J chose these cute silver with glass shelves to put in the bathroom. I imagined them putting the roll of TP,stacked neatly on one shelf, one kids extra shampoo, etc on a shelf, the others on the other. They too the whole pack of TP & laid it on a shelf. They had swim trunks and soccer socks drying on the other shelves.

OMG. . .....:huh:. .....Kherrighnne, those guys have a girl stayin' in there with them, I'm telling ya......

Now really, if they took the rocks out of our brains, what would we do with all that empty space?

Yes, but think about how much quieter it would be?

Hope all goes well Loey . . . I really admire your positive spirit. Have a good (alcohol-free) weekend.

After I bathe, I'll tell you guys the story of how the forest service towed my truck, parked where their website told me to park, and the told me I had to figure out how to get of the forest on my own, and get the thirty miles to where they had the truck towed. Without water. or phone. in 80 degree temperature.

I sent them an email

Oh my! I can't wait to hear the story. Why were you in the forest without a phone? Run away chicken led you on a wild chase? Hiding a body and don't want to be tracked via GPS? :ph34r:

Oh dear. That's not good. We're all going to have to carry letters from our doctors stating we have digestive issues and, given our medical disability, are legally required to be provided with restroom access. (Actually have friends with Crohn's who carries a little card stating that.)

Edit: if it had been a woman, i'da bet they found a *gasp* dropped tampon tube. Maybe it was just some toothpaste.

I went hiking, parked at a marked trail head. The website said the bridge was closed to traffic, only local traffic and hikers, park at the gate and don't block it. So I did. I came back, my truck is gone, and there's a guy pushing around a pile of rocks with a cat. He told me the cops had my truck towed, because it was a construction site. :blink: :blink: And how was I supposed to know that? Nothing on the web. No signs. Nothing.

The nice construction guy parked his cat, got his truck, and drove me up and down the road trying to find the forest service cop. He finally found him, the cop guy told me my truck had been impounded and taken to Shelton - 30 miles away. I said "So what do I do?" He said I had to find a ride to Shelton to get my truck. So I'm in the middle of the forest, worn out from a four hour hike which was basically two miles of stairs up, there's no phone service in the middle of the forest, I have about 1/2 cup od water left, and it's 1 in the afternoon on the hottest day we've had this year. I just looked at the construction guy with a WTF look on my face.

He told me that their quarry was in Shelton, and the guys driving the big trailer trucks would be back in a couple hours and he'd try to get me a ride with them. We drove back to the construction site and he went to talk to his boss. The boss told him to help them set up a silt fence in the river, then Jeff, my construction guy, could load up a fuel tank that needed refilling and take me to Shelton to find my truck.

So, $600 poorer, and more knowledgeable about how they fix bridges (they had to shock the fish, collect them, and release them someplace safe :o ), I got home, and opted for an evening of wine.

$600 for a tow!?! That's insane!

That was a very nice construction guy though to help you. And what a talented (and strong?) cat he has that knows how to push rocks around! I wonder what he feeds it? :lol:

Really, I'm just glad you are okay. Is it really safe where you live to go hiking in the woods alone?

Holy crap, Jyessss.. . .. . ..I should hope you can get all (or a large part of) that six hundred bucks back, without spending that much on the legal system to represent you. Nothing marked, no signs, you're parked in the spot they instructed.....sounds like a slam dunk. I have been really wondering, lately, about the little guy's ability to fight City Hall.. . ....but your situation, Jyesss, sounds much more promising than mine. ... <_<

Wow, Jess! Good thing the construction workers were there to help! Maybe you can go back & take a picture of where you parked & the signs or lack of signs?

It's only 100 miles away...

I'm hoping Jeff, the construction guy, as a witness is sufficient. (and the rest of the construction drew, with regard to the lack of signage)

Oh! Didn't know it was so far!

Maybe point out that they stranded you and the search for you the next day would have cost them more than the $600 tow & ticket!

Holy Moly, Jess!!!

Do you have any lawyer friends? Someone that could write an intimidating letter? . . . you need to capture the website instructions somehow before they are "updated".

~2.5 hours @$177/hour, ~$88 because it was Saturday, $22.50 for 1/2 day storage :blink: , plus some service fee because I wasn't paying in cash. It's quite a racket. I imagine those guys will be sewer rats in their next life.

      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.
