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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

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??

tom Contributor

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.

      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."

      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.
