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:

Me, too. Though I prefer to eat right handed because I bump elbows if I eat left handed. But I eat just as easily with my left hand as my right.

With some practice, I could write right handed .... I will sign my name, or write something short with my right hand if I'm holding something in my left.

When I was a child, I was totally ambidextrous .... did not know my right from my left for years!

Why do you think I'm called curlyfries?

I assumed you loved curly fries :lol::lol:

Wow, lots of curly haired lefties, I thought we were the minority :lol:

I also just eat and write with my left hand, I do most everything else with my right hand.

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:

:lol::lol: Poor Ez! You've painted this picture so well, Sarah....I can see him so clearly....

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

This guy made the dreaded test pain-free, and speedy as hell.....quite a magic man. He should be given a key to the city, methinks.

And I didn't even pull out the sparkles!

Don't have any in the house, as my kids seem to have outgrown them, and all the crafty things they entail...I do still have some peel-and-stick Ottawa Senators tattoos, and I thought of putting one right where he'd be descending, as we have talked in the past about being loyal fans.

Next year.

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

:o Whoa...black stools....hemmorroids?

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!

I'm a southpaw, as well...always had trouble with can openers.... :angry:

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.

It's true...where is all the quicksand? Where are all the travelling vacuum salesmen?

Hmmmmm.....could there be a relationship there?

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

The Abstinence Contest..... :lol:

Patti, you don't have to leave :lol: It's so strange to have so many naturally curly heads that happen to be left handed in one place, tis a rarity for sure.....and poses Susie's question, "what does it all mean?" :huh:

It's true...where is all the quicksand? Where are all the travelling vacuum salesmen?

Hmmmmm.....could there be a relationship there?

Or the door to door encyclopedia salesmen? In fact, where did all the encyclopedias of the world go??

OMG! a startling epiphany!

the ones who like mathS are the ones who are right-handed w/ the straight hair. All others, if I'm not mistaken, DO NOT like the mathS...........

We have not yet heard from Bev and Tom and Amanda on this.......who else am I missing?

tom Contributor

Righty here. Strongly Right-eyed even :blink:

......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:

:lol:

I remember it well .. ...George's girlfriend wanted to try celibacy. He ended up gettin' back in the game w/ a Portugese waitress.

I can picture Elaine in her long brown winter coat in front of the tire store, clapping black-gloved hands w/ that moronic glee. :lol:

Susie? Tri-tip? Good? Edible?

Why am I so blah again today? Yesterday seemed to be SO on the upswing.

:(

Did I see Patti & Susie say they have curly hair??

Jestgar Rising Star

I'm right handed and left eyed, and consequently dyslexic. Can only go places I've already been :lol:

Ridgewalker Contributor

Curly haired and right handed, here-- strongly-- right armed, right legged, and definitely right eared!

Both of my boys are right handed, but Brian started out as a leftie... he saw all the other five-year-olds writing with their right hands, though, and switched!

:o OMG, you might be on to something (like Rachel :lol: )

But wait, Emily is a lefty but has straight hair, right? AND she likes the math.....then there is Patti, curly headed and right handed, lots of mixed variables here and very unscientific :lol:

MORONIC GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: that pleased me......

yes, curly hair here. and I LOATHE it - - just want long, silky tresses....... :angry:

Tri tip was VERY good! So easy - put it on the grill, flip it once, and go get it when you remember it. :lol: Weezee had NEVER EVER been so interested in being outside at night - - I've never barbecued while living in this house (three years) and she was out of her dingo-addled mind........kept revisiting the area of the exquisite smell.......in and out and in and out, long after the meat was in the fridge, the look on her face a mix of joy, pleasure, loss and pain all at once. :lol:

Pthghaoeughaaaaaaaaaghmn - - <------- *snigger* :lol:

These bad days........ :( so heinous......I've had several in a row lately and feel sooooooooooo tired, so dull, so flat and worthless.........I don't know what's up (save for today) but I do clearly know I'm not being as careful w/ food as in the past. Taking more risks all the time.......not good.

:lol:

:unsure: but wait - doesn't Em hate the mathS? She simply tricked us w/ her diabetic/blood sugar equations, is all. :lol:

but what about our founder, Richard? Is he left-handed and curly-haired? I must pm him with this urgent query.............

jerseyangel Proficient
Did I see Patti & Susie say they have curly hair??

Yes....mine has been "relaxed" for the past couple of years but I'm seriously thinking of stopping that and wearing it natural again. Too much wear and tear on the ol' mane B) Of course, this plan will entail a substantial haircut......what to do???? :huh:

I'm right handed and left eyed, and consequently dyslexic. Can only go places I've already been :lol:

      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.

      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.

      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.
