Columbus, OH (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Franklin County

courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the University of Michigan Wolverines, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

:huh:

I didn't get to go to the link yet, but I expected Even Stephen to be Colbert 'debating himself'.

Oh!! Oh! Or was it pre-Colbert Report and it's Carrell vs. Colbert?

:lol: Carla but it sure didn't start funny!

The blonde then blushed and said, 'The breakfast was

my idea.'

:lol: !!

:ph34r: Ok now lemme preface this by saying I'm not proud of it, but I just saw part of "Beauty & The Geek".

During tryouts a Beauty is asked:

Q: Who wrote Beethoven's Fifth Symphony?

A: I don't read books. . . . . .just magazines.

An International Pirate Day? This is cause for much celebration, as we venerate these characters around here. Years ago, my dad was often called upon to portray a horrid Captain Hook-type rogue. Here was his advice that we can all use today:

Double up all of your adjectives and you'll be bountifully bombastic with your phrasing. Pirates never speak of "a big ship", they call it a "great, grand ship!" They never say never--they say "No nay ne'er!"

Drop all of your "g"'s when you speak and you'll get words like "rowin'", "sailin'" and "fightin'". Dropping all of your "v"'s will get you words like "ne'er", "e'er" and "o'er".

Instead of saying "I am", sailors say, "I be". Instead of saying "You are", sailors say, "You be". Instead of saying, "They are", sailors say, "They be". Ne'er speak in anythin' but the present tense!

Why is this humorous banter so difficult during a herx???? :blink: Just as I was getting used to the new med ...

:lol: I can relate, but as my kids are older now I don't bother hiding. I just say in a v.loud voice ''Go Away!! It's mine'' :lol:

True. I just say, "This fudge is made with raw almond butter, no sugar, cacao beans, do you think there's any way I can afford to feed it to all of you? Go eat your cheap candy!"

I also have my own shelf in the pantry, they all know, "touch it and die."

Thanks for remebering the foreigner :D

Well, it took me a minute to see that the alleged news report was out of Columbus, where OSU is, so I figured if I lived here and didn't see it right away, you didn't have a chance! Of course, I went to Indiana University, so if it were written out of Bloominton and said Purdue, I'd have seen it right away! I switched it around like that and emailed it to my daughter at IU. :)

Emily, thanks for the pirate lesson ... I'll have trouble enough just talking normal today!

This morning I started to make my smoothie that I eat every morning ... Wild Oats was out of vanilla whey powder, so I have chocolate ... I added a banana and frozen strawberries instead of my usual raspberries ... I put the hand blender in and apparently hit the start button too soon and chocolate smoothie went all over everything.

So, as if this wasn't bad enough ... I decide to wash my terrycloth robe because what good is laying around in it all day during a herx if it is sticky and has chocolate all over it? I go upstairs to get all my dirty clothes, then to the basement to put them in the washer (any idea how much effort that was?), and we're out of laundry detergent (the kids do the laundry ... except for mine ... and they didn't tell me it was low until it was empty). So, after I finish my smoothie, I'm going to have to put the same clothes and baseball hat I threw on yesterday to drive kids around and go to the grocery for laundry detergent! <_<

I'd send Adam, but he's out of town till Friday.

Heinous, Carla! Hmhhh....pondering the bath robe all day.....I prefer the pj's or sweats for all-day lounging, really. The bathrobe means things are quite bad. herxing must be terrible....

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Me brain ain't workin' enough to give ye pirate banter today......... :blink:

Slept 10 hours straight, I think, yet somehow....quite groggy and cranky today.

Did I mention that my HAIR is RUINED???????????????? :angry: Bad cut and wrong color....it is somewhat like an orange PYRAMID atop my head, and no, there will be no photos posted......

Really puts a gal in a bad mood though, don't it??????????

:angry:

Must work on finding new stylist toute de suite (or is that just toute suite? Emily? can't remember) to fix things.............

NIKKEIGH!!!!!!!!!!!! You must come for an emergency hair consultation and intervention!!!!!!!!!!

Gawd, Susan...pyramid hair. That is unfortunate, but please reconsider posting a pic. It can't be that bad, and we all need a small chucke. I mean, is it tellatubby-head calibre?

...Yep, it's tout de suite. We anglophones often shorten it to "tout suite", but I don't think the French much like this. Although the Canadian francophones may be okay with it, as they're a funny bunch.

...Or funnier than the rest of us! :P:)

Well, my pj's aren't of the lounging variety, so I need a bathrobe worn over them ... and, yeah, when it's bad, it is bathrobe bad! If I can get sweats on and move downstairs, I'm coming out of my herx.

Launch the dinghy pseu-zee! Time fer fetchin the poxy stylist fer a keelhaulin'!!

P.S. :lol: troll pic :lol:

Carla! Smoothie tornado! Ack! Is the herx expected to be 2-3 days? 4? Are they consistent that way?

CarlaB Enthusiast

I don't know, Tom ... they used to be predictable, but I'd been going downhill for the past couple months, so I'm not sure. I am expected the worst to be over after three days, but it will take me a few more days to feel recovered from it ... that's the part that has changed, the past two months, I've never felt recovered from them ... hopefully the new med hitting the new bacteria will change that. :)

The good news is that I did manage to go to the grocery without panicking (not quite the right word, it's more of a disorientation - why am I here? type thing) as I was shopping ... at one point grocery stores were so difficult for me that I was forbidden by my hubby to go alone ... so, I not only left the house during a herx, but I also did okay at the store. Sounds minor, but that's significant improvement ...

I hope I don't get a board warning for that last post being off topic for the thread.

Well hallooooooooo there, young 'un! (or should I say, avast, ahoy....?? I am telling you, the pirate talk is not tripping off the tongue lightly today) You must come by more often, what with the heinous job and all! :)

Carla - excellent you navigated the grocery store during a herx. Progress!!

Tom - :lol:

out to do yard work. MUST find new stylist THIS MINUTE. The man who colored my hair......I am not kidding - he has become one of the most hated stylists in Fresno. :angry: He has been known to be quite good at the highlighting......but his bedside manner makes one MURDEROUS by the end.....it is impossible to even do a proper imitation of his horrid, VITRIOLIC venom and poison that he spews whilst one is MINDING ONE"S OWN BUSINESS sitting in his chair. I now know four women, including myslef, whose shadow shall never darken the doorway of that establishment again.......but the WORST part it, this time, he did not listne at all, and my hair is ORANGE.

So now I have to pay SOMEONE ELSE to fix it.

You gotta figure . . . on all my other posts on the other threads, people have got to be thinking . . . WTH is that in her avatar! :lol:

No, when they hit "view new posts" they see your post here ... so when they see your avatar they just think, "Oh, she's one of them!"

Carla - bah the off-topic, I'm the one who asked, so the demerits are mine. Good to hear of the successful trip. Small progress is still progress. :)

:lol: invert the troll's hair the other way - I am sure you math geeks have a name for that triangular shape - and that would be more like it.

Hmmm having trouble picturing it. But the mathletic side of me is intrigued. There's a '2birds-1stone' aspect to satisfying academic curiousity and feeding maximum thread silliness through simply subbing the current arrrrrrr-vatar w/ a hair-vatar. :o (makes perfect sense to me)

Surely looking sophisticated & . . . . . well . . . . like that isn't fitting on a heinous day. :lol:

.....it is impossible to even do a proper imitation of his horrid, VITRIOLIC venom and poison that he spews . . .

Aaarrrrrrr! I can't spell scheudenfreund right can I? I feel bad about laughing but it can't be helped. :lol:

(Aha! Schadenfreude!! Thank u sms dictionary)

So it *was* the same spewy vitriolistic one who's been described as 'worth it' in the past. Shame it's a month from halloween, punkin'head. ;)

Manda - what heinous employement is this?

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
