I pictured our World Vision sponsored child (from Bolivia, eight year-old boy) as little, skinny, olive skin, black longish hair. We finally got a pic of him. Heavy, light hair and skin...looks fairly affluent, actually. :huh: Hmmmmmm...

:o hmmmmmmmmmm indeed! a "heavy" World Vision child? Is he perhaps putting your good money toward expensive Air Jordans? or a new Ipod?

The yeti can go with Mary Kate . . . she just needs to borrow Ashley's hairy coat.

Yes Janet, universal EWWWWWWWWW. Tired of Lance switching and rejecting all of his blondes. and yes, we'll give the hairy coat to Mary Kate - Yeti won't know the difference.

Poor amanda......all of these last-minute additions to the seating chart....the girl will go mad. :huh:

My grandfather. I look like my grandfather...odd that you should know him

:huh:

:o why yes, it's all coming back to me.................... he's been hanging around gated communities in the Fresno area, hasn't he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

the gate/brick wall - - hard to tell - whether to keep its sterile residents enclosed.....or the

truly mad from getting in...............

p'raps a little of both....aside from cOeliac self-mutilating wanderer (shall I invite him in today? I MUST know his story) and barfing neighbors, everyone's the same here..........................drives me MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

If it makes you feel any better . . . our first dog was a lumpy dog. One of the lumps was "funny". They did the needle biopsy and said it was OK. Then a little while later when it still wasn't acting right, they decided they needed to take it out. It was still OK - we just ended up having to pay for both procedures and who's to say that if they had left it in that it wouldn't have turned into something not good at all . . .

Janet - a candy hangover. OMG. I ahve an ersatz blue-coloUred ice cream hangover. ugh. It was really hard to hand out the ice cream, so I just ate it. :huh:

What's the big deal, just drop a scoop into each open bag. :rolleyes:

OK - so now I have a gross story to tell you. We have had a lot of poop conversations at our house. Did you go poop today? Was it all together or a bunch of little pieces? Did it float or sink? Now I get totally unsolicitated information yelled from the bathroom. MoM!! I went poop!!! It's green!! What does that mean???!! And I yell back: It means you ate blue ice cream yesterday!!

TriticusToxicum Explorer
Oh....so...that isn't Susie in her avatar?

Speaking of avatars--I'm always so amused at how completely inaccurate my mental picture is of a person when I've never seen them. Richard, you are NOTHING like I pictured you. I've been seeing a big guy (like, linebacker-type), fair hair, regular features, perhaps a beard now that I think of it...I'm always way off. I pictured our World Vision sponsored child (from Bolivia, eight year-old boy) as little, skinny, olive skin, black longish hair. We finally got a pic of him. Heavy, light hair and skin...looks fairly affluent, actually. :huh: Hmmmmmm...

Linebacker! :P

Punter maybe! :lol:

:lol:

I have those conversations here, too. Only, no one answers back. :lol:

SARAH thinks she's a bad mother because there was a half-liter of chocolate vomit. I say, BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sign of a really good day, the chocolate-y vomit. :rolleyes:

:o why yes, it's all coming back to me.................... he's been hanging around gated communities in the Fresno area, hasn't he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

...er, he's been dead since 1988, so that might confirm the zombie angle. The only way to tell for sure (aside from a cheek swab) is to offer him your car. If he drives on the extreme right of the road at a steady 25 mph it is likely gramps. (I think he still owes some folks a new mailbox)

Hey Richard, how long ago was that picture of you and RG taken? He was looking quite pale there. He must have already started his downhill slide.

I can't recall. He visited almost every day. Like clockwork. i think that particular picture was taken some happy hour at the local pub. The gang and i convinced him to join us for some brews and Emerald nuts. He probably looks pale relative to me and my George Hamilton tan. :rolleyes:

Oh, I remember it all too well. If you ever run into GH in your travels, and he offers to show you his tanning bed - JUST SAY NO! I'll leave it at that.

...and THAT is the newest GMO Butterball (note the abnormally large breasts) :o

OMG - I just realized who Richard looks like (and I don't mean the chicken (?) photo........

Which begs the next question............

OMG - Richard/Chad - are you not ALSO in the witness protection program, hiding out in some small town in NY? And if that be the case - do you THINK you should be posting PHOTOS of yourself for all the world to see?! :blink:

I guess another move is in my near future. Off to roam with the yeti...

:huh:

my FAVORITE part of the day!

Do you have any brains in the fridge? Zombies LOVE brains :o Hot dogs will do if you don't have any brains on hand.

I think it may be time for you to strike up a conversation with Mr. Shufflufigus. Who knows, perhaps he's some wealthy old man in the early stages of dementia...it's never too late to meet Mr. Right... :huh:

Ummmmm . . . . with Robert Goulet (or therebouts) :huh:

elye Community Regular

Richard, the Witness Protection PrograMME gives you choices as to where you will relocate...Ottawa has been a wonderful new home for me. Can be cool, however...

Bob and Vince aren't together up there...Bob Goulet is in his OWN special place in Heaven, where the beautiful voices go. Ya know, on gossamer wings, cherubic bugling, all that stuff :)

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes, this is my plan....offering up the plate of what brains I have left to entice, then will charm him with transfixing gab.......

I can see it now...Thriller in Susie's neighborhood...where's Vincent Price when you need him! :P

a confession: :ph34r:

I downloaded "Thriller" onto Ipod yesterday - put it on the "walking" playlist.....excellent walking tempo....it was my paean to Halloween...........

how embarassing.....

Other embarrassing songs on the Ipod:

"Hot in Herre" by - Nelly? (why IS it spelled/pronounced like that? is it his metal teef?)

"wannabe" - Spice Girls

"I want it That Way" - Backstreet Boys (reminds me of my niece, summer when she was 16 and lived with me)

"Rapper's Delight" - The Sugarhill Gang

"Hollaback Girl"

"gettin jiggy with it"

"Bust a Move" - who knows

:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

and that's the entire list of my embarassing songs.

Good gawd, look at the time...........heading out now............

      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."  
    • 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.
