The only movie that's ever freaked me out as a kid, and still does is the Disney movie Watcher in the Woods. Freakin' FREAKY!!!!

Gawd, some severe dating of meselph, here.. . . . there has only been one movie that absolutely terrified me as a child: When I was about four, my sister and her boyfriend let me come along to the drive-in to se (the original -- probably 1970) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I have very few concrete memories from that age, but I recall perfectly the scene that had me suddenly screaming in fear, causing my sister to have to rush to the backseat and try to console me. No goin'.. .. .I was screaming, crying, hyperventilating. . ...they finally had to start the car up and go home, where I proceeded to have nightmares for many sleeps afterwards... . ..

It was the scene where the fat little bratty kid falls into the vat of chocolate and disappears into the processing machine.

:huh:

:lol: :lol:

Dear gawd.. . . . ...I still get a little.. . :unsure:..... ..anxious.. . .. ....jus' thinking about it.... .. ...

Cannae see Giann-knits clip 'cos me computer runs like crap 'Shockwave flash has crashed' ...

Shockwave Flash. . . . .....this is a perimenopausal incident, methinks, no?

I also remain bumfoozled re. the butter/jam phenomenon. . . .... . rather the same puzzle exists for me with Marmite/Vegemite... . . ....does it go on toast? Does one melt a spoonful of it into a mug of hot water and drink it? (DH does this........dunno if it is proper protocol).. . . . .:huh:

Personally I buttter the toast them put jam on (NOT jelly, so we're clear)

OR, a dollop of jam on rice pudding....... or just straight out of the jar (Nom, nom!) tongue.gif

Marmite or vegemite straight on the toast... potentially a tea spoon in a cup of boiling water.

Glad we cleared that up!! laugh.gif

HEY, Gnick! Looks fab! Are you doing the 10K?

Aye. I am smile.gif

Spent most of the day debating what to wear for it...long sleeve, layers, short sleeves?, long running tights??

I need to travel 30 mins on the train to get there (bloomin' chilly in the morning) but get hideously hot when I run

GAH!

Proper protocol is to throw it in the garbage (where it belongs) or don't bring it home in the phirst place :P Disgusting stuphhh!!

Warning: very unpsilly stuff ahead!

We were eliminated. Our robot did OK but not as well as it should have in the last rounds. That's probably the hardest part for J to take- his last robotics match and he didn't do his best. Glad hub was here, I couldn't talk to J without crying. It's really hard to see your big strong son in tears. The 2 girls on the team he has known the longest were looking at him helplessly. I'll try to be silly later.

I have to preface that I hadn't read Karengs post when I wrote the rest of this... I have a 15 yr old.. that's too bad, I feel for you both.

This is in response to the earlier psilly pstuff.

Bwahahahaha! :lol: :lol: :lol: I try to keep quiet and behave but you guys crack me up!!!

Princess Bride.... ma fav.. and now? UHF (of course) :P

(should I be havin a Canadgen accent? I know, eh..

:( Man.. . . . . your poor boy. His team did SO well, though! But I know....it just ain't the same as takin' the whole thing.

DD's competitive hockey team is in their final tournament this weekend. For Sophie this is big, as it likely is the last comp hockey tourney she will ever be in. We play tonight, and if we win it's the semi-final game tomorrow morning, and then the gold medal game @ 4:00. She REALLY wants to make it to the end, too!

When I was posting I thought, " Em & Sophie will know how we feel.". He is better. He is drinking a $5 Mt Dew and eating $3 peanut M&Ms. When he was little, we called it "the chocolate cure".

Sorry to hear the news Karenne. Glad the chocolate cure is helping . . . I know it helps me all the time . . . even when I don't need to be cured of anything.

Good luck to ya, Knick . . . Can nae run anymore, me knees are about 50 years older than the rest of me body . . . perhaps if I ate more chocolate???

And we had a commercial on TV here for a bank - Scottish couple emigrated, bank was ever so helpful, you know the routine, and here is Dad talking about his lil' monster toddler on the plane and he says "And wee Geordie cried all the way here" :o So I can't be wrong :ph34r:

So, this evening we had the annual charade known as "Earth Hour."

Here in Ontario, our electricity is produced primarily by hydro dams and nuclear stations, both of which emit no carbon gases. Only a tiny fraction of our power comes from emission-producing fossil fuel sources.

So, apparently this evening many Ontarians turned off their emission-free electric lights and LIT CANDLES! Candles are made from paraffin, a wax derived 100% from fossil fuels.

So, to protest carbon emissions, they turned off their emission-free electric lamps, and lit carbon-emitting candles. Huh? Why don't we fight for peace? Or, maybe, drink to sobriety?

etta694 Explorer

Yes, if the latent power hidden within our community could be harnessed.. :blink: but "Methane is a relatively potent greenhouse gas." ... and dangerous around candles... :o

psawyer Proficient

Hmm, Etta, those weren't the emissions that I was thinking of, but I think maybe I should keep upwind. :ph34r:

But you have to admit, PeOter, that they are the emissions most often discussed here :P:lol:

OooOOh, PoOeter, don't get me started!

Earth Hour... .. . . .dear gawd. Ontario produces large surpluses of energy, quite regularly. And what is Ontario regulated to do with this extra energy that we are so strongly urged NOT to use? We must PAY the province of Quebec and New York State to take it off our hands. PAY THEM. In December of 2010 we paid New York and Quebec 53 million dollars to take our extra power.

:huh:

:blink:

:angry::angry:

I turned on every single light in and around my house last evening during Earth Hour.

Okay... . ...enough political speeling.......

Carry on!

      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. 
    • knitty kitty
      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.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."  
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
