kareng Grand Master

Stymphony, I could like it. Bob's out-- bob is the (invisible) frisbee player who never seems to catch or return it. We think he has issues (shhhh....).

my garden was still overly damp to do more than sneak and handful of spinach and a few peas... sigh.

My gin and tonic is delish tho.

My son was trying to play frisbee at the senior picnic. He said he had never seen a more pathetic group of frisbee players. We didn't realize that Bob & his cousins - Rob, Robbie, Bobby & Bobbie were playing. That explains alot.

Do Bob & his cousins play other sports, too?

Absolutely - - Bob shows up whenever I step on a tennis or squash court. . . ... <_<

The only team/group/projectile-based* sport that Bob hasn't joined me has been croquet. Not sure why he doesn't like it...

*we avoid discussing ball sports, as it seems in induce snickers even in those who are old enough to simply twitch their eye brows appropriately at the pun.

I believe Bob has played a few times on my boys lacrosse teams.

J's summer job report:

He gets a desk & a computer in a room with others in "short" cubicles (you can see over the top if you are tallish).

He has learned that:

-When the boss leaves, a ball is tossed around the office

- Call in sick if the weather is nice

- If you use a germaphobe's computer, expect him to spend 15 minutes cleaning the keyboard, desk, area around the desk and then 10 minutes of handwashing

- 18 year olds hired to do thier jobs must be geninuses

Great.... :blink:

Try to convince him that most jobs aren't like this.

I used to work next to a germiphobe (sort of?) who worked from home some days. She quite thoroughly cleaned her desk area the day after she had worked from home. But she used hand sanitizer, not actual hand washing.

We call it "working from home" although, I will admit, there are some days when working from home also means working 12 hour days and not getting around to showering, as one was too busy working. Or working on official snow days... or holidays... or when one is actually sick.

Hmm... I could use a few genius underlings. But of the sort who are very focused... is that a cotnradiction in terms?

Hmmmm . . . so it wasn't a cute little nickname when the kids used to call me Bob in highschool? :huh:

Yeah! right! He was watching re- runs of The Office and saying, " Yeah! That happens!". " this is just like my office"

Apparently, there are men in the office who can make an entire sentence out of cuss words. He finds this hysterical.

He is very focussed if the job deals with machinery or physics or sports or food. My other is extremely focussed if the job requires animal care, making fires, cooking over a fire, video games, canoeing, etc

I'm so happy for J. Tony is working a graveyard shift washing dishes. We didn't lean on him to get a job before last summer and we got here too late for him to find one Now he's facing the cruel reality of most first jobs..

BTW, he bought the three of us Bare Naked Ladies tickets as a combination of a mother's and father's day present.

Oh, that's phab, Low!! They put on a GREEEEEEAAAT show - - so much fun!

DD's part-time job at Wallyworld sounds not a whole lot better than washing dishes, but at least she has the constant flow of P.O.W's (People of Walmart) lined up at her cash to keep her visually entertained.

Many of them could climb up on a stage and be just as entertaining as The Bare Naked Ladies.... . . .

:rolleyes:

Hey . . . I did nae know your DD was working WallyWorld . . . is she the one that keeps taking the pictures and sending them out for the world to see? . . . Did the cross-dresser with the pink mohawk go through her line?

No Mohawk Guy yet... . . .. but remember, it is now thong season, and the Thong POWs are surfacing. I've told her to try to take pics while she's on break.

Actually, I'd like to know where the bulk of the POW pics that are circulated around in emails are taken. . . ...I don't think we have enough of the splendor here in Ottawa to be contributing to the mailouts, for Sophie says that there isn't much to photograph.

...Just individuals with eighty packages of Christie's Double Chunk Cookies stuffed into their carts. . ..... :blink:. . .... well, hey, they were on sale last week. .. . ... .

Ya don't want to miss a good sale. Especially the double chunk.

I fear I have the potential to become a POW - our new condo has two huge pantries - looks like one specially designed for double chunk sales :ph34r:

I believe that many of the POW pics are taken at the Walmarts in Branson & Osage beach, Mo. This is typical beach/ summer clothing styles for the Ozark vacation land.

Shrooomie,

Are you staying in ICV, NV again?

If Shroomie goes to the Walmart on the Calif side, the slippers are over dressing. Barefoot is the style.

No, we have decamped from ICV because my COPD could no longer handle the altitude - we now have a Wallyworld only a couple of miles away :rolleyes::rolleyes: but haven't unpacked my thongs or shorts, need my flip-flops because the sidewalks are too durned hot, but I need to get my tats touched up before I am ready for full POW exposure. Give me a chance to put the whole act together and I will try to grace the next POW collection.

      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.
