My mum thinks the toenail color isn't awful but not pretty. My dad just laughed and said to keep it awhile as it is a hassle to take off.

Cooper was the hit of the facility. They always get small dogs so they appreciate a big one they can reach to touch. He went on his first elevator ride. He put his front paws out wide and looked puzzled at the floor on the way down. He got right in to go back up and this time was trying to smell the crack in the door. This is real progress for him. When we first got him he was scared of everything, real & imagined.

Holy hot waiter Batman!!! In a kilt too, no less! Thank God for sunglasses :). Our 19km bikeride each way turned into a 4 hour, we don't know where the hell we are, bikeride. Can't say it was particularly fun, but the gardens were beautiful! So here we sit, unable to move, at this awesome Irish pub eating and drinking our aches and pains away ;)

If you must be lost, sounds like a great place to be lost in. Did you get a peek at what he is or is not wearing under the quilt?

it was Em's sentence, here it is copied and pasted:

Hmm.... . ..... . ..they are probably boring, hard to work with, expensive and high-maintenance. I just want the regular men - - much more exciting, bad for my health, easy to be with, can pick 'em up in any fast food joint. . .... . ...

Don't tell me!!! We wait until the fall and watch the whole season in HD on Netflix, we're too impatient to wait from week to week. We get the whole thing done in couple-three weekends. And, I have done an admirable job of avoiding hearing about it this season. If there's gonna be spoilers, can somebody warn me?

Having a Quickie so I can see what I want to reply to:

Patti - love the billboard & it could be an ad for anyone of us :P

Soose - Sorry the computer is sick - has it been "glutened"? Love the picture of the snugglers. Cooper saw it & he wants a Kitty.

Lost - gave up on it long ago but want to watch all episodes at once like I think it will make more sense that way.

No, alas the wind didn't pick up till right after we left. Then I spent the rest of the time trying to hold my skirt down so no one saw my nether-regions ;) Did try to get a look at his thumbs but I couldn't take my eyes off his beautiful face and bulging biceps....<Dreamy face>;) this trip was nice, but methinks I need a girls trip soon so I have someone right there to giggle wif me. I don't think dh woulda giggled about that....:0

A Psooooozle drive-by! :) Gads, I was yearning to hear that you've been away due to all the time requirements involved in the new, incredible, fairy-tale relationship you've begun with the man of all our dreams (um, barring POeter, methinks), or in the high-falutin', high-paying career you've begun... ... . . ....but it's been yer computer keeping youse away?

Crap. :rolleyes::lol:

YES! Mygawd, I'm finding it more and more difficult. We get some wickedly heavy, sizzling hot air here through the summer, and I have never lived with air conditioning. The past couple of years we have talked about having it put in because I canna STAND it some days. Then we remember what it would cost, and turn the floor fans up higher.... . . . ... :rolleyes:

Hi my sillies

Finally got my old computer hooked up so I can type faster and not have the web book bouncing all the sentences into other paragraphs

Haven't been on c.com in months but nice to see old friends on here still posting the 'funnies'

got a notice there was a restaurant in CA so decided to look as tired to washing the shower stall...............uck.

We still aren't settled in and don't know when it will ever happen as the $ is disappearing faster than lighting.

Try to do a task or box at least a day

this am it was raining as the weather lady was saying.............sunny skies everywhere but snowing in the Mt's

Maybe she doesn't have windows in her office. blink.gif

Funny, it will be pouring rain and the sun will be shining in some parts of the sky with a rainbow

Anyway, just wanted to drop in to say HI since I still could use my old pass word thank God!

Have a great Sunday everyone.

      I ate sprouted buckwheat and hard boiled egg last night instead of cereal and got extra 1/2 hour sleep but more importantly feel better this morning. I do sleep in cycles that seems to rotate btwn 3 and 6 hrs but I will monitor next time I make a pot. Bwheat is a complete protein with good amounts of thiamin, magnesium, fiber and iron. High carb but much lower glycemic and much healthier than refined flour cereal.

      @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!

      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. 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.

      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/

      @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!
