Okay, so here's a question--can't seem to find any evidence of female mullets. Does the classic mullet profile only involve males? I'm having some uneasy memory flashes of me sporting something that came very close to this "style" in the mid-eighties. The lifestyle and...philosophy...(trying to remain politically correct here)...that tends to surround this hairstyle makes me suspect that women aren't part of this club. After all, "the wife knows her place"... ;)

I think Olvia Newton John have one for a while?

Wishful thinking on excepting the ladies from this...while in the minority, you ladies have more hair products and corded "hairaphanalia" to spice things up.

Check out classifications 9, 25, 74 and my personal favorite #94...I think it was a footnote to women's "sufferage" ;) ...the right to vote, and vote with bad hair... :P

I hope HELL is a nicer place than the church makes it out to be. I think I just hopped a cab on the expressway to hell!

:lol:

I think the worst example of the female mullet was back in the 80's when the top, front and sides would be permed, and the back would be left long and straight :blink:

I have to admit, in the early '90s I had a mini-mullet, just the last few inches of the back...my mom thought anymore would look ridiculous...I think she meant absolutely ridiculous.

My bird is looking at me like I'm strange since I'm sitting here laughing at my computer. #74 is hideous.

Yes--and sometimes if the back was longer, it literally looked like 2 different heads of hair :D

I was very radical. I hated shoulder pads and cut mine out one day. Then I kept getting asked if I lost weight!! :lol::lol: I did have big hair ... I loved it, my hair is big anyway. It's a lot easier to not have to load it with styling products to weight it down!

That has got to be one of the most hilarious websites I have ever seen. I have emailed the link to all of my friends, and now, thanks to its comprehensive research, I have it confirmed that indeed the female mullet has existed and will continue into infamy. OMG, the "sightings" for mullet #94: Behind trees, divorce court, Afghanistan... :lol::lol::lol:

It was all a bit top heavy--wasn't it! :lol: Even the smokey-eye/red lips were over the top! B)

Ah, the 80's--good times :P

I love how those of you who speak English English, as opposed to American (both US and Canadian) English, use the word brilliant! An Irish priest I used to work with used it regularly. Around here about the only time anyone uses that word is when they're describing someone very smart.

Brill!! :lol:

:blink: Over here we had the opposite.Curly at the back (long),straight at the front.

Either one was truly disgusting!! :lol:

You forgot the high-top Reeboks and Flashdance off-the-shoulder top.

Don't forget the first half of the 80's was all about being preppy. I still have my 1982 penny loafers!

Preppy was the style up till Flashdance.

Speaking of John Travolta, now HE has a a head of HAIR! I think his hair has starred in more movies than he has...It had the lead in...Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Pulp Fiction, The Boy in the Bubble, and that awful sci-fi movie he did a few years ago...wait, I'm not sure if his hair made an appearance in that one... :P

Yep, he definitely had the "do"!

Also, remember that lovely 80's "feathered back" look?

Alert! I have recently seen a few women (not men yet, thank gawd) sporting the feathered-back look again. Horrors. Actually, aren't mullet-haired guys often married to women who have the perpetually feathered-back, blonde 'do? I think so...you guys from Alberta? Southern States?

I think you're right ... and where I used to live their favorite mode of transportation was a nearly broken down pickup truck ... that's because our mullets were of the redneck variety.

But wait . . . according to all the teen magazines on the racks at the checkout, feathered hair is back IN. Farrah Fawcett, you're in style again (especially since she basically never changed it)!!!!!

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
