Hi Patti! Nice to "see" you!

Did anyone else notice that the girl on the bike is the only one on the whole video that would fit right in, style-wise, in 2011? Bell bottoms were always a disaster on a bike!

Enjoyed watching Foxy and her 2 teenage fox kits in the backyards this morning. I know how she feels. They are big enough to want to go off on there own & do things but not quite ready to be completely self- sufficient.

I can't put this on facebook because my neighbors are on my friends list. One of them doesn't care, one is convinced the fox will eat the dogs & maybe the grand baby, one likes it but is friends with the neighbor who wants the fox dead as wildlife does not belong in the yards. Tried to explain that she eats the overabundance of rabbits and chipmunks.

Why do people buy the biggest yard in the neighborhood and:

Never sit on the deck?

Have only a mini dog that must be supervised at all times?

Let the bushes at the back become a jungle?

Then complain that there are foxes & possums & rabbits?

Thank you for my rant time. Carry-on with Psilly business.

Ahh, the imponderables of life!!

For the same reason people buy the biggest off-road vehicle they can find

Do not know how to drive it

Use it only to go grocery shopping

And complain about the price of gas :D

Hope the foxes keep on eating the bunnies! :)

Those are also the neighbors who cut down the apple tree in their yard, cut down the lilac bush in YOUR yard, and have no sense of psillyness.

On another note, I think I am going to take my aimless-not cleaning self kayaking. And not fall in. Maybe. Or perhaps I shall.

These ones with the big yard, don't cut things down & its frustrating to the rest of us that it hurts. 3 years of fighting the poison ivy they won't take care of that comes in others's yards. Told them how to. finally Hub went over the fence & took care of it. They have old trees with dead branches that are going to fall on other peoples yard. When thier 5 pound dog tries to do dog things, like chase a rabbit, they panic. They hate when thier dog wants to sniff other dogs. I loved the people who lived there years ago. Had 2 big dogs that tore up the yard. People would be out in the yard with them. Foxy wouldn't like the dogs tho.

Teeny dog would zip thru the fence when he was young and try to play with my dog at the time, a lab, pit, pointer mix. My son jumped in just in time as my dog was about to share his stick ( some would call a firewood log ) with the little one by dropping it on him.

Speaking of sons..........

(sorry I'm a little late for that conversation)

......my son was just cast as a zombie extra in a film called Christmas With the Dead. He heard it was being filmed two houses down from him and they needed zombies, so he rushed over. One day of zombie school and one night of filming.

Makes a mother proud.

*sniff*

Ah yes! A Zombie son! You can now tell everyone he is an actor in a real film! But, did he have to take a drug test for this job like J did?

Just saw your other post in the Meeting Room. So you are in Auckland. When she is in NZ, Mushroom is near ChristChurch. I think she is currently visiting the Northern Hemisphere. She likes our summer better than the NZ winter.

      One thing to keep in mind is that it's pretty safe to take a B-complex since B vitamins are water soluble. You just pee out any excess.

      Hi @hjayne19 It sounds as if your insomnia is closely linked to your anxiety. I had awful anxiety at diagnosis, and that feeling of doom that you describe. My other symptoms were racing thoughts, and a tangible sensation of a weight bearing down on my shoulders, even if I was feeling perfectly well and happy - it would just hit me. I then got a phobia...

      Hi @trents thanks so much for the insights this helps alot. These were my metrics at celiac diagnosis. In which my diet has since changed over the past 3 months Magnesium: 0.80 mmol/L Vitamin B12: 1021 Vitamin D (25-OH): 102.8 I would say I do get tired after eating more carbs and the only thing that really helps me fall asleep...

      Hi @cristiana   Thank you so much for your reply. This is so helpful. I definitely suffer from anxiety mostly related to health. Brain fog definelty doesn’t help this when it comes. I find my 4 am wake ups are potentially more food related if that’s a possibility (eating enough carbs with protein and fats) and if I eat a small snack before bed to hold throughout the night. I just haven’t been able to help the sudden increase in more days where I can’t fall asleep for hours - it’s those racing thoughts like you describe. I feel like a machine that’s running and can’t shut down.    I will try the epsom salt bath that’s a great suggestion. I think I’m probably working through some other food triggers that may be contributing as well with brain fog.    Anyways sorry to go off. It feels so reassuring finding this community and being able to chat with others. I was definitely feeling a bit crazy until I realized there are many others going through the same thing.

      Hi Jayne Great choice for a gluten-free cycling holiday, I know the island well. The words you need to look for are 'sin gluten' when you are out and about.   I think you will be amazed at how many packets and canned goods are clearly labelled 'sin gluten' in the supermarkets - many more than one sees here - often in quite large type.  There seems to be a thought in the UK that if you label something gluten free it will affect flavour etc and will put people off buying it!  However, in the case of Spain, it is almost as if the the Spanish see it as an endorsement of quality and flavour!  There is a supermarket called Mercadona and they label their produce very clearly. Paella should be gluten free so long as the chef use the right stock such as Knorr or a gluten-free homemade stock - you can check.  Most Mallorquins in catering speak English but if not, ask, "Contiene gluten?"  Tumbet is a wonderful dish if you like peppers, tomato, aubergines, garlic and olive oil!  A sort of variation on ratatouille.   Slow roast lamb shank should be safe, and there are endless fish dishes to choose from and salads.  Flan is made with eggs, sugar and caramel, and should be gluten-free.  Lots of gluten-free ice cream and sorbets, they should be clearly labelled. If you want specific restaurant recommendations, feel free to PM me. Cristiana

      Hi @hjayne19 It sounds as if your insomnia is closely linked to your anxiety.  I had awful anxiety at diagnosis, and that feeling of doom that you describe.   My other symptoms were racing thoughts, and a tangible sensation of a weight bearing down on my shoulders, even if I was feeling perfectly well and happy - it would just hit me.  I then got a phobia to make things worse, linked to the fact that I had was suffering hypnopompic hallucinations (brief hallucinations on waking).  That was weird but I later learned they aren't all that uncommon, especially with people who suffer from aura migraines.   In fact I felt so unwell that I didn't even recognise it as 'anxiety'.  I remember googling my various symptoms and it was only that that  made me realise I was suffering from anxiety, which was nothing like 'feeling a bit nervous before taking an exam' or , say, making a speech.  This was a whole new ball game. As I came off gluten and healed, the anxiety started to get less and less.  It is not uncommon for coeliacs to have anxiety on diagnosis, so I hope that is reassuring to you.   And deficiencies can make it worse, or cause it, so are definitely worth investigating in further depth if you can.   There is certainly a big difference between 'normal' levels and 'optimum', as @trents says, and this excerpt from a British website and explains how with B12,, for example,  a normal level in one person can represent a deficiency in another: In the UK, normal B12 levels vary slightly by lab but generally, above 200 ng/L is considered sufficient, 100-145 ng/L indicates possible deficiency, and below 100 ng/L suggests likely deficiency, though levels between 146-200 ng/L may still warrant treatment if symptoms are present, as per North Bristol NHS Trust and NICE guidelines In fact, I understand levels are set much higher in other countries, such as Japan.  When I started to supplement B12 with high dose sublinguals I began to feel better, even though at diagnosis my levels were considered 'low normal'.    I too had a lot of muscle twitching which was likely due to deficiencies, but of course if someone has a lot of adrenaline in their system it will only make twitching worse.  I remember reading on this forum one should take magnesium tablets, and it did really help.  As a sportsperson you might like to try throwing a good handful of Epsom salts into a lukewarm bath, and have a soak for 20 mins, as it can be absorbed through the skin.  But be careful as you leave the bath, it can make you woozy! Lastly, to address the anxiety,  I found Dr Steve Llardi's book, albeit on Depression, incredibly helpful.  The Depression Cure: The Six Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs.    Dr Llardi outlines a step-by-step plan for recovery from depression, which focuses on six key lifestyle elements that have largely disappeared in healthy doses from modern life:  physical exercise,  omega-3 fatty acids,  natural sunlight exposure,  restorative sleep,  social connectedness, and meaningful, engaging activity.    The other book (and there is a website) which helped me understand anxiety and recover is Paul David's, At Last a Life, written by a one-time sufferer.  I live in the UK and if I could award a knighthood to anyone in this country, it would be to Paul.  I am so grateful that these books crossed my path.   Anyway, sorry for the length of this post.  I hope something might be of help.
