Then, I walked for years, which was good. Then, I started to get sick and stopped. I want so bad to start again. Can someone kick me in the but to get me going?

To all the rest of you, just keep truckin'.

Big announcement. I have not had a smoke for 24 hours! This time, I think it's going to stick. Maybe that is part of losing me silly (that and the depresso weather change). This too shall pass.

It's funny though. Last night, I kept dreaming of cigs..I don't think Iv'e ever dreamt about cigs! And these were not fresh, clean cigs, but rather dirty stinky butts. Maybe that's a good sign

Emmel's getting a new furry friend!!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!

But de-barked? Evil, barbaric, nasty, horrid.........I cannot believe the things people do to their animals. I *had* a friend who was going to have her standard de-barked (note: I said *had* a friend.....that's typical for her).

Elsie will make a great interpreter......I'm so happy for you Em!

What wuunderphul news Em! 'Twill be a lucky dog fer sher! I didn't know you could de-bark a dog :angry:I've know a good many dog-owners that needed de-barking.

Exactly......nothing more needs saying!

Patti- Your chocolate hazelnut decaf tea last night sounded delish!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK- I have a confession. I generally do NOT like musicals (I'm with Susie on this one!) but I LOVE Fiddler on the Roof. No idea why- not Jewish, Russian, don't like musicals but it's SUCH a great story!!!!

TRADITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I've been out of commision. Trying to force myself out of a cold, slicing open my fingers by being stupid, thank God for that Pumpkin Spice Latte yesterday to bring me back to life, I got soooo much accomplished yesterday! It's taken me a while to catch up.....

Man..... ......looks like we need a new furnace... . ....Gah..... . . .. :angry::o

Ours went out at the tail end of our massive snow storm last year, had no choice but to replace it. The morning they came to hook up the new one, it was 54 degrees in our house!!! My poor kids were wearing 2 sets of pj's, hats and socks to bed :huh:

Last year I brought in a plant that I wanted to winter inside (would not have made it outside and it was 'spensive). Apparently it was infested wif gnats (eggs in the dirt?) What do you do to prevent that?? What do you do if it happens anyways? . . . :ph34r: . . . btw, plant died anyway (hubby's fault).

I brougt a pineapple home 2 weeks ago that was apparently infested. I've been trying since then to get rid of them-finally found something that works: Get rid of any produce that is out-everything must go into the fridge. Make sure you have no dishes left in your sink at all times and your garbage can is covered. Now take a shallow dish, pour an inch or so of CIDER vinegar into it and a piece of banana peel, cover tightly with plastic wrap, make sure there are no wrinkles and poke a few SMALL holes in the top with the tip of a sharp knife. The gnats get in and can't get out. Overnight, I caught so many I can't even count them. I put a trap on each side of the sink and under, where I keep the garbage can.

Or get everyone snuggies.

My dd got one for her birthday. I thought it was sooooo funny, but she LOVES it and wears it to bed at night while she reads so "her arms don't get cold"

Use your Wiccan elements to help you with your smoking cessation:

Air and Earth: Go outside, take some cleansing breaths and go for a nice walk or hike

Fire and Water: Light a loverly candle and take a super hot bath with epsom salts to help you detox

These, in turn, will elevate your Aether (spirit) and aid you on your journey

If that doesn't work, get morbid--my SIL's mom was diagnosed on Friday with advanced brain and lung cancer-she's been a lifelong smoker...

Morning all!!!!!!!!! :D

EM!! What doggy news????

POeter!!....finally I watched 'Flash Forward' (had to watch the repeat last night as I missed it Monday)

I LOVED it!!!....am totally enthralled!

......and did my eyes deceive me???....did I see Seth McFarlane in it?? (creator of Family Guy)

<I missed Robert's cameo BTW :rolleyes:>

JOODEE!!...my luv, you're SO near!!..... GADS it'd try the patience of a saint eh? :angry:

I think my blood pressure has come down a tad after speaking to Martin's (Devil Child's) teacher on the phone.

Dear gaaaaawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!,...... that woman winds me up like no other.....now I'm fully aware of ALL DC's shortcoming's, but is it really necessary for her to try and belittle and patronise my parenting skills every time we speak :rolleyes:

T'is tiresome and methinks it maybe makes HER feel better about her LACK of professional abilities somehow :blink:

We have arranged a face to face tomorrow...i'll be making meself crystal clear (whilst at the same time trying not to make it worse for DC :blink: )

It's SO tricking when someone's constantly running down your child NOT to go in all guns blazing....but I think I'm fair and have been totally supportive (I ALWAYS punish him for any wrong doing at school)......... but she be digging TOO far now.

<On the quiet (although I'd NEVER admit it to DC) I can see why he called her the name he did :ph34r:>

WELL.. . . . . .. :wub::wub: .. .. . .....last evening was a busy one. . ....

Charles is here!

He is a big, regal, loverly sub-standard......he is classified as blue-black. Elsie is over the moon. Pic up soon - - black is difficult to make out in a pic, so I dunno if any shot will do him justice. We're just getting to really know him. He's quite wunnerful.

Heard him try to bark last night -- a hoarse kind of wheezing sound..... . .poor thing. :(:angry::angry:

Sleeeooozin! Congrats on the start of this smoke-free journey! You can do it.

I would take Rashyelle's second option, here -- quicker brain response..... <_<

Jooooodie, I didn't think it could get worse for ya. . .....so sorry. You two are working so hard, and getting a smackdown at every turn, it seems. hang in there, friend... :wub:

Nik! Go give that principal some pserious face!

Off to run with the dogs now......Charles is terrible on a leash - - has never been walked (spent the first couple of years of his life in a tiny apartment, had to pee and poop on the balcony) :angry::angry: .....so we'll see how it goes!

Ave ya looked out my window today? It's 52, raining, and windy! I ain't crazy (oh, wait, I am!) .Speaking of morbid, last year I had a renter - a strong man, who was preparin to hike the Appalachian Trail, and had a hard, physical job. He started to complain of back problems. Pretty typical for an older man. Didn't think much of it. But, I watched him quickly go down hill. He started walking more stooped and was losing a lot of wieght. I begged him to go see a doc and even took him food. 2 mns. later (Apr 28) he came to my house and expained that he had stage IV lung cancer and was moving in with his son that day. He died May 4. He was a life-long smoker. Some people are slow learners. I must be one of them. :ph34r::ph34r:

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.

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

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
