Dare to be Royal!!

Did you want to wear a tiara, Tom? I can't help thinking that Emily is waiting anonymously in the background to take us to page 300.

Just to warn you, I will not be posting first on 300 so don't ask me any questions . . . I will plead the 5th.

At first I'm like "how'd I miss this?", then I see it was the dreaded simultaneous posting! :o

Tom, did I read (a long ways back) that you are an engineer?

Me 'n' Choo-Choo Charlie!!

<shukka-shukka . . .. shukka-shukka . . .. >

I guess I can't really even say what I am NOW, but I WAS a Silicon Valley Elec Engr for ~ a dozen yrs. Hmmm one job offer is to be tha again so maybe I am.

I just want to make sure that I am not the Queen of page 300. I don't want to wear any stinkin' tiara. And being in charge of two kids is enough for me. I don't want to have to rule the likes of this lot! :angry::huh::lol::lol:

We can wash the tiara!!!

<is that a dig at our current [OOPS! Former!] queen's hygiene?>

See, I figger we got a King already, so I'm not even eligible for ascension to a TOP spot. It's gonna be you Janet.

Don't even try to 'superweasel' your way out of it.

All hail the New QUEEN AMANDA!!!

(sheesh we were 3 or 4 posts away when I started my last reply. I wondered if someone was broadbanding their way into making me be on p300.)

And yes Janet, I was trying to ask a question or otherwise get a response LOL

It didn't start out that way but . . . OK, sure!

Definitely unpeeled (seedless and red).

Why thank you :)

I think Richard would also make a good jester. Maybe he could be the court artist/photographer.

I will need a king too

No no annnnnnnnnnnd .. . . .no.

I wonder in our motley crew is most likely to be able to juggle . .. .. ..hmmmmm that's a toughie.

I CAN, however, wiggle my ears, if it pleases the Queen to have lobes-in-motion on Her Majesty's Royal Saxophonist.

<uh oh! no promises . . .never tried to do both at the same time. maybe the wigglin' is only 'tween licks. (Take that any way u like :P )

Just don't forget how sensitive they can be. Nor the ruckus he'll create if he feels slighted.

So PLEASE!! I implore you . .. . .when the dancing begins do NOT think about the fact you know the steps so much better than he. Whether a waltz or a tango, or some nondescript unworthy-of-a-name slow shuffle . .. . LET THE YETI LEAD!!!!!! :P

Sarah said she was knee-deep in sheets. (At the time, I thought she said sh!t and was cleaning up doggy-doo but now I know different).

Haha! No that was last week, and it was Ezra poo! <_<

I want to be in the court too! I can wiggle one ear- the right one. I can't do the left one though.

Happy Birthday Emily!!!

We went to an anniversary/Halloween party at my best friend's house tonight, and got home laaaate. I ran around in high-heeled boots all night and my feet are now saying, "Uh. And what were you thinking? You're going to pay now, for at least 24 hours."

Got home at about 1 am, and first carried in sleeping Ezra (up the steps) and put him to bed. Went back, got sleeping Lucas, carried him in, put him to bed. Went back, got leftover food, carried that in. Went back, told my sleeping husband I was NOT carrying his butt in. Came in, took the dog out. Put away said leftovers.

Now I happily have on jammies and soft socks, and I'm watching John Carpenter's The Fog. :D

I musta missed replying to this while off looking for those old pointy bell-enhanced slippers!

Tell me more!!

Work for anyone I may have heard of?

I spent a summer at Sperry right when it was acquired by Honeywell, working on TCAS, the Traffic Collision Avoidance System for comm'l airliners. (I kinda did squat, actually :lol: )

Uh-oh I should be asleep already. <8 hrs until my Pod-loaders arrive! <which was the sleepy emo?>

      Gluten Free Sugar or Starch known to increase gas?

      I noticed when eating some gluten-free foods I get increase of gas. I read it can be due to starches or sugar. But is there a particular name of the sugar or starch known to cause increase of gas to look in the ingredients to avoid. Thanks

      Hi @EvieJean I was delighted to read @hjayne19's comments about A LIfe at Last as the book definitely helped me to understand how anxiety works.   You may be suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies which will can contribute to and even cause anxiety. Have you had any tests done?  If you have and 'normal' results , do take a second look at the levels.  Low normal, for instance, in iron and B12, may still be causing you anxiety, so you may need to consider supplementation.  (If you do this, best talk to your GP, particularly regarding iron, as it needs regular monitoring. - too much in the blood can be dangerous) When I was first diagnosed, my GP was happy when my ferritin levels were c. 11 n/gL (just on the cusp of our local normal lab readings) whereas a consultant I saw some months later for continuing mouth issues said, 'Far too low! and told me my levels should at least be at 40.   Another example is B12 -  in some countries a reading of 500 is considered the start of normal levels, in the UK normal range starts at 180 n/gL.  I feel much better when my B12 is at a higher level. If you are feeling depressed and generally stressed I'd also consider reading Dr Steve Llardi's book The Depression Cure which aims to address these issues with   physical exercise,  omega-3 fatty acids, natural sunlight exposure,  restorative sleep and social connectedness.  I have given this book to many people who found it helpful, and a relative of mine who is a doctor thinks it is fantastic.   The run up to my diagnosis and for some time afterwards I had terrible brain fog, insomnia and intrusive thoughts.  In time, with the supplementation, and also the above books, I did feel so much better.  I really hope that you can find some help with the above, and remember, try to keep your diet as gluten free as you can.  Also, please come back to us if you have any further questions.

I found by taking these methods and suggestions into my daily life it did in fact improve my sleep! I also did a full blood panel and found my vitamin d was on the lower end. So currently taking vitamin d and feeling alot better. It sounds like you’ve had repeated gluten exposure so your gut may be delayed in healing. I’m no expert by any means but I really suggest reading the book and hopefully it’s a start!  @EvieJean Im sorry you’re going through that.
