Trying this.

Me too. Thinking of the Grand Marnier.

Careen, when you have a quote that fizzles like your last one, you have accidentally deleted the "end quote". You can go back and put it in by typing open square colon, followed by slash, followed by "quote" leaving out the quote marks, and then close square colon.

Now who made up that stoopid rule??? I do not follow it :P

Admittedly, it was easier not to follow the rule when we had a very fartuous Airedale around. :lol:

Mine oven is broke, but it's okay, it's not the oven that won't turn off, only the light. And I can't just unplug it. There is a master switch to turn the oven on and off and the oven stays fully "on" in either position. Do you suppose I should warn the repairman about that??? :o There is no access to the plug that either hub or I am willing to explore, this being 220 and all.... could get someone killt or something.

Wet day today, hooray, didn't have to water garden, but drivers is so stoopid. Had to go to town and see Miss Mary who had a little sidetrip to hospital last week but bounced right back, BUT has not been taking her meds in the evening for at least three weeks and is not eating much except meat pies and bread and butter :o (and three Weetbix with cream on an empty stomach before bedtime) which precipitated the little hospital episode. At 97 she is still fiercely independent but really not up to properly caring for herself. She is such a worry. She won't consider care whilst her kitteh is still wif her :) So bought fixings to make her a big pot of stew and freeze in portions because she luvs stew :D Think she can still use microwave. She said she *only* fell three times this week, but it's okay because she falls backwards!!

:huh:

:unsure:

:rolleyes:

(And she's only had two broken hips and only one knee replacement)

G'Day, Peeps!

Think I'll have me eyes open for the entire day, today. Well... . . . ......unless a canvasser comes a' knockin'.... .. . . . . ..:rolleyes:

There is a master switch to turn the oven on and off and the oven stays fully "on" in either position.

Holy crap, Shroom...... .yer oven is ON perpetually? Like your fridge and freezer?? How bizarre.... . . . . ..um, why? Don't get it -- and how much power is that being used/wasted? :unsure: Such a curious thang.... . ....

And Miss Mary! I vaguely remember you telling us about this amazing lady.. . . .....is she your aunt? What an inspirational character!

I wonder if my MIL will live this long.. .. . .....:unsure: :unsure:

:blink:

Finally! A kitchen tip that is truly going to be a godsend for me. I now believe that Mary Anne should be moved onto the shortlist for Sainthood:

survived the midterm from hell. Don't know if I passed. Even the hotshots were on the message board saying one particular problem was really really hard and took like half the time. Prof posted last night that it wasn't that hard and he expected most people would get a lot of points :blink: . whatever

may be going out tonight with the girls. Waiting for a quorum.

Oh Careen is making a yummy dinner- can I come over?

Obviously, you did this all wrong. When my eyes are glued shut for 3 days, I will have a rope to follow to get me to the bathroom.

Gianknit :lol: :lol: But would you trust Skeeter and Smackl to not move that rope on you to say...the back porch.

"Hey honey, why is our neighbor peeing on her back porch with her eyes closed?

"Which neighbor? Oh that one- yeah, she's the crazy one. Last week I saw her DRIVING wit her eyes closed. Ah- just let her pee in peace Margaret!"

Em- you are a brave and swarthykooky soul- I would not last 10 minutes with my eyes closed! Love the solicitor story :lol:

Why is it that men can fart and it's no big deal (to them), but it is considered unacceptable for women under 10 years old?

No way- let her RIPPPPPPPPPP!

Shroomie- Sorry about yer oven. Miss mary sounds like a handful- my aunt was still driving herself (very fast and badly) at 92. I tried following behind her in my car once and almost couldn't keep up. Hope I have that kick butt independent spirit when I'm older.

survived the midterm from hell.

may be going out tonight with the girls. Waiting for a quorum.

Congratulations Geoss!!!!!!! Now go get good and drunk on Grand marnier (with extra vodka!)

You're all invited. Pretty safe invite since most of you live a bit far to get here by supper. And because you are all a safe distance - I just got the best apple cinnamon donut holes from a local gluten-free bakery in town. Better than any donuts with wheat bits I've had. Makes you suspicious of whats really in them? I'm afraid it is something addictive.

Finally found the Burly Robed Messenger's Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal. Just made some for lunch as I still have a headache (may be gluten withdrawl). Loved it! Its a cross between Cream of Wh#@t & Oatmeal, 2 of my old favorites. On to the chocolate as it replaces the endorphins my brain is supposedly missing.

Hi Lisa!!! (we will need to come up wif a silly spelling of yer name....it's required ;) )

She will always be Lisa Goosey. 'Sides.....she can't have any of my psilly spellings :P

HI!!!

Hi back!

But my girl is okay, THANK GOD!! Just some surface injuries......

Good to hear. :)

Think of it as a lesson in survival of the fittest. Weezer has met every challenge and survived.....she's one tough cookie!

It's a miracle our chilins make it to adulthood, what with all the 'challenges' we put them through :ph34r:

JoDog hates vacuums . . . She won't even eat if I've been vacuuming and have left the vacuum cleaner too close to her food bowl (and by too close, I mean within 10 feet). Sometimes she can't get to her bowl because she would have to step over the cord to the vacuum (or even just walk next to it). Sometimes we use the vacuum to block her into the "office" when we have someone over that doesn't like dogs . . . works as good as a baby gate.

Hmmmm.......I think you're on to something. Zeus is the same way. He also is askeert of helium filled milar balloons. Why have I been bothering with baby gates all these years? :rolleyes:

Milar ballons tied to the vacuum cleaner! I think I'm onto somphin! :D

Headed over wif Skeeter to see your GI . . . perhaps he could come up with another miracle . . . t'would only help his case for sainthood.

Did I ever tell y'all about one of Nathan's friends who has an uncle who was trying to become a saint? She visited Nate in the hospital and brought a charm thingy from his robe.....forget what it was called. It was attached to something that belonged to Nathan......his shoe, actually. This was to bring a miracle for Nathan. The uncle only needed 1 more miracle to become a saint.

So I guess he's a saint now!!! :D:D:D

AND.. . .. ....his first name is Joseph. So, he was my GI Joe. :rolleyes:

:lol:

Why is it that men can fart and it's no big deal (to them), but it is considered unacceptable for women under 10 years old? My stomach is making the most hideous noises right now and anyone within 15 feet of me can hear it and must know what needs to be done, yet I sit here with an upset stomach and perma-flexed cheeks to prevent the "unthinkable" <_<:lol: :lol:

Tis not fair!

Funny to be around Deaf people who think you can't hear them fart :lol:

Yay!!!!!!!! can't wait for a report! :P

Did I ever tell you that when the kids are flying kites or when a hot-air balloon flies over our neihborhood (take-off site not too far from our house) that we have to keep JoDog inside? She barks and barks and jumps in the air trying to catch one.

Skeeter update . . . testing that was done by the arse GI came back clean . . . had to find out through my pediatrician though. Pediatrician contacted the arse allergist that we saw over two years ago about what he check her for. I don't know if you remember this, but he could tell by looking at her that he only needed to check her for environmental allergens. He also told me to challenge the celiac disease diagnosis because . . . wait for it . . . "the diet is too hard" . . . ummm, yeah, that's the reason you should challenge the diagnosis. Anyway, pediatrician is ramping up to order some diagnostics so we can light a fire under the appropriate specialists. I like her . . . she's very much of an "I'm in it with you" kind of person.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

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.

      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
