You play flute? So do I! I hadn't played much in the last year but recently got back into it. I was out of practice and had to put one of the corks back in because my pinky wasn't covering the hole. I have an Emerson that I brought in first year university that I saved up for sooooo long to buy and I cried pretty much the rest of the day for spending so much money. It was worth it though; playing flute (or any instrument) is a great hobby. I can't worry about other things when I'm playing flute -- it's a good escape. Okay, that's enough boring flute talk. Sorry!
Great! I'll hide behind you in our little parade! You play, I'll pretend to, and everyone will think we're in perfect tune!

I played in HS, but quit by college. I picked it up again a few years ago after not playing for 23 years! Right now I only play at Church since I play very badly with these braces. But, prior to braces, when I was living in Indiana, I played in a quintet, a community band, and at Church. I miss the music in Indiana.

I have a silver Yamaha, open hole, b-foot, all that ... hubby bought it for me to replace my old Gemeinhardt I had in HS. I love it! I also have a wooden Irish flute I'm learning. It was frustrating learning the open holes ... but I did it :)

Flutes in perfect tune -- nobody would believe that! :lol:

Yeah, learning to play with open holes was a bugger but it definitely improved my hand position. The only thing that kept me from throwing my flute at the wall was the fact that I paid so much for. I wish I could find a concert band to play in. I miss high school band. Good times! I didn't march though, just concert style.

Nope, herx not fading .... just starting in fact.

Rats! :(

~alex~? No Community Band? Even Hooterville had one . .. . . . :(

Me 'n a CBMGC go wayyyyyyyyy back . .. . .

:huh:

okay....NOT herxing here.....have NO idea what any of this means....

QB1!! :lol: "same disorder as the man before" :lol:

And another!! :lol: "Because you are my friends."

Question:

Are people misspelling 'baring?'

Hey! A little "lookin' out for #1" eh? Sounds like evidence of a fading herx.

Is it the ennui? :unsure:

And what other words can be pronounced by simply saying the names of letters quickly? N U E

(One syllable too easy, aye? I? Eye?)

All I was sayin' is - if we have a machine-gun toting vehicle in the parade, THAT's where I wanna be!

It's not like any other current regular was once a little boy playing Army!!

double :huh: :huh:

??????????????????????????????????????

:lol: LMAO :lol:

<sing-song voice> Lyyyyyyyyyyyme Cl** . . . . .

:P

Pull a Costanza on the discarded Nutella?

:lol:

No no no . .. . I think the ppl each line is directed to know what each means.

Ever done a winter vacation into some brain-baking environment? Loreto or Pichilingue are driveable but it brings up the dingos' passport status.

OK, I DID wonder about the doozy of a jump from a non-existant QE2 reference to our own QB1. Queen Bev the 1st?

Alex!! HERE IS YOUR CONCERT BAND!!

Superb! What a Parade this is beginning to sound like...we've got Alex and Carla on flute, (Alex, you can march and play simultaneously, c'mon!) :lol: , Lord Tom rounding off the brass section with his sax, and then perhaps strumming a bit (just bring the guitar, too)...I can sing, so I'll need to be mic'd (or maybe not...you should probably hear me sing first). But there is something missing...

Ack! What kind of Royal Parade does not have a booming kettle drum?! Anyone?

jerseyangel Proficient

Wow--ya'll were busy last night while I watched Dancing With the Stars :P

Parades, herxes, Tostidos, Tom's foot placement in the bathroom stall, flutes--no way I can keep up given my still fogged-from-Sunday pea brain.

Can I just ride somewhere on the cushy Care Bear float and wave a'la Queen Elizabeth? :unsure: I'll bring killer gluten-free banana bread and Redbridge......

...wait...you don't react to yeti meat?

...Altoids to the men?...Hmmmm, what a concept.

This is freaking me out! Am I imagining memories? I used to read thru cdkitchen.com a lot and I swear I saw a Yeti w/ Mint&Altoid Pesto recipe a while ago.

It sounded muy delicioso (que sabor!) but I had NO idea where to find YETI!!

As long I go w/ an extra-lean cut, I see no reason I can't have it.

Google community band and your area ... and the surrounding towns, I'm sure there's something.

I played in both. I only played picc in marching band and typically got the picc parts in concert band .... my old HS band director retired a couple years ago. We got together an alumni band and surprised him by marching in the local parade (he was the grand marshall). There were two piccs ... both of us graduated the same year, and believe it or not, we could still play in tune together! He didn't allow more than one piccolo in marching band after we graduated. I had forgotten how hard it was to march and play.

Tom, apparently we're moving you to the brass section. ;)

I'll take melody, Alex gets high harmony ... I can't play the high notes right now.

:huh:

okay....NOT herxing here.....have NO idea what any of this means....

Oh, I thought you had to be not herxing to understand what he was saying!

I used to twirl flags as a color guard unit. I can join the parade in that form :)

:lol::lol::lol:

We're not gonna cook up the Yeti, Tom...he's in the parade, waving and roaring menacingly, to add some drama. You are safe back there with him because cross-contamination could possibly happen (If, say, you licked him). Now, enough about yeti meat...yeti fur could be an issue for those with animal hair/dander allergies. Affected people should bring their inhalers just in case. :lol:

why of COURSE you can ride on teh cushy Care Bear float!!! And wave your hand regally, tossing carefully-wrapped (in plastic) slices of warmed (w/ butter) banana bread to all (okay most) of the minions. :lol:

Amanda! You'll be waving the Care Bear flags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

been there, very cool

the castle looks GORGEOUS! note the glossy hardwood floors.......*sigh*.....I DREAM of replacing this dingo-trampled carpet w/ pergo.....alas, don't have $4000 handy just now..... :angry: (reminds me, must rent shampooer YET AGAIN in another futile attempt to clean things....oh and THEN you'll be hearing about my aching back......:lol: you know - - some of those carpet areas have to be gone over SIX TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: )

MANGO!!!!!

I have seen you reading occasionally, are we just too demented for you to join us???? :lol:

and Dancing w/ the Stars....I was not surprised that Newton was voted off....but thought the millionaire would go - he kinda bugs me. Though I'm not paying all that much attention.....I think one of the gals will win this year. Eh, Patti?

OMG I was about to suggest a Flag Corps earlier!!

Darn this slow page-load on a phone and my need to install a new car battery!!

Nikki's aNOTHer potential flautist? I know we could use some drums and I think I have a line on a snare & some timbales - in marching config w/ straps of course.

Any takers?

Dingy! What's your role in this procession? Might the dingos have heretofore-untapped sled-dog skills? Pulling the snack cart could be useful. . .. .. . No!!! Make it a Mojito Bar!!! :wacko:

Emily,

I later realized I probably can't try that Yeti w/ Mint&Altoid Pesto recipe after all. Probably corn syrup or something else in the Altoids. :( Shucks!! (My new derisive exclamatory for all corn-related situations, Janet :lol: )

The rooms are actually very small. and I'm pretty sure dingo prints would show on the glossy floors.

$4000!!! Can you do one room at a time?

Carpet is easy to rip out yourself, and even my parents managed to put their pergo floor in themselves.

:lol::o Thought about this option. The thing is, it involves meh...mmeh....measuring and cutting things to fit - you don't EVER want me doing that. :huh: I am sure I could enlist some help but dang, the thought of ripping out and getting rid of carpet is just beyond egregious and repugnant and really just WAY too taxing......

here's something.

Female Comebacks

Man: Haven't I seen you someplace before?

Woman: Yes, thats why I don't go there anymore.

Man: Is this seat empty?

Woman: Yes and this one will be if you sit down.

Man: Your place or mine?

Woman: Both. You go to yours, and I'll go to mine.

Man: So, what do you do for a living?

Woman: I'm a female impersonator.

Man: Hey baby, what's your sign?

Woman: Do not enter.

Man: How do you like your eggs in the morning?

Woman: Unfertilized

Man: Your body is like a temple.

Woman: Sorry, there are no services today.

Man: I would go to the end of the world for you.

Woman: But would you stay there?

Man: If I could see you naked, I'd die happy.

Woman: If I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing.

Cool! I used to twirl a mean batton about 100 years ago :lol: We can march together (till I conk out, then I return to my cushy seat in the Care Bear Float) ;)

and Dancing w/ the Stars....I was not surprised that Newton was voted off....but thought the millionaire would go - he kinda bugs me. Though I'm not paying all that much attention.....I think one of the gals will win this year. Eh, Patti?

Yep--I think it definately going to be a woman. My guess was that last night, it would either be Wayne or Mark (the millionaire) voted off. The rest are really very good.

Former neighbors of mine did Pergo themselves--and did a great job.

The secret to ripping up carpet is to do it in 3-4 foot strips. It's so much more manageable that way ;)

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor. 
    • knitty kitty
      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
