Thanks my friend,

I'm going to check it out on Amazon after my doctor appointment this morning (I have one every day this week). Going to see the band Kansas this Friday with Tny. Still not telling him until the summer and finals are over.

My painting is progressing SLOWLY. Basically a five year old can d better. Not giving up, though. It's relaxing. I bought a bunch of books on scryli (my favorite medium so far. My teacher was rather nasty and condescending so I'm not going to pay to be treated badly. I did confront her abut it.

Hope you're doing well!

Hi Low-e,

I am doing ok. I am heading over to the gluten free labeling summit later today to see this gigantic gluten-free cake they are making. No other motive than to support the gluten-free community of course, the huge, massive, multi-ton gluten-free cake is no motivation at all... :-) Hopefully there won't be any salad around.

I don't know if there is a book on the Eat to Defeat cancer diet or not. If you click the link I posted it will take you to their web site. There you can watch the TED talk video about the diet. Then you can sign up on their web site to do the diet like a good kid. It is free and they don't spam you. They have a list of the foods to eat on the site but you can't see until you sign up. The TED talk by the doctor/researcher guy is very interesting in itself. It is not geared towards gluten-free though.

Ha, you should not see some of my first paintings. They were purty pathetic. That's ok though, all part of the learning process. Seems ya gotta learn to do things wrong so you can learn what not to do and then the right way to do it is easier. After a while you just get better is all. :)

Ain' that the troof! For whatever the reason, I've kept all of my hard-fought works from my early days of institutionalized art instruction, and when I come across them from time to time, gads.. . . . ...

We wanna see your stuff, Low! Put some of it up on fb! :)

Jeeee-Eff, (and all o' youse Psills anywhere near the DC area) - - I and the immediate family may be driving down to Washington sometime in July. I have always wanted to go there, and our drives south have never gone far enough. I'm gonna put the word out later on if we decide to definitely go, but I would LOVE to meet you and see your art! :D

Simon! Are you posting on Mommy's account?

He just wishes he had a never ending salad.

:lol::lol:

1 more month, then he can eat all the salad he can handle! We are adhering to the 4mo rule this time... Apparently, that's when he becomes an adult, can start eating fruits and veggies and will start spraying everything in sight <_<

I spent the night dreaming about conditional probabilities and kinship coefficients. D'ya suppose there's any way I can get credit for this for my class?

kinship coefficients.

:huh: This sounds like something vaguely monarchical - - something of which I should know the meaning. . . . ...some Royal Mandate or Canon, then?

OR.. . . . . . ......:unsure:....is it.. . . . .. . . ...

MATHS??? :o

kinship coefficients.

I believe this has something to do with relatives. Figuring out that your dad's counsin's kid's baby is your 2nd cousin twice removed or some such. And a way to calculate how annoyed you will be when your MIL visits.

L = Length of visit (in town)

C = 1 for each car they want to borrow

D = Amount of days spent staying in your home

K = Kinship coeefficient

(L x D)squared x the square root of C = K

The relevance of K can be modified by the addition of OH, usually in the form of vodka. The direction of modification (positive or negative) depends on which side of the equation you add the OH to, yours or theirs.

And in the end, someone will end up with DCM due to ETOH... :huh:

Unfortunately I did too, mostly. We had a "Stinkers" thread on the Wetcanvas site a few years ago for people to contribute their masterpieces too. I had some doozies. But now they are all just so much less than that..

Well, if the queen wants ta visit, the queen is welcome ta visit. The prince was just here after all, admiring the local veggies. We had to splain to him how we grow 'em in the ground...

I was sprized the Qween would let him come to DC by his lonesome, all unsupervised and such tho. I speckt he will need to file a book report or a trip report with your hindsass when he gets back to the royal roozt?

We can go to all the big museums (Smithzoneians) and look at my art too M-Lee! Of course I'll have to put the art pics on a phone or camera card so you can see it inside the big museum...

I'll also have plenty of boxes of your varite of cheap, er wet, er, liquid winez to satisfy the Qweenly tastz.

Well, the kinship coefficient remains quite satisfactory when OH is added to EMILY whilst our most common (crap, is she coming AGAIN??) houseguest is added to our home equation... . . . . ....but holy crap, we look at real trouble when OH is added to MIL, and the car is thrown in.... . . . . . .

MIL + OH + CAR = chaos..... .. . . ..

But even MIL + CAR - OH = scary... . .. . ..

OK, my life is officially material for a sitcom. I have to delay all of my procedures (shots for shoulder and back and removal of lymph node) because I have two blocked aortic arteries and now have to have cardiac catheterization next week possibly followed by immediate angioplasty. I'm actually finding it all rather amusing. I'm calm and trust my doctors. I''m more worried about Clark than me.

Does this all ban me from the psillie thread? Now THAT would break my heart!

Love,

Oh, no, Low! Not MORE stuff!! :(

Bygawd, you have the BEST attitude. I admire you so much, and can only hope that if/when I get hammered as you have been with these big health issues, I will be as strong and positive as you! At least it's all happening concurrently and they can address it all, fix it up within a few months and then you're good! :)

Thinking of you. . . . . ....:wub:

Loweeeee, I insist that you KNOCK THIS CRAP OFF!!!!!!!!!

Can someone please explain to me the importance of the Red Velvet cake?! I am thoroughly stumped as to WHY IN HELL someone would want me to make them a cake that contains 4 OUNCES... 1/2 a CUP of red food dye?!?! I understand that people may enjoy the taste of a lighter chocolate cake, but why can't they just enjoy the taste of the pure ingredients and not the massive quantities of red food poisoning dye??

I had to make one yesterday. A big arse one. It looked like a massacre had occured in my kitchen by the time I was done. The dye was everywhere. Bloody looking fingerprints all over the counters, sink and mixer. I was getting more and more pissed as the night went on. Plus, the 4oz of dye cost me nearly 16$, which is NOT what I had anticipated when I gave my customer the quote for the cake. I won't lose any money on it, but I'm not making much either. Live and learn I guess. I'm going to have to add 50-75cents per serving for the red velvet from now on!!

On the funnier side, Madeleine made a 7ft mural all about bacon yesterday. It's hilarious!! I'll have to take a picture of it :lol:

Actually, its a blessing that the other problems helped you catch the blockages.

I believe you still qualify as a psilly because this is all sort of funny in sick comedy type way. Perhaps you can come out of this as The Bionic Woman?

And after all that red dye, its dried blood red at best.

A bacon mural sounds like one of the most important peices of art of this century to date! Where is this? Your kitchen? Her bedroom? Please post a pic.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
