OH, ok. I know the show you are talking about, with the actress who played the daughter on 8 Simple Rules and that guy that was on Roseanne. I just didn't know the name of the show, looks cute :)

Yep--that's it. :) Mindless, but funny, nonetheless :lol:

Yes, they should be announcing the new contestants for DWTS any day now--I remember hearing Donny Osmond say he had been asked.

Big Bang is on right before Two and a Half Men--it's about geeks who live ascoss the hall from a cute, perky, but kinda dumb blonde. The geeks are so OC that it just makes me laugh.

:lol: OMG I LOVE that show! very, very silly and VERY OCD geeks.....quite clever. Makes me guffaw out loud, the couple of times I"ve seen it....

I am also a big fan of the nerd show!! haha I LOVE IT!! Sheldon has MAJOR ocd, cracks me up. I find myself laughing out loud at every episode of that show. VERY funny.

American Idol is the current saving grace. It is also pretty funny right now with all the bad singers.....gotta laugh at those.

Thank Goodness Antiques Roadshow is not in re-runs! ha (does that make me a nerd that I watch that show, I LOVE IT).

Hey guys, I'm an actor in NYC and this strike is effecting everyone. One of the big issues is the web. They are posting tv shows on the web and they aren't really monitored so they don't get their residual. That totally sucks for them! Basically there is NO pilot season so there won't be very many new shows in the Fall. That's going to suck too. As for us actors in NYC it's getting crazy! All the LA talent is relocating to NYC for theater and the auditions are packed and horrendous, that makes less job opportunities for us live theater actors. I do feel that in the long run this will be for the better of the writer. It's going to be a LONG while before this clears up.

Not to mention the stage hand local one IATSE strike we had in late November hurt/helped the industry. Also, FYI Actors Equity, the stage acting unions Production Contract (that's 98% of the Broadway shows contract) ends this summer. I'm on the sub negotiating committee and it's already getting ugly for us too. The writers strike is hitting hard for agents too, they don't get their commission on tv shows (and it's a LOT) and then Broadway strikes....and I wouldn't be surprised if it strikes again...so watch out! Things I think, are going to get uglier!

Well I was hoping it would get resolved quickly, but after all you said it sounds like it's a lot more complicated.

Last night I gave Cashmere Mafia a try :lol:

melrobsings Contributor

The writers are waiting for all the shows to run out of new episodes and the public will get mad and they hope that will put more presure on the Producers League.....the Producers are sort of waiting for the same thing...I think it's gunna be a few more months.

I miss Greys and Private Practice bad too!!!!! The reruns and reality shows are wearing me out too!!!!

Green12 Enthusiast

I am so happy tonight!

Okay, can someone who gets Ugly Betty please explain it to me? LOL I mean, every time I try to watch it, I just kind of sit there like this :blink:

Why do people like this show? LOL I mean, it must be great, because people rave about it, but I don't get it... :huh:

I think if you haven't watched it, or have no idea about the characters and intertwining storylines, it would be confusing to jump in on it now.

I just love it, it's super cute, has a really good message with what the main character Betty is a representation of, and the characters are all so quirky.

It's also soap opera-ish crazy, and funny, and in parts dramatic. It's just a fun imo.

Ok how I see Ugly Betty

In the scheme of things Betty is the "good guy", unsullied, salt of the earth, honest, loyal, intelligent, good-hearted, ambitious but not to point of cut-throat; she has no guile, can be gullible, has a positive attitude; not shallow but deep

and, she's "swimming" with the sharks in the fashion magazine industry. Those in the "business" are her mirror opposites and she is desperately trying to fit like a square peg in a round hole. Her boss is a newbie at what he is doing, and behind the scenes the other magazine characters are scheming to take over, undermine her and her boss. Most times Betty is just floating amongst all these strong personalities trying to do what's right, trying to keep afloat, trying to stay alive, and basically trying to keep her boss to focus on running the magazine. She oftentimes is the reason he is successful. Her family is quirkly: a nephew who knows he wants to be in fashion industry and can rattle off names of models and designers as if he's been in the fashion industry all his adult life (hey he's a teen!); her father is a wonderful man who wants his family to be happy & healthy; her sister is an air-head who sometimes gets in Betty's way of achieving her goals in life. The sister needs a crash-course in "self-reliance" . The sister has always relied on her physical looks her whole life, while Betty was short-changed in the physical beauty dept. and has always relied on her brain. The sister's have a love-hate dynamic: the beautiful older sister - who has achieved nothing during her existence is jealous of Betty's education and career and she's always trying to compete with Betty for the father's love. The father loves his two daughters equally and you can tell he misses his deceased wife. Betty takes care of things on the homefront in the same qualified manner as she does at work. But there too things spiral out of her control.

Betty is a symbol of the spirit of achievers who do not get recognition in life; who hum through "making things happen" while others get the credit and monetary compensation for it. She's the underdog: the everyman.

Wow. I think I'll have to start watching this show now :)

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Ugly Betty is a very cute show.......Betty is quite a likable character. Quirky and fun. Did anybody mention that it's a show that is shown in various versions around the world? All of them, I believe, based on Mexico's Le Fea Mas Bella. It's taken off in popularity all over the place.

Yes! Writers' strike making progress! This pleases me the most as the Oscars can now air, with writers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: I never miss the Oscars. :)

And now.......I've gotten sucked into Lost.......what in hell is going on in that show. :lol:

I saw the report that it was over too, YAY!!!!!!

But what does it all mean? When will our shows return? They have to write all the remaining eps of the season yet, and then shoot them, don't they? How long will that take?

We need our forum actress to shed some light...Melrobsings, where are you?!?!?!

They were talking about it on the radio show I was listening to this morning. Sounds like most shows are coming back in April or May.

So I guess today it is OFFICIALLY over!!

I found this info:

CBS and NBC have announced the return of many of their scripted series as TV production resumed Wednesday following a three-month writers strike.

CBS' "How I Met Your Mother," "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory" will return with new episodes March 17. Producers will make nine new episodes of each before the season ends.

"CSI: Miami" and "Cold Case" will return in late March. Others are set for early April returns, including "CSI" on April 3

NBC announced that original episodes of several of its series will return in April, beginning with "My Name is Earl" on April 3, and, a week later, "30 Rock," "The Office," "Scrubs" and "ER."

      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 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/

      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.

      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."  
    • Scott Adams
      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.
