Madeleine is running track now. Her biggest problem.... She runs like a girl :huh: Knees nearly together, arms flailing. She looks like Sandra from that show 227...'member that?? :lol::lol: We're trying to teach her to run like a boy, or at least a normal girl but it's not working. She's getting faster, she just doesn't look any better :lol::lol:

Bonus though, her increase in speed landed her a full handstand from a sprint on the vault on Monday. Then I was the dork, I stood up and whooped from the stands. There's a 100 kids out there... Everyone looked at me like I was the fool :rolleyes:

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,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Sounds like you're going in for a complete overhaul, Loweeee!By the time yer done, you'll be good for another hundred thousand miles!

....and don't even THINK that you can get rid of us!

Hi Psilles,

Just a quick note before I head back to bed to let you know that things went well yesterday and the result showed that I have hypertension (treatable with meds). The worst thing about the procedure were 1) it took 4 tries to find a vein (and the IV specialist) and 2) I had to lie on my back for 6 hours (ouch). Now I can reschedule the other procedures. Thanks for all the love and positive energy. Can't wait to get back online regularly and also visit other threads in case all of my illnesses can help anyone else. The psillie thread is my home!!

Ya gotta hurry back, here, Low.. . . .. ..there's another addictive thread-on-fire afoot here, and it's being frequented by many a Psilly... . . .. . requiring knowledge of songs and singers, I'm afraid, and I'm much sillier than I am proficient at recalling names. Therefore, I pop over there, struggle, and leave for a while. :lol:

Mulberry, the little silkie, is too small to get up on the shoe box with the big kids and she'll cry pitifully when they're all up there and she can't jump up so I put a tea box next to the shoe box so she can double hop to get up with everyone else. :) :) She also falls off the other side, but that's a whole different issue. :P

Was looking up a recipe on line and this is part of the instructions:

Let the soup cool for a few minutes, then transfer to the blender and carefully blend at high speed until smooth. Do I have to remind you to do this in stages, with the blender's lid firmly held down, and with the weight of your body keeping that thing from flying off and allowing boiling hot mushroom pur

:lol: :lol: Poor boy is exhausted. I left him home alone to sleep. He was already napping on the couch when I left, so I expect he'll be out cold soon. He tends to hog the bed, so I didn't get much sleep last night and I'm looking forward to being out cold shortly.

Wore him out did you?? Hard night, hard day....:lol:

On a more genteel note, the delights of a fall garden. Wandered out in the late sunlight, picked some apples for an apple cobbler, a couple of artichokes, and some hydrgangeas which have faded to a glorious dusky pink/blue/green combination for a bit of decoration. Cold blast of early winter approaching tonight. :( Nevermind. In a couple of weeks we should be getting our roof repairs and our soapstone fireplace repairs, and these damnable aftershocks can quit already!!! :angry:

Heyy Psills - how 're we doing??

I have chickens in my pocket. :ph34r::P :P

Seriously need a picture of them!!

Lots of change is aphoot over 'ere.

Sadly, our (Tel & me) relationship with our youngest son (Devil Child) has completely broken down and he has HAD to move out.

This saddens & troubles me as he is only 16yrs old but simply CANNOT have him threatening me. - the stress was enormous living with his behaviour dry.gif

LOts & lots of stuph has gone on - mostly hideously embarassing for me to admit as I gave birth to him rolleyes.gif but we've finally reached the end of the line.

Our eldest son (22yrs) is also moving out (but under normal circumstance...will be flat sharing with a pal. Bachelor pad!! tongue.gif)

Soooo with just Alzey at home I'm feeling a slight 'empty nest' syndrome.

The upside is with the 2012 Olympics coming I've got 2 empty beds for any psills who wanna come wink.gif!!!!

What else....OH, and Tel's got shingles dry.gif Think stress had a part to play in that tho'

Carry on yooz peeps smile.gif

Gnickkers! I am really sorry to hear about DC. :( It sounds like something that had to happen, however... . . . ...and his moving out will bring positive change to your everyday life, for certain, and this is good. Perhaps it will end up bringing good things his way, as well.. . . ..it can only get better, right? Thinking o' youse.. .. ...:wub:

So, I'VE got first dibs on DC's bed for those sixteen days in 2012... . . . ...

Tel's got shingles on 'is face. .. ....:( .. Jyessss's got chickens in 'er pocket. . . . . . ...:). . . ...

      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,...

      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.
