I showed Smackl . . . he loved it. Our high school has a robotics club I would love for him to get involved in. He's in fifth grade. Is that jumping the gun a bit? :lol:

Check out www.us first.org. FLL is First Lego League for younger kids. Some of the high schools sponsor these.

Actually, our own Elementary School was looking into forming a team. Instead they just started a lego club . . . don't know if it will develop into something more or not. The highschool robotics club holds lego camp each summer as a fundraiser for their orginization. They use the Lego Mindstorm as a basis and work in teams and compete at the end of the week. Smackl did it a year and a half ago. Last summer, we just weren't here.

Looks pretty bad. The fault line seems to run across the road in this video. Could be the worst damage is long that line. Lots of people walking around tho and cars even able to drive down the street, so not total devastation. Buildings are still standing right along this fault line, if that's what it is. Hopefully Schroomster was home by the time it hit in the afternoon. May the Lord keep you and bless you Shroommie!

Here's the reassuring post :) We are okay, house okay, even though we were only about 3 miles from the epicentre. Central city is pretty much destroyed though :( , and the town of Lyttelton just across the harbour from us is devastated (it was the epicentre). We have had hundreds (some of them gimungous) of aftershocks, Miss Em is scared witless (me too :blink: ), but power just came back on. 65 deaths, lots of people still trapped in buildings (it was lunch-hour), helicopters and planes fighting fires, it's a mess, but we will survive :ph34r::rolleyes:

Shroomie . . . Thanks so much for posting. We were all worried . . . and all saddened by the news. Stay safe.

The most vital ingredient is worchestershire sauce.......NOT gluten-free in Canada. :angry: Jus' doesn't taste the same without it... . . . . . . ..:(

Want me to send you some??

Yup, felt the same way about the 'short bus' quips.

I'm soooooo sorry!!! I sent you a fb message....

Hi Psilles,

Just reading through all of the posts I've missed. Ever find out what died in your fridge (was it Em)?

nnnoooo......I'm pretty sure Em didn't die in the fridge :P

BTW.....glad to hear those shots are helping :)

Maybe I could start some threads asking if odd foods are gluten-free. Chocolate covered ants? Marmite? Pork rinds?

Pork rinds are gluten free. Don't know about the flavored ones, though.

Going to Five Guys tonight . . . first time we're trying this place . . . hope we like it. We need a few more places where the kids will actually eat and I feel safe enough to take Skeeter.

Hmmmmm....I haven't tried them. Is that up in your neck o' the woods?

Well.....I had an awesome weekend! Friday night was a slumber party with my female co-workers. Saturday I finally did something that's been on my bucket list forever and took a precious metal clay (Silver jewelry) class. Sunday was dancing, and a day off Monday!

I took the leap and gave meselph bangs! Cheaper than botox! :lol: And I think I got the desired effect, as I've been told it makes me look younger B)

So glad Shroomie is OK! Whew, that was a close one!

We love you Nikkers :wub:

Do I need to apologize? :unsure: Canna remember what I have said. Too lazy to look and google search is..... :angry: ticking me off!

So please accept my apologies for anything I might have said.

Can I just apologize now to everyone for anything I might say in the future?

Glad to hear you are ok Shroomie! The reports said the whole city is built on a sand and shale underlayer that turns to jello in a quake, Sounds scary!

nnnoooo......I'm pretty sure Em didn't die in the fridge :P

...

Good to hear Em made it out of the frig ok! Must be cold in there with all that ice milk around!

Can I just apologize now to everyone for anything I might say in the future?

Well itz about time U 'pologized for them future wordz Lesur! Geez, now we have to imagine the aw-full things that will be pouring out at us in days to come... Wee's better take our stiff upper lip pills daily from now on! :o:unsure::(:blink::D:lol::D

Sounds a bit like a Catholic "pre-confession" - "Father, I am going to sin tomorrow...." How many Hail Mary's for a pre-confession?

Glad to hear you are ok Shroomie! The reports said the whole city is built on a sand and shale underlayer that turns to jello in a quake, Sounds scary!

Well yes, it is a gravel alluvial plain with shales washed down from the Southern Alps which form the backbone of the island. What that description leaves out is that half the city used to be a swamp!! :blink: My ancestors when they arrived on the First Four Ships (or at least my grandmother with several greats in front ,because my many times great grandfather died as they entered the harbour) spent many years in Lyttelton, the port, before she could make it over the hill and through the swamps to take up the ancestral land purchased in England before the voyage.

Now just how many cities do you know that have a suburb called Marshland??? :lol: The most unlikely soil type for a city yer ever heard of. Houses built in "Marshland" have to have poles inserted (can't remember how many now) meters into the "soil" - something like 30 feet :o for a foundation. Now why they didn't do that in Bexley goodness only knows :rolleyes: That's what we pay our elected officials for :P

I (incidentally) live "over the hill" on volcanic rock :ph34r: , the harbour being the crater and the hill being the rim. :lol:

Weren't they called " Dispensations"? Pay money to get your sins forgiven.

Volcanic rock? Now we have to worry you will be carried away by lava?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.
    • knitty kitty
      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  
    • knitty kitty
      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse.  Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain.  Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders? A cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12442269/   Nutritional Strategies for Chronic Craniofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: Current Clinical and Preclinical Insights https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11397166/   Serum nutrient deficiencies in the patient with complex temporomandibular joint problems https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2446412/

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
