Municipal (civic) elections were held today in Ontario. The weather in Toronto was expected to be rainy, but after a dank early morning the sun came out.

Polls closed an hour and a half ago, and it seems that voter turnout in Toronto was higher than expected.

A sea shift will take place at Silly Hall, as fiscal conservatives throw the socialists out. The incumbent mayor did not run, having ruined his chances with the 2009 garbage strike. His antithesis, who campaigned to "stop the gravy train at city hall," has won by a good margin. It will be a very different city over the next four years. :)

OMG. . .. attempting to help Jack with his grade nine math.. . .. ....dear gawwwwwwwwd. .. . ...... .....polynomials.. . . . . ...

I can probably handle the polynomials . . . I can probably get you through most if not all of high school math. Sorry Jess, only had a smidgen of stats (although I did think it looked interesting) and can nae help you. I do love made up statistics as Smackl does it ALL the time . . . I think he thinks he sounds like an expert when he says stuff like "About 72% of dogs dream about rabbits" . . . and who am I to contradict him?

Liar; Damned Liar; Expert Witness.

Lie; Damned Lie; Statistic.

Statistical analysis is much more than reporting that a hitter batted .240. The maths are very complex, and although I grew up with not one, but two parents who were professionals in the field, I still don't grasp confidence intervals. I wonder at times whether "standard deviation" is an oxymoron. :blink:

I'm afraid the opposite will be true, here. :unsure: Our fiesty, fiscally conservative, give-the-unions-hell businessman mayor was solidly defeated by a liberal, a career politician who was the right-hand man to Dalton McGuinty as a provincial minister. :angry:

Dear gawd.. .. .......my braaaaaaiiin.. . ........

A confidence interval is something I do not experience enough in my life. Is this not an episode where I can suddenly walk into my boss's office and demand more money, or step onto the scales and look brazenly down at the numbers, no peeking out from my fingers? And standard deviation. . .. . ....well, likely plenty o' THAT happening in me life... . . . . .... . <_<

The confidence interval is the time between when the relatives start showing up for thanksgiving dinner, and when you discover that you forgot to turn the oven on that morning.

HI all

It's been weeks since I've been on but have been reading along at times.

Jess, hear good things are happening to you last page i read

Wish our elections were over here. Nothing on TV but the adds bashing each other.

MIL, comments above just crack me up.......'well according to her your going to Hell anyway, what have you got to lose"

what I want to know is ................were is the sun in sunny CA.cool.gifph34r.gif Haven't seen it for weeks. Just the marine layer hovering over head.

Things are good here and still settling in. Jim and I went to Anza Borrego Desert for a couple of days and it was so great to get away. Jim took a photography class and nite astronomy session. While he was filling his brain with knowledge, I was laying by the pool :) We left the desert at 95 degrees and sunny and got home 1 1/2 hrs later to gloom and 62 degrees and drizzle. It's amazing how the weather changes here. I'm still in augh of our new area.

Not much else to report but still read along.tongue.gif

I'd probably burst out laughin... Yup that woman has got a sense of humor... I can handle that... But I am guessin yer MIL would be somethin along the lines of "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WAS RIGHT GET THAT DEVILISH WOMAN OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!! COVER THE KIDS EARS!!!!!!!!!!"

Have ye ever tried singin "Blow Gabriel Blow" from Anything Goes in here presence? I think maybe the reaction would be priceless...

(Love Anything Goes btw)

Once upon a time, my hubby and I were a duke and duchess. We were invited to a ball by the king himself. After bein introduced we spoke a few mins with the king. Then we danced the night away. Until, that is, the prince and his wife appeared. And apparently I got in a fight with the princess. Soon our wigs flew off and started fightin each other. And then all the mens canes came attacking me....

(This was a dream I had recently btw)

I didn't know my MIL understood English for the first three years of my marriage. Of course once I took care of her when she got sick it was a different story. Man, do I miss her paella and empanadas (though I'm sure they weren't gluten-free). Holidays at our house are tame because it's just the 3 of us and sometimes my brother and SIL.

Ooh yay! Royal Coronation! Gimme Gimme! I want a crown with amethyst and emerald gems on it, silver please! As for the jester though, I don't know if I need one, I can entertain quite well... or So I am told. (Probably because I scare easily, or I fall standing still, or walls keep jumping out at me, Or I mix up my words/sentences)

The dreams I can remember are often quite....interesting... You should hear the nightmare I had the other day... (And I'd wake up, go back to sleep and it would just continue. That never happens, except for this time.

Once upon a time, a family sat down for an evening meal. But it was no ordinary meal, it was a meal to introduce one of the daughter's beau to the entire family. But the Beau was late. So one daughter goes up to check on him. (Me in the dream, it was supposedly my family but everyone looked really different and I suddenly had a lot more sisters and no brothers) She finds him in the shower pinned against the wall, and blood dripping down. (Oh and of course shower is still running) I scream and my sister and father come running up. And somehow the scene changes and I am in my bedroom. "Father" demonstrates to my sister what would have happened by throwing daggers at me. (Here is the first time I wake up) On another occasion, a fire starts in our house, or something similar, and so everyone evacuates. But apparently one of my sisters never made it out. So "Father" goes back in to find her. And then we hear maniacal laughter before the house blows up. Its here we realize "Father" killed the beau and my sister and made the house explode. (Wake up number two) After this we end up roaming the alleys near where we live, and some ladies end up chasing us. They apparently are wanting one of my sisters (told you I have a lot of sisters.) Soon we end up in an alley where there are a lot of look alikes to my sister the women are after. We lose my sister and thus have to find her. The ladies corner us and ask her to help them find her in the alley of look alikes. The only way to tell which is our sister is by her shoes, she has a very distinct pair of shoes. But its still hard because everyone has shoes similar to hers. (My sister's shoes were black heeled sneaker type shoes with criss-crossing bands.) So finally we find someone who looks like my sister, but isn't and tell the women its her. Meanwhile we look for my sister. After finding her, we run away, hoping to outrun our pursuers. (wake up 3) We then end up in some discount department store, and the women figured out that it wasn't my sister we pointed out to them, and now they are pursuing us in the store. We mad dash down aisles, and such trying to dodge them. Finally we all (I am not sure how we fit four girls) hide in one of those round clothing racks. The women look and look in our rack but somehow we are all able to move away from where they are looking. (Final wake up.)

And Jess, yes my first dream = VERY Alice in Wonderlandish.

Good thing you don't watch the movies that Superman and I do (or should I call him Clark when not saving the word). Their plots sound like your dream. Stay away from haunted houses this weekend. We're going to the Bates Haunted Motel. Supposedly two ships wrecked on the beach near our house in the 1600s and one of the Captains took up residence in the Motel. Last year we went to a haunted penitently in Philly.

BE's dad is being released to a convalescent home within walking distance of his home so his wife can walk over and see him. They're both in their 80's so they have that whole lifetime-of-being-with-each-other thing going on. I hope he gets through this quickly.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure. 
    • Mari
      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
