Morning, All!

Hey, Amanda!! We have another early riser with us now! Good morning, JacquIe!

Good Morning fellow sillies. Yes I'm an early riser. The four legged fur kids usually don't allow me to sleep in on a day when I don't have to get up for that 4 letter word that we all dread doing. But I do enjoy going into that 4 letter word as it is fun when you get to be your own boss :)

Amanda sorry to hear you went into work, sorry that 4 letter word that we dread going to, on what was sounding like a sure fire snow day for you. I hope traffic was not to much of a problem for you.

Well we will be going into that 4 letter word that most people dread going into early today as we are leaving our new employee on her own to open for us. I hope everyone has a very silly day :)

BTW David Beckham in a speedo. Dread the thought! :lol:

I see POeter and JacquIe have checked in :D

Mornin sillies--yes, slow AM....I feel like crapola :angry: Nothing serious, just a yucky head cold. Caught it from Mark, who brought it home from the 4 letter word. <_<:P Sore throat and achiness enough to warrent Tylenol.

Like Amanda, we had snow here overnight--2-3 inches. It's subsided for now, but more is predicted for later this afternoon along with freezing rain.

I don't think you should say size=1 and Schwing in the same sentence (TMIA? Too Much Incidental Amusement?)

:lol:

YJust one of the many times my grandpa was instrumental in my edification. I'm only now beginning to realize how thankful I am for all of the "crazy" things he wanted us to learn about and more importantly appreciate. :wub:

:) he sounds wonderful........

Hmm, no we don't currently sell penis slings in the store. :o

Well then, is this not something you should consider? I mean, you really COULD have the market cornered on this....... :P

Another quiet morning in Sillyville. Maybe everybody is just dog tired from all the excitement this week.

:ph34r: oh you have nooOOOooOOOooooOoooo idea................ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW David Beckham in a speedo. Dread the thought! :lol:

Have to say, I rather enjoyed it. Why, though, was he, um, "slinging" his package? :lol:

Sillies I am wayyyyyyyyyyy too tired. Too much giddiness and not enough sleep.

But I'm not complainin'................... B)

Patti sorry about your evil cold and that Mark brought it to you from that VERY bad four-letter word place..... :angry:

more later.............

OMG - did anyone watch LOST last night? I did declare last night, about halfway through, that I am well and officially DONE and BROKEN UP wif dat show. I could not guarantee, however, that I wouldn't peek from time to time........but.........what in hell? :blink: I decided that it was an incredibly useless hour of my life - -- pure and utter confusion with no pleasure whatsoever any longer........... :lol:

What the heck happened to my last post? :unsure: That is one bad quote job! :P

Anyway.......I did watch Lost last night, and I actually followed it better than last week. That twist at the end with Kate was a shocker, though. I'm hanging on, but it just better be one hell of a payoff at the end. This show is work to follow :lol:

You must have needed the sleep :)

I thought you worked late yesterday so you didn't have to go in today? They just called a snow emergency in our area....the snow has stopped for now, though.

Patti!!! Stop saying four-letter words! <_<

I have a short story for you all regarding DS's walk home from school yesterday. I am now finding it, for some reason, quite amusing...

Jack's got about a half-mile to walk, so yesterday he's all bundled up...parka, snow pants, hat and mitts. He leaves the school and starts off. Suddenly, he feels his nose start to run. Takes off a mitt and wipes it--it's a nosebleed.

So, he tells me that he immediately thought about returning to the school, but then decided that this would be a bad move because he'd get blood all over the floor, and "desks, and books and stuff" (this is my pragmatic young boy)....so, he continues to walk quickly, wiping his nose. Well, it begins pouring out. So he whips his hat off and holds it there. He begins running. There is blood pouring out, all over the snow, like a large red trail. He's streaking along, blood all down his coat. Cars begin to slow down. He manages to wave and smile a little, and continue running.

WELL..........He comes in the front door. I happen to be standing there. He's got dry and wet blood ALL OVER his face, all down the front of his jacket, mitts and hat. I scream. :o:o:o

We are laughing about this now, and Jack asked that I tell you guys this story. Soon he'll be gettin' a username, I tell you......

OMGawd--the poor thing :( I felt so bad for Jack as I was reading the story--but you know....such a thoughtful, level-headed young man to think the situation through and do what he felt was best. :)

Emily--I would have screamed too if one of my boys had come home from school all bloodied! I'm sure that was quite a shock at the time. Glad he's ok and you guys got a laugh out of it :D

PS--I keep meaning to tell you how much I love your kid's names :)

I think it's the international winter 'season' for young boys to have nose bleeds :blink: ..........my 13 yr old burst in the other day hands cupped under his nose shouting ''MUM!!!!!!...NOSEBLEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''.....dripped it everywhere whilst I shouted at him to get to the bathroom

I must admit ....my first thought was that he'd got into a fight :rolleyes: (got a real short fuse that boy!)

:unsure: - he's had several the last few days and BOY does that blood go a long way <_<

Terry has man flu ....is of course dying :rolleyes: as I try to keep him (and his germs) at arms length!!!! :lol:

OK Susie, now that the race is over, here is the return of the av that you missed.

I also feel compelled to mention, that I was somewhat . . . what's the right word . . . relieved to see a pic of David and Annie in your av. Now we know you & David didn't pull an Emily and use the photo from a new picure frame for his personal photo in his profile.

Well, now....Perhaps all these pics of my dad have been just that....out of new photo frames from Walmart. Not my dad at all, just some New-Frame-Head-Model. Mygawd....I would be SO buying those frames... :lol::lol:

Y'know, I wonder about all those discard pics I've put in those Walmart frames, of my forehead, or of the floor....who, if anyone, has bought those frames? Have they kept my pics? Maybe I'll start a revolution, where people see these frames, get what I've done, and begin to place their own crappy photos in store frames. These frame departments could become like exhibits...... :lol:

I can picture it now . . . Emily is shopping in the frame department. Over the loud speaker all the customers hear . . . Code 52 in the frame department . . . security rushes to the find Emily swapping photos . . . "Lady, how many times do we have to tell you? You can't keep comin' in here and dumpin' your lousy pictures in our new frames. The other customers won't buy the frame once you've put a picture of your toenail in it."

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
