Holy smoke!

I've been smelling smoke for about an hour, and just went outside and it is really strong out there. There is a four-alarm fire burning about 1.5 miles east of the store. It started about an hour and a half ago.

I is home, well, work, and is really tired.

I met Ken Love!! My first c.com meeting!

He showed me all kinds a cool stuff and weird fruit and parks n' stuff. Awesome day. And he's an amazing cook. Do whatever he says when he talks about recipes.

Went hiking on my last day and got good and burnt. Got home at midnight. Spent lots of time snuggling cats. Got up at 5. Running out of steam.

I'll try to become more human over the next couple days. And put some pics on da book. Just realized that I got none of Ken. :o:huh: I'm such a dork

The news media have some pics of yesterday's big fire. They are striking, so I thought I would share one of them.

2e76323649a6964a6dec935dfaac.webp

The house is in a wooded area at the edge of a valley. Very expensive real estate in this neighbourhood. Ninety firefighters responded and took five hours to put it out.

A rainy morning here in Toronto, but it should clear for this evening.

Firefighters battle a blaze at a house in midtown Toronto, on Friday evening, Oct. 30, 2009.

It messed up traffic in the area pretty badly. The fire broke out just as the afternoon rush was starting, and two major streets were closed to traffic.

Is that the Jillian Michaels? I have the No More Trouble Zones and Boost your Metabolism. They're each about an hour and I'm swearing like a sailor by the end! But she kicks arse like I've never seen. ( much better than those Buns of Steel biotches, or the Dancing Grannies-if you've been watching Ellen

it IS Jillian Michaels - She is.........evil :lol: I have watched Biggest Loser a few times, will pay more attention now. she doesn't seem to be yelling at me too much in the DVD. :lol:

But - ain't no WAY I can do this for 30 days straight - egads - would SURELY suffer serious injury. Was so SORE yesterday, gimping around the office and cackling, could not do the workout.....well - wait, I could have - thought better against it. still VERY sore today, but must get to it!! <askeert>

Hey! Do those Mini Tesco Whores service the Twa?

no, I believe 'tis the Twa who service the Mini Tesco Ho's :lol: As clearly they have vacated Nik's (where is the CHWISTMAS TWEE??????) but...Nik did they help you carve that SPOOOOOOOKY fab pumpkin before they left? love it ;)

You say that now............

Plus it's Friday, in my office, anything goes on Fridays. It usually gets pretty raunchy here with 6 immature men and 1 rummy, sleep deprived, coffee guzzlin lady :P I will also try my very best to stay away from all the Halloween goodies I made yesterday and brought to work ;)

:unsure: um, rah-shelle, are we workin' in the same place? :lol: (no - there's only three guys usually, and moi, and one fab office mascot - The Weezelle :wub: )

...waived my eldest son Daniel off for his weekend in Amsterdam with a group of friends ( )......... he's just phoned, they MISSED their flight

:o yer boy is in Amsterdam? gadzooks *snackle* For the weekend? oh dear...yes, good thing inDEED 'tis not Devil Child going.....

(pholks, please realize I am conserving emoticonery here as will SURELY get busted )

:irritated face:

WHY WHY WHY can't we have as MANY emoticons as we WANT???? :ggrrrrrrrrrrrrr:

Ray-Shall.....looked up yer "boo-boo". 'Twas pseriously NOT a boo-boo. I stopped even reading those posts some time ago. Advice never taken (acknowledged), just the same ol' tiny violin. I have to say....you found a whole group of people supporting your stance and advice....which was wise advice.

yup, what Tea said!

TEA! sounds like you get quite a lot of activity wif yer daily stuff......dang, are you on your pheets all day at work? could NOT do it......back would give out.......

I used to watch . . . had a bad effect on me . . . I always got the munchies and seemed to sit down wif a bag of chips crisps or cookies bisquits whilst watching. Yes, I gained weight while watching The Biggest Loser.

gahhhhhhhhhhh *cackle* :lol:

I met Ken Love!! My first c.com meeting!

He showed me all kinds a cool stuff and weird fruit and parks n' stuff. Awesome day. And he's an amazing cook. Do whatever he says when he talks about recipes.

Poeter! Amazing photos, so sad. What absolutely GORGEOUS homes, with TREES, lots of big, gorgeous TREES, clearly not CLOVIS <_< Looks like I could be very happy living there. With Twa, of course, to clean and maintain things. ;)

Half our house burned down when I was in fourth grade....was w/ my parents and little brother at some good friends' house for dinner.....knew nothing of it until my brother called us, who just HAPPENED to stop by our house to get something (he was living elsewhere) and rescued my TINY, brand-new pure white kit-ten Puffy and our German Shepherd pup Greta. :) 'Twas surely God's providence. Puff, BTW, spent the night at our -across-the-street neighbors, and when I got him in the morning, he was covered in black soot! :wub:

Pads........are you all done w/ the apartment? and yer jet-set life? How's the house?

Hope Judith is doing well........is she on the road? Heading to Sunny California? B)

what's everyone doing fer halloween? I am having early dinner at PF Chang's w/ a friend from HS who found me on the 'book - second social engagement this week from peeps finding me! So much fun! My friend is 100 percent gluten-free as well (very exciting! she's not celiac but gluten-intolerant) so we are having an early dinner, then I will be home in bed, in the darkened house, avoiding hooligans :lol:

Happy Saturday, Sills! :)

We have some guests for the weekend...and we'll all be hiding behind curtains with outside lights off. We don't get trick or treaters here anyway. I think I can feel card games coming on!

Yeah, Psuess, I work on my feets all day. Can't stand the thought of ever having a sit-down job, although there are many days (these days) that I think I SHOULD have. I have always had much more physical jobs than this one. Miss those days of much energy and many muscles!

Pieter...glad the phires were not worse than that! They look bad, tho'.

Welcome home SJgess! What a wonderphul opportunity you've had.

Wicked winds here today..and storms brewing up. Must be Holloweenie!

Soooozle! What a story! Your dog and cat saved by your brother.....providence, fo sho' . .. . .. .... :)

Well, I was in and out of the city administration building in about five minutes. :huh::huh:

No line-up. Filled in the paperwork as I stood there, went ahead in, sat beside a nurse, felt the jab, then left.

People have been lined up by the THOUSANDS the last five days -- waiting times of two to six hours.

:huh:

:unsure:

Was it all a dream?

Incidentally, the first two weeks of shots are to be given only to those with underlying, compromising med. conditions.....I got in with my diabetes. I was curious about the celiac, though, so I asked the nurse if it alone would qualify me, and she immediately said, "Yes. It's autoimmune".

Hmmm. You'd think we'd be lowest priority. Crap, my immune system lets NOTHING past it - - even things it shouldn't destroy! Bits of gluten, beta cells....... Strongest system around, methinks... . . .... ... <_<:rolleyes:

Yeah, there's something about the immune system being stuck in overdrive. I don't seem to catch the sicknesses that people are suffering with all around me.....I just feel like krap because of the things the immune system targets that it shouldn't. Kinda like dropping bombs on your own cities. Glad you didn't have to deal with the hours long wait. I am passing on the jab....let someone else have it who may need it more.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
