M-mm....she's libel to find more on her doorstep than just a kitty :o;):lol:

:lol: one can hope.........

SILLIES - I must go shopping now. Not happy. Need some new jeans. :angry: Hideous waste of time as - I am of the belief that if you TRY hard enough, you can find a WAY MORE PHABULOUS pair than just an average or unflattering pair, which requires trying on about 500 pairs. <_< So, it's at least an hour-long event at Target (or Old Navy, but Target's closer) when this happens, with DOZENS of trips to the dressing room :angry: unless I get lucky and discover said jeans right in the beginning and then......you just know. ;)

Okay and..........can I name this cat PEANUT? :lol: He is just such a little Peanut. And it's kind of fun to say and.....it makes me larph, like he does. He is not a serious gentleman, like a Winston, he's a........well, he's a li'l peanut. :lol:

Opinions, please. :)

The rooms part means that you need to take a closer look at your life.......ther are wonderful aspects to it that you have not yet discovered. The wildcats signify that you are afraid that change will disrupt the comfy and predictable life you and Weezie have. ;)

.........you do realize I'm just pulling this out of me arse.......right? :lol::lol::lol:

:o

:lol: :lol: :lol: yes, but, it always sounds SOOOOOOO believable and credible. Queen Leesargh, the Wackl Dream Analyzer. I swear any shrink would say it means the same thing as you do. :lol:

I'm glad I did it--I've already found a salon in Houston that does it. The cool thing is that the stylist said it should last for about 12 weeks....maybe a bit less.

Love the hair Patti. Really sounds easy. Only Patti would find a salon before she hits town. now this is a lady who has her priorities straight. ;)

Well, I'm out of forks. I guess this means I need to do dishes......or.....only eat things that require a spoon :rolleyes: Maybe I'll have a bowl of ice cream and ponder my options ;)

love your way of thinking Jess........

You guys, i can't keep up.

Hi to the rest of you all

Is Bev in FL?

Susie .........kitty needs a name girl friend.

the sun is shinning today :lol:

I went out to breakfast with some old friends of 30 years...........gosh, it was nice to get out and go to a safe place that 'takes good care of me'

hope you all have a great weekend.

We know where Patti is hanging.........Starbucks and the car...........avoiding the 'house peekers'

good luck on a fast sell Patti.

For example, I am sittin' at the computer wif my bowl of yogurt and he is just STALKING and STALKING me....I keep swatting him :lol: off the desk, as he comes back again and AGAIN, in hopeful approach.....this happens constantly.

I think they all have their little quirks--but when they learn a trick like that, they tend to do it over and over. Allo has a thing for bare feet--ever since he's a kitten. To this day, if I walk in bare feet, he attacks my foot. It's like he's hard-wired to do that :lol:

You've got my prayers!!! How painful to see any small baby/child sick or in pain and they can't even communicate about it. Keep us posted on his progress, please.

Hi Judy I know how you feel :lol:

Peanut!!!! I love that name, it's a common nickname I use with me nieces.....peanuts are irresistably cute, and not always on their best behavior, the little peanuts!!....very fitting I think!! Angus will just have to be the middle name :lol:

Good luck with your jean shopping Sooze, I hate that more than anything. Would rather gouge my eyes out with plastic utensils I think.....forks or spoons, what ever is available Jess :lol:

Patti!!! Love your av!!! Your hair look fabulous :D I am rather intrigued by this Diva haircut method and will be checking into it stat...also the products they recommended for you ;)

Theresa....if personal pictures were required that would make me a mountain :lol::lol: I agree with Patti though, it is kind of nice to put a face to the name, but certainly not a rule.

Go Sophie!!!! Go Wildcats!!! Um, is her season all year round?!?! Seems like the entire calendar year she has a big game or tourney :lol:

Janet, prayers for your friend's baby.

Gah! Forgot a bunch of other stuff!

Janet, I'm thinking of your friend and her dear baby. .. . . . ..

Sooooozie.....Peanut is an adorable name, and it does comes trippingly off the tongue. Takes a certain character, though, to pull of a name like that, and it sounds like you think he's a peanut. . . . . . ....... :)

:lol: It DOES come trippingly off the tongue, and so far, it is seeming to fit.....alas, we've had him FOUR WEEKS and with 3 or 4 different names :blink: But Peanut seems right, I mean, Jools is right in her description of hte little PEANUTS!!!!!!!!!! full of trouble, this one, but oh so cute.....really doesn't take himself too seriously, like one of my mom's (dead) cats, Robert (Bobby) - - quite a brilliant gentleman - my mom always thought Bobby was my dad, who had come to life in the form of her cat :lol:

So I have a Peanut and a Weezle......such dignified pets :lol:

Jan-knit - :( so sorry about your friend's wee babe......sending a prayer up for him.

oh - missing photos - I think Bun-knee is thinking of Theresa's phleeting photo???? dunno.....

The jeans-shopping was really not too bad! Maybe 25 minutes total. Very efficient. The true test, however, comes in one's own mirror at home. <_<

and SILLIES - help me - I bought a can of SMOKED HERRINGS todya at TJ Maxx. :blink::huh: what in hell do I do with those.......does ANYone eat them? anyone like them?

:huh:

      @glucel, There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia. Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen. In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular...

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are right that the study’s main conclusion was cautious: the researchers found that inherited antibody-gene variants significantly shape the naïve B-cell receptor repertoire, including usage of some gene segments involved in celiac-related antibody responses, but they did not find strong evidence that polymorphisms in...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae. I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health). I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides. I prefer the supplements. I feel better and my bones feel stronger. References...

      iron digestibility

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @glucel,  There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia.  Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen.  In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular events.  Curiously, thiamine deficiency is correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness and oversleeping.   I found a combination of Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, magnesium, and L-theanine works very well for inducing sleep.  Sometimes, I add Passion Flower Extract and/or Sweet Melissa.  There's no side effects the next morning with Passion Flower, it just induces sleepiness.  Sweet Melissa is groovy, and has anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system.   I prefer to take 250 mg Benfotiamine and 100 mg Thiamine TTFD in the mornings and another dose of Benfotiamine at lunch.  I try not to take any thiamine after four p.m. because it keeps my brain so energized and wanting to think... Oh, I do take a combination of another form of thiamine (sulbutiamine), Pyridoxine and Cobalamine for a pain reliever sometimes, but I can sleep after taking that.  But thiamine does help regulate circadian rhythm.   Make sure you're getting Omega Three fats! They'll help you satisfy that late night carb craving with fewer carbs.  Flaxseed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil.  Nuts and nut butters, like walnuts and cashews, are good, too, if you can tolerate them.    Try taking the 100mg thiamine HCl before your aerobics and see if there's a difference.  Sweet dreams!

So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      Coeliac And Cardio Vascular Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
