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.

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.

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      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.

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @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/
