Deputies did not say why Trumble attacked the washer. She was ticketed.

First time I read this, I thought it said, "She was ticked"

:rolleyes:

Talk about a dichotomy. Anyway, as usual I digress. We should figure out which psillie could role play and try the woman who assaulted the washer. I can think of reasons I'd assault my glass top stove.Thanks for the smile biggrin.gif I'll pop in again later.Loey

Hmmmmm.....I think Nikkers could play the woman who attacked the washer. Methinks she might have some pent-up anger....just guessing :P

She'd be a natural, but in her role-playing you'd have to tell her it was the boiler :ph34r: not the washer.

Perhaps it was all a ruse . . . maybe she just wanted something new. My current washer & dryer don't match, don't do very big loads and are LOUD. I told me hubby which ever one goes out first, we're replacing them both with a top notch (cha-chinchillaching) pair. That was several years ago. They're still going . . . I might have to resort to sabotage . . . with a knife apparently.

Riddle me this, batman . . . why is the person (Skeeter) with the most clothes in the house, the one that runs out of clean clothes first??

Hiya Jan-it!!!!! :D

How's things?

Ummmm . . . busy, I guess . . . Smackl is transitioning to middle school. Lots of events in the schedule. Tomorrow they have what they call a "try on" . . . where any 5th grader can go over and try a couple of the instruments to see if they want to take band. Smackl has decided to try the trumpet, the viola, and the bassoon. I think he wants to try the bassoon just because it looks weird.

Also, Smackl is in the homestretch for his black belt. Final testing is in June. Lots more practices, some seminars, letters of recommendation and a community service project . . . I have to take him to get passport photos taken for his ID which gets issues out of Korea.

In other news, it seems like my kids did not do well with the time change . . . they are both pretty grumpy . . . I have resorted to telling them to quit talking to each other.

Also, just had some good friends leave for England on Sunday. They will be there for three years. Nikkers, we are headed to England the summer after next . . . pencil me in.

When I was about 12, maybe, I killed my parents' washer. One of my many chores was to do the laundry and in those days, the machine could run the whole cycle with the lid open. I saw my mom run it this way many times, so didn't think anything of it. So, I was running a load and heard the most gawd awful banging--the jug of fabric softener had fallen in, and I guess made the load terribly off-balance and the drum came loose and was banging around and making dents in all sides of the machine.

Killed it :rolleyes:

:unsure: Appliance abuse?

I have wanted to do this many times to my appliances. However, i was afraid I would hurt myself.

So much has happened today while I was trying to ski! Can't get any pics of the boys as I cannot catch up to them. They only meet up for lunch so we will fund it.

A dryer is easy to sabotage. If you have the manual ( if not look on line - at the library so it can't be traced back to you) look for the fuse. Pull it out.

Wa-lah! New appliances all around!

Okay psills - new vocabulary word for the day (for me lately anyway - I was used to the first definition)

"Munted" - formerly used in the sense of an over-inebriated state, like I got totally munted on wodka last night. New use: shattered, buggared (this word is okay here - Toyota even used it in a commercial :rolleyes: ), destroyed, irreparable, flattened, as in: That building is totally munted.

Mayor Bob Parker has now issued three levels of muntedness - the minor-munt, the medium-munt and the mega-munt, I would guess roughly corresponding with green stickered, yellow stickered or red stickered Our house has a minor munt. :) but we still need to remediate the muntedness before we leave it for da winter - may delay our departure :( #%*/@ red tape :blink:

Heading to Toronto this afternoon for a few days. We are, appropriately as I am Kween 'round here for while longer, attending this on Friday night:

I called the information number to let them know about my status as Monarch. Went something like, "Just in case you are not aware, I am the Psillyville Queen for the next fifty pages... . .I am assuming that this presents me with a free entrance pass, seating on the arena floor and perhaps an opportunity to be officially introduced to the thousands in the audience. Likely the knights and jousters will wish to sweep me up on their chargers at some point in the performance -- I will take the opportunity now to give my Royal Consent to this".

Annnnnnnnnnd: Silence.

"Hello?.... . ... .. Hello?"

When I first joined the psillies and wanted to hear the story of Jess and BE I read the thread from the start of their relationship. I really have to get a life (other than going to doctor's offices)! Hey, at least today's doctor's appointment is just for eyeglasses - no poking and prodding. Tomorrow is the follow-up with the Oncologist and Friday the Neurologist. Get new shots in my spine next week and the following week I see the cardiologist (where he will give me a drug to stimulate a stress test) and finally my PCP and then it looks like April is free and clear- YAY!!!!! Now Clark just needs a job. No word from the place he interviewed

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @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. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. 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...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @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.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
