Arghh... so. today marks the 3rd Friday in a row this year I couldn't leave my house, unless in a Humvee...

I live near Boulder, CO, USA, contrary to lots of ideas across the US, we really don't get much snow here. Untill NOW!

The worst part... is I live in a cul-dec-sac(I'll trade it for the one in Knots Landing...)

They only have like one snow plow in this city. There is still snow piles from 2 weeks ago all over on the street. True... I helped make those snow piles, just to try to get cars in the driveway.

So.. 1st snowstorm == cool I will call into work and play hooky.

2nd snowstorm == hmm.. whatever I'll skip again

3rd(today) == Ack! WTF I am getting crazed here. Only so much I can do from home....

A random weather storm is fun, at least, if you are stuck at home(my wife was stuck on the freeway for 13 hours until the National Gaurd came by in a Humvee to help her out...)

But... we have just now had 3 in a row....

At least... I guess I am not one of the rancher's out here who is having thousands of cattle dying because they are stranded....

i am so jealous of you!! you are complaining about a bunch of snowstorms and right now i would give anything to have a few feet of snow on the ground! I live in northern minnesota where we should be getting a bunch of snow storms but this year there is nothing! and its still in the 40's. winter is my favorite time of the year and it sucks that we aren't getting any real winter here yet. i'm sorry that you don't like it. maybe we should switch places for this winter. haha

I wouldn't mind some of your snow! I am in Canada, we are supposed to have tons of snow and ice right now, and it is so warm (the warmest winter in recorded history) that our maple tree in the backyard is actually BLOOMING! So, since I am allergic to maple pollen, my nose is all stuffed up, and this is not supposed to happen until April! I just hope that it won't harm the tree if we will get some cold weather after all.

One of my daughters and her fiance bought ski passes for this winter, but none of the ski hills are open, they can't even make snow, as it's too warm.

And our youngest isn't happy either, because there are no snow days in sight, for her not having to go to school. :rolleyes:

Send your snow here ! We have the worst drought in recorded history affecting most of Australia! Water rationing is in place - gardens are dying.We are not allowed to use water for gardens at all. Farmers have no income. There is barely enough fodder for livestock. Yesterday was 105 F .We are hoping that El Nino finishes this year. As I type we have a howling dust storm. Send snow !!!! :lol:

hope your snow storms stop and give you time to take a breath. Here in NJ it's free of snow and I'm glad (as I do the snow shoveling these days and I am not in the best orthopaedic health to be doing that). I remember one year in around 1977 were we had back to back snow storms and I didn't own a car - had to take 2 buses back and forth to work. The snow was piled up so high on the main street where the bus went that the buses could not get through and had to take detours about a mile further out. That was the morning I while walking to bus stop on a hilly street, slippped and fell under a car that just passed me by in the street; then I managed to get to the bus stop and waited 2 hours for my bus that never came (due to the unannounced detour). I walked back home and was cold to the bone and didn't get into work: and got in trouble for not making it into work.

I see snow as problems only - it makes everything more difficult and expensive. Whenever the winter is snowy, my landlord raises the rent to cover the cost to remove the snow (I know he does have expenses). So I am glad we're frost free. It's going to be almost 70 degrees here today; now that's a little extreme - I'd settle for 45 degrees. As long as there's no freezing rain or snow I am happy.

We only have about 2 1/2 feet of snow on the ground. It's beautiful, having said that, people in Colorado and especially their animals are really in trouble. Beautiful only goes so far. I'm sure they would love to send some both back east and to Austrailia.

I really feel sorry for the cattle and horses in Colorado, I fear the death toll will be high for the ones that are unaccessable. :(

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      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...

      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.

      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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      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."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      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...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

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/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
