Well, once again I have missed the Big Show from Oahu. Got into the store about a quarter to twelve, got the laptop set up, tried to connect to the beach camera about five to, and it would not load and Firefox crashed. Tried again, and Firefox did an encore performance. Tried to restart Windows, but it hung and did not shut down. Phinally pressed and held "power off" and rebooted cold, and it is working, but Jess is long gone. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Leeesa, exciting news!

ranger Enthusiast

Wah! I missed it. Dumb computer. Dumb selph! :ph34r:

Will Alexis be a wee-silli? :D

Why do we live in the midwest? Because we don't want to be swallowed up by a huge sunami, or slidden into the sea. That's a phact!

Later. I have got to buy a heater. Because I live in the MIDWEST. Or am I in the mid east? Or, am I in one of the mid-Atlantic states? Where am I?

Then refreshed. Jess was gone but saw a guy walk through talking on his phone and he waved also . . . I'm pretty sure he was waving to us, too.

OMG. . . . ........You are right, he WAS waving at us, as well. . . .......I just know it. It must have been another Psilly.

Ptaoughmghmn? Are you down in Hawaii?

.....Perhaps it was the Jester. Was he staggering?

YAY!!! Alexis is coming!! :):)

As I walked away a passing woman smiled and said I looked like I was having fun. I explained about the camera and she starting laughing and said 'I just thought you were nuts'.

Gad....you mean, few people who walk by there know about the camera aimed at them? Hell, glad I am not strolling obliviously past that monument.......I'd be pickin' my nose er digging my shorts outta me bum, fer sure..... . . ... :lol:

T'is so dark today I don't think it was worth the sun gettin' out of bed <_<

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Same here, and I don't think he's even gonna boffer, might get drownded :o And they are even mentioning the "S" word WIH? T'is nearing the end of October. Think of the poor wee lambies, forevvins sake :huh:

On another note........

We may be meeting wee Alexis soon! :D

Yay, Leesa, a happy event...nanahood :D

'I just thought you were nuts'.

:rolleyes::lol: She may be right, ya know. I was all tucked up in me bed and missed ya :( , but how many peeps would make a fool of theirselphsthe effort to do this??

Because I live in the MIDWEST. Or am I in the mid east? Or, am I in one of the mid-Atlantic states? Where am I?

I always thought US defininitions of midWEST were absolutely crazy :P Ohio to me is in the midEAST, and Kansas is in the midDLE, and Utah is in the midWEST and Alaska is the west (and also the Antarctice). Regardless what ye call it though, Sluzan, best get thee a heater fast if ye don't live in Florida :lol:

Psills, I just went to the funeral of my 97 year-old aunt, the last of my mother's family (all ten of them) and fully compus mentus and still avidly supporting the local rugby team, and whilst I was gone the last of my father's family (six of them) died too (at 92, the baby :o ) So that means my parents' entire generation is gone :huh: It feels such a loss, somehow, because although I am left with what started out as 42 first cousins, we don't have anything in common any more and they seem (and are) total strangers :blink::unsure: to me. Thank goodness one can choose one's phriends..... :)

I'm so sorry about your aunt, Shroomie. I know what you mean about the cousins, though. I haven't seen some of mine since I was a kid, and even the others I don't really have anything in common with either. The years go by and one day you look up and so much has changed......

This is so poignant, Shroomie... . . ......the last of a generation. But wow, what great genetic markers you have within you! All those dear relatives living into their nineties.... . . . ......right commendable! :)

Alexis is being fickle already. She's changed her mind.........waiting for warmer weather....or more likely, for everyone to go back to work. <_< Her daddy and I had today off.

Sounds so much like my own. My Dad in among the youngest in a very large family, and many of them are still going (his family seemed to have longevity....or maybe they all just seemed old when I was a kid). One of my sisters is tossing about the idea of family reunion (we used to do this when "us" were young...but not in many, many years), and is having a good time trying to track down "the cousins" (also 40 something...I forget how many). Could be a heck of a crowd if it can be pulled off...a lot of us not only have chilluns..but gran'chilluns, too....and we are all over the country!

Nana Kurley.....she'll be here in her own good time....just hope she doesn't keep y'all waitin tooooo long! How's the mama feeling?

Hey, gang!

Did Jyesss say she was flying home today? Cannot recall.. . ......man, I was looking at our globe, and did not realize until now how incredibly far away from all civilization those group of islands are.... . ..in the middle of the Pacific. I think Hawaii is actually closer to Japan than to the States!

Just threw a questionable-looking rump roast into trusty crockpot. Come six o'clock, I am hoping for a delectable, beefy masterpiece. Hope it does its magic!

jerseyangel Proficient

Mornin all :D

Em.....I'm sure yer roast will be delectable--I swear you could throw an old shoe in a crock pot, add some onions, cook all day and it would be a meal :lol: The ole crock tease is pure magic :lol:

Lee-sa....how's the baby watch? Anything happen overnight?

Sills--I'm sore in places I didn't know I had :o Last night we started putting an epoxy finish on the garage floor.....what a production! We had to etch it first (did this on Sunday) and then wash. By last night it was dry, so we mixed up the first batch of the stuff and ended up getting the floor about 2/3 done. All the edging is done (by moi) and it really looks incredible.

We'll finish it up tonight, and since we have the apartment till the end of the month we won't have to park on it for almost 2 weeks. Today, I have more packing to do.....every time we go over there, we load up the car.

Does Jess go home today? How cool was seeing her yesterday? :D:D

Another beautiful day here--got me winders open B)

Man I missed a lot. Not paying attention to the date of Jyess's show, I was excited that it's approaching 9am, but alas, that was yesterday wasn't it, and now I'm depressed I missed the phun!

We were at the beach all weekend. 16 family members sharing one house and a freezer-full of booze. Needless to say, I didn't do much yesterday AT ALL. Thank God for rain, couldn't bear to look at the sun <_< My children learned a colorful new set of words, mostly revolving around the "F" word. I had to have multiple chats with them about appropriate language--sooooo praying ds doesn't drop an f-bomb at school today...... :huh:

Sorry about the lay-off's Sleoozin and Leeza, I hope things turn around quickly.

Happy to see everyone is on the mend!

This reminds me of the time my two kids, around ages five and two, were downstairs arguing. Jack, only just beginning to talk in sentences, was giving Sophie regular hell for stepping on his Lego, or knocking his tower down.... . . . . ....I heard the yelling getting louder, back and forth, until Sophie suddenly screamed, "Oh, yah?? Well, EFF - YOO - KAY!!!"

When my older son was about 4, we were on a day trip with friends. The husband was good-naturedly teasing, and my son called him a "d%$#@#$bag" :lol:

The guy's mom was there and she very calmly looks over and said quietly "did he just say d%$#@#$bag? :lol::lol::lol:

I can laugh now--this had to be 25 years ago :P

celiac-mommy Collaborator

Douchebag is such a great word!! :)

When my dd was 4, we had just returned home from dinner with my potty-mouthed father. She walked in the house, accidently dropped her bag down the stairs and I heard "sh*t" My husband froze at the sink. Thinking I couldn't possible have heard her correctly I said, "Madeleine, WHAT did you say?" She said, "sh*t!" I said (louder), "What did you say?" Louder yet she said. "SH*T" Yelling now, I said "Madeleine Elizabeth WHAT DID YOU SAY?" yelling back now, annunciation every syllable, she said, "I----SAID---SH*T!!!!" My DH was doubled over at the sink laughing, and she turned the corner where I was and gave me a big smile, like, "you really wanted to know." I was trying so hard not to laugh while explaining to her papa has a foul mouth and she was not allowed to talk like him!!

      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
