Hmm..with duress, I will work on that issue. If I can e-mail a pic to someone, could they work to post this pic? Computers and I don't understand each other. And, I am please to do what I do. Karen so wonderfully found the best, most glamours goose that I have ever seen.

My father always said to me "the expectation is always greater than the realization". In this case, how true.

I will work on the realization. :rolleyes:

email it to me. You know where I live :lol::P:ph34r:

Ahh... so I'm not alone in this? Tom Cruise and those guys do nothing for me. Brad Pitt was GORGEOUS in Legends of the Fall, but then he wore off.

Too 'clean cut'

I have to add the guy that plays Kovac in ER (dreamy!)

I may have to dye my hair darker ... I usually go very blonde in the summer, but darken a bit in the winter because I'm so pale. But with the antibiotics I'm on for the next couple years :ph34r: , I'm not allowed to go in the sun without #35 .... Brunette, wouldn't that throw everyone for a loop?!!

Hey Carla!! (been following your progress on OMG BTW )

I too have been thinking of going darker - dunno if my pale skin can take it though :blink:

I agree, we need a picture of the Goose.
Definitely!!!

My father always said to me "the expectation is always greater than the realization".

:lol::lol::lol: ..I love that saying!!!

Makes me think of christmas day!! :D

You can leave your goose up as your avatar and put your picture up on your personal page.

Bev, I've met someone like that one time, with that natural almost white hair. She was from Holland, and was hard to hate because she was nice, too. She spoke something like 7 languages ... I was in Mexico studying Spanish, my second language, and she was learning Spanish through English, her second language!

Thanks for the blonde comment, I've always been blonde. This color was natural pre-children, now I have to pay for it. :P

Right now mine is dark on the underneath ... a dark brown, but I wanted more of a red color ... then I have some more darker lowlights than either of my pics. I need a more current picture up there, but there all on hubby's computer.

Thanks for following my progress. The meds are kicking in and killing off the bad guys ... and making me feel REALLY bad!! I sent out an email to everyone with the details, you know those on the OMG thread wanted details!!! I posted some general info on the board, so if you want details PM or email me.

My grandfather's parents came over from England. I don't know if that's why I have this pale skin ... but what I can't really figure out is even though it's pale, I get a nice tan, though not really dark like some get. My grandfather was always really tan, but he lived in Florida. With his icy blue eyes (with stick straight eyelashes that I've seen on other English people) I would expect he probably had the pale skin, too.

No, they're just the three women I'd pick if someone said I had to wake up looking like someone else (Penelope Cruz #1) :P

Oh, you know who else is really hot? Sam Sheppard. OMG. and also, there is a British actor whom I love, he played Mr. what's-his-name in the A&E version of Jane Eyre - - Carla will know.

can't think who else. more later. must shampoo carpets today. I would like to post a photo of my newlly-finished living room here, but all instructions on doing that thing where you post and hit the little globe thing and all of that rubbish have failed me. :wacko: oh wait, I will check this book that I have.

Carla- HANG IN THERE! I'm sure it's GOT to be tough. I can't imagine what all those drugs are dong to you. :(

And yes- you are truly a good blonde. I also thought of Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman (blonde/red/strawberry blonde?) and Renee Zellwgger (she's so cute and perky!).

Nikki- Me too- chubby knees :ph34r:

I thought of Jude Law too- not so much in real life, but in Cold Mmountain, oh my! :rolleyes:

SusieQ- Girl crushes...that's so funny. I have them too...Angelina, Penelope and Salma. I was over a VERY conservative, sort of shy friend's house one night with her and her hubby and we were grilling him about who his virtual girlfriend would be. He said Halle Berry and she, after 3 glasses of wine said she'd cheat on her hubby with halle Berry. We were DYING laughing!

OK...I have a question about skin and eyelashes. I'm English,

Irish and French but everyone thinks I look Italian. My hair is really dark (naturally anyway :P) and my skin gets REALLY DARK in the sun but I'm pretty pale in winter. Weirdest thing was when I got my genetic test results back, my celiac gene was the Mediterranean one.??????

Bev - you MUST be Italian! I, too, am English, Irish and French, also Scottish and 1/4 Norwegian. I can no longer tan AT ALL - - I am not kidding, could sit at the equator in a bikini (yikes! banish the thought! :o ) and come back with only a nice, surface layer of crispy cancer but no tan. :huh: so - are you quite sure of your genetic lineage?

OMG SWOON indeed! :wub: I am deeply in love with Colin Firth. He is, in fact, being suggested (my idea!) as the actor to play the husband in the film to be made about one of my dear friend's lives.....true story! The woman for whom I occasionally work, Linda Caine, wrote a book that was a bestseller in England. As we speak Linda is in London meeting with the screenwriter for the movie (we are so excited!) and he has some important connections......they are talking of Ralph Fiennes as the shrink and Kate Winslet to play Linda. :rolleyes: BTW I highly recommend this book to any of you who've suffered with depression or any mental ills, I read it in the darkest period of my life, and threw up a prayer to God that I would love to meet this woman......well, not only did I MEET her, she is one of my dearest friends, and in fact, I have a key to her house. ;) oh yeah, her two dogs are my girls' boyfriends. :)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
