Hello Dear Psillies,

Just popping in to say hello. Biopsy was benign but confirmed CLL. Still in the watch & wait stage. Now I have a Sinus Infection. At least the CLL explains why I get sick and fatigued so easily and so frequently

Not pheeling too psilly right now but your posts always leave me smiling.

Missing you all! Off to bed!.

Well, indeed.. .. . . ..I think the parliamentary powers that be are trying to get a load of food into her - - what a skinny thing she is.

And absolutely gorgeous. . . . . . . . ....the two of them make such a striking, conversation-stopping couple.. .... . . .

I wonder if DH and I have ever stopped conversation whilst entering a room?

The amusing responses are limitless.. . . .. <_<

LO- have a nice nap. Might I suggest a lovely sterile bubble to reside in? You seem to be a germ magnet, my dear!

Nic- I wonder what would happen if she had to sit quietly for 1/2 hour? She would probably spend the quiet time planning some new feat of physical prowess!

New Princess - We saw something of the visit on the news last night. My hub pointed out that half the time the Prince wasn't in the shot & when he was, we weren't looking at him. He said be a Prince & Princess looks like it is a tough job (really, not joking).

I'm not sure I'd take her on even in daylight. Although Jyess did survive the encounter - BUT it was in a rather public place!!!

Hub and I have never stopped conversation when entering the room - more likely aroused it :o Now, conversation can be good or bad.......:P

.He said be a Prince & Princess looks like it is a tough job (really, not joking).

He got that right!!! Just imagine always having to put your best phace phorward at all times, the appropriate word or smile, the gracious gesture, no inappropriate parts showing, no equipment failures, My God, the list is endless. Not even chipped nail polish,,,,, :rolleyes: - I could nae survive it even if I did have a team helping me :D

Lo, rest up and get strong; we miss ya around these parts.

Whoa.... 'twould be a pheat phor aknee age.

I grew my first batch of carrots! They actually grown! I've planted them so many times before but they had never grown into real full sixed carrot flavored carrots!

(yes, 'tis worthy of all three "!" my life is that exciting.)

I am covered in bruises from helping a friend move furniture. Most from a fall off the moving van ramp whilst trying to push up a china cabinet. Fortunately my friend was able to keep the cabinet from falling on top of me, and we didn't even break any of the glass walls.

Today gonna go get concrete blocks to put around the new chicken coop. I need to learn to do things that involve easy things, like embroidery or sump'n.

That sounds great. I canna grow carrots here 'cause there are too many wild bunnies around, and they seem to be able to get into any type of metal covering I construct. They eat my flowers, too.

Absolutely adorable, but big pests.

.. . . . Wonder if Manna's in-laws could keep them away?. . . . .. . .

Cleaning the carpet. The oldest caught a stomach bug a few days ago and there

was spillage. Why can't an 18 year old, who is not drunk, make it 20 feet to the bathroom? On a happy note, it forced him to do a bit, only a bit, of cleaning of his room.

Next time he's sick, it's off to Manna's in- laws!

It sounds like these people are gonna come in handy. D'ya think I can get them to carry my chickens in to the coop for me? I haven't figured out the logistics of that part.

Try and get them to sleep out there, too. Perhaps somewhat more appealing than a bathtub.. . . . ..

sigh

I need to go to the pet food store to get more food for Bo, but to do that I need to unload the bricks from my truck, but to do that I need to shovel the rest of the sand out of my wheel barrow.

I had a brief (15 min) nap and a cup of coffee. Now I just need motivation.

Jestgar Rising Star

The only thing slightly less pleasant than a bruised hip, is lying on that hip under a chicken coop while positioning 10 pound concrete blocks. Add to that 'while lying in nettles' and it pretty much adds up to something I don't care to do again. :blink:

Just send him to them AFTER they visit me please! The last thing I need is to be sick while moving or to have sick (and therefore twice as grumpy) IL's helping me move! Although, good luck trying to get them to take him in. We visited once while we were still dating and I came down with a bad cold---MIL caught it after we left and she told her son (My hubby now) that he better NEVER bring me there again... if I'm sick....

Yeah, she paused like she meant to say never bring me there again and then added the sick part. She said that's the sickest she's ever been. :rolleyes:

On the subject of not making it to the toilet despite being sober I have been there many a time I'm afraid. When my body decides to ahem :unsure: "toss cookies" I just toss them violently no mater where I am. I don't always make it to the toilet or trash. :blink: I hafta keep a bucket next to me when I'm really sick. Hope your son feels better soon!

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.
    • Scott Adams
      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
