Municipal (civic) elections were held today in Ontario. The weather in Toronto was expected to be rainy, but after a dank early morning the sun came out.

Polls closed an hour and a half ago, and it seems that voter turnout in Toronto was higher than expected.

A sea shift will take place at Silly Hall, as fiscal conservatives throw the socialists out. The incumbent mayor did not run, having ruined his chances with the 2009 garbage strike. His antithesis, who campaigned to "stop the gravy train at city hall," has won by a good margin. It will be a very different city over the next four years. :)

I can probably handle the polynomials . . . I can probably get you through most if not all of high school math. Sorry Jess, only had a smidgen of stats (although I did think it looked interesting) and can nae help you. I do love made up statistics as Smackl does it ALL the time . . . I think he thinks he sounds like an expert when he says stuff like "About 72% of dogs dream about rabbits" . . . and who am I to contradict him?

Liar; Damned Liar; Expert Witness.

Lie; Damned Lie; Statistic.

Statistical analysis is much more than reporting that a hitter batted .240. The maths are very complex, and although I grew up with not one, but two parents who were professionals in the field, I still don't grasp confidence intervals. I wonder at times whether "standard deviation" is an oxymoron. :blink:

I'm afraid the opposite will be true, here. :unsure: Our fiesty, fiscally conservative, give-the-unions-hell businessman mayor was solidly defeated by a liberal, a career politician who was the right-hand man to Dalton McGuinty as a provincial minister. :angry:

Dear gawd.. .. .......my braaaaaaiiin.. . ........

A confidence interval is something I do not experience enough in my life. Is this not an episode where I can suddenly walk into my boss's office and demand more money, or step onto the scales and look brazenly down at the numbers, no peeking out from my fingers? And standard deviation. . .. . ....well, likely plenty o' THAT happening in me life... . . . . .... . <_<

HI all

It's been weeks since I've been on but have been reading along at times.

Jess, hear good things are happening to you last page i read

Wish our elections were over here. Nothing on TV but the adds bashing each other.

MIL, comments above just crack me up.......'well according to her your going to Hell anyway, what have you got to lose"

what I want to know is ................were is the sun in sunny CA.cool.gifph34r.gif Haven't seen it for weeks. Just the marine layer hovering over head.

Things are good here and still settling in. Jim and I went to Anza Borrego Desert for a couple of days and it was so great to get away. Jim took a photography class and nite astronomy session. While he was filling his brain with knowledge, I was laying by the pool :) We left the desert at 95 degrees and sunny and got home 1 1/2 hrs later to gloom and 62 degrees and drizzle. It's amazing how the weather changes here. I'm still in augh of our new area.

Not much else to report but still read along.tongue.gif

I'd probably burst out laughin... Yup that woman has got a sense of humor... I can handle that... But I am guessin yer MIL would be somethin along the lines of "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WAS RIGHT GET THAT DEVILISH WOMAN OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!! COVER THE KIDS EARS!!!!!!!!!!"

Have ye ever tried singin "Blow Gabriel Blow" from Anything Goes in here presence? I think maybe the reaction would be priceless...

(Love Anything Goes btw)

Once upon a time, my hubby and I were a duke and duchess. We were invited to a ball by the king himself. After bein introduced we spoke a few mins with the king. Then we danced the night away. Until, that is, the prince and his wife appeared. And apparently I got in a fight with the princess. Soon our wigs flew off and started fightin each other. And then all the mens canes came attacking me....

(This was a dream I had recently btw)

I didn't know my MIL understood English for the first three years of my marriage. Of course once I took care of her when she got sick it was a different story. Man, do I miss her paella and empanadas (though I'm sure they weren't gluten-free). Holidays at our house are tame because it's just the 3 of us and sometimes my brother and SIL.

Ooh yay! Royal Coronation! Gimme Gimme! I want a crown with amethyst and emerald gems on it, silver please! As for the jester though, I don't know if I need one, I can entertain quite well... or So I am told. (Probably because I scare easily, or I fall standing still, or walls keep jumping out at me, Or I mix up my words/sentences)

The dreams I can remember are often quite....interesting... You should hear the nightmare I had the other day... (And I'd wake up, go back to sleep and it would just continue. That never happens, except for this time.

Once upon a time, a family sat down for an evening meal. But it was no ordinary meal, it was a meal to introduce one of the daughter's beau to the entire family. But the Beau was late. So one daughter goes up to check on him. (Me in the dream, it was supposedly my family but everyone looked really different and I suddenly had a lot more sisters and no brothers) She finds him in the shower pinned against the wall, and blood dripping down. (Oh and of course shower is still running) I scream and my sister and father come running up. And somehow the scene changes and I am in my bedroom. "Father" demonstrates to my sister what would have happened by throwing daggers at me. (Here is the first time I wake up) On another occasion, a fire starts in our house, or something similar, and so everyone evacuates. But apparently one of my sisters never made it out. So "Father" goes back in to find her. And then we hear maniacal laughter before the house blows up. Its here we realize "Father" killed the beau and my sister and made the house explode. (Wake up number two) After this we end up roaming the alleys near where we live, and some ladies end up chasing us. They apparently are wanting one of my sisters (told you I have a lot of sisters.) Soon we end up in an alley where there are a lot of look alikes to my sister the women are after. We lose my sister and thus have to find her. The ladies corner us and ask her to help them find her in the alley of look alikes. The only way to tell which is our sister is by her shoes, she has a very distinct pair of shoes. But its still hard because everyone has shoes similar to hers. (My sister's shoes were black heeled sneaker type shoes with criss-crossing bands.) So finally we find someone who looks like my sister, but isn't and tell the women its her. Meanwhile we look for my sister. After finding her, we run away, hoping to outrun our pursuers. (wake up 3) We then end up in some discount department store, and the women figured out that it wasn't my sister we pointed out to them, and now they are pursuing us in the store. We mad dash down aisles, and such trying to dodge them. Finally we all (I am not sure how we fit four girls) hide in one of those round clothing racks. The women look and look in our rack but somehow we are all able to move away from where they are looking. (Final wake up.)

And Jess, yes my first dream = VERY Alice in Wonderlandish.

Good thing you don't watch the movies that Superman and I do (or should I call him Clark when not saving the word). Their plots sound like your dream. Stay away from haunted houses this weekend. We're going to the Bates Haunted Motel. Supposedly two ships wrecked on the beach near our house in the 1600s and one of the Captains took up residence in the Motel. Last year we went to a haunted penitently in Philly.

BE's dad is being released to a convalescent home within walking distance of his home so his wife can walk over and see him. They're both in their 80's so they have that whole lifetime-of-being-with-each-other thing going on. I hope he gets through this quickly.

But I'm already taking care of Oey & Dixiebell....Someone else has to walk, feed & clean-up after Row.

      @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.

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?

      By catnapt · Posted

      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
