The term refers to an historic Spanish coin worth 8 reales. They were widely used around the time Spain was trying to take over the New World.

Yes... . .. .. . I was hoping a young Spanish revolutionary was perhaps strolling through my yard and clandestinely slipped a small stash of such currency under the cover of said ho'tub, thinking it a grand hiding spot from the French... . .or English. . ... . ... .Vikings? Who in HELL were the Spaniards battling, anyways? :lol::rolleyes:

What is this about 70 cm of snow in parts of Kansas?? That 2 1/2 FEET!! :o

I've been wondering if having a cat sleep on your pants counts as ironing....

Gah! For me, yes....by the time I've gone over my lap a hundred times with the lint/hair brush, it is certainly considered ironed. . . ........ :rolleyes:

Mornin Psillies! Another drippy, dreary day here! I worked outside in it all day yesterday....at least it wasn't freezing cold...or snowing! Read about the midwest and all of that snow and power-outages. How horrid! Pah-tay, you didn't get any of the storm on the fringes..did you? I heard the upper part of Texas was getting some nasty stuff! So glad it's not here :P

No ho'tub surprises.....how disappointing!

Psuessle.....I've been avoiding getting on the computer at night, maybe I should! Most nights I'm awake many times....tossing and turning, determined to go back to sleep. It's such a bummer :( Hope yer pheelin better today.

Light rain at the moment, but for a while it was just throwing it down. Light rain is expected to continue into the early evening.

Using a cat instead of an iron has merit. It takes less effort, and in my line of work if you have cat fur on your clothes it is not really out of place. :rolleyes:

Cat iron it is! By popular consensus. If you travel on a mode of transportation that has a huge crowd moving in unison portion (like getting off the ferry), the cat hairs on your clothing tend to redistribute themselves to all your companions. :ph34r::P

Storms all well to the north of us--it's been a beautiful, clear, cool weekend! B) Mark's working pretty much round the clock (coming home at 11, going back at 6) to get the company moved into the new facility by Tuesday. Daunting, but they feel they'll pull it off. :) Hopefully after that's all done, things will get back to normal. Whatever that is :lol:

Meanwhile, I'm bored to death......going grocery shopping later. Must get some of the "new, improved" Enjoy Life Granola people are saying good things about.

It's me phirst time driving out alone here--keep yer phingers crossed I don't get lost, er sumphin :P

Phunny thing--I've read about the Enjoy Life granola and how they've improved the recipe to good reviews here. The HEB here is a really big grocery store with a very decent gluten-free section. The EL granola was almost sold out! :P I got one of the last 3 bags on the shelf. I almost got 2, but I don't know if I'm gonna like it.

They were fully stocked on everything else in the dept, except this. :rolleyes: Good new travels fast :D

Smackl has gotten a hair cut!!!! He wanted a little off the back . . . :lol: . . . he got more taken off than he wanted but it has a "style" now . . . well . . . sorta . . . if he were to actually brush it or sumptin.

Tis snowing at the moment so of course we decided that we must go buy our (dogwood) tree today. I'm going cheapo and buying from Lowe's instead of a nursery and they don't carry many big (I sooooo use that term loosely) ones (OK, I saw two) so I thought we better get it now or it won't be there when we come back.

What the crock you guys fixin' for supper tonight?? We're havin' beef and gravy, mashed taters, some kinda veggie TBD and trying BRM corn bread for the first time.

Did I ever tell you guys I lived in Texas (Abilene) for about 6 months? . . . mighty nice folks down in them there parts.

jerseyangel Proficient

Hi Jan-it!! :D Missed you!

Are you gonna post a picture of The Smackster's new 'do?

Cool that you lived in Texas--I have to say that everyone we've met here so far have been very nice :) Dinner.....it all depends if Mark is going to be home. If not, then leftover pasta. If he makes it home for dinner, I think sirloin tips/onions, mashed potatoes and a veggie.

I bought a box of GFP corn bread mix this morning--could make that too.....

jerseyangel Proficient

Another phood-related post.....this Enjoy Life Granola is really good! I bought the cinnamon kind, which was all they had left.

Closing up the bag now...... B)

hmmmm......dinner....

Last night I cooked a big chunk of beef (all night). Took it out this morning and took off the fat from the liquid (I cooked it in a bit a red wine - what else?).

A little while ago I threw some sweet taters, red bell peppers, pearl onions, garlic, and a can of tomatoes in to the broth. Figured I'd cook those up for a while, chuck the juice, and have a lovely bowl of veggies.

Jess! Don't chuck that juice! Pour it into a big wineglass and sip away....c'mon, ya don't throw wine sauce/broth out!. . . . ...

:lol:

Ahhhh, dinner.. . .. . . . .tonight will be chicken nachos, wif the leftover meat from the big, fat bird I cooked last night. Nice big salad.....we're set. Just gotta get Jack on the cheese grater. When he does this job, it is quite amazing how the big brick of cheddar goes down to almost nothing, and there is not a whole lot of grated cheese resulting. . . . ... <_<:rolleyes:

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
