Well, something water related just happened. Hub washed all the pans & cutters from our Chicken Pizza Extravaganza! :P

We had a motorcycle ride yesterday. 3000 motorcycles of all types. And 95% of them were wearing helmets!

I think I'll wait until I get my laundry finished before I post again . . . now, I would LOVE and new washer and dryer . . . how can I get that without doing major water damage to my house?

Jess!!! What a racket!!! How's the local news? Any up-n-coming news achor needing to make a name for themselves? The news here did a piece not too long ago about predatory towing.

Sounds a lot like ours. But I think the main reason most wore their helmets was because of the threat of rain <_<

Under-counter pipes dismantled.

Large clump of gunk (gag) retrieved and disposed of.

Plumbing re-assembled.

...NO deluge. It's been about an hour.. . . ....

Okay, Jyaghnutt.....post away! :rolleyes:

I found the forest service handbook on line. :rolleyes:

Five days notice? no

Removal of obstruction to more suitable place? hmm, if "unattainable" is considered suitable. And only allowed if the vehicle is "...an impediment or hazard to the safety, convenience, or comfort of other users, or is left in such a manner that it impairs access or use of any area of the National Forest System or other lands under Forest Service control." so no on this one too.

Now I'm really mad. Even if I had been parked improperly, he had no justification for towing my truck.

I need help. I have to give a wedding toast in 3 weeks and I can't, for the life of me, think of anything to say. Mostly because I adore one and can't stand the other. But, it's my resposibility as maid of honor to do it. I've written and rewritten the damn thing and it sounds snarky every time. Any suggestions??

To my friend,Suzy,.. may you have a wonderful life - with or without this Bozo! :o

To Suzy and Bill, May you grow old together in a happy and full life and the little gold-digger not poison you for the insurance policy! :ph34r:

This is hard!

What about just some generic best wishes and a happy life thing? Don't need to say how wonderfull he is.

Give what you've done to hub and have him edit out the snarkiness :D - presumably he knows the parties involved - then you edit out the stuff you don't like that he put in and then he edits out whatever snarkiness crept back in, and .....

All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!

Look up wedding toasts, maybe get some ideas.

Can we read it?

The FS officer called me, said he saw my email and disagreed with it. That he didn't leave me 'alone in the forest', that it's a very busy place, and he drives up and down the roads all day and would have kept an eye out for me. Then he said he didn't understand why I was so upset at being "alone" since I was hiking alone. After a very long silence on my part, I said that even if my truck wasn't running, I would have had a safe place to be.

He did give me the number of his supervisor, who sounds reasonable. When I mentioned that he wasn't concerned about my safety because the National Park was just a mile away, she said, 'that's not relevant, this is the forest service, you weren't in the park'.

How the hell would I know where the national park is? These two organizations do not cross reference each other. It turns out that the NP is further down the road that the FS says is closed. :blink: :blink:

Ok, this is what's left of the pages and pages of crossed out stuff. The least snarky of them... Edit away!!!

Hello Everyone!

I'm Rachelle, Tracy's sister. I just wanted to say that you are such an amazing person and I am so thankful to have you in my life. You are the most beautiful bride and I am so happy for you and Dan on this special day. I wish for the two of you a blessed and prosperous life together with all the happiness you deserve and that your love grows each moment so much that you look back on this day many years from now and remember this as the day you loved each other the least.

Lift your glasses and let's toast to the happy couple!

-then maybe I can bust out some Love Actually moves and start a rendition of "All You Need is Love" :rolleyes:

it's all a lie <_<

Some parts are true. right?

- You are her sister.

-Is she an amazing person (remember she could be amzazingly mean or nice)?

-She probably is a beautiful bride unless she's dressed like Elvis.

- It is a special day - not everyday you get to dress up & wear a bridesmaid dress! Thank God!

_ You really do wish all that stuff even if its less likely than winning the Lotto jackpot.

- Toast- you really need a drink after that!

So you see, most of its true. The rest you just have to suck it up to keep the peace and not look like a B#$%h.

My husband had to give a toast once, so he went to a greeting card store and found some Irish proverb. It was a big hit. Hmmmmm.....I saw that paper he wrote it on recently but canna remember where :unsure:

with something like that, you avoid having to get personal.....less likelihood of having to say something through clenched teeth ;)

Yes, all that is true for sure! She's one of the most important women in my life!! That's what makes this so hard! And I really DO wish her the best... And I actually love my bridesmaid dress bc I got to pick out whatever I wanted ;)

Does it sound too cheeseball or anything?

Maybe you can add a joke or something? Or something funny from childhood? Like - her first love was her cat - she said she was going to marry her. I used to say I wasn't going to have kids, I was going to have Kittens.

I would edit the following line: "I wish for the two of you a blessed and prosperous life together with all the happiness you deserve and that your love grows each moment so much that you look back on this day many years from now and remember this as the day you loved each other the least."

And make it MUCH shorter. Even if all that stuff were true the sentence is so long you are likely to slip up trying to say it correctly. And the more fake compliments you add in the more obvious it will be that you are BSing them. One short lie is easier to pull off than a string of lies.

Here are some ideas:

"I wish you both so much happiness in your new life together."

"Here's to the start of you new life together, may it be filled with much joy"

"May your love for one another never die."

"May your love grow deeper each day of your married life together"

"May you have many years of blessing together."

My dad used to say something like, "Adam and Eve had an ideal marriage. He didn't have to hear about all the men she could have married, and she didn't have to hear about how well his mother cooked"....

Annnnnnd..... . .lemme think....."Did you hear about the wife who shot her husband with a bow and arrow because she didn't want to wake the children?"

:lol:

Just, y'know, throw a couple o' those kinds of things in... . . ...being funny hides all sorts of feelings.....

How about... "Remember that time Dan, lol, it was sooo funny, when I heard my son screaming bloody murder and when I ran to see what was going on, there you were on top of his 40# little body-knee in his back, forarm across his neck, screaming at him to be quiet...? Good times"

:blink:

<_<

I would edit the following line: "I wish for the two of you a blessed and prosperous life together with all the happiness you deserve and that your love grows each moment so much that you look back on this day many years from now and remember this as the day you loved each other the least."

Thanks, it's true, total BS line...

mushroom Proficient

Not necessarily. All the love you deserve could be taken other ways...... although it is your sister after all and I suppose if she's married to him you would want him to love her... :blink: at least a little bit ....

      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. 
    • knitty kitty
      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.
