It's been a long time since I could laugh like that. It hasn't been very psillie in my house for a few weeks. We've been having HUGE problems with our son.

Detention does not even work. Nothing works. We're to the point where he is no more than a boarder in our home. We are almost positive he will move out on his 16th B-Day. At which point he is the provinces problem. We have detached ourselves as much as possible.

I feel bad because I was the one who used to try and give him the benefit of the doubt and trust him. This past weekend, he not only lost that trust, he blew it up. I will have a hard time EVER believing a word that comes out his his mouth.

At the same time, since he's moved in (spent the last year at my MIL's) things have been chaos. my wife and I are fighting more, and our poor daughter, she oblivious to the whole thing thank God..

Sorry for venting, but I'm at a loss here :unsure::blink::wacko::huh:

Ryan, I hear you loud and clear!!!!!!

GADS, got a pretty similar thing going on meself.......living with my youngest son is like living with a ticking bomb.....you never know when it's gonna blow....but one thing's for sure ...it always does :unsure:

My morning was off to a flying start with said devil child REFUSING to go to school unit (HE'S not at a school, they won't have him :rolleyes: )...SCREAMING at me and slamming out the house

I SOOoo tried NOT to raise to the bait....but I snapped <_<

OH JOY

...and yes!! my son would LAUGH at detention..get up and walk out probably :unsure:

Ryan, I think you're right in saying you have to step back/close your mind to it to a degree.... :unsure:<_< ...as it affects ALL the family.

Methinks there is gravel (er sumfin' else) in her gullet, stuck there. <_<

What???..like geese or summat??? :unsure:

And Bevvy is SO RIGHT.........I need to be in a patchouli-wearing mojito-drinking Big Sur commune wif dogs and trash cans and ground-cover (native plants)

Me & cats come too???

Mygaawd - I have been distinctly unsilly...must snap out of it!!!!!!!!

OH!!!...talking of CHA-CHING Vetinary bills wee Boris is going in tomorrow to be :unsure: DE - furry peanuted :o:lol:

Morning, Sillies!

Wee Boris de-peanutted... . . .....poor chap! <_<:rolleyes:

Yes, Jess. . . . you must arrange another surgery of some sort - - something more serious, that requires months, not weeks, of convalescence. Installation of an artificial joint? Brain surgery? Must work on this, I say. . . . . ...... . :huh::rolleyes:

Soooozie's trash can is OUTSIDE THE FENCE!! :blink::unsure:

Dear gawd.. . . ....you've told her, and there has not as yet been a reaction. .. . it's delayed, I fear. Methinks you're gonna have to Bungee the Stepford - - visible trash paraphrenalia is, I am certain, an unendurable torture for this one.. ...

OK, How in H*** would they know that????

Do they put people in a room with monitors in their ears and have people in scary masks jump out at them?

Or maybe they just show them what their taxes are gonna be next month.

Or in Susie's case it would just be Stepford looking at her thoughtfully, with purpose...

:lol::lol: Bev!! What in hell?? What does it explain about you?? Do you produce a great deal of earwax, and are also phrequently phrightened? I actually do produce a fair amount meself. . . . . but I do not believe that I spend much time in phear. . . . . .... :huh:

Hmmm. . . . . must ponder this. . . . . .. ..

But wait . .....The bigger question, of course, is WHY IN HELL does FEAR cause an explosion in earwax production??

I think it's like sweat, but in your ears.

Do you have more earwax after you run?

Ask Jack to devise a method to measure this for you.

Why would anyone study this?? Who wrote the grant requesting the $$ for the research?? Are the national earwax stores depleted and Jess is the scientists are looking for new ways to restore them??

Sorry to hear about yer son, Ryan . . . and your devil child, too, Nikki . . . this is why I'm not going to let my children grow up . . . that and the fact that the older they get, the older I get.

Why, and HOW?? How do they know it's five times the amount? It's not twice, nor quadruple. .. .. . but five times the amount. What do they use for measurement? WHO do they use??

WHY DOES MY EARWAX INCREASE WHEN I'M SCARED??

... .... . Perhaps to plug up my ears as a primal defense, in case the fright is due to a long stick about to be shoved in my ear. . . . . . .. or maybe to keep me from hearing very frightening news. . . . . . :blink::lol:

Just wanted to post before I get too busy to be on line . . . Friday morning I will leave for my annual girl's trip to Hilton Head. I shall be gone from Friday to Tuesday. I shall drink overpriced pina coladas for all of you.

. . . and here's a question . . . Why is it that when my husband goes on a golf trip with the guys, he packs his bag and leaves?? When I go on a trip, I have to stock the fridge with more than twice as much food as they will eat . . . so that he can readily find something to serve them. All the laundry has to be done. A detailed schedule for each child and the dog must be written out . . . It's sooooo much work to take a few days off.

"People with wet wax have more body odour, as they tend to sweat more. It is therefore reasonable to assume that people with dry earwax are sexually more attractive or have more sex appeal on account of reduced sweat and body odour. "

You know, I have more ear wax in me left ear than me right. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?????? Right ear seems completely dry, but occasionally I can feel sumfin' in my left. Of course, I attack them with the ill-advised Qtip every morning (and as we know EVERY doctor always says to NEVER stick anything smaller than yer elbow in yer ear - - Shyeah, right :lol: )

Thanks to Jack for yet another phascinating phact!!!!

I stick the ol' q-tip in the ear too :ph34r: I know that is a big NO-NO, but sometimes me ears itch deep down in there........and it does clean some of the wax out :lol:

Not sure Susie what having more wax in one ear over the other means :unsure: maybe you are tilting your head too much to one side?? :lol:

Hi Ryan, sorry about the troubles you are having with your son :( BUT very glad you had a few laughs here in Sillyville!

Wee Boris gets the snip snip tomorrow, or cut cut, or whatever they do :ph34r: YIKES!

Good morning, Sillies!

I was out wif me hot tubbing gals last evening, not tubbing. .. ...just a 40th birthday celebration for one of us. My girlfirend cooked roast beef, and as we were leaving someone asked her what spices she'd used on it, as it was truly incredible. She then mentioned that she had dabbed some Lea and Perrins on the meat before cooking it :o:unsure: . (Worchestershire sauce, in Canada, has malt in it). Sooooooooo . ....... . . ..she apologised all over the place when I told her that the sauce has gluten in it (but that I should be fine.........right....), saying she takes real pride in being careful with gluten-free cooking. Bah.

Well, this morning I'm crampy and poopy. :angry:

But it was worth it.. . . . . .a great night. We solved all the problems of the world. :)

You know, women should absolutely be running this planet. ;)B)

      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.
