So I have the fleet all lined up for us. I would also like if we could bring Bon Jovi with us. I think he is gorgeous and he sings great too.

:o OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bon Jovi!!!!!!!!!!!! major HOTness. I forgot, I"ve even had dreams about him. (no, don't like his music, never have, just think he is THE HOTTEST.........) Thank God he's coming!!!!!!!!! and girls - - - BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's MINE, all MINE!!!!!! moo-hoo-hooo haaa haa

Okay, I am fulfiling my duties right this minute...I am going to help some sad soul right now. I'm breaking free of the strict Silly environs for some serious discussion with troubled people on another thread...some reaching out. Here I go, now...no flip play on words, clever innuendo, just words of support. And NO LAUGHING....

:rolleyes:

Stay strong, little soldier......be strong.......reach out as only the sillies can............... ;)

Went fishin' and got nuttin'. <_<

I KNOW!!!! most curious. Are we truly, the ONLY complete nutball/whack cases on here, out of.....18,000 people??? :huh: Did we wait too LONG to remove the gluten from our enfeebled brains?????????? :blink:

You can't do that while Heroes is on! I just couldn't concentrate for the last half! :lol:

:lol: :lol:

And for the record (because it was questioned) I didn't get the new feature until I had made 501.

Now, spill the beans . . . secret handshake? . . . password? . . . matching T-shirts?

Yay!!!! listen everybody - - DO NOT TELL Janet what happens after post 501 - - PLEEZ!!!!!!!!!! I don't think she's ready...............I'm just not sure she's earned it.....

now, if she SENDS the rolled/iced sugar cookies w/ decorations.....THEN we will talk about it.....

Awww, poopy cow, I wanna be in the 501 Club!

Poopy Cow is the cuss word I tell my kids to use.

POOPY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there some 'Most Friends' contest I haven't heard of, as my time has been entirely spent in pod-related activity?

3 of ya added me in the last day & a half!! :o

But before that, I was officially acknowledged w/ Friend status exactly ONCE, by someone I don't actually know at ALL - just know of. (xxxxxxxxx25 btw)

:huh::unsure:

Ridgewalker Contributor

:lol:

And yet, Tom, you have added no one to your friends list?? How come, huh? Not good enough for ya? :D

tom Contributor

The Cisco Kid . . .. .waaaaaaaas a friend o' mi-ine <bwaa-bwaa-bwaa-bwah>

But he never got around to making an acct. Always excuses w/ that guy.

Well, I have a BIG confession to make. I have no idea what making someone your friend on here does,--why we do it, what the perks are...Richard suddenly became my FIRST friend a couple of weeks ago, and then more followed. I tend to be something of a sheep, and follow the great flock, so now I have started "befriending"...Do we go to each other's houses? Can I borrow makeup or books from you guys? Do I now have special access to your hidden journals? "Add as friend"...it's a lovely option, and when I get an email announcing that someone has put me on their Friends list, I'm just all warm inside. But I wanna go to some of my friends' places... :lol:

When I added my friends on here I looked at it as people who I can always count on. We may have never met, and some of us maybe never will but you are always a mouse click away (times ahve changed and phones are no longer the first choice in contact)

We laugh on this thread, but there have been threads outside this one where we have helped one another and I look at my friends on here just as I do off of here. You guys have helped me.

My newest friends on here are all my sillies :)

I happen to know that Sarah is asking on behalf of Tom because he totally wants to borrow your red pumps . . . but you CAN'T, Tom. Not until you add Emily as a "friend"!!!!!

:lol::lol:

Well, you're in the right spot to get there as fast as you can. If I had just stuck with the other threads, it probably would have taken me over a year to get there.

BTW . . . I noticed (from your profile page) that Scott paid you a visit. Hmmmm . . . what's going on between you two? You're not getting any "favors" from him are you?

Yay!!!! listen everybody - - DO NOT TELL Janet what happens after post 501 - - PLEEZ!!!!!!!!!! I don't think she's ready...............I'm just not sure she's earned it.....

:blink: He sent me a PM that my email box was full, and that the c.com newsletter was bouncing back :ph34r:I was so embarassed.

:lol:

We've heard that Tom is also into...inflatable things. So the spiked heels may not be on his borrow list, but I notice that in our basement we have a blow-up Santa for our front lawn. ...If you're looking for that sort of thing, Tom. I have to think about whether or not I actually want to hear your answer; this is a Santa Claus effigy, after all... :o:lol:

Okay, I still don't know why we officially make some people "friends". I assumed that you guys already ARE my friends. :) We can send personal messages through PMs to anyone without having them on our "Friends" list. What am I missing? :huh: It's gotta be more than borrowing good stuff... and Sarah, what's with the full email box?! I never get emails! I'm out of some huge loop....story of my life... :angry:

Oh dear!! Emily, I'm so sorry to hear this. That would make you, in women's shoes, a size 15.

Uhhhhh were you on the swim team?

tom Contributor

Hi elye, I SEE you!! ;)

. .. . . I got to wonderin .. ...many name origins are easy to decipher .. . ..not so w/ you.

Do tell .. . . .why elye?? :huh:

Tom how is the pod coming along?

Lye's my last name. Quite horrid-sounding, really, and it's a toilet cleanser. But at least it's very short to write and spell out to someone. (you can imagine the kidding I got in public school..."Em's a liar! Liar!") My pants were always on fire... :(:rolleyes:

tom Contributor
Tom how is the pod coming along?

Ahhhhh yes . .. ... . I SHOULD have already stated that it's all full up & ready to roll!! :) :)

Well, not roll exactly .. . . . .it's pretty kewl how they do it. It's like moving ships in drydock. A big contraption detaches from the truck, like a frame on wheels, and surrounds it to be lifted and moved around w/out any tilting or ramps.

The contraption is almost its own vehicle, but I think not since the guy 'driving' it isn't riding in it - just standing/walking.

I'm guessing it'll be on a train for the trip to the Bay Area.

Ahhhhhhh my wonderful Bay Area . . .. .. .home once again. :) :) :) :) :) :)

I suppose a caustic wit runs in the family then?

Goodness! I won't avoid the issue--kept my maiden name...but don't get me started on that. Although...I must ask this: Amanda, are you keeping your last name?....say you are...! ;):)

Okay, so now I'm REALLY a'wonderin...(Thank you, Tom): Not only do I not understand why we make a special Friends list, I haven't understood the dynamics of such list. A few people have put me on their list, and I figured that because we're "Friends", they would be consequently on MY list as well. But nooooo.....So I have to put these people on MY list? Duuuhhhh...what a way to run a railroad. So, here I was thinking I was getting an impressive Friends List in my profile, but there's only Tom. Tom, you're my only friend. :(:P

What the heck is the "friends pending approval" feature on the friends list??

Huh?

I was surprised, on my 1st beFriending, getting the PM to inform me I'm a Friend of someone I don't think I'd ever talked to, even once!

I'd expected an opportunity to say ..

<david spade voice> "And you arrrrrre .. .. .?"

SILLLLLLLLIIEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(shaking head)

You need not fret so over the FRIENDS list. It was a feature added - maybe a year ago? None of us is sure why....except that, if someone looks at your page, they can determine if you are poplular or not??????????

and THANK GOD this other disquieting feature was aborted: you could actually RANK people! Go on their profiles and rate from 1 to 5 stars. :huh: There was a big brouhaha about taht, and it was abolished........................

and yeah, what IS WITH Sarah and her full pm box???????????? Are all the hot guys writing to her???? I also am out of the loop on this! (well, I am a constant deleter, is this why?)

Carry on sillies, I got nothin!!!!!!!!! :huh:

tom Contributor

I saw the Friend's List as an attempt to 'MySpace it up' a little.

I have no friends. :( Can anyone recommend a San Jose (we say it "sannozay" btw) psychologist/psychiatrist for me?

And woohoo! Car getting tune-up now and I'm Hittin' the Road this afternoon!!! :D

(Ahh reminded of old Meat Puppets song which starts "We got road, we got time, so we're outta here") :)

1st stop Las Vegas to visit a cousin and spend the night. Then it'll be off to the beautiful metropolis of Fernley NV, via what MUST be one of the most boring roads in the West. <yawn>

A few days of fun w/ the 11 & 8yr olds there, before heading west again.

Aha! Another lyric! "Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand". Neil Young, Thrasher, ~2min before the line in my sig. :) :)

So here is my funny of the day

I walk down to the car at lunch with John. I have a bottle of coke. I sit down in the car to open it and it was like New Years Eve when some corks a new bottle of champagne. All the coke was everywhere. All over my khakis all over my pink shirt and all over and down my sleeve of my white lab coat. I used my tide bleach pen as best as I could. I am still dirty though.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    
    • Theresa2407
      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
    • Hmart
      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
