Mornin' Sillies!

I just read The Rainbow Bridge again this morning, and wept anew...what a beautiful piece. I think I am now looking at my animals a little differently...a little longer, perhaps, with my heart swelling a little more. :wub:

On to Silliness!...I'm afraid my silly well is dry at present...anyone? :)

Got this from my sister this morning

Cute

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a new preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?!"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God?!"

The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time."

"GOD is missing, and they think we did it!"

He had some 'splainin to do!

Huge hugs to you and Annie, Susie. Last year I lost my 13 year old cat who had seen me through a lot of major changes in my life. Sometimes our pets are more than our best friends. They hold our hearts for us.

I, for one, don't think Celiacs should ever have to succumb to a stomach virus <_< --I mean, come on, we get enough of that just trying to live life!!! <_<

Queen Jess--can you proclaim this?

OK

I hereby proclaim that NO SillyYaks (or SillyYeti) will be allowed to indulge in stomach viruses. We already take more than our fair share of toilet time and to take advantage of helpless viruses in order to claim MORE toilet time is just seditious.

And as long as we now have a non-posting advocate:

Tika, I know you have a lot to do with getting settled and all, but I would appreciate it if you would have a word with everyone's pets and inform them that there are to be NO MORE ILL HEALTH ISSUES amongst the furred. We have had enough goo to clean up to last us the rest of the year.

I expect complete compliance by all

jerseyangel Proficient

Hi Susie,

Good morning after your long winter's nap :D So glad to hear you two girls are feeling better today.

Yeah--Richard....I used to see him reading once in a while, but I think maybe he's left us for good :huh:

Jestgar Rising Star

AND

In honor of the Tikster everyone will have to use the letter 'R' excessively for the rest of the day.

from wikipedia:

Open Original Shared Link

Dog's Letter

The letter R is sometimes referred to as the dog's letter. This phrase has Latin origins, the Latin R was trilled so it sounds like a snarling dog. A good example of a trilling R is the Spanish word for dog: perro. [2]

Well, there you have it! The Queen has spoken--no more icky viruses, errant fluids or pet goo.

I can live with that :)

I even pmed Richard a few weeks ago just to say hi. Never got a response. He has went MIA since my honeymoon. Maybe I scared him when I went to Rochester for the honeymoon....I cannot keep friends :) I scare them away.

Someone as sweet as you? I don't believe that for a minute :D

I'm sure Richard just got very busy with his new job, and got out of the habit of checking in on the board ;)

Susie and Annie...a little late, but sending my {{{{HUGS}}}} too!

Can you rumage up Richard?

I was thinking of Richard with the passing of our Stinker, and the FABULOUS avatar he pimped of her flying through the air with a Superman cape billowing behind her. Susie, you should put it up again. I want to see this super girl again!

P.S LOVE Gus's new haircut!!!!!!! (takes years off him! :D ) ......frankly I love the sub-standard look with curly tail!!!!!!

It is quite a ridiculous, and yet adorable tail. Very hilarious when he tries to wag it, as it doesn't swish...too tight a curl. It just quivers and his bum goes--very cute, perhaps, in a little pug, but just pathetic with an eighty-pounder... :lol:

Very good...we have a royal edict from our Queen. All Hail!

I was wondering, speaking of our Yeti, if he should perhaps spend a little time at Susie's. I realize that no one will ever take Tika's place, but he would be an enormous furry beast that would be there for a hug, or to take a couple of punches if grieving anger sets in, or just to clean up the house, so Susie can rest. Susie, do you have a hockey bag? Let him take care of it. OH! very important....roll up any carpets if he's coming. :lol::lol:

tom Contributor
BTW...Went to bed last night, and spent the hour before I drifted off choking back full-blown laughter, thinking about simultaneous naked Sillyville posting. .. .. ..

...I'd still like to know what our names would look like...

:lol: :lol:

Forget it lady, I'm keepin' my pants on!!!

Ohhhhh my . .. .

:(

oh, sweet friends, I have very sad news.....

My beautiful, noble girl is gone. :(

For Tika:

"Beauty without vanity,

Strength without insolence

Courage without ferocity

And all the Virtues

Of Man without his vices."

~Lord Byron

:wub:

Ohhhh Susie .. . . .. :(

So very sorry for your loss. :(

Nikki - Rainbow Bridge - beautiful and I'm not ashamed to say I got a little misty.

<but don't tell anyone!>

Susie, I was going to request a tale of Tika. :)

You far exceeded my expectations there. ;)Tonkanese Lizard Stomp :lol: :lol:

And I can just picture you all at Carmel Beach. :)

"Held a job" :lol:

The books! :lol:

Pearls on the Peninsula! :)

She did have a great life and you two were blessed to have each other. <sniff>

AndreaB Contributor

Reading about the loss of Tika and the wonderful life she led brought tears to my eyes. :(:(:(

She's not hurting anymore. She had an extraordinary life and human mother.

Keep those wonderful memories and make more memories with Annie.

Hugs coming your way........I know they aren't the same as the real thing, but with the distance they'll have to do. :wub:

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I second the notion for the Yeti to pay a very special visit to Susie. I also have gotten her a care package and it contains some great PA wine, and some gluten-free goodies. He can bring it to her doorstep :)

Jestgar Rising Star
great PA wine,

Is this one of those oxymorons?

      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.
