AH!!....a fellow avid gardener :D

Judy!...we'll have to swap some garden pics in an email......

Talking of Iris...I have a load of 'flag iris' in my garden in a prime spot --- I wanted to put something else there but couldn't bare to throw 'em as my Mum gave them to me AND she got them from my late Grandad's garden

GADS they must be about 50 yrs old...plenty of life in 'em

So, Grandad's Iris' are now at the bottom of the garden :D

...should've been doing the evil heinous IRONING...but b@#$%$#%!!..it's too nice out B)

Oh! What a tremendous dentist I have. I have been going to him for....35 years. I called his office last night, leaving a message about my tooth and that I would be calling to get in early this morning. Well, good ol' Patti, his secretary, called me at 7:50 am and said, "Can you be here in half an hour?" You bet.

So, some drilling, some amalgam replacement.....

135 bucks.

Missed my step class, so took the dogs out for a run in the rain. Yes, it is now pouring here, and we had roofers beginning to replace our shingles at 7 am. They got the front done, then had to stop and pack up. :angry:

Soooooooooo....the job is half-done. I do hope to see them bright and early tomorrow.

And I asked - - they do NOT have ballcocks. Perhaps other roofers do, but not any of these guys. <_<:lol:

Candied lamb cartilege.................should have told my dentist that this was what caused that piece coming off my tooth - - had an Elton cone last evening, and there were some surprise bits that required some real gnawing........ :lol:

Emily, I tuned in to the Rogers Cup and saw:

DANCEVIC -vs- DJOKOVIC

I think the canuck lost.

Yep, he lost. :(

Ptaoughmghmn wontdroolforgruel! :lol::lol:

Hey! I wanna see some tattooed grandmas!!

...should've been doing the evil heinous IRONING...but b@#$%$#%!!..it's too nice out B)

Nickerler!! What have we discussed about this ridiculous, heinous, waste-of-precious-energy chore?! Wear yer stuff wrinkled! It is so much more interesting to look at, a wrinkled piece of fabric........well, all right, it's much more interesting to draw.........more light and shadow, line and sweep.....

Same wif skin, but I certainly do NOT try to wrinkle mine up for interest's sake..... :lol:

Have a great swim, Judy!

Amanda's struggling through work......thinking about you. Get this slippery elm gruel on the stove!

I see the lozenges are gluten-free too! I just like the gruel because it's like sipping hot tea.

Love yer avatar, gorgeous ladies!! Glad you are feeling a little better today :)

Julie? :o Gruel???? :blink: :wontdroolforgruelface:

:lol: Tom

I kid you not, that's what it be called!

Candied Lamb Cartilage :blink: That sounds really appetizing......

After the 24hr shutdown (operation Investigate Silly Phorum) I was FURTHER plunged into a phorumless abyss due to loss of internet connection!!!!!!!! :(:angry:

MY Gaaaawd ....as if I haven't suffered enough already!!!!

BTW .....Bev's right....I also got gas with the shakes :huh: ........Tel was going to escort me to an internet cafe...... :lol:

:o The horror! I would go nutso for sure!

The technician told me that she didn't see anything that would cause the enzymes to be elevated--no stones, liver looked clear. I still haven't heard the official word from the doctor though <_< Liver disease can cause the enzymes to be high, but they can also be elevated without disease. :huh:

I still wonder if the daily gluten cross contamination from the nuts could have caused them to be out of whack because one of the readings was elevated before I went gluten-free and it went back to normal after being on the diet for a few months. (probably wishful thinking...)

I just read that your Edna is working beautifully!! That's great, Julie! :D

I'm dealing with elevated liver enzymes too Patti <_< They are a pain in the behind!

I'm glad they didn't find anything to be alarmed about. I'm thinking they will just wait and retest in a few months??

Yes, my Edna is going well!! You were quite the inspiration when I was getting started :)

Well woke up the a beauuuuuuuuuuuuutifullllllllllllllllll cool sunny morning. :lol:

M-m--m-m....maybe they'll bring one tomorrow :rolleyes:

Yes, what a great dentist--what did he think of the quick-fix with the goalie pad? Mighty resourceful, I'd say ;):D

Omg! My MIL just passed on a tantalizing bit of info... One of her coworkers is Celiac, so we often trade tips and stuff. APPARENTLY there is a new Italian restaurant in Winston Salem that has a gluten-free menu- including rice pasta! :o Must get more info... all my MIL could remember is what road it's on- and there are literally probably a hundred little restaurants on that road.

This would be awesome (I can't truly believe it till I check it out) as all we have had before is an Outback (not even open for lunch) in Winston, and a PF Changs in Greensboro. We haven't even been to those two... they're kind of on the high end for our "typical" eating-out budget. Well... Brian and I used to go to Outback before we had kids. :P

I have no idea if this new place is high end or not... will report back when I check it out. :lol:

Heh... If a plant dies on me, I label it "one of those hard to grow types," and I try something else. :P So I have a jillion different irises and day lilies- they thrive so well here, they're actually very hard to kill if you want to get rid of them. Same thing with my gladiolas. For annuals, I love petunias... so satisfying, colorful, and they get huge over a summer. I actually had some come back this year from the ones I planted last year.

Although speaking of plants not acting right <_< I don't know what's going on with the dianthus I planted last year. They flowered gorgeously last year. This year, all the green growth is near the bottom, and everything at the top looks dead... and very few blooms. I guess I need to cut it back..?

I keep trying to get some pretty ground cover started in a few areas, and I'm having a hard time with that. My dirt is appalling. Hard, dry red clay, full of rocks. <_<

OK, I realize about half of you are gonna slap me for this whine, but...

This stupid frickin' Edna.

When I went gluten-free I lost a bunch of weight and had to get new clothes. Then, 6 week vacation, more weight, again new clothes. Now this stupid no-tasty-foods Edna - even my smallest pants are loose.

I know, I know, some part of me is happy that I'm healthier and all that crap, but this continual shopping thing just sucks.

Ok, thanks for letting me get that off my chest (I gotta get new bras for crimini's sake! Do you know how expensive those things are?!)

Back to work all.

Pretty much..... :D;):lol:

You may lose weight after your surgery, too. I lost 10 lbs in the first 6 weeks after and kept it off for quite a while....of course I eventually found it again.... <_<:PB)

I sort of assumed that. Most pain pills don't encourage eating.

I suppose on the upside I can force my friends to have another girls shopping trip. That was quite a bit of fun.

Not very often, but our winters are so mild, that sometimes they do. I have one single teeny little purple petunia growing bravely out front... but a bunch of them came back in one of my window boxes on the back deck! I was amazed. I had put four colors in that box last summer, and all four came back this year. This particular window box is one of those that has the water-it-from-the-bottom wells underneath. I think that's what did it. Every time it rained, it caught the water and kept the soil damp during the dry spells.

I've never got on with these (of course we've got completely different climes :rolleyes: )..but mine ended up looking 'messy'

Yeah, my dianthus look very messy right now. <_< And there's not even any blooms to make up for it.

Composted manure is the best!!! I use it in my beds, too... horses everywhere around here. (<giggle> That does sound funny.) Rehabililtating the soil in the bare areas on our land would be a huge job... sigh. I keep thinking if I can just get SOMETHING to grow in these wasteland areas, anything at all, that would help prevent erosion, which would be a step in the right direction.

I've also considered borrowing some horses and just letting them poop all over those areas. :lol: That would have to do something eventually!

Ooh--I love all this garden talk (furiously taking notes here :lol: )

I have a couple plants that I stick with--the ones I can't kill. ;) I'm in the process of putting in a perinneal garden--trying to anyway.....any thoughts on varieties that grow well in full sun?

I was considering a muumuu and a wide brimmed hat for such purposes, but was thrust back to reality to me jeans and t-shirts B)

Ok I am going to ask you guys a question and if you feel the need to get mad at me please do....

But do all of you guys buy organic? I still buy reg. foods.....just wondering once I hear your answers I will tell you why I asked...

jerseyangel Proficient

I will choose organic whenever possible but I don't go out of my way.

Why would I get mad at you for asking that? :huh:

      Yes, well, that's what we have been told, probably ever since the different types of cholesterol were identified. It's what most of our primary care providers are still telling us, it's what the commercials tell us. But researchers (up until now at any rate) have been learning a great deal about HDL. Nevertheless, the universe of what we still don't know about HDL is vast. And since I can sustain only a 35% level of understanding when I hear lectures on HDL, I will have to nutshell my layperson's understanding, which is that at this time, it's possible or likely that HDL-C levels are best understood as U-shaped, that there's a sweet spot right there in the dip of the "U" and anything before or after is not ideal. This is why I said what I did earlier about the "good" and the "bad" being oversimplifications. The research has long since moved on. There's a lot of talk about how the focus should be on functionality, that you want to make sure that all that HDL is performing how it should be. And now, that's it, I've exhausted my ability to explain my understanding of HDL!

      Hi, I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter..I would say she has had tantrums since even before she was a year old. Challenging but not extreme. Lately, her behavior had gotten extreme. Just so angry, yelling mean hateful things, completely defiant, was causing a lot of disruption in our house, I felt like I had lost the little girl I knew, we were baffled.   Something just didn’t seem right to me, I have been researching and read about how gluten can sometimes affect kids behavior. I took her off gluten a week ago tomorrow. The next couple days after I took her off gluten the days were much easier. About 4 days in she had one of the worst days I’ve seen her have tho. I kept on with it tho and the past two days she has been angelic. Is this common that if it is gluten that she could still have a bad day like that a few days after taking her off of it? Should I try to reintroduce it at some point to see if it’s really a gluten intolerance? I’m not gonna lie, if she continues with the great behavior she’s had the past couple days I will probably be scared to reintroduce it but don’t want her to have to avoid gluten if it’s not necessary. Anyone have advice?

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @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.
