OK. It's Sat morn and I'm not awake yet. The only glasses I can find slide off my face when I look down. I am computer (almost) illiterate. And you want me to go to page 1512. How do you do that? One page at a time? Does this silver man have anything to do with a garage in Washington left perhaps by a man in a trenchcoat who refers to himself lovingly as Deep Throat? If not, Please instruct. I had a grin on my face yesterday - could that be the beginning of an attack of funny?

It certainly could--we tend to have that effect on people :D

To get to a certain page, look to the bottom left of your screen and you'll see a box that says "2267 pages" (the page we're currently on). Click on the dropdown in the box and you can just type in the page you want. :)

And you want me to go to page 1512. How do you do that?

At the top (or bottom) of the page on the right, the current page count is shown. To the right of it is a triangle pointing down. Click the triangle, and a window will open where you can type in the page number to which you wish to go.

Well, I learned something new. After reading about him for 4 pages, I feel like I know him. And I already miss him terribly. Where can I get my own Sam Hill Manhead? My Dh doesn't have a parking garage where he works (the barbarian) and, besides, what are the chances of that happening twice? Seriously, I need someone to walk with. I could put him in a little wagon - he could protect me from the wild dogs that roam the area. And all the young girls in the nieghborhood would secretly think of me as a cougar (which I am). And the money I would save if I saw a shrink! I could just talk to him! Is he silli? Is it too soon to be thinking about the "L" word?

I woke up Mark :P who tried to swat it with a rolled up newspaper, but only succeeded in knocking it to the floor--where it ran under the bed. Then it just disappeared :huh:

Dear gawd........ .. . . ..this would NOT be good fer me, either.... . . ...and imagine Soooozle? Methinks she would be awake ALL night. .. .. .. :lol:

Our Ranger is digging up some silly, yet Jyesss seems down a quart.

Eat, and things will be all better. This, unfortunately, seems true for EVERY situation. <_<

We go and get J3 tomorrow morning.....haven't seen him in two weeks. Bet he's taller (even standing legitimately)..... . . He is growing SO quickly right now...

J3 = my son Jack, called such as he is the third-tallest in the group of J-named boys in his camp cabin.....but the glitch was, the way he was standing while being measured was, well, . . . . .....actually, you can find my account about seven or eight pages back, now that you know how to search, and of course you have nothing better to do than read my past ramblings. ..... ...... :rolleyes::lol:

Ranger Soooozun! Yes, I hear you on the immediate connection, the magic one feels upon first encountering SHM. Jus' somethin' about him. . ........and you're right, the chances of it happening twice - - something of this calibre, slim to none.

I think we need every Psilly to put up their avatars in which he has appeared, so that you can really get a sense of exactly how much he has infiltrated our lives. My pic is stored in my other computer, so I will get onto it next post and put it up.

Since my kitchen is in disarray, my dryer is also not hooked up so I've been line drying. I switched out my sheets and made a discovery - flannel is not meant to be baked dry on a clothes line. It was like sleeping between sheets of sandpaper.

On the up side, I figure this whole body exfoliation woulda cost me a fortune at a spa. :mellow:

Gah! Well, we must recruit Jyaghnutt, the creator of most of these amazing pictoral accounts of Sam's whereabouts. Hopefully she kept copies of the ones she made.....

JAHNUTTTT!

I did read about that. Maybe next time they measure, you could put Sam Hill Manhead on his head and maybe they won't notice a kid with a head on his head and measure him taller. I think I' getting fixated. Seiously, it's rough being 13.

Does he take the heighth thing seriously, or does it not bother him?

HEY! We never thought of that as a practical use for SHM! For those guys who are short and want to appear considerably taller........he could be an extender! Put him on yer head, wrap yer shirt around yer real head and neck........VOILA.

The bonus: He has a much better-looking face than many short blokes I know.. . .. ..

Okay, Soooozun and Shroomie! Head back to page 1512 - - mid-November 2008 - - the sudden introduction of Sam Hill Manhead into our lives. . . .......

:lol:

Reading it again, I remain fascinated in where he came from..... . . ....why he was there, right when DH was unlocking his car.... . . . ....what does it meeeeeeean?

..

The appearance of Sam Hill Manhead is mysterious indeed, and never has so much care been put into selecting an appropriate name :lol: Do ya think some woman who didn't appreciate what she had knocked 'im off 'is pedestal?? :lol: Her loss, our gain! Thanks for digging that out, Em. It plugged some other gaps too!

Last night just as I was going to sleep, I turned and saw the biggest black bug on the wall, up near the ceiling :o I woke up Mark :P who tried to swat it with a rolled up newspaper, but only succeeded in knocking it to the floor--where it ran under the bed. Then it just disappeared :huh:

Oh man, I can so relate to that one. As a certified arachnophobic, as a teenager I snuck in after curfew to find this humongous spider on the wall above my bed. Plucked up my courage and took a thwack at it and lost it!! It fell between my bed and the wall (onto very dark stained wood) and vanished. I could nae ask for any assistance, so after searching all the bedclothes I quietly slid the bed out into the middle of the room, lifted all bedclothes clear of the floor, and laid awake in terror all night. Never did see the bugger again.

UNLIKE the spider I found in my friend's guest bed. Thwacked at that one and lost it too, and just had a feeling that I had nae seen the last of it. Fortunately I had been a little dephobia-ized by then so that when it reappeared I did not die like I might have before. Took a sweater out of a dresser drawer and put it on; little while later I scratched a tickle on my arm, but it did not go away. Premonition hit and I walked (did NOT run, but uncalmly) into the bedroom and pulled the sweater off inside out and THERE HE WAS. I made sure I despatched him that time.

To get to a certain page, look to the bottom left of your screen and you'll see a box that says "2267 pages" (the page we're currently on). Click on the dropdown in the box and you can just type in the page you want. :)

Now I knew that, one of the few things I do know so I had to tell ya. :D

Since my kitchen is in disarray, my dryer is also not hooked up so I've been line drying. I switched out my sheets and made a discovery - flannel is not meant to be baked dry on a clothes line. It was like sleeping between sheets of sandpaper.

I do believe you have just discovered why Nickerler is always ironing :lol: :lol: Ya gotta iron out the sandpaper!

OMG........ . . . :lol: I remember this.... . .... how he was staring lovingly, possessively at you, Patteigh....we all commented on this. . . . .

Ah that chiselled chin, that straight nose, that loving gaze...whatta guy! Pity he does not have the appropriate appendages!! :P

Good lord Em, why did ya give 'im away??

Amanda has a Maine Coon too!!! Aren't they just the greatest, and yes, they do lick you like a dog, make you a member of the Maine Coon tribe. Miss Em does not walk on the keyboard; she lies beside the computer, always likes to be close, but parks right in front of the screen so you can't see a thing (yeah, 15 lbs plus and takes up the whole screen) when she wants something (like dinner :lol: ) She's bossy too; herds us around when she thinks it's time for us to go to bed. Yeah, I'm missing her!

Damn, I had this post all planned out and then Clay insisted he had to use THIS computer for IMPORTANT business (like psillies are unimportant :o ) and everything has gone out of my pea brain. Oh well, there wasn't a lot in there anyway....

Why do we have to get cold when you gets cold, Soozle? It's not going to get above 70 all day today in the glorious Sierra Nevada :( And just when the smoke cleared from the NorCal fires too. Why does California have to blow everything in our direction??

Sorry about your 'puter woes :(

Yeah, isn't Soozun a kick in the pants!! I's going to have to find more psilly.

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:

      It’s true that some vaccines contain small amounts of preservatives, stabilizers, or adjuvants to ensure their safety and effectiveness. For example: Thimerosal: A preservative that contains ethylmercury (not to be confused with methylmercury, which is toxic). Most routine vaccines no longer contain thimerosal, except for some flu vaccines in multi-dose vials. Aluminum: Used in very small amounts as an adjuvant to boost the immune response. The amount is far below levels considered harmful, but if you suspect an aluminum allergy, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. Sugar alcohols: These are sometimes used as stabilizers, but they are generally well-tolerated. If you have a known intolerance, you can ask about specific ingredients in each vaccine. Since you mentioned an intolerance to metals and jewelry, it’s a good idea to follow up with allergy testing, as you planned. This can help identify specific metals (e.g., nickel, aluminum) to avoid. Your doctor can then guide you on whether any vaccine ingredients might be a concern. Since the Mayo Clinic has already identified potential allergies, it might be helpful to consult an allergist or immunologist. They can review your medical history, perform tests, and provide personalized advice on vaccines and their ingredients. While it’s important to address your intolerances, it’s also worth considering the risks of not being vaccinated. Many vaccine-preventable diseases can have serious consequences, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.
