Finding the first suggestion of a parade (by Emily, as it turns out) took me back 131 pages, to post number 3021 on page 202. And that was only a month ago. I have been reading off and on all day, and am now on page 244. I started on page 280 yesterday, so I still have a lot to catch up on. You people here are, well, I'm not quite sure of the right word for it.

The St Remy brandy helped last night, but this thread calls for something serious. A new, non-feline avatar is called for! :lol: Cheers!

Wow!!!! We ARE impressive! . . . and I'm sure the alcohol makes our previous rantings and ramblings much more HeLarryUs!

I do believe our founder may have been glued to his binoculars as patti siggested looking for honeymooners- hoping to capture their mojo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ph34r:

:o YES!!!!!!!!!!! do you think he's GOT his mojo back?????????? Hoping for a report on Tuesday.................... I HATE it when Richard abandons us!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

harrumph!!!!!!!!!! :P

He's a secret silly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (cause, who knew????????)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I know, complete bastardization............ :ph34r: Obviously my palate is VERY pedestrian.............. :lol: :lol:

OMG - - do you think IMPRESSIVE was the word he was going to use? Because I don't. :lol: :lol: :lol: And note that he referred to us as "you people" - - firmly attempting to establish himself as - something OTHER than us. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Peter, this is fantastic. I'm SO pleased you've joined us, and talk about doing things right--none of this jump-right-in, try-to-stay-afloat-and-catch-up nonsense. Peter is studying us, getting the history, perhaps laying the groundwork for a new direction in this madness...Your name means "rock", Peter, but I bet you can bring a lot more to us here than solid, strong reason. WE CAN'T HANDLE ANY OF THAT!

Your avatar says it all...... :lol:

Mygawd...we've been circling through this vortex for a lot longer than I thought. I think this kind of thing commonly happens within vortexes--time bends, and perhaps even disappears completely. I have spent a moment on here, and the sun has set, the kids are suddenly home from school, Gus very badly needs out...an hour, not a moment. :lol: Guess it'll be 100 pages back to hit the Parade Plans, Peter (wow...that alliteration should be put into a song--so catchy! "Peruse our Parade Plans, Peter"...)

Emily of the North........I just HAVE to comment on this e'er-so-poetic and APT musing of your'n......a moment.......a spot of time........just a wee second.........and then BAM - - indeed, the setting sun, whining dingos, a burnt college-educated turkey breast.............

:lol:

that really describes how my life has been since the internet entered my world...............

:lol:

Amanda!!!!!!!!!!!! She surfaces for air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wub:

yes, out of this world, indeed..............

To where shall our parade head now?? things are just disintegrating..........people, to quote a line from...from..................well, it was Wallace and Gromet, was it.........The Wrong Trousers? no...it was another one.........................

people........... "get yourselves together down there!"

:lol:

Our PARADE needs a new purpose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh where, oh where, is my zombie man, and future husbnad..........I miss my half-naked zombie man..............

OK . . . with all the Thanksgiving plans being mentioned, here is how ours is panning out:

Background: Dad had a stroke several years ago. Loss use of his right side. Can shuffle for short distances, can't speak but understands perfectly . . . you wouldn't believe how opinionated and bossy he is for a man who can not speak!!! Mom had recent major medical issues (that I won't go into here but fingers crossed that she's through the worst of it). Mom is normally the one that makes the Thanksgiving Day Feast. If it's not her, then my Uncle does it - kind of like a pitch-in. This is the first year that we have to maintain gluten-free menu items for my kids . . . normally wouldn't be that big of a deal since I provide manual labor during meal preparation and can keep an eye on things. Mom & Dad live 300 miles away. Here's the phone call:

Me: Mom, just wanted to let you know that I got a turkey breast that I will bring with me that I will make for the kids so you don't have to figure out what turkey to buy.

Mom: Well, I guess I'll get another breast and maybe a ham.

Me: How many are coming?

Mom: So far, 22.

Me: Who's cooking?

Mom: You.

Me: <Silence>

Mom: Ashley said she'll peel the potatos.

:huh::huh::huh:

:lol:

What!!???!!!

That might not be good!!! NOT GOOD AT ALL!!! He could be gathering evidence!!!! Who sent him back?!!! What were you thinking!!??!!

Um, . . . hey Peter, um . . . we were just kiddin' around . . .

OMG - who's Ashley, and.........can she bring a freakin' salad, maybe? OMG - - I feel for you......we had 25 at dinner yesterday and she ordered ALL of it from a restaurant - no one had to do anything - - EXCEPT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Dude, you TOTALLY need to enlist some help.....................

What!!???!!!

Um, . . . hey Peter, um . . . we were just kiddin' around . . .

We can have our own spot in the Macy's Day parade if we wanted. Or we could do our own little Thanksgiving parade too. Peter, what would you like to do in our parade? If you haven't heard we have quite the celebrity line-up?

Isn't the answer obvious??? We're Going to New York!!! It's almost time for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! We've got to use the time between now and then to get things cleaned up and make a few repairs. Some of those floats were in quite a shambles after the Amanda's Wedding Parade. Not to mention the smell of Hoff wee that has permeated the air. Will Febreeze get rid of that?

psawyer Proficient

I'm now on page 269. The drink in the current avatar is Beefeater gin with a bit of dry vermouth, shaken with ice and then strained. St Remy is a brandy that I occasionally sip neat, as I did last night. Somehow, alcohol seems to make it easier to understand parts of this thread. :P

So we're goign to New York? YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Richard...........get ready for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the smell of Wee and Yeti............well, isn't there a special Febreeze for that? I have one for my car but I swear I saw a Febreeze Wee-be-gone version at Big Lots the other day.........hard to find, though...........

OMG do you know what some pundit said the other day about the writers' strike? It was something like..............PLEASE don't let there be another David Hasselhoff eating-food-off-the-floor episode while the writers are on strike................

:lol:

SEE??????????? there's that vortex of which Emily spoke!!!!!!!!!! I came back to check my ebay progress, and BAM, 30 minutes later, I"m STILL HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wacko:

Are you talking about THE Media Pundit? As in... Open Original Shared Link Probably not, because that would just be too crazy a coinkidink. But it just so happens that The Media Pundit I just gave a link to is a Master Blogster Extraordinaire, otherwise known as my little brother! Check it out.

Reading back that much is a veritable AValanche of silliness. And, as always, when confronted w/ an avalanche, . .. . . .. .. .

. . . .wait for it . . . . . .

<green-puke-face emoticon here>

OMG - brandy could make me vomit - - :o:blink:

I TRIED to be a brandy drinker...and a scotch drinker.......but dang, those things could just make me THROW UP. I have to stick with wine adn candy-flavoUred cocktails, or mojitos, that's about it.....

HOWEVER - - at a campfire a couple of years ago a nice lady was sharing her B & B wtih us - anyone know if that's gluten-free? it was MIGHTY TASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: Now THAT spirit, I could drink. ;)

So good old NYC it is!!! Danny is smiling, he is a NY native and says that he will enjoy promoting the store in NYC.

OMG! tell Danny we are going to meet at his parking lot for the preparations. ;) AND afterwards for a free gluten-free feast, let him know he'll be preparing it. This will be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG Janet my avatar-stealing friend!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Does that photo just crack you UP??????? Annie looking so pained...as my friend said, tika was really the better model (looked bored, though).....with Annie, as usual, it was "all about her." (she was trying to hold my hand the whole time during the photo shoot) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Annie's purse did fetch $109. Mommy is pleased. Got the NICEST note from the dog-owner who bought it......her Bichon is in renal failure. :( But she will have a nice purse to match her vintage Ferragmo pumps from the 90's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:P

off to bed.

xoxo

P.S.

SARAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I will be STUDYING your bro's blog!!! How funny is that!!!!! DID HE make mention of a striking writer's disappointment if the Hoff is seen eating food off the floor????? I will scrutinize the site...................... Does he live in Hollywood? Can he get me a job as an extra? I"ve done it twice - - I promise I won't make any trouble ;)

DingoGirl Enthusiast

p.s. Tom - - clearly you ahve too much stuff. It is time, my friend, to liquidate. My models will not travel, however, for less than 10k a day - apiece. You are on your own. :lol:

I'm not sure, but it sounds like something he'd find amusing.

:lol: He writes from right here in NC, but he'd love to move out there eventually. He does have a few big writer buddies out there, though, and his site's gotten a ton of recognition.

He's been out to LA, and is going again next year. That's saying a lot when you're from NC. :ph34r: I gotta tell you guys, and it's ok to laugh- California almost seems like another planet to me. Although I've done plenty of traveling north, and a little south, I've never been off the east coast. Ah well, someday.

PS- My best friend keeps trying to get me to "pare down" my stuff, and I keep trying... but I just can't do it anymore! I already have a shed full of stuff I need to take to Goodwill, but I keep procrastinating. If we lived closer to town, I could get somebody to come and haul this crap off for me. <_<

PPS- Besides... I like my crap. What if I walk into Goodwill and see somebody carrying around one of my kids' baby shirts? I'd cry.

tom Contributor
Wow!!!! We ARE impressive! . . . and I'm sure the alcohol makes our previous rantings and ramblings much more HeLarryUs!

Does the mint make a mojito an old-school candied quaffable?

Is B & B one-a-them CONE-yaks?

mmmmmmm

P.S. Book me for 2-3 days next wk w/ the obviously EEEsential Supermodels?

And hehe, until I read through I meant to say eCongrats on the 1,784,628 Lira & "now when do I get my purse?"! :P

Ridgewalker Contributor

Ok... between Susie's projectile cupcakes, and my bizarre gritty gravy, this Thanksgiving is turning out to be dangerous. :ph34r:

I cannot make gravy.

Not if my life depended on it.

Gravy hates me, and I.... well, I love gravy! :P Er, actually I love my mom's gravy. Problem solved! I'll make Mom make the gravy! :D

Either that ...or Scott sent him in as one of his most trusted mods (not like Bev) to see just what exactly we're all on about :ph34r:

Will I like it, straight up?

:lol: Darling of COURSE you will

This sentence cracks me up - utter nonsense - I LOVE IT

Not to mention the smell of Hoff wee that has permeated the air. Will Febreeze get rid of that?

Nah - read the small print on the back of the can

''do NOT use on HOFF WEE ......apparently the aroma is combustable :huh:

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      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.
