Oh yeah, I like Harrison Ford too! I even liked him in "Regarding Henry" where he got shot in the head and became a nice guy. And I loved him in Star Wars and in The Witness. I like the remake of Sabrina and the original with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart.

Did you see the one called "Random Hearts" with Harrison Ford? Omgosh, I loved that movie. Also, what about the oldies? Anyone a Woody Allen fan--the old Woody--like Manhattan? One of my all-time favorites is a movie by Woody Allen-he isn't in it-Mia Farrow stars in it, called "Alice" William Hurt is in it and it is soo funny. I don't know anyone else that knows that movie--Anyone???

Alfred Hitchcock's "The Lady Vanishes" and "The Thirty-Nine Steps!"

Oh yeah, Hitchcock, now were talking my language, lol. I love "Rear Window" , and the ones with Cary Grant--(brain fog here tonight, lol) "North by Northwest"? and ooooh, "Suspicion" .

I collect all the oldies, and cannot remember them half the time, so each one is a "new" experience after a couple of years, lol.

Can't be age, can it???!

Isn't Woody Allan doing comedies? I HATE comedies, and never watch them. :rolleyes: I like movies that have funny parts, as well as sad etc., you know, like real life. But I can't stand a movie that is supposed to be funny all the way through.

One problem may be, that in movies I think parts are funny that others think are not, and when they're laughing I wonder why. :unsure: So, in comedies I wonder 'why' all the way through. :blink:

Robbin....no...have never heard of it.....sounds very random - - Woody Allen - I think I can handle him for about 15 minutes and that's it. :huh: Except I think there WERE some of his movies that were more entertaining than others...can't remember what they were - yup, brain fog :blink:

North by Northwest - OMG that was fantastic - all the Hitchcosks - haven't seen any in years.

Um, the one I just watched? Syriana? I have absolutely NO idea what it was about...who was who......who worked for what agency...I watched it 1.5 times and STILL had no idea what was going on..... :lol::lol::lol: but I think it was really good....really well-done....I just don't know what it was about

Carla - will lift the color all the way this time - - my hair - I am a very dark brunette (well - it's half-gray now) and it always turns slightly reddish - I hate that! A man complimented my "auburn/reddish" hair the other day, and I said, wait, does it really look reddish?? Dang. :angry: in certain light, it does...

Am so scared to do highlights...... :o

I just had my hair dyed auburn/reddish! The bottom part anyway. The top has reddish lowlights. But she had to add my normal ash blonde color (a level 7 for those who know that kind of thing) to the auburn so it didn't turn orange with all that bleach we had been using. But next time I get the pure red color. Well, with some blonde highlights.

Susan--I have dark brown hair, and used to have it highlighted. The stylist used to have to bleach the hair to be highlighted until it was the color of spaghetti--it took a little longer than she always thought and she had to keep checking it until it was right. You have to be so careful not to turn orange :o

You are all so brave to color your hair! I'm afraid it will make it fall out more if I do anything. But now I'm getting a little gray around the temples and a bit in my bangs, I'm considering trying something. I have regular brown hair with a few blond and red highlights, brought out by the summer sun. Any suggestions on what I should try? I would have my friend, who is a hairdresser, do it for me. She isn't good at coming up with ideas though, just does what I ask.

When mine doesn't process as fast, my stylist puts me under a hair dryer. Heat helps.

Be forewarned, bleach is pretty damaging ... that's what got me away from it. You might want to just lift it with some color.

I have no business doing this myself..... :lol::lol::lol:

Liz, definitely get your friend to do it.....if I had tons of money, I'd have it done every four weeks, but that is $100 a month....makes me mad and so I WANT to figure out how to do it MYSELF!! :angry:

Susan, yeah, he has a ranch here in Hunt country, I don't know about his wife, but he co-owns a restaurant in The Plains, not far from me. I haven't had the nerve to "spy" though, lol. By golly, though, I might go to the restaurant some time soon and see if he is hanging out there. My neighbor said he is there pretty often in the winter.

Hey, red hair--omgosh-I have auburn hair and the only thing I have found to tone it down is the ash browns. Any lighter and I am Ronald McD red! A friend of mine just colored her hair the most hideous shade of red -looks like raggedy ann red, lol. She thinks it is funny and plans on keeping it. She is kind of an "out there" gal anyway :lol:

Oh, and remember Susan, IT STAINS WALLS!!!!

I would just do some highlights a shade or two lighter than your natural shade around the face. Maybe even pick two colors, on two shades lighter, one one shade lighter. Definatley be sure it's done where the grey is. :) And definately have your friend do it!! I wouldn't do much more than that. Of course ... we haven't seen your picture!!

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
