Oh heavens no! Not Camel Poops! It's much too drab there.

We live in the Slocan Valley about 45 minutes drive from Nelson ... or Castlegar, depends which way you turn at the junction.

I hear a Hyesterectomy isn't quite as envasive as it used to be. I had one years ago. I hope the recovery is shorter now!

Would you believe my mom had a total in 1946 .... could you imagine the surgery then! She almost didn't recover. :(

Yes, hysterectomies now they do through the navel not like mine 2o years ago. Ah Nelson, home of the Freedomite Dukabours...they should have taught you how to get your clothes off and dance naked. Yes, I would not wish to live in Camel Poops, it is always depressing there unlike othe places in BC.

Psst, I think Thor drank all of my champagne that drunken sot of a cat.

Probably, like most other things, they've streamlined the whole procedure. I will come home after only 2 days--but the total recouperation is still about 6 weeks.

Wow--1946, I imagine it was much more dangerous then.

Yes, the old sect of doukabours have pretty much died out now. The younger ones just get into mischief out of bordom and then blame the religion.

When we moved here 30 years ago though there were signs in all the school staff room about what to do in case of a bombing. That was scary with our kids going there.

But it is a very beautiful place of lakes and rivers and golf courses :lol:

Oh ... does that mean that I have to give Sheba some wine to catch up with the drunken cat? How about cat nip, did your cats get some for Christmas?

Yup, 1946 surgery was pretty primitive. Mom had scars across her whole belly. I was born at home and the drunken old doctor didn't clean her out properly, so she got gangarine in the womb. That must have been terrible. Imagine, three kids and all that at the age of 20! Wow.

Anyway, we must go on to something much more festive.

Six weeks is normal recovery on a hysterectomy but the operation isn't as severe.

When I was a kid all the Dukabours used to take off their clothes and burn their houses because they said god told them to do that. He never told them to do it in the winter though.

Save me, save me..........I won't make it. I think that I'm going to bail.

What better a night to talk to some great buds with jammies on. Toast the new year and send wishes for good health, fortune and happiness to all of you. Kisses to you on the midnight hour. :)

A wonderfu new year to all of you.

Yes, the last fire they set was about 3 years ago, but it was a government building here in the valley that Selkirk college uses, or used, they distroyed it.

Their homes were common, and like you said, always when it was warm enough to rebuild. :lol: But all government property was fair game as well.

And when that happened you had a court room full of naked people ... mostly women. Strange, I would have thought women had more sense. :rolleyes:

Yes, working tomorrow is a bummer.

We are going out to the local restaurant for dinner. A friend owns it and does a nice safe dinner for me.

2 1/2 hours left here. :lol:

Dinner out sounds nice! I'm still leary of eating out. That's actually one of my resolutions--to get out more and back into life a bit.

Wow, for triple pay, i would work too! Good for you .... Hope it's not a hard day though

We go out a fair amount. There is a Chinese restaurant in Nelson that makes gluten free Chinese food, including chow mein, sweet and sour pork, chicken balls, fried rice etc. And quite a few of their soups are gluten free, and best of all gluten free fish and chips that are better than the normal ones!

M-m-m, that gluten-free Chinese food sounds wonderful! I could go for some right now, actually! :P

Me too, but they don't deliver this far out :(:lol:

Anyway, we will go into Nelson sometime in the next week or two and then I will have some :rolleyes:

I haven't been off the property since the 18th ... it's time to go out and do something.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
