oh dear gaaaaaaaaaaawd Richard....between this and the Phhhhhhabio photo, you are killing me!!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

ninja gardening....hmmm....lots of digging in hardpan clay, and my back is killing me...maybe I DO need Fabio but he looks too much like a sissy man to do the digging - might get a scratch or ruin his manicure :lol:

Well, you didn't mention you were looking for help in the garden I wouldn't have sent Fabio or Gary (he's the male Glenn Close) Steven hasn't seen his toes in a while so he's not much help either....

Maybe this guy could help. He looks like a hard worker.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Gary's teeth...it's his head that is all wrong...I think it is caving in from all the baking powder he snorted...

I figured they would beat up Fabio first... :rolleyes:

I'm hoping they would scare off the attack geese. D*mned things, I've got feathers everywhere!

Richard, are you referring to the auxigro protective geese :blink::lol:

Beverly- love the picture of you and your sweet dog :)

Karen I love your kitty picture too, hysterical. Bad hair day for sure!

Melannen, so good to see your smiling face :)

Yes Carla, we must see the braces. How long do you have to have them on for?

They say about two years ... but if I'm good with my rubber bands, it can shorten the time to about 18 months. I think I'm going to be pretty obsessive about wearing my rubber bands!! The system my ortho uses is www.damonbraces.com. He won't use the white ones because the brackets fail, so I have the stainless steel ones.

At first glance I thought that link said "demon braces" :lol::lol:

That shouldn't be too bad, hopefully it will go fast for you. When I was younger I had to have braces, twice, my teeth kept shifting, the little devils. Not fun, but I got through it.

True story...2 summers agoI reshingled my roof on what turned out to be the hottest week of the year. I burn easily, so I didn't take my shirt off (sorry ladies). I worked ffrom sun-up to sun-down for like 4 straight days (alone :( ) at the end of the first day when I was taking a shower the water hit my...er..."lower" back and I just about jumped thru the ceiling. I had burned my upper "ars" because my shirt rode up and my jeans went south...talk about uncomfortable... :blink:

:lol: My true story... was going to fly to see all my old buddies and wanted to look good... so tanned ALOT... and wore my usual bathing suit (similar to what that constuction worker was wearing) :ph34r: but wanted to do the... ha ha look I am so much tanner then you... so used oil and was out on the island... fell asleep tummy down.... I couldn't even hardly sit on the plane... and when I got there had to wear sun dresses and nothing else...ohhh and I did get a ha ha but it was on me.... :lol:

My cousin (a flabby 250lb. male) heard somewhere (in the 1980's) that you could use mayonaise to tan, so he slathered himself in Miracle Whip and sizzled all afternoon and smelled like garbage for about 3 days!

Right now I think they are demon braces ... I can't eat anything! I'm supposed to eat protein and veggies, so I guess I'll be living on scrambled eggs and avocodoes! What's that going to do to my digestive system??!!

Ewwww!! That reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer slathers himself w/butter and goes tanning :P

Do they just hurt? Or are you being a good girl and following the rules? I was so bad when I had mine, I think I broke every rule in the book...3 times :rolleyes::D

I hope they start feeling better soon! Mine were always really sore for about 3 days after I had them adjusted

So sorry they hurt Carla :( . I guess you could cook the heck out of the veggies and then puree them, kind of like baby food, brace food.

My favorites..."Festivus, for the rest of us..."

and..."Serenity NOW!!"

All of Kramer's "big ideas" cracked me up. The one with the stronger shower head :lol: or the man bra :lol: Or was that George's dad that came up with that one??

my favorite - Kenny Rogers' Roasters, right under Kramer's apt.....and the sign blowing out at the end, Kramer in the bed with his chicken, and his plaintive cry: "...Kenny? Kenny....." :lol::lol:

the manzier - invented by Mr. Costanza, I think.....is that the one where they're playing pool with their pants off (a la The Maestro), and Estelle Costanza walks in? :lol: maybe a different one......

the manzier (or the bro) appears in the episode about the doorman. Mrs. Costanza walks in on Kramer helping Mr. Costanza try it on :lol:

Doesn't he get a tan, artificial tan, from the light? Or something like that? Kramer is my favorite character.

No soup for you!!

Who can forget George running from the bathroom to the phone, with his pants around his ankles, falling face first on the floor--and Jerry walks in and says "and you want to be my new latex salesman!"

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
