Yup, you got that right Peter. Either 12 or 11 hours ahead (can't remember which daylight savings does to us ;) )

GAH!!!.. I forgot you was down under!!!

Just making the Gluten Free Goddess chocolate cake for dessert, having gone to the berry farm and purchased fresh raspberries. There is cognac cream in the fridge :) We shall be having scallops (scollops) and shrimp(s) as they say here, for starters, then barbecued beef with fresh corn on the cob 'mongst other things, followed by a nice long walk on the beach. Then return for chocolate cake and to watch movies we have been waiting to see. We kept all the family safely locked away in the North Island this year ;) Weatherman is promising 80 degrees and no nasty sea "breezes"; sure hope he's right. So a nice relaxing day of feasting.

80 degrees!........ *sigh*

Bit of a headache this morning. I think the Baileys and Godiva liqueur were fine, but perhaps filling the glass the rest of the way with vodka was not so clever

but quite tasty... :ph34r:

And 'Snakes on a plane' came in the mail yesterday, so I've got my morning planned out. Coffee and Barca lounger.

That is really cool! :D

OMGawd, me house smells good....I made dressing/stuffing, and a mince and pumpkin pie this morning. I want to get the complicated stuff out of the way today. Had to make bread fer the stuffing last week--haven't been eating it in me quest to lower carbs.

That quest, of course, is going out the window the next couple of days :lol:

This is our first Christmas away from the boys--and wifout Allo :( We actually got Allo on Christmas Eve 1991--he was so tiny :wub: He always loved Christmas, too--we always figured it was his first real memory of us, opening gifts and having all that paper to play in. He had his own stocking and expected his gift :D Just like the other kids :P

But alas, Mark and I are making the best of it.....we're going to PF Changs tonight avec many glasses of wine and tomorrow we might go to the movies. Actually looking forward to the long weekend to get some of this house stuff done that we've been wanting to do since we moved in.

<Need to leap into a time machine, fast forward enough years so that DC has left home .....or we can legally kick him out at least :ph34r:<_< >

I think I stressed even more when my kids grew up and moved out............I thought once they grew up, no more worries.........pfffft! <_<

We have one more day of business, but today set a record.

Awesome!!

I've been away too long.....but I'm caught up now. Been having some psilly on FB...or is that facegook!!!! (Love it!)

Ahhhhh....how I long for 80 degrees and sea breezes....on Christmas day or on any ol' day. I'm so jealous! We got snowed in Saturday and Sunday last...even the post offices closed down. The parking lots and sidewalks are still a mess. Not because it was so very much (only 20 inches), but because that small amount is actually a huge amount for here, and they don't handle it like the North Country does. Shoulda moved further south! But it would have been too far from home. Hating the cold, hating the weather....am struggling to get out of the struggle.

Mostly I wanted to say to all of you

MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Hugs all round and wishes for good health, contentment, peace and lots of moments of pure joy! For the New Year, I hope for all of you to feel that it's the best year you've ever had, each and every day.

Also wanted to thank all of you for the giggles, for allowing me to share in the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm so very grateful to have found psillyville and all of it's wonderful inhabitants!

'Till later...

Twas the morning of Christmas and over the lawn

The calls of the chickens were bringing the dawn

The hung-over neighbours were not pleased to hear

the raucous reminder that day will be here

The children were learning, with fudge covered hands,

white carpet was perfect to learn a handstand

I, with my 'puter, coffee in hand

greeted the psilles, in their wonderlands

when what to my wondering brain should appear?

A vision of joy in the coming new year

No losses will haunt us, no cars crumpled up

some house will be blessed with a kitty or pup

Our jobs will be better, our bosses sincere

giggles and laughter is all that we'll hear

So finish the eggnog (just a little more rum)

throw off the worry and throw off the glum

We carry each other through the good and the bad

the good is expanded, the bad, not so sad

A hug across countries; be merry I say!!

And peace to you all on this softest of days

Happy Boxing Day, all the psilly Commonwealthers!

I is soOoOoOoooOo.. . . ......

icon8.gificon8.gificon8.gif... . . . (((((sigh)))))).....

'Tis amazing that still, with all the food restrictions inherent in celiac and diabetes, one can overindulge like I have done. Low-suger, gluten-free foodstuffs that are amazingly packed with fat, alcohol, jet fuel.......all perfectly legal with both diseases -- they surrounded me yesterday, and continue to do so for the weekend.

I pheel VERY PHAT.

<_<

:rolleyes:

Hope yesterday was terrific for everyone. Today is the Ripper's THIRTEENTH birthday. He awoke this morning with his first zit, right inside his nostril. Good and bad: 'tis tough to get to, but not easily seen. I must relay that one of the first things Jack said as he was trying to see it in the mirror, and I stood behind him commenting on how fortuitous it was, having a first zit appear on the day of passage into teenage-hood, was "Whoa. .. . .. ......you need to tell the Psillies about this".....

:lol::lol:

Superb poem, Jyessssss! :lol:

Hi, Sooooze! How great to read you. . . ......

YOU are the poet!!

I got a shopping spree at J Jill B) And the entire phirst season of Big Bang Theory on DVD!

I must say I love both of these! If I had to chose, J Jill would win but......

I got a beautiferous winter white wool coat from Kurt. So pretty I'm afraid to wear 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...

      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!
