Here in the province of Ontario, legislation was passed in 1997 that allows women to be topless in public. Interestingly, I have seen NO topless women at any beaches, parks or streets since then. We can do it here, but no one's jumping. I just can't be bothered....more area to sunscreen. Burned boobs do not sound fun. :o

:o:lol: Carla! Were you here in the days of the tassel-twirler discussion?? I was thinking that you were not - but that little comment indicates that you MUST have been.....or else your little lyme brain IS as twisted as ours! :lol:

I got nothin'. Um, first day of period, so wait, I got somethin' all right......menstrual bloat and cramps. :angry: Oh, and complete crankiness. Here is what I had last night for dinner, in no particular order:

vanilla ice cream

horrible caramels from the 99 cent store

Trader Joe's Spicy Soy/Flaxseed tortilla chips

sunflower seeds

and several pieces of bazooka bubble gum.

:ph34r::ph34r:

did I mention I feel (and look) like utter rubbish today?

harrumph.

Hey, that's not so bad . . .

sunflower seeds . . . protein

ice cream . . . dairy

soy/flaxseed tortilla chips . . . soy . . .soybean . . . bean . . . vegetable

caramels . . . sugar pills . . . medication?

gum . . . doesn't count since you spit it out

You just gotta know how to spin it. B)

It was misfortunate that your caramels were horrible. :(

oh my gawd

:lol: :lol: :lol:

excellent work, Janet, you nutty lady. :lol:

It was not only misfortunate (love the word) that the caramels were horrible.....it was misfortunate and SCARY that I ate them. But, guess what else. I pulled a George Costanza, and retrieved them from the trash. :ph34r::o:ph34r: that's right, I had thrown the rest of the disdainful caramels out (in their own bag, folks) and then got them out last night, in my menstrual dysphoria.

They are NOW thrown safely away into the hideous large trash can outside, never to be seen or eaten again.

Forgot to mention, I ALSO ate celery w/ peanut butter (vegetable + peanut i.e., vegetable). That was my main course.

:ph34r:

Hmmm would it be common in a country where even regular beaches are full of topless women? Or maybe that's rumor crossed w/ wishful thinking. Wait! No it's not!! I've been to a few beaches in Asia where Euros and some asians were topless. Hmmmmmm :)

Wondering who would "When in Rome" it if at such a beach - say . . .on a Greek island? :unsure:

:lol: Not I :lol:

At first I thought maye pulling a George Constanza was American code word for 'pulling a fast one' ..as in pulling off some amazing trick but then realised it was food related caused by menstrual dysphoria :lol::lol:

Done many a strange thing myself induced by m. dysphoria :lol:

BTW Susie - thanks for the recipe tips for the nutritionally sound dinner - (when menstruating) :lol:

Should there not been a tad more sugar/chocolate in there?? :P

Ahhhh, the dietary lapses when menstrual...(still with us, Tom?)...this reminds me of the wonderful euphemisms my girlfriends and I used to employ as teenagers for this special time of the month, glancing knowingly at one another and smiling ruefully while in the presence of boyfriends.

Yes, I was here for the tassle discussion ... but I was seriously just trying to think about how to cover up the part you definately wouldn't want burned!

I love caramel ... I like it better than chocolate, always have.

I can't imagine how poorly I'd eat if I weren't feeding kids every night! That looks like a tasty menu to me! :lol:

And the gum, that was after dinner exercise! ;)

Well, you were looking for what you could dispute just a little while ago, and only you can tell us if you're worthy of an upgrade ... and do you really think it is an upgrade?

Oyyyyyyy I get queasy just reading the menu . . .

Aww susie . . . food from the 99cent store?? After the nutbar 'glutening'? :(

But a hearty LOL for "pulled a Costanza"!! :lol::lol:

I've seen so much Seinfeld, I can perfectly play back the video in my head of that doily'd eclair.

At least you didn't turn to discover someone watching!

W/ 9 seasons to cull from, there's gotta be scores of situations where "pulled a Costanza" works. The phrase deserves wider use, I say!! :lol:

Yeah, you're right, you're not argumentative at all .... :rolleyes:

Seinfeld, always thought he was hysterical until I saw him live ... he is his own biggest fan ... so pompous ... wouldn't even sign an autograph for a local restaurant manager who went WAY out of his way to keep it private that Seinfeld was dining there.

Totally different than Bill Cosby ... saw him live, too. He was awesome. Total class.

I've been known to hide behind the pantry door to scarf something down so the kids don't see . . . It's part need to set a good example and part if they see me, I'll have to share. <_<

I saw Steven Wright once. It was a long time ago but we had a blast. I sat next to a friend of mine who would repeat the last word or two of his one liner and then giggle.

SW: "I'd kill for the Noble Peace Prize."

Friend: "gigglegiggle Peace Prize gigglegiggle"

SW: "Half the people you know are below average."

Friend: "gigglegiggle below average giggle giggle"

I found her amusing - the person on the other side of her probably did not. :lol:

must comment on this however....

in fourth grade, Cosby came to play in a tournament at the tennis club which was my day care until I was.....well, in college, I guess. :lol: So, my best friend and I followed his wife and him (that IS correct grammar, in case anyone axes you!) out to the car, and shyly asked for his autograph.....he looks down at us and says....."awwwwwwwwww Man!!! I don't think so" and then just swiped his finger onto each of our palms. :angry: In a very condescending way. So...I have never liked him since. :huh: But yeah, I'm sure Jerry is very pompous.

Posted this on OMG, but w/ the expertise he can provide I think it's worth repeating here.

I'm meeting *another* forum member tomorrow! He even lives in my little Ahwatukee part of Phx and owns a Health Food / Vitamin store. He's offered up his resources and knowledge re: pills, supplements etc on this thread.

Oh Lord- you sillies have been busy! I have to catch up but wanted to add these first:

1. the Even Stephen debates from the daily Show...so funny. Here's Open Original Shared Link

Actually halloween is pretty funny too!

And another from fresh Uncle Ray:

It was the mailman's last day on the job after 35

years of carrying the mail

through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood.

When he arrived at the first house on his route he was

greeted by the whole

family there, who congratulated him and sent him on

his way with big gift

envelope.

At the second house they presented him with a box of

really fine cigars.

The folks at the third house handed him a selection of

terrific fishing

lures.

At each of the houses he was met with congratulations,

farewells, cards, and gifts.

At the final house he was met at the door by a

strikingly beautiful blonde in a revealing negligee.

She took him by the hand, gently led him through the

door, which she closed behind him, and led him up the

stairs to the bedroom where they had a most passionate

liaison.

Afterwards, they went downstairs, where she fixed him

a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage,

blueberry waffles, and fresh-squeezed orange juice.

When he was truly satisfied she poured him a cup of

steaming coffee. As she

was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out

from under the cup's bottom edge.

'All this was just too wonderful for words,' he said,

' but what's the dollar for?'

'Well,' she said, 'last night, I told my husband that

today would be your last day, and that we should do

something special for you. I asked

him what to give

you.' He said, ' Screw him...give him a dollar.'

The blonde then blushed and said, 'The breakfast was

my idea.'

      Yes. I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy. Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates did very little to help with symptoms

      Cristiana makes a good point and it's something I've pointed out at different times on the forum. Not all of our ailments as those with celiac disease are necessarily tied to it. Sometimes we need to look outside the celiac box and remember we are mortal humans just like those without celiac disease.

      Also suffer badly with gluten and TMJD, cutting out gluten has been a game changer, seems to be micro amounts, much less than 20ppm. Anyone else have issues with other food stuffs? Soy (tofu) and/or milk maybe causing TMJD flare-ups, any suggestions or ideas? --- I'm beginning to think it maybe crops that are grown or cured with glyphosphate...

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply. Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct. Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two...

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply.   Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct.   Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two, following my diagnosis - I pinned everything on coeliac disease, but it turns out I wasn't always right!  Dizziness, lightheaded - I was eventually diagnosed with cervical dizziness (worth googling, could be your issue too, also if you have neck pain?)  A few months after diagnosis I put my neck out slightly carrying my seven-year-old above my head, and never assigned any relevance to it as the pain at the time was severe but so short-lived that I'd forgotten the connection. Jaw pain - stress. Tinnitus - I think stress, but perhaps exacerbated by iron/vitamin deficiencies. Painful ribs and sacroiliac joints - no idea, bloating made the pain worse. It got really bad but then got better. Irregular heart rate - could be a coincidence but my sister (not a coeliac) and I both developed this temporarily after our second Astra Zeneca covid jabs.   Subsequent Pfizer jabs didn't affect us. Brain fog - a big thing for people with certain autoimmune issues but in my case I think possibly worse when my iron or B12 are low, but I have no proof of this. Insomnia - stress, menopause. So basically, it isn't always gluten.  It might be worth having your vitamins and mineral levels checked, and if you have deficiencies speak to your Dr about how better to address them?

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.
