It sounds to me like this poor old woman has nothing better to do with her time than cause trouble for people. She should maybe be careful carrying all those things in case someone were to cause trouble for her ;)

So I have to laugh....last evening, we found our 4 y/o standing at the top of the stairs, and from what I can tell, she had been there for some time. My wife says, "Hi T." DD had a can of pop (soda) in her hand, which she managed to get out of the fridge downstairs al by herself, and asked if my wife would like to have it. My wife replied, "Oh..no thank you sweetie." At which point my daughter said, "Well, there's no beer mommy!" I almost died I was laughing so hard.

Hope you all have a good day. :)

Too Funny!

I actually have a funny beer story. Where we are in PA you cannot buy beer or wine or anything in the grocery stores....yep we are still in the dark ages. Last weekend we were in FL @ Publix and they had a huge selection of different beers and such. So John was gazing and this mother came up to the selection and she had her daughter with her and the girl was no more than 4. The little girl out louds says, Mommmy are you buying beer today? The mother looked at the beer and said I am not sure. The girl replied. You always buy beer here.

I was laughing and then I told John that was something our kids would never be able to say since we cannot buy it that way. Interesting huh?

Did I tell you about our nosy neighbor lady that drives us all crazy??

These are the best neighbors to have! Think of the fun you can have!

Jen:"yah, last week they tried to sell Landen to some people in <insert upscale neighborhood>".

John:"Oh, I just spend the night with either Amanda or Jen, whichever one isn't feeling tired."

Amanda:"No, Landen is really MY baby, I just let Jen take care of him sometimes."

Any of you:"Landen? Did I have him today? When did you last see him?"

Amanda or John:"Oh, we lock the door. He'll be fine by himself"

or "If I have to go out I just grab that guy that lives in the doorway down the street."

Wow--that's amazing....we had flocks pretty close to that in South Jersey every so often. When they landed, every tree, power line, lawn, everything was dotted with the birds.

I thought it was amazing too. The lighting wasn't very good in the video, I don't know if it was a stormy day or an ameteur camera or what. There must be ALOT of birds in that flock :lol:

Speaking of the Sillie Summit.....Emily must be in Philadelphia by now and it's on the way to 92 degrees with oppressive humidity. :o Good thing there are lots of air conditioned places to duck into.

I hear this morning that the humidity is supposed to be much lower beginning on Thursday for the Summit :D

oh rub it in. Probably the day will start with a light shower to freshen the air and paint the sky with rainbows while the afternoon sun will make the flowers glow and every color of butterfly will descend on the city whilst the unscheduled troop of Romanian pipers fill the air with lilting, mysterious melodies and the children all laugh and dance in the streets.

I have very bad news to report. Due to some last minute scheduling at my job with our new studies I will not make it for the Silly Summit. I told my boss I would like to bypass the one meeting, her answer was if you would like we can bypass me working here..... :blink: I guess I better come to work.....

I would have liked to have join you for the Psilly Psummit, but it's a wee bit of a treck for coffee. Have a wonderful time and take PHotos.

Now, think about the Outer Banks in September or October (HIGH HURRICANE SEASON, BUT THE HOUSE IS CHEAP....hee, hee, hee.) Any interest???

Hi Sillies- Sorry, I am WAY behind the curve. Was with the famdamnly from Thursday to last night on an island in the middle of Lake Champlain. We were technically in VT but you could swim to NY or Canada (I swam to neither :P). I had a GREAT time still antibiotic free!!!!!!!!!!! However, several strange events occurred that I must tell you of:

1. I think that Gus the Yipper is secretly vacationing on this island under the name of Bosco. I do not have a picture to prove it but I SWEAR he was staying at the fishing lodge we stayed at!!!!!!!!

2. I met a fellow celiac (his wife calls it Silly Ass disease) and I can confirm that the sense of humor is CLEARLY related to celiac. His name is Arnie and he is supposed to pop into this thread. Look out for him- he's pretty funny. He will probably also tell you MANY things about me that are only slightly true :lol: :lol:

3. Due to the yummy mixes of Namaste blondies and brownies- we were invaded at midnight by chocolate zombies (uhm- men and women in their 60's with pantyhose over their heads who came out of a VERY dark woods moaning for chocolate). You'd think they'd go after the REGULAR chocolate cake but no........

Of course, I thought of our Psiouxie constantly. :wub:

Hope everyone had a good weekend!!!!!!!! And the summit is coming!

      @glucel, There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia. Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen. In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular...

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa.

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are right that the study’s main conclusion was cautious: the researchers found that inherited antibody-gene variants significantly shape the naïve B-cell receptor repertoire, including usage of some gene segments involved in celiac-related antibody responses, but they did not find strong evidence that polymorphisms in...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae. I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health). I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides. I prefer the supplements. I feel better and my bones feel stronger. References...

      iron digestibility

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @glucel,  There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia.  Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen.  In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular events.  Curiously, thiamine deficiency is correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness and oversleeping.   I found a combination of Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, magnesium, and L-theanine works very well for inducing sleep.  Sometimes, I add Passion Flower Extract and/or Sweet Melissa.  There's no side effects the next morning with Passion Flower, it just induces sleepiness.  Sweet Melissa is groovy, and has anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system.   I prefer to take 250 mg Benfotiamine and 100 mg Thiamine TTFD in the mornings and another dose of Benfotiamine at lunch.  I try not to take any thiamine after four p.m. because it keeps my brain so energized and wanting to think... Oh, I do take a combination of another form of thiamine (sulbutiamine), Pyridoxine and Cobalamine for a pain reliever sometimes, but I can sleep after taking that.  But thiamine does help regulate circadian rhythm.   Make sure you're getting Omega Three fats! They'll help you satisfy that late night carb craving with fewer carbs.  Flaxseed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil.  Nuts and nut butters, like walnuts and cashews, are good, too, if you can tolerate them.    Try taking the 100mg thiamine HCl before your aerobics and see if there's a difference.  Sweet dreams!

So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      Coeliac And Cardio Vascular Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
