Stymphony, I could like it. Bob's out-- bob is the (invisible) frisbee player who never seems to catch or return it. We think he has issues (shhhh....).

my garden was still overly damp to do more than sneak and handful of spinach and a few peas... sigh.

My gin and tonic is delish tho.

My son was trying to play frisbee at the senior picnic. He said he had never seen a more pathetic group of frisbee players. We didn't realize that Bob & his cousins - Rob, Robbie, Bobby & Bobbie were playing. That explains alot.

Do Bob & his cousins play other sports, too?

The only team/group/projectile-based* sport that Bob hasn't joined me has been croquet. Not sure why he doesn't like it...

*we avoid discussing ball sports, as it seems in induce snickers even in those who are old enough to simply twitch their eye brows appropriately at the pun.

I believe Bob has played a few times on my boys lacrosse teams.

J's summer job report:

He gets a desk & a computer in a room with others in "short" cubicles (you can see over the top if you are tallish).

He has learned that:

-When the boss leaves, a ball is tossed around the office

- Call in sick if the weather is nice

- If you use a germaphobe's computer, expect him to spend 15 minutes cleaning the keyboard, desk, area around the desk and then 10 minutes of handwashing

- 18 year olds hired to do thier jobs must be geninuses

Great.... :blink:

I used to work next to a germiphobe (sort of?) who worked from home some days. She quite thoroughly cleaned her desk area the day after she had worked from home. But she used hand sanitizer, not actual hand washing.

We call it "working from home" although, I will admit, there are some days when working from home also means working 12 hour days and not getting around to showering, as one was too busy working. Or working on official snow days... or holidays... or when one is actually sick.

Hmm... I could use a few genius underlings. But of the sort who are very focused... is that a cotnradiction in terms?

Yeah! right! He was watching re- runs of The Office and saying, " Yeah! That happens!". " this is just like my office"

Apparently, there are men in the office who can make an entire sentence out of cuss words. He finds this hysterical.

He is very focussed if the job deals with machinery or physics or sports or food. My other is extremely focussed if the job requires animal care, making fires, cooking over a fire, video games, canoeing, etc

I'm so happy for J. Tony is working a graveyard shift washing dishes. We didn't lean on him to get a job before last summer and we got here too late for him to find one Now he's facing the cruel reality of most first jobs..

BTW, he bought the three of us Bare Naked Ladies tickets as a combination of a mother's and father's day present.

Oh, that's phab, Low!! They put on a GREEEEEEAAAT show - - so much fun!

DD's part-time job at Wallyworld sounds not a whole lot better than washing dishes, but at least she has the constant flow of P.O.W's (People of Walmart) lined up at her cash to keep her visually entertained.

Many of them could climb up on a stage and be just as entertaining as The Bare Naked Ladies.... . . .

No Mohawk Guy yet... . . .. but remember, it is now thong season, and the Thong POWs are surfacing. I've told her to try to take pics while she's on break.

Actually, I'd like to know where the bulk of the POW pics that are circulated around in emails are taken. . . ...I don't think we have enough of the splendor here in Ottawa to be contributing to the mailouts, for Sophie says that there isn't much to photograph.

...Just individuals with eighty packages of Christie's Double Chunk Cookies stuffed into their carts. . ..... :blink:. . .... well, hey, they were on sale last week. .. . ... .

I believe that many of the POW pics are taken at the Walmarts in Branson & Osage beach, Mo. This is typical beach/ summer clothing styles for the Ozark vacation land.

Shrooomie,

Are you staying in ICV, NV again?

If Shroomie goes to the Walmart on the Calif side, the slippers are over dressing. Barefoot is the style.

No, we have decamped from ICV because my COPD could no longer handle the altitude - we now have a Wallyworld only a couple of miles away :rolleyes::rolleyes: but haven't unpacked my thongs or shorts, need my flip-flops because the sidewalks are too durned hot, but I need to get my tats touched up before I am ready for full POW exposure. Give me a chance to put the whole act together and I will try to grace the next POW collection.

      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?
