Morning, Sillies!

Canada's women's soccer team is presently playing China..... . . think we may get badly beaten... . .China is one strong team..... . .

Hi, Jin! What a beautiful little rabbit!

"May you live in interesting times." For those of us who moderate here, it has been "interesting times" for the last 24 hours or so.

Mygawd.........It's not ME causing you trouble, is it, PeOter?.... . . . ..... :huh::unsure:

... . ...is it something I said??... . . . . . ..... ;)<_<

I want to second Judy's thank you to you, PeOter. Moderating is a thankless job, and this forum is very lucky to have you. :)

Great that you've got help on the way at your store. This will keep the freight train at bay.

I went for my annual follow-up visit with the ophthalmologist today. I had some problems with Open Original Shared Link which required minor laser surgery in February of 2004. Today's examination shows no change from four years ago. :) (So far, this is the only sign of complications--an enlarged blood vessel in one eye.)

Excellent, Peoter....your eyes are holding steady after four years! I'm always holding my breath when I go to my yearly appointment with my diabetes eye specialist, waiting for news of the first complication signs. So far, so good..... . . . .

PeOter, methinks you should put up an avatar a la Jess and Janet - - a big shot of your eye, so we can see how healthy it is. :huh::lol:

Canada just scored!!!!!!! :):)

o. k. already you are THE QUEEN . i'll give you that one ....... or is it a voting thing .. queens could be voted in ......no? do we need campagaining ... give us your "if i am elected" , speach.....and get ready with your thanks for voting me in aceptace one too.

There is quite a complex system of ascention here, Jo. Quite an involved process involving lineage charts, DNA testing....... . . eventually, it ends up being whoever is the first poster of the flipover page at the hundred mark.... . . . . . :rolleyes:

China scored..............! Tied at one..................... . . . . . :o:unsure:

Dropping in for a quick visit. I'm current on reading, but don't have much silly in me to share. There is an ancient Chinese curse, I believe, that goes something like, "May you live in interesting times." For those of us who moderate here, it has been "interesting times" for the last 24 hours or so. :angry:

I was going to mention today how there are some major egos and attitudes around the forum lately . . . yowsa . . . and as I have been following some of the hostility dialogue, I find things phunnie that I probably shouldn't :P Oh well, my sense of humoUr has gotten me into trouble before, I'm sure it will again.

Peter glad the eye appt went well . . . so maybe you can start paying your doc bills in dog food.

MAYBE you can heal his dog with your food and he can heal your eye bulbs......... :lol: yes i meant 'bulbs' trying to bring some humor here.

love all you guys

judy

:lol::lol::lol: - Totally tickled my tummy that Judy had to tell us that she meant to say 'bulbs'!!!

I want to second Judy's thank you to you, PeOter. Moderating is a thankless job, and this forum is very lucky to have you. :)

Wow . . . way to totally ignore the other moderators on this thread, Emily!!! Do you really want to do that in these "troubled" times??? For my part, I think ALL of you moderators do a fantastic job!!! :brown-noserface:

(Did you see how I did that, Emily??? You just don't mention names. You group them all together and then you don't get in trouble for leaving anyone out!! Remember a little less than a year ago when Bev left me out of a "What everyone was doing at the party" list . . . see how I still haven't gotten over it?? . . . :lol::lol::lol: )

PeOter, methinks you should put up an avatar a la Jess and Janet - - a big shot of your eye, so we can see how healthy it is. :huh::lol:

:lol::lol: - Yes!! Go fer it!!!

Em - Love the new Gusatar!!

Jin - Boomer looks adorable!! - My neighbor (I'm guessing mid to late 50's) broke down and got herself a bunny not too long ago . . . she's a sweetheart . . . both the neighbor and the bunny.

P.S. How is Amanda's husband doing? The last I was on here, he had just lost his friend in a car wreck and was severely depressed. I hope he is doing better. Such things are difficult to recover from. I have some great things I got in e-mail that I will try to post soon for everyone.

Hi Jin- nice to see you again. John is doing better. It's been about 2 months now. Thanks for thinking about us. :) Cute bunny!

i'm in but it could be costly for me....no? coming from hawaii? what state are you in ? ha .. ha... or was it uk or canada?

We live in PA--and work in Hershey where the chocolate isn't soo good anymore ;)

Hi everyone else! My parents will be here very soon.

I went for my annual follow-up visit with the ophthalmologist today. Today's examination shows no change from four years ago. :)

It's a small world. She looked, and sure enough, the computer had a record of Dr K buying food and being served by her.

Yes interesting times Peter....can't we all just get along?!?!?!? Wishful thinking I guess <_< Glad yer appt went well, phunny coincidence about yer Dr shopping at yer store :lol:

And I second and third and fourth the THANKS to all the moderators, tis not an easy job when there are so many differences of opinion and clashing personalities.

I wanted to share my good news with you all. Mom got me a bunny! :) He is so adorable! Boomer is his name.

Hi Jin :) I thought you named the bunny Peekaboo :huh:

Boomer is very cute too, that's what I named one of my bunnies :lol:

:lol: Janet, how's the knee?

Well I watched the opening ceremonies, unfortunately my local station had a lot of technical difficulties due to a mjor storm we had last night and the sound kept going out, I was quite bummed. But WOW what a visual feast for the eyes it was.

Emily, what was the thing you were talking about the one in the middle controlling it?? I kept looking for something in the middle, but had no idea what I was looking for :lol::lol::lol:

Wondering how the Schmoozle and the Weeze fared last night, anxiously awaiting how they rated them in comparison to year's past..........

Oooooohhhh......must go search out these explosive threads. So fascinating to be a bumbling outsider and peek into these worlds of clashing opinion, opposing intellects, feet-stamping, sabre-rattling.....and I never know what in hell's going on...... :huh:<_<:rolleyes:

Emily, what was the thing you were talking about the one in the middle controlling it?? I kept looking for something in the middle, but had no idea what I was looking for :lol:

:lol::lol: You know that unbelievable grid with the hundreds of moving squares that went like a wave, then spirals, then Chinese characters, all incredibly timed and flowing? Of course we know NOW that each of those squares had a person under it, moving it up and down with staggering precision, as they all burst up and began waving at the very end. Well, I thought at first that the squares were being moved by a computer somewhere....it never occurred to me that people could actually do this, so precisely. During the performance, our announcer mentioned that it was individual people under each square, kneeling, crouching, then standing and crashing back down at the exact moments needed.

Now, was I just a dolt? :lol: Did everyone else know from the very beginning that there were li'l people under those things? :rolleyes::huh:

Judy! We got big eyes for avatars.......I keep thinking about yer cauliflower ear......could you post a close-up of it as your av? :lol:

I love the story about your flag-bearer....the Sudanese refugee. What a beautiful face, smiling into the crowd, and what a horrific childhood.... . .now he stands to win a gold medal. Those are the real stories of the Olympics....... :):)

I think she's been on the news, although not recently. I remember a story about a woman in (Snohomish county?) who rescued a horse that she felt was show quality.

Volleyball here as well. My friends daughter plays VB at almost a professional level. He was telling me about the incredible subtleties that make excellent players - varying the delivery position by millimeters, looking one direction while sending the ball elsewhere, that sort of thing. I want to see if I can spot any of these tricks.

Oh . . . and the knee . . . I think I'm doing pretty good. Got major kudos from the doc and PT at my appts on Thursday. Sometimes it feels great and then a couple of hours later much much worse . . . comes and goes . . . have to keep an glittery eye on the swelling.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.
