Never been called Crayon before. Called a lot of other things...kinda like Crayon. It's colorful. Can I be magenta or aquamarine?

Used to live in old town Alex. Where were you? We could have helped Muffin with the wine!

I changed my av to a glass mosaic crab from my project. Can you see him?

Hi Crayon,

Yep, of course you can! Quinacridone magenta is all yours, and very appropriate too!

I can't see your mosaicatar yet. I live on Crapital Hill near H Street NE. From my house, you can smell the tax dollars burning, only 6 blocks from the hot air center of the universe.

Old Town Alexandria is a neat area. I imagine you went to the Torpedo Factory Art Center there? I took some art classes there a few years back. Nice place.

Jeee-Eff, you have a new av? It must be a pic of pizza, I'm figgerin'. .. . ...I canna get it to appear, even after hitting F5.. . ..it's still just that funny li'l man.. . . .:unsure:.. . .

Post a pic of yer painting, Jeee! Wanna see it. . . !

Sorry M-Lee, Crayon fingered it out. I had changed my profile pic but not my avaturd. Hmmm, I have to download the pics first. Guess that is all right to post? I am not sure on the rules for that. I am working on another one today, will see how it goes.

You want a pic of one of my boys for my av? :unsure:

Ha ha ha! Y-not? Gobble gobble. :D

Gee efff, you changed your profile pic but maybe not the AV? 2 different things. Go to change the av in change my profile. Then put your stick body in there. I really like that pic!

Yep, Crayon, the computer nose what I want to do but doesn't like to help me sometimes. Silly stubborn computer. The delaid reaction was not a PWTB policy at all!

OK, Muffin may have got some wine somewhere. Or some catnip. She turned on the ceiling fan in the bedroom again. Every once in a while she does that, and then some days later she turns it off.

Somewhere she has hidden the remote control for the fan and likes to play with it occasionally. Danged if I can find it. She won't say where it is hidden either.

A few weeks ago she had it turned on full high speed, and it was chilly in there too! Then she turned it off and it's been off for a few weeks. She is darn ornery sometimes, now she has it running on low. At least that isn't too bad for the chill factor. She won't sleep on the bed when it is on full high speed tho. Cam dat!

:D

Can anyone see the reddish crab in my avatar? I did the same thing I did before and it looked OK.

Yes, Gee Eff, we used to go to the T Factory a lot. Went to a costume Mardi Gras party. The costumes were amazing!

Yes, I see it. You're anything but a crab my dear Karreennee!! I'm supposed to be getting ready to leave so I'm trying to stay offline. It's a bit addictive, isn't it?

I'll be back (like AHRNOLD)

Jeee-Eff! I can see yer new pic now - - a rather surreal stick-man. Is this a rendering of your face? You look rather old-fashioned villian-like.. . . ..the type who once tied young damsels to the railroad tracks. . . . ...:huh:. .. .. . :rolleyes:

Man, I'm just realizing what a horrific thing this would be to do to a damsel. ... . . . talk about being in distress.....gawd, imagine being bound, immobile, on those big tracks... . . . .. ..a massive locomotive approaching, rails pounding, whistle screaming.. .. . ..... ...

Gah. Squish.

Right, then... . .back to Psilliness.. .. . .

Don't they always get saved by a Canadian Mountie?

So, I needed to clean out this one small kitchen cabinet thingy. It was full of recipes, most of which, for glutinous reasons, I will never make. I wanted to make room for a few things that got displaced by the dining room furniture change. This of course has now led to the cleaning of several more areas in the kitchen. You cannot clean one mess up without it creating another mess! And conundrums about what will fit in the space. By the time I get through, we won't be able to find anything! Also, do flower vases replicate themselves?

Love the picture of Dudley Doright.

I wonder if the florist would want to re-use the vases? It seems a waste to throw them out.

Wonder how Jess's busy weekend is going? Wonder if they made it to any of the things they were planning? ;)

I'm sure they would--my son's girlfriend's family owns 2 florist shops and I had a ton of vases building up at one point. I finally asked if they could use them and she said definitely.

Hi M-lee,

Yep, that's my mug, or somewhat like it anyhow. Damsels actually like being tied to the tracks a lot if you ask me. They always make a bunch of those fun little squeakly sounds of joy thru their gags. Such a blast they are having!

Hub has decided that the gathering for his employees/ co- workers should just be a quick pop by after work for a drink during the week. Now I'm afraid I will have too much food!

Well, since I'm talking to myself, I'll go make that crab some friends.

This sounds vaguely familiar. :rolleyes: I have some stuff in the living room that needs to go in the attic, so I have to clean and organize the attic.....getting rid of stuff. Some things in the attic need to go in the closet under the stairs, so now I have to clean that out (the Twa can be soooo messy! They are serious hoarders <_< )

In the past week I have managed to bruise my arm at the exact place I broke it AND bruised my elbow on the same arm! :( Oye!

Exactly right on the cleaning! But with your re-injured arm, you won't be able to clean for weeks. ;)

I did go see the Picasso exhibit and it is fabulous. If it tours near you it's worth the effort. I'm taking today off to do my homework and because I can. :)

Heading out for a walk, which I haven't done in a long time.

Looks like Picasso is going to Richmond Virginia Feb-May.

I just saw that. However far you are from Virgina, it's still a lot closer than Paris...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
