We're staying home for now. No sense in having an entourage back and forth. David will call if it's a go. :)

<TRYING to download a smiley central DEAD MAN emoticon.............will not work :angry: >

<and just HOW do I get me smileys??? what website? it's not working!!!!!!!!!!>

Nobody answered this.....and I'm no expert by any means :unsure:.........pseriously :huh:

I'm skeert to download things, so I google 'free emoticons' and only pick stuff I can click on and hijack, so to speak.....using that little box thing that Jan-knit mentioned. :blink:

Sometimes I think it's a miracle I'm even here! :ph34r:

Alexis, you vex us,

This waiting just wrecks us. . . . ..... :rolleyes:

I think she knows, that wee Alexis, that she has an international audience awaiting her arrival; drama queen already :lol:

mentalpause

*snort*

Menopause.....I went through it at aproximately 8AM on January 3, 2007 when they yanked out all me equipment :rolleyes: No HRT it'all, so the rest of that year was "interesting"--lots of hot and cold and all the rest. I'll tell ya thought--when everything settled down at the end of a year's time or so,

Mark and I petered out last night-

Menopause lasts five years if you don't take HRT, five years if you do,....Eggsacly the same, seems to me; you just feel like you must be making a difference with the HRT :P

Petered out, didja??? If you was down here ya probbly wouldn't say that. :lol: :lol: They use Peter for Dick interchangeably here, :o

Well.......back to the hospital :rolleyes:

Now you's making sense. And then she'll just pop out when you're not looking :o

My garden had a nice drink last nite whilst we slept and this morning the sun is trying to peep through. Now that's the way the world is supposed to be arranged :D

Visited a physio named Sven yesterday to see if we could do something to get this rickety bod moving again, now that I have my new electric slat bed inserted into the old bed frame..aaahh!! :D No more sleeping in the recliner chair!!!! :o Seven years ago we bought two super single slats inserted into a king-size frame just for such an eventuality. T'is obvious now that I won't ever comfortably sleep in a normal bed again(after the 3 months at Tahoe, so might as well enjoy my sleeps at home :D :D

Anyway, Sven has organized a strengthening programme for me and has come up with a brilliant manner of standing whilst prepping food at the counter, which must look funny as hell but works...legs wide apart, "bum" as he calls it tightened up, and lean pelvis against edge of the counter. Takes all the stress off the area of the fracture and the spinous erector muscles. Now mebbe all this "from scratch" gluten free cooking will not be such a chore! :rolleyes::)

Whats going on here? LOL

Oh, I was AFRAID someone was going to ask this someday. We don't know. I think we're like Seinfeld- a thread about absolutely NUTtin' (emphasis on the NUT!)

The jewels and scepter remain somewhat tarnished tonight. There was no polishing of the royal assets.

Uh-oh....will heads roll? :P

Judee- You snuggle up wif that heating pad as much as you need. That packing is for the birds!

who in hell gets up at 4:30 in the morning in HAWAII?????

Our Geoss- parties till dawn and then goes swimming! She's crazy but we love her!

Extremely cranky that I have to go and represent the TC (my "job") tonight at this function WITHOUT MY BOSS :angry: do NOT want to go.......no no no no NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :huh: Have a zit on my chin the size of a pea.....hair is PSYCHOTIC, and getting worse all the time :( Am VERY cranky, and do NOT want to go ANYWHERE, but most especially doing an activity that requires me to promote something that I think is GNUTS (our youth program).

Whine away and send me a screwdriver! Did it help? ;)

Paddeigh- Glutamination- just plain wrong :angry:I'm sorry it happened. It IS worse when it hasn't happened in awhile....makes you remember how wretched it is. Hope you feel better soon!

There are worse things than inebriation, you know. Sobriety is at the top of my list.

The King hath spoken!

Well.......back to the hospital :rolleyes:

......I think this one's the real thing :P

YAHOO! A new silly will be born (today? tomorrow? next week?). Hopes and wishes for a safe, speedy delivery for mom and wee Alexis!

My mom has been on Premerin for 40 years :huh: Just recently did they at least cut her dosage--and she's in her 70's. Horrifying to me, but "if the doctor says it, it has to be so" <_<

She also has perfect blood pressure, but is on meds for that too.....just in case :o

Egads, that's awful!! Wean her off it...Had one friend who had two mini strokes while on HRT (attributed to the HRT), another who kept upping her doseage because she thought it kept her from aging and ended up with a DVT :o Wish I had never taken it; only did the Premarin for a year then did the "natural" stuff. Still sweated and palpitated just the same.

Waaay Keeoool!!! Stared at it for a minute.....just watching all that info. phlash before my eyes! Boggles the mind....but would be a great meditation enhancer!! :P

Waitin' patiently for the new psille arrival....right there with KurlyNaNa! :D

Poooooor poooor ol' GjEyouSS! Havin' to work...in Havaya! Nice you had some free time to have some phun. Would still love to be there too! Even if I had to sit and listen to yer presentation. (yeah, yeah, I was there! Really! You probly couldn't see me cause I was sittin' behind the lady with big hair :P )

Haaaaannnngg on Psuessy, Psuessy hang on! Yeah yeah. Yeah yeah (imagine music notes here).

Pah-tay...hope your poisoning problems are short-lived! Kills me, how sneaky that crap can be!

Speaking of Crap.....I found that sympathy that Em-in-Em was looking for......in the dictionary....right between *sht* and syphalis! :lol:

Psuess.....Peaches is just fine. We adore her no end!! She still thinks she should be able to balance on 2 feet, and walk that way. She is NOT a lap cat (much to our dismay), and will tolerate being held for short periods, but seems to have a fear of being "held down" (at least that's our feeling). But she loves to have me lay on the floor with her, or on the bed, and we can do the cuddle and purrrrrr that way. Makes me wonder just what her first weeks were like. She is still hunting and dismembering many crickets, exercising her right to cruelty on hapless helpless victims. She also has come to expect that at suppertime she will get her share of whatever we are having......tho' she does not always agree that what we are having is particularly pleasing. <_<:lol:

Wishing happpy, healththy days to you all.

Keep it shiny everybody!

A girlfriend called me not long ago and asked if I wanted to go out for a drink that evening. I couldn't, so after a pause she asked, quite seriously, "Is Jack free to go out for a drink?" :rolleyes:

Congratulations, Gramma Leeeesargh!

October 23rd.. .. . . ....so she is right on the cusp - - Libra-Scorpio.. . . . ......

Being born on the cusp could be described as standing on a threshold between two rooms, not exactly in one or the other, with the ability to step either forward or back depending on what's happening in your life. This can be the source of flexibility and complexity, or it can be the cause of a great deal of confusion. Some cusp babies literally feel pulled in two, as the zodiac signs right next to each other are different in element, quality and presentation.

Libra/Scorpio Cusp (October 19-23)

Libra is ruled by Venus, is an Air element and Cardinal (active) in quality. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, is a Water element and Fixed (stubborn) in quality. Libra's gift for love, for balance, and for partnership makes strange bedfellows with Scorpio's tendency for secrets, drama and deception. The best use of all this dynamic energy is to create life transforming, creative relationships between people or organizations.

Sounds like a complex, wondrous li'l girl!! :):)

      @catnapt,  I apologize.  Obviously I've confused you with someone else.  I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications.  Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.   You still have not said which new medication you started taking.  Parathyroid disorders can affect antibody production.  Bone Loss Correlated with Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Adult Celiac Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36619734/ Effect of vitamin B1 supplementation on bone turnover markers in adults: an exploratory single-arm pilot study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12075007/

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me        
    • knitty kitty
      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?
    • catnapt
      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
