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.

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

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @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?
