Cold and drizzly here. I want to see how much I can trim my budget to save for school, and prepare to live without an income. I usually get all excited about things, and then drop them so striking while the iron's hot.

I have my glasses on. I usually read under them. I looked at this post and the bottom glasses frame was over the "save for school" and I read it as "save for alcohol". :huh:

Either is a worthy cause!

Happy Thanksgiving Canadian Folk!

I might be getting an electric bike. :)

One of the guys on the 6:20 boat is a bicycle commuter so I asked if he had an opinion on electric bikes. He said 'My wife might make you a deal on hers", so they brought it over today for me to try for a while to see if I like it. :)

I want to use it to commute to the boat, since it's only four miles. Getting there is fine, but coming home is all uphill. A bike would be so much nicer than the bus.

Electric bike - my, how sensible!! I might even ride a bike if I had one of those :P

Happy Thanksgiving to fellow commonwealth members - we don't do that, but we do do mid-winter Christmas just for the heckofit (I,of course, am never here).

We are awaiting summer with subtle promises everywhere, cherry blossom and daffs in the garden, but the wind today says, "Wait just a minute there!" Brrr. :lol:

Hellos dear psillies,

This will be a quick one (can't sit at the computer too long). I believe that keeping positive and surrounding myself with loving friends (even if it's via the internet) helps keep me strong.

I'm posting this on the psilly thread because other than being thankful to my doctors I still find it funny. I got a prescription for medical marijuana. I'm looking forward to getting my card and returning to the 60's except it will be legal this time biggrin.gif. At least something good is coming out of this. I was taking up to 8 percocet a day. I rather make magic brownies. Now I have to wait for my card and then find a compassion center. Right now RI has only licensed three. It was supposed to be 15 but the governor wouldn't allow it. I will share with Clark. Will keep you updated on this journey (I try to visualize what the compassion center looks like). Do any of you watch Roseane's Nuts? She has an episode called Weed is Whack and she goes to a center in California to procure it. I'll keep you all posted on my new journey.

I hope you're all doing well. I've been reading the thread and emails so I think I'm caught up on almost everything. Rachelle - you are a GREAT mother!

Love & misses to all, Love, Loey

Why, yes... .. ....in fact, I just sent an email out to everyone, musing about how we would enjoy it around here if you, Jyessss, could manage to get a script for the stuff.. ..... . . :P

Actually, I imagine that magic muffin typing would not be nearly as exciting nor entertaining as drunken typing. \It'd go something like this:

Well.... . . .......heyyyyyyyyyy.... . . ...

Ya...heyyyy.. .. ......

First ride to the ferry went fine. Only glitch was parking. The bike barn has 12 ride-up spots, and the people before me had taken all the lower hooks. I tried and tried, but cold not lift that 50 pound bike one handed over my head while guiding the front wheel into the hook. Found some racks down stairs which only required hauling the 50 pound bike up stairs. :blink: :blink: Anyway. Managed to get all the way home despite living at the top of a hill.

We'll see how the thighs feel tomorrow.

I bought a Kindle!

One of the new $80 ones.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with it. :ph34r: :ph34r:

This sounds exciting!!....but am wary.

Do I sound really old fashioned when I say I love the feel & smell of a proper book blink.gif

Do tell, what's an electric bike?? ...pretty sure you could manage a 4 mile commute on your own steam Jess, on a push bike?? (banging the drum - am obsessed with riding my bike where I can. Apologies - am a bike bore wink.gif)

I bought an Ipad and so far all I have figured out to do with it is play Majjong :o I am supposed to be able to operate all AV equipment in the house with it - I guess they have to do something to it first :blink:

No no Shrooms!, I pretty sure iPads are solely for playing 'Angry Birds' .

Ah ha!...that was our weather in blighty last weekend (still sporty the tan lines)

Finally - the upside of global warming!! rolleyes.gif

Hope ye Canucks gave thanks and was happy about it!

Anyhoo - who's up for tea and 'cake' round Loey's later?? wink.gifwink.gif

I also prefer the paper version of books, but I became extremely covetous when I was in Spain and saw a family wandering the cathedral with all their guide books in that one skinny piece of plastic. It's also quite nice for throwing in the backpack for the commute. Pages don't get squooshed, if you finish one book you have another right there, and more and more textbooks are available electronically. No angry birds, though.

Although 'tis only 4 miles to the ferry, it is uphill all the way home, with the last 1 1/4 miles being a slowdown hill for all but the most intense bikers. Even with the power assist I was working hard to get up that thing. I figured I'd work my way up to getting a real bike by using this to build my thighs (as if my thighs need to be any bulkier).

Jyesss the Amazon, powering up Sisyphean mountains!! 'Tis fantastic.. . . ...great quad work, but make SURE to stretch 'em afterward! B)

Must say, I as well have deep, sentimental love for real-page-turning. .. ..ripped and smooshed paperbacks and texts in suitcases.. . .. ...LOOOOOVE that feel of the cover of a new paperback as I open it for the first time, feeling it yield when I push it back, the spine bending.....yup. Tough to make a li'l plastic screen open up.. . . ....and it ain't got no spine.. . ...

When will I move ahead with the times?? :rolleyes:

Anyhoo - who's up for tea and 'cake' round Loey's later?? wink.gifwink.gif

I'll bring extra gluten-free munchies!!

That's a great price! Where else could we fly for $99 that would be more fun?

Wait a minute.......am I going to get a call to pick up a package at the Alaska airlines counter? Are you sending Max?

      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,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

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.
