Does he live in FL or is that beach bum remark entirely attire-related?

He's lived there most of his life.........and it's not just his attire.............his hair is all the same length........almost to his shoulders.........and thick............always in his face :rolleyes::D

& the story behind it!

Open Original Shared Link

Tom --what an amazing article. I'd heard you speak of your brother but didn't really now the story behind it.

Love the whole idea of the ....bench you can go and sit on..... :)

Had a lovely dinner with my parents, and it is true....I am SO unbelievably blessed to still have them both here, both in their eighties, and both mentally sharper than anyone around....sharper than ME, fer sure.....

My dad is fading physically, however. :(:( Parkinson's. His gait is very slow, his tremors are quite bad down one side, and yet here he is....this old man, shaking and trundling along, and when he opens his mouth it brings tears to my eyes, because the room is suddenly filled with his booming broadcaster's voice, crackling with wit and energy.....such a dichotomy. It is searingly painful to see him decline quickly in the ravages of his illness, and have his sharp, cool mind raging against it all....

Sorry....I digress from all things silly....Mom and Dad just left, and it's all fresh in my heart......

Ah, Emily, won't make you tear up. Just happy for you.

Yes it's sad to see the decline but you'll be there for them and that's what counts....

I"m off again......keep running around to visit people so as not to have to be here :(

Happy for you Susie Q !

What ever it takes to get you out of the house :D

Went to visit him last fall. He was bragging about the great deal he got on the name-brand shorts he was wearing.....................he didn't realize that they said *sample* across the top of his butt!!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

What a riot.......... reminds me of when my hubby was protesting his 'independent nature' when he was working for the gov....he grew a pony tail.

He had to cut it off when his arthritic shoulder and elbow would allow him to reach up to put the rubber band on it. :lol: How old is your dad. God i hope we aren't your dad's age. :o:lol:

ok Patti......let's see if this works.

Oh Emmy, honey, if love could only make our wishes happen. Your dad's body is only here to hold his gift to the world. It's only the wrapping paper that's getting tattered; the amazing being that is your father is still, and will always, be here. Not only has he given joy and laughter to untold numbers of his fans, he's given us you. And you have given us Jack. The world is a better place because of him.

Morning, Silly Ones!

I was just reading the results of the Flugtag competition in the paper. We didn't stay for the entire event, and missed the big winning team from Vancouver's performance. Their pilot flew a huge craft in the shape of a NYC yellow cab about 100 metres above the Ottawa River before it crashed into the drink. Second prize went to a flying lighthouse I was thinking of you, Amanda! :) Such, simple, plebian things that make up our family life...... :lol:

Went to visit him last fall. He was bragging about the great deal he got on the name-brand shorts he was wearing.....................he didn't realize that they said *sample* across the top of his butt!!!!!

:lol:

....I often feel like a sample...... . .of what, or whom, I haven't deciphered as yet.... . .. :lol::unsure:

Fathers and phunny clothing......

How many of you have lived with the abomination of white socks with oxfords? Mygawd, the absolute bane of my mother's existence, and something she stopped my father from doing well before I was born. But I have heard about it constantly thoughout my life, during the many times we would happen by a man wearing this dreaded combination, often with dark pants (the crowning heinosity)....Mom would ALWAYS quietly comment to me, her voice strained with consternation, "Dear gawd. That man does not have a responsible wife to set him straight on such paramount things".........

:rolleyes:

I'M probably closer to YOUR age! :P My dad is, I believe, 70 years old.

Wow, Lisa! Your dad is SO young! Double lucky, you is! :)

.....Is he a Scorpio, by chance?

:wub::wub::wub:

Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. I have a little whispering voice right now, barely able to speak. Thank you SO MUCH for this, Jess. Your perfect, wise words will be passed along to Jack as I will show them to him. This is fitting for your poignant message of passing along life's great things.

Dad is a tremendous gift, simply with old, tattered wrapping. 'Tis so true. :)

Jo, I cannot help but be completely swept into your stream-of-consciousness musings.....Have you read Joyce's Ulysses? You remind me so of Stephen Dedalus- - phunee, convoluted, magical...... :D

Yes, this looking-into-a-kleenex-after-blowing is a macabre act that confounds me. I blow, scrunch up and immediately throw away.

Never had to examine own fecal matter. Thank GAWD. :rolleyes:<_<

      @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...

      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...

      @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.

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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: A composite protein enriched with threonine, lysine, and tryptophan improves osteoporosis by modulating the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41915427/

      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!
