I think the Hobbit and LOTR are all one book, really, because it's all the same story, it's not even a series, it's just one big beautiful story. I think he just broke it up cuz you can't fit that many pages in one binding.

So, what? I have to come up with three more books now :blink:

I'll have to think on it.

Hey, I have a question to pose to you all, since I know so many are readers....if you could make a list of your top 5 must read books what would they be (and why, totally optional)?????

I like to read a lot, but just for amusement.......nothing profound or life-changing.

I've read some of the ones from Oprah's book club, but.....yawn <_<

However, there was one book that I thoroughly enjoyed and have read several times.....

Nobody Nowhere, by Donna Williams, It's an autobiography of an autistic woman.

Maybe it's just because I have worked with autisitc kids and it gave me a lot of insight into how their minds work.

Five???......sorry, no can do.

OMG

:blink:

Weezee has knocked over the HUGE trash can outside a second time. I don't know how she does it, but now she's an expert, and there is no other place to put it.

she's eaten ALL the beans.

:ph34r::o:unsure:

also some leftover shredded cheese, and I don't even KNOW what else. Her little dingo head smells like garbage, am going to wash her face now.

I now have to put the lawnmower in front of the can, but I am sure she can still figure out a way to knock it over.

Am now considering having to drill bolts into the STUCKO wall and chain the can to it.

SHEESH. <_<

Yeah, I need another 70-pound dog like I need a hole in me 'ead. :lol:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Julie, have you read Cold Mountain? it's one of my favorite American novels, a great love story (the movie was just so-so) but......you either love it or hate it.......

I know you're reading Love in the Time of Cholera, that is a favorite.

I LOVED The Glass Castle......true story and couldn't put it down.

LOVED Angela's Ashes........should be required reading in American high schools, I think........

gotta go wash a dingo head now.

:huh:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

*snort*

so......I'm watching a movie and reading and stuff........and Weez walks over and sits next to me and just lets out a huge, pathetic whine......it's not the nasal, whistling whine.....but the harrumph-ing, moaning, really pitiful and dramatic/emergency kind that she uses for very important situations....(usually signifies boredom from having missed a day of orchard walking but - we had a HUGE walk today)

and I know exactly what it means......she has a miserable tummy-ache. :huh:

dear gawd! could be a long night.......

:blink:

:lol: :lol:

she's SUCH a WEASEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite American novel is Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. I've read it many times. An unbelievable work. Julie, if you've never read it, it is truly rewarding!

she DOES NEED to call upon her Higher Power, that is FO' SHO!!!!!!!!!! she is miserable and still whining......gads.

Em - I read Grapes of Wrath a few years ago..........I am living in the very same Valley where most of the Dust Bowl Oakies settled, in fact. Such a poignant novel but.......the ending..........OMG......and the sucking on the teat........it ruined the whole book for me. :huh::lol:

but I did LOVE East of Eden, as lived in Monterey also, and that took place in the Salinas Valley, right near Monterey.......

my dad was a HUGE Steinbeck fan, and I have all of his first edition books...... (ponder selling them all of the time :ph34r: )

I bungee cord mine shut to keep out the raccoons.

Um.......okay.........am going to have to post an av of me trash can.........no bungee-ing possible, methinks....... it's not those metal kind - it's a giant plastic thing......was pondering duct tape but - Weezee with her little raccoon hands and devil teef can surely undo this......

<scratching head>

Perhaps Sooozie needs to bungee up the Weez.. . . ...... ..

:lol: :lol: :lol:

yes, am going to BUNGEE THE WEEZ.........

Am watching Jimmy Kimmel's pre Emmy special and he had Michael Phelps on as his first guest. He said the info about his diet going around out there is WRONG :huh: . He doesn't eat that much at all he said, not 12,000 calories, not even 8,000- 10,000, but he did say he eats whenever he wants and whatever.

I still would love to have that luxury.....I can just think about food and put on a pound :huh::lol:

Thanks for all the book suggestions, I added them to my list. I don't remember a thing I read in high school (all those required readings that everyone should read like The Odyssey :unsure: ) which bums me out (and long story, I think maybe undiagnosed learning disabilities, or maybe undiagnosed celiac brain fog :huh: )..... so I want to go back and read all of those top books like To Kill A Mockingbird, Grapes of Wrath, etc.

Susie, I actually loved the movie Cold Mountain (one of my favorites) so I'll add that book to my list.

Is anyone going to read the new Oprah book club selection, she just announced it Friday... The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, it's supposedly about a dog, or surrounding a dog?!

elye Community Regular
She is miserable and still whining......gads.

....... . And shaking? It's withdrawal...... . . . . :lol:

........I am living in the very same Valley where most of the Dust Bowl Oakies settled, in fact. Such a poignant novel but.......the ending..........OMG......and the sucking on the teat........it ruined the whole book for me.

Gah! Great ending! So richly stark, pathetic and symbolic of the raw hope that glimmers quietly.... ... .... :)

I WANNA LIVE THERE! Or at least visit....East of Eden was terrific, as was Cannery Row. .... . ... . .I wanna see these places! Must work on this.. . ......... . .

...... it's not those metal kind - it's a giant plastic thing......was pondering duct tape but - Weezee with her little raccoon hands and devil teef can surely undo this......

Oh, Lord. .. . ya don't wanna be doing that. Stepford will be trotting over with her paint can.. . ....

Jules, I am a little worried about this book......I STILL have not recovered from Old Yeller in third grade (now THAT book should be REMOVED from children's reading lists :unsure: ). Have to find out if there's anything sad w/ this dog........so you read it first, okay? :lol:

Many trips outside this morning for Weez.....I'm afeared to look at her poop..... :unsure:

      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.

      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.
