. . . but yesterday we spent an hour at one location and still didn't find it. Talked about it throughout the evening about theories on how/where it's hidden . . .

Do you actually PAY to do this activity, Jyaghnutt? .. . . . . . ....um, I'd love for you to roll this into a tourist activity.......come to Canada's National Capital, and fit in some geo-caching at my house.

Dear gawd... . . . this would be absolutely the LAST thing I could tolerate in me life, a life already filled at every turn with "where's my eraser?? It was riiiiigghhhhhht heeeeeere by my homework!!" "MOM! What happened to my UPS cord?? It was, like, on this desk! We need to spend an hour in this location til we FIND IT!!" "Em, you're good a this. . . ....can you search for my keys? They could be hidden in near the couch - - you can look for the little red tag attached to them.. . ... . ....perhaps an hour in that one location". . . . . ....

GAH. To actually go out and partake in this as a planned activity... . . . . .... :wacko:

That is terrific. Actually, it reminds me of how I decided to start opening the old-fashioned ice-cream cartons/boxes many years ago, and we all still do it to this day. Ya do NOT open them from the short side, but from the long side... . . .... so much easier to get all the ice cream out when they're getting empty, no ice cream all over your hands.. . . . ...

No need to pay . . . although you do need a gps. We already had one of those although I'm getting one that's designed for hiking/geocaching. Our current one is for the car and only lasts three hours till it needs to recharge. Probably wouldn't survive much of an impact or a light sprinkle of rain either. The new one will be . . . hardy.

Sounds like you're an experienced geocacher already!!! . . . and I'm sure there are already some hidden not to far from your house . . . we'll be over later and have a look around.

Forgot to tell you what happened at J's High School football* game Friday night. He's a cornerback* so he was next to the opposing players side. They had 2 extra men on the sideline who were yelling insults at J and at the refs*. The team was warned that the next time, they would have a penalty. The guys kept yelling and were ejected from the stadium. Guess who the men were? The school principal and assistant principal!

*Translations for Non-Americans:

Football - American Football played with a wierd shaped ball and boys in big pads and helmets

cornerback - defensive player always on the far side of the field from his parents so hard to see

Refs- Men wearing an unfortunate fashion choice and, in this game, in dire need of new eyeglasses

Hey, tell me what you think of this....I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping--yeah, I know, it's rediculous--but I always want to get something special for my mom and stepdad because they're so amazing, but I'm having a hard time thinking of something bc they don't really need anything. So they're going to Hawaii in January and I was thinking as their gift this year, while they were gone, I'd go to their house and prepare a month's worth of meals for them and fill up their freezer. They commute an hour each way every day and they're both tired when they get home, neither really wants to cook. I thought this might help out...

Side note: I had a dream that I was traveling all over WA state and I hopped on a ferry, not sure where I was going, and ended up at Jess's house! She seemed a little wierded out to see me, but was very hospitable :lol::lol:

I commute 90 minutes each way and couldn't do it if I didn't have a freezer full of food to grab on the way out the door, or to heat up when I got home. I think they would love it. I do crock pot meals (of course) but also fish in foil with little marinade or spice on it (put whole thing into oven to cook, sides up to you), sliced, cooked chicken breasts seasoned for Mexican or stir fry, twice baked potatoes wrapped in foil, you get the idea, both completely prepared, and quick to prepare things in case I feel like cooking.

My bologna has a first name it's O-S-C-A-R, my bologna has a second name, it's M-A-Y-E-R. Oh! I love to eat it every day and if you ask me why I'll say.'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!

I had to get that out of my system. I made my daughter a bologna sandwich this morning and that accursed jingle has been haunting me since! <_<

We've been having such fun on the gfp thread lately, and made such a crazy mess of it, that I thought it was time to move the silliness to it's own silly home. So come on in and join the silliness. Any topic is fair game. Laughter is the best medicine!

Does anybody else have a particularly annoying jingle stuck in their head? (Who let the dogs out?)

I'm new to this awesome forum, Celiac and thanks to Kareng this thread. Found out from my hubby that Vanilla Ice is getting a reality show where he builds a mansion. Am I the only one old enough to remember "Ice, Ice Baby?"

Holy temblors, Batman! Besides being awesome, Mother Nature can pack a punch! We have had 34 aftershocks in 36 hours, with a big five-oh yesterday centered just 10 kms from here :unsure: Just when things had quitened down and we had taken all the tape off the open shelving :rolleyes:. They told us the shaking was as hard as the 7.1 because it was so shallow (but it didn't last as long :P ) Just as well my cake was still in the oven or it would have fallen flat on its gooey face (honey-almond upside down pear cake - made from three different recipes or parts of recipes; needs a bit of tweaking :blink:, but the bridge club loved it after I slathered it with powdered sugar and ice cream :lol: ).So far only two little wriggles on the seismograph today. Wondering if I dare bake something??

      @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
