Yeah, Jess, the more clothes you buy, the more you eventually have to wash.

This evening is the fifth anniversary of my first post on the board. I lurked for several months before signing up so I could respond to a survey by a high school student who was also a moderator at the time. Molly isn't here often, but I see her on da book frequently.

Celiac, diagnosed by biopsy June 2000

Type I diabetic, diagnosed March 1986

Male, age 50

Hope this helps!

Had the day off today. We're back in the store tomorrow and Wednesday, then off until Monday.

Cold weather moving in. Going down to -16C (2F) overnight with the wind chill -27 (-17F).

:angry::angry: I bought these thangs a few weeks ago -- they are completely USELESS in my thin, fine, poker-straight hair. Will NOT stay in, even with some serious back-combing and spray.

I am a lost cause, 'twould seem.

POeter, methinks that you would have better luck -- I'll mail them to you.

FIL called last night and has invited himself and MIL and BIL (that I haven't seen in 15 years) over . . . house hasn't been dusted since before Thanksgiving, still unpacking from the Christmas trip, pile of about 10 garbage bags full of quarentined stuff from the delousing stuff still located in the dining room . . . really looking forward to this visit <_<

Jyaghnutt's got TMJ! Methinks this stands for Too Much Junk, and yes, your in-laws can help you to clean it all up and out. Take those muscle relaxants NOW.....you will not care about the muddles and the dust. :rolleyes:

I was just contemplating something... . . ....I think I will try one of those useless Bumpits, currently sitting in a back bathroom drawer, underneath my boobs. Now THIS may work....... ..

And if I get sidetracked again,

Happy New Year!!! :lol:

Meant to get on here and send you wishes on Thursday but twas up to me eyeballs in gluten-free pie crusts and fillings :rolleyes:

Had a great holiday with no drama--except for Max's face after he hit the pavement at 10pm on Xmas eve (pic on FB). Maybe he got into the rum.... :huh:

PSILLIES!!!!

Whatcha get???

I am totally in lurve wiv me new camera!! (thank-you Daniel!!)

Today I am back to work and I begrudgingly had to remove my new UGG boots I've had on since Christmas day, I'd sleep in them if hubby would allow them in bed :P

New guitar, so I will now learn to play and I'll write you all a song! :D

"Kids" got a wii, now my dd and I cannot raise our arms over our heads. Makes getting dressed difficult :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".....

I have one in the same spot, hurts to move my face!!

My worst gift EVER? A little ice scraper for my windshield, and actually, if that is the worst I can come up with, I think I'm one lucky goil..... . .it's pretty useful 'round here right now... . . ....

Um, guess where I found the shake weight-----Target!!!!!!! :lol:

Poor Nik--already queasy and has to listen to bones breakin :o Gawd.....I'm wif ya'll on the laundry--had a ton of it since I didn't touch it over the weekend. Just phinishing it up now......

I've washed the same load of whites 3x now because they've been in there for a week and I can't seem to get them in the dryer. You can barely get into my bathroom because the laundry basket has purged itself all over the floor in disgust!

Muscle Relaxants won't be ready until 2pm . . . the visit will be over by then . . . perhaps I can use them to forget.

We are in quite a quandry over New Year's.

We have been going to a friend's house every New Year's Eve for years. It's a tradition. This year we have also been invited to another friend's party. The same place we went for Halloween. He has hired these people from a dinner theater murder mystery to perform, then dancing after that. So do we stick with tradition? Split our time between the two? And if we do that........do we attend the dinner/murder mystery part (which I probably won't be able to eat), or the dancing part?

I would laugh till I peed my pants if someone said this to me. If you are someone who takes pleasure in either cleaning, or a clean house, more power to you. I, however, prefer to deal with the mess by simply going somewhere else so I don't have to see it. It all just gets messy again, why do anything?

Jess, you are invited to come to my house anytime you want . . . :lol:

They lasted 45 minutes. Right before they came over, my FIL called to say BIL is allergic to dogs . . . poor JoDog, she really enjoys company . . . so after 45 minutes, BIL could no longer breathe. I did vacuum up the dog hair tumble weeds that were blowing through the kitchen prior to their arrival but there are layers upon layers of dog hair here . . . just no way to get rid of it all . . . probably stirred it all up during the vacuuming, too. Oh well, the house is a tad cleaner because they came.

Mornin', Peeps! I know, I know, but it is here.

The year my hubby bought me "all things to make my life easier": Floormate (special wet-vac for wood floors), iron, iorning board, blender, dust buster <_<

Ah, bless his heart. He is planning on being a busy lad! Just hand him his "mother's little helper" tools every Saturday morning and say "Thank you so much dear!". :lol:

My sister gave us a ceramic pukeko (native. colorful, . semi-wading bird) which has red iron legs (two) and there are three!!! holes in the bottom of the bird for you to figure out how he is supposed to stand. Of course you nae can have him standing inside unless very!!! deep pile carpet, so next problem is where to put 'im outside where the wind wont blow the poor wee fellow away on his long red stilty legs which just insert somehow into his body :o In our climate I will need to glue them in and tie him down, I reckon. For example, when I started this it was a calm sunny morning; now there is rain spattering on the windows and the wood pigeon on the telephone wire is clinging on for dear life in the face of a howling south-wester :rolleyes:

T'is cruise ship season, and every other day another unsuspecting shipload of visitors disgorges on our shores, not knowing wotinell to expect. Yesterday, the Vollendam with 2000 passengers descended on poor wee Stewart Island, way down at the bottom (nearest the Antarctic) and this same southerly bluster greeted them. At least Oban is on the leeward side. All 600 residents set out to make these folks feel welcome and enjoy the wonders of a pristine environment, and apparently a good time was had by all (pictures on telly of Americans eating crayfish and fish and chips, and of a lone 13-year-old lad serenading them ashore from the tender with his ukelele singing a slightly out-of-tune song--quite sweet really :rolleyes: )

Hope you are all having a great day.

      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.
