There has been so much sadness and anger here of late.

Our nephew sent us a couple of phunnies that I want to share. :)

Missing Husband

Rick was in trouble -- He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry. She told him, 'Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 6 seconds AND IT HAD BETTER BE THERE!!' The next morning, Rick got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused and curious, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new....BATHROOM SCALE. Rick has been missing since Friday.

Please pray for him. :lol:

And, he also sent us:

THIS IS QUITE REMARKABLE, PLEASE DON'T CHEAT!

In the middle of the table is a round food tray with five kinds of Fruits on it. They are:

A. Apple

B. Banana

C. Strawberry

D. Peach

E. Orange

Which fruit will you choose? Please think VERY carefully and don't rush into it. This is great, I was astounded! Your choice reveals a lot about you!

Test results: Please SCROLL DOWN

If you have chosen:

A. Apple: That means you are a person who loves to eat apples

B. Banana: That means you are a person who loves to eat bananas

C. Strawberry: That means you are a person who loves to eat strawberries

D. Peach: That means you are a person who loves to eat peaches

E. Orange: That means you are a person who loves to eat oranges

:D

Sarah, if you're reading, I'm thinking about you constantly.

Sorry 'bout the kitty, Amanda . . . how old is Lucky?

Lucky just turned 3. He is such a loyal kitty....I am getting teared up thinking of him. I am in "the home office" currently....yes and typing on the computer. I do it all the time, this is how I disconnected from the Tv's phones and the hubby for a bit. I am fully clothed though ;)

Landen is here tonight, boy was he clingy tonight. Didn't want to sit in the cart at Wegmans, he wanted me to hold him, didn't want me walking out of the room...anyway he is sleeping in his new crib. We got one of the cribs from my mom's and now he has his own crib in our spare bedroom...or as we refer to it now, Landen's room.

Jen, Landens mom put an offer on a townhouse today. So I am hoping she makes out well there.

Hi Alex!!! I missed you :)

Hi all other sillies...I cannot wait to meet Allen, he sounds so much fun. I told him if I come tomorrow we could put the Little Tikes 8 in 1 playground together so he would have some slides to go on. Since mom didnt have any kids yet this year old enough and Silvia is too small, our climbers have been put away....time to break em out!

Speaking of youth-in-asia, the other day the Olympics announcer says "the Chinese women" while the tv shows those teensy barely-teen gymnasts!!! :facemakingsnortofdisbelief:

16 is the minimum age now but one seems to be 13 & another 15 - according to, until very recently, China's own official athletics websites!!! :blink:

Those Chinese gymnast look very young , It's hard to believe all but maybe one are over 16.

Sorry about Lucky Amanda :(

That's wonderful news about your parent's new foster child, he sounds like a real cutie!

Hi Alex!! I hope you are well :)

Great Sillies Peter! I totally fell for the fruit one too. I was really torn between the peach and the banana, but I guess it doesn't matter anyway :lol:

Judy dear, yep I have those books on my Good Reads, just go to my books page and check them out. The series in order is Little Altars Everywhere, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, and Ya-Yas In Bloom, all by Rebecca Wells.

I just finished Little Altars tonight. Gotta go to the library and get me Divine Secrets this weekend!

Sillies, I am sad swimming will be over soon :( Lots of track and field coming up I guess.....and what else?

I have to say I really like the winter games better than the summer. I enjoy watching the Skiing, but I love the luge and the bobsled events.

You know tonight I noticed a sign of summer ending.....the sun has been going down sooner....My house was darker when Landen was heading to bed tonight, usually I have to close all shades when I am putting him down. Plus the last few nights have been chillier!

Thank you SOOOO much for that email update, Sarah. You are amazing to be thinking about keeping us posted when you are going through all this! But it's true, we all worry and wonder constantly about you, and wait for each update.

Our Hugs and prayers continue! :wub:

Hi Everyone

Was at the vet this morning with Lucky, we have to await bloodwork results. I wont be around today. I am going to see my new little bro, Allen. He talks to me on the phone and sounds adorable :)

So I am leaving soon and will check if later tonight if I come back home this evening.

Have a good day sillies!

So mods, how did this whole 'Scott reminding us to be polite' thing come about?

I'm assuming that neither he, nor you all constantly monitor all the threads, so does that mean someone had to actually waste their day looking for posts that they could call offensive just so they could run to dad and say "he's being mean to me!!"?

Are there really people who have lost site of the fact that this is a computer, and not real life? I just can't believe that's the case.

ALEX- It was so good to "see" you- COME BACK- we miss you! I'll take you to the Cape ;)

Pieter- I am constantly looking for Rick :lol: :lol: :lol:

I can't believe how revealing that test was - I NEVER knew I was a person who liked strawberries :lol:

Hi Judy... I'm completely and utterly exhausted... just wanted to skim through here... but I did just send an email update, hopefully everybody got it. My brain's not functioning well....

It's just nice to see you- we love you.. :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

OK- in regards to the sadness and anger here, I have a few quotes for you (feeling feisty today):

"Be kind, everyone you meet knows you're better looking" (somebody)

"I've been there; I hope you have to go there too" (Patti)

"Families are a bond you share that is , unfortunately, unbreakable"(Amanda)

Sometimes I need what only you can provide: your absence.

- Ashleigh Brilliant

The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech.

- George Bernard Shaw

If you ever become a mother, can I have one of the puppies?

- Charles Pierce

A modest little person, with much to be modest about.

- Winston Churchill

He is a self-made man and worships his creator.

- Irvin S. Cobb

THIS ONE IS FOR ME:

He loves nature in spite of what it did to him.

- Forrest Tucker :lol: :lol:

I am not a mod any longer, but yes, I believe it may have been the case. Although I appreciate Scott's reminder to be nice, I think it should have been spread to some others on the board as well. I told him that.

But, let us remain phunny- I can't take anymore drama that is not "Real". We have enough with all the REAL LIFE stuff going on with the members of this thread. :D

Curious.

It's my opinion that if you offend someone who's opinion you value, you seek that person out and make amends. If you feel that the impetus was only to add unpleasantness to the world, then ignore it. Why should you concern yourself with someone who only values unhappiness?

And I have one more quote to add

"Maybe her purpose in life is to make you look good." (Jane)

And I have to add, that everytime my post leads to a new page, I feel a little pang of regret that it didn't make me royalty :(:lol: :lol: :lol::P

Dang . . . I'm tired. Told the kids to sleep in today. They have to get up at 7:00 on school days (oh, by the way, school started last week). So this morning they slept in . . . until 7:07. I don't think they get it . . . and normally they seem like such bright kids. :P

Jess . . . when is your surgery?? Is it Monday?? How long do you have to stay in the hospital?

Also just wanted to check . . .who here (besides me) hasn't been a monarch?

Jess, I believe you were Queen at around the 400-page flipover, er thereabouts.

Just like a graduating year or degree letters, from now on those of us who have held monarch position should designate such as part of their signature - - everywhere. On your Visa slips, on cheques, letters to the school.....This sort of thing needs to be recognised.

I hate this......but at least my kids are a little older and usually sleep past 7:30, anyways....

Jack gets home from camp tonight!!! He emailed me a couple of photos this past week, playing volleyball and flipping over in a kayak..........ah, to be young again....... :)

Jess! your surgery is Monday morning, is it not? Are you the type that must ceremoniously say farewell to her uterus? Write a letter to it, have some final verses read?

I do believe my aunt did something like this............someone I do not see that much.......

:huh:<_<

:lol: :lol: :lol:

At this point I'm wishing I had sent her on her way much much sooner. I'm more inclined to opt for 'I have my life back' party. When I don't have to plan all my daily tasks around how many tampons fit into my purse, and how close I'll have to be to a bathroom. Probably similar to all you gastro-gluten people....

I think Bev does hers Wednesday. Honey, I'll do a couple extra shots of pain-killer in your honor Wednesday morning :D

      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.
