Jess, thanks for the site so we could see what your avatar is! I was straining to read the tiny print. I know my eyes are pretty bad......but gee! Great root word....but not so sure I like words like "airhead", or maybe that's right because I can't remember any of the others! :blink:

Hey guys!! Question for the day....Just how does one hoist oneself above and beyond the seasonal doldrums? When people used to ask me if I'm ready for Christmas, I always replied that it would steam roller over me whether I was ready or not :P

I avoid the shopping craze by picking things up here and there through the year....so that's not it. I've already decorated the house (as much as we're going to) so it's bright and cheery...so that's not it. I'm just not sure how to break out of this particular brown bag!

You all help, though. Thanks for being here! ;)

Sounds like you need some Vitamin D. Or a full-spectrum lamp to sit under every day.

Ohhhhhh, so a pavlova is a yummy?!?! I thought it a alcoholic beverage :D

I had pavlova years ago--it was so good! As I remember, twas a sweet merange cloud, baked and served in juicy strawberries and topped wif whipped cream. That's how me SIL made it, anyway......and yes, come to think of it, twod be poifect fer our diet. :P

Don't tell the blue ad pholks, but I just phinished off a half tube of Stax :ph34r: In lieu of lunch.....I pheel I need to post a disclamer on me gluttony :lol:

Okay, am I the ONLY one on here with a HUGE, blaring caption at the bottom of the page asking me why my stomach's so fat? It's quite hilarious, really, if it were not so bossy and rude.. .. . . . .HUGE letters, again, like my MIL would write.. . ...

You think you guys have the Christmas doldrums, Tareesah and Leeeesa . . . ...imagine how you'd be pheeling with that being screamed at you every page!!

"Did you know that Chinese herbs can treat herpetiformis dermatitis"? You'd think they'd do a little research before they tried marketing this crap. I had the "5 steps to a flat belly" too. You know what? My boyfriend likes my squishy belly!!!!! So there!!!!!

There is a new development within the family that just might keep me amused this holiday. My husband's family will be having the family celebration the Sunday after Christmas. We asked my SIL, who is hosting it this year(I know I've already said this, but..YAY!) if it would be OK if we invited my brother. He doesn't have a family or a relationship. My SIL, said yes, and wanted to invite him herself. Well.......she is single....he is single......she's always thought he was cute. It seems she has plans to put the make on him! I can't picture them together, but this makes Lisa giggle! :rolleyes::P:lol:.......I kinda feel sorry for my bro, but he's a big boy.......he can handle it!

How to hoist oneself above and beyond the seasonal doldrums?....I just realized I spelled doldrums duldrums in my last post :lol: I much rather like "dull drums" because that's how one actually feels, like dull drums beating without any life or energy to the beat, very dull :rolleyes::lol: ........... I do not know Theresa :huh: maybe take one day at a time and try not to let the stress over take you and dont sweat the small stuff, maybe try to do something that brings you joy.

If that doesn't work, maybe a drink?!?!?! :lol:

Evening Sillies-

wow did that weekend fly by, yesterday we did the touch up paint at the house plus while there we picked out the paint colors for the rooms we wanted to paint before we moved in...Yeah!!!!!

last night we decided to tackle Christmas shopping, or more so browsing since we are strapped for some cash this year, but I guess who isn't..... We went to Ollies cause buying toys there is cheaper. I am not sure any other sillies besides Patti and Judy have been to an Ollies, since I believe it is a chain in our general areas. But it is kinda of like Big Lots only much more stuff like rugs and things.

Well they had Fisher-Paykel stainless steel side by side fridges at a great price. We are going back to purchase one. They are all new in box, with the exception of the floor model. All come with a 2-yr warranty too. I love the Fisher-Paykel appliances, they are just a little pricey.

Today we bummed around a bit. Tonight is the giants game, I am working on a new puzzle John got me. So I will work on that and cheer the team on :)

Gawd Jess--yer holiday spread made me mouth water! I'm Italian, so we always had a meatless Christmas Eve. Meatless, but phar from a "fast": of any sort :P In the days leading up to Christmas Eve, my aunt and I would make about a dozen pies (literally), and christmas cookies. On the night of, we'd start wif deep fried smelt <drool> (and beer, if you were old enough--in our phamily, this meant about 13 :P) and then just tons of phood like baccala (salt cod), linguini wif clams, pasta wif squid (red) sauce, pasta fazool, antipasto, and salads. Me grandpa would make roasted chestnuts, too. We'd sit down to eat around 6 or so and not get up till it was time to get ready for midnight mass.

REALLY makes me wish I were Italian, or something interesting with strong cultural traditions but NO, we're just super-boring white people.......I don't even think I can remember a tradition, except opening one gift on Christmas eve :huh:

But Soooozie, if a twelve year-old can can sit through it four times (and she did, silently and patiently :wub: ), you absolutely can, too!

gawd, that poor Sophie - a horrifying tale..... :( But she made it! I'm not scared of the pain.....I'm scared of the freakin' COST :angry:

and YAY! A tie!!!!!!!!!! Yay Sophie!!!!!!!!!!! :)

      @plumbago, I found a good PDF on cholesterol:  Unlocking the mysteries of VLDL: exploring its production, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism as therapeutic targets I just started it, but it may have answers for us, with whacky cholesterol.  The pharmaceuticals don't seem to be interested in anything but statins.   "The nicotine in tobacco causes a decrease in the HDL cholesterol level. " Maybe you should start smoking? 🤪 I have high LDL and low HDL.  It is genetic mutations in the LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, or LDLRAP1 genes. My whole family is on statins for Familial Hyperliperdemia except me.  December I had ultrasound and cat scan for Carotid Artery blockage and both sides are above 85% blockage.  I started on Atorvastatin and that made me weaker than ever, even with CoQ10.  I asked for and got prescription for 2000 mg/day Nicotinic Acid B3 and in the 3 weeks my numbers changed. I am feeling realy good lately.  Stronger and more flexible.  Sleeping better.  Getting roto router (TCar) as soon as I get clearance from a cardiologist.  I expect that by my next blood panels in April to be even better. I am beginning to believe that like vitamin D where the RDA only accounts for preventing Rickets, the RDA for B3 is way underestimated.   From Oct 22 to Jan 17: A1c from 13.5 to 10.2 eGFR from 55 to 79 Triglyeride from 458 to 362 Total cholesterol from 245 to 264 HDL from 27 to 44 VLDL from 84 to 68 LDL from 134 to 154

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.
    • trents
      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.
    • knitty kitty
      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.
