minimommy!!!!!! How the heck have you been? :D

You've been missed here in da ville!

Hellooooo Padts :D So nice to speak wif you again! I haven't been very active on the forum for quite a while (sorry). Lots goin' on. I'll be posting next week after I attend a celiac support group meeting here at my library, let peeps know about it.

I left FB when they changed their privacy. I left a message up b-4 I split but I don't think anyone saw it.

Life in Dey-trois is interesting. I've been doing a lot of volunteer work--helping out at the community food bank in my county and getting active to call attention to the economic disparity in Detroit city proper. Also, we had a tornado in my hood last week--big mess. Lots 'o clean up, no bad damage. All is well.

How are all the psills? Is Padts still in Texas? How are things across the pond w/ Nik? Anymore quakes (doesn't that make 3 psills who've had them now? :unsure: ) What's up in Fres-no with Suze? Is Judee still smokeless? (I confess, I tried but didn't succeed <_< .) How are Bev and Jess doing and all the rest of youse cwazy kidz? I know several of you started blogging--how is that going?

Hugs to all!!

Raye-chulll! Great to read you again -- been often wondering about you. Please come back to Psillyville! Um. . . .... .. . .our privacy policies here are.. . . . . ..um....:unsure: .. .well, non-existent, actually.... . . . ..

:lol:

I will inform my chidlins that my choice of music is nae so bad! - some kids in other countries have to listen to birds wink.gif

:lol: :lol: .. .. .And must try to dance to the trilling calls, yet.. . . . ..

Sitting listening to the birds in my yard. Some delightful chirps! Some god awful squawks! Some sound just like a neighbors telephone?

Kherrighnne, that may just actually be your neighboUr himself that you are hearing. . . . .... . .some awfully strange characters living in our midst, tryin' to mess with their neighboUrs, I hear.....

Nope, nary a word (about my place - power still out there). Plenty of pics and YouTube stuph though - lost a lot of our heritage buildings, and a lot of the brick (unreinforced) facades off CBD buildings, hence all the rubble. Looks like a war zone. No casualties.

Hey, if our patio is all broken up maybe we can repave with used brick???? :lol:

Well, the news is all good :D One very frightened kitteh who now sleeps in the bed instead of on it :rolleyes: , some broken ornaments, cracked interior plaster, and stuph flying out of cupboards (but only paperwork and stuph, not breakables, apparently) Modern earthquake proofing sure makes a difference and everything eminently fixable. All the tiles still on the roof even. Haven't got down to the nitty gritty yet, but whew, what a relief. Power back on but no water yet. Guess we will go back after all :P And I won't get some new dinnerware out of it :(

Well, I did notice the lateness(earliness) of the hour . . . you were up 4:45 my time. I shoulda got outta bed and chatted with you, Judee as I was awake at that time . . . just a tossin' anda turnin' . . . and tossin' . . . and turnin'

Headed out to go birding this morning!!! Trying to get Skeeter to join me on one of these treks but she keeps declining. She'd be really good at it. She's forced to listen along in the car when I'm playing my "Birding by Ear" c.d.'s (helps with the identification, you know). I would hazard that she's better at it than I am. Chidlins don't have all the tatt cluttering up their minds like mental grocery lists, appts, stuff I need to gossip about, and errands to run.

Isn't there a old song somthing like this.........""tossin' and turning' ''' oye my foggy brain.

Going to hit the bed early tonight for sure. that was a odd nite.....heck we should'of chatted course i would have made less sense than i usually do............

What birds did you and Skeeter find today?

Jim went on a World Series of Birding in Cape May NJ and was on a team that birds for 24 hrs straight and though the nite and alot of birds are obtained for the list by ear. Amazes me............

You must be a good birder.

Now DIS is HOT. That is sub-Saharan, er sumfin'. . . .. ...... .watch it out there, Joooodie!

My dad was a consummate mimic of human and animal voices.

I have often wondered if my dad's bizarre, yet somehow very credible whistle made it onto any birding soundtracks. Jyaghnutt, if there is a crazy, prehistoric call on that C/D that is stumping you birding identifiers, we may know from where it came... . ... ..particularly if there is follow-up commentary from a Mr. Lyndski...

Em had to cut your emotion cons b/c wouldn't allow me to post......sorry

yep hot in the desert......they lied to meph34r.gif

Jim would have been Mr. Lyndski. Wish i could have met your dad Em.........special man he was for sure

JOODEE!!!!!!!!

Get thee to bed woman!!

'Birding by ear' amuses me

I will inform my chidlins that my choice of music is nae so bad! - some kids in other countries have to listen to birds

Em!

Mr Lyndski!

you always make me laugh. thanks Nikki

Is Judee still smokeless? (I confess, I tried but didn't succeed .) Hugs to all!!

glad to see ya !!! post on the meeting...can't wait.

NO NO NO.........I'm not smokeless...........ph34r.gif sorry to say.........9 months and the house closing in PA made me NUTSblink.gif

Great news, Neroli!!! Glad to hear it!!! Is it too late to "stage" the dinnerware being tossed about in the earthquake? Any aftershocks? Perhaps the kitty/house sitter can balance all of your dinnerware on the edge of a table so that an aftershock can send it over the edge??

What birds did you and Skeeter find today?

Skeeter didn't come but she said she will next Saturday.

Well, it's fall migration time here so the Warblers are coming through. That's what the big hub-bub is about. We went out this morning as well. We've seen Redstarts, Nashvilles, Yellow-throated, Common Yellowthroat, Black-Throated greens, Magnolias, Black-and-Whites, Bay-Breasted, there was another, but I didn't see it, so it doesn't count ;)

Also saw pileated woodpeckers. It's always a good day when you see a pileated.

Lots more, but it's all about the warblers at the moment.

Thanks guys. Here's a summary story two days on if anyone is interested. Sadly, a lot of beautiful old historic buildings were lost, many of which I was intimately familiar with.

Open Original Shared Link

There have been dozens of aftershocks but none greater than 5.0, still ongoing, and the quake was on a fault whose existence was previously unknown, beneath alluvial plains, and was only 10 kms. deep. A lot of the areas that liquefied were built on fill, much like the Loma Prieta damage in San Francisco.

As revealed in Karen's link, cyanoacrylate adhesive will break down if exposed to acetone. It does not matter which brand of CA is involved--the chemistry is the same. If you don't have pure acetone, nail polish remover has acetone as the active ingredient.

Most plastics are unaffected by acetone, but if the lenses are coated, the coating could be affected.

Sorry I didn't see your post

I agree....think they are plastic but coated.

All i tried before writing was the spray to clean lens when I got the glasses and of course it didn't work

Glad to know all those adhesives have the same ingredients.

Show have known our Peter would try to help out too with his scientific brain a working away on a LABOR FREE' WEEKEND ..........tongue.gif

How is your new employee working out??? I hope it's a good fit. With a great personality......and a brain.........most people can learn the job.

      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.

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

      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.

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

      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
