It has been unusually mild here as well. Very little snow, and what we have had did not last a day on the ground. Folks have reported seeing robins. Our tulips are coming up. It is still THREE WEEKS until spring. :huh:

Yup, Ottawa, too... . . . ...our big national winter festival, Winterlude, that features all kinds of concerts, ice sculptures and sporting events along the Rideau Canal (longest skating rink in the world!) was jeopardized due to mild weather and rain throughout the two weeks...

What in hell? :huh:

I'll take it, though....above zero throughout January and February is good for me....

I got snowed on yesterday morning on the way to the boat. It's normally in the 50's by now.

70 F yesterday. Snow that didn't stick this a.m. Beautiful & sunny now.

Robot not doing well. Lots of the kids, including M, are having a good time dancing and playing some sort of tag games. Right now M is trying to trade a silver cowboy hat for a girl from another team's pink hat.

Weather got pretty intense here. Funnel clouds spotted. Of course the timing was perfect . . . tornado sirens went off about 10 minutes before the elementary school was suppose to get out. (Better than 5 minutes after when the kids would have already been on the buses.) They held all the kids until the all-clear was given. Skeeter was about 50 minutes late getting home. All-clear was given before the Middle School was suppose to get out, but they use the same buses/drivers as the Elementary School (after all of the E-school kids are delivered home). So Smackl was about 45 minutes late getting home as well. My friend was volunteering at the Middle School when the bad weather hit, she said they had the kids in "safety position" . . . on the floor in the halls (no windows),crouched down, heads down and covered with their arms.

Sunshine and blue skies now . . . suppose to get bad again later.

Scary about those tornadoes. I can't imagine being at home and hearing sirens while your kids are at school! :o I'm glad they're all home.

In my news, I've lost half a cabbage somewhere in my house. Hoping it turns ups sooner, rather than later.

Yes, Jyaghnutt! And Jyessss, you too!! A lost cabbage in one's house. . ....:unsure:.. ..somehow this sounds, as well, terrifying.....

But wait....

It was a HALF a cabbage... . . ....right?

:huh:

Um, weird enough to lose an ENTIRE cabbage in one's home...... .. ..but I just can't get my mind around losing HALF a cabbage.

How does this happen??. . . .. :unsure:.. . . ... . .:huh: ...

Maybe it went looking for the other half so it could be whole again :o I have two half cabbages in my refrigerator - they seem to like to be reunited :blink:

Wow......I thought most of the bad weather was south of us. You are north of me. No sirens here. Nasty hail, rain, winds.....school kids delayed only a few minutes just to make sure all was safe.

We just got the 'scare' . . . the poor souls in Southern Indiana got the real thing. :(

It will be where you've already looked a couple of times . . . the fourth or fifth time you look, there it will be and you'll say to yourself "Damn, I checked in the linen closet several times already!!! Why didn't I see it?"

Also, check the freezer. I had a roommate in college that could not find the head of lettuce that she bought. Eventually found it in the freezer but not until it was ruined . . . at least it wasn't smelly.

mushroom Proficient

It will be in the last place you look, Jess :rolleyes:

By the way, I want to apologize for that inappropriate 'crack' I made about tornadoes :( , most abjectly. Pretty scary things, and I hope all psillies are psafe. They seem to come just like earthquakes, out of nowhere :o -- yours from above, ours from below :blink:

curlyfries Contributor

Jess, check the (gluten-free)flour canister! I once found my missing keys there....glutenous at that time, though. (OK, it's complicated, but it was a result of lack of sleep, and perhaps a gluten-fogged brain)

I had to go back and find what I was supposed to be offended by....by what I was supposed to be offended.....what should've made me mad.

No harm done, shroomie. We psillies don't offend easily.

I think we might have found it! There's a strange smell coming from the back of the Robotics bus!

Wait! That's just a couple of Freshmen! :D

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.
    • knitty kitty
      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  
    • knitty kitty
      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse.  Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain.  Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders? A cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12442269/   Nutritional Strategies for Chronic Craniofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: Current Clinical and Preclinical Insights https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11397166/   Serum nutrient deficiencies in the patient with complex temporomandibular joint problems https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2446412/

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
