Unless 8 of those hours are meditation and intertube water polo, you have lost your mind.

I have been searching for "coffee stirrers". You know the little straws or even better, the little sticks you stir a cup of coffee with? They only exist at Starbucks? Not at Costco, Walmart, a grocery store,Target, office supply store (they have cups and coffee makers) or Bed, Bath & Beyond. Guy at BB&B suggested i get the craft popsicle sticks.

We got them at our local Walmart. You could also try Sams?

Annual poop-in or hangin around some?

Wow Shadow, quite a courseload! Have you done 18+ credit sems before?

When I've overloaded, something inevitably gets less attn than it should. I ended up dropping one so I could get the most from the others.

HiYa SuZee. Good to see you here. I was just thinking of you! I came across the word ameliorate today in a book I'm reading. . . you're the only person I know who uses that word.

Love how tom managed to work in "poop-in" and "scat" into his post with just the mere presence of Suzelle. :lol:

Don't belong to Sam's. Just got back from trying the other Walmart & found some of the little straw kinds. They had 2 boxes. Must be a big demand for coffee stir sticks.

Just a thought, Kerrighnne--if you go with the wine, you won't need stir sticks B)

Don't office supply stores have these? I could swear they'd be at an OfficeDespot(sp?)-type store.

I thought that too, Pataughmn but K said she checked there.

Sometimes it's crazy that you can't find something that you know you've seen a million times. Recently, I searched everywhere I could think of to buy kitchen matches. Not the book kind, or the real long ones. Finally found some at the second Wal Mart I checked.

Hmmmmmm . . . <_< . . . <drumming fingers on the table>

It's after 5:00 . . . where the hell are you guys???

So(a)ring high among the clouds. Went down the back to the galley place where flight attendants hang out to get a bandaid for the piece of thumbnail I mostly pulled off on the seat hinge, and found a party going on :D Mostly bloody mary's though so got me a glass of whine. Why, oh why do they make you pull down the shades so peeps can't watch clouds so other peeps can watch those dumb carved up movies they show -- well, maybe it does keep the kids quiet :rolleyes: The back section of the plane was filled with a Koru (ANZ club members) Care group of disadvantaged kids and their carers who had spent two weeks in CA courtesy of the airline (flight attendants gave up their airmiles :) ), now there's an aaawww for ya!!!

Just voted! Line was long already. I showed up right about 6am as thier were opening and got out about 647am. Line was longer when I left then when I arrived.

We voted at the library on Oct.30 - yep, Nevada is a state with early voting. Full electronic machine experience without the lines :lol: and I had to return my books anyway.

I am predicting "to close to call" to night, and a long drawn out post election battle. Have been predicting that for months now. Time to test my prediction i guess. ;)

So much for that prediction :P

Shoulda met up for a post-election party/sleepover.

"We will drink until we have a president - and then we will drink to the president! (Because by then, none of us will really care who got elected....)"

Sounds like a dangerous precedent.....

Right.

I've had the comforter on the past 2 weeks. Our bedroom is over the garage--coldest room in the house even with the heat on.

Obvious solution is to heat the garage :P (or at least put some bats batts (thinking of Shadow Spook here) in the ceiling).

Esd that a genyouwhine psoozle return, or just a teaser??? Hi, Psoozle. Hang around, dangit, we need ya.

They are the only thing apart from one's finger with which to scoop out the cinammon/chocolate flavored foam from a capucchino (and a darned poor job they do of it, too ---finger would do much better job but a little gauche and a trifle embarrassing.

I was in the air at the time of which we are speaking. You know B) I wouldn't use forbidden electronics during flight, surely??? Moi??

It is as cold here right now as it was in Nevada :ph34r: No summer attire yet.

Clay finally got computers running on Airport Express wifi (slow as molasses, as if the board wasn't slow enough now) until the hoped-for real fix tomorrow. Housesitter says they all went out at once, but ISP says our router is pingable. Maybe it is old and tired - can only get it up every now and again.

      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.

      @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?
