What a little champion!! Hope he learns to do it when the sun comes up (and NOT before) :P Of course, the hours you keep that probably doesn't make much difference :rolleyes:

Hey Psilies! Mulberry IS one adorable chicken.

I'm just stopping by quickly as I'm in the midst of preparing for my move next week. Just needed to blow off some steam! What is it with utility companies trying to up the bills when you move? All I want to do is transfer everything to the new address without a rate increase. I understand there may be disconenct or connection fees but I'm moving within the same city. My monthly rate should stay the same. My internet company rep pissed me off when they said the rates for the same service would be going up by $10 a month for my new location. I happen to live in an area that has more than one internet company and I knew the competition was offering a lower rate so I told them I would be going with the other company then and to cancel! Argh!! I'm still so mad! I was really hoping that when I said I wanted to cancel they would offer me a better rate (they are offering a lower rate for people signing up online right now and I even pointed that out) or let me keep my same rate. That has always happened in the past when I threaten to cancel a service. But she just said, "sorry to see you go" and gave me a cancelation number. Now I'm going to have to either sign up with the other company or re-sign up online with my same company at the new address to get the discounted rate. Why do they have to make everything so complicated? Ugh, ugh, ugh. Gotta go try to get a hold of the water company for the new place next. I sat on hold with the "we are experiencing a high volume of calls, your call will be answered in the order it was recieved...blah...blah..blah" message for about 30 minutes and then gave up and decided to try later. Wish I could just do the water online but I can't find anyway to do that on the website.

So if y'all don't hear from me for a while It's probably because we don't have internet at the new place and I'm too busy hauling water from the river and boiling it for drinking. :lol:

So my mom is in the hospital. She'll be fine. She had alot of fluid retention in her legs. She probably waited too long to tell the doc. This is a different hospital then she was in before. She is supposed to be on a low fat low sodium diet. In the previous hospital that would have meant they wouldn't give her a pack of salt. When I called to order her dinner, they told me she couldn't have some things because of her diet. All Hell will break loose when she realizes she can't have a hamburger for lunch tomorrow!

:ph34r:

Sorry to hear your mom was in the hospital! I hope you were able to smuggle a burger into her to prevent hell from breaking loose. If not, maybe that's why I'm having such trouble with the utility companies? :lol:

She was actually happy with the lunch after all. She had either salmon or tilapia and it was good!

Perhaps you can send smoke signals? Is there a Celiac forum using smoke signals?

You'll have to get a grill for smoke signals!

Wow! Maybe I just need your mom to call my utility companies for me and threaten to break hell loose on them. :lol: Glad it went well and hope she's feeling better now. I think lighting fires for a smoke signal may be against the HOA rules at the new place. :ph34r: Would also be hard for you to see since we are getting lots of smoke here already from the wild fires in North Carolina. :blink: Maybe I should invest in carrier pigeons or something?

Oh, excellent idea! Does Mulberry fly? My handwriting IS like chickscratch so if she's not up to flying I can just mail my posts for her to peck out on the computer. :lol:

We've seen Abe, Ben, Thomas J., JFK and Jackie, Holocaust survivors, snipers on Obama's roof......

Youse Yanks really know how to put together a national capitol. 'Tis magnificent: regal, clean, welcoming, bustling.......it is important for all to see this city, methinks. :)

Now everyone must come north and check out Canada's city of government........Tag! You're all it!

I wish we could have organized a Psilly Psummit........:(.....next time, and when I'm a little further south.....or west?... . . . ...

I've been there! I liked it, mostly because my northern relatives fed me junk food, but that was also where I learned to not take my mother to a museum and expect her to leave a room without reading aaalllll the words. Second grade, so it's been a while.

And that is an adorable chicken, for the nth time.

First rainy day with the wee chickies in their new pen. Those adorable feathered feet turn into little balls of mud. :o:lol:

Sweetie-pie is on vacation and I won't be seeing him for three weeks (the longest time ever not seeing each other!).

I was thinking this was a good thing because he's not the most expressive guy around, and if he really wasn't thrilled with me, this would give him a chance to figure it out. He just called to say how much fun he wasn't having and how much better everything would be if I were there.... :) Guess it's all ok... :)

Forgot to tell ya'll this : On the rare occasion where we find ourselves at a restaurant for a family dinner, I now always order my chicken filet as "my usual civckeb and rice".

I now have the kids referring to chickens as civckebs, as well. :lol:

I believe it is giving both Sophie and Jack some real street cred.

At the rate of posting on this thread, I am settling in for a good long reign. I am thinking about taxing the peasants.

Hey....I got a kid going to an out- of -state college! Subjects buying fancy chickens and vacations on foreign countries!

Hey all . . . I'm back from North Carolina . . . what happened? Did all hell break loose because apparently it's hotter 'n hell here and no rain. Two trees that were transferred last fall died while we were gone. OK, they were in the process of dying when we left but I couldn't believe how quick they completely browned in the last 9 days. Problee gonna have to do sumptin 'bout that.

We got home about 6 (after driving 9.5 hours) . . . then went to the 7:10 showing of Harry Potter.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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/
