I know that you were ALL likely suspecting this, and were politely remaining quiet, waiting for the Official Announcement.

Out of respect to the throne, and all..... :P

Well.. .. . wouldn't ya know it. .. . . .... . it's the longest day of the year today, and MIL descends on our household.. .. .. .. .

OMG, drinking games.. . . . . . .... . . ..

What a trip, as in trippy, to go from da shortest day to the longest :ph34r: No mean pheat, dat. But my oh my, doth that ole sol rise early ....

As for drinking games, I will take 'em any day over strip poker, eshpeshially when one is l - o - s - i - n - g :rolleyes: at poker :o

then on to the hospital for Terry's cardiology appt.

I think I told you guys he was having tests on his heart - well today was the results of his cardiac MRI.

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

What the french toast?!?!?!

I have actually took him to the ER many times over the years with chest pain - but it was dismissed as indigestion/arthritis of the ribs etc

The doc said it was quite unusual as he has NO furring of the arteries <_<

He thinks it's either the drugs for his arthritis have caused it, OR, a virus, OR caused by electrolyte/salt imbalances when he was very ill/thin pre dx of celiac disease.

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

Holey smoley, Knickas, what is going on with Tel?? That really stinks :angry: Hope the new med helps him pump harder - or bettah, as the case may be...

American and Canuck quarters are the same size.. . ...dunno about weight, howevah. .. ..... . ..

I may have more success if I were to roll a loonie or toonie down me nose.. ....lots of extra weight/drag there... .. . ..

loonie.webp

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

That Canuck quarter will never roll :rolleyes: , in fact could nae be expected to :unsure:

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

Has still not warmed up at da lake. Turned the heat on last night:unsure:

Yeah, Bev met Jan-knit and the "entourage".

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

I was in Kansas once :rolleyes: 101 at midnight. :huh: Peeps we was staying with had no air con in house or car :o We died :P

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. :(

With the very phluphy MissEm a water pistol worked wonders. Breeders hubby thought it was too cute for her to be on da table at dinnertime - we did NOT. However, she will still only eat when we are with her watching - goes running to kitchen every time one of us goes there, and has a nibble.

Rah-shyellle, you must have to time your meal consumption carefully when you're on shift. I wouldn't want to have just eaten a nice big lunch before I examined THAT bloke.. . . . . .....

Especially not if she had had balls for lunch :blink:

USA and England! Whooooo! On to the next round!

But the Kiwis are going home - with their heads high, and undefeated :):o

Made a thrilling entrance to Incline Village last night :blink: After unpacking the luggage and hauling all the stuph from the garage, ran out of wind, literallly :unsure: Ended up with atrial fib. and unable to catch my breath, no oxygen getting to my brain, a neighbor helped Clay walk me to da car, and spent several hours in ER with repeat EKG's, blood tests, IV meds until it all passed over. If I had been at home t'would not have been a crisis, but since I am not altitude adjusted yet my heart was not pumping very effectively at all. What is it about psoriatic arthritis and poorly pumping hearts??? Tel and I would make a good pair. They could not believe that it all just cleared up and I am phine today. Still, have an urgent call in to my PCP for a visit and cardiac referral, which was one of my goals here anyway. At least he will now know why I is coming to see him :ph34r:

My goodness, our new Kween hath mighty powers indeed! Best stay in favor in the Royal Court if you want some solid ground under your tootsies.

Seriously, Shrooom.. . . . how frightening, even if it was simply altitude issues. Stay well!

So, I've got a little boy who has taken to lying about EVERYTHING. He has been grounded, spanked-which doesn't work, I even took his birthday away, which he now has to "earn back" by not lying....What do I do???? My dd went thru this phase around the same time, but it was nuphin like this, and he's SOOOOOO bad at it. He must think I'm stupid if he thinks I would actually believe what's coming out of his mouth. It's gotten so bad that he even lied 1/2 asleep this morning when I woke him up... Me, "Are you wearing clean underwear after your shower last night?" Him, "Uh, yeah..." The kid was wearing NO underwear. GAHHHHHHHH!!!

Any advice?

Actually, Rey-schell, the boys (M, J & hub) are wondering if you have any new dessert recipes we could try out for you. J prefers chocolate but the rest of us like more flavors. I have 2 cookie recipes they and their friends love. They did like the choc cake very much.

I'll see what I can come up with. Do you like orange? Just came up wif a KILLER orange cake wif orange buttercream frosting. Twould seem like too much orange perhapse, yet it tastes like a creamsicle!

I know that you were ALL likely suspecting this, and were politely remaining quiet, waiting for the Official Announcement.

Well, of course! It all makes perfect sense now :P

Ended up with atrial fib.

Did they convert you out of the afib, did you convert by yourself or are you still in it??? Has this happened before? Have you had an echocardiogram to check the size of your heart, specifically the atria? If you're still in it, do they have you on a blood thinner?

Take care of yerself!!!

It's strange why folks feel the need to lie about things that don't even matter :unsure: Yep, needs to be nicked in de bud.

I converted by myself, I believe, :rolleyes: because the IV metoprolol had no effect on EKG after 10 mins. Yep, has happened before - I usually convert after max of 3-4 hours. Never knew it was afib before, just thought ectopic beats and tachycardia. Echocardiogram was on my agenda along with cardiac consult before this happened. My "dimer" wa normal so no blood thinner. I wonder about the lectin problem I have, since lectin is a hemaglutin although to my knowledge had consumed no suspect lectins :o .

Rey-schell, he seems like a smart kid (maybe too smart). My kids tried to pull something & still occasionally try, I'ld ask them something to show them I was on to them. Like "show me the underwear". Then we would laugh and get the clean undies. Other one gets caught and feels bad but I don't think that's yours. If it gets too bad, hub is good with the making them feel guilty. He asks all kinds of stuff like "how will this help". " What is the next step". Very frustrating. I think I would sit him down when you are not mad and have a frank discussion with examples of the lying. He may not even know that he is lying, thus some examples. Tell him he has been lying about stupid stuff that doesn't matter. If he forgot the under wear, don't lie, just say fix it. Mom don't get upset, just make him fix the problem. He's 5, he can't remember everything nor understand (or care) why he should have clean undies.

That's my mom lecture for you...yes, we love orange!

Hi all....huge thunderstorm last night and yea!! I don't have to water the lawn :P Just made it steamier, though, if that's at all possible. <_<

Heard from me son that they're having a heat wave in Jersey--they had better get that out of their system now :lol:;)

Rash-elle....could Max be lying so as to avoid perceived consequences? I always told my kids that they could tell me anything, and as long as they were honest we would work it out--and I kept my promise. It started very early on and to this day we still have that kind of back and forth.

I dunno--he could also be trying to test you to see how much you will believe.

Shroomie--you you feelin' today? :) Interesting theory about lectins being implicated somehow--I swear that white rice or things made primarily of white rice cause my heart to go nuts. I've strictly avoided it since that last time and so far, so good. <phingerscrossed>

I also find that mixed with stress, the effect worsens.

Yes, This is exactly why. I've tried to explain, calmly, that if he tells the truth, he won't be in trouble, but if he lies, there will be LOTS of trouble. It will be a long weekend, I'm sure!

Ooooh, that's devious! And good!

I had talked to his teachers this morning when I dropped him off about it and about 9am I got a call from them. I was thinking-Oh crap, now what did he do? But they were actually calling me to tell me that they thought he had pink eye--came on suddenly cuz he was fine this morning.... :rolleyes: I went over to take a look at him, told them his allergies were out of control, he's constantly rubbing his eyes and like the great mom I am, I forgot to give him his Claritin last night. They said, take him out of the school and he can't come back until the dr clears him for pink eye. Guess what the dr said...Allergic congunctivitis :rolleyes: My poor secretary was babysitting him while I was in and out seeing patients for about 2 hours. They did this once to me with dd. Said she had chicken pox, must take her away immediately. They were clearly little tiny hives, but they made me take her out anyway. Oh well, it's good that they're thorough, just a pain when it's my kid :P

I'm on call tonight thru Sunday morning. Hope this isn't an indication of my weekend.... :huh:

This week has been very slow at work. It seems like everybody has left town. The store is about 6.5 miles due north of the battle zone G20 Summit site, and the downtown area is in virtual lockdown.

The G8 leaders are meeting now about 135 miles north of here. I guess that means we only have a G12 here. :blink:

I just have to share this with the psillies. We have been at our current store location since September 2006. For that entire time, there has been a derelict car in the parking area across the street. The plates on it expired in 2004.

Overnight last night, somebody decided to express an opinion about it.

Am replacing the whole heating & A/C in 2 weeks! Hope that counts. Don't think I can afford anything else. The kids shower periodically leaks but Hub just fixed it last weekend. Maybe I should just take some wine & hide in bed! Wait! I might spill it all over the bed!

      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.

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.

      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
