Well, finally got some GOOD news today. They tested my immune system a month ago for how much the Lyme is impacting it. A normal person is 2-17%. I came in at a whopping 2%. Hey! I'm almost normal.

Wow! This is Great news, Bevel!! :):)

And my antibiotical break has been extended for at least 2 more weeks!!! After that- you don't wanna know. I'll just concentrate on the good for now :D

Well, duct tape will NOT keep my boobs up. I need a little portable shelf er sumfin'.... . . .bit o' scaffolding... . .

How about wires?.... . .Brackets?.... . .

Here I was traipsing through Sears and Walmart, when I think I should have headed straight fer Home Depot....... <_<:rolleyes:

:lol:

So I was thinking about your dress with the low back challenge.....you just have to duct tape in the front, not all the way around. Yes, hoist them way up and then slap the tape across securely to hold em in place, across and up and down...I think it will work ;) ....you'll need an assistant of course, if DH isn't available maybe Gus could lend a hand

Indeed, sillies seem scarce today. While I'm keeping abreast of the discussion, I don't think I will be able to add any, um, support to a decision regarding a bra. :ph34r:

:lol: Peter!!!!!

Well, you could always have DH lend his support . . . holding them up from behind . . . that aught to get them talkin' . . . where are you going? . . . a church picnic??

Great news Bev - - YaY for YoU!!

Sombody asked . . . not sure who . . . but we are headed to Fripp Island, SC. Spending the night in Ashville along the way. We rent a house (just off the beach) with another family . . . old friends from Cincinnati. This is our seventh year. The first year, my daughter only wanted to play in the dunes (which is forbidden) and didn't like the ocean (too noisy). It's gotten better.

Take care sillies!!

Did I ever tell you guys... I was late for my own wedding? Because- get this- I was in the bathroom taping these circle thingies on my boobs. It may actually have been duct tape.

My wedding planner was my mom's best friend, and she (best friend) kept saying, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Finally my mom took her aside and said, "LOOK... it's not like they're going to start without her!" Bless my mom. :wub:

Morning, all!

Wow.....no one on yet? What's everyone up to this am?

Judy! I wanna see yer pic, too....sounds beautiful!

Julie - - I took your advice, and pushed 'em way up, but wrapping them wasn't gonna work, so I put all of this duct tape just underneath said boobs, acting like a push-up kind of shelf. In fact, I had a look at those stick-on things at Sears yesterday, and it is the same principle.

Well.... . . .no. Made things look.... . .somewhat... . .strange.

This is an interesting problem.

:huh::lol: Well...... . To ME. Like diphthongs and schwas, the fascination may not be shared too extensively. :rolleyes:

I need a structural engineer to help me out, here.

Who would be able to solve this situation?

There are those guys over at Home Depot.......

Peeeeeeeeeee-tur! Oh, Peeeeee-tur!?

This came to me from DH: :lol::lol:

Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns:

(Walter is the male version of Ann Landers)

Dear Walter: I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help.

When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor lady. I am 32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for twelve years.

When I confronted him, he admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago, and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore. Can you please help?

Sincerely,

Distraught in North Carolina

Dear Distraught: A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.

I hope this helps.

Walter

Speaking of this, Patti has sent me the infamous BOOB pic, to see if I can load it as an av. Like you, Patti, it's not happening, and I have it modified to an email size....cannot remember the pixel #, but it should be working......

Gawd, a successful display of this av may warrant me my first warning....after all, it is very sexually alluring....four of the greatest boobs around....... :lol::lol:

Yeah Em--what is UP with those pictures????? I wasn't kidding when I said I couldn't get them to work. It's that Pentax camera :angry: I knew I shoulda brought the Sony, but Matt had a lot of pics on it so I thought this would be simpler to load onto the computer.....maybe it's the higher megapixel?

Ok, I don't get any more technical than that :P

Where in hell IS everyone?? Summer holiday, er, vacation, I guess.

Morning, all!

Wow.....no one on yet? What's everyone up to this am?

TRYING TO POST!!!!!:exasperatedface:

It happened to me again :angry: I was up at 7 this morning, typing away, and when I was done, lost the forum, lost my post! Y'all are really missing my me best witticisms!

I went to the middle school on Tues. to pack up my stuff.....just a deskful.....and by the time I got back had a heinously sore neck and headache. I always wondered if the school was making me sick.......been under construction for over 2 years. I've heard that sometimes drywall compound has gluten in it. I'll be going back on Mon. when school starts to say good bye to everyone and do a *sick building* challenge. <_< I no longer will be at a year-round school, so will be going back to work Aug 8. ( no construction at this school ;) )

Besides being without income.........and now having 3 more weeks to scrape by than expected......this summer has been good to me. I lost 9 more pounds, for a total so far of 20......yes 20 pounds :D I have also gone off my blood pressure meds....( me doc doesn't know it yet :ph34r: , but who needs him?)......last reading it was 108/61!!! Lots more energy and feeling better until the Tues. fiasco.

((((Gasp)))))..... . . . ...Laura was able to re-size someone's BOOBS?? Mygawd......I need her contact information............. . . .. .

Is she the one in charge of the double D's I never got???

I'm sure someone has had their name coined into this situation (perhaps MOI :rolleyes: )....when you come on suddenly, complaining about how you've lost a huge, HILARIOUS post that there is no possible way you can duplicate, so everyone will have to tolerate your second-rate replacement post.....Think henceforth we are now calling it a LISA. :lol:

Lisa!! GREAT news about the weight loss and bp! Good for you! :):)

The very same. Laura, it would seem, has the breast market cornered........ . ..

maybe it's the higher megapixel?

In all likelihood, yes. The forum software can automatically resize any photo to the max avatar size (150 pixels by 133 for landscape), but the maximum file size you can upload is 50Kb. The higher the resolution of the photo, the more bytes it takes. If it is a high resolution one, you would have to shrink it to no more than 50Kb before uploading.

You have my email. If you send it I will massage it for you and send it back. :)

      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.
