Well sills, gotta go get my haircut - new, very cute and small salon so close to my house.......thought I'd give it a try.

Got tired of me overgrown locks a while back and took a pair o' scissors to it. Been in a state of limbo tryin to decide what I want done. Curly locks are gone.....need a new perm. How curly?.....How short?........can nae decide. Gotta do sumphim to perk up this old drawn phace.

And, I have very sad news...

I am so sorry to have to announce that...

as of 5 minutes ago I officially have...

GREY HAIR :o:(<_<:angry:

Tel update:

Still steadfastly refusing to go to the hosp <_< , but swelling has down a tad.

Maybe it has more to do with his arthritis ?? :unsure: ...... he has had to come off all arthritis meds for a month as docs think it maybe is causing low platelets - GAAAWD - he can't even take ibuprofen for the sweeling (stomach ish-yooz :rolleyes: )

Anyhoo - I've given him a deadline of Monday

If he still can't use it by then I will kidnap him & take him to the hosp :lol:

Nik.........if he heard it snap........it's broke, plain and simple. Several years ago I stepped wrong goin down the stairs and heard my foot *snap*. Didn't hurt all that much, but I knew sumphin wasn't right. I broke it but good. Almost had to have pins put in.

Seriously, Nik, make him go to the doctor anyway. That sort of thing can hurt for years after it heals, if it doesn't set properly.

I hear voices like the plant in the little house of horrors...."FEEEEEEED MEEEEEE!"

hee! I can so picture this :lol:

Oooohhhh...........sounds like some big tools, there :P

Love a big tool ;)

Yep, I heard the pop when my toe broke . . . I can now predict the weather wif me toe!!

Ditto. Ran into a chair wif me baby toe and broke it good. I could feel it when it was going to rain for over a year <_<

Tired. Puffy. Bloated. Irritated <_<

My grey hair isn't like just one strand here or there. It seems to be infiltrating my entire left temple and just fading to a blackish-silver :o

Do you know what happens to blondes when they go grey? Their hair looks dirty...all the time.

I have also found some white hairs in me brows and on me chin :angry:

Mimmsy is not pleased <_<

I got my dad's eyebrows, look something like this Open Original Shared Link .

They go grey by growing in brown, then switching to grey, so I've got a grey streak through my brown brow, and a thick brown hair sticking up on top.

Absolutely lovely. <_<

At least we're all getting older together ;)

BTW female pattern baldness is genetic in my family, so I have that to look forward to.

Me youngest sister who's only 45 is thinning out quite a bit already--middle sis has thick hair, and I'm somewhere in the middle although I have roughly half the volume I had at 20. If I can keep what I got, I'll be happy. :rolleyes:

I've been seeing grey/white/silver hairs since my 20's. My dad was salt and pepper in his twenties, so at least I didn't have to deal with that. My sisters all have beautiful hair....dark with the silver sprinkeled in like sparkels or sumfin, then going to the salt n pepper look. Buttt, my hair is not beautiful and I don't really care. Can't decide what to do with it, so it's growing long by default.

Kurley Leezah....I have been cutting my own for years. When I have gone somewhere to have it done...I inevitably end up coming home and "fixing" it anyway (with scissors). My telehubby loves white hair...always pointing out women who have beautiful white locks......there's hope for me yet!

Day started out sunny....now very dark and gloomy.....the bad part is the cold wind! It's summer, for crying out loud....whats with the *%&@!! KOLD!!! Can't deal with this.....but I need to go outside to play anyway. Will I be the only person in the county, state, country wearing a heavy sweatshirt today? :ph34r: Probably.

Leezah! SOOO glad to see you here. Hope things get better for you...soon. BTW.....telehubby had taken a year of retirement before we moved here. Was home aaalllll the time. We both just did whatever.....didn't worry about what the other was doing. We planned our together time...otherwise our time was our own, to do as we pleased/needed/whatever. Maybe you just need a plan and take control of your own time. It's not that you don't love yer hubby.....you just need your own space (don't we all?)

Keep it shiny.....

Gosh, this quiet here today.

After a miserable, wet, rainy, wet, soggy, wet, day yesterday, today is warm (but not hot) and sunny.

=^..^=

I'm working a rare Sunday at the shop. I think it has been a year since that last happened.

Unless something unexpected happens, City of Toronto civic workers employees will go on strike in less than 11 hours. Those at the liquor store have two more days before they walk out. I stocked up yesterday. ;)

Hi Linnie--allow me to welcome you into sillieville, old and decrepit though I may be :P

Best thing to do is jump right in--don't try to "go back", people have been known to get lost that way :lol: Susie--who you will meet soon--would have to send the Dingos out to find you....and well.....best to avoid that ;)

Enjoy yerselph.....oh--we tend to spell pho-net-ic-ly. No idea why. One more thing--Emily is harmless. :)

Darn it all, I just did a long poop-in and pooped it up. Poopy cow!

Part Drei:

Anyway, part of what I was saying before, I think, :unsure: was that...

Dis place is overflowing with wine (or whine), peaches and nectarines, strawberries and melons (wot, no cherries??) phleazy or non-phleazy kittehs, grey hair, permed hair, butchered hair, red hair and white, greysilver hair, phrizzy hair, hairless heads and hamster brows.

It is full of weather that is too hot, cold, dry, wet, gloomy, windy, thunderous or humid, but nevah just right.

On the other hand, it also contains beauteous posts from Theresa and Patti--good advice from T and yearning from PadT (although I do think I would look a bit ridiculous up a tree reading a book (my recliner suits me better :P ) and it is hard to find some lush lonely grass in which to lie and daydream. Still, it is the spirit of the thing she was referring to after all, because I think we all basically remain children all our lives, certainly not that hag that peers at us out of the mirror :o Can't wait for the weather (sigh, here we go again) to warm up so I can take my book and chair down to the beach.

Tel's wrist may or may not be broken (hope we hear soon). I once was sure I had broken my ankle it snapped so loudly when I was running like a free spirit (trying to follow PadT's advice :lol: ) down a hill., (yeah, this was a few years ago :o ). But I plunged it in a stream running straight off a glacier until just before frostbite, wrapped an ace bandage on it, and a week later we walked the Milford Track. Of course I sprained it again real good when we were over the summit and coming down the other side, and it's never been the same since, but then again it wasn't much good before that. Haha.

Can't remember what else I said; problly wasn't worth reading anyways. Hope this feeble attempt makes up for the too-quick poop-in the other day. Still looking for me psilly--where can it be??? :unsure:

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

Padt, would you stop telling people Em is harmless? You're gonna damage her reputation.....

:D :D :D

I'm off to bed (yes, at 7:30pm), le boyfriend gets up at 2am on Mondays. I get an extra hour of sleep, ZERO griping here!!!! G'mite.

Don't you believe it. If you don't watch out she sneaks up behind and bites you :o Haha, I can say that because she's on vacation and can't reach me (yet) :lol:

Oh yeah! Chugging her wine before the liquor worker employee strike.

sounds like a good plan, even without the strike.

Some day I'll day you my story of spending the night with German lesbians while stuck in Bologna during an Italian train strike.

True dat! Tis the weekend, so it's quieter than usual. Poop in during the week ;)

OMG--what a great rundown of the sillieville musings of late! :D I now read in a chair too, Shroomie--many things that worked at 10 don't seem to work now :lol: Hope yer sillie reappears :)

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

And that's just the sort of thing we admire here :P

Mite, Bunnie. -_-

I'm not sure where she is at the moment, but she was heading for the Toronto Islands. You can only get there by boat, and the ferry is going on strike in 3 hours along with the rest of the city staff. There are private water taxis.

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
