Evening sillies

much updating this evening...where to start where to start

Well the computer war at work was won today. We got the new computers, and they have widescreen monitors.....boy did we make out, we got the cadilac of computers lol

My mom has a new christmas angel in her home this evening. He is 1yr old and blonde hair blue eyes, named Christopher. According to my mom he resembles Landen with just a bit less hair. I did get a phone picture from my sis tonight, he looks like a doll. So now he and Brooklyn will spend Christmas @ moms. very fun with lil ones at this time.

We are getting some nasty weather tomorrow.....ice ice and more ice! I am dreading every bit of it.

Saturday we are heading to NYC, John and I and my coworker and her hubby. We are going to spend the day and do Central Park, see the big Christmas Tree, do the Statue of Liberty and hoepfully Chinatown, plus we want to see the 9/11 memorial.

My coworker was discharged from the hospital on Friday and had to go home with a drain tube, she was scheduled to have it out Monday. Monday came and she had it out. Today she came in for a CT Scan and then we heard them say they were putting the drain back in. Next I know, my coworker said they still found infection and she was being readmitted.She had the surgery 2 weeks ago today....and has had nothing but problems since....scary!

I think we are going to skip the decorating at our house this year, with the move so soon after Christmas, it seems like a big hassle. We migh string a few inside lights but I am not even sure about getting a tree.

Well now it is time to finish up laundry.

It feels like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders, I did the decorating, got my cards off, and finished my present shopping. Just have to wrap them and plan the Christmas Eve/Christmas Day menus, but I am way ahead of the game this year......for once (usually I am way behind)....and it's a great feeling.

How is everybody else today?

I....um....bought myself a new sweater.... :ph34r:

I've got "Blinds Chalet Sale" for me ad . . . are they selling blinds or a chalet??

I'm currently reading People of the Book. I hear ya on The Lovely Bones.

MORNING FESTIVE PSILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAHHH!!!!...my microwave has died :( ....what will I DO???????

What does it mean???

More cleaning on the agenda (hall windows,blinds...hang twinkly lights @ window) but t'is only a tiny window...won't take long

Also waiting in for the electrician/builders....am having an extractor fan put in the bathroom.......definitely NO ballcocks...but maybe a large tool???? :unsure:

OH!! My ads at the bottom say...

Wood venetian blinds and

SWAROVSKI xmas tree......mmmm, sounds interesting! <going back to see what it looks like!!>

sillies - am positively vomitous - not from beverages - - from VAST quantities of birthday/premenstrual junk food binges (nearly a whole bag of barbecue chips AND half a bag of nuggets)

I'm curious....when you say a whole bag...how much is IN the bag??? I would easily get through a bag of crisps and MUCH more :P

Our 'standard' bags hold 25g.

Hair got fixed today - fairly glorious now but - it's back to brown, pretty much :blink: I kind of love it but.......quite a harrowing and expensive procedure to get here :angry:

HOORAY!!! ...but yes, t'was a trauma getting there!!!.....do NOT EVER go back there!!! :angry:

What's yer new read, Janet? Just finished The Lovely Bones. I managed to stick with it.... . a trememndous read, but one of the toughest I've faced. Not for the faint of heart - -particularly agonizing, at first, for those with young daughters.. . . ...

What's everybody reading?

I liked 'Lovely Bones' but a tear jerker!!! (I LIKE a book to move me to tears :blink: )

I am currently reading 'The forgotten Garden' by Kate Morton ........must confess, not alot of time to read lately

I....um....bought myself a new sweater.... :ph34r:

Well done Jess!!!! A good warm jumper is a necessity :lol:

UM, Janet???.....I think the last post for international mail was last week :unsure:

Psssssshhhhhhhhaaaaauuuuuggghhhhhh . . . 25 measly grams . . . the bag of crisps I just brought home has 336 grams . . . that's our standard size. You have the "single serving" size to go in a lunch box. They do make a "family size" which is considerably bigger than the 336g . . . Suezzee, was it a family size bag of crisps?

UM, Janet???.....I think the last post for international mail was last week :unsure:

What???!!!?? How long does it take to row fly a plane across the pond??

Nik's microwave has died. . . . .and I know why.

It is the 11th.

:rolleyes:

OMG. . . . ...It was more than tear-jerking for me....it was agonizing at times. The writing so beautiful - - lyrical and poignant, yet descriptions of things so horrific. .. ..I struggled a great deal. Interesting that everyone to whom I have spoken who has reacted to the book in such an extremely emotional way has at least one young daughter.

Boy, I find myself now looking long and beseechingly at Sophie. . .. ..worrying, wondering. . .. .It will pass, I know....(gad, I HOPE). . . .. . . :huh:

Enufffffff pseriousness!!!!!

My favoUrite would have to be the Kettle chips with weird flavoUrs like 'Red cheese and onion' OR the vegetable ones 'Golden parsnip' for example :P .....turns out it were EVEN more calories than the normal crisps :o:lol:

I'm not sure what it has to do with microwaves, but indeed, today is December 11, which is a most significant date indeed for Canadians. Today is the 77th anniversary of what is, in my opinion, the most significant event in Canadian political history. It actually took place in the UK, and affected more than just Canada.

Um. . . . . . where's Patti? :unsure:

No sign today. .. . ...did we hear from her yesterday at all?

PAAAAATTTTIIIIIII!!

I cannot bring forth a calling like Ptaoughmghmn . . .. ..

Ptaoughmghmn, can you call Patti, puleeeze?

Green12 Enthusiast

Where's Patti?

I agree wif Htawmn . . . I would've guess "chuffed" to have a differnt meaning.

It took me a while to figger this out....I thought who in the world is "Htawmn"? Was this a new Silly that I just didn't know about or met yet? Did somebody give a name the llama? Maybe it was code for yeti or the bugler? Or maybe I missed another nickname for Sam Hill??

Then I got it :lol:

Ugh so exhausted today & I've barely done anything. :angry: Feels like if I even TRY to do a few things I'll be too tired to work later. :(

I hate talking about crappy days. :angry:

I suppose the bright side is that current crappy is nowhere near the crappy of the past?????

Poopy Cow Tom!!!!!!! Well good news the current crappy is nowhere near the crappy of the past, hope you got rested and refreshed!

positively vomitous

:vomitface:

Feel quite barphish

menstrually and over-binged vomitociousness

I just highlighted a few of the key points from your post....are you feeling ok there?!?!?!

Well at least your hair is glorious!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you feel better today SOOZE!!!!

Yay Em, glad you stuck with it. I don't know if I could with such tough subject matter. I tell you, a book like Kite Runner just made we weep and weep and weep, but so incredibly rewarding.

I am embarrassed to say I am still reading Love in the Time of Cholerra, well reading is not really accurate, more like staring at it from across the room as it calls out to me "I am half way read, you need to finish me!" At this rate I don't know if I will ever git er dun.

I have several books on tap too, Angels and Demons, Simple Genius, and Atonement.

My mom has a new christmas angel in her home this evening. He is 1yr old and blonde hair blue eyes, named Christopher. According to my mom he resembles Landen with just a bit less hair.

I have a 'cute' to pass on. My boss (MD,PhD) was telling me that his son's (5 or 6) favorite toy was something that changed the color of dyes based on pH. I started laughing and said something like "Your poor kids were doomed form birth". He replied that his daughter (3 1/2) was very much into princesses, although, she did recently say she wanted to be a doctor to princesses...

those kids are in for a lifetime of nerdliness

I also realized it's weird to hear the word "princesses" come out of your bosses mouth :blink:

      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."

      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.

      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 that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. 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.
