They also require gatorade & Mt Dew. I will have them talk endlessly about servos & regulators, fireworks & violent vidoe games. Then they can hit each other & burp! I will tell them under no circumstances to help with the cooking, warming up, serving or cleaning up of the foodstuffs. Perhaps they can spill blue gatorade on MIL's lovely white blouse? The blue doesn't come out of cotton.

Once the ILs go home, you can have the boys back for dinner. They will make a gluten-free dessert & help you grill or make pasta. They can talk about movies & thier jobs and normal stuff.

My MIL told my hub when we were dating that we Catholics just want to have 12 kids & take over the world. 2 of her 3 son's married Catholics & one became Catholic.

Sounds like your boys are related to my husband. Our fridge is always stocked with Mt Dew and Gatorade. Although we are currently only drinking the real sugar Mt Dew. Will they mind no high fructous corn syrup or should I buy the regular stuff to encourage extra bad behavior?

To tell the truth, we really don't drink much. I will have wine or champagne for a special occaision but I'm not a big drinker. I guess moving calls for celebration. :P

Your MIL sure sounds nice. My MIL told my husband when he was a little boy that he should never get married. At all.

Isn't that common knowledge . . . hence the "no contraception" rule. Also, the Pope owns a ton of stock in the fishing industry. That's why we have the "no meat on Fridays during Lent" rule . . . it really brings in a lot of money. The financial resources for taking over the world has to come from somewhere.

We prefer the Throwback Dew! My MIL was a mess.

No way, I could tolerate the IL's for 3 weeks! Actually I can barely stand my own parents that long. After a week I'm ready to leave or have them go home if they are visiting me. I always considered myself to have a good relationship with them too compared to most my friends relationships with their parents. I guess I'm a bad adult child. I love them they just annoy me after so long....glad I could stir up some promising solutions to your IL situation however. Maybe instead of moving you could choose to be remodeling the guest room or have a roof leak only over the guest bed or something? Close the doorway off with caution tape and tell them they will have to sleep in the bathtub instead?

New members of the thread sometimes don't know of our history, of which Em's ho tub is just one element. Long time members here also know of the yeti, my balls, and other esoteric stuff.

Members have come and gone since then, but there are a core group of us who have been here for a long time.

A brief history of the early days is here.

oooh, so happy I don't have an MIL who would descend the day before I move. I like my own mother. I might even have her come pack, as she is a master packer. I always have a moving crisis on my own, so adding another stressor would not help.

Another vote for the bath tub approach!

(And happy canada day)

A bit of silly history, for the newbies.

This thread was started almost three years ago by Richard (TriticusToxicum). It took more than a year to reach 200 pages, at which point the phirst poster on page 200, Bev (Mntdog) was declared to be the Queen of the Sillies (normal spelling was still in effect). Since then, the first poster on a page which is a multiple of 100 becomes the King or Queen for the next 100 pages (1,500 posts).

I joined the group on page 327 in November of 2007, with a post about Amanda's honeymoon. :ph34r:

Members have come and gone since then, but there are a lot of us who have been here for a long time.

The history of the monarchy, as it happened, is as follows:

*Go to page 1700 and read on to understand the quick turnover. :rolleyes:

Due to some posts having been deleted from the thread, you will see a different version if you go to the hundred-multiple pages. The chronology reflects the ascensions as they happened.

If you read the whole thread:

1. You need to get a life (I did read the whole thing when it was 327 pages);

2. You will understand about parades, the yeti, and the Royal Courtiers;

3. You will realize that we will talk about ANYTHING here, and there is never TMI;

4. You will still not understand our obsessive need to discuss private body parts.

Welcome to all the newbies! This is a safe, phun place to hang out.

Thank you for the brief history. I guess I will just nod and smile. I have no life but I'm too lazy to read it all. :lol:

Actually, didn't it come about because of a typo? One must be careful here, because typos can become part of the 'normal'. Like Jess's civkebs :P

POeter's balls!!! :lol: :lol: Forgot about these. . . . . . .

Are they really esoteric, POeter?. .. ...

:lol:B)

This just kills me every time. I remember clearly when Oracle POeter joined this bunch, wondering what was going on, and we all sent him off with instructions to read the whole thread before participating further. And HE DID!! :lol:

Nope. This one was not a typo. There was a lengthy exchange about three thousand pages ago about Home Depot, and I wondered aloud if there was a "Ho Depot" anywhere (two letters burnt out on the sign).. . . . . . .then we pondered what would be sold at such an establishment, if there would be scratch and dent sales, if they would accept rainchecks.. . . . . ....

That seemed to move to my HOT tub being called a ho tub, shortly after I found, incredibly, a crutch tip at the bottom of said tub when we drained it for the summer.

We played 20 questions -- Okay, you need to try to guess what was sitting on one of the seats of my tub when we emptied it this afternoon... ... . ..

:lol:

I think Ptaoughmghmn eventually got it.

After a couple of hints.

Nice history. I had also thought perhaps it was a typo that became part of the vernacular. So dare I ask how a crutch tip got in the ho tub?

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
