No finals?

Put a chicken in your pocket.

I made the mistake of giving J one of my chocolate Ktoos ( gluten-free Oreos). " so much better then Oreos! ". Now I must hide them. :(

No finals. I have to write a six page paper on the hidden Markov chain method. But I'm way too tired to start that. ;)

Funny! I have a couple who peck at my fingernails when I pet them.

To give the bigger chicks a little more room I put a big box in front of their cage with the side down so they can go in and out. They spent the first hour "daring each other to go in. One would stand on the edge of the cage and another one would dive bomb her from the top of the shoe box, shoving her outside. Then they'd all scream bloody murder and go running into the back of the cage. The it would start all over with a different brave soul standing at the edge.

You little devil!

Its just been pouring rain all day! :(

J is finished with high school, we hope! Don't really know until you open the envelope they give him Sunday at Graduation. ;)

Of course J will graduate and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Clark & I had a horrible time adjusting to Tony's leaving (especially since he rarely got in touch at first). Things improved over the year and today he's bringing his stuff (and his crush whom we love) home to drop off his stuff then go back up to Brown to get Bethany's things (crush) to store here over the summer - she's from Chicago. Then they're helping friends move their things to storage, What he doesn't understand is a tank of gas is $75 here and we're not paying it for him. I can't believe he's completed his first year. We're going to have a quick lunch at a restaurant that's hiring so hopefully they'll see something in him. He doesn't have paid job experience.

Lub,

I'm thinking they probably sound similar too. :lol::lol:

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

Just how old do you have to be, to be an "advanced" senior resident?? Just want to know for when I get there :blink::ph34r: So I can understand my behavior with whatever amount of reasoning I have left :lol: Or maybe it depends on how many posts you have made (in which case Patteigh is over the top!)

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

You and me both. The getting life back part I understand; it's the agony I don't. Maybe it's the relief from agony??? :P But then they still seem to agonize, even when they's gone :o

Many of them are well into their nineties... . . . ....so I'll say 90... ....my mom, at 83, is often the youngster in the crowd.

Harriet, a resident that my mom considers a real friend, turned 105 last week. They threw a big party for her in the lounge. She told me that one of the main reasons she has lived so long and remained SO physically and mentally fit is - - no surprise - - her insistence on having humoUr in her life, every day. She has the Comedy Channel on her TV throughout the day, reads funny books and has always searched out witty, amusing characters to interact with. It is her mission; to laugh loud and long every single day. Isn't that something? :)

Here is a senior prank we here at C.com will appreciate.

J's class painted a toliet shiny gold. They installed it with a cement base in the courtyard by the senior lockers. The class speech yesterday had the words "poop" & "poopy" in it at least 6 times.

I saw a picture and it was truly a splendid throne. I am thinking gold toliets may become the style for Psillies everywhere.

All systems go at our house today :) Scaffolders here and have already got up to the point of peering in my bedroom :o and bathroom :blink: - gonna have to change some habits for the next week or so (no window coverings in bathroom), although they can't see the throne.:ph34r: Lead scaffolder is a BIG Maori fellow with braided dreadlocks tied in a high ponytail. He still has his jacket on so I can't check for tats, and I don't care about his thumbs - definitely not my type.

And tonight Rolf (he of the heavy Teutonic accent) arrives. Hub will have to wear his hearing aids or he will never understand him. Sounds like a very nice fellow, and he will be bedding down with us for the week while he saws apart and rebuilds our Tulikivi fireplace :D. I have stocked up on wurst and sauerkraut and am making German potato salad :lol: - have to keep him happy :)

All this courtesy of the Earthquake Commision for which we pay an additional $70 per year on our house insurance. They pay up to the first $100,000 damage (which we certainly don't have but many do). and up to $20,000 on contents. Bet they go bust on this quake which is estimated to cost $30 billion, but that includes all the infrastructure and the program doesn't cover commercial insurance.. Even Warren Buffet has been called in on his reinsurance :o

How rude!! laugh.gif

Glad things are getting fixed at last Shroom! .... although I have to say I HATE it when I have to have builders in the house.

I can never relax, dunno whether to let them get on... engage in conversation...or just to check their thumbs out regardless of type blink.gif

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers.

      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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      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."

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/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
