Sillies- I am here at work again--feels like I was just here! Weekends should be 3 days! Oh Queen can we arrange something?

You want an 8 day week?????.......Don't think I got clearance to do that.

Oh.....and by the way......killing cactus?.....child's play, dearie. Ain't nothin I can't kill! :P

'Sorry, this video is no longer available' :angry:

WHAT in hell was it???.... a slingshot or summat????? :unsure::lol:

:P You were reading my mind! After watching it I thought, Hmmmmmmm....a slingshot would be better ;) So I googled, but none of the human slingshots would actually let the person go! <_< What'sup with that????

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.

:huh:

:blink:

I think I know the problem..........that's not a dryer......it's a washing machine! :P .................why do you have water in your dryer? :unsure:

:lol: ....Mrs. H........for a minute I was thinkin....who put me on youtube????

Well, some good news. And hello :)

Wellllllll......look what the cat dragged in! Good to see you Ryan! :D......and if anyone needs a summary, you'll hafta talk to Ptaughmnus!

Me cold is still hangin on, but am able to go without the decorative accessory of tissue (TP, actually), shoved up the nose, so I'm making a little progress.

Tinkerbell looked at me quite strangely last night while getting comfy on me chest.......

^^

:huh:

:lol::lol: Oh, Leeeeesar! Man, of course! I just knew there was something substantially wrong with the whole situation.......bien sur.......water goes through the washer.. . . . . .. I shouldn't have ANY water AT ALL in me dryer!

Hell, it's much worse than I thought!

:huh:

:lol:

I have early childhood memories of my mom sitting by the pool, or working in the kitchen, or out puttering in the yard, with two small pieces of toilet paper rolled up and stuck into each nostril.. . . . . . . she apparently had a lot of nosebleeds. This was one of those now bizarre but at the time completely normal pictures that appeared constantly through my childhood. In fact, she would show up for parent-teacher interviews at my school and I would say, "Mom! Where's yer kleenex?"....I suppose those pieces of tissue completed her.. . . . . . . . :huh::rolleyes:

Anyways, Leeesar.......is this the type of tissue accessory to which you are referring?

Dunno if anyone could pull them off like me mom. . . . . . . . . :lol:

Even better.......for the total effect you need to take the entire tissue (or 2-3 squares of TP), loosely wad up one end, shove it up yer nose, letting the rest hang down to yer chin. :lol:

Not only does it allow for maximum absorbency (too tight a wad would hinder this), but it also is an artisic expression of exactly how miserable you feel. Tinkerbell obviously has no appreciation for art. Hubby thinks it's sexy :D ...................well.....that's what he said, anyway :unsure:......hmmmm....didn't want a kiss, though :huh:

Of course, this is only an acceptable adornment in the privacy of your own home. :rolleyes:

To all of the above . . . and am adding my own . . .

Does the runny drip ever wake you up at night???? So Sunday night it kept waking me up . . . so upon sticking kleenex up my nostrils, I go back to sleep and have dreams about walking around in public where I have forgotten to remove the kleenex shoved up me nose. . . :P:lol:

And as I sit here at the computer, once again having to give in to this ritual, I have just realised the function of the excess tissue..........once the wad becomes soaked, you still have enough tissue to blow before you throw it away! :D

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.

We also only get the ruby throated...I guess the rest are smart enough to stay in warmer climes! I have taken a lot of pics of the hummers. Love my digital camera!!! We like to grow Dolicos vine (also called Hyacinth bean plant). The hummers love the flowers. You can stand almost within touching distance of them. We catch them resting on the vines while feeding. So cute.

Hya Ryan! So nice to meet you. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures.

Pah-ti....you are invoking memories of our move for me! I've lost count of all of the visitors we've had since we moved here. My mom and dad talk of coming down almost every time I talk to them. It's only an 8-9 hour drive for them...most of my family is in NY. Telehubbys family is about 4. Unfortunately my son is in Arizona...too far...but we talk on the phone often. I'm so glad that your visit was so enjoyable. Sounds like some amazing pholks in your fam!

Still catching up here....

      iron digestibility

      @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 to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa.

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      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...

      @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.

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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: A composite protein enriched with threonine, lysine, and tryptophan improves osteoporosis by modulating the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41915427/

      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!
