:lol::lol::lol:

Take a bucket . . . or better yet, take your husband so he can hold your hair.

Ohh, ok.... well now you may be starting a guessing game by saying something that tantalizing! Yep, Brian's good for that. :lol: Speaking of whom, he sure is pharting a lot tonight, and lemme tell ya they are BAD.

This character's name was Gaylord Bolero. :lol: Dad tells me he looked exactly like a man(?) who would lead a bizzare sect.

Stay tuned....

I can't wait, I love your pics!

I'm guessing some very high proof alcohol would be needed to extract the active chemical. Ummm . . . I think I need to need to leave it at that. I'm afraid this could all be misconstrued by someone who happens upon it :huh: . I'm not sure that every one on the outside understands that what happens in Sillyville is pretty much confined to our very active imaginations. I don't want to get kicked out of gluten-free world for looking like a morning glory pusher. :unsure: That dang mail carrier of mine is going to get me into trouble! :lol:

What happens here, stays here? Like, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Hmm. It is pretty easy for an outsider to peek into our world. If you see a guest reading the topic, you never know who it might be. Even Jacquie sometimes visits us as a guest.

Susie, just throw 'em back whole...Although perhaps smashing them up may cause the hallucinogenic properties to be released more freely....

Do you have any rolling papers? How 'bout smoking them? :lol:

:lol::lol:

I have often wondered about the origin of this word. Why a horn reference to describe this....feeling?

...a stuffed bulldog named Toro, which who whom my brother would call....

(Couldn't resist completing the grammatical editing fer ya, Ptaum!).... :ph34r:;)

Okay, Em, let's consider a visual image. A horn is a hard part of the anatomy that protudes upward. In English from an earlier time, to "have the horn" was to, well, I think you can get the idea. If you had the horn, then you were horny. In more recent usage, it has come to mean a state of arousal in either sex.

Alright then . . . it's a play on my last name but I'm not willing to post my last name so that's about as far as I'll go.

I dare ya. My last name is Sawyer, but then that's not so hard to figure out. I don't really care if anybody here figures out my name. My phone numbers are not listed, so you can't find me that way. If you google my name you will mostly learn about a retired professor in England who is my namesake. Searching on just Sawyer will find lots of hits, but most have no relevance. If you search on my brother's name, you will find plenty of hits, but you have to drill down into his web site to find mention of me (by first name only) in his long bio.

Well, when I first joined this forum, I promised my husband that I would not use the kids' names or our last name. I think he thinks someone might wade through 500 pages to pick out the clues and then drive across the country to take our kids . . . not really . . . but who knows . . . it all comes down to once it's out there, you can't take it back. I honestly don't care if you (my friends) know my last name, but it's not going to posted on a public forum. If you want to PM me you email, I'll send it to you . . . yeah, hubby doesn't consider PM'ing to be "private" enough.

But here is a hint, my last name isn't as common as Sawyer.

That who/whom'll get me every time.

Keep on calling me on it - maybe I'll learn? :o:unsure:

And btw, just how badly do I over-hyphenate?

And howzabout that semi-colon usage earlier? I thought I nailed it. :lol:

:o Oh I can handle it. I can TOTALLY handle it! Look, see, I'm going back to take another look right now!

(Muttering while walking away: I can handle the poop, oh yesseree bob... I'm no sissy, nuh uh... I can handle the poop...)

Shouldn't the Queen Mutter be able to delegate the poop-handling?

Oh YEAH??? Well I've got some good guesses but I'm not willing to post 'em either! :P

Heehee Em :lol: Your Dad! :lol:

In English from an earlier time, to "have the horn" was to, well, I think you can get the idea.

And Gorgeous comes from 'capable of inducing the engorged state'.

Morning, Sillies...

Oh, boy, Peter...are you snowed under? I'm guessing that huge winter storm is right over you as we speak. It's starting here at lunchtime. Dunno about taking an old man with a walker out in blinding snow squalls and ice pellets, veering off the 417, to his surgery. May have to postpone this one....

Yep, Brian's good for that. :lol: Speaking of whom, he sure is pharting a lot tonight, and lemme tell ya they are BAD.

Sarah! Hope you were charting..... :lol:

Incidentally, this is DH's first official day completely gluten-free. Those scatter plots better be descending awful quick.... :rolleyes:

Oracle Peter has spoken. :lol:;)

This makes sense from a living language perspective. But once again, the liguistic queues are taken from the male. We females are shut out again. :rolleyes::lol: No wonder I couldn't connect horn/phallus....I ain't GOT either one of those!

If you search on my brother's name, you will find plenty of hits, but you have to drill down into his web site to find mention of me (by first name only) in his long bio.

Peter!! Is your brother famous? Could he be our Grand Marshall? Does he march? Twirl a baton?

And howzabout that semi-colon usage earlier? I thought I nailed it.

You use your colon admirably, Tom. :D

Heehee Em Your Dad!

You bet....We now have his walker to decorate, and his Parkinson's Shuffle, to which it is technically referred, looks like a great soft-shoe, so it'll be like he's dancing along the route. :lol:

We were totally ripped off. We were expecting about 6 inches of snow and a snow day. We got about 2 inches and a 2 hour delay since it was suppose to keep snowing and apparently, it has stopped. How anitclamatical.

Morning Sillies!!!

Well the commute was not as bad as I feared. The roads were a little slick but there were more wet patches than ice which made the commute easier.

Here is a funny thing I thought about last night.

My first name is Amanda and my new last name starts with an S, if my middle name was Sara or something my initials would spell out the bad word for butt....A**

LOL

OMG Uncle ray strikes again:

Why parents Drink:

A Mother passing by her son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up Then she saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to ' Mom ' With the worst premonition she opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.

Dear Mom ,:It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing's, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am.

But it's not only the passion... Mom she's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. S he owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.

In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it. Don't worry Mom . I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren

Love,Your Son Jon.

P.S. Mom , none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that's in my center desk drawer.I love you.Call me when it's safe to come home

OMG!....

Was chatting with my dad this evening, as I'm accompanying him to the hospital tomorrow for day surgery (on his eye--nothing serious). I was filling him in on the latest news from Sillyville, and I always preface things by telling him that he is an honoUrary citizen. :lol: He was asking about what other subjects come up on different threads, and I said "everything from diabetes, to insomnia, to heinous neighboUrs, to cultish mineral makeup".

This peaked his interest, so I explained the amusing developments between Sillyville and EM, the kidnapping, the cult status, etc. He was astonished that over 50 pages could be devoted simply to cosmetics, and then his eyes suddenly twinkled (or one eye...his good one). He said, "A cosmetic cult. Do they have a leader?" I said that Mango is in place. He said, "Ah...too bad. You could have introduced my incredible persona from many years ago as your avatar. Boy, would he be perfect as a cosmetic cult leader". SO....I won't say any more...hoping my dad will have found a photo to give me, and we can all be the judge. This character's name was Gaylord Bolero. :lol: Dad tells me he looked exactly like a man(?) who would lead a bizzare sect.

Stay tuned....

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      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.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      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.
