Well, we had a little excitement in the neighborhood this morning. We had some guys come through in the middle of the night and steal everything out of everyone's mailboxes.

Husbands People suck and I was thinking the same thing about the coat ;)

One year, a neighborhood teen was taking packages off everyones door steps. Someone saw him take a box off my porch. It was a couple of turtlenecks from Lands End. Another neighbors son was an FBI agent. He went to the kids house and flashed his badge at him & his mom. Things didn't disappear again. I'm sure he was disappointed by the turtlenecks. :)

Nahhhhh . . . twas just the script, not the drugs. If'n it had been the drugs I would have been majorly p.o.'d as this stuff is about a hundred bucks a bottle which lasts about 5 to 6 weeks.

Supposedly, they have been caught . . . young but not kids (ie, they'll be tried as adults). Meanwhile, mail is being found in snow banks. No tellin' if some good samaratin has mailed the script or if it has fallen apart in the slush somewhere.

That's good. Because it was the mail, they will be prosecuted. UPS or Lands End wouldn't prosecute the kid that took the package from my house. Not worth it.

A little joke...

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration, and the FAA examiner arrived last week for the pre-Christmas flight check. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his log book out and made sure all his paperwork was in order. He knew they would examine all his equipment and truly put Santa's flying skills to the test. The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and even Rudolph's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for sled's enormous payload. Finally, they were ready for the check ride. Santa got in and fastened his seat belt and shoulder harness and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a shotgun. "What's that for?!?" asked Santa incredulously. The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you this ahead of time," as he leaned over to whisper in Santa's ear, "but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff."

I didn't know there was a gluten-free brand. We saw a show recently about how they make popular holiday foods. With the Turduckin, there was stuffing all over the place! The workers took gloved handfuls of it and stuffed the birds but it got all over the place. If they did a gluten-free version, it would need to be done in a completely different room!

There's a kosher place in NY that sells it gluten-free (stuffed with rice or gluten-free bread). Perhaps that's part of the price but duck is pretty pricy on it's own. The guy was going to give me a discount because it was the last raw one he had (they sell them cooked for even more money) but it would have been $169 + shipping. There were a few other places that sold it but it wasn't gluten-free. Still expensive.

I'm wondering if your son asks for crazy and difficult stuff just to see if you will do it. :)

Of course he does because I've always done it. I had him at 40 after thinking I couldn't have children. I would have been different if I had it all over to do. But he is a good kid and doesn't drive me too crazy. As you've come to see I'm a pushover but not just with him. biggrin.gif

Getting into the Christmas spirit??

Last week, young lad aged about 10 playing Away in a Manger on the recorder outside grocery store at mini-mall. Each time I walked past he missed a note badly in the last line. The third time I waited, he missed again and I couldn't help a chuckle. Gave me a glare!! Last time, I waited and he hit it!! He flashed me a triumphant smile and a left some coins in his cap. :D

This week, same store, two 14-15 year-olds with guitars, playing --- wait for it -- Hard Day's Night :unsure: Maybe they were anticipating Santa's heroic feat :lol:

Same day, driving home for about 12 miles on highway behind a van with graffiti style writing across the back. A formal graphic 0800 number on the back window and a website obscured by the wiper blade, phinally deciphered as webcamera.com. What did the graffiti say? "Crude and Violent Nudity. Occasional Language"!!! Logged on when I got home and I guess I should have expected it - cell phone cameras under bathroom stall doors, all kinds of obnoxious perversity. Who would drive around with that on their van? :blink::rolleyes:

Had my favourite nice and current squeeze to stay last night so that raised the Christmas tone a little - she is heading to Wellington for Christmas with my sister's family, sister's ex and second wife, their kids and assorted hangers on. I understand Viv is erecting a marquee on the lawn :o Poor Viv always get stuck with the hosting - oh yeah, all Viv's hub's family are coming too. We are not going - having picnic in the park - prawns, oven fried chicken, asparagus salad, pasta salad, lots of raspberries and strawberries and pavlova.... Weather has been in the 90's but is predicted to cool for Christmas, (but not rain!! :D ) However, whenever you arrange a Kiwi picnic it always rains. :)

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      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/

      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.
