Most definitely.

No wind for us, it's cold (not east coast cold, but Seattle cold) and sunny (ok, well, it's dark now, but 'twas sunny a few hours ago).

So I accidentally bought some chocolate, and I've discovered that after eating the 70% kind, the 'normal' dark chocolate (45%) tastes like milk chocolate.

Accidentally bought chocolate? You were reaching for the brocolii and grabbed the wrong thing?

Man, I HATE when that happens. . . .. ... . ..Who hasn't, in their stressed, rushed, lives, confused that big head o' broccoli in the grocery bin for that box of chocolate right beside it? They need to separate these items within the store -- too easily confused, and then BAM! I've got a big container o' chocolate in my house.. .. . . ....

<_<

:rolleyes:

School is out again today. Everything is covered in a thick layer of ice.

DD, in an attempt to de-ice her car, has broken her back windshield (she was using a hammer :o ). Many tears followed :( .

I think you mean he did NOT see his shadow. And yes, I am sooo ready for an early spring.

25 degrees here....not too terrible, but I will be driving my daughters newly air-conditioned car to the repair shop....brrrrr :ph34r:

She had already broken her ice scraper yesterday, trying to chip away the ice from her car. She saw a neighbor doing it (although I think his was a mallet), so......

Good news

The windshield will cost $400 to replace, BUT........the company she works for will reimburse her.

Hubby just tried to do some shoveling . . . he DID get a layer off so that we can get the back door open to let JoDog out to take cake of bidness. I asked if he was going to try the driveway next <snort>. . . it ain't happenin'.

I don't think we got as much as they predicted, but what we got is bad enough . . . sleet fused together with ice . . . very slick and concretish at our house. Have absolutely no idea what the roads are doing. Nobody's moving thru the neighborhood at all. Neighbor kids were ice skating in the cul-de-sac yesterday. We've got some tree limbs down but they're not too big. Of course the tree I would most like to lose (and replace with something much better) is standing strong.

Yeah, and on dat tree, too. .. .... . . . ..<_<

It is rather sublime, here, outside. Blowing psnaough... . . .like a wee blizzard. Ice is forming, but haven't seen any tree limbs down as yet. Spotty power outages. We are so accustomed to this, it is a regular day. Kids at school, buses moving, all kinds of cars on the roads, pedestrains plowing through the sidewalks and streets. . . . . ...... .

We's a crazy lot... . . .. ... :rolleyes:

Yeah, we would have had school cancelled, grocery stores out of food cuz peep's are freaking out and buying everything on the shelves, regular TV programs interrupted bu "Special Breaking News" reporting each new cm of psnoh and every accident on the road :rolleyes:

I just want a psnoh day-WITH power outage- to have an excuse to stay in bed and read all day! :)

Things are going a wee bit haywire for Clark and me. Saw FP on Wednesday and now I have to see five specialists and have 5 tests done. Then yesterday my DH called at 7:30 AM to let me know his department is being transferred to Cambridge Mass. WTF? we just got here 6 months ago. Spent the day wondering all the 3 W's . Had to wait until 5:30 PM to find out any info. We talked it over last night and I think it's going to take 18 to 24 months before the actual move. We're going to stay in RI and he'll probably take an apartment with some of the other displaced men and come home Friday through Sunday. We lived like that for 3 months last year but it was at the height of my illness. It still sucked. This would be for about 5 years and then he could retire at 55. I'm glad that we won't be selling the house (as if we could in this market) and we're pretty sure he won't be one of the people laid off. But I see now why he has said the Pfizer has a horrible reputation.

Thanks for letting me vent!

Cool tunnel!!! . . . Karen, is it big enough to make a tunnel for the car to get out of the drive thru?

Hubby keeps going out and hacking at the drive and them coming back in to say he can't make a dent then going back out to hack at the drive . . . etc . . . he's talking about using the ax . . . hope I can get him to the ER when he has a heart attack or accidently chops his foot off.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
