My mom bought each of us a guardian angel visor clip that says Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.

I got guardian angel visor clips to, not for christmas but a few months ago, mine is the praying hands but it dont say anything. My hair keeps getting stuck in it when i sit to far up lol.

I can say with the wedding and a few other things one of our credit card bills is high....and scary high from my viewpoint. I would like to get rid of it. I am thinking of doing a balance transfer since the interest on the card is 24%....so it never comes down.....

balance transfer would be a great idea, we were in so much debt 18 months go we had to refinance the house, which was a pain in the butt, but at least we didnt have to keep paying so much interest on credit card bills. It owuld have taken us 50 yrs to pay them off lol

I never let my card get high before, I used to freak when it went near 1000......I wish it was there again. All the worrying in the world isn't helping either. We rent and that is almost 900 a month. Now I am afraid we will have to move somewhere else....to a not so nice area/place....which is on my mind. I just feel like we cannot get ahead...both of us have decent paying jobs and we dont use money for anything ever, no movies, clothes...I buy the majority of my clothes at the thrift store....I am lost....

Amanda, go to your bank and talk to them about a term loan. Unlike the credit card, you would have to make a fixed monthly installment against the balance. But you should be able to obtain an interest rate much lower than what you are paying on the credit card. The rate will depend on a number of things, but will almost certainly be less than 24%. An unsecured loan, with both of you working, should not be more than 12% at most. Prime rate is currently at 6% in Canada. There is no reason that you should be paying four times that.

Depending on how much debt you have and your credit level, your best bet might be one of those 0% apr for 6 months cards. This only works if you can pay off all of the debt in the grace period, but it does help! The other thing is to call the company and ask if you can have the rate lowered. A lot will just for asking.

Happy New year Everyone!!! We made it another year!

So as we say goodbye to 2007....which went very quickly might I add...Just wondering what goals everyone has set for 2008?

John and I are going to join the gym at work and try to get into shape....we have both put on some lbs over the years.

We are also going to start saving money for a home of our own...very big goal.

We are also going to try to start our family this year which is a very special goal for us and I know some members know that :)

So feel free to share your goals and resolutions for the coming year :):)

Have a safe and happy New Years Eve tonight too!

Being newly diagnosed. My goals are to get back into life. Work hard, vacation and just be healthy. I missed out on so much over the past 2 1/2 years because I was too sick.

Well, NOT ANYMORE. :D

Happy New Year

My little sister and I made a resolution to eat well, sleep enough and party with moderation. Should be doable. :)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
