Good afternoon. Not much to say, just popping in to see if there are any hot discussion about unique furniture or unusual jewelery. I guess not yet today. :ph34r:

Peeeeterrrr!!!

Good afternoon! I have no genitalia furniture to speak of, and only the priaptic earrings. I am going to the hospital this afternoon, so I will keep my eye out for any such adornments and effects that may be there to report back.

Penis earrings in the geriatric wing....jeez, dunno about that...... :o:lol:

Mygawd.....and I'd be on a horse the whole time. This'd be a trick...I'm quite a hoverer, but that may even challenge my quad strength and innate balance.... :lol::rolleyes:

Tho I never saw it, that movie The Horse Hoverer did seem well-received.

Em? That was YOU???????

:lol:

From Irish Daveyboy's "Happy St. Patrick's Day" link

May those that love us, love us.

And those that don't love us,

May God turn their hearts.

And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles

So we will know them by their limping.

Proximity to The Mystery Spot is my first guess.

:o

:lol:

OMG - that's IT.........

Nicola - were you asking about the Mystery Spot? how do we 'splain that? It's a crooked building......on a slope......said to defy gravity and - it's really cool as a child but - don't adults kinda have it figgered out? :huh:

but yes - clearly the antidote to the Phaerie's magic in them hills.......

Re: the orchard..... WHAT is their tree-killing-problem!? You should file a ground breaking lawsuit because they are sucking all the air and beauty-calm-producing-life out of your environment.

:angry:

I have been forming a letter to the editor in my head.....

sarah!!!!! so glad to see you "rambling" here!!!! (and you're NOT, BTW) And it just does SUCK how sick you and you'n have been....pray to god this clears up soon.......and yes, CHICKEN BUTT COOTIES on the way!! :lol:

"Don't pee on my head and tell me it's raining." :lol:

I used to do this with my barbies as a kid....There was a girl in my class whose face frighteningly resembled my Suntan Barbie's face when I squished it the other way--from the top and bottom.. My friend and I were so cruel....squishing the head and chanting, "Caroline Watson! Caroline Watson!"

Oh...... Any chance ya think Caroline is newly diagnosed, and skimming through these posts? I'll chance it, and leave the name in. But if there's suddenly a new member with a name like "collapsedpiggyface", alert me.

now THIS caused a huge, snorting guffaw........why you DEVIL you!!!!!!!!!!! Indeed, let's hope poor Caroline does not find her way here, into the vortex.....

Um......we did naughty things w/ the Barbies and GI Joe's. :ph34r:

"Let's all walk in calmly". So my son (the oldest in the group) says in a frantic voice . . . "I can't calm down!!!! I can't calm down!!!!" She responded with "I need you to try to calm down". He responded with "I can pretend to calm down." She said "Good Enough!!" and reported that he does a pretty good imitation of "calm".

:lol: :lol:

absolutely brilliant......another big guffaw.......

Just what do you adorn them with???

......and BAM!!!!!!! There's Jess! :lol:

Gosh...I hate that......me smilies have all shifted order in my box (don't you just hate that! ....NO!....I mean... )

:lol: the smilies seem to show up different, all the time. 'tis wackl......and um, YOU, my dear mad lady, are NEVER boring. ;)

Yes, Alex....only good can come of your brother's diagnosis. Just got unfortunate news from Enterolab--my dad's test is negative all around. I remain convinced that he has trouble with gluten, and that his neuropathy, Parkinson's, ataxia are all symptoms, but I don't have the documented proof to give to the retirement residence to have them put him on a gluten-free diet. Sigh...............

:( Very frustrating............

Who knows how long he's had celiac disease and if he would ever had been diagnosed. I feel like I needed to have celiac disease so that he could be diagnosed. Okay . . . enough rambling on about me and my life. There are much more interesting things out there.

Hardly!!!!!! This is a wonderful development about yoru bro, and this could change his life!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK- another Lyme story for you. Last Sunday i woke up convinced I was VERY hungover. This morning, I thought I was having a baby. I'm NOT EVEN kidding- my hips was on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:blink:

so......the Lyme travels around a bit? just so wackl......I say, time for ABSINTHIAN DESTRUCTION of the little buggers!!!!!!! Hope the pain passes quickly......

OMG - I AM going on your dream vacation in Ireland....I am more askeert of the horses than the ghosts..........

Penis earrings in the geriatric wing....jeez, dunno about that......

:lol: they probably wouldn't even notice............

MORNING SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Kissey boy is on his way to Palo Alto, I stayed here - he is attending a family baby shower and, well, announcing my presence in his life to his whole family.....they are a bit in denial about it.....but today's the day when he evidently pounds them over the head with it (though, we decided that subtlety was better here and - my not going would be a little easier to take)............

and GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, we ordered his personalized licence plates...........Yosemite plates to read:

VETIVER

:lol:

(it's in the green/grass scent categories and on our actual first date, whilst I sniffed him like a dog, I proclaimed with great glee that he smelled of the GREEN category/classification of fragrances <this coloUrful irony is not escaping me, BTW> ......like grasses, vetiver, and celery............he LOVES this and so - now he's the only one in the state of CA to have that on his plates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

carry on, my sillies, I am going to Mommy's today..................

:)

Mtndog Collaborator

OMG- Susie is beyond head over heels.......Vetiver as the custom license plate? TOO cute!!!! Wait- we were trying to figure out who was getting busy and since it was Susie's hangover that prompted my last bizarre awakening, perhaps I am psychically linked to her and my "birthing" was related to her :lol: :lol:

OMG- Emily if we go on that trip we can drink absinthe, strengthen our quads and hopefully NOT come home pregnant :P

Bev! Looks like it's just you and me in Sillyville this morning. How are you? How's the bp and your other yucky lymie things? It's difficult to tell with you, as you are always in such great spirits.... :)

I plead the 5th- I'm OK- last two weeks have been stinky poo. Pain in the PICC line arm which freaks everyone out. Had to stop the anitibiotics because my blood pressure was going up so when I went back on them (after just four days) I went into hideous die-off. Spent most of yesterday in bed, today seems a bit better!!!!

Tho I never saw it, that movie The Horse Hoverer did seem well-received.

Em? That was YOU???????

:lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: It was Emily and I. She was my stunt double cuz I just can't hover like she can :P

tom Contributor
Well, I know last Sunday was caused by Tom mentioning that he called Ms PsiouxieQ and she was hungover/still drunk from SoCo. So now the question is: Who the heck got pregnant last night? :rolleyes::P:lol:

:lol:

Has Bev discovered she has a superpower?????!!!!!

Awakening in the mindset of a fellow Silly sounds verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting.

I'm not sure of the timing .. . ..wasn't the faux-hangover a day after?

So maybe it's who got pregnant Thursday??

Manda? My money's on twins by summer, remember!!

<I tawt I taw a DingoGirl>

Has :lol: pseuzee scurried off :lol: to Walgreen's to procure an e.p.t.??? :lol: :lol:

[Edit: oops never miiiiiiiiiiiind .. .there WAS a Dingypost!]

Oh hey Susie!! How'd the rest of Phriday's Phaerie go? Did Kissey join in for a gargantuan gigglefest??

Bev - absolutely (h)anus about your die-off and hideousness of physical state. :( I say, ABSINTHE IN THE PICC LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh hey Susie!! How'd the rest of Phriday's Phaerie go? Did Kissey join in for a gargantuan gigglefest??

:lol: Kissey got here around 8, I had put the Phaerie down by then (actually - -Ptaum may become apoplectic to learn that I poured the rest of my glass - sugar and all - back into the bottle. :o:ph34r::lol: SUCH a plebeian maneuver. :lol: ) Kissey had wine - we watched a movie....and I have to say, we always laugh ourselves silly. 'Tis miraculous, this love we have found..... :wub:

I am ignoring these pregnancy/EPT rumoUrs and questions.

:ph34r:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

On a sadder note, there have been some email exchanges with my former roommate and friend in San Jose......despite her wish to resume things and forgive.....I am afraid that, for now, adn for a very long time, we are through. :(

But, it's okay sillies, I have tremendous joy in my life presently and am able to deal with this....

:)

carry on!!!!!!!!

p.s. Hi Amanda! Halloo Peter!

tom Contributor
Twas a busy weekend, we went to my moms and took Sabrina to breakfast with the Easter Bunny at Wegmans. Very nice. They had a wonderful breakfast buffet and helped me get a safe plate. I will update my avatar in a little bit to show you her new pic. We also met Tammy and Silvia there. It was a great visit.

Sounds marvy! :)

And makes me wish my Mom, Sister (& boys), & I lived in same city. Or even state.

May He turn their ankles

So we will know them by their limping.

:lol:

Nicola - were you asking about the Mystery Spot? how do we 'splain that?

I had no idea.

Too drastic a dichotomy. Tourist trap? Mystical convergence?

and GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, we ordered his personalized licence plates...........Yosemite plates to read:

But I'd hoped 'twere more t'wards a John Hancocked legal document .. .

GAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me that's a LIE!!!!!!

Say yer windin' me up even if ya aren't!!!!

Kissey had wine - we watched a movie....and I have to say, we always laugh ourselves silly.

Yes, but I think the difference, when phully Phaeried up, would be giggling to the point that you've both phorgotten what was phunny, and then THAT phact would launch another 10min "omg-I-can't-even-breeeeeeeeeathe" round of non-stop giggles!!!!!!! :lol:

(Oh . ..hmmm .. . .maybe that ALREADY happens?)

Evening sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seem to have my hubby's hangover today (without touching a drop) - banging headache and achey joints :blink: (Don't you just hate getting someone elses hangover??? by osmosis)

....BUT, me smilies are back where they should be :D

I feel like I needed to have celiac disease so that he could be diagnosed.

Alex, you really are old head on young shoulders ;) ....I agree everything happens for a reason...if my hubby hadn't of been dx'd with celiac disease ,my son never would have either :)

Now that I have been officially deemed to have what it takes to be a New England prepster here is my possible Open Original Shared Link This house also warms my heart and makes me squeal with delight.

Must start playing the lottery immediately! :P

OMG!!!!....those houses are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!

BTW - playing the lottery is COMPULSORY for all sillies, so we may organise (and be able to pay for) the big meeting of the sillies when one of us wins :D

Horseback riding and absinthe do NOT mix. OK- when I get rich SOON I'm Open Original Shared Link! The more, the merrier!!!!!!!

I am more scared of the horses than the ghosts (NEVER rode a horse can you believe!) ....but I'll give it a go....

Well, I know last Sunday was caused by Tom mentioning that he called Ms PsiouxieQ and she was hungover/still drunk from SoCo. So now the question is: Who the heck got pregnant last night? :rolleyes::P:lol:

It bloody well weren't me!!!!!!!!!!! :o

May those that love us, love us.

And those that don't love us,

May God turn their hearts.

And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles

If that don't flush the buggers out - NOTHING will (Oooo, but it WILL burn on the way in :( )

On a sadder note, there have been some email exchanges with my former roommate and friend in San Jose......despite her wish to resume things and forgive.....I am afraid that, for now, adn for a very long time, we are through. :(

I was the Equestrian Acrobatic Consultant on that one. :lol:

Um......we did naughty things w/ the Barbies and GI Joe's. :ph34r:

With us it was Barbies and the guys from the Johnny West Series. They were cowboy types, and there were horses available, as well. I had about ten horses, all with moving joints and tack, quite wonderful. Anyways, the Johnny West cowboys had their clothes painted on, so we couldn't undress them...but they somehow managed to fall into some naughty behavior with Hawaiin Barbie and her sister Skipper... :rolleyes::lol:

WTH is wrong with this family of his? Surely they've seen how content, how settled, how finally happy he is since you scrambled into his life..... You'll straighten them out, Susie..... :)

My absinthetic looooooong lingering tail in giggleland is of a lighter nature than that of conventionally-inebriated laughter and its howling hilarity. ;)

Yep, me too. And it brought about some....fascinating....activities in our Laurentian cabin. As we all sat quietly in front of the fireplace, staring lazily and letting out the odd chortle, I began to speak about the size of DH's head (very large, and appearing even more so since baldness has begun).

This caused a few minutes of giggling, then breathless laughing. Brett suddenly jumped up, and I watched him silhouetted against the firelight as he charged into the bathroom and returned with the scale. "Okay. Who has the heaviest head?" So, he put the scale on the coffe table and we each, in turn, kneeled down and lay our heads on the scale. You wanna talk giggling....

Well, DH's head weighed by far the most. I was laughing too hard to notice where I ranked. And we couldn't laugh AT ALL while our heads were being weighed, as this caused the numbers to jump around. OMG....

Next winter, it's all of us up on those hills, in that cabin......WE MUST DO THIS, SILLIES!!!! :):);)

HEY!!!! We had Johnny West too!!!!!

Great Christmas when me'n'Pete both got our own buckboard sets!!

I never got a buckboard set!!! What is a buckboard set?

(never heard of Hawaiian Barbie but am disturbingly turned on :lol: )

Ptaum! I had you pegged as a Ballerina-Barbie type...... :lol:

I think I may have channeled Emily's horse-hovering at some point (woke up with bowed, achey legs and my head on a scale:P

The following is the 2007 winning entry from an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

This year's term was Political Correctness.

The winner wrote:

"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Where I used to work in the early 1990s, we used to make fun of political correctness, by finding instances of the letters "man" in words that had nothing to do with gender and replacing them anyway with "person."

There was a football (soccer) club we called Personchester United. My job title was personager. The books we gave customers to help them use our products were personuals. Well, you get the drift. We even had a staff member we called Mr. Federperson. Oh, person! It was phunny at the time. Maybe it was just huperson nature. :lol:

Top 'o the mornin' to ya, Sillies! (Li'l green leprechaun face).....

And a happy St. Patrick's Day. Good Patrick was the saint of what, anyway?

Who has fiery Irish blood coursing close to the surface? My great-great-grandparents on my dad's side were from Dublin, I believe. Nothing that recent....I think most Canadian caucasians don't have to go back too far to find an Irish descendent. :)

Dad is, as we speak, being wheeled into the Heart Institute for his angiogram. Perhaps angioplasty will follow, depending on what they find. The waiting game.... :unsure:

Y'know, I was thinking, Nikki....perhaps to better guage how well weight loss is happening, you should simply weigh just your head now and then. I weighed mine twice while away, and I gained about three ounces in a couple of days (true). Now, instead of being disappointed and angry at the weight gain as I normally am, I felt differently....perplexed, yes, but also somewhat pleased, like I had gained weight in my brain due to it working more efficiently...gaining mass as a muscle should.

Anyways, both times I was coasting on absinthe, and this all seemed brilliant and entertaining at the time.....perhaps one had to be there....... <_<:rolleyes::lol:

Count me in as 1/8 Irish . . .

A Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walk into a pub. They each buy a pint of Guiness beer.

Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage three flies landed in each of their pints, and were stuck in the thick head.

The Englishman pushed his beer away from him in disgust.

The Scotsman fished the offending fly out of his beer and continued drinking it as if nothing had happened.

The Irishman too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer and then started yelling, "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!!"

Morning Sillies!!!

At work again! I am still getting attitude from someone here.....I bet you guys can all guess who...Stalker!

I also got attitude in another thread this morning.....

Is it something I am doing?

Sheesh!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
