Susie!....How can this be?? I am truly flummoxed by this....I laugh heartily all the way through, and marvel at what I hear as clever, multi-layered timing and humour.

And sometimes Seinfeldian - like in Cell Phone, when it turns out Lacey's 'Save the Silo' campaign backfires in that the new cell tower was to go there. :)

On a related note - I saw part of the Monk pilot the other day & . ... ..Hank was in it!!!!!!

Of course, wearing a hat, but it was a newsboy cap or whatever, backwards.

He was killed :ph34r: and a car accident faked but it didn't fool Adrian. ;)

Wow, I leave for a few hours for a home cooked birthday meal and some DVD watching and I'm behind 4 pages. You were all in Phine Phunny Phorm this evening! We watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding and The Princess Bride-- two perennial favourite feel good movies. I must remember to pay Ryan back by watching some Batman movies on his birthday! ;)

Everything sounds great, Alex! Your guys are taking such good care of you :)

Can I just say how happy I am to see you so happy and doing so well! :D:D

I know, I'm so blessed with my family and my Ryan. Don't know what I'd do without them!

And thank-you! I'm so much better in mind, body, and spirit than I was on my last birthday and exponentially better than I was 18 or so months ago. Sometimes I forget how sick I was and how fortunate I was to have been diagnosed so quickly. I try to remember to be grateful, grateful, grateful!

I knew I'd find Alex here. I've come to wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Wish you great wishes to come true, sweet girl! ;)

Thanks for stopping by for my birthday Lisa! :D

Oops, forget to say thanks for the confetti Tom, it was beautiful!

Susie!....How can this be?? I am truly flummoxed by this....I laugh heartily all the way through, and marvel at what I hear as clever, multi-layered timing and humour. I would have been absolutely CERTAIN that you would get a kick out of it.....

You must keep watching it.....it is SOOOOO PHUNNNNEEE!!!

My dad loves Corner Gas! I bought him one of the seasons on DVD for Christmas. I usually watch it but I'm kind of just meh about it. It does make me laugh quite consistently but I don't think that I have the appreciation like you guys and my dad have for the show.

And all of this talk about reading and book clubs, I must admit that I hardly ever read. It is bad and sad and I feel that I should be ashamed about it. It was good in high school when I had to read certain books for English class because I ended up loving a couple of the books -- The Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird. But I am not good at picking books for myself. I am always afraid I won't like the book. And there are just too many books to choose from -- I walk into Chapters and I get overwhelmed and just scurry to the CDs and DVDs! Does anyone have a good book recommendation for me? :unsure:

Remember House of Sand and Fog? I threw it in the trash.......have never hated a book more... :lol: (I trade many books at used book store)

Susie, what did you hate about it? Was it just bad?

I watched the movie when it first came out (great actors, critical acclaim, yada, yada, yada...) and WHOARGH, it completely traumatized me, ya'll. I cried through most of the movie, and then pretty much cried all night. :blink:

Well, today's the day of Mom's dr appt. She gets her stitches out from the biopsy, and we should get the results. I've been looking at pictures of different types of skin cancer on the net this morning, and haven't seen anything that looks like what Mom has. But I also looked at pics of actinic keratosis, which is supposedly what the original biopsy showed two years ago, and it also looks nothing like any of those pictures.

ALL the pictures I looked at either looked like 1) a rash of varying colors; or 2) a gross oozing, crusty growth. Mom's thing is just a slightly raised discolored (pinkish) area, that looks a little dry.

In other words, I'm utterly confused, and this is exactly why I have NOT let myself search internet pictures before, up till now. Will update later.

Did you go to Tesco, Nikki? I was quite impressed with this chain when we were shopping in London....except that there wasn't a jar of peanut butter to be found there... ..and there were several inebriated customers stumbling along the aisles, trying to read labels and count out change at the cash. It was indeed fascinating......well, for us goofy tourists, anyways..... <_<:rolleyes:

I had one that looked exactly like that on my hand. I couldn't find a similar pic either, so I waited---thought maybe it was eczema. Finally went to the doc......he thought it looked pre-cancerous. Did a biopsy.....it was basal cell carcinoma-----that's not as serious as a lot of other skin cancers. When he did the biopsy he took off the whole thing, so nothing more needed to be done. It's been fine. A couple years later I found a similar one on my shoulder.......it was negative. Either way, I'm sure your mom will be fine.

Boy Nikki, this thing has realy taken you down :(

As a girl who is quite fond of food and eating, I know it's bad when it gets to the point where everything sounds yucky to eat, just the thought of eating gets a big "Ughhhh!"

I hope the tin of soup settles well with you :)

Sarah you and your mom are definitely in my thoughts!

Patti, you are a painting fool :lol: Always painting, or working on something around the house.....a freind of HGTV's dream!!!!!!

I love HGTV :wub: You didn't happen to see House Hunters last night, did you? The couple who bought a house trailer on a boat slip in Florida for $520k :o Half a million...I couldn't believe it.

I digress... :lol: It's a nice, conservative tan-ish/khakki color with white trim. Very clean and neat :)

I love HGTV too, I watch it phrequently :lol: , but no, I was actually watching Top Chef reunion last night on Bravo so I missed House Hunters.

I think you will like the tan-ish kahki with white trim. All my walls here and ceiling are painted a very creamy mocha color, think coffee with cream, kind of a camel if you will, with crisp white trim. Everything just pops against it in a room. Art work and pictures on the wall look stunning.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      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."

      Body dysmorphia experience

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...

      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/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
