TRI-TIP? DID SOMEONE SAY TRI-TIP?????????? MMmmmmmmmmmmmm......tri-tip! No one here knows what it is!!!!!! Except the phine pholks at trader Joe's. Where's the licking-my-lips emoticon?

Aw Emily--Elsie is beautiful! :D She looks so at home...it really sounds like she was meant to be with you guys.

She is indeed gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: So glad she's YOURS!!!!!!!

:lol:

Should have jammed a big stick in that wine bottle.....one mega-dreamsicle.....

Elsie does indeed look like a baby deer. All legs, in every direction. :rolleyes::lol:

She does! When my in-laws get their sheep dog groomed (when she was younger) she would leap around the backyard like a baby lamb....I called her Leaping lamb Chops. Her name is Gracie and she is a bull in a china shop.....I just call her Graceless!!!!!!!!!!!

Susie- I gotta say- that AV is WAY TOO CUTE!!!

Oh....all is so GOOD in Sillyville! Julie's gotten onto her treadmill, Patti and Jess are responding positively to their Ednas, Susie's got some chips, Ptaoughmn's haircut no longer finds him hiding under the dining room table.....all good.

It would be PERFECT if King Peter can tell us that he finished all of his parking lot line-painting...

:D

Ahhh...King Peter's reign! Is this Camelot? Are we the Goobers of the Round table?

The census by species:

Humans: 2

Cats: 6

Fish (Betta): 1

And, yes, you can be sure that Tuppence is watching. B)

:lol: :lol: We have been outnumbered:

Humans: 2

Animals: 3 (2 cats and 1 puppy!)

Susie, love your new av! But just wait until I get mine up.....THEN we'll see who really is the cutest B) ( unfortunately, I have to wait til my DD can show me how---I'm not too computer literate :blink:

Oooh...can't wait! more cuteness!

pap smear.

Why is this still a tortuous, archaic task with medieval instruments? Do you have the answer, King Oracle Peter? Do you even want to think about it? <_<

OBVIOUSLY a medieval torture form somehow incorporated into modern medicine by a man!!!!!! Emily- Did you use sparkles? :P

sillies....................I am a mess.............

:( :(

the barbecue chips???? well - - I didn't even read the label and ate half the bag......some INSANE craving took over and a pure recklessness I can't even explain.

So - I did sleep pretty well but awoke in a complete fog/haze/coma and am gradually jackknifing in pain. So today - I read the ingredients on the bag of chips - - and it has BARLEY MALT FLOUR..............

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is there a bigger eejit than I?????????????????

:blink:

Kissey's coming for lunch at noon and boy, is he gonna see what happens....... :huh:

<stupid stupid stupid STUPID!!!!!!!!!>

tom Contributor
Don't worry, Tom. ANYtime you make a comment like that, I always imagine it in a Homer Simpson voice! :rolleyes::lol:

Hehe good but Homer's open-mouth drool sound signifies a magnitude of foodlust far exceeding the "mmmmmmmmm".

Tri-tip deserves THAT!

Canadian Bacon mmmmmmmmmm

(Sorry but it's no tri-tip)

Good luck Emily :D Ugh--definitely no fun though.....close your eyes and pretend you are at the ski lodge sipping wine by the fire--mind over matter :lol:

ABSINTHE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally the truth comes out:

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

:lol:

. . . "you liked all those things that Janet cooked, I thought you might want to learn how to do it, too." :D:D

:lol: :lol:

Emily- Did you use sparkles? :P

Evening my sillies!!!!!

:( SUSIE!!!!!! :( (crap!..why must they put barley MALT in the most innocuous foods??? :angry: )

I am a little sad as the phine weather is fading :(

I had to put a jacket on this morning....and frankly my feet are cold in flip-flops.

Rain expected by Thursday, temps back down to 58F

.....must move....PRONTO (before Thurs)

Elsie had one accident sometime last night - - peed right by Gus's bed (significant?), so I'll keep an eye on her. May have to monitor/ration her water somewhat at first.....

Aw...you've got to expect a few accidents

Elsie is BEAUTIMOUS!!!!!!!.....I want to cuddle and hug her!!! (but then Gus would get jealous! :rolleyes: )

.....she's going to look EVEN better once she fills out a bit :D

Never heard of Tri-tip! Want some.....

How do you guys feel about Canadian (or peameal) Bacon? Mmmmmmmmmm...... :wub:

Yes....Tri-tip????...sounds good :P

CANADIAN BACON???????

Truly instruments of torture....especially when they turn the screw thing :o

We only have them every 5 yrs here and NEVER have medicals :blink:

I like to chat about bizarre things. One time the doc told me all about how to clean a dog's anal glands (swear to god). That's the only part of the day I remember.

:lol: Em may need to brush up those skills with 2 canine butts!!!

One time (after I had assumed the position) my doc said "Now let your knees fall naturally apart". And my response was "On this day, they don't do that!!"

I mean!!.....how CAN you?!?! <_<

I had my yearly physical yesterday morning, and the doctor and I were discussing this as we prepared for the male-specific unpleasant event: digital rectal prostate examination.

She said that she thought it (the rectal probe) was not as bad as a pap smear. I think this is one of those great questions in life that will never be properly answered. I mean, it's not like we can find a panel of subjects who have had both experiences. :unsure:

Well, well, it's good to know that there are humiliating tests out there for the chaps as well :lol:

and thank you my silly friends......I am NOT expecting any sympathy as it was just completely stoopid...... :ph34r: I gave a cursory thought to reading ingredients BUT NO................ so - - I'm going to take Janet's advice - - -

Wow, what a superb pap smear!! As paps go, it was among the top five for me. I'm sure you've been all waiting with bated breath for a report:

My Doc is relatively new to me, but not to the businesss...I'd say he's sixty, anyway. As I allowed my legs to fall naturally apart (man, I've been doin' this so long, it happens quite easily now) my fine doc told a bad joke about an old Scotish gynecologist....quite unfunny, as I don't really even remember it all. Man, was he expecting me to burst out laughing at such a time? Or even chortle? <_<

So, I asked him which footwear he would choose - - metal cleats or the cups. I swear, the metal contraption that is screwed open, the collection of cells, all done in less than ten seconds. He didn`t even have time to answer my question! I was so impressed, as I have quite a retroverted uterus....difficult to access.

I wonder if that would have made an effective pick-up line back in the day? 'Hey....I`ve got one of the most retroverted uteruses (uteri?) around, big boy'.....

Perhaps I could put it on my resume...... :huh::lol:

I had my yearly physical yesterday morning, and the doctor and I were discussing this as we prepared for the male-specific unpleasant event: digital rectal prostate examination.

Absolutely NO contest - - I would take the digital any day, any time. It`s a finger - -not a piece of cold steel that snaps open to about eight inches across...and there`s no (((shudder)))) scraping......

Well gang--I just finished painting my stool :lol: We have a cute old one that I painted gloss black....I plan to put it on the front porch with a plant on it.

Mygawd.....I must have missed you talking about this before, Patti - - I thought you were referring to another kind of stool, the kind that seems to be discussed here with more regularity than a step stool.... :lol:

I thought, `painted her stool? Why on earth? Do we really care what coloUr it is, and if it doesn`t go with stuff?`

The kids are playing outside. Lucas just came in a few minutes ago, and said something that sounded rather odd, but I'm beginning to expect such escapades where his brother is concerned...

Lucas: Mom? I need the scissors.

Me: Uh, no. Why?

Lucas: Because Ezra's hair is stuck in the birdseed feeder wire thing.

Me: :huh:

So I went outside, and sure enough-- Ezra is standing under the tree, pitiful look on his face, head stuck to the bird feeder. :rolleyes:

I did manage to get him unstuck without the aid of scissors, though. B)

Was perusing the list and chortling to self in a very simple-minded, cretin-esque way, and Elaine on Seinfeld popped to mind.......do y'all remember the episode when George abstained from sex and became smarter, Elaine participated and got increasingly dumber..........so - -she's standing in front of this - what in hell was it? - rotating helix-type shape - maybe in front of a tire store er sumfin'? and it's going round and round......and she's standing in front of it, her head going round and round, mimicking the motion of the thing-y, with a huge, dopey grin on her face.......and she's laughing like a simpleton and clapping her hands with glee................... :lol:

so that's what I was doing.

:blink:

Em, congrats on yer pap and your convoluted cervix. I have the same. :ph34r: (v. painful paps as quite hard to access :o )

Patti - gloss-black stool to go w/ yer chairs. :lol: Yes, since WHEN have we been painting our stools? :lol:

Every year more than 2500 left handed people are killed from using right handed products. ( :o I'm a lefty!)

Yep.....that'll be me! I have a totally dyslexic brain when it comes to right handed gadgets :wacko: I didn't figure out until I was 18 why my shoes never stayed tied :blink: I was tying them 1/2 left handed and 1/2 right handed! :lol:

The oldest known goldfish lived to 41 years of age. Its name was Fred.

<_< Actually, I'll bet the fish died looooong before that, but the parents of the child that owned him didn't have the heart to tell her, so they replaced Fred with another goldfish, and another, and another...... :lol::lol::lol:

Nikki, very interesting facts here.......I am a lefty too! We are the curly haired lefty twins !!

I had a thought about the quicksand one, you know you don't hear so much about quicksand anymore. It used to be in a movie or two, and several tv shows...oh, it's the dreaded quicksand, however will they get out....... but no, not so much anymore.

Wow, what a superb pap smear!! As paps go, it was among the top five for me.

As I allowed my legs to fall naturally apart (man, I've been doin' this so long, it happens quite easily now)

:lol::lol:

Glad it was a five star pap for you Emily!

I have to weigh in on the pap thing, I think I would rather go with a pap than the rectal exam.

Lucas: Mom? I need the scissors.

Me: Uh, no. Why?

Lucas: Because Ezra's hair is stuck in the birdseed feeder wire thing.

Me: :huh:

I did manage to get him unstuck without the aid of scissors, though. B)

:lol: Sarah

Glad you were able to get your son untangled from the birdfeeder.

so that's what I was doing.

I wish I remembered this episode. I used to watch Seinfeld all the time, but I have so little recall of it...don't know what that is all about :huh: I can remember so many other things from other shows, but not Seinfeld :o

I do remember a few classic things like the Puffy Shirt, or the Man Bra, the Soup Nazi......

OMG. Also left-handed here..........w/ curly hair (well - more frizzy now than curly :angry: )

what does it mean?????

ok but wait - - I only eat and write left-handed. Everything else is strong right - tennis, batting, etc. etc. and kick w/ right foot.......

:wacko:

Darn210 Enthusiast

Did anyone else put together that this fact

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. ( :o I'm a lefty!)

May be the direct result of this fact?????

Every year more than 2500 left handed people are killed from using right handed products. ( :o I'm a lefty!)

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor. 
    • knitty kitty
      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit. 
    • Scott Adams
      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."  
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
