She said she started putting her makeup on and suddenly spit out 'Good God what happened???' She had no idea where all that droopy, wrinkly skin came from.

Happens to me when I pull out the magnification mirror to pluck me eyebrows. Woah :unsure: I try and do that as quick as possible and put the dang mirror the heck away <_<

One of the reasons I resisted wearing glasses for so long. The world, when viewed through a soft focus of myopia, is a much prettier place.

Muffin top here, which hubby says is just loose skin......I dunno. If I wear pants loose enough not to create the muffin top, I can't keep my pants up.(Lost me bum somewheres, so no help there) If I wear pants tight enough to keep them up. I get muffin top <_< ........oh, and flabby, wrinkly arms. Even me belly button is wrinkly :(

I have all this extra skin that I'm too aftraid to have cut off, so it hangs over my pants, it looks like there was too much liquid in my muffin mix <_<:lol:

I was laying on my side the other day and my ds saw my belly, he looked shocked and said "what is that?" I said it was my belly button. He didn't look convinced since you couldn't actually see where the belly button was, so I said, look what happens when I lay on my back--TaDaaaa, there it was. He said, "Mommy, you should always lay on your back!" <_<:rolleyes:

Peter is more in the dark than usual. Power went out on us a few minutes ago. My notebook is running on battery power, and the modem and router are running on battery backup too. Jacquie is calling the power company to report the problem.

The forecast for tomorrow morning's commute is snow. This will be the first fall of the season, and even though we get snow every year here, everybody forgets how to drive in snow over the summer. So not looking forward to driving to work in the morning.

My balls have been repackaged and are resting comfortably in the (temporarily inoperative) freezer.

Man, this is SO true. The first big blast of snow here (tomorrow and the next day -- 20 cm comin') brings out the same drivers among whom I travel all year, but they are suddenly new people... .. . .. ..unable to keep safe distances, all space perception gone, handling their vehicles like they's on rough, dry pavement.... . . .....GAH.

Off to the orthodontist this am. Jack popped a bracket off at the bowling lanes on Friday evening, and has been living all weekend with a loose wire sticking into his back gum. DH has a fantastically impressive collection of tools -- screwdrivers galore, every size and weight of hammer one can imagine, huge and tiny wrenches, and an amazing mix of pliers and cutters, from the teeny models used for.. . ..crap, I canna imagine -- fixing eyeglass hinges, I suppose. . ......to those for screwing in jet engine parts.

Do you think he has ONE needle-nosed cutter, out of the nine that are hanging in the tool room, that can reach and cut off this li'l wire in The Ripper's mouth? <_<:rolleyes:

So the poor kid had to go the weekend sticking gum back there, candle wax etc., to cover the wire end. He apparently grabbed the nails scissors at one point and managed to bend it downwards a little. Excellent work. B)

Must look for a tenth little wire cutter that would do this job, and put it in DH's stocking. Or Jack's... ..

Be careful out there, Canadian phriends :D Did you get yer power back, Peoter? Balls still frozen? B)

Poor The Ripper--can nae imagine the torture of having a wire constantly poking in me mouth :(

Not much new here--starting me last week in Joisey. Will be over-seeing a new toilet installation this week :rolleyes: We went over to my older son's house Saturday night and helped trim the tree. :D

Instead of buying a house, me thinks we should have 2 apartments. One here and one in Houston. :lol:

Psillies . . . a terribly unpsillie thing (at least today it is unpsillie) . . . an early Christmas present for Skeeter . . . the school nurse called and . . . someone has given her head lice. I have spent the last three hours combing through her hair (she's got very thick hair) after I cut about half of it of myself as the hair cut place would nae take her. I understand this but the poor child has lice AND a hair cut from her mother and I haven't even take the kids' Christmas picture yet!!!

As if I don't already have enough laundry to do . . . I'm now off to launder every single thing in this house that will fit in the washing machine.

Googling tells me it tends to be more of a girl thang . . . what wif the long hair . . . just two girls leaning in to look at the same book wif hair touching will do it, let alone sharing a comb or brush or trying on each others headbands or barettes. Smakl rarely tries on any of his phriends headbands.

GoOoOod morning, Psills!

How's the treatment going, J? I, as well, have managed to avoid the lice household infestation -- amazing, sometimes, as my young nephew and niece had them and we were all fraternizing, and a couple of class infestations have happened throughout the years.

Perhaps I have rubbed off my mysterious physiological bug repellent on me kids. For whatever the reason, I am NEVER bitten or bothered by mosquitos, no-see-ums, deerflies, etc. They will be swarming around others, and I barely have to swat any away. :huh:

Actually, now that I've written that out and read it, it really is quite strange.

If I were self-conscious and had significant self-esteem issues, I could see this making me crazy.

:huh:

:lol:

I have wondered about attributing it to the diabetes.. . . .....perhaps it makes my blood smell weird er sumfin'.

Hell, why aren't there wasps all around me, attracted by the corn syrup??

We wanna pic of Skeeter in her new 'do!

Mornin' all B)

Interesting about the stinky blood, Em :P Ya never know.....I meselph am not bothered much by bugs/bugbites either. Mark, on the other hand, has gotten Lyme Disease from a tick and is severly allergic to bee stings (the sevarity of which may be lessened by 5 years of immunotherapy).

Am coming down wif a cold, compliments of son #1 and girlfriend <_< Me throat pheels like it's on phire :o Glad I did all the painting I wanted to do last week! :D

Jan-it....how's the laundry comin? :P

      iron digestibility

      @glucel, Yes, most doctors prefer to prescribe pharmaceuticals than delve into vitamins because they aren't educated about the health impact vitamins and minerals can make in medical school. Thiamine, especially Benfotiamine, has been shown to be protective to the kidneys.  Benfotiamine improves kidney function!  Especially in people on dialysis.   Thiamine and Benfotiamine are safe and nontoxic even in high doses!  PLEASE Read! Prevention of Incipient Diabetic Nephropathy by High-Dose Thiamine and Benfotiamine  https://diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/article-abstract/52/8/2110/13835/ Benfotiamine Protects against Peritoneal and Kidney Damage in Peritoneal Dialysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3083313/ Prevention of incipient diabetic nephropathy by high-dose thiamine and benfotiamine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12882930/ If more than half your plate is carbohydrates, you need more Thiamine!  High carbohydrate diets induce thiamine because as the carbohydrate load us increased, an increased amount of thiamine is needed to process them.  I have been taking high dose thiamine as thiamine hcl and Benfotiamine for over ten years.  I have not had any bad experiences with it.   I no longer have any symptoms that reflect type two diabetes.   Doctors can't profit from prescribing vitamins because they can't be patented.  They profit from pharmaceuticals and medical procedures necessitated by health conditions that could be remedied, or at least improved, with essential vitamins and minerals!   Don't fear thiamine!  Do discuss the benefits with your doctor.  Ask if you can take 300 mg Benfotiamine in his office under medical supervision if you're nervous.  Most people have improved health within a short period of time.  You've already seen improvement with low dose thiamine hcl.  Jump in with both feet!

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      I found credible scientific evidence from The World Heath Organization, pertaining to nutrients in drinking-water. There are several sections within the paper regarding nutrient depleted water (aka RO water)  Below is a small sample from the PDF which is linked further below. The possible adverse consequences of low mineral content water consumption are discussed in the following categories: • Direct effects on the intestinal mucous membrane, metabolism and mineral homeostasis or other body functions. • Little or no intake of calcium and magnesium from low-mineral water. • Low intake of other essential elements and microelements. • Loss of calcium, magnesium and other essential elements in prepared food. • Possible increased dietary intake of toxic metals. I highly recommend downloading the PDF and reviewing it for yourself. https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9241593989

      Great info, thanks. Luckily I am taking thiamin hcl 100mg at lunch and the 25 mg in morning b complex is made up of hcl and cocarboxlase.  I have read many of your writings about thiamin and understand/believe that the body gets rid of the excess. One thing that a gluten-free diet has done for me is no microscopic blood in urine after a lifetime of it, at least so far, but in other aspects my kidneys not so good. My kidneys have never been completely healthy and as an old guy have only gotten worse. My brother is on dialysis so I am more than concerned about excessive thiamin affect on the kidneys. It would be great to check with a dr about this but most of the time they have no interest in anything but drugs. So yes I would love to load up on b1 but it was actually a big decision for me to add 100 mg at noon time a few months ago. Normally my so called bigger meal, or at least where meat is consumed is at mid day. I eat way too much bread and cereals at night and usually stay away from meat as I try to limit cholesterol, although I do sneak a hard boiled egg in there. Maybe a half a hamburger or something like that could help curb the appetite.

      Barrett’s

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Maureen armey Just one point re: PPIs.  Here in the UK the people I know with Barretts have had to take them long term, or H2 blockers instead, despite the fact they have side effects.   I feel that it is very important that you follow your consultant's advice re: this type of medication but if you do need to take them longterm, see if they can offer any advice on how to mitigate these potential side effects.   I hope you find the information contained via following the link below helpful. Do come back to us if you have any further questions. https://heartburncanceruk.org/blog/should-you-take-ppis-long-term-insights-from-a-gp-and-barretts-patient/ Cristiana

      trehalose intolerance

      By Stegosaurus · Posted

      For the past 3 years, I’ve bloated from most powders, e.g. gelatin, Bulk Supplements glutamine. I don’t eat processed food at all. I know now I’ve had SIBO for 3 years. I’ve been keto for 12 years, except 3 years ago I started eating more starch and fruit. Appears trehalose, a disaccharide of glucose, is used as a stabilizer in LOTS of food, and there are glowing articles about it being a safe low glycemic index sweetener.  But there’s evidence it adversely impacts the gut biome.   "...realistic trehalose consumption from natural sources could be estimated at < 0.3 g per person per day (USA)."  It’s commonly used in "baked goods, breakfast cereals, rice and pasta, processed vegetables, fruit (dried and juiced), milk products, meat and fish products, sweets, chewing gum, and ice cream...the FDA GRAS report for trehalose considers a potential mean consumption level of 34.43 g day...three epidemic strains of Clostridium difficile have evolved independent mechanisms to better metabolize this nutrient resource."  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6546318/&nbsp; "Trehalose binds water, prevents oxidation, and preserves the structure of food during freezing and heating. It also improves the taste while causing slightly milder blood glucose spikes. These properties made trehalose a common food additive in:     Dried and frozen food     Instant food (noodles, rice, soups)     Sugar coatings and fillings     Baked goods     Seafood Most manufacturers label trehalose under “added sugars” or “natural flavors.” People who don’t tolerate mushrooms probably lack trehalase." https://supplements.selfdecode.com/blog/trehalose-health-benefits/#Trehalose_Food_Sources Note that FDA allows food labels to exclude mention of any component that is <0.5%.  It’s called the averaging rule, and the component is not on the label.  A food can have very many components that are each <0.5%.  So reading the label is no assurance that you know what you’re consuming. https://www.allergy-insight.com/trehalose-intolerance/ "...trehalose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme trehalase...can be genetic, or caused by severe gastroenteritis and other gut diseases." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18777247/ Characterization of alpha,alpha-trehalase released in the intestinal lumen by the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii  "...trehalase deficiency is more common than is believed and that oral administration of S. boulardii could be beneficial in patients with digestive symptoms caused by trehalose intolerance."  I ferment fruit juice with Florastor to greatly increase the colony count.  It's easy and delicious.  I drink 1/2 cup with any trehalose source, and it helps.
