Wow, I forgot how fast this thread moves!! Hallucinations, 20 hour dates, good smells!

My house smells like Jambalaya, minus the shrimp because sadly I'm allergic to shellfish. Funny how even though I don't have to eat gluten free anymore, most of the dinners I make are.

Patti, bring over your apple cinnamon stuff, and we'll have dinner/dessert together!!!

I wanna come over for dinner, too! After we pig out, Carla can teach us Pilates to burn off the calories! :)

CarlaB Enthusiast

Oh, we'll have to do pilates FIRST! You would not be able to take my class after you've eaten!! We'll save lattes for the morning with more cinnamon apple stuff. :D I mean, you'll have to spend the night, you live to far away to go home!!

And you can't imagine the quantity of food I eat when I'm doing a lot of pilates ...... Morgan, too ......

You get long/lat coordinates to "caches" all over the world (over a million) and then you go find them using a gps. They are very small to good size containers that contain a log book. Some have "trinkets" for trading. When you find them, you write your team name in the log book and then record on the web site also. Some are in your local park . . . some are in buildings . . . some you have to be a rock climber to get to . . . some you have to scuba dive. They are all over the place.

Sounds interesting, but I don't have a gps. How did you find out about it?

Reading along.... got now't but some more grEy hairs and wrinkles from me evil devil child rolleyes.gif

Sounds like your day sucketh big time :(

Had 2 cysts removed from me head today yesterday, and now I'm awake in pain and can't sleep. Had 2 others removed last summer shortly after the accident. (It had already been scheduled and I was for dang sure not going to cancel, since it was SUPPOSED to have been done LAST year, when my life was turned upside down <_< )

Tomorrow I'll be going to a fancy shmancy restaurant with my brother for a banquet for an award he's getting from his job. He called the chef for me, and the chef called me, but I was dancing and missed the call. I meant to call him today, but with the surgery and shopping for a little black dress, I forgot :(

So when I woke up in pain, I suddenly remembered. Hope it's not too late to call in the morning. :unsure:

BTW......got a cute little lacy black dress for $11.50 at a consignment shop B) ..........now I need shoes ;)

oooh.....and in other good news........I got a big bag of Pamela's pancake mix for half price! Not even near expiration or nothin! :D

Does it really matter what you wear? Maybe a nice bathrobe?

Cranberry and vodka would be a multiple- purpose drink.

Sweat pants under the kimono & a coat over it until you get there? Drive slowly & carefully?

All this talk of apple cobblers, crumbles, pies got to me. Last night I made applesauce. All the yummy taste & none of the psilly crust calories which are so unnecessary.

Missed a lot the past few days!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate in the wrong month :P

Wanna rescue me a doggie, but still not quite sure I can dedicate the time and I won't do it till I can make the commitment.

Been Hell-child week so far <_< DD's copping MAY-jah attitude, tis a good thing she was sitting in the backseat of the car, cuz I coulda slapped her-and I've NEVER done that! Then the 2 of them have been at each other constantly, got in a huge brawl the second I walked away from the dinner table last night, spilled milk on the carpet, food flying everywhere, they both got sent to bed at 7 last night. DD was like, 'Whatever, like I care' DS was crying like his heart was broken because I snapped and yelled at the 2 of 'em. He asked me if I still wanted to be an angel...(which to him, means that you have to be nice ALL the time and never get upset and never yell) I told him that it's really hard to be an angel all the time when y'all are fighting all the time! We all ended on good terms-well, maybe not the 2 kids, and we all apologized--again, not the 2 kids... But I still went to bed feeling like a bad mommy for losing my temper :(

I just liked the way that you miss things because you're out having fun. :D

Aw Rach-shell, don't beat up on yerselph. We all have moments like that--the end of a long day and the last thing you have patience for is a kid squabble. It comes wif the territory ;)

I think you're a great angel-mommy :D

Thanks ladies :wub: I lurve those chitlens so very much, but they drive me INSANE! It totally doesn't help that I'm PMS'ing and I forgot to pickup my anxiety meds on Friday, so I've been wifout since then..... Maybe I shouldn't have been around the kids to begin with :rolleyes:

kareng Grand Master

What happened to our cute smiling babies, Russell? They have been eaten and replaced by larger, not so cute creatures. I hope they cleaned up the mess!

These 2 need a" crisis and have to depend on each other" experience. Something where they must work together & depend on each other. Mine have had a few and it helps with the squabbles. I think you are looking a bit sick on Sat or Sun and should stay in bed. The kids will have to get their own lunch. Maybe a load of laundry, too. :)

Just wear the kimono, and when the cop stops you simply tell him that you are heading over to ___________'s (Blue Eyes) place for the evening. Perhaps word has gotten out about him, in which case the officer will simply nod knowingly and and say "very practical outfit choice... . . .best get on your way".... .. .... :P:rolleyes:

Better: Arrange for a discounted flight for them to a foreign little island.. . . ....the South Pacific would be ideal. Imagine, they would have to quickly learn to co-operate and divide labour - - build shelter, kill food, fight off predators, write out a huge "HELP!" sign on the beach - - all of these things could go miles in forging mutual respect and love.

My kids would perish within three days, this is certain. <_<:lol:

My boys would love this! We could return in a month & they would have a lovely home built, made friends with the native animals, prepare delicious fish & fruit dinners. They would be most happy if they could rig up a computer & TV. Also, if some girls in bikinis were also stranded.

I had to make them leave the dining room toot sweet before I became completely out of control, so I cleaned up the mess this time--usually they clean it up.

Bah!! I'm on call this weekend, which makes me even crabbier! I try to remind myself that Christmas is coming and the extra money is always nice..... Who am I kidding, I'd rather NOT have the extra $$. We get ABUSED on call <_<

I actaully did see them work together yesterday morning-the huge garden spiders have taken over the outside of our house (does no good to knock em down, they're back within 15 min :rolleyes: ). I needed a dvd put into the mailbox and there's a huge spider that has made that particular area home. DS opened the door to the box near the spider so DD wouldn't have to get near it, and DD went around the other side to lift the flag :P

That's as good as it got yesterday :rolleyes:

Also, if some girls in bikinis were also stranded.

      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 +

      @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, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      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.

      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
