Emily . . . Happy Birthday . . . Hope you have some great plans for today. :D

Where were you last nigt? I thought I would see you swoop in for the last second post. Now you will have to wait another 100 pages . . .

Amanda, sure hope Lucky gets along with your new yeti. I know you slept in your tiara last night and you have a death grip on your new sceptor. Keep in mind if you damage them in any way during your reign, you will have to use your own money (probably from people giving you money at your wedding hoping you will buy a nice juicer) to have it repaired. And don't let the yeti get ahold of it. He will use the sceptor as a chew toy. Yeti teeth marks on the sceptor are not acceptable.

Tom . . . GE Aircraft Engines (don't worry, I worked mostly military projects so the safety of the general public is still intact, well . . . as much as it ever was I guess) and Ford and Rolls Royce (not cars, jet engines again)

You guys inspire and incite me... :):):)

A Thousand Thank Yous for noting my birthday. I'm so glad I have young kids, otherwise I would just grumble my way through the rest of them, trying to ignore the relentless passage of time. Cannot do that with children--they put HUGE circles around it on every calendar, force DH to arrange a big dinner, and on and on. I wish I had a deep, resonating quote about the passage of time, and how somehow poignant and beautiful that is. But nope, got nothin'. Will be seeing my dad today, and if he is still in Dalai persona, he will have something for me.

I cannot believe you crazies were online till the wee, WEE (read: not Nikki's wee) hours last night! The Fair Queen Amanda--you have a great deal on your plate now, but as your royal subjects, we're here to do your bidding. Your name means "much loved", so a perfect coronation. As I was reading through the posts, and got closer and closer to page 300, the tension and suspense were electric.

Off to do birthday things....

"I could while away the hours,

And smell the pretty flowers....

Happy Birthday Emily!!!!!

Good Morning All! Boy the wind was strong here last night.

I believe Lucky will be ok with the Yeti as long as the Yeti pays attention to him. Lucky is a people cat, I actually think he needs people interaction or he gets loony.

You can be one of my princesses and back-up queen in case I cannot serve. I will need someone to watch the kingdom the next two weekends. I must get married the next and the one after I will be honeymooning.

OMG wth am I doing waking up @ FIVE!! ^_^

And why does Ed Begley Jr have a solar-powered pumpkin??! :blink:

(Hmmmmm until harvest they're ALL solar-powered!? :o "pumpkin" sounds funnier than "jack-o-lantern" tho)

i am my pod.

my pod is me.

I musta missed replying to this while off looking for those old pointy bell-enhanced slippers!

Take special care of your pointy belled slippers . . . Moves can be rough on your most precious items. Maybe they shouldn't be packed away. Maybe they should go in the car with your other special items like the photo of all of us together except for BEV who left me out of that last party, and then tried to cover it up by implying I didn't remember being there . . . not like I'm trying to get even or anything. <_< . . . :lol::lol:

A new Queen was crowned whilst I slept!!! (sneaky)

All hail Queen Amanda!!! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY !!!!! :lol:

...must catch up on posts...but isn't it weird that the board lets you write wanker (love that word!! :lol: ) but not sh#t ??? :blink: ...the 'W' word is a much stronger profanity here in Blighty.

Carry on :D ......

Now I happily have on jammies and soft socks, and I'm watching John Carpenter's The Fog. :D

Sarah Sarah Sarah <shakes head> . . . .this may sound harsh but it's for your own good. (Adrian Monk would say "You'll thank me later")

Upstairs we go .. . ... .it's time to let go of the nostalgia and properly dispose of all your hard socks.

Oooooooooo! LOUD and Powerful has some sort of instinctual appeal for the male human, and probably male Yetis too.

Ever see one blow up in testing? :lol:

Reminds me of my couple yrs at UL, where we'd have to see what it took to make a product become unsafe.

I had crowds gather while making portable bathtub-type jacuzzi units burst into flame. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (Not 'wee')

Sure they're rated for 120V, but the fun really starts at over 250V, when you make the motor seize. (Is it cease? Gah it's early!)

To wee in the jacuzzi is definitely a no-no. Especially when you have crowds gathered.

One leads to the other, doesn't it?

Never saw a jet engine blow up in person, but I didn't have too much to do with testing. Only had an occassional test to sit in on and when everything goes as planned, it's usually quite boring. I did get to crawl up the tail pipe of a B1 Bomber though, I can still hear my boss saying "Janet, you're wearing jeans, crawl up there and see if you can see any damage." And me thinking, nobody's in the cockpit are they . . . who has the keys to this thing? :ph34r:

Oh...I knew I forgot someone :( :( :( (I was trying to back pedal) so I must humbly ask your forgiveness. I could blame it on Lyme, or being blonde (ah...but I'm not blonde) so I bow before you as former Queen Bev and ask you to forgive me. In fact, you should be the Royal Court Party Planner so it NEVER happens again. I knew I should have just forgot Richard 'cuz he's always painting something :P

As the former Queen, and now princess (I think, right?) LET'S PLAN A BIG 'OL PARTY!

After Queen Amanda comes back from honeymoon of course- wait, don't we have to go on her honeymoon as her ladies in waiting????????????

And THIS little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home, leaving a moist trail too easily followed by even the most inept of predators.

BACON!!! (loudly, as in some doggie-treat comm'l)

BACON!!!

(Dingy? Ever have that BLT?)

"I could while away the hours,

Oh what a quandry - so reluctant to correct an esteemed member on her birthday! :ph34r:

So I'm stuck asking the group to remind me toMORRow to say I believe it's "conferrin' w/ the flowers".

I thank you in advance for your cooperation. :P:lol:

How do you have room in your head for all of that minutiae? (Oh, and yes, I will try and remember to remind you because I am a firm believer of rubbing someone's nose in IT!) :lol:

RIGHT YOU ARE, TOM! Gawd, how could I have made this error?? Actually, it's worse than that: I made TWO errors....Bert Lahr did NOT sing those lines. Ray Bolger did. It's the age thing! Not as sharp, memories blurring...stupid birthdays!

I'm afraid there's no denyin',

I'm just a dandelion,

A fate I don't deserve,(or desoive),

I'd be brave as a blizzard,

(Tin Man) I'd be gentle as a lizard,

(Scarecrow) I'd be smart as a gizzard,

(Dorothy) If the wizard...is a wizard...who will serve.

Beautiful stuff! Nobody writes 'em like that anymore...This is my happy place. :):)

And a BEAUTIFUL poem, Bev! That is a GREAT birthday present.

elye Community Regular

...Er....Smart as a gizzard? :huh:

We are heading to Cape May for our honeymoon, all in favor of joining raise your hands.

Our suite comes with a hottub so we will be right at home. I am making sure the Yeti is all primped for the occasion as well.

elye Community Regular

Amanda, I'm there! I'll have my tape measure for that yeti...wait...perhaps he won't need an inseam measurement for a bathing suit... :lol:

      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.

      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."  
    • Scott Adams
      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.
