Funny! I have a couple who peck at my fingernails when I pet them.

To give the bigger chicks a little more room I put a big box in front of their cage with the side down so they can go in and out. They spent the first hour "daring each other to go in. One would stand on the edge of the cage and another one would dive bomb her from the top of the shoe box, shoving her outside. Then they'd all scream bloody murder and go running into the back of the cage. The it would start all over with a different brave soul standing at the edge.

You little devil!

Its just been pouring rain all day! :(

J is finished with high school, we hope! Don't really know until you open the envelope they give him Sunday at Graduation. ;)

Of course J will graduate and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Clark & I had a horrible time adjusting to Tony's leaving (especially since he rarely got in touch at first). Things improved over the year and today he's bringing his stuff (and his crush whom we love) home to drop off his stuff then go back up to Brown to get Bethany's things (crush) to store here over the summer - she's from Chicago. Then they're helping friends move their things to storage, What he doesn't understand is a tank of gas is $75 here and we're not paying it for him. I can't believe he's completed his first year. We're going to have a quick lunch at a restaurant that's hiring so hopefully they'll see something in him. He doesn't have paid job experience.

Lub,

I'm thinking they probably sound similar too. :lol::lol:

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

Just how old do you have to be, to be an "advanced" senior resident?? Just want to know for when I get there :blink::ph34r: So I can understand my behavior with whatever amount of reasoning I have left :lol: Or maybe it depends on how many posts you have made (in which case Patteigh is over the top!)

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

You and me both. The getting life back part I understand; it's the agony I don't. Maybe it's the relief from agony??? :P But then they still seem to agonize, even when they's gone :o

Many of them are well into their nineties... . . . ....so I'll say 90... ....my mom, at 83, is often the youngster in the crowd.

Harriet, a resident that my mom considers a real friend, turned 105 last week. They threw a big party for her in the lounge. She told me that one of the main reasons she has lived so long and remained SO physically and mentally fit is - - no surprise - - her insistence on having humoUr in her life, every day. She has the Comedy Channel on her TV throughout the day, reads funny books and has always searched out witty, amusing characters to interact with. It is her mission; to laugh loud and long every single day. Isn't that something? :)

Here is a senior prank we here at C.com will appreciate.

J's class painted a toliet shiny gold. They installed it with a cement base in the courtyard by the senior lockers. The class speech yesterday had the words "poop" & "poopy" in it at least 6 times.

I saw a picture and it was truly a splendid throne. I am thinking gold toliets may become the style for Psillies everywhere.

All systems go at our house today :) Scaffolders here and have already got up to the point of peering in my bedroom :o and bathroom :blink: - gonna have to change some habits for the next week or so (no window coverings in bathroom), although they can't see the throne.:ph34r: Lead scaffolder is a BIG Maori fellow with braided dreadlocks tied in a high ponytail. He still has his jacket on so I can't check for tats, and I don't care about his thumbs - definitely not my type.

And tonight Rolf (he of the heavy Teutonic accent) arrives. Hub will have to wear his hearing aids or he will never understand him. Sounds like a very nice fellow, and he will be bedding down with us for the week while he saws apart and rebuilds our Tulikivi fireplace :D. I have stocked up on wurst and sauerkraut and am making German potato salad :lol: - have to keep him happy :)

All this courtesy of the Earthquake Commision for which we pay an additional $70 per year on our house insurance. They pay up to the first $100,000 damage (which we certainly don't have but many do). and up to $20,000 on contents. Bet they go bust on this quake which is estimated to cost $30 billion, but that includes all the infrastructure and the program doesn't cover commercial insurance.. Even Warren Buffet has been called in on his reinsurance :o

Glad things are getting fixed at last Shroom! .... although I have to say I HATE it when I have to have builders in the house.

I can never relax, dunno whether to let them get on... engage in conversation...or just to check their thumbs out regardless of type blink.gif

      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.
