Morning, Amanda et al!!

yes, I agree...this week has crept along......

I bumped into this article on North America's earliest humans, pre-dating Clovis by 1000 yrs. Open Original Shared Link

This cracked me up:

"To make sure the Oregon cave material hadn't been contaminated with modern DNA, the researchers tested more than 50 people who worked at the site. The DNA testing indicated that the feces belonged to Native Americans in two groups that can be traced to Siberia and East Asia."

"Awright!!! Which archeologist crapped in the cave?? Earl?? AGAIN???"

I read this article in our paper this morning... :lol::lol:

'T'would indeed be interesting to meet the individuals who would knowingly (or not knowingly) compromise these findings by pooping within their work site. Mygawd....that would be like me pooping in the Embassy boardrooms.... :o:lol:

Busted. :ph34r: I actually DO sing in public, randomly, just outbursts here and there. Ask Kissey.

Susie....it is actually fortunate that we are not great friends within close geographic distance of one another, for I do this as well. Imagine the two of us, bursting into song together whilst out doing errands? :lol::lol:

......AND!!....can you believe we all got Patti'd?!?!?!?

....I am SHOCKED at the sheer subterfuge...(you gotta watch that Patti )

:lol::lol:

Our new verb...To Patti..... :lol:

Yes, I agree...must watch our Patti....still waters can run awfully deep..... ;):lol:

Hey Jess, little favor to ask . .. .short article and I can't tell if it might again be total bs.

Seems to claim leaky-gut can CAUSE depression. I can see correlation but for causality I'd have to know what all those words MEAN!!

I don't know where Scott finds these people to write articles. In the first paragraph the guy misleads you. I didn't read the whole original article, just the abstract, but in it the authors clearly state "It is suggested that the increased LPS translocation may mount an immune response and thus IRS activation in some patients with MDD and may induce specific "sickness behaviour" symptoms."

so IF you already have major depression, a leaky gut may lead to an inflammatory response (I would bet that it does) and could make you feel worse.

I know I'm lot less happy when I feel sick. I don't know why that wouldn't be true for everyone.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: As always, the poop jokes have me in hysterics!!!

Now that sounds like my kind of alarm clock....30 MIN SNOOZE!!!....perfect!!

Every alarm clock I have ever owned has had a 9 min snooze <_< .....why 9 mins???

Actually, my alarm clock is 9 minutes, too. I just hit it about 3 times. ;) I have pondered the 9-minute question as well, and have decided it's because it takes an average of 1 minute for that heinous alarm sound to invade a person's sleep. So, combine the 1 minute, plus 9 minutes of snoozing, and there's about 10 minutes between alarms. That's my theory. :P

Welp, it's rainy and chilly here (again) so what am I watching? HAD to pop in The Goonies DVD.

YAY, Amanda and I are MySpace Friends!! Who else has a page?? :lol:

Hi Sillies--

Quick poop in right now....am baking and preparing food for the party. I'm trying to keep calm--have to do laundry and pack. Gawd.

Amanda--it's dreary here, too.

Tom--crapping in the cave...Earl... :lol:

Jess--thanks, I was interested in that leaky gut article, too. :)

Too funny yesterday :lol: Be back later :)

Have a good weekend, I hear the weather will improve for Saturday and Sunday. :)

Ah, but would poop pics strike you the same way, Sarah? I turned the page of our paper just now and saw the remainder of the article on this prehistoric find, and there is a colour pic of the poop. Looks just like modern poop. Some things never change, I guess... :rolleyes:

Hmmm. Yes, why nine minutes? Perhaps it's metric time, er sumfin'...... <_<:rolleyes:

https://www.celiac.com/articles/21547/1/The...tion/Page1.html

I had to look up "sickness behavior"

People are studying the interaction of inflammatory cytokines and neural-controlled behaviors. (yes, they're studying why you get grumpy when your sick.)

There's a great review written by some guy who made continual use of his "thesaurus of big words" that says:

"Last but not the least, the activation of this system is certainly responsible for the increased prevalence of mood disorders that is observed in patients suffering from chronic inflammatory disorders including autoimmune diseases, coronary heart disease, and asthma"

So other people have found a statistical connection between chronic illness and increased prevalence of mood disorders. What does this mean? Nothing concrete. It could mean the the genes involved in mood disorders tend to be the same ones involved in chronic illness. It could mean that chronic illness can induce mood disorders in people that have genetic predisposition to mood disorders. It could mean that being sick all the time makes you feel really crappy. It probably does mean that in people that have a mood disorder, having a chronic inflammatory disease could make their mood disorder worse/more difficult to cope with.

I'm more likely to go with this last statement. All of us that had some neuro- mood type effects with gluten, had them go away/diminish with the removal of gluten. But it's also true that some people have no neuro- mood reactions to gluten, so it can't be the only part of the equation.

. .. and you know.....he really should write a small summary on the first page of this thread - -saying - - "just jump to page 200 to see what it's REALLY about" ha ha :lol: wackl

We'd have to not only go back in time, but also retype our last 18 pages!! I sha'nt be a party to this!

I am in total agreement with our past King, here....mainly because I went back and checked on all of the new top-of-the-pagers. I STILL have no coronation to claim! :rolleyes:<_<:lol:

I've been feeling somewhat....odd today, and a little last night. Like I'm in a kind of nether-world, where everything is running a little out of real-time whack.....a strange, stationary jetlag, if you will. Then, the lightbulb went off. It's the two lost posts!! It's made my life timeline go off the rails....Cannot remember what day it is...feels much later in the day than it is....don't quite know who this man is that I'm living with....must PM Scott and inform him of how his minor administrative moves remain quite far-reaching.... :lol:

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
