...watching the semi- final of the world cup.

I think I shall miss the 'vuvuzela' when they're gone :huh:

Spain or Netherlands? Will not miss those swarms of bees. They give me a headache. Do enjoy the jersey swapping. :)

Where in Minnesota? I have lots of family there. Grandma was French Canadian

My mother was born in Appleton, MN in 1925. Her father grew up on the family farm near Mora, MN. The family moved to Washington, DC, in 1927, and then to Berkeley, CA, in 1930.

HEYYY! So did I! smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gif

What a phab time.. . .. . ..the Chicago river/Lake Michigan cruise with Leeeeesargh and her fantastic friend Chris (an honoUrary Psilly if there ever was one) followed by a terrific dinner @ Maggiano's. Our time went by just too quickly... . ..canna believe we were together the entire afternoon - - seemed like an hour. I really felt.... . ..I dunno, honoUred, methinks, that Lisa came all that way, still battered, trussed up and in some pain, to spend that time with us. Knowing Lisa a bit more now, I realize that this is just something that she would do. wub.gif

Walking to the restaurant, we passed by a real estate office that had pictures on the window of available condos and townhomes in the downtown Chicago area. We immediately picked out THEEE perfect Psilly haven, a lovely big brownstone that we could all throw our money into and where we could meet together several times a year for Psummits. $2,100,000.00. So let's start planning.... . .....

Glad you had fun! Maybe you could check on a condo in Oprah's building.I'm sure they would be just as economical as that brownstone.

Lets' see: Could probably get the brownstone for $2 mil. Figuring 25 psillies that would be about $80,000 each. Hmmmm...

Jess - check my math?

Actually.....I can't believe I did it! Never done anything like that before :P It was like visiting an old friend......well, she IS an old friend, but....you know what I mean. Em and Will were so easy to talk to....such a delight, the two o' them ^_^ We had so much fun.....it definitely ended too soon! And.......I got through the whole day without taking my 'knock me out and feel no pain' pills :D

Chris is THE BEST personal assistant a girl could have.She first became of service to me in Texa$$, then became DD's wedding planner, and now yesterday.....

hmmmm........I could probably hire her out.......

She is an excellent driver, note-taker...

.....handy for carrying things

.....anticipates my needs

.....has a flair for decorating

.....extremely organized

.....multi-tasker

Not phunny. Tired and run down. Maybe I'm not eating enough, I don't know. Maybe it's cuz I work phull time, have 2 kids on summer break who fight non-stop and I have 9 cakes to do in the next month.... I am thankful for everything, for sure, I just need to learn a bit more balance :rolleyes:

The tiny town I grew up in has it's annual festival this weekend. Tis called "Cheese Days" (No joke, the rival town across the freeway has "Egg Days"--I think we should all come together for a great "omlette days" weekend!! :P ). I have to work tomorrow, but I'm going to head up tomorrow night with my sister and brother. The one tavern in town shuts down the whole block and there's karaoke, lots of booze (which I will NOT be partaking due to last weekend!) and fabulous people watching. Tis the epitomy of hick-ville! Soooo much fun!! :D

OMG!!!!!!! Disaster at me weigh-in (Weight watchers)

I really went for it this week with exercise....in fact I ran a marathon and some when I added up what I did in a week.

Did I lose ANY weight???

Did I french toast!!!!!!!!!! :angry::angry::angry:

Harumphfffffffffff <_<

Next week you'll probably drop more. Jess is right, your muscles may be swollen. I try not to work out the day before I weigh in. Then I weigh in first thing in the morning, necked and after everything's left me body.... :lol: Must be as light as possible!! :P

GAHhhhh!!!... a friend took me to Costco (do you have these??)....I've spent waaaay too much

You got me thinking about a memorable phlat I had. As many of you know, in July of 1994 Jacquie and I drove to Alaska. Sixteen years ago, to the very day, we were here, on a Saturday morning:

img021.webp

The view is looking north from above the Arctic Circle into the Rock River valley. Our progress north was blocked by a phlooded out pherry at Phort McPherson, and so, late in the evening we were returning south. The Dempster Highway crosses the Rock River about 11 miles south of the NWT-Yukon border, and about 24 miles north of the Arctic Circle. There is a Yukon Government campground at Rock River, and we stopped so somebody could use the facilities. The roadway through the campground was fresh crushed gravel with sharp edges. You guessed it--the left rear tire goes phlat. It is quite late, although still light, but there are billions of skeeters. The campground is deserted, so I have to change the tire with their help. :angry:

Got the tire patched the next morning, but two weeks later, again on Saturday evening, that same tire was fatally punctured again. The location was the middle of the town of Jasper, Alberta, which was a much more pleasant place to deal with it.

I have not had another phlat since, and will probably jinx myselph by saying so. :huh:

      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...

      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...

      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.
