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

Bought Lyle a new heated kitty bed.

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!

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

      @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...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.

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

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
