Oh, Gaaaaawwwwwwwd..... :(:(

Ptaoughhm, I watch the Triple Crown obsessively each year...I am a true horse person. We watched the race at my parents', and then had to immediately go down to the dining room for dinner, so we left the broadcast just as they were showing the equine ambulances pulling up around a downed horse. I couldn't stay long enough to even hear which horse, but I had a sick feeling that it was that beautiful little filly. Oh, gawwwddd..... :(:(

Sat down here to google the race and find out what had happened, but decided to check in with you guys first. I am so surprisingly saddened by this news...(inappropriately?)....

But ya know, I'm glad it was one of us Sillies, Ptaoughmn, that I heard it from, somehow...

Do we need a heavy jacket for the canal cruise? Umbrella? Gold dipped roses for the hostess?

:lol::lol:

Mygawd, how I wish this were really happening....

Light jackets will do. Umbrellas for Canada goose poop....

I'm THERE!!

Uh-oh .. ...flight doesn't land until 11:45pm your time.

I'll just get a cab. Leave a key under the 3rd rock by the 2nd bush to the right??

You got it. Actually, I'll bury it next to our BIG, BEAUTIFUL CHESTNUT TREE in the back that does NOT have to be cut down!!!!! Yes!! Had a very good arborist over today who looked carefully at it and said that it's the biggest chestnut tree he's seen in this part of the continent, and that with some pruning and heavy fertilizing, it should be fine! :):)

He quietly said to me, "You know.....this tree looks to me like it's been hugged...."

What superb Canadianisms, Janet. It is all so true - - these are not simply stereotypes....they ring with accuracy. We are a bizarre, innocent, polite, exasperating bunch up here.... :lol:

He really did say that - - how funny, eh?

I am SO happy about my big tree...that's also probably funny. I guess I think of it as my massive friend who's been out there watching over us through our lives in this house.

Jeez....I should be hugging everybody.......

Wish I could have hugged Eight Belles....... :(

Emily, Great news about the tree . . . :D

And what terrible news about that poor horse . . . :(

Was he tipped off by the resemblance to all the tree-hugger pix in that 3pack of Walmart frames?

Well.....he said that the tree looked like it had been regularly hugged, not that I looked like I had been regularly hugging trees....but interesting, nonetheless....must go and check my sweater....

I cannot describe it....my big tree just looks....happier. I think I can hear it actually sighing when I put my arms around it. I certainly can hear the neighboUrs whispering...

She is quite beautiful! Are we thinking of getting Gus a little sister? :D

Good Sunday mornin' Sillies! Tis beautiful here today--sun is coming out and its headed up to 70! B)

My meds are making me very lightheaded...was told it could take a couple weeks for my system to get used to it. It seems to be working, though, at least. If this keeps up, I'll call next week and see if I need a dosage reduction.

Perfect day to sit on my butt and paint the Adirondack chairs :P They are currently black, but I'm switching them to the perfect barn red.

Darn210 Enthusiast

Tis a beautimous day here also . . . will be heading outside a little later for yard work . . . de-dandelioning and de-dead shrubbing and if my knees hold out, planting of some annuals.

Em - she's a beauty, let us know how it goes. Are you going to take Gus to get his opinion?

Patti - light headed, eh? . . . I might just keep it that way if it were me :lol::lol:

The ad sez, "She is for sale due to having horse and we are afraid she wil get hurt".

Oh how fun Patti, the barn red sounds perfect for the chairs.

Just make sure you plant your butt, don't want to topple over with the light headedness :lol:

Did they mention if feeling light headed was usual as your body adjusts?

It's a fantabulous day here as well, temps will get into the 70s :D

Morning Sillies!

Wow another busy weekend it has been....we were to a wedding yesterday. It was an outdoor wedding (it was chilly so I couldnt wear the dress I had wanted) Anyway my good college bud got married and we are so happy for him.

We went to the casino late last night and I won 75 bucks...which i am going to Kohl's right now to use to buy some nice clothes for work.

Today I need to catch up on some house work. The work clothes are all washed and need to be put away. We need to go grocery shopping too.

See all my sillies later!

jerseyangel Proficient

Julie--Yes, it's pretty common with this stuff. I'm hoping it'll work itself out by the end of the week--the Pharmacist said it could take 2 weeks.

Janet--Ha! Kinda like having a slight buzz on all the time--yes, I shall turn this into a positive :lol: All the benefits of half a bottle of wine, without all the calories :P

Going to attempt the grocery store (with Mark) and Starbucks, and then I gotta get to work. See ya'll later. :D

Well, despite a completely grey sky, it's a pretty nice morn here too. It'll be sunny by noon.

Today's our Cinco de Mayo parade - a big deal 'round these parts.

It starts ~ a block away, so I should get out there & check it out.

Then the festival is all day, and free. I'll have to tear myself away from NBA playoffs but it should be worth it.

<sidenote frown> I miss sampling all the food at these things :(

(P.S. I like thinking about Em's BIG old chestnut tree being a survivor) :)

Dude! You've already tried all the food! Try sampling something new, like kiss all the women you walk by. Probably less risk of CC than the free snacks, you'll start a new tradition, and who knows, you may even get a bit of exercise as you run (for your life).

Me, Too!! It makes me suddenly quite happy, deep down...kind of like grief in reverse. :)

But I really do need to know if its battling back, its colossal fight to recovery, has happened as a result of me hugging it. Really....I kind of need to know this..... :unsure::huh::rolleyes:

This is a great suggestion you've posited, Jess. Try this, Ptaoughmn. Every second woman you walk past at first....ease into it. At the same time, I could start a new tradition up here of hugging all men who walk by. Look what happened to my big tree after many hugs! Perhaps I'll have men jumping out of their wheelchairs, throwing their crutches away, pitching their painkillers down the sewers....

........Ya never know.............

Forgot to mention - - love yer av, Ptaoughmn! Those look like two happy, fun kids to be around. :)

Hello, all. Not much happening here, except that the sun is shining after several days gloom and rain. Cool, but warming up.

Good news about your tree, Emily.

Carry on. :)

Mtndog Collaborator

Hallo Sillies- As my nieces would say, "You go to Canada? I COME TOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" but Canada would sound like Canda, or canra ??

Emily- Yeah on the chestnut tree and I too would be very upset about any horse that got injured. I'm still upset about Ruffian and that was eons ago. So sad......they can do a lot more about horse's with broken legs now but still :( :( :(

That dog is howling calling your name!!!!!! What a beauty- a friend for Gus the Yipper????????

Gahh.....tis raining here (for like the past 40 days and 40 nights- starting ark in basement stat- got two dogs, two cats, have to wait for hubby and need two of everything else- no snakes allowed!!!!!!!!!).

yawn- will sleep eat and watch movies. Wait- isn't that all I do anyway?

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    
    • Theresa2407
      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
    • Hmart
      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
