Double post :ph34r:

Hey!! :unsure: :unsure: .. . . . This happened to ME yesterday.. ....... ... .

What's goin' ON.......??

Here too. Yuck! And A/c limping along!

We are actually part of the miniscule group of people in this part of the country who have NEVER had air conditioning. :huh: Not even a window unit. :huh: Every year at about this time, I say, loudly, "Okay, this is IT. Come fall, we are having central A/C installed, when it is cheaper to do so". And then fall comes and goes, and we don't have it put in as we have Christmas bills coming, new school things to buy, and it's nice and cool then.... . . . .:rolleyes:

You'd suspect that an un-air conditioned place might dissuade overnight visitors through the summer.. .. . ....like a MIL.. . . . .. . ...

But NO. <_<

ummm.... we're hoping to hit 70...... :unsure:

25 C here. About 75, and rare low humidity. Not thinking about the lack of A/C today. . ... . ..!

Sounds lovely. (except the MIL part).

What happened to the "location" that used to be under our Avs? I don't remember where I live anymore. :P Actually, someone wanted some brand names or grocery names, but couldn't tell if they lived close to me or not. Clicked on Em and it says there where she lives but it has disappeared from the Av. Mysterious.

This is what he looks like! Odd looking kitty.

A little scary.... :unsure:

Only someone clinically delusional would do dat!

DUDE! I'm right HERE!!! :huh::lol:

The doc said it showed that Terry HAS HAD several heart attacks :o:unsure::o

Whatever the cause he has to start an drug to help his heart pump better <_<

Do you know what his function is? Ejection Fraction?

Just a quick poop-in on a borrowed computer. I'm in Mass now. Loved, Loved, Loved Maine!!!

I do hope you mean Massachusetts, cuz I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be on your computer during Mass.... :P

loonie.webp

Methinks this is actual size. . . ....... . .at least it sure feels that way in my purse.... . . .. :rolleyes:

Did you get one out and hold it up to the computer? I would have :rolleyes:

What... . . .waistlines? :P :P :lol:

DUDE!! Pseriously, I said I'M RIGHT HERE!!! :blink::lol::lol:

I'd like to talk about eyebrows fer a minute. Now I know Em's dear mum has had her issues wif them, and Em being the dutiphul daughter that she is remedied the situation wif an appropriately coloUred Sharpie. I keep reading that we need a strong brow to "frame the face".

Been thinking about trying the brown for my wispy little sideburns. I think it's the acne soap I'm using-I think it's stripping the color and they're almost all grey. Looks sooooo bizarre!! I'll letcha know...

ummm.... we're hoping to hit 70...... :unsure:

Yeah, ladies, quit yer beeching! Jess and I are at the end of winter over here!!

We are actually part of the miniscule group of people in this part of the country who have NEVER had air conditioning.

We didn't have one either until after Max was born. We have a 3 story house and all the bedrooms are upstairs. Poor baby and I had to sleep in the basement for over a month cuz it was too hot for the little guy upstairs

Well, this is encouraging: just announced on the local news that the Salvation Army "cooling shelters" will be open tomorrow. They open when the heat index is 105 by 11 am.

Had the sales guy out to tell me what it would cost to replace the A/C and heating. WOW! :o

Had a great meal with Tink brown rice pasta, tomato sauce, and the infamous balls. ;)

Bagheera walked on the table during dinner. He keeps wanting to eat from our plates. We are trying to teach him that this is a no-no. :(

Rachelle--what a way to start the day. That guy has 300 on me, but I can grasp what he was getting at when he said it felt swollen when he sat. Good thing nothing else in the neighborhood was "swollen." :ph34r:

Speaking of Bagheera, J put a pic of him on FB and now things are getting interesting with her sister. MIL and FIL moved to a room in an assisted living facility at the beginning of the month. They could only take one of their three cats with them. One was taken in by J's brother, but there was one left over. He is 15, diabetic, and has "litter issues" (incontinence). Daughter #2 has all sorts of reasons why SHE could not take him in, but expected US to do so. ALL of her reasons apply equally to our situation. Daughters 1 & 2 are at odds over parental care and do not seem to be speaking at the moment (J is #3). (I'd use initials, but all four siblings have names that start with J.) So, the fact that we refused to take the elderly cat, but now have a kitten in the house... :huh::blink::o

This is like what has been going on here. FIL and wife decided to move to Europe. Had 2 elderly cats. Tried to trick us into taking them in various ways. We decided I was just getting diagnosed and feeling awful. I did not need to deal with cats dropping dead on me. He got a temporary cat sitter. He called a few weeks later to "see how I was doing". Very suspicious since he didn't call his son once during his cancer treatments. Hub said I was doing good. A few days later he called and said that since I was doing well we could take the old cats now. We didn't take them. Are thinking of getting a cat, maybe. :)

Hey Raech - STILL don't know what Terry's 'ejection fraction' is (*smirk*...after all these years eh? :rolleyes:) ....does that tell you how well his heart is pumping??) - I must ask his doc.

Without furring of the arteries do you see many peeps that have had heart attacks?? :unsure:

      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.

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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. 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.
