Deputies did not say why Trumble attacked the washer. She was ticketed.

First time I read this, I thought it said, "She was ticked"

:rolleyes:

Talk about a dichotomy. Anyway, as usual I digress. We should figure out which psillie could role play and try the woman who assaulted the washer. I can think of reasons I'd assault my glass top stove.Thanks for the smile biggrin.gif I'll pop in again later.Loey

Hmmmmm.....I think Nikkers could play the woman who attacked the washer. Methinks she might have some pent-up anger....just guessing :P

She'd be a natural, but in her role-playing you'd have to tell her it was the boiler :ph34r: not the washer.

Perhaps it was all a ruse . . . maybe she just wanted something new. My current washer & dryer don't match, don't do very big loads and are LOUD. I told me hubby which ever one goes out first, we're replacing them both with a top notch (cha-chinchillaching) pair. That was several years ago. They're still going . . . I might have to resort to sabotage . . . with a knife apparently.

Riddle me this, batman . . . why is the person (Skeeter) with the most clothes in the house, the one that runs out of clean clothes first??

Hiya Jan-it!!!!! :D

How's things?

Ummmm . . . busy, I guess . . . Smackl is transitioning to middle school. Lots of events in the schedule. Tomorrow they have what they call a "try on" . . . where any 5th grader can go over and try a couple of the instruments to see if they want to take band. Smackl has decided to try the trumpet, the viola, and the bassoon. I think he wants to try the bassoon just because it looks weird.

Also, Smackl is in the homestretch for his black belt. Final testing is in June. Lots more practices, some seminars, letters of recommendation and a community service project . . . I have to take him to get passport photos taken for his ID which gets issues out of Korea.

In other news, it seems like my kids did not do well with the time change . . . they are both pretty grumpy . . . I have resorted to telling them to quit talking to each other.

Also, just had some good friends leave for England on Sunday. They will be there for three years. Nikkers, we are headed to England the summer after next . . . pencil me in.

When I was about 12, maybe, I killed my parents' washer. One of my many chores was to do the laundry and in those days, the machine could run the whole cycle with the lid open. I saw my mom run it this way many times, so didn't think anything of it. So, I was running a load and heard the most gawd awful banging--the jug of fabric softener had fallen in, and I guess made the load terribly off-balance and the drum came loose and was banging around and making dents in all sides of the machine.

Killed it :rolleyes:

A friend on FB posted this from my hometown....

:unsure: Appliance abuse?

I have wanted to do this many times to my appliances. However, i was afraid I would hurt myself.

So much has happened today while I was trying to ski! Can't get any pics of the boys as I cannot catch up to them. They only meet up for lunch so we will fund it.

A dryer is easy to sabotage. If you have the manual ( if not look on line - at the library so it can't be traced back to you) look for the fuse. Pull it out.

Wa-lah! New appliances all around!

Okay psills - new vocabulary word for the day (for me lately anyway - I was used to the first definition)

"Munted" - formerly used in the sense of an over-inebriated state, like I got totally munted on wodka last night. New use: shattered, buggared (this word is okay here - Toyota even used it in a commercial :rolleyes: ), destroyed, irreparable, flattened, as in: That building is totally munted.

Mayor Bob Parker has now issued three levels of muntedness - the minor-munt, the medium-munt and the mega-munt, I would guess roughly corresponding with green stickered, yellow stickered or red stickered Our house has a minor munt. :) but we still need to remediate the muntedness before we leave it for da winter - may delay our departure :( #%*/@ red tape :blink:

Heading to Toronto this afternoon for a few days. We are, appropriately as I am Kween 'round here for while longer, attending this on Friday night:

Open Original Shared Link

I called the information number to let them know about my status as Monarch. Went something like, "Just in case you are not aware, I am the Psillyville Queen for the next fifty pages... . .I am assuming that this presents me with a free entrance pass, seating on the arena floor and perhaps an opportunity to be officially introduced to the thousands in the audience. Likely the knights and jousters will wish to sweep me up on their chargers at some point in the performance -- I will take the opportunity now to give my Royal Consent to this".

Annnnnnnnnnd: Silence.

"Hello?.... . ... .. Hello?"

When I first joined the psillies and wanted to hear the story of Jess and BE I read the thread from the start of their relationship. I really have to get a life (other than going to doctor's offices)! Hey, at least today's doctor's appointment is just for eyeglasses - no poking and prodding. Tomorrow is the follow-up with the Oncologist and Friday the Neurologist. Get new shots in my spine next week and the following week I see the cardiologist (where he will give me a drug to stimulate a stress test) and finally my PCP and then it looks like April is free and clear- YAY!!!!! Now Clark just needs a job. No word from the place he interviewed

      One thing to keep in mind is that it's pretty safe to take a B-complex since B vitamins are water soluble. You just pee out any excess.

      Insomnia help

      Hi @hjayne19 It sounds as if your insomnia is closely linked to your anxiety. I had awful anxiety at diagnosis, and that feeling of doom that you describe. My other symptoms were racing thoughts, and a tangible sensation of a weight bearing down on my shoulders, even if I was feeling perfectly well and happy - it would just hit me. I then got a phobia...

      Hi @trents thanks so much for the insights this helps alot. These were my metrics at celiac diagnosis. In which my diet has since changed over the past 3 months Magnesium: 0.80 mmol/L Vitamin B12: 1021 Vitamin D (25-OH): 102.8 I would say I do get tired after eating more carbs and the only thing that really helps me fall asleep...

      Hi @cristiana   Thank you so much for your reply. This is so helpful. I definitely suffer from anxiety mostly related to health. Brain fog definelty doesn’t help this when it comes. I find my 4 am wake ups are potentially more food related if that’s a possibility (eating enough carbs with protein and fats) and if I eat a small snack before bed to hold throughout the night. I just haven’t been able to help the sudden increase in more days where I can’t fall asleep for hours - it’s those racing thoughts like you describe. I feel like a machine that’s running and can’t shut down.    I will try the epsom salt bath that’s a great suggestion. I think I’m probably working through some other food triggers that may be contributing as well with brain fog.    Anyways sorry to go off. It feels so reassuring finding this community and being able to chat with others. I was definitely feeling a bit crazy until I realized there are many others going through the same thing.

      Hi Jayne Great choice for a gluten-free cycling holiday, I know the island well. The words you need to look for are 'sin gluten' when you are out and about.   I think you will be amazed at how many packets and canned goods are clearly labelled 'sin gluten' in the supermarkets - many more than one sees here - often in quite large type.  There seems to be a thought in the UK that if you label something gluten free it will affect flavour etc and will put people off buying it!  However, in the case of Spain, it is almost as if the the Spanish see it as an endorsement of quality and flavour!  There is a supermarket called Mercadona and they label their produce very clearly. Paella should be gluten free so long as the chef use the right stock such as Knorr or a gluten-free homemade stock - you can check.  Most Mallorquins in catering speak English but if not, ask, "Contiene gluten?"  Tumbet is a wonderful dish if you like peppers, tomato, aubergines, garlic and olive oil!  A sort of variation on ratatouille.   Slow roast lamb shank should be safe, and there are endless fish dishes to choose from and salads.  Flan is made with eggs, sugar and caramel, and should be gluten-free.  Lots of gluten-free ice cream and sorbets, they should be clearly labelled. If you want specific restaurant recommendations, feel free to PM me. Cristiana

      Hi @hjayne19 It sounds as if your insomnia is closely linked to your anxiety.  I had awful anxiety at diagnosis, and that feeling of doom that you describe.   My other symptoms were racing thoughts, and a tangible sensation of a weight bearing down on my shoulders, even if I was feeling perfectly well and happy - it would just hit me.  I then got a phobia to make things worse, linked to the fact that I had was suffering hypnopompic hallucinations (brief hallucinations on waking).  That was weird but I later learned they aren't all that uncommon, especially with people who suffer from aura migraines.   In fact I felt so unwell that I didn't even recognise it as 'anxiety'.  I remember googling my various symptoms and it was only that that  made me realise I was suffering from anxiety, which was nothing like 'feeling a bit nervous before taking an exam' or , say, making a speech.  This was a whole new ball game. As I came off gluten and healed, the anxiety started to get less and less.  It is not uncommon for coeliacs to have anxiety on diagnosis, so I hope that is reassuring to you.   And deficiencies can make it worse, or cause it, so are definitely worth investigating in further depth if you can.   There is certainly a big difference between 'normal' levels and 'optimum', as @trents says, and this excerpt from a British website and explains how with B12,, for example,  a normal level in one person can represent a deficiency in another: In the UK, normal B12 levels vary slightly by lab but generally, above 200 ng/L is considered sufficient, 100-145 ng/L indicates possible deficiency, and below 100 ng/L suggests likely deficiency, though levels between 146-200 ng/L may still warrant treatment if symptoms are present, as per North Bristol NHS Trust and NICE guidelines In fact, I understand levels are set much higher in other countries, such as Japan.  When I started to supplement B12 with high dose sublinguals I began to feel better, even though at diagnosis my levels were considered 'low normal'.    I too had a lot of muscle twitching which was likely due to deficiencies, but of course if someone has a lot of adrenaline in their system it will only make twitching worse.  I remember reading on this forum one should take magnesium tablets, and it did really help.  As a sportsperson you might like to try throwing a good handful of Epsom salts into a lukewarm bath, and have a soak for 20 mins, as it can be absorbed through the skin.  But be careful as you leave the bath, it can make you woozy! Lastly, to address the anxiety,  I found Dr Steve Llardi's book, albeit on Depression, incredibly helpful.  The Depression Cure: The Six Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs.    Dr Llardi outlines a step-by-step plan for recovery from depression, which focuses on six key lifestyle elements that have largely disappeared in healthy doses from modern life:  physical exercise,  omega-3 fatty acids,  natural sunlight exposure,  restorative sleep,  social connectedness, and meaningful, engaging activity.    The other book (and there is a website) which helped me understand anxiety and recover is Paul David's, At Last a Life, written by a one-time sufferer.  I live in the UK and if I could award a knighthood to anyone in this country, it would be to Paul.  I am so grateful that these books crossed my path.   Anyway, sorry for the length of this post.  I hope something might be of help.

I have a follow up appointment soon so will look into those other B vitamin levels.
