Well sills, gotta go get my haircut - new, very cute and small salon so close to my house.......thought I'd give it a try.

Got tired of me overgrown locks a while back and took a pair o' scissors to it. Been in a state of limbo tryin to decide what I want done. Curly locks are gone.....need a new perm. How curly?.....How short?........can nae decide. Gotta do sumphim to perk up this old drawn phace.

Tel update:

Still steadfastly refusing to go to the hosp <_< , but swelling has down a tad.

Maybe it has more to do with his arthritis ?? :unsure: ...... he has had to come off all arthritis meds for a month as docs think it maybe is causing low platelets - GAAAWD - he can't even take ibuprofen for the sweeling (stomach ish-yooz :rolleyes: )

Anyhoo - I've given him a deadline of Monday

If he still can't use it by then I will kidnap him & take him to the hosp :lol:

Nik.........if he heard it snap........it's broke, plain and simple. Several years ago I stepped wrong goin down the stairs and heard my foot *snap*. Didn't hurt all that much, but I knew sumphin wasn't right. I broke it but good. Almost had to have pins put in.

Seriously, Nik, make him go to the doctor anyway. That sort of thing can hurt for years after it heals, if it doesn't set properly.

I hear voices like the plant in the little house of horrors...."FEEEEEEED MEEEEEE!"

hee! I can so picture this :lol:

Oooohhhh...........sounds like some big tools, there :P

Love a big tool ;)

Yep, I heard the pop when my toe broke . . . I can now predict the weather wif me toe!!

Ditto. Ran into a chair wif me baby toe and broke it good. I could feel it when it was going to rain for over a year <_<

Tired. Puffy. Bloated. Irritated <_<

My grey hair isn't like just one strand here or there. It seems to be infiltrating my entire left temple and just fading to a blackish-silver :o

Do you know what happens to blondes when they go grey? Their hair looks dirty...all the time.

I have also found some white hairs in me brows and on me chin :angry:

Mimmsy is not pleased <_<

I got my dad's eyebrows, look something like this Open Original Shared Link .

They go grey by growing in brown, then switching to grey, so I've got a grey streak through my brown brow, and a thick brown hair sticking up on top.

Absolutely lovely. <_<

Me youngest sister who's only 45 is thinning out quite a bit already--middle sis has thick hair, and I'm somewhere in the middle although I have roughly half the volume I had at 20. If I can keep what I got, I'll be happy. :rolleyes:

I've been seeing grey/white/silver hairs since my 20's. My dad was salt and pepper in his twenties, so at least I didn't have to deal with that. My sisters all have beautiful hair....dark with the silver sprinkeled in like sparkels or sumfin, then going to the salt n pepper look. Buttt, my hair is not beautiful and I don't really care. Can't decide what to do with it, so it's growing long by default.

Kurley Leezah....I have been cutting my own for years. When I have gone somewhere to have it done...I inevitably end up coming home and "fixing" it anyway (with scissors). My telehubby loves white hair...always pointing out women who have beautiful white locks......there's hope for me yet!

Day started out sunny....now very dark and gloomy.....the bad part is the cold wind! It's summer, for crying out loud....whats with the *%&@!! KOLD!!! Can't deal with this.....but I need to go outside to play anyway. Will I be the only person in the county, state, country wearing a heavy sweatshirt today? :ph34r: Probably.

Leezah! SOOO glad to see you here. Hope things get better for you...soon. BTW.....telehubby had taken a year of retirement before we moved here. Was home aaalllll the time. We both just did whatever.....didn't worry about what the other was doing. We planned our together time...otherwise our time was our own, to do as we pleased/needed/whatever. Maybe you just need a plan and take control of your own time. It's not that you don't love yer hubby.....you just need your own space (don't we all?)

Keep it shiny.....

Gosh, this quiet here today.

After a miserable, wet, rainy, wet, soggy, wet, day yesterday, today is warm (but not hot) and sunny.

=^..^=

I'm working a rare Sunday at the shop. I think it has been a year since that last happened.

Unless something unexpected happens, City of Toronto civic workers employees will go on strike in less than 11 hours. Those at the liquor store have two more days before they walk out. I stocked up yesterday. ;)

Hi Linnie--allow me to welcome you into sillieville, old and decrepit though I may be :P

Enjoy yerselph.....oh--we tend to spell pho-net-ic-ly. No idea why. One more thing--Emily is harmless. :)

Darn it all, I just did a long poop-in and pooped it up. Poopy cow!

Part Drei:

Anyway, part of what I was saying before, I think, :unsure: was that...

Dis place is overflowing with wine (or whine), peaches and nectarines, strawberries and melons (wot, no cherries??) phleazy or non-phleazy kittehs, grey hair, permed hair, butchered hair, red hair and white, greysilver hair, phrizzy hair, hairless heads and hamster brows.

It is full of weather that is too hot, cold, dry, wet, gloomy, windy, thunderous or humid, but nevah just right.

On the other hand, it also contains beauteous posts from Theresa and Patti--good advice from T and yearning from PadT (although I do think I would look a bit ridiculous up a tree reading a book (my recliner suits me better :P ) and it is hard to find some lush lonely grass in which to lie and daydream. Still, it is the spirit of the thing she was referring to after all, because I think we all basically remain children all our lives, certainly not that hag that peers at us out of the mirror :o Can't wait for the weather (sigh, here we go again) to warm up so I can take my book and chair down to the beach.

Tel's wrist may or may not be broken (hope we hear soon). I once was sure I had broken my ankle it snapped so loudly when I was running like a free spirit (trying to follow PadT's advice :lol: ) down a hill., (yeah, this was a few years ago :o ). But I plunged it in a stream running straight off a glacier until just before frostbite, wrapped an ace bandage on it, and a week later we walked the Milford Track. Of course I sprained it again real good when we were over the summit and coming down the other side, and it's never been the same since, but then again it wasn't much good before that. Haha.

Can't remember what else I said; problly wasn't worth reading anyways. Hope this feeble attempt makes up for the too-quick poop-in the other day. Still looking for me psilly--where can it be??? :unsure:

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

Padt, would you stop telling people Em is harmless? You're gonna damage her reputation.....

:D :D :D

I'm off to bed (yes, at 7:30pm), le boyfriend gets up at 2am on Mondays. I get an extra hour of sleep, ZERO griping here!!!! G'mite.

Don't you believe it. If you don't watch out she sneaks up behind and bites you :o Haha, I can say that because she's on vacation and can't reach me (yet) :lol:

Oh yeah! Chugging her wine before the liquor worker employee strike.

sounds like a good plan, even without the strike.

Some day I'll day you my story of spending the night with German lesbians while stuck in Bologna during an Italian train strike.

OMG--what a great rundown of the sillieville musings of late! :D I now read in a chair too, Shroomie--many things that worked at 10 don't seem to work now :lol: Hope yer sillie reappears :)

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

And that's just the sort of thing we admire here :P

I'm not sure where she is at the moment, but she was heading for the Toronto Islands. You can only get there by boat, and the ferry is going on strike in 3 hours along with the rest of the city staff. There are private water taxis.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
