So, while we are all basking in unseasonably warm weather, it is hard to realize that there are less than four days remaining until the start of this year's Open Original Shared Link

For those of you who weren't here last year, one of us has a personal connection to Open Original Shared Link

Two days ago, our dryer would not drain....it was half-full of water until DH banged around down there for a hour or so, and then it finally emptied. I rolled over 4500 posts yesterday......And this morning, our dishwasher is not draining. :huh:

:lol:

DH banged around in the kitchen this am, but it still sits with dirty water in the bottom.

So...Ehm....what it Suk-a-toe-ah? Never heard of it....and what does it have to do with trig? Inkwiring Minds Whant to Noe :D

Gaaaaaahhhhh.. . . . ...My grade ten mathS teacher, a huge woman with short, carrot-orange curly hair, enormous black-framed glasses (is it any surprise that I can still picture her perfectly?) excitedly told us the official anacronym for remembering the trig formula. Hilarious, as I remember the anacronym, but not what in hell

the formula was used to compute. . . ... :lol::lol: Chief SOHCAHTOA - - somefin' about sines, cosines, hypotenuses.....crap. . ...... give me a moment.. . .. ...

Ahhhh! Here!

SOHCAHTOA

A way of remembering how to compute the Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link of an Open Original Shared Link.

SOH stands for Sine equals Opposite over Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link.

CAH stands for Cosine equals Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link over Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link.

TOA stands for Tangent equals Opposite over Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link.

s126.gif

.. . . ....'Tis a nightmare. . . .....who in HELL uses this formula??????

Perhaps I can use it to fix my dishwasher.

I tried to get me own sub first and found out that there are (at least) three of us out today out of a total of 10 . . . ok, should I do a little mathS here and convert that into a fraction?? percentages?? . . . Not too hard. I can even do this one without a calculator and whilst running a fever.

Hey! Jahgnit. . . ...methinks if you assembled all of the possible supply teachers into a triangular formation in the staff room, you could employ the infinitely useful SOHCAHTOA formula, here. . . . . .....

:lol:

YAYYY!!! SO excited. . .. ..... ....

GOOOOOOOO MICHELLE!!!

I believe the starting pistol is 2 pm this Saturday. This year they start from Whitehorse. . . ...

Hmmmmm......Devil Child would indeed be hitting the east coast first. .. . .....

Can he fix dishwashers, then?

GJiannet....get better sooonn! :(

Todays phunnies; (it's a special day...you get two :D )

It's winter in New York and the gentle breezes blow,

Thirty freaking miles an hour at twenty-five below..

Oh, how I love New York when the snow's up to your butt,

You take a breath of winter and your nose gets frozen shut!!

Yes, the weather here is wonderful so I guess I'll hang around,

I could never leave New York because I'm frozen to the ground!

Em :wub:

We're home :D It really was a lovely time--lots of laffs and lots of wine :P Gawd, the only time I teared up was wif me dad--but they'll be out to visit, probably the day after we get a house. :rolleyes::lol:

Yesterday was spent at the hospital, though.......Mark's 91 year old aunt was having trouble breathing so his 89 and 1/2 year old mom called us at me mom's fer help. We picked up the both of them and met her doctor at the hospital. Long(very long) story short, he ended up switching her meds and sending her home--luckily it was (only)bronchitis, reaction to too many meds-- and probably a bit of anxiety.

It was quite something when we stopped at Wegman's for her prescriptions. :huh: Suddenly, she had more energy and was breathing fine, albeit wif a cough, so Mark went wif his mom to pick up a few things and I stayed wif Aunt Clara. There we were, picking things off the shelves for them, reading them the prices, bagging up minute amounts of produce ......all the while moving at a snail's pace.

We loaded everything up and took her back to the retirement home--which was beautiphul, by the way--and kept her company until her dinner was delivered and one of her "neighbor ladies" came by. It wasn't the afternoon we had planned, but it was nice to be able to help for once and so nice to spend time with a remarkable lady.

I have not begun to catch up, so I'm jumping in :D What did I miss? :unsure:

Did you take that pic of the humming bird??? I do so love hummingbirds . . . we only get the ruby-throated here and they are quite territorial. I was standing next to my feeder one day and I had one try to chase me off . . . cheeky little bugger.

Jess! Stop wasting yer mathy time! :lol:

Pahteigh! Your unexpected afternoon adventure just struck me as so.....wonderful, somehow. :) What a special lady Aunt Clara is! Absolutely terrific that you were engaged with her in such a way. . . . .....And I know she felt so safe and cared for in your capable hands. :)

Now, in your conversations with her, you didn't mention anything about anal glands or the yeti, didja? :unsure:

Well, some good news. And hello :)

We just found out that in less than 2 months, I am moving with the family to Cape Cod.

We're both very excited and are looking forward to the adventure. I'll keep you all updated as we go.

I just found out that Skeeter's doc has moved to Canada!! Apparently, we (the US) are trading my daughter's GI for Ryan.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      My only proof

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
