Will she be wearing that styling dress?

Sorry to disappoint you but I left that dress to it's own devices :D

Get a thumb report. B)

Does she have her dress that matches the drapes all pressed and ready to doff?

My thumb or Poeter's thumb

the drapes in the kitchen are an orange coloUr. I don't think I have anything in my wardrobe that matches them. I will try and wear something that will clash nicely with them though.

How true Patti. I'm mostly wear blues and purples although not always together. Our wallpaper in the kitchen is old as well. It's a floral yellow print. What can i say but Poeter and I aren't really into decorating :D

You try wearing a dress when unloading the truck! :rolleyes:

So, Jacquie has a "hot" date with Tony the appliance technician in the morning. I'll be minding the store. ;)

It's a good choice. A hot date with a baker wouldn't get YOU anything.

And Tony has been and gone.

I miss read the 'thumb' comment yesterday :D I take a guess and say it's about 2 1/2 inches.

And we're waiting to see if we can get a thermostat for the stove. Apparently they haven't made Harvest Gold in a 'few' years :rolleyes:

The plot on how old the stove is got a little more interesting. The vent area of the stove is 'Avocado Green'. What were the original owners of the house thinking :rolleyes:

and did you know you can now get some appliances in 'Red' :eek:

Maybe they liked both and couldn't make up their minds? :P

The former owner told us about him--evidently he was so comfortable with them, he would eat out of their hands. With me, he's more comfortable with the glass door in between us while he eats.

We have inherited neighbors' scaredy cat - they couldn't find her when they moved to Oz after the 2nd quake. She has even been so bold as to (once) let us touch her head, but usually lurks in the bushes waiting for food at same time each night (just before darkness).

Jeeze, Simon takes a run at me each morning and bounces off my ankle to tell me I'd better feed him 'NOW'!!!!!! He does have quite the shag-a-dellic hair-do and I wonder how well he can see with all that hair in his eyes. Maybe I should put it in a ponytail and see if that helps :lol:

* snort * ColoUr references of 1970's appliances......I very vaguely recall our house having a great deal of orange throughout my early childhood. I particularly remember the big avacado phone sitting on the li'l special phone table in the hallway.. .. . ..... :lol:

How on earth did she ever manage to organize a perfectly matching dress to the wallpaper??

:lol::lol::lol:

The first house Jesse and I bought when we were 23 had the avocado sink, toilet and bath with the pink tiles all around. We decorated around it to make it work, ended up kinda cute. I thought it might be a sore spot when we were trying to sell, but the house sold in 5 days, so I guess it wasn't that bad! :P

Might not be wallpaper . . . might be a curtain . . . which makes me think of Carol Burnett wearing the drapes in the Gone with the Wind parady.

Love, Love, Love this skit!!!! One of the funniest ever!!

Sadness today...not to dwell as this is The Funny pages but my old cat Lucy died today.

She was 15 yrs & frail so not completely unexpected. She was a miserable old cat but I shall miss her!! wub.gif

Jestgar Rising Star

It's my goal to be a miserable old cat when I go, so I totally empathise with her. :( bye Luce.

kareng Grand Master

So sad for Lucy!

I have many days I feel like a miserable old cat, myself!

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    
    • Theresa2407
      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
