Cold and drizzly here. I want to see how much I can trim my budget to save for school, and prepare to live without an income. I usually get all excited about things, and then drop them so striking while the iron's hot.

I have my glasses on. I usually read under them. I looked at this post and the bottom glasses frame was over the "save for school" and I read it as "save for alcohol". :huh:

Either is a worthy cause!

And far easier to stay motivated to achieve!

Happy Thanksgiving, POeter and Jacquie! Here in eastern Ontario we have been breaking records all week, and today will be no exception.... . ....it will be 84 F, with a humidex of 89.. . . ...... . I think I will be putting on the A/C, as the oven will be on through the afternoon... ..:huh:. . . ......And we could very well be eating our Thanksgiving dinner this evening out on our deck, sporting shorts and sundresses.....

No fireplace, no mulled hot cider.. . . . .. ..'tis bizarre, and fantastic... :)B)

A bit cooler here, Em, with expected highs today and tomorrow of 77F. But an extraordinary Thanksgiving weekend! Enjoy!

I might be getting an electric bike. :)

One of the guys on the 6:20 boat is a bicycle commuter so I asked if he had an opinion on electric bikes. He said 'My wife might make you a deal on hers", so they brought it over today for me to try for a while to see if I like it. :)

I want to use it to commute to the boat, since it's only four miles. Getting there is fine, but coming home is all uphill. A bike would be so much nicer than the bus.

Electric bike - my, how sensible!! I might even ride a bike if I had one of those :P

Happy Thanksgiving to fellow commonwealth members - we don't do that, but we do do mid-winter Christmas just for the heckofit (I,of course, am never here).

We are awaiting summer with subtle promises everywhere, cherry blossom and daffs in the garden, but the wind today says, "Wait just a minute there!" Brrr. :lol:

Hellos dear psillies,

This will be a quick one (can't sit at the computer too long). I believe that keeping positive and surrounding myself with loving friends (even if it's via the internet) helps keep me strong.

I'm posting this on the psilly thread because other than being thankful to my doctors I still find it funny. I got a prescription for medical marijuana. I'm looking forward to getting my card and returning to the 60's except it will be legal this time biggrin.gif. At least something good is coming out of this. I was taking up to 8 percocet a day. I rather make magic brownies. Now I have to wait for my card and then find a compassion center. Right now RI has only licensed three. It was supposed to be 15 but the governor wouldn't allow it. I will share with Clark. Will keep you updated on this journey (I try to visualize what the compassion center looks like). Do any of you watch Roseane's Nuts? She has an episode called Weed is Whack and she goes to a center in California to procure it. I'll keep you all posted on my new journey.

I hope you're all doing well. I've been reading the thread and emails so I think I'm caught up on almost everything. Rachelle - you are a GREAT mother!

Love & misses to all, Love, Loey

T'heck with drunken typing, we're gonna get "magic muffin" typing.

Why, yes... .. ....in fact, I just sent an email out to everyone, musing about how we would enjoy it around here if you, Jyessss, could manage to get a script for the stuff.. ..... . . :P

Actually, I imagine that magic muffin typing would not be nearly as exciting nor entertaining as drunken typing. \It'd go something like this:

Well.... . . .......heyyyyyyyyyy.... . . ...

I once tried to figure out if I could create, through genetic manipulation, tomatoes that would produce THC....

First ride to the ferry went fine. Only glitch was parking. The bike barn has 12 ride-up spots, and the people before me had taken all the lower hooks. I tried and tried, but cold not lift that 50 pound bike one handed over my head while guiding the front wheel into the hook. Found some racks down stairs which only required hauling the 50 pound bike up stairs. :blink: :blink: Anyway. Managed to get all the way home despite living at the top of a hill.

We'll see how the thighs feel tomorrow.

I bought a Kindle!

One of the new $80 ones.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with it. :ph34r: :ph34r:

This sounds exciting!!....but am wary.

Do I sound really old fashioned when I say I love the feel & smell of a proper book blink.gif

Do tell, what's an electric bike?? ...pretty sure you could manage a 4 mile commute on your own steam Jess, on a push bike?? (banging the drum - am obsessed with riding my bike where I can. Apologies - am a bike bore wink.gif)

I bought an Ipad and so far all I have figured out to do with it is play Majjong :o I am supposed to be able to operate all AV equipment in the house with it - I guess they have to do something to it first :blink:

No no Shrooms!, I pretty sure iPads are solely for playing 'Angry Birds' .

I also prefer the paper version of books, but I became extremely covetous when I was in Spain and saw a family wandering the cathedral with all their guide books in that one skinny piece of plastic. It's also quite nice for throwing in the backpack for the commute. Pages don't get squooshed, if you finish one book you have another right there, and more and more textbooks are available electronically. No angry birds, though.

Although 'tis only 4 miles to the ferry, it is uphill all the way home, with the last 1 1/4 miles being a slowdown hill for all but the most intense bikers. Even with the power assist I was working hard to get up that thing. I figured I'd work my way up to getting a real bike by using this to build my thighs (as if my thighs need to be any bulkier).

Jyesss the Amazon, powering up Sisyphean mountains!! 'Tis fantastic.. . . ...great quad work, but make SURE to stretch 'em afterward! B)

Must say, I as well have deep, sentimental love for real-page-turning. .. ..ripped and smooshed paperbacks and texts in suitcases.. . .. ...LOOOOOVE that feel of the cover of a new paperback as I open it for the first time, feeling it yield when I push it back, the spine bending.....yup. Tough to make a li'l plastic screen open up.. . . ....and it ain't got no spine.. . ...

When will I move ahead with the times?? :rolleyes:

Anyhoo - who's up for tea and 'cake' round Loey's later?? wink.gifwink.gif

I'll bring extra gluten-free munchies!!

      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.
