Stay away from haunted houses this weekend.

We have a nice lady ghost in our house now. She really likes my daughter and seems to tease both kids. She freaked the crap out of my son though. I was in the room when it happened. He was on the floor playing and he reached forward to grab another pillow and the pillow flipped over away from him. I've never seen him move so fast in my life! She seems to have left him alone since. She calls my dd's name frequently. It doesn't bother dd, she just always comes in the kitchen and says "What?"

I say, "What, What??"

She says, "You called me..."

I say, "Nope"

She says, "Hmmmm, OK" Then goes about her business.

The house I lived in from kindergarten-3rd grade was so freakily haunted that my mom had our priest come check it out. He managed to release the 'spirit(s)' that day. The crazy thing was that we never told anyone about the stuff that happened there, didn't want people to think we were crazy, but the neighbors above our house asked my mom a few days later if something happened on this certain day at this certain time.... Mom asked why and they said that they were sitting out on their front porch and they heard this wailing sound that appeared to be coming from our house then moved upwards, past their house, up into the 'sky' Said it sounded like children crying...

Spooky!

When my mom was rehabbing and in a nursing home, I think my dad was enjoying his time home alone.

My mom was the same way.. . ..she'd spend the day at the hospital with my dad, then go back to their apartment and insist on being by herself for the evening and overnight.

I think that is when she began experimenting with the Sharpies.. . . . ...

We have a nice lady ghost in our house now.

OMG.. . ..your ghost stories absolutely fascinate and captivate me, Rah-shyelllle. The perfectly written "hello" (was that the word?) in the steam on your shower door. . . . .... ...(((((((goooooosebumps))))))). . . . . . . . ...:unsure:

Glad to hear it's a nice ghost. The Exorcist is Souperman's favorite movie. I can't even count the number of times we've watched it. We visited the house in Georgetown and walked down the stairs. I was a lot younger and healthier then - thankfully no Ataxia yet.

Looks like BIL is having annual Halloween party Sat. Must have costumes. Last 2 years I went as a " pretty" witch. Previous I went as Sally & hub went as Jack Skeleton.

I want an easy, comfy costume for an overweight, out of shape older woman. One of the football moms needs a costume, too. ( different party, lady hosting hates my hub cause he thinks he is one of the ones responsible for his getting fired - can't blame himself and his corruption).. We thought we might go as housewives from this area. Workout clothes and lots of jewelry and makeup and fixed hair. I had a neighbor who used to mow her lawn in pressed jeans or khaki shorts, cute top, low heels and a beautiful silver bead necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. I'm afraid they won't think that is much of an effort. I can't eat all the delicious food, I should at least be comfy. Good thing is BIL is a huge hard cider fan & wife likes wine.

I cpuld wear my Top Chef jacket and get some scrub pants with a food pattern. It's a bit hot, temperature wise but easy to wear. What should hub be? Padma? A chef's knife? :)

Heard one at the bus stop . . . wear pink sweats and tie a shoe to the top of yer head . . . then you're bubble gum stuck to the bottom of a shoe. Hub could walk around chewing big wads of gum and blowing bubbles. If he wanted to be more authentic, he could actually spit his gum out on the floor of your BIL's house and stick some under the coffee table and various other pieces of furniture.

Like the cane idea! We had a couple of blind refs a few weeks ago.

Do you think the bubble gum goes with beer? Cause if it interfers with the beer....

I'm taking the easy weigh out and have a pirate mask (will cover the shiner if it's not totally gone) and comes with little lady GaGa like finger gloves and a choker. I have a really cool flapper costume I used to wear when Zuperman & I used to go to parties (as well as many costumes from when my 18 year old was growing up). Wish I could send them through osmosis.

I'm thinking Top Chef. I have a white chef coat that says "Top Chef Karen". would be easy and comfortable. Maybe husband could wear a meat suit. :unsure: I wonder where I could find a lobster bib. He could be the diner. He could wear a white shirt and black or khaki pants and be the waiter. My sewing machine is perpetually broken or I could make a little waiter apron. HMMM.. Then if I carry around a plate of food I brought with me, the costume is my cover.

We had a world class boy gymnist (SP?) at our high school. Guy was so impressed with his physique he couldn't keep his shirt on. Between classes, would take off his shirt and put it back on 3 minutes later when the next class started.

That's AWESOME!!! Good Idear ;)

You have nooooooo idea how bad that guy really turned out to be. Then he actually 'friended' me on FB last year. I shot a message back to him saying, 'Are you f'ing serious?! NOT a good idea!' Plus, if my hub ever found him....... bad idea!!! Buuuuuut, nothing 2 years of therapy couldn't cure :rolleyes:

MIL knows all about it too. That was one of our bonding moments years ago. She was also sexually assaulted as a teen. Odd that that was one of the major things we had in common :blink:

Hey! Is the bruise starting to look like something or someone? Michael Jackson, perhaps, or, after a couple of days, Louis Armstrong in full trumpet-blow? Around here you must report any changes to bruises, what/who it is currently resembling......... :rolleyes:

My DD wears a jill during hockey - - goes right where a jock goes for guys, but it is thick cloth that straps around the area. Not nearly as terrifying. Don't suppose Kherrighnne could talk her DS into switching to one o' these. . .. . .. . ...<_<

I can't get him to take his shirt off anywhere outside of home--Like doing quick changes at Target to try on shirts.... Not that I try to get my 5 year old to strip :lol: But at home its a different story. He wears his pajama tops open like Hugh Heffner :lol::lol:

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
