My son is having a World Cup party at his house.......

I'm having my house painted. They were suppose to start tomorrow . . . in fact they WILL start tomorrow but only with a partial crew. The rest wanted off because of the World Cup. Come noon, I lose even the few guys that showed up in the morning. B) It's all good . . . I got a pretty good deal so I'm flexible.

Last man standing! Wobbling is acceptable. :P

But they weeble and they wobble and they don't fall down! :)

Wait... . . ... . Korwyn has divulged that he does not follow football either... . .. . . . ..

Um... . . World Series of soccer?

.. .... . ...Triple Crown?

.. .. . . ... .Smackdown?

:rolleyes:

Isn't triple crown a whiskey? :) I like UFC/MMA, and baseball. Rugby is more interesting to me than football. But...since we don't have Cable or Satellite TV I don't watch much of any of them. :D

She drives the car to the airport. Takes all the keys with her. Or she could make a grand tour. Stop in Boston, Indiana, then KC, then Texas, then California, Portland, etc. I know I left a few out. She could pick us up as she goes. It could be the Psilly Grand Tour. B)

Yes, I am the closest to Em. Find your way to the 416, follow it to the 401 and head west. Fastest way is to take the 404 north and then come east on 16th Avenue. Shorter, but slower, you can get off the 401 at Kennedy Rd and come north. Then, from here, the shortest distance to almost anywhere in the States is west. Lake Ontario kind of gets in the way. ;)

We have an overnight guest this evening. Depending on how he gets along with the other residents, he may be invited to stay longer. He is ten weeks old and pure black with short hair. If he stays, his name will be Bagheera. :)

Please keep that here and don't say anything on FB. :ph34r:

I had a Maine Coone mix. 'Puffball'. He was a very long hair cat, and when he was a kitten he would curl up in the palm of my hand and tuck his nose under his tail, close his eyes, and he would look like a giant dandelion puff because his fur would stick out every which way. He grew up to be a 24# monster cat. :) He passed away about 7 years ago. He was also one of the most talkative cats I've every had, and he hated it when I would sing. He would get up on my chest, stare me in the eye and chirp at me. If I didn't stop after two or three chirps (he'd give me about 20 seconds or so) he would - very gently at first - bite me under the chin. He would continue to chirp and bite harder until I would stop singing. :D If I played my harmonica he would flip out and attack my feet, or one of the other cats. One time he ran out of the apartment and jumped off the balcony into a bush. Which scared me since I lived on the second floor! He was fine though.

His brother brought a live bat into the house (before the apartment) in the middle of the night, turned it lose, and turned the house into a madhouse with me chasing a crazed bat and three crazed cats around my house in my underwear at one in the morning with a broom handle! It wasn't until afterwards that I realized my kitchen window curtain was open and my kitchen window was only about 10 feet away from my neighbor's kitchen window. I spent the rest of the night waiting for the cops to show up, and the next week wondering if they were going to make some comment to me about it. Apparently either they weren't up - or they just decided they really, really, didn't want to get involved! :D :D

Korwyn's bat! :blink::lol:

We have good friends in Australia, and some years ago they sent us a pic of them standing somewhere (Ayers Rock? The Outback? Canna remember). . . . .....and they were each standing with one arm outstretched. Perched on their arms were two HUGE, black bats, hanging upside down, big black eyes, enormous snouts and wings tucked in. They were the size of Maine coons, I believe. These bats are around this area, quite gentle and tame... . . ...dear gawd.:unsure:

Shroomie, whot can you tell us about these incredible, somewhat repulsive creatures?

Good thing you do not live in this part of Australia, Korwyn. Methinks the neighboUrs would not have been hesitating to call the authorities..... . .....:rolleyes:

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @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...

      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 +

      @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.
