My least fave is the sperm trees. There's some kinda tree that got imported hundreds of years ago that smells like sperm when it blooms. Just WHY? WHY would you plant more?

Remember these? The Bradford pear trees? They are starting to bloom! :ph34r:

OMG. . . . .forgot about the sperm trees.. . . . .:lol:

Yes, who indeed would plant more o' them? Not the kind of scent you want wafting in your kitchen and living room windows throughout the day, non-stop, all spring.. . . ....

At least there is no perfume fashioned after this pear tree.

.. . . . . ..... . .Is there??.. . ..... . :blink:

:lol:

You know, back in the days when I knew no better, I was quite enamoured of this tree and was proposing to plant one right beside our deck, where we used to sit on spring and summer evenings to provide a meal for the skeeters :blink: No, I didn't plant something else, I just phorgot about it, thank goodness.

Gads, have I got a lot to do. .. . . .. :wacko::wacko::wacko:

Having a 50th birthday party here this Saturday night for DH. He is MUCH, MUCH older than I. <_< There will be about twenty people, just family and a few close friends. (Um, guess who is flying in tomorrow, 5:42 pm?). . . . ...

.. . ..MIL . .. . .... :noadequateemoticonavailable:

Saturday night is coincidentally the final night of Jack's musical production, which actually works out well because almost everyone who is coming to the party will be heading to the musical afterwards. It'll be one big convoy.. . .. ..

SOosoosooOoO, I have to clean the entire house and the yard in case we are out on the deck, hit groceries and the liquor store... . . ....and the big thing: I decided four days ago to do a painting for DH. I am about half-finished.....it must be dry, matted and framed by Friday night.

:unsure:

So WHAT IN HELL am I doing on here??. . .

Oh, man, would that ever be splendid!

Jack and the cast ran through the whole musical yesterday afternoon in front of the entire public school next door that came over for a field trip. A group of six year-olds were assembled in the front foyer and Jack walked by them in full costume and dramatic makeup. They fell utterly silent, staring like this:

:huh::huh::blink::huh::blink::huh:

He said to me afterwards, "PLEASE tell me that I don't look like this when you're seeing me up on stage, from the audience!!"

I just watched my ~14 pound cat run in terror from a ~6 pound chicken.

So funny! Hub & I are imaging a big tough cat chased by a chicken. Cooper would be running away, too.

Civckeb talk :lol:

Well, Elsie would run, terrified, from a rampant chicken. Hank, however, wants to be everything's friend (squirrels, unapproachable neighboUrs, ALL cats, particulary our two whom he follows around the house, licking their heads).... . ..so, a chicken would be nothing but a potential playmate.

But as Patteigh has said, civckebs always look pissed off.. . .perhaps he'd hesitate.. .. . . ... :rolleyes:

Well. . . ....I am still on a high. We went to the opening night of The Drowsy Chaperone at Jack's school, and it was incredible. I sound very like a biased mom, but everyone in the audience was truly blown away. I only wish Soooozle could have been there.... . ....

:lol:

Jack was fantastic. He is in the chorus, so nothing up-front, but one of the vital support cast in the background who makes it all look and sound amazing. He plays the part, in this scene, of one of the cameramen who dances around, lifts up the leading lady, and generally keeps smiling', movin' his feet and singin'.. .. . ..

      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.

      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."

      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.
