Bevel, Bevel, you ARE me surely?? (with 2 more presents than I) :lol:

Amateurs! I have nowt......and have no desire to shop. Before a few weeks ago, I thought there wouldn't be any money......'twas an easy out, actually. ;)

I have nothing against shopping, per se.........just the pressures of Christmas.

.....and who wants to leave the comforts of home to battle the crowds and traffic when it's freezing outside??????.......maybe I should move in with Neroli B)

But with grown kids, money works :P

I love me mother-in-law. :) She lives about 20 minutes away, but rarely comes to my house. She thinks her son is lucky to have me :P

I want a heated bed!.....I wouldn't leave either!.....fighting the urge to hibernate, already

Mornin' all B)

Matt's computer is acting s-l-o-w this AM, I've already rebooted it once. We're doing well sharing his tiny (and I mean wee) kitchen. Actually, he's more than happy to let me completely take over all duties within :P

I've been waiting 8 months to get me hands on this house--as ya'll may remember, we moved him in and had to move ourselves 5 days later. I'm doing some painting, lots of cleaning, and we're gonna work a little on the front yard this weekend. It's supposed to be cold but sunny, so we'll see.

JP (older son) took us to Changs Saturday night--the waiter was so savvy about Celiac/food allergies. It was great.....and the 2 hour wait fer a table left room for much drinking before dinner :rolleyes: A good time was had by all :lol:

Jess--I think you could use a heated kitty bed about now :) Are you up studying?

True dat--mine prefer it :)

I love me mother-in-law.

My MIL is great. She just turned 90 and is still independent--living in the same house she and her husband bought right after they were married. I wouldn't mind at all if she lived nearby--in fact, we've told her she's welcome to move in wif us if she wants. She's just not ready to do that yet. :)

Yeah, me too! However, I've heard from many sources throughout life that this is essentially what husbands are for.... . . ..and I DO have one o' those... .. ..but a heated bed...just sounds so... ....cozy. . ......... :rolleyes:

Ah, the Christmas consumer push. A number of years ago, my extended family cut WAY back. I buy for our two kids and DH, something for me mom and we usually contribute to MIL's flight cost, and that is usually it. My siblings and I long decided that what is so paramount is for us to all be together, as much as possible, over Christmas -- this is the real gift that we give to one another. Sounds so sappy, but 'tis true... . . .I want and need nothing, just to be with my family.

My family.. ... .... . ...and my MIL. . . . ... ........... .. <_<

There are so many of us in our family with aunties, uncles, and cousins-and now everyone is gettin serious boyfriends/girlfriends/fiances, that there are too many peeps to buy for that we draw names 2 months before Christmas and we have a cap on how much you can spend. It makes it sooooo much easier. I give my kids "the talk" in November about what Christmas is really about and not to plan on a lot of gifts (that is until the MIL goes against our wishes and sends a pallet-YES A PALLET of presents for them <_< ) We spend Christmas Eve and day eating as much as we possibly can, getting plowed and giggly and talking, singing and being just plain jolly! I LURVE Christmas!!! :D

It's not exactly big enough for Lyle. He's either tightly curled, or has body parts draped over the edge. You could choose which part of the lion to warm.

Just a quick poop-in after a couple of computer abyss days (t'is the season apparently). After much technical to and fro, a visit from the TelCo, much frustration, turns out *someone" screwed up the payments (no, not moi); cancelled the credit card charge but forgot to set up the automatic debit back in June :o So they sent us an email telling us about it the day after they cut us off (our ISP is a real genius company, about as genius as dh) :lol:

Loved the pink gloves!! Rayshelle--no more pickles, unless you really want them :o:rolleyes:

Lion Lyle will nevah get out of that heated bed unlessen you turn it off!! Well, maybe for food....

Have a respiratory infection; thought I had fought it off but with no immune system, I am heading for the doc tomorra to see if I can avoid antibiotics :( Feel like s.h.i.t. Third Christmas season in a row I've been unwell. It's getting old. Sent dh off to the Probus Christmas lunch today by himself (well, not really, he's picking up a new member whom I had promised a ride--I've never met her but I told him she was gorgeous. Hope it's not so :P )

reaching incoherent babbling stage. Slept in til 5:15 today. Having Pamela's cookies for breakfast.

Director and music director have made up after their on-stage screaming match yesterday. Costume designer and director have gotten over their screaming match. No one dissolved into tears from their apron falling off (OK, the aprons are pinned on now). How do I always forget this part of working with actors?

Good Morning, Psillies!

A bit long, but quite an amusing, truly Canadian piece as we gear up to mail off our Christmas cards.......

Open Original Shared Link

Speaking of which! Guys, the recession has geared things down for us considerably this year, and we're cutting all fat. So, we are not sending out Christmas cards this year, and I'm quite sad that I won't be connecting with all the Psills like we did last year.

Guess it'll be a big group email this time. . . ....hafta try and make it spectacular!

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins...

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.
