Good morning, Crazy Brethren...

New York Parade sounds fantastic to me. Gus, my dad and I will have to leave from here quite early, as the lineups to get across border are HEINOUS...Canuck shoppers cashing in. Who could my father become to speed things up, maybe play on the guards' sympathies, or subtly indimidate them? Perhaps his Central/South American Firing Squad Commander. Hmmmmmmm.....could help, or really hurt the cause..

Talked to my Northern MIL (I may be Northern, but she is Uber-North--think Yukon tundra), and she informed me that there is only one thing that even begins to mask yeti-wee smell: motor oil. She must scrub the side of her cabins every once in a while, and it's quite an enviornmental danger. But the poop? Ah, that must be left, as it has magical properties. After discussing these things with her, I sometimes wonder if she smokes it. :o:lol:

Now, back to you, Peter....I'm hoping that the understandable dependence on liquor while reviewing this thread is not occurring elsewhere in your life. This inner dialogue had best not be happening: "What! It's time for work...I've been reading this thread for two hours! Geez, I'd better pack a quick one to take with me while I try to digest all that I've read...hic!"..... We warn you, strange and terrifying things can happen to those not commited nor completely ready to serve here. That pathetic, shaking man you see crouched in the alley as you stride by, eyes vacant, hat upturned? He has been here, briefly. Maybe a hundred pages back, perhaps near the beginning. That desroyed man roaming Susie's streets, eviscerated and lost? He was likely here, too. Just a warning of what can happen within this vortex. Know the signs, and we are here to help....

I was worried it was just me ... I could only read the first line or two.

Peter, congrats on being able to understand this with the help of some alcohol! Even through all my brain fog/mental confusion, I STILL understand NOTHING! With the exception of Uncle Ray's jokes!

Amanda, how does one get pneumonia on a honeymoon???? :huh:

CarlaB Enthusiast
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

I find it hysterical that you are reading it all! So, are you drinking in the middle of the afternoon as you are catching up?

When I miss a few days, I just jump back in .... going back doesn't help in understanding anything. :lol: It might be entertaining, however.

We just got back from Naples, FL yesterday ... it was great! The convention was at the Ritz Carlton .... you wouldn't believe the cars there .... a few Rollls, three Astin Martins (didn't see James Bond though), a Bentley .... and a Bugatti! I Googled Bugatti .... they go for 1.7 million! :o

Now back to normalcy ....

. . . . I gotta tell you guys, and it's ok to laugh- California almost seems like another planet to me.

Having been given permission, hear my hearty laugh! :lol::lol:

Once during a 12 or 14 hr flight, I decided to count how many of our 50 states I'd been to. <oops did I just dangle something inappropriately?> It req'd much thought and drawing a little map of the U.S.

I think it came to 38.

Missing all the NE and the upper western ones. Gonna git'em ALL someday! :P:)

P.S. Y'all aren't REALLY gonna keep me out of the Badass Snow Poodles just for being able to write in the snow are ya?? :(

Please!!! I have decades of band experience!!

:lol: Don't think so! It's funny, my 11 year old son loves cars, so we told him about this one. He said, "Wow, that car is over a million dollars!" I had never heard of it before ... hubby had, but hadn't a clue how much it cost .... it looked rather expensive. I wish I had seen who was driving it.

My My we are on the quiet side today.

You always are when I'm having a bad health day .... :(

When I worked in Cincinnati, I worked with a guy originally from NY. When he was still in NY, he thought that once you got to the Mississippi River, California was about another 4 hour drive. :o:lol: Really smart guy, too. . . I guess he just thought that the US map was always drawn out of proportion. Then he moved to Ohio and figured out the country was a little bigger than he thought.

P.S. Y'all aren't REALLY gonna keep me out of the Badass Snow Poodles just for being able to write in the snow are ya?? :(

Oh . . . don't sell us short . . . we can write our names in the snow. It just requires a lot of shuffling footprints along the way!

"Tom and The Badass Snow Poodles appearing live at the Toronto Convention Centre"... That sounds great. At one time on here, while planning the first parade, we were talking about who can play what. Well, now we have the makings of a band, and we've got a GREAT name! Perhaps we can quickly arrange a song, climb up on one of the floats, and perform it in NY. That could be our breakout chance...

I notice my typing is not getting smaller this time. This puzzled me, as well, as I hadn't noticed the squinching up of lines in any other post. Embarrassment? Man! My problem is complete lack of embarrassment, at all times. I've no shame, and no regulator emotion in place, I'm afraid... :rolleyes::o

DingoGirl Enthusiast
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.

:lol:

Um, Sarah, I am a CA native - trust me - it IS another planet. :blink: Well, southern Cal and parts of northern and nearly all coastal.......unfortunately I live in the MIDDLE. :angry: Sooooooooo pedestrian here, I do not belong. But, I do like the wide open spaces and the farmlands around me, and being able to see the Sierra Nevada about 2/3 of the year, and knowing it's an hour away. :) And I did get to live in Monterey for 7 years........one of the most beautiful spots on God's green earth.........

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

:o I know.......I am askeert.......................

That pathetic, shaking man you see crouched in the alley as you stride by, eyes vacant, hat upturned? He has been here, briefly. Maybe a hundred pages back, perhaps near the beginning.

oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Is emily getting funnier? Pass along that Yeti poop, will ya? :lol:

*snort* she said eviscerated :lol: Or, he could have been disemboweled........ :huh:

YOU NUT!!!!

I notice your text also gets smaller the nuttier you sound embarrassment??

Yes, I noticed this too..................is she losing her mind, maybe? :lol:

Back is in serious trouble today folks - - -been doing my physical therapy - - dear gawd I am ruined from it - - is this normal? went back to bed today - stayed there until 11 a.m. - and cannot sit at computer today, sillies - - so CARRY ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone needs to bring me a cognac or something.

How come there's no other major silly Celiac living in my town??????????????????????? :lol:

Maybe......At least others noticed my lines squinching together, so it was not simply me hallucinating. Someone else type a long post like I did and see if it happens to them. I'm beginning to suspect it's a vendetta against me from the board, trying to get me to shorten things up (not the first time in my life such hints have been dropped....sigh...)

Well, Tom's in the same state now! And seeing as it's only a four hour drive from the Mississippi River to California, the two of you are practically next door neighbors!

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!

OMG- Peter is SO in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This may call for some absinthe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always wanted to try but it's illegal here in the US...don't know why????

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

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

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Janet- Ashley will PEEL THE POTATOES???? Tell her to PEEL THIS :o

OMG- Carla- saw a BUGATTI. We need one in the parade!!!!!!! The yeti can drive it!!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! I think being able to write your name in the snow is one thing women got jipped on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

macy's parade? NYC! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm wearing this Open Original Shared Link

because metallic silver IS the new black.....or is Gus the new black? :huh:

:lol: Yeah, he's about 5 minutes away.

OMG- Peter is SO in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This may call for some absinthe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always wanted to try but it's illegal here in the US...don't know why????

Well, absinthe, um, burns holes in teh brain....hence its other name, Wormwood. No, it's made from Wormwood. I think. Well.. it burns holes in the wood on the tops of bars. :blink: Or is that just urban legend? Um, it's about 80% alcohol. OMG I DID get a small vial of real absinthe, from France!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Green Faerie - it was magic - my co-worker's father was an ostentatious judge in Monterey, and had some, of course. They decanted a small vial for me. Gail and I drank it, over teh sugar cube and everything, mixed w/ water and ice.......

Hey, could THAT be my problem???????? Why am I no longer painting crazy FAUVE paintings?????????? BECAUSE MY ABSINTHE RAN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG quick, SOMEONE GET US SOME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Bev - what have you started????????

BRING BACK ABSINTHE!!!!!!!!! Check this out, adn look at the third paragraph. oh what joy! It's NOT a hallucinogen, and not as eeee-villle as was always thought!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

'Tis now the official beverage of the Gustavian Silly Yak Lunatic Madness Bacchanal and Parade!!!!!!!!

:lol:

elye Community Regular

I'll bring the absinthe to the parade. Canada remains one of those twelve countries that has quietly kept producing and selling the stuff. Fauves, you say? Have a look at Emily Carr's early work, or ANY of the Group of Seven's...What inspired those horrific totem faces? Those crazy trees and gardens?

I hereby proclaim (with the Fair Queen Amanda's consent, of course), Canadian Absinthe as the official drink of the Augustus Silly Yak Lunatic Bacchanal and Parade!

Do you think yetis can manage absinthe?

Do we care? :lol:

      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.

      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.
