Went to San Francisco yesterday, boy was it a mob scene. I guess it was fleet week. I went with my mom and brother to meet a cousin I hadn't seen since we were kids. Had a great time.

What are bumble bars? ;)

Hi Julie! I see you posting!

Hello Susan: I see you lurking!!!!

Hi Liz

Hi Robbin

Where is everyone tonight?

I know, it does seem rather quiet tonight, all day actually.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am watching the game.

Wow, it is quiet!

I'm just getting ready to go for a walk with my daughter. We're taking a flashlight because we keep seeing coyotes in our neighborhood. I think they want our puppy for dinner, so we won't take him. I love crisp, fall evenings. You all must live east of here, since it's just getting to be evening here now.

Andrea - an off the wall question. Is Lingonberries Market worth a drive from Federal Way?

Hmmm, well that would depend on what you are looking for. They sell all sorts of brands.....namaste, gluten-free bakery, kinnikinnick, amy's, etc. I really don't know all the brands.

They carry frozen kinnikinnick, enjoy life, food for life, amy's, rice dream desserts, ians' (is that the gluten free brand), frozen salmon burgers (forget brand), applegate hotdogs, frozen fruit (I think)....I don't remember everything.

Many flour mixes etc, dessert mixes, vance's darifree, cereal, gluten-free oats, muir glen tomatoes, tinkyada and other pastas, some soups, bars (like lara and bumble etc.), cookies, chips, chocolate, some freeda vitamins, the flavorings for coffee, latte's etc, canned beans, other houshold products (but I forget what they are).

Anyway, with the cost of gas it would depend on what you needed/wanted that you couldn't find up there. He's willing to try and get whatever you want. I asked him to carry 5 lb bags of enjoy life chocolate chips....he just got some in (they won't ship those in the hot weather). I really like the store and the owner is super friendly. Of course, if you come down this way, you could stop off for lunch or something. We are about 1 mile off the freeway....about 1/2 hour north of Lingonberries.

Just got back inside from letting out a few good howls at the moon...... :rolleyes:;)

I better behave for two reasons:

1) I don't have my Altoids - gave them to Mom at the hospital to help her heartburn.

2) I wouldn't want to offend anyone who might faint or swoon at the sight of anything even hinting at racy...

A BOSS WALKED INTO THE OFFICE ONE MORNING NOT KNOWING THAT HIS ZIPPER

WAS DOWN AND HIS FLY AREA IS WIDE OPEN

HIS SECRETARY WALKED UP TO HIM AND SAID "BOSS THIS MORNING WHEN YOU

LEFT

YOUR HOUSE, DID YOU CLOSE YOUR GARAGE DOOR?"

THIS WAS NOT A PHRASE THAT HER BOSS UNDERSTOOD, SO HE WENT INTO HIS

OFFICE LOOKING A BIT PUZZLED

WHEN HE WAS ABOUT DONE WITH HIS PAPERWORK HE SUDDENLY NOTICED THAT HIS

ZIPPER WAS NOT ZIPPED UP

HE ZIPPED UP AND REMEMBERING WHAT HIS SECRETARY HAS TOLD HIM, FINALLY

UNDERSTOOD . THEN HE INTENTIONALLY WENT OUT TO ASK FOR A CUP OF COFFEE

FROM HIS SECRETARY.

WHEN HE REACHED HER DESK, HE SAID

"WHEN YOU SAW THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN DID YOU SEE MY Hummer PARKED IN

THERE?"

THE SECRETARY SMILED FOR A MOMENT AND SAID "

"NO, SIR I DIDN'T,, ALL I SAW WAS A MINI COOPER WITH 2 FLAT TIRES"

These jokes certainly have me laughing. Thanks :)

lonewolf, I don't know where you live, but you do know that the coyotes can jump an 8" fence. And if they run in packs, they are not afraid of humans and would take your puppy away from you. So, that is great that you left him at home. But, the packs also will run in the daytime, not just at night. We have a pack running about 3 miles from us and since they move around, I am extra cautious when my toy poodle goes out. We have a 6" wall and it would mean nothing if a coyote smelled her scent. But, they beat the small scorpion I found in the hall two days ago. My dog was sniffing at it. Just what I would need is her to get bit by one. She already gets her yearly rattlesnake shot. I still love the desert :)

Hey Metta/Ostrich/Hamster Face: Okay, a bit confoozed here...... why would it be so hard for a coyote to jump a 6" or 8" fence? Are they coyotes from Lilliput? :huh:

Hi Tavi- Hhow are ya? Did you see the Blue Angels in Sf?

Hi Beverly:

Well, I went to San Francisco to see a cousin I hadn't seen in probably 35 years and while we were fisherman's warf the blue angels were flying. It was really beautiful. I had never seen them fly before and it was just amazing watching all they could do!

I know, it does seem rather quiet tonight, all day actually.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am watching the game.

Hi Julie:

Fleet week I think is where they open up all the ships from WWII and people can walk through them. Should of seen all the sailors, although some of them looked to be about 12!

OMG, these are just hilarious. You have me laughing so hard, that my dog is looking at me strangely.

Karen. the coyotes find it easy to jump a fence up to 8' high. And Floridian, Bitsy has not had a snake bite yet, but they have a yearly shot that would prevent her from dying if she got bit and so I spend a fortune for that yearly shot. It would give me time to get her to the vet's. Because of her size, she would not make it otherwise. Rattlesnakes have been found in a couple of the townhomes yards. And she is curious enough to go within striking distance.

BTW, this thread is more funny then the full moon one. I can't believe how you all remember these jokes. Keep them coming. Of course, I am going to bed real soon, but I will read the rest in the morning.

OMG, I guess it is time I was going to bed. An 8" fence would probably be too high for me to jump right now :lol: .

The joke that really had me rolling in the aisles is Pinnochio. I had to leave my beloved computer and go tell hubby that one. Then he had to tell me to stop laughing as he can't hear the football game.

You wouldn't have a problem with the fence - you have ostrich legs, remember? :D:P:lol:

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?
