He is in the chorus, so nothing up-front, but one of the vital support cast in the background who makes it all look and sound amazing.

As my favorite director always says "there are no small parts, only small actors"

Well. . . ....I am still on a high. We went to the opening night of The Drowsy Chaperone at Jack's school, and it was incredible. I sound very like a biased mom, but everyone in the audience was truly blown away. I only wish Soooozle could have been there.... . ....

:lol:

Jack was fantastic. He is in the chorus, so nothing up-front, but one of the vital support cast in the background who makes it all look and sound amazing. He plays the part, in this scene, of one of the cameramen who dances around, lifts up the leading lady, and generally keeps smiling', movin' his feet and singin'.. .. . ..

Looks great!

Gads, have I got a lot to do. .. . . .. :wacko::wacko::wacko:

Having a 50th birthday party here this Saturday night for DH. He is MUCH, MUCH older than I. <_< There will be about twenty people, just family and a few close friends. (Um, guess who is flying in tomorrow, 5:42 pm?). . . . ...

.. . ..MIL . .. . .... :noadequateemoticonavailable:

Saturday night is coincidentally the final night of Jack's musical production, which actually works out well because almost everyone who is coming to the party will be heading to the musical afterwards. It'll be one big convoy.. . .. ..

SOosoosooOoO, I have to clean the entire house and the yard in case we are out on the deck, hit groceries and the liquor store... . . ....and the big thing: I decided four days ago to do a painting for DH. I am about half-finished.....it must be dry, matted and framed by Friday night.

:unsure:

So WHAT IN HELL am I doing on here??. . .

Well, forget all that unimportant stuph! Whutz the painting? Let some particulars already. A grand landscape of the deck and yard? A dashing portrait of the thespian in costume? Maybe of portrait of the prime minister or the Qween?

There would be no reaction. They are accustomed to being completely embarrassed by me. I would expect them to roll their eyes and walk away, saying, "please just don't hang that near MY room!"

:lol:

Nothing so patriotic nor personal.. . . .. ..I actually thought about taking a pic of it before it was framed and then posting it, but completely forgot, and I had a helluva time getting it into this honkin' frame.....so perhaps I'll take a shot of it as is. There will be major reflective shine-back.. . . . ...

It is a very tight, close view of a pair of legs and feet in old oxfords, white socks and brown trousers. Behind the two legs are two legs of a stool -- it is a seated man - - and between the two (human) legs sits a trumpet, resting on the floor.....suggestive of a New Orleans jazz player taking a break.

'Tis interesting.. .. . . ...strange.. . . ..odd, vaguely surprising coloUrs... .... . . . .I think DH will stare at it like this.. . . ... :huh:

:rolleyes:

Major reflections eh? I get that problem too. I often take my paintings outside on the deck and face them away from the sun to take pics. Wurks best when it's snot raining. :( My deck is only in the direct sun early in the day, and afternoon has more indirect light. So I can take pitchurs in the afternoon purty gud. Yeah, I can. I can so. So thar!

Em! I absolutely LOVE your painting! And I can't see anything wrong with the shoe. But I know how you feel. I am highly critical of my calligraphy and always see something that I am not happy with. I have been told that it's not supposed to be perfect, but it's hard to let it be.

My dad is a painter and he once did an abstract containing various musical instruments. The flautist was holding the flute wrong :huh: Now THAT'S unforgiveable, seeing as how that is my instrument of choice. <_<

Hello my dear psilles,

Just wanted to let you know I'm keeping up with reading the posts. I have the flu again. At least i finally know why I keep getting sick. It's due to the CLL. My doctor was upset that I didn't go in to see her sooner but I don't want antibiotics or prednisone if my body can still fight off the infection. Evidently that's not the case and I have to go in at the first sign of illness. Now the medical bills are rolling in for all of the tests that weren't covered. Luckily Clark still has pretty good medical insurance. He's extremely stressed about getting a job and the layoff is coming soon. Worse case we'll put our house on the market and move to something smaller. There are a few possibilities and they might actually bring me closer to NJ. We don't need a big house. I just hope we can keep Tony at Brown.

Enough about me. Jess, how's school going? Is everyone else doing all right between flooding and natural disasterss? I miss being online daily and miss all of you even more. I just don't have much energy. But reading your banter keeps me laughing. BTW, who's currently running the monarchy and are you attending the royal wedding?

Had a really weird comment on my profile page and was getting ready to send a copy of it to PeOter but when I went to copy it today it was already removed (thank you to whomever didi it). It referred to wanting a "personal relationship" with me, left an email address and when I looked at the profile it was male (although the name was female). Thanks to the moderators for doing such a great job - have to admit it creeped me out.

OK, back to rest. Watched the mini series Mildred Pierce yesterday (all 5 hours) and it was awesome. Today I'm going to watch the original.

Lots of wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif and hugs,

Loey

I'm really impressed!!!!! I'm phailing in my art class. Everyone else is so professional and my work looks like a 5 year old could do it. Will continue because it's relaxing and hopefully I'll improve over time.

Hi, Loweee! :) Great to read you again.......was wondering how everything is with you....take care o' that phloo!

But reading your banter keeps me laughing. BTW, who's currently running the monarchy and are you attending the royal wedding?

I just cannot understand it.....here I am, Psillyville Kween, and there has been NO official invitation, as yet, to the royal wedding for me in the mail. Gads, they certainly take it right down to the wire! It is in two weeks, and I have to book a flight, get hotel reservations, arrange for someone to take over royal protocol in my absence.. ....rather inconsiderate of them, I must say.. .. . .....Can they not appreciate that I need time to make arrangemnts before I go overseas??

Had a really weird comment on my profile page and was getting ready to send a copy of it to PeOter but when I went to copy it today it was already removed (thank you to whomever didi it).

He/she targeted me, as well. Thanks, mods!

      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.

      @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.
