Ah, sometimes it is a challenge to be a guy here in sillyville. :rolleyes:

Oh, well, I think I will stick around anyway. ;)

I'm sorry Peter....

So My sister said the word Yeti tonight on the phone.

I also have an unexpected visitor tonight. Landen is sleeping at my house, he arrived at 10. So his cousin was supposed to watch him this evening....the same girl who needed the preggy test earilier. Well Jen went to work, John and I went to WEggies. We got home and I noticed Becky's boyfriends car was here, and it was not even after Landen's bedtime. John and I went in to make dinner. A little while later Jen texted me and asked me if I seen Becky at all since she could not get in touch with her by phone or anything. I said no but said look her guy friend is here but I wasnt saying anything. Jen was pretty mad, she had told Beck no boys in the house. So at 10 Jen took a leave from work to come home for a bit since here it was 10 and she still couldnt get in touch with Beck. She was worried about her baby....So Jen arrives to find Becky and this guy drunk, Landen in bed but never even changed so she had been in touch with me on her way home and asked if we had plans, I did say yes since John and I were going out tonight, but when she explained what all was going on. SO Jen brought Landen up here and laid him right in the crib. it was not until she was coming up my stairs did she figure out Landen had a wet diaper on and he had no clothes on. She brought his blanket and binkie but we didnt change him since it would wake him up and that would cause problems. Jen kicked Becky out of the house. Jen came back with Landens diaper bag and she was crying. She was worried she ruined our evening and what would she have done if we werent home....I just told her Landens ok now, not to worry about our plans, we have many nights. Its more important that he is safe. So I calmed Jen down and she went to work....more later Landen hasnt woke up yet, we turned down the AC tonight so he is comfy. I am going to give him a bath in the morning.

I used to work in daycares so I love children the preschool job sounds fun!!!!

Good Morning, Sillies!!

Well, I'm sure Landen had a good night's sleep, all changed and comfy in your crib, Amanda. Jen is SO lucky to have you!

Got a question fer y'all.........does anyone have experience with hot tubs? We are seriously considering the purchase of one, and the main reason would be for our sore, tight, overworked muscles (DH works out as much, if not more, than I). None of the athletic people we know have been in a hot tub enough to say whether or not it really helps. My RMT girlfriend tells me it often works wonders. It makes sense, pounding jets of water working over your muscles. .. . ..I just dunno. Think I'll start a new thread on it.

May do nuttin' fer me muscles, but our social lives may explode........ :rolleyes:

jerseyangel Proficient

Em--We had a hot tub at our former house. We ended up giving it to our son when we moved last year because it was on the deck and here we don't have a deck (we have a back/side porch) and have no plans for one.

I think you and W would find it very helpful for your sore muscles. You can position the jets to take full advantage of them and there's nothin like sitting in the hot, bubbling water when it's cold (or even snowing) out side. I think you'd love it! The kids, too.

Get one big enough for 6, though because you're right about your social life :P ......put in a hot tub, and they will come...... :lol:

As patti would say....True dat!!!

Got me bag ready (swimming cozzy, towel, bottle of bubbly ;) )

UGH!!!...my computer probs ain't over...well not my probs, but me son's pc is being very naughty :angry:

I HATE computers!!!!

It's like a winter's day here - rainy, blowy, barely reaching 60 degrees F ...AND I got a parking fine (phine) today :angry:

Patti said gluten palooza :lol:

Julie!!!....you traitor!!!

Hee!

FACEBOOK! Julie, isn't it great? We've got a Psilly friendship circle started! :);)

YES! All Sillies not there should report to Facebook stat! We could take over with wacklness and mispelled words :lol:

You know I was in a silly mood yesterday and I felt like writing in the "religion" and "political views" section something like....the religion of LOVE, or power to the people political party, but I didn't :lol:

Nothing says party like a hot tub :lol: Sounds like phun!

Kids have a habit of sitting in chairs on their knees, thus they are usually leaning over the table or desk. So if they are told to sit on their (BACK ) pockets, it's nicer than telling them to sit on their butts.

Lisa! I love the sit on your pockets thing, it's very cute. Going to use that with my 3 yr old niece :)

Bunnie Bobbit? Nobody tell my boyfriend...... :ph34r:

:lol:

Ah, sometimes it is a challenge to be a guy here in sillyville. :rolleyes:

Sorry Peter!!! There is an overflow of estrogen in Sillyville, we need some more testosterone to balance it out :lol:

I also have an unexpected visitor tonight. Landen is sleeping at my house,

Omgosh Amanda, I am so glad you and John were home last night to take Landon.

Thanks for this info, Patti..........I only wish you could test-drive one for three or four post-workouts.... . . . :rolleyes:

Got me bag ready (swimming cozzy, towel, bottle of bubbly ;) )

Yes!! Nikki's heading over! Do you currently have any huge, festering blisters on yer feet? I think the bromide in the water and the "gentle jet" setting is phab for such heinosities.

And superb for post-surgery trauma! Uterusless Jess and New-knee Janet, there'll be spots fer you and you can direct the jets where they're needed.....Soooooozie must sit and have the jets firing onto her gimpy back...... . .. Bev! you can blast yer PICC area........Patti - - yer enzymes could be targeted (but I think they're perfect now, correct?).

Okay, what can we fix in my tub for PeOter, Amanda, Lisa, Julie, Judy, Ptaoughmghmn, Ryan....who am I missing??.......Bunnie and Laura........

Mygawd.... ... that's it. I need a fifteen-seater.......... :wacko:

Hi Sillies-

Well Landen did sleep through the night. Jen is making Becky leave for good. Its a good thing, since they do not need that extra stress in their lives either. Landen was a bit confused waking up in a different place but he took it in stride and was happy to see us.

Jen is not going in to work tonight she called off, saying the whole Becky drama has made her stomach upset and she just feels she needs a night to herself. I cannot agree more. Becky has caused a lot of drama this summer and Jen was stuck in the middle since it is her relative.

John and I had taken a few weeks to ourselves and didnt watch Landen as much since August 1st, we would pick up an evening here and there. We will go back on a full schedule now though and since he is sleeping so much better since he is in a crib in our house that totally works.

So Landen will return tomorrow evening and once again next weekend. Jen will start moving on Oct. 1st. My mom is going to keep Landen overnight while we help Jen move. So between us looking to move, her actually moving the next few months are busy busy busy!

GAH!! A fifty quid ticket??? What did yer do.. . ... ... . ..park in Queen Elizabeth's spot??.......or in a city pool, er sumfin'?? :blink:

You'd think so such is the ferocity of the phine :lol: .....but NO, I caused no obstruction - I merey parked outside my local petrol garage to nip in the shop attached (Buy 1 pack of chicken breasts get 1 free!)

Dearest chicken breasts I've eaten in a while :lol:

HI all

Had so many 'quotes' highlighted wouldn't let me post :ph34r:

so......... I'll just say HI with the dreams of a warm hot tub in a sunny warm place ;) sum up my thoughts. Em I've always wanted one of these too

Amanda, forget my email you caught me up here.

It's pouring buckets here in PA at 2:28. Had to go out to get some food as we didn't do it this week and were out of most everything.

Batten down the hatches in case Hanna and Ike come to visit you

Em's putting in a pool fer us!!!! :P How phun....I'll be up!! :lol:

Sorry bout the ticket, Nik :angry: Jeesh......loved Em's line about parking in the Queen's spot :lol:

Sorry about your trip Laura, but it is rather crappy around here. You made a good choice. You'll just have to make the next trip EXTRA special.

I have a yard full of debre to drag to the street. Annie took some pictures of home and the beach and I try to post them when she gets back from the beach with her camera... (translation, I will have her post the pictures and I'll watch her do it.). It's really interesting how impressive "just" a tropical storm can be.

We are having wind and heavy rain here. Its pretty gloomy. I took a nap this morning for 2 hrs....I never do that but it was the perfect day for it and it was so relaxing, the rain was pounding the window and you know I am getting sleepy just thinking about it :P

sunny and mid seventies here :D:rolleyes:

(aw c'mon, how often do I get to say that from Seattle?)

Mygawd! We're gettin' some Hanna up here, as well..... . . rainin' BUCKETS.

It's not raining men. This is fortunate, as men can cause extensive roof and structural damage, and house insurance does not cover property destruction from projectile homo sapiens......

:lol::rolleyes:

      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.
