Uh-oh!! Only 12(?) posts from a new Queen????

W/ all the royal confusion stemming of hijacked mullets, I'm recusing myself again. As last clearcut undisputed royalty, it'd seem like back-to-back.

Gotta give someone else a chance to rule!!!!

(Susie misses out on this edition of Royal Roulette?)

Mygawd.....page 899.....:excitedadrenlinface:

Where is Susie? We need to hear about her weekend....

Jack gets the Advocacy Award for the Month. (bronze chin socks) :rolleyes: . Congratulations.

Good to hear the dizziness is fading.

Hope THAT trend continues. :)

I think Pseuzee might still be in the mountains - hence no shot at Queendom.

The pressure!!!! The responsibility!!!! . . . I can't take it!!! . . . I don't want it!!!! (Did I tell you that they asked me to be vice pres of the PTO which means you are automatically Pres the next year? . . . turned that one down, too.) This is probably the last you'll hear of me until a Queen/King has been crowned!!!

Sillies- bad news to report. Remember when I told you about my coworker Susan and her CT Scan and her kidney....she has cancer....she broke it to me a few minutes ago....

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Sorry got kicked off....

She will probably not need chemo but they are going to take her kidney away....So she will be in the hospital and have surgery....such an emotional time and a scary time....

Please send her your prayers and thoughts...it would mean a lot to me.

I'm back from running errands, and it is so nice here that I'm sitting out on the deck (accompanied by four feline friends). :)

Ridgewalker Contributor

Amanda, so sorry to hear about your co-worker! :( Will be sending positive thoughts her way...

All hail King Peter the Oracle!

Hey... we should all have cool nick names like that when we get the crown.

The board is acting funny for me too.

So sorry about your friend's news Amanda, she will be in my thoughts for sure.

Sounds like a nice way to spend an afternoon Peter :)

Congrats Peter youre the new King!

tom Contributor

:( aw Amanda .. ..sorry about your coworker :(

But I must shift gears & hail the new King!!

Way to swoooooooop in Peter!

(I was sure it'd be a Queen :blink: )

That's right! (knocking myself on the side of the head)--Yes, the whole Kissey clan will love our Susie :D

Patti-hope youre feeling better....

Susie!!! Dying for details on the Kissey weekend at the cabin!

I'm feeling much better today Amanda--thanks! :) I'm with ya on eagerly awaiting the details of Susie's weekend ;)

How did the red chairs turn out?? :D

Gawd! :rolleyes: They are going to look so cute--but only one is completely done. They were black--and are taking numerous coats of the red paint--but it's gonna be so worth it. (there are 4 total)

What .. ..no Mad Dash to Ascension this time????

Is it that time again already?????

Sillies- bad news to report. Remember when I told you about my coworker Susan and her CT Scan and her kidney....she has cancer....she broke it to me a few minutes ago....

Oh Amanda--I'm so sorry to hear this. I will send a prayer and lot of positive thought her way. I read in your next post how she will lose her kidney. I want you to know that my MIL lost one of her kidneys close to 20 years ago, and is still going strong at 89! She says one feels no different than 2, really. That always surprised me for some reason.

I'm back from running errands, and it is so nice here that I'm sitting out on the deck (accompanied by four feline friends). :)

Congratulations Peter--I see you're celebrating outdoors with your kitties :P

(I was sure it'd be a Queen :blink: )

Yeah--what are the odds? :lol:

Glorious weather on this 'May day' bank holiday (dunno why we call it 'bank' holiday)

Good to see you oot and aboot :D (a nod to our Canadian buddies) ;)

:huh: Oot & aboot???

Sounds like a nod to our Scottish friends .......wait :unsure:what Scottish friends???

Sorry got kicked off....

Amanda, I am so sorry to hear about your coworker. But Patti's right - - living with a single kidney is done successfully by SO many people! My thoughts are with you guys......

I'm back from running errands, and it is so nice here that I'm sitting out on the deck (accompanied by four feline friends). :)

YAAAAYYYY!!! King Peter the Oracle....it has a stately, winning ring to it. And yes, did you ever swoooooop in here! A fellow Canuck on the throne for a while - - terrific. Peter, could you see about decreasing the GST by another per centage or two? And how about bringing our boys home from Afghanistan while you're at it?........Gee, this is a big job.... think I'll reconsider before scrambling for the flipover next time....

:lol::lol:

I have no doubt they are going to be the cutest little darndest chairs in all the land :lol:

I hear you on the red, did you put a coat of primer on top of the black? That might cut down the red coats to 2, but red is one of those colors where more than one coat is a must to get it right <_<

Glorious weather on this 'May day' bank holiday (dunno why we call it 'bank' holiday)

Hmmm, another one of life's little mysteries.

Is it because the banks are closed on this glorious May Day holiday?? That might be too easy a reason though......

Yes Emily, if you loved A Mighty Wind and Best In Show you must see For Your Consideration. Pretty much same cast, or core cast, same humor.

They are kind of poking fun at Hollywood, the movie making "business", celebrity...........it's just great!!

No.... well.... because that would have been the smart thing to do! :lol: I just dove right in with the paint! They just looked so serious before--now just darned cute :D

SILLEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!! Um, had to sleep until - get this - noon today to recover. :ph34r: Yes, the luxury of being single and childless. Don't tell Kissey though, he doesn't seem to have these recovery needs - up and at'em bright and early - makes me furious. :huh:

and all hail Oracle King Peter!!!!!!!!!!!! we have a man-king!!!!!!!! :lol:

a few things - but not much time here. I will be picked up in 2.5 hours for a dinner out, for Cinco de Mayo. Alas, we are going to a very American :huh: restaurant, w/ two other couples.

Janet, love your avatar. We could all use a little more cow bell in our lives

:lol: meant to comment on this also - look at Will Ferell's nutty expression - cracks me up

After the finish line, a horse broke 2 ankles and had to be put down. :(

:(:(:( I saw this late last night in Sunday's paper - had no idea about this - - threw the paper to the ground and could not continue reading. I am devastated over this.....

but good news on Em's tree and the hugging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Em - also LURVE your frame of smileys and your emoticon tree - - gawd - - but the Chortle Chain was best of all :lol:

and OMG! OMG! Jack's letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! absolutely phantastic........am sending the link to my "real" friends.........

.. ..wait! .. ..wait! . .. . ..ask 'er whether the chinfeet would ALSO require the cleats or suctiony sucker-thingies"

:lol: another sentence to puzzle and terrify the newbies

yawn- will sleep eat and watch movies. Wait- isn't that all I do anyway?

one day, that part of your life will all be over, and you'll be off-piste on the slopes........ :)

As soon as she puts it up on her blog, I'll post the link!

OMG - that cheesecake - - PURE EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

part two coming up

DingoGirl Enthusiast
I watched For Your Consideration on cable, it was hysterical. Same cast of actors and etc as Best In Show and A Mighty Wind.

OMG - haven't seen this one but Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman many times - - so freaking hilarious - will rent this one also.

Gotta give someone else a chance to rule!!!!

(Susie misses out on this edition of Royal Roulette?)

OMG, I've never been Queen - - must stay in town next time for an important turnover!!!!!!!!! I have GOT to win - - am goign to put it on my resume :lol:

Mygawd.....page 899.....:excitedadrenlinface:

Where is Susie? We need to hear about her weekend....

I"M back!!!!!!!!! Met nearly all of Kissey's kin........including 92-y-old grandmother and her BOYFRIEND - they could not have been cuter and more dapper, quite attractively dressed and coiffed also. They met in their retirement home.....she is the grandmother who owns the property.

I think the parents liked me - that was their report to David anyway. *phew* :)

we had such a blast - - but I am soooooooooooo tired. Four-hour drive, the last 45 on completely unpaved, deeply-rutted single-lane road......Annie fell flat on her face so many times on that drive. Poor little Boo. :lol: Eveyrthing in the car was topsy-turvy by the time we got in - David exclaims - "who did this to all the stuff?" Um........YOU did, whilst you were driving like a bat-out-of-hell, was our reply. :lol: Kissey believes that you take the horrible road as fast as you can, rather than slowly, likening it to ripping off a bandaid. Good thing I am in agreement on this.

LOVE yer spellin', Patti....That version of "Tom" just looks unpronounceable to me....

Foe-gaum?

:lol: :lol:

Foe-gaum! His new name!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I know that Emily and Patti saw this under Emily's topic in publications . . . just wanted to make sure all the sillies saw it. I haven't seen her here lately, but apparently, Lisa is still following along!!

OMG - an absolute scream, that Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: What must other people think, reading that.... *snort* :lol: :lol:

Sillies- bad news to report. Remember when I told you about my coworker Susan and her CT Scan and her kidney....she has cancer....she broke it to me a few minutes ago....

Amanda - so sorry about this. But, as others have said, it is quite possible to live well w/ one kidney - one of my best friends, Sophie, donated her kidney to her brother.......quite something.

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still in recovery from the weekend. And tonight we are out and tomorrow - a Michael Buble concert (about which I don't care a whit, but may still go).

I have poison oak covering my torso :blink: and on legs and arms.

Slept just a few hours in teh tent. Had a complete laughing attack w/ Kissey in tent that night - - apparently when we are in places where we must be quiet and behave, we fall apart. :lol: :lol:

Last Chance was paradise.......probably about 20 of us there, many kids, and friends helping w/ constuction, doing manly things w/ their chainsaws and generator-powered wood-chippers, splitters, and other things. Quite a special place, and there's talk of the property being sold. :( very sad for the Kissey family......

Okay................must try and be productive now.

BTW I am just out of my mind that The Ripper wanted to tell the sillies of his publishing feat before Grandma was told............what a hoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

back later

Now, more about this lovely female standard poodle I've been pining for...I have spoken with the owner, and boy, does this sound like a beautiful dog. DH is really not on board for another dog....so I'm gonna speak with him again. We'll see.....

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    
    • Theresa2407
      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
    • Hmart
      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
