It's so funny bra fittings is the subject on the table (Peter, Ryan, and Tom must be having a god time :lol: ), I have been thinking about getting one myself........they say we all are wearing incorrect sizes :huh:

Thanks everyone for your well wishes :wub: When I get angioedema in my throat and mouth and such it's an anaphylactic type allergic reaction, if that helps you not have to google :lol:

Sarah, how are the pod children today?!?!

The English Project is looking for examples of 'Kitchen table lingo' ......(words you make up and use frequently)

Some examples:

Clackers - testicles

Bobbicles - breasts

Cauliflower heads - elderly ladies

Having a McS*** - entering a fast food restaurant with no intention of buying food - just using the loo

McS*** with lies - telling staff you'll buy food afterwards

...and finally

Testiculating - waving your arms around and talking b@#$%$#% :lol:

What words could we submit?? :lol:

Nikki, this is hilarious!!!!!!

Sarah!!! Did you not notice the Bobb-icles....why not just BOOB-cicle??

Let's see, Sillyville could contribute all kinds a words, HANUS as Emily mentioned, what about wackl? Edna and Sven of course.......I'm drawing a blank on the others :blink:

Easy- the 'end' result of a glutening.

I was thinking about doing a bra fitting too, wierd coincidence you all were talking about it. Alex is right- I have no shame at this point. Stranger playing with my boobs? Pshaw, no big deal! Try having a camera up your butt! Unfortunately for me, I'm of the small percentage that doesn't get the amnesia effect of those drugs. I remember everything..... I'll take a bra fitting, thanks. The nursing staff found it humorous though.

:lol: JNBunnie, what's a little bra fitting after all that!

None of mine are comfy or grEy. :) It's easier to continually torture hubby when I wear pretty lingerie. :lol: I'm the most spoiled woman on the planet. :D Wear black, lacy uncomfortable undergarmets and get a man who will spend his life trying to make you happy. :PB)

Good strategy Carla!

BTW, I was NOT wearing the wrong size. :lol:

Taking down notes over here...

Sarah, how are the pod children today?!?!

A little better today... I've decided to nix all TV for a while, except Veggie Tales. :rolleyes: I'm no Bible Thumper, (apologize in advance for any offense, again) but Veggie Tales is always about morals and behaving, so... good stuff in my book right now.

Morning Sillies...didn't realize I never posted this morning, I was attempting and then I got sidetracked. So not much going on. Work Work Work like usual, only one more day until I am FL bound. I am soo scared to fly again, it has been 10 yrs....

What time is the Silly Summit? Depending on time depends on me being able to attend or not. Later in the afternoon will work best. Work has got meetings stacked that week since most of us will be away on vacations the next month. This week and next there is a lot of conferences we will be travelings too.

Bye Sillies! Tis lunch and I am Phamised!

I have to agree with JNBunnie and Alez, btw. Having a camera up the butt has to be way worse than a bra fitting.

I am certain that there are very few things worse than this.... <_< Never had the pleasure, but I'm still certain. The hose down the throat was not great, either. Yep, a boob/bra assessment is a walk in the park, and apparently these brassiere consultants (at least, this is how the huge woman at Sears was designated) really do know their stuff - - training and everything... . .How the boob should sit in the cup, which way they should be pointing, how high up one's chest cavity they should perch... . .quite a science, really.... . . :rolleyes::lol:

Got a better strategy: Regularly wear NO undergarments. Going Commando is astonishingly effective in creating a man who constantly thinks, "Whoa. I can imagine what's under those clothes.....what can I do for her next?".... . . :rolleyes::lol:

This approach also eliminates the ripping off of said undergarments (let's face it - - they're just in the way) and the possible stretching/tearing thereof. :lol:

Ah, Veggie Tales!!!

I took care of my niece for about the first 4 years of her life and I had one Veggie Tales movie, Queen Esther. We watched and watched and watched and watched it over and over and over again........I could recite the thing by heart :lol: but it was such a cute story, and you are right all about knowing right from wrong and being good ;)

Hope the messages sink in with the pod children :lol:

every time I see this I think it says pool children and I think gads, not only do we talk about our potty habits, we're now checking in on others'.

:lol: not such a surprise coming from a group that kept charts on other such things of the passing wind variety.

Well would you look at that, a typo that actually has a very different meaning, but makes sense!!!

Hee hee, meant good as I am sure you picked up on, but they are probably saying "God" too!

Yeah, I like Veggie Tales more than I thought I would. Cute stories, good morals, and not overly preachy! Why the characters are talking vegetables though.... I have not been able to figure that one out. :huh: Used to terrify Ezra when he was younger. :lol: He likes them now, though.

I got one of those--and I get to wear comfy undies, too :D Comfy, but still cute :P

I must comment on comparing a bra fitting to an endoscopy or (Gawd) a colonoscopy!! :o The fitting is nothing--a mere walk in the park compared to those.....and as Sarah pointed out, you get to go shopping after (or before, if you want).....we all know what happens before a colonoscopy :o:lol:

tom Contributor
No appt. necessary .... they'll measure you at Victoria's Secret. Shouldn't have said that ... now Tom will be applying for a job there.

yeah I wonder if they'll take me back .. .

It's easier to continually torture hubby when I wear pretty lingerie. :lol: . . ..

Wear black, lacy uncomfortable undergarmets . . .

Are comfort & ...uhhh ....torture-worthiness truly entirely mutually exclusive??

Or do they cost 5x as much to get some comfort w/ the shwing! potential?? :unsure::P

We watched and watched and watched and watched it over and over and over again........

over and over and over again & again & over and over and over again & again &

over and over and over again & again &

over and over and over again & again .. . . .. .

How did the more senior of us sillies ever survive as kids before VCRs???

Hello my dear sweet Psillies!

Just popping in to say hello. I had another 2 rough days with my reaction, it traveled from my throat to my tongue, not fun at all :( ..........don't have much silly-ness in me.

I'm too far behind to go back but I noticed poop and boobs and Howie Mandell have been some of the topics of conversation, typical Sillyville stuff :lol:

Julie- I'm with you- I am a weepy, whiny, depressed psilly (mood swings/panic attcks- lots o fun) :( :(

Thought I'd at least TRY to get my psilly on :D

All this talk of bras- I must share. I have bras that I ABSOLUTELY love. For those of us not, ahem, evenly aligned (I wish both boobs were same size as right boob). I think they are maidenform and they make 1/2 sizes so you can get an AB (as in almost a B) or an AC (no not air conditioner although having one in your bras in the summer might be quite comfy.....

But then guys would, uhm, know when the turkey was done :P :P

Oh...Uncle Ray's got a phunny:

The Lie Detector

John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmick.

His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to change.

One day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases. It was a

robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector.

It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son, returned

home from school. Tommy was over 2 hours late.

"Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?" asked

John.

"Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project," said

Tommy.

The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him

completely out of his chair.

"Son," said John, "this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you

really were after school."

"We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie." said Tommy.

"What did you watch?" asked Marsha.

"The Ten Commandments." answered Tommy.

The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off

his chair once more.

With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, "I am sorry I lied.

We really watched a tape called Sex Queen."

"I am ashamed of you son," said John. "When I was your age, I never lied to

my parents."

The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly

knocked him out of his chair.

Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said, "Boy, did you

ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is

your son!"

With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and knocked her out

of her chair.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Omg! As I was reading, I thought, YES!!! AC in the bra would be heaven! BUT then, I get to the caveat. <_< There is that effect to consider. :rolleyes: Carla? What do you think? Probably overkill, huh??? :P:lol:

Bev! You've got boobs that are half-sizes? Like my 8 1/2 feet....you've got B 1/2 boobs.

...Mine are simply half GONE...... <_<:rolleyes:

yeah I wonder if they'll take me back .. .

:lol:

I've been pondering......

Why are there not Briefs Consultants? Perhaps the vast majority of men are walking about with ill-fitting underwear, and should have access to professional fitting opportunities. Males could be measured, assessed....... . ..

Dunno what kind of market there'd be.......

Guess it would depend on what the consultants look like...... <_<:lol:

You are amazing, Bev! I admire your strength and ability to be so phunnee when so down! :):)

Ah! AC in the bra.....and the consequential..effect....

Men would be right on board.

Not possible for overkill to ever occur in this area of the male existence..... :lol:

Ridgewalker Contributor

Oh... mah... GAH! :lol:

Carla got me to thinkin', and I just sent Brian a few frisky IMs at work... I think he may actually get home at a decent time tonight. :rolleyes: Which means I may actually get some help with dinner and Pod Children wrangling! :D

Ridgewalker Contributor

You are undoubtedly correct in this. :lol:

Bev, I so agree with Em... You are amazing! And don't forget our whinery! You can always come here and be weepy and whiny to us!!!

      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.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/
