Morning Sillies

Another Monday another work week....it is rough for me I had a few days off....but alas here I am again. Our cat has been acting strange since we got home Saturday night...so we might end up taking him to the vet. Last night I woke up at 3:30 in the morning and he was curled up in a ball sleeping in between my legs, I am a side sleeper. I knew he had been there since 1...and when I moved positions he just moved with me. I woke up though since he made me too warm since I sleep with a blanket on...John loves to crank the central air!

So its off to start some work now.

Bye Sillies!

:unsure::blink::huh: Sounds like another thread is invading Sillyville again!! :lol:

Yeah--it's safe here....and I just had to say it :lol:

What thread is this? I wanna see!

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

Into the drink! :lol: My mom says that, such a great phrase.

Johnsmom's cracking me up! I, unlike Em, do constantly inspect what comes out of my nose (as well as my children's noses.) I think it comes from having chronic sinus infections. There's a whole color code, you know.

Clear/white is always ok.

Yellow usually means I've been dusting a lot.

Brown is evidence that I've been helping my dad in the woodworking shop.

Mellow green means a sinus infection has arrived.

Neon green means the pine pollen is high.

:D

I thought about you last night! :D

I must admit, although I liked both of them very much, I was slightly leaning towards Matt. I think because I thought he was a little more at ease on camera.

We enjoyed the show, though--what did you think of it?

Did you watch the Designer's Challenge (?) right after?

Gawd yes! (shudders)....there was a period of time shortly after I went gluten-free that this would happen to me too. :o I would be fine one minute, and then I literally had about 10 seconds to get to the bathroom.....I always made it IN there, but not always in time to get me jeans down :ph34r:

Thank Gawd that this didn't last long fer me--poor Judy having it last months :(

But ya gotta admit--we're a hardy bunch! :D

I remember those days, I was working at the time and the bathroom was not only in the back of the lab but I could not leave my area unattended....I called off alot that spring/summer. It was another year and I got my job here. Besides that day in March and last Weds....those were my 2 call-offs in 2008. What a few years can do. I almost feel like myself again....I missed me!!!!!

That is just a MARVELLOUS idea Ptaum!!! :)

"I think I'll call him ring him up" ( ;) to the Brit) then the ph rang and it's HIM!!>>>>>

You would just ring him (no 'up') ;) OR

Give 'im a bell :D

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)

Well at least he hasn't worn sandals with socks....... :unsure: ....has he????

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. :)

:mellow:

GADS!! Jess is going to HAVE to put a warning on these heartfelt, emotionally charged word bloody perfect posts!!!!!!

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............................

Freshly showered and one leg shaved!!!

One's better than none I always say.. ......yer just be careful you don't trip up on the other leg's hair and do yer other knee in :lol:

Lisa!! Love your new av of your Dad!! :D

MYGAWD!!! Judy's doing quotes AND her hubby had a pony tail??? :unsure: .....ROCK & ROLL!!!!!! :lol:

Thanks all for the comments on my brother. :wub:

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

Here???? oh .. ..There

Good to see a poop-in. :)

Lisa had a phlipover to 400 . ...no phluidistic catastro-fee??

I'm just here chuckling along to the silliness & pausing to admire Jess' words.

<again!> :)

You would just ring him (no 'up') ;)

D'oh!!! No "up"???

I coulda swore these UKers I used to work w/ would add the "up". One english, tho originally from up north, did spend years in London. A few others Irish & all from County Cork, me ancestral home. ;)

I liked them both too! There were alot of really nice likeable contestants this season I thought, the only one I didn't like was that one girl, see don't even remember her name :lol: I was actually kind of shocked Trish didn't make it to the final though.

I would have been happy with whoever won last night.

I missed Designer's Challenge because I watch Army Wives at that time, but I am sure they will reair it sometime and I'll try to catch it then, it looked interesting.

Tom, I just read the article. That sounds really neat what they are doing to honor your brother. Are you going to be able to go to the dedication ceremony?

How are you doing with all the new supplements?

Oy .. ..now they don't know when the rockcutter will finish turning that boulder into a bench. Seems like no chance of holding to the original Aug8 scheduled dedication.

If I were back to work already, I think I'd be going up, but at this point it feels fiscally irresponsible. :(

Just finally started all the supps yesterday :) - couldn't wait any longer for possible adverse effects from the milk in the one. Seems ok, so off we go.

I might have to get back into the OMG thread. ;)

I was just re-reading the article, Ptaoughmghmn....just a terrific story. Pat sounded like a man that everybody would love to get to know. :)

Perhaps if the dedication is held off for a while, you may get there...(?)... .. .

Did you guys see that Christina Applegate has breast cancer? I was reading that this morning. She is very young for that type of cancer.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
