I'll bring the absinthe to the parade. Canada remains one of those twelve countries that has quietly kept producing and selling the stuff. Fauves, you say? Have a look at Emily Carr's early work, or ANY of the Group of Seven's...What inspired those horrific totem faces? Those crazy trees and gardens?

I hereby proclaim (with the Fair Queen Amanda's consent, of course), Canadian Absinthe as the official drink of the Augustus Silly Yak Lunatic Bacchanal and Parade!

Do you think yetis can manage absinthe?

Do we care? :lol:

Um, the YETI is not ALLOWED to drink absinthe, simply by reason of his sheer size. It will require too much of our precious elixir to get him drunk!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG are those artists in the Group of Seven absinthe drinkers?????? methinks yes...:lol:

Van Gogh and Gauguin, though technically not Fauvists (think Matisse, Derain, Manquin, Rauol Dufy), were regular consumers of the absinthe.

I'll post my non-absinthe-driven fauves, the ones I painted myself, at another time. Be afraid. :lol:

Van Gogh also consumed his lead paints...hence the eventual reputation he assumed as village madman. Hmmm...Shot of absinthe, with a cadmium yellow chaser.... :o:lol:

Van Gogh: lived on cigarettes, absinthe, and coffee, hence a wildly malnourished, alcoholized and caffeinated GLUTEN BRAIN. :o when he went to the asylum, ate and slept and had no alcohol, he did not paint. :huh: Um, DID he eat the cadmiums and the pthalocyanines........? :huh: This part, I haven't heard........should I try it? Would I paint more????????? :lol:

EMILY - you MUST send me some Canadian absinthe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I"ll have another sale on ebay to fund this. Now my org is called Susie's Lame/Psychotic Dingo and Absinthe Foundation. :lol:

Um BTW when I was an alcoholized gluten brain, I painted and worked on tons of things. NOw, nothing. :lol:

So......on the one hand..........mental health and a placid life, a normal ferritin level, bright eyes and clear skin, a pretty constant setpoint of mirth, well-being and energy.......on the other hand..........creativity and hyper-production.....madness, bad boyfriends, fits of crying, black depression, insomnia, despair and a fogged brain, and.......size 2 clothing............BRING ON THE LEAD PAINTS AND DOUGHNUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have a point........BUT - - in my reading of the book, decades ago, seems to me he did live also on JUST bread, as he had no money? And then years later I decided he was hypoglycemic and malnourished......and then years after that I decided he was an unmedicated bipolar..........and now I am CERTAIN that he was Celiac. And bipolar.

I dunno. don't listen to me. I've had many of my bad cupcakes today. :lol: :lol: (they're soft and lovely if you heat them a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Are you talking about THE Media Pundit? As in... Open Original Shared Link Probably not, because that would just be too crazy a coinkidink. But it just so happens that The Media Pundit I just gave a link to is a Master Blogster Extraordinaire, otherwise known as my little brother! Check it out.

Yay!

Yeti Bugati!?

That might be too much car for him and thusly require a behind-closed-doors tete-a-tete regarding the rescinsion (that's a word?) of one prior decree - namely, "Let the Yeti SPEED!!"

<so . . .... .who's gonna tell 'im?>

Perhaps we can quickly arrange a song, climb up on one of the floats, and perform it in NY. That could be our breakout chance...

I notice my typing is not getting smaller this time.

I've started working on the song! :o

tiCklEmEelmo

. .CklEm

So it's starts in C.

Goes to Em

Then uhhhhhh the Ee now means E#, so that's, of course, an F.

verse

|:C . . . Em . . F . .C ... :|

Chorus? Bridge? Anyone? Lyrics?

[edit: LOL oops :lol: it's not ELMO it's ELBOW!! Noooooooooooooo a B sounds just HORRible in this song! :angry: :pukey: ]

No trouble in paradise, first day back at work and things were crazy, I had been assigned a few new patients while I was gone, so between catching up from our audit a few weeks back and then new patients and current patients I need to get a lot of data out the door.

I made those flourless PB cookies last night, the coworkers loved them, in fact I made another tray tonight. They are very good.

Poor ol' Vince...I'm certain he was so full of toxins, and gluten could well have been one of them. It's probably more brain-addling than lead is! Could it have been the brain fog of celiac disease that caused this great, tormented master to hack off his ear and send it off to his prostitute mistress? Perhaps the schizophrenic rages, the gorging on paint, the wild hallucinogenic bursts of creativity, were nothing but symptoms of celiac. Brain fog = great impressionistic works. Susie, get back on the gluten...I wanna see some neo-fauvist pieces!

Some Genuine Canadian Absinthe is on the way.... :D

Here's Uncle ray's advice for the day:

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred

young layers (hens), called "pullets", and ten roosters, whose job it was

to fertilize the eggs.

The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the

soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he

bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance which

rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an

efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.

The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was,

too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't

rung at all!

John went to investigate.

The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

But to Farmer John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it

couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the

next one.

John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair

and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result...The judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece

Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making:

who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the

most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at

sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying

attention.

Vote carefully...the bells are not always audible!!

A very dreary morning in my neck of the woods today, and John is still home very ill....

So my coworkers little daughter told me a cute joke.

Why was 6 afraid of 7

Because 7-8-9.

Cute!

Darn210 Enthusiast

Amanda - Hope John is feeling better soon!

A silly to share:

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.

The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the

race again, and it won again.

The local paper read:

PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered

the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES

PASTOR'S ASS.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey.

The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The bishop fainted.

He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read:

NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten your life.

So be yourself and enjoy life.

Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!

      Thanks for sharing, Karen. Certainly a needed reminder what we already knew (and I've posted many times on this forum) but sometimes forget, namely, autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. Where one is found, you can look for others to show up eventually. The thing that is unusual in your son's case is the onset of several of them at such a young age. My sister in law, who is in her early 60's has Crohn's and struggles with constipation so I don't think that is unusual with Crohn's. If nothing else, it's the outcome of not eating much because of the pain. Now that you know what is going on with your son and the Crohn's, we hope he is beginning to improve.
    • Nathan.
      Hi there. My son is turning 16 this month. He had an endoscopy and biopsy to confirm celiac. He went gluten-free and his pain never got any better. I think it got worse. Months went by. The pain started around 7th grade. He missed a lot of school in 8th grade, and a whole lot in 9th grade. He couldn't go to school in 10th grade. All along the gastroenterologist prescribed Hyoscyamine, didn't help at all. Cyproheptadine, no less pain. Peppermint oil, ginger, Miralax, Senna. Doc said he was constipated, but I couldn't get him to have Miralax daily. Eventually he went on Linzess and no senna or Miralax. Sorry this is long, there will be a point.  We gave his school not just a doctors not, but everything, and U of M makes a lot of notes. They still turned us in for Truancy.  I didn't get him enrolled in online school fast enough.  The school would not recommend an online school and i didn't know which one to choose.  Doc thought it was nerve pain and mental. He recommended the u of m my pain program.  Nathan did so good, 3 days a week supposed to be for 4 weeks.  Never missed, always on time.   After two weeks, they discharged him. Said it was not  benefitting him.  Pain went on. I had been asking if there were any other test they could do. Ultrasound, colonoscopy. Doc said we can do it, but I don't think we'll find anything.  Finally he had a colonoscopy and another endoscopy.  Guess what, they did find something. They found a ton of tiny ulcers everywhere, from the esophagus to his rectum. They think Crohn's. I understand they didn't check for that because he was more constipated, not much diarrhea. He is getting an MRI with contrast on Sunday. Also they want him to do a cal-protectin (give a poop sample). Then an appointment on the 16th to talk about treatment. Then the probation officer on the 17th. In the meantime he is taking Budesonide extended release.  $276.00 for 30 pills, and that's with insurance. Also he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, Graves disease a few months ago. If it is for sure Crohn's,  it will be three autoimmune diseases. If someone is gluten-free for a month or more, and the pain is no better, don't stop looking. I was beside myself. Did they think he was exaggerating, lying? I was considering taking him to a holistic doctor, who would probably recommend Peppermint oil and ginger.  He's such a good kid. Kind of an introvert. He was on the 9th grade soccer team. He would try to go to practice and kept having to stop, the pain was that bad. Every time he ate, it didn't matter what, gluten-free chicken tenders, mac and cheese, pizza, ice cream, all gluten-free, he would eat a normal amount but stop and say, I can't eat anymore, my stomach hurts.  If anyone reads all this, thank you. I had a gut feeling, no pun intended, that he had an additional problem. They found celiac and stopped looking. If you don't feel better, keep on your doctor to check further, keep looking.   Take care, Karen

      Most likely cross-contamination I believe.

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went.  I would say the really bad diarrhea got better quite quickly, but the bloating pain carried on for a few months, until I was told to give up lactose for a few weeks.  That helped enormously and once I realised milk and yoghurt was the cause, after a short break I went back to lactose very gradually and felt a lot better.  Now I can tolerate it well. From Coeliac UK "The enzyme lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine. This is why people with coeliac disease can be deficient in lactase at diagnosis. Once established on a gluten free diet, the gut is able to heal and lactose digestion returns to normal. Lactose intolerance is therefore usually temporary." So if this helps your daughter, this doesn't mean you have to give up lactose forever, especially as dairy is such a good source of calcium for growing kids.   Bear in mind you should be able to reintroduce it. As for fatigue, this can be due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies,such as iron, vitamin D and B12.  Were these levels tested?  If not, I would suggest you get them done.  If your daughter is deficient in these, it is vital you address the deficiencies, and get the tests redone in a few months, particularly the iron, because too much can be dangerous.

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic acid accumulation caused by the inhalers: Shoshin beriberi provoked by the inhalation of salbutamol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12951730/    Significant Lactic Acidosis from Albuterol https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5965110/ Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7263006/ Lessons of the month 1: Salbutamol induced lactic acidosis: clinically recognised but often forgotten https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6964186/ An Overview of Type B Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine (B1) Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10731935/   Thiamine has antifungal and antibacterial properties.  Thiamine helps keep Candida in check.  Thiamine helps keep SIBO in check.  Thiamine helps with black mold, Aspergillis infection.  Riboflavin helps fight Candida infection in the mouth. Riboflavin Targets the Cellular Metabolic and Ribosomal Pathways of Candida albicans In Vitro and Exhibits Efficacy against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36625571/   Thiamine deficiency can make ones voice hoarse and can cause localized edema.  Niacin deficiency can make ones voice hoarse.  (Niacin deficiency and Thiamine deficiency can each cause irritability, agitation, and lability.) Hoarseness in pellagra https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21507655/ Hidden Hunger: A Pellagra Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8152714/   Anesthesia can cause B12 deficiency.  B12 deficiency can show up as mouth sores and geographic tongue, diarrhea, and dementia. Vitamin deficiency, a neglected risk factor for post-anesthesia complications: a systematic review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11823251/ Neurologic degeneration associated with nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/ Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord following nitrous oxide anesthesia: A systematic review of cases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30144777/ The Effect of Vitamin B12 Infusion on Prevention of Nitrous Oxide-induced Homocysteine Increase: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4052402/     Eating a diet that is heavy in carbohydrates can precipitate a thiamine deficiency.  As the amount of carbohydrates consumed increases, additional thiamine is needed, otherwise the carbs will be stored as fat.   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/   The deficiency symptoms of some of the B vitamins cause gastrointestinal symptoms that resemble the same symptoms as when being glutened.   Thiamine deficiency can present as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain (Gastrointestinal Beriberi).  Niacin deficiency can present as diarrhea (Pellagra = diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, then death ).  B12 deficiency can present as diarrhea or dementia.  Not everything is caused by hidden gluten.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing foods are. Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels, but do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with the eight B vitamins, Vitamin C, the four fat soluble vitamins and minerals like magnesium.  Your physician can give you a shot of B12 before anesthesia administration.   By the way, Celiac Disease genes have been traced back to having originated in Neanderthals.  I'm not a singing teacher on the net.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins are doing inside the body.  I've experienced nutritional deficiencies myself. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!
