Goodness! I slept zero hours last night. It's cool and all to see our hotel is a very tall round tower, but you add some wind and rain whipping around that building and yous gets a LOT of noise. I'm now on the boat, about to have to turn my lifeline off and we pick the ONLY seats behind a family of 2 SCREAMING children and their obnoxious baby talking parents and grandparents.

Hmmm, wonder what happened there.... I think my phone was trying to hold onto me for dear life and maybe posted twice...? I discovered Jesse's blackberry works just great- thank God! I'm just cheating my way thru the NY times crossword ;). Haven't seen the screaming kids for a while. Maybe dad took them up and threw em overboard....

Just got back from a PT appt. Does anyone else spend all their doctor's appointments laughing hysterically?

Used to . . . at the OBGYN of all places . . . but she left to become a lawyer. Now most doc appts end with me swearing.

It is quiet here. I'm just about done for the day at work, and then when I get home we resume the battle of wits with Riley. We think we're going to have to tether her, which we have not done since 2005. But she seems determined to get around, over, or under the gate. :(

I have six harnesses of various sizes and shapes in the car. We'll see.

J had a phone last school year that would call me during social studies class. I could listen in to the class. It never calls me so I can listen in on a party or a date. :angry:

You must do what you need to for her protection. Good that she hasn't gotten the other kitties to follow her.

Gads, I wish my butt would hang up on me.. . ......or not hang at ALL -- that and me boobs.. . . . ..<_<

Rah-shyellle's ferry adventures! :lol:

Quite the developments o'er here...... . . .with all that's been happening with me mom and life generally, I haven't mentioned here the adventure we've been having with our visiting mouse. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed mouse poop in the small cupboard where we keep the dog food and treats. My husband jumped at this challenge, and rigged up two old-fashioned mouse traps with Cheese Whiz, and we spent the first two nights waiting to hear the "SNAP!" of a direct hit. Nothing. Our little friend (and I just KNEW it was one mouse, somehow -- I even named him... . ....Gerald) was quite an admirable opponent.. . . .....each morning we were discovering the blob of cheese having been nibbled just around the edges, like he knew to avoid the middle part that would trigger the trap. I remain veritably impressed.

Then DH tried peanut butter, figuring that it was stickier and Gerald would have trouble pulling away if the metal trap was set off. During the next few nights, we heard the trap "SNAP" twice, and those nights I lay there thinking, "dear gawd........ . . ..I hope it got him right across the neck so that he has died instantly -- no flipping around for hours with the trap snapped across his nose"......

And both mornings, I found both traps snapped, most of the peanut butter gone, and NO MOUSE. This is one kick-ass, you-don't-know-who-you're-dealing-with little bloke. DH is getting more and more p!ssed off.

Over the last couple of days I have been imagining what has been happening to Gerald.... . . .... . indeed, if it is only him reaping these culinary delights, he's likely getting a bit chunky.

Last night, DH, exasperated and vowing that he will not let any silly little rodent get the best of him, slathered BOTH Cheese Whiz and PB on both traps, carefully set them, and placed them carefully on the cupboard floor, trembling with anticipation and the thrill of potential victory.

Well.... . . . we heard the "SNAP" just after midnight. "Ahhhhh..... . . I GOT him...... . I just KNOW it!!!".......DH whispered as we lay there.

This morning I opened the cupboard door, and honest to gawd, I saw THE most horrifically obese mouse one could ever imagine... . . . he looked like a big, furry tennis ball with a long tail. Good thing the trap got him across the back of the head, as his body had gotten so huge it would not have fit in the trap.

:blink:

:lol:

RIP, Gerald. Due to your enormity, I now know that it was you alone, the solitary renegade, carefully and cleverly avoiding the lethal trap for so long, and reaping all those spoils.. . . . . . ....

I guess there's a lesson there, somewhere. ........ . . . .... . . .poor, fat Gerald. . ....!

Poor Gerald - he died fat and happy! At least you know there are not more.

At M's summer nature day camp he attended for 6 years as a camper & 1 as a helper: They set big cage traps at night with lots of PB and pretzels or apples. They catch usually a racoon sometimes a possum. The kids all look at it & then M takes it into the woods & lets it go. They started getting the same raccoon (had a nick in his tail) every night no matter where they put the trap. He didn't hiss, just sat quietly until released. He seemed to enjoy the cuisine.

Sounds like he looked at it as a slight inconvenience for a midnight snack....

Methinks you actually caught Geraldine . . . a pregnant Geraldine . . . lucky you did before you had lots of little Geralds and Geraldines running about.

We had a mouse once when the kids were quite small and I was reluctant to put out a snap trap in fear of snapping toddler fingers or toes. I set out a humane trap (keeps them alive) before bed, announced to the kitchen as a whole "You have 24 hours to give yourself up or I WILL BUY a snap trap". He surrendered by the time I got up in the morning. Smackl (probably 2 1/2 at the time) and hubby escorted him out into the woods and released him.

There's a Weight Watchers recipe that uses black beans instead of (most of) the oil, er sumptin' like that. I'm sorry, but that just does NOT sound appealling. Black beans do NOT belong in desserts.

      @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.

      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.

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
