Attention Sillyville members. We have your Richard. He says we are all beautiful. We will only release him if you place one meeelion dollars in unmarked twenties in a duffle bag and ship it to Everyday Minerals so we can all buy more makeup. Then you will have your Richard back and we will all have more makeup and be even more beautiful. It's a win win.

If you do not comply with our demands, we will all perform makeovers on said Richard until he looks like Amy Winehouse after a one week bender. You have been warned.

Don't hate us because we are beautiful!

Signed, the Everyday Minerals Cult

PS - I'm not a girly girl either, but that other thread is a lot easier to keep up with than this one. It's hard to get all the jokes without slogging through 8K posts. And I do look beyootiful in that makeup......

....editing due to being busted for too many emoticons.....

All right...what's our quota on emoticons, per post? Ten? Fifteen? Must we count those that are in posts that we are responding to, and are within our posts? Can we bank emoticons? If I use none in this post, do I get to carry them over to my next one? Do all emoticons carry the same weight and value? Is the ever-popular :lol: worth, say, 3, and the rarely called-upon -_- worth 1? What if I'm using metric...do I get more?

It's truly confounding, the emoticon protocol....or emoticol..... :rolleyes:

Mmmmmmmm....you're gonna hafta give us some time, here....

The temptation to see King Richard in the image of Ms. Winehouse is positively irresistable. May want to leave him over there with them she-wolves... :P

Oh what a challange, a mere 500+ pages to catch up on. I will make this my mission as I refuse to be left out! I understand Richard is being held hostage on the makeup thread...better hope the make overdoes not start on Saturday, it is "Sassy Saturday" makeup. You may not recognize him when he returns, he may come back as Rikki....! OK, so I am reeled in, hook, line, and sinker.

this.......dental maintenance system.....bad-breathed Annie is most intrigued.

Peter - what is this thing? Are they sold in the US? Annie does not enjoy the tooth-brushing experience and is intrigued by Gus's response.....

I posted the name earlier today, but Open Original Shared Link The brush is midway down the page.

If you Google the name, it is sold online, but it is probably available in many pet specialty retailers.

The first fifty pages are a bit slow . . . you may just want to skim through. From what Peter tells us, we funnier if you're drinking alcohol at the same time.

A little slow, but I got it!

My fellow sillies, I am also a member of the mad make-up cult and I am in no way a girly girl :lol:

Really, none of us are.....................well, except for Mango (right Mango?? :lol::P )

But really, my on-line make-up friends are some of the silliest on this forum, they will fit in nicely here......AND I don't think they will scare away easily (Emily ;) )

Oh, and I predict there will be a Richard sighting when Lost starts back up again :D

(Love the "keels over" usage too!)

I attempted make-up which is a rare thing for me....I almost looked like a clown so I had to start over LOL....

D'oh! :lol:

peekin in on this thread.... .

Nice to meet you all!

Hi babinsky / "2nd Donna" !!!!! :lol:

You only have about 550 pages to read to get caught up . . . better get started.

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaa-net!!

Tryin' to beat Em to the punch on the scaring away?

I need to go check over there, speaking of the Chrome thread...Gad, it's like I've got both a home and a cottage, and I'm having to flit back and forth, maintaining two properties. How on earth do people get entrenched in a dozen threads at once?...Too much for my wee brain... :rolleyes:

I know...this is the ONLY thread I can stay with. As we ALL know, it is the MOST IMPORTANT one!!!!!!!! :P

I am becoming famous today :)

OMG- Amanda- you are going to be a supermodel, the likes of which the world has NEVER see. Claudia Schiffer? Bah..... Cindy Crawford? Nothing on you!

Pillow fight .. . .eh :mellow:

Pillow fight in their underwear???? Now THERE's a draw!!!!! :D;):lol:

Wooohoooo!!!! :D:):D

Yes Tom- pillow fights ALWAYS occur in our underwear..you just keep telling yourself that :P

Take your own food (good junk food like candy and chips). Don't let them reach into your bag of chips. Get it for them or pour it out of the bag . . . the rest of it, you should know . . . stay up too late, make too much noise, watch scary movies and giggle too much . . . try not to laugh when you have pepsi in your mouth or it'll come out your nose and burn!

AND DON"T BE THE FIRST ONE TO GO TO SLEEP!!!!

Don't know how I could've forgot that one . . . it could have been disasterous . . . sharpie mustache . . . frozen bra . . . oh the possibilites!

janet- You would have been invited to all my sleepovers...don't forget the putting your hand in a glass of warm water trick. Moo hoo ah ha ha!!!!!!!!!!

Oh No!!! It just dawned on me. It's all starting to make sense. They're holding Richard hostage. I imagine that anytime soon, we'll see a ransom note . . . demanding an outrageous amount of money to fund their make-up addition.

The sad thing is....Richard probably thinks he has died and gone to Heaven :rolleyes:

A funny from last night:

Lucas brushed his teeth and I asked him if he did a Good Job. So he gives a big toothy grin to show me-- and Ezra immediately throws his hands over his eyes, keels over, and starts yelling- "My eyes! My eyes! Too shiny! Too shiny, my eyes!" :rolleyes:

OMG- your kids are HYSTERICAL!

Look everybody . . . I went fishin' over in the cosmetics thread and I realed in a babinsky!!!

Uncle ray sends his love....

Italian Confession

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl".

The priest asks, "Is that you, little Tommy Funachelli?"

"Yes, Father, it is."

"And who was the girl you were with?"

"I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation."

"Well, Tommy, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"

"I cannot say."

"Was it Teresa Volpe?"

"I'll never tell."

"Was it Nina Capelli?"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."

"Was it Maria Piriano?"

"My lips are sealed."

"Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?"

"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."

The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, Tommy Funachelli, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."

Tommy walks back to his pew, and his friend Nino slides over and whispers,

"What'd you get?"

"4 months vacation and five good leads......."

Hey, did you guys know that you can use the forum's "search" to get the answers to questions like this? (Read with the appropriate "know-it-all" tone . . . well, not the Oracle Peter "know-all" tone, but the one that's more sarcastic).

The Max. no. emoticons per post is 20.

Take care,

Oh, and I predict there will be a Richard sighting when Lost starts back up again :D

Perhaps . . . but apparently he's going to look like a skanky Amy Winehouse (is that redundant?). I'm sorry but I just don't have a meelion dollars, but I'll contribute. Let me take a look at what I've got in my purse . . . OK, I'll chip in $6.73, a slightly used chapstick, some cottonballs (which are apparently useless to me, but maybe the EM girls will like), and a fingernail clipper. Anybody else?

and now we have a conundrum . . . what are we going to call Babinsky aka Donna#2? As you can see, we've already had a mix up . . .(sorry Donna#2, you don't actually get a say in this)

D2?

Babs?

Surely there's got to be something funnier than this?

Well, perhaps I could try. Silly really is the universal language - forget all that Esperanto hooey. But I still have to be a part of the makeup thread too. One can be silly and made up at the same time. Look at Courtney Love and Madonna. Perfect examples. :blink:

cruelshoes Enthusiast

Dear Sillyville - We really expected to have our money by now, but when we tried to order our last load of eyeliner, we discovered that you have not yet coughed up the meeelion we asked for. We now up our demands to include the cash, a slightly used chapstick, some cottonballs, and a fingernail clipper.

I think Richard is starting to like it here. We're teaching him all about tweezing eyebrows and exfoliation. He keeps asking when the pillow fight starts, but we're not buying it. We've changed our mind about the makeover. Right now we're leaning more toward a cross between Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister and Robert Smith from The Cure. We think we can put this combo on MTV and make boatloads of money which we will use to buy lipgloss.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely, the ever patient and ever beautiful EM girls.

(Here's hoping this Richard person that I have never spoken to has a good sense of humor. I am supposed to be cleaning my kitchen right now, but this is much more fun.)

Date night did not work out. We got to see John's brother who came home last minute from college and surprised us all.

So I was dressed up and looking pretty...we did get to Chili's but it wasn't the same.

I guess we are going to try again tonight....we need a night out on our own.

DEAR GOD!!!!!!!!!!!..........(poor Richard)....you can actually MAKE someone look like Amy Winehouse with JUST make-up????????.............without the aide of hard drinking, illegal drug taking, bulimic sessions???????????

Hey, did you guys know that you can use the forum's "search" to get the answers to questions like this?

Well...yes. But I wanted to bring up the metric system. It is actually quite a resource for comedic material. Decametres and milligrams...a scream! And, the best thing: I only weigh 60 kilograms!

...Hmmmm....Let's wait until we get to know Babinsky/Donna a little better. Something will spring forth....actually, she must tell us if Babinsky is her last name, or a nickname due to her being a very attractive teenager. :D

Now, it is truly FABULOUS that we have these Silly Newbies, Colleen and Donnawhatever. Jess, this is probably a job for the reigning monarch, but I'll go ahead and tell you two guys that there actually is an official entrance exam, an obligatory summative that you must complete. Some sample questions that you may face:

1. Do humans have anal glands?

2. Would it generally be considered a positive experience if one is teabagged by a friend? How about a stranger?

3. In the space provided, draw a flowchart depicting the process of yeti inseam measurement.

They get progressively more challenging....

Yes - he will looke quite bootylicious in these. I think we have a Sir Mix a lot C.D. around here somewhere. "I don't want none unless you got buns, hon"

:lol::lol::lol: ........and Open Original Shared Link :lol:

He did mention something about an impending wardrobe malfunction so these will definitely come in handy.

As soon as the current tweezing session is over and we have Richard sufficiently manscaped, we will send our courier over to pick up both of these things. You will know her by her perfect beehive hairdo, cloepatra eyeliner and powder blue shadow.

Richard would LOOOVVVVEEE this. You don't start a thread like this if you don't have a sense of humor. On groundhog day, Richard will pop his head above his computer at work and determine if he's got 6 more weeks of paper-shuffling before he can rejoin the thread.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.
    • Jacki Espo
      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure. 
    • Mari
      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
