Evening sillies,

I have found a new very-un fun activity. House Hunting....sounds like it would be fun....not so much.

any of my silly friends got room at their house for a quiet married couple and an overly big lovable feline?

OK, I was procrastinating refreshing my thoughts and I realized that I had very few friends in my profile dealie, so I've added everyone on the last two pages.

I'll be expecting marshmallows from all of you.

Would you like large or mini marshmallows? Plain or flavored? In the millenium we have options!

Now stop it!!!! Just STOP that right now! You can take that kind of talk to ANOTHER THREAD!!!!!!!!!! You all go over to Mango's makeup cult thread, and use that kinda nonsense over there, why dontcha. We don't need no stinkin' statistics and data and variables and stuff like dat here.

You want to send the brainiacs over to the make-up thread? :huh: LOL

Will the multivariate analysis anova (or whatever) stuff help us choose our blush shades? :blink:

(If so come over, please. We will add your data to Donna's spreadsheet. :wacko:)

hmmm, I guess we could use skin tone as the independent variable and degree of liking as the dependent variable, then compare how well each blush shade was liked for each skin tone...

Seriously though, having your own house is very cool, and well worth the trouble. And when it comes to signing that big loan agreement, keep in mind something my dad told when I was house hunting - it's not your money, don't stress over it.

Think about it. You're living in a place that technically isn't yours, that you paid for with money borrowed from someone else. Whatever happens, you're ahead.

Well lets put it this way. we pay 900 in rent alone...then all utilities. Its time for a place of our own where the walls will be colors and not white blah! We want to have something show for our hard working.

and, of course, lucky will be expecting his own room. Not that he'll use it, mind you, but it should be there on the off chance he'll want a little solitude.

Amanda, that's exciting! A big step, and scary at first, but once you do it you can start building equity. Rent payments you never see again, but mortgage payments are an investment. Move up here with us!!! Then I won't have to courier our shared brain such a great distance..... :lol:;)

My neighbor below and I are good friends and we keep joking about buying houses next to each other. John came up with a solution, we are going to look for a double house which has both sides for sale. We would each buy our side. I was always against duplexes but like John said if I knew my neighbor it would be better. She thought the idea was good too. She too is looking for a house. She had a baby in October and with all the money in rent plus all the problems we have with those neighbor kids, its time for us to move on.

Go for it, Amanda. You can not make a better investment than your own home. As mentioned, rent payments are just gone. Every dollar you put towards the mortgage is investing in your future. And in the US (but not in Canada), you can take a tax deduction for the interest.

Gooooood Mornin' Sillies!

Big project ahead of you Amanda...guess you'll be perusing the real estate ads more than you'll be on here over the next while. :)

From what we're hearing, it is absolutely a buyer's market in the States (a careful buyer!)....So, now's the time--you're in the driver's seat!

Well, the hedgehogs are back....in MY hair this time. Looked in the mirror, and was aghast. Today, I will get this ameliorated, at my hedgehog-be-gone hairdresser... :rolleyes:

Morning Sillies!

Morning Em! you sure were here early!

In the states the buyers market is decent in some areas more than others. Our area is doing well, and the houses that don't sell are dropping price. We are looking at no more than 150,000. This is our comfortable price range. In our area you can get a nice ranch or cape cod for that price.

Have fun at the Hairdresser.

I usually search the house ad's at home. Work is busy these days, which means I actually need to *cough cough* work! Yikes!

How exciting Amanda!!! I always enjoyed house-hunting. Let me know if you need help.

Jess - here are your marshmallows from me: ()_) ()_) ()_) ()_) (There were more, but I was a little hungry and had a snack).

Emily - but hedgehogs are sooooo cute. . . why would you want to get rid of them?

I know they do all white in apartment complexes since they wont have to buy paint every time someone moves out. I am a colorful person. I cannot wait to paint my walls. I am thinking a yellow kitchen and a blue bathroom....maybe a maroon bedroom. We will also set aside a room for our future child. I am getting excited and I have no house yet :):)

Amanda,

I grew up with "beige" parents, lol. Everything was beige. When I bought my condo, I sort of followed in that by painting everything WHITE, lol. After a few years there I couldn't stand it, so I painted my room blue, the spare room yellow, and if I hadn't got sick I would have painted my living room purple and my bathroom pink or green.

Now that I'm better, I'm thinking of painting again...not sure I have the energy, but I definitely want more color.

Oh, and when I bought my condo, the one in front was also for sale...I live in a "4-plex", so it's very possible you can find that situation with your neighbor.

Thank you all you sillies- I hope my silly comes back soon otherwise Jjess and i will be banished to talk about ANOVAs and Multiple Regression and the null hypothesis by PM :P :P :P

:lol:

Has to mean SOMETHING....all these quite famous people showing up on Em's arseuver

I want to know who will get the next arseuver....first twas I in the shape of a hand, then the arseuver made its way to Canada in the shape of MICHEL JACKSON.......I predict that SusieQ will be the next palette on which the arseuver paints itself.

p.s. grOeen is pronounced green - 'tis a superfluous "o" just like cOeliac - - but since the groin phaeries seem to be so helpful and popular, they can stay. ;)

Groin Phaeries!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

oh you need to share that. I could use a few halucinations.

Yep- bring 'em on. I'd like to hallucinate being in a ski lodge in Switzerland with a roaring fire surrounded by blonde Swiss men bringing me cocktails and surrounded by romping Bernese Mountain Dog puppies!

Multi-coloUrs are an absolute must. I'll share some of the interesting theoretical content of my visual art thesis that I did a million years ago...Amanda, you can keep it in mind:

Blue is a coloUr that quells appetite, as we are wired to avoid blueness in nature when choosing food. There are very few natural things to eat that are blue, so our signal to indulge stays dormant when surrounded by this coloUr. Read: Paint your kitchen turquoise, or navy, if you want to keep your weight down.

Yellow can also be good in a kitchen, as it speeds metabolism. It is the most difficult coloUr for the eye to process, so it can be overpowering. It ignites energy for this reason--people lose their tempers more in yellow rooms, and babies cry more in them.

Red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing, therefore should be used in a room where this is desired, i.e., a gym and not a dentist's office. Red rooms make furniture look bigger, and the ceiling lower. Since it is an extreme color, red in an office setting will impede people in negotiations or confrontations.

Green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest coloUr on the eye, and can apparently improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing coloUr, therefore good in almost any room in the house. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. Brides in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize and bring about fertility, so might be good in the bedroom if you're trying to start a family....

But the most relaxing, even tranquilizing coloUr, is pink. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy. Many prisons worldwide have pink throughout, for obvious reasons. Again, good in a bedroom....

TMI!!! Gawd, I got carried away, there..... :huh::rolleyes:

OMG - insomnia - I am up - - :blink: watched the most fascinating show on PBS from 3 to 5 am.......too blurry/bleary to read.......harrumph! now back to bed........

Susie!! Paint your bedroom pink.........

I want to know who will get the next arseuver....first twas I in the shape of a hand, then the arseuver made its way to Canada in the shape of MICHEL JACKSON.......I predict that SusieQ will be the next palette on which the arseuver paints itself.

My arseuveur is now mostly yellowish...a coloUr that speeds metabolism, therefore I expect my arse to become considerably smaller over the next few days..... :lol::lol:

Quite the contrary! I thought that was very interesting :D

We're currently up to our elbows in paint, trying to choose new flooring, and all the other good stuff that comes with a new house. (Amanda, take note). We are doing our bedroom and bath in a beautiful greenish creamy color--hard to describe--I'm glad to see that it will be calm, refreshing and easy on the eye :D

I can picture it exactly! It is all down my hallway, and in our bedroom, in fact. Not quite mint green, as there is more yellow and white in it....and a slight greyish hue....what would I call it?....gonna drive me nuts...... :rolleyes:

Yep--the paint company calls it "Mountain Getaway"--but that's really no help :lol:

Exactly--not mint--and definately a slightly greyish hue.....in fabric, I think it would be described as "heathered". I think :huh:

      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.
