Does anyone else dream about dead family members? I had a dream last night that my father and I were in Africa and that security had been told we had a bomb so we had to throw out everything in our luggage?.... :ph34r: :ph34r:

Not a family member, but I dream about a dead person now and again and it's always nice to see him. :)

Actually, last night I slept better than I have in a while--my neck/shoulder didn't wake me up....anyway, I was dreaming a normal, pleasant dream--woke up for a couple minutes, and when I fell back asleep the dream resumed :rolleyes:

YEAH!!! IT'S MONDAY!!!!! Hubby's back at work and dd's back in school!!!! I HAVE MY HOUSE BACK!!!!! I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown yesterday with everybody barking orders at me from every room in the house. Don't mean to be insensitive, but when dh is sick or down, he's like 3 kids :rolleyes:

Me likey phoul mouth Ptaum! You's speaking my language :lol:

Maybe she'll have even better, more inappropriate, things to say. :)

That's what I was gonna say :P Actually, I was going to say it yesterday buuutttt, computer was acting up!

I'm fairly certain you wouldn't let your kids run wild through the aisles and crowd around the sample stands yelling

"MOM!! CAN WE HAVE SOME??????"

to you while you are still on the other side of the store

But what about the parents who park their carts in the middle of the freakin aisle to wait for the samples what aren't even ready yet. You can't get around them and they won't move till they've got their sample!!! I refuse to go to Costco on Sunday's. It's like the peep's have done their duty by going to church and then the go to Costco and turn EVIL!!! I actually had some lady run her cart right into my 8mo giant pregnant belly trying to get to a sample and she said NOTHING to me as I'm doubled over and she zooms past me :blink:

Quite true. Mine would text me. :P

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I just spoke with her minutes ago, and she is being released this morning. I have to go do some stuphph at the store, and then will be picking her up. She should be home by noon. Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Yeah Peetah and Jacquie!!!!!

I have dreamt about them at the time they died or when they thought they were dieing. Creepy right? When oldest was 2-4 years old he used to see a "Grampa" in his room. It made him feel happy.

I love when everyone goes back to school & work. M(14) tried to tell me how many weeks of school left but I got severe stomach pains & couldn't hear. ;)

I have been at stores & actually caught children as they are falling out of carts. Parents aren't paying any attention. I see 2-3 year olds wandering off for 5 minutes & no parent or big brother folllowing. I keep an eye on them & then when either the kid or the mom notices I can point them in the right direction. I think my boys were about 12 & 9 before I would let them stay at the video section at Costco or Target & only together. I would sneak back & spy on them to make sure they were behaving OK. Must have worked. So far they are good kids - no arrests, babies, bad grades.

Recently at Borders, Mark literally saved a little boy from falling down the escilator. We saw what was likely about to happen and went running over--the mom was in an aisle looking at books and hardly blinked an eye when I told her he was about to take a tumble. <_< Scared the living daylights outta me!

So I microwave my fish stew and I'm sitting in the lunch room to eat it. A woman from the other lab walks by, stops, sniffs, looks concerned and says, sceptically, fish??

Yes, I say, and start to babble about how I didn't think about the smell of microwaving fish....

She waves her hand and says -no, it's fine. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a chemical spill or something.

Know this has been discussed - but I finally tried Udi's white bread.

I am quite certain it was the best ham and cheese sandwich I've had in close to 6 years----by far. (and how has it been that long?!)

Wow. All the buzz on that bread is correct.

can not WAIT to try this bread! am askeert to have it in my house, however.......I can envision toast w/ butter and honey going on at all hours of day and night :ph34r:

Quite true. Mine would text me.

:lol: *snackle*

Nope, just a thud and the bottom fell out :blink:

:unsure: whot? you okay Shroom? :lol:

Mmmm Udi's

A few months ago I was dying to finally retry something w/ yeti yeast - zero since candida "dx" in '05 & last yr bloodtest for candida antibodies was neg (well, highest of 3 meas was an 8 where 10 is "positive") - so poking around WhF saw they'd gotten the much-balleyhooed Udi's.

I was PSYCHED!!!

Before finding the Udi's, I thought I was gonna try something from WhF g f bakery but EVERY DAMN THING THEY MAKE HAS SOY FLOUR!!!!!

<ugh it takes me so long to compose #$%^& sentences these days>

:( Ptaum........still feeling perfumed/soyed, etc? This makes me sad.......SO want you to be better! Been too long.......should you just be living in a bubble by now? :(

Over a year ago, maybe 2, my microwave developed a mind of it's own......not counting down or heating up, but still running......not stopping when I want it to.........running when I DON'T want it to.......

Then it thought better of it and decided to behave.

Well now it's doin' it's own thang again! :angry:

:huh: Um..........Leesargh.......methinks yer microwave is in cahoots wif Geoss's toaster..........PUT HER DOWN! Get a NEW ONE! (microwave) I'm sure it's emitting evil.........diodes and stuff :wacko:

I just spoke with her minutes ago, and she is being released this morning. I have to go do some stuphph at the store, and then will be picking her up. She should be home by noon. Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Yay!! back home, good news Poeter! She'll be much more comfy there, wiv you and all kittehs :wub:

Bun Bun.........my dad died 22 years ago and just in the last couple of years, I am dreaming of him ALL the time. Last night, in fact, and earlier in the week........VERY bizarre scenarios.........not Africa, but - the bottom of the ocean, and houses that were being razed........all kinds of weird stuff

Hugs on three-year anniversary - wow, he must have been young :( Mine was only 56.......

After my mom died, I dreamt that her parents (deceased) came to me and told me Mom had been adopted.

I had my brother looking through all our records after that.....really freaked me out! :unsure:

I have a system now.

Set the time.

Shut the door.

When it starts running and I hadn't pushed START, yet (because it's not cooking OR counting down), hit the top right corner sharply. It will stop.

THEN push START.

Works every time ;)

hey....don't knock it! It's what Brian was instructed to use on his stump every day. :P

Also used as needed on little Lexi's bottom :)

      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!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      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   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it. 
    • xxnonamexx
      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
    • trents
      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
