Here's someone with their priorities straight. There have been more than 300 aftershocks from the quake, many above 5.0, and continuing:

One resident, Moata Tamaira, said she had "just moved the booze to within reach of the doorframe. Priorities."

If you must sit in the doorframe, you should have your favorite drink.

Did you know that a doorframe is about the most dangerous place to situate yourself during an earthquake? Apparently, you wanna have your favorite drink beside you as you lie beside a couch or sturdy bed.. . ....

I think this brings up a good point for your disaster survival kit. No glass. Unfortunately, gluten-free beer, wine & tequila always come in glass. So besides the plastic jugs of water, you will need cans of hard cider, boxed wine and canned beer so no one drinks your cider & wine.

Tornado safety is almost the opposite of earthquake. Want to be in the middle of the building, bottom of stairs, under a table or beside the bed with the blankets on top.

On the weather tonight, they said tropical storm Hermine is coming. Instead of saying how much rain, the weather guy said " Build an ark".

Will be adding sippy cups to the disaster box ( large plastic box with tight fitting lid stored under basement stairs)

Anyone remember the movie " the Day After"? That was when a nuclear bomb flattened KC. Since then ( about 1980), people here have had emergency boxes. The irony is that a plant here in town made many parts, including the timing/ igniting device for those weapons.

Holy crap.. . . ..canna believe how long it's been since anybody's posted! :blink: If everyone's been busy surviving through a surprise earthquake, I DO hope each of you assumed the position, prone with sippy cups, beside your bed or huge stack of paper. . . .. ...

To resume the Psilly dialogue, I will make the following important Royal Announcement: Can anybody guess what I am doing today, over the next twenty-four hours?

How rude <_< Twas nae phinished and hit sumphin twice by mistake and it posted :huh:

I'm on me netbook since all of a sudden me notebook will not turn on. Must take it to the Geeks and see what's up wif it. Darn (sorry Jan-it) thing is way too tempermental :angry:

Anywho,...ventured out in the car this morning by myselph fer the first time up here. Managed to get to the A&P, and the health phood store and back again.

Got an apple pie into the oven--phinally--amidst several interruptions....am now (supposedly :P) balancing my checkbook and going through mail that's been piling up....can nae wait till things get back to normal :rolleyes:

Oh, and the post office has forwarded Matt's mail here as well as ours.... :unsure:

Beautiful day, though. Cool and breezy wif a definate twinge of phall :D

There is a subject I know well. The only way to fix this is for Matt to go to his post office and you to go to the one that delivers your mail. Then you both must insist in loud voices that they fix this (calmly explaining to them didn't work for me). Also, calling the national post office number to complain does absolutley nothing. Someone types it into a computer & gives you a number. Nothing happens after that. They do not notify your post office or anyone else. The worst part is that they have now sent notifications to some of Matt's bills that this is his new address.

This happened to me. A family member with a mental issue, decided we were getting her mail. She put in a change of address from my house to a place she was about to move out of. Since her maill never came to my address, the post office decided anything with Karen on it would be forwarded. Our first names were not even similiar. Some mail was still coiming to our house, mostly with Hub's name on it. The way I figured it out was the water company called and said they had a change of address for me and I hadn't paid my bill. They thought this was odd. Credit card companies didn't question it and kept sending stuff to the new address. OYE!

At least you and your son will cooperate with the mail.

Karreighn--I'm cautiously optimisic about the mail debacle. I called the post office in Matt's town and spoke with a very helpful lady. She filled out correction forms for me over the phone for us, and will tell the postal carrier that Matt is still living there.

It was my mistake because by forwarding mail for myself and Mark (2 people), it was taken as "family" (she told me this)--so all those with the same last name were forwarded.

It's a pretty small town--she even said she was noticing a lot more mail going to his address--with the yellow stickers.

And yeah--we'll just hold onto each other's mail until the weekends until this thing is straightened out. :)

Well the torrential rains that we were supposed to get today from the hurricane Hermine have been anticlimatic. Light sprinkles. However, because it is the end of a hurricane, every hour on TV they interrupt to give us the weather. :unsure:

Would have liked a bit of rain. Hub keeps trying to grow grass. Psilly man!

WTH? Someone really wanted 7 days worth of your pee? Does it cure warts? Increase male performance? Seriously, do we really pee that whole container in 1 day?

Hub & I seem to be physically degenerating. Body parts are taking turns to make certain that 2 or 3 a day are aching. We will have to consider a spa soon. I'm afraid I may not be able to get out!

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

      @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.

      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
