Nik, you're right..... . . I do NOT want to impart any hilariously clever discourse until I know it will be here to stay. So I remain quite dull and matter-of-fact until we are CERTAIN that all is permanently restored. . . . ......

I will just ask this question, as it has been haunting me for DAYS:

Why do we press harder on remote control buttons when we know the battery is dead?

:huh::huh:

:rolleyes:

The same reason we press the elevator button over and over in an attempt to make it appear faster :lol:

:lol::lol:

We also move closer to the TV but still keep trying to use the remote!!!

We also pick up lil bits that don't get sucked up in the vacuum, inspect them to determine why the vacuum wouldn't suck them up, then place them on the carpet again to let the vacuum have another chance!! . . . :huh: . . . :lol:

:angry:

My stupid robot thingy has gone blind and refuses to run for fear he'll run off a cliff.

Spent two days taking apart and putting it together and accomplished nothing!

I found a site where you can order replacement parts so I'll order a new bumper that has the eyes in it and see if I can fix the problem that way. It's possible that the problem is in the mother board, but I'm not savvy enough to know how to figure this out with accidentally shorting out the whole thing and causing a fire in the middle of my living room.

Although, I guess burning up the hardwood floor would solve my dust bunnie problem in a different way...

Why do we do these things? :lol:

I actually think that pressing and repressing and repressing the elevator button does make it come faster...... . ...kinda.

If you push it once, you have that idle time of waiting for the elevator to arrive. We all know that sitting around doing nothing makes time move at it's slowest.

However, by repeatedly pounding on that button, your mind may be focused on the hand-eye coordination necessary to do said task, thereby being distracted from the relatively slow pace of the elevator, making it seem faster.

So relative to your observed time (since time is relative after all), hitting the button multiple times will, indeed, make the elevator "faster."

Okay, there.....I've answered my own question. But I don't really know what in hell I'm talking about.

:huh::lol:

No no no . . . it really should be a seeing-eye-dog . . . one that sheds quite a bit. Then, as it leads around the robot vacuum, the robot will automatically pick up the trail of dog hair . . . That there's whatcha call a symbiotic relationship!!!

....and it can't hurt to mutter "hurry up, damn it" whilst pounding ;) Every little bit helps.

Bummer Jess, is there a Roomba troubleshooting/q & a thingy on the internet? Maybe they could help pinpoint yer problem with it and talk you through how it fix it, or what part to get exactly.

Does anyone know how I can get the phorum to remember my sign in info....or how I get it saved to my computer so I don't have to type in my email address and password everytime I sign in? For some reason it no longer has it saved :huh:

It opted to work perfectly until 1 WEEK after the warranty expired.

Since it is a robot, there are multitudes of robot/computer geek sites dedicated to the little critters. I'd prefer to skip the welding of diodes onto the mother board method of repair and just buy a whole new bumper.

I will look into the seeing eye bot, though :P

hmm, or training the kitties....

Pretty avatar, Patti.....and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating Thanksgiving this week :D

All this talk about remotes, and elevator buttons, and etc reminded me of this email I got recently. It was warning against using the electronic door lock/unlock on your keychain (if you have such an upgrade).

Apparently, thiefs (always seeming to be one step ahead of the game) have figured out how to steal the unlock code across frequencies. They will park nearby with a special kind of device and sit and watch and wait for someone to get out of their cars, walk away and click on their keychain lock button. When the button is clicked they are able to pick up the code and they are able to unlock the car and help themselves to whatever might be inside.

In my case, this would be jackets, shoes, boots and other clothing shed by my children. Also some stale pretzels and empty water bottles. Lots of old spelling tests and last year's project on pioneers. Halloween candy wrappers. Lunch boxes . . . I dare them to find something useful to steal . . . well, there is about 2 bucks in change.

Yes! Put that Lefty to work! Although I'm not sure how he'd be as a seeing-eye cat with just one eye himself....he would likely be leading the poor bloke in circles... . . . . :lol:

Whoa. If this is true, they could likely do the same thing with your garage door opener, and gain access to your house! :o

Just as an OT post, my brother noticed that Lefty has compensated for his lack of depth perception by bobbing his head slightly up and down as he walks. Kinda like a long haired pigeon.

      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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      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."

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
