Brassiere, you hold the ones I love so dear! baritone voice

I was feeling (yes "feeling") bit left out of this.

So I went walkabout here on Sesame Street without finding a lingerie shop. I went diving through the trash in my garbage can, but the only cups I found were empty ones from some place called "Starbucks." Does an "F cup" contain Frappuccino? Maybe a "G cup" has Gelato?

To understand all of this, I will need pictures, as GF suggested.

Ha Ha, could be. I have an old large format plate camera. Don't use it much but they are really nice by comparison to modern ones. Wood and brass just have a nice look together.

Happy Mom's day to all you Moms!!

Went on a hike yesterday that was supposed to be just a walk in the woods, but there was still snow - and ice. Everyone fell at least once, including me, and I smacked my elbow and can't really use my arm. The Pirate had to make dinner last night. T'was beautiful though.

Hey! You can get one of them there ice bras and use it like a sling for your elbow!

On a totally unrelated note, does anyone ever get the irrational fear that the little squiggly red line that lives under anything the autocorrect doesn't like will somehow be translated to your post against your will? .......

My favorite is the auto-correct, because certainly I couldn't have a friend named 'Marijane', I must have meant 'Marijuana".

Yesterday I potted a bunch of tomato plants from the store. Many were twins or triplets so I divided them all up. Now I (hopefully) have 6 cherry tomato plants and 7 early girls. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon with a broom and a bottle of cider keeping the chickens from eating the tomato plants. :blink:

Are you suggesting that I can't be trusted with a broom after a few drinks? That mayhap I'll tie a long black coat around my neck like a cape and run up and down the streets astride my broom cackling??

Not a'tall, just figured what with all the cackling and broom riding then your poor defenseless tomato plants would be all by theirselves with the horde of chickens closing in!!!

Chicken salad, toasted chicken, fried chicken, chicken soup, stuffed chicken breasts....

KIDDING.

You're going to need a lot of cider (and a few brooms) or some chicken wire for a fence,

Either good fencing, or at some point the neighbors will set up lawn chairs facing my house and spend their afternoons with a beverage watching me.

I am enjoying the thought of you, the tomato plants, & the chickens! You got an extra cider? Cooper & I will give you a break.

The chickens would probably terrify the poor dog. :ph34r:

What in hell. .. ...can you not TRAIN chickens? Place them in the neutral, relaxed position, slowly step back a few feet, put up your hand, palm facing them, and in your stern, command voice, loudly say, "stay". You could gradually get them to perform a "long stay", and then they could be out near the tomato plants for extended periods with no worries.

Then you could train them to "come".... . . .."heel".... .. ..."roll over".....

"Shake a paw claw".. . . ....

I wonder if they would be easier to train than cats.

We have just the one at home at the moment. She is trained to respond to the command "In!" to go back into the house from the deck. Oliver would too, when he was still with us.

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      @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/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
