I was a kid, but still remember my aunt barphing in my grandma's kitchen sink--all the while running the garbage disposal. Gross! She was a nurse and still thought this was a brilliant idea. :blink:

Actually, that IS a heinous, but nonetheless brilliant idea. Let's face it - - vomit is, after all, the stuff that garbage disposals are made for. And the sink is elevated for the Erect Vomiters.... . . . ...yup, gotta go with the elevating toilet seat. Like a sudden sink-with-garbage-disposal right in yer loo!

Moi?

POeter! Ya gotta clean up barph, and sing lonely sonnets, and swab decks. .. . .an' I forget what else.. . .. ...

I'm thinking something like the chairs that hair stylists use.

Um, no. Waaaaaaaaaay too slow. Can you imagine running to the toilet, a large barph eminent, and having to crank the bowl up to chest height with your foot? A nightmare, at least with the speed my digestive system expels things. Gotta be a button - -a big one, right on the wall where you stand... . . . .. .and it's gotta move that sucker up FAST.

However, what about the spinning option that these hairstylists' chairs have? Any way we could incorporate this? If you hit the bowl from the side, perhaps, you could have it centREd. . . .

I was perusing some of the other threads and instead of reading "Am I Barking up the Wrong Tree" . . . I read . . . you know where this is going . . . "Am I Barphing up the Wrong Tree" . . . and thought . . .they're probably standing when they barph up a tree . . . followed by . . . I hope they can put an arch on that barph or it's coming right back at them.

Boomerang barf. :rolleyes:

OK . . . obviously too much vomit talk.

I was wondering what the correct tree for barfing is. Maybe a pine tree type. Low branches, lots of pine needles to fall off and cover the barf.

Obviously, this button must be on the doorjam so it can be pushed on the way in. Any more time spent on it could end in disaster. :unsure:

Righto. How about installing a bunch of them -- one on the arm of your couch, one on your nightstand, on your car dashboard for the times you're dashing into the house to barph, holding it through the garage, the kitchen.. . . . . . ...

Remember the Flowbee? We need something like that. The mouthpiece could look similar to what the Top Gun pilots wear. The suction would instantly carry everything away from the face and dispose contents immediately. No clean up!

especially when you consider that the males with the penii can often not even meet the target accurately

Do NOT even get me started on THAT one!!

Nope, the actual barph tree is a ginko tree. We have them on some city streets in DC and in the late summer they drop these little, baby ginko seeds/fruits. They drop a lot of them. Tons and tons all over the sidewalks. And they rot and smell exactly like barph!

Unfortunately they are very tall trees so barphing up 'em wood be nigh impossible. Of course it's only the female trees that produce the smelly fruit. The male trees are highly prized for their stately elegance and refined manners. Insert uppity tree snorphing sound here. So only the males trees are planted now. They have talked about ways to "discourage" the female trees mating habits, including chemicals and little chastity belts for the flower heads. But the trees are too tall to make that practical.

Haha, I know those trees. Those fruits are supposedly to attract the males who are well acquainted with barph from their college beer-drinking days. Maybe you did not go to college?? :unsure: Some females will do whatever it takes to attract some males :rolleyes:

Hmmmm.. . . . ..gotta make the field easier to steer from, methinks.. .. ...take all temptation away, and those stinky female flowers would slow production, methinks. . . . .

:lol: Perhaps psychiatric arborists are needed to be called in.. ... . . .. ..arboreal promiscuity could be a field specialty, and there may be well-documented methods to address this - - approaches like giving the male trees horrific leaf trims/prunings, or manipulating the male trees' appearance to have them seem thin, needy, lacking any material wealth.... . . .. and absolutely discouraging the male species from standing quietly, branches moving slightly in the breeze, and listening, listening, listening, to the constant, confessional female tree-chatter around them. BIG thing to discourage.

Yep, that would be a great start.

Are we done barphing now? Perhaps we can start a new, more upbeat topic: coughing, snotty noses, menstrual cramps, carbuncles?

Hope it ain't strep, Leeeesargh!

I would rather work on an attachment to the toilet that raises the bowl, quickly, to, say, chest level. DH's nose won't clog, Shrooomie's knees would be saved..... . . . ..one could raise it up for easier cleaning. Though ill users would have to be certain to lower the bowl after barphing - - not such a good thing for anyone racing in with sudden bowel issues. Helluva thing, managing to climb up to a chest-high bowl.. . . . . ...

Hmmm. . . . . . ...may need some refining.. .. . . .. :rolleyes:

Now it's my turn to join the barf brigade but I also have D. So I need a bucket and the toilet. I HATE flu season!!!!!! Now that's Peoter is back I suggest that Kareeng and Em become his Queens (with perks).

Gotta run....... literally!

It's a pherry fenomenon. Groups of people end up sitting in the same booth. After a couple years of seeing the same group of people every day for half an hour you end up knowing each other pretty well.

There are similar groups of ladies who have bonded over putting on makeup and doing their hair in the ladies room.

I don't think there are any mens room groups....

You have faerie friends? Do they have sparkly wings? Magic dust? Do they know Tinkerbelle?

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      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.

Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      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.
