I just saw over in the OMG thread that it's Julie's birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, Julie :D I hope you have a great, safe birthday cake with all the trimmings!

I posted over there, too, so you'd be sure to see it :lol:

Thanks! Boy news sure travels fast from Rachelville to Sillyville, we must be neighboring communities :lol:

I didn't end up cooking a thing, or even baking a cake, much too pooped from family being in from out of town this week, but I did have a very nice day. It was gorgeous here, I sat out and lounged in the sun all afternoon (thanks to Edna and Sven I was able to buy a new, smaller size swim suit :D ) and then watched a few movies this evening :)

I'm going to celebrate with family next weekend because everyone was tied up this weekend, so I might attempt my experimental cake then.

And Silly meetings all around! Yay Janet and Lisa, I'm so glad you guys got to meet up, and Jenvan too!

Green12 Enthusiast

Janet!!!!!! Omg, I just noticed your avatar! Almost spit my water out, that is hee-lair-e-ous :lol::lol:

Great avatar of the Silly Summit, what a group of good looking pholks!

Good to put a face with your name Lisa.....Janet what are you talking about, you don't need Edna :rolleyes:

I then said, "I AM LEAVING. You can poop now".

Morning, Sillies!

Nice to be back in me own bed, I must say, with cats crawling all over me and substandard poodle noses snuffliing me through the wee hours.

Heaven!

Super pic, Psimultaneous Psilly Psummiters! :)

You both have gorgeous hair, and Janet, you need Edna like I need more laundry...... . . ;):D

Lisa . . . this is EXACTLY what I was talking about . . . How much of this stuff from Emily is actually true???

(((((Gasp)))))).........

I was referenced at your meeting?? B):lol:

DH comments on this all the time - - how my recounted life's events are likely NOT bought by the majority. There is NO way he would believe these things, he assures me, unless he were around to witness the direct evidence.

He DID see me exit said washroom quickly, with a bemused smile on my face. When I told him about what I had said aloud in there, he was not particularly amused....more concerned and anxious. "You don't go saying stuff like that, phunny (okay, he didn't say phunny....he said funny) as it may be, in a huge, don't-mess-with-me-city like New York".......

Ah, to be niave, and silly!!! :lol::lol::rolleyes:

At least I didn't walk around this behemoth city with my huge urine container in tow.

......Or did I?...........

:lol:

Jestgar Rising Star

These pictures are so great! It's nice that people can meet up now and again.

Jules! Happy Birthday!!

Em, I so want to believe that you told that woman to poop.

I feel a bit better after lying around all day yesterday. I haven't done that since the good ol' gluten days. Today is my me methotrexate reaction day, so I'm not expecting to get much done today, either.

I'm hoping to at least manage to get my me new crock pot washed and throw something in it to cook. Didn't realize you're supposed to fill it at least half full. Guess I'll be making a lot of whatever. :blink:

Julie HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Further Psilly summits of which I knew NOTHING ?!?! (Janet, Lisa, Jenvan = sneaky) :D

Emily regailing tails of trying to get herself killed :o in a New York toilet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o:lol:

"Rescue husband" heeheehee

And how much of THIS holds true for a rescue husband?? :lol::P

He has settled in...eating loads (he was a rescue kitty..and was very skinny :( ) but doesn't like to be stroked <_< ....he backs off if you try to touch him........so we try to ignore him as much as possible until he's comfortable with us.

I wake up in the morning though and he's next to me on the bed :D - I think he likes the body heat

Well now that you mention it I did 'rescue' Terry :lol: (I dunno if he'd agree ;) ) ....and he was pretty skinny when I met him (stupid celiac disease :rolleyes: )

BUT oddly enough he doesn't back off when touched :huh::lol:

He is next to me when I wake up though :rolleyes::lol:

'Rescued Tel' is busy painting Al's room.......Al is away for the weekend and we have to finish the painting while he's not here as it makes him throw up !! :o :greenguy:

Tel then has to fit a 'cat-flap' to the back door as I'm fed up with bloomin' cats meowing

I must do some ironing <_<

GADS!!!!>>>>Life is one big chore !!!!!!!!! :lol:

Hey, where's BEV???

Sleeping???, Svenning, entertaining Swedes OR playing a 'Hurdy Gurdy' ???? :unsure:

Gawd Jess.....not such a magical weekend fer you :( Those phibroids are nasty buggers--I was plagued by them for years. Now the drug reaction on top of it all--you poor thing. Definately take care of yourself and get lots of rest on yer clean swing....

I have a large oval (6 quart, maybe?) c®ock pot and usually don't end up filling it halfway. It just cooks quicker with less in it, I've found.

What? Jess has a clean swing? The languishing men are no longer draped over the outdoor furniture? I'm struggling to remember - - were they not Swedes? ....Did they serenade her while strumming hurdy gurdies? :huh::lol:

Jess, I'm sorry about the blasted phibroids. They can be hell....... :(:angry:

Nikki! STOP this thing called ironing! Wear yer clothes in their natural, washed state - - wrinkled and charming. :)

There were fun moments yesterday. Since I was outside I left the door open so the cats could come out. Every now and then Lefty would jump up on the swing, put his paws around my neck and drool in my ear. Actually both ears, he likes to make sure he's given the full value of his hug.

And last night I was giving Lyle some catnip from my big container of 'nip. He likes to eat it right out of the jar so I was sitting on the floor holding it for him. Suddenly he sticks his paw in and scoops out half the contents onto a pile on the floor which he then plops into. I tried to scoop up most of it but every time I put my hand there he'd pounce on me (cutely, he's a nice cat). So Lyle is covered in dried green leaves (he rolls on it too) which he brings with him to bed (maybe that's why I slept so well, a little inhaled 'nip) and my bedroom carpet has little leaves all over it. I just noticed that Max is walking around covered in little green leaves, and undoubtedly Lefty is having a mellow day as well.

Maybe if I just wait long enough everything'll be snuffled up and I won't have to vacuum. Or p'raps I should try rolling in it. Maybe the cats know something we don't...

jerseyangel Proficient

Ya know Jess, considering how you're feeling and all--maybe a roll in the stuff isn't such a bad idea! :P

Couldn't hurt :D

So it's Patti wiv 'er boobs out then??? :huh:

...and OMG!! Patti's got a little 'R' fing for her Crockpot?????.......WHERE IS MINE????? :unsure:

Em, took yer advice and have done no mining ironing - creases IT IS!!!!!! :o

Jess, YES!! You MUST roll in catnip and discover it's secrets!!

My cats seem totally nonplussed by it :blink:

Meanwhile the two older cats eye the 'catflap' suspiciously like this -----> :huh:

In fact, I'm sure I heard Lucy (who is a little ahem rotund) say to Will:

''If they think I'm squeezing myself through that they are deluded!! - I shall continue meowing to enter''

Decided instead of the ironing to have a clear out and EBAY it - I am still sorting the pics but it's mainly eldest son's tatt

(don't tell him I'm selling his clothes that he bought ;):lol: )

Wow! Queen Nik's cat's are curiously formal in their manner of speech. Is it their royal parentage? Or the mere britishness of their lives that elicit this behaviour?

elye Community Regular

Mygawd, watching my cats upon the introduction of catnip is wondrous........

It is their absinthe.........no question.....

:lol:

And what is this of which you speak, Nik - - Patti's crock pot R thing? :huh::huh:

A rack?

Rodent Setting?

Well, apparently EmaLee, you need more laundry . . . notice my a$$ hips aren't in the photo and it is not taken from the side . . . I'm quite thick . . . take that however you want to. :lol:

Yeah, yeah whatever, with a big fat "W"! I'm not buying it Janet, it's all in yer head!

Patti has magic powers!

You have no idea........Once you meet Patti, you truly begin to see and feel the power she quietly wields. It is awesome to behold. She held everyone at Starbucks powerless in her grip...... . . . :huh::lol:

Remember the two-page change-up coup 300 pages ago?.......I believe we all know who silently orchestrated that forum magic.......

:lol:

EMILY!!

Patti has a large oval one

She does not! I met her........and she doesn't have an oval one......!!.. . . ..A bit circular, perhaps... ..ovoid, maybe.... . . .

What in hell am I talking about?. .. .. ..... :lol::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."

      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.
