Soooo not looking forward to that!! DD tried to convince me that she "just had to" call her friend to ask a "very important question" (about Justin Bieber ;) ) at 930 Saturday night. I said NO WAY! I'd be P.O.'d if someone called her after 8pm!

So, youse guys don't have yer kids on Da Book yet. I tell ya, it certainly frees up the phone. In fact, DD is NEVER on the phone (at least, speaking - - she texts everything).... . .. . she and her bro ask all of their "very important questions" to all of their 600 friends on fb.

What in hell did WE do as kids with just one, perhaps two, land-line phones in the house?? And no call waiting, no call display. . ... . ..... .. I NEVER knew when someone else was trying to get through, I never knew ahead of picking up the phone who it was calling, I had to stand in the hallway beside the phone for my entire conversations... . .... ..

Hell, how did I do it?

:rolleyes::lol:

Mine don't talk on thier phones... only text. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes to text and make plans when it would have taken 2 minutes if they talked. The only people who actually call J are girls and not as often as he would like. ;)

True dat!!! . . . the scariest thing that comes to mind is babysitting. Nowdays, we give the babysitter the cell phone number and off we go. I used to babysit for my Uncle. Have no way to get ahold of him. There were three kids (ages 1,4,5). I was 11 . . . and he would pay me a whoppin' 50 cents an hour. That was cheap even waaaaaaaay back then.

Gawd--I used to babysit for 50 cents an hour too! Frequently I sat for my church school teacher and her doctor husband. They were a young couple with 2 toddlers and a newborn. Their house was always a mess--I would feed the kids, clean the kitchen as best I could, put them to bed, and always end up falling asleep on their couch.

Every freakin time they said they wouldn't be too,late, and every freakin time I would be awakened so that the husband could drive me home at like 3AM. So embarrassing--I was like 13. The good thing is they always paid well--huge tippers :P I funded my 45 rpm collection with that loot. :lol:

Don't move to Kiwiland then. Kiwi may be our national bird, but sheeps are our national animal. Give up lamb and you'd starve :unsure: It's much worse than Greece even :lol: As a kid I was quite bloodthirsty watching my dad slit their little throats (Oh, Ghianit, don't cry!), but I always knew that it was not our pet lambs because he always kept those in a separate flock so we knew we were not eating Pouncer or Molly or..... :D

Haven't has much lamb. Goat, that to me is awful! Seems to always be stewed in some herbs that make it look green. Cows, chickens, turkey and pigs...yum. Got so darn many geese here, may be going for that. Have had some super good venison summer sausage when I worked in the Sierra foothills. Since going gluten-free, meat tastes better. Odd? Sure it's odd, we're talking about me!

I used to always do my yearly purge by having a garage sale. Done my share of Goodwill, too. Now I'm trying resale shops....haven't seen any money from that, yet. <_<

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins...

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune...

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?
