. .. and then whether the people who use sign language see little hands in their head when they think about what somebody said, or do they hear the words in their heads?

:lol:

GAH!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!...the OMG thread 2 summers ago??? :unsure:

:( wish i'd been there. Read some last yr tho!! PhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuNNY!!!!

Phautauoumgmn!!!

:lol: :lol: THAT's gotta be a record!!!!!

The Crown of Superfluousity goes to thee!!

(Actually it's probably 3 or 4 nested crowns where one would suffice)

:blink: what in hell?????????????? a baked dingo brain is beyond miserable

:huh: :huh:

I couldn't beLIEVE I got this so wrong, so I searched <_<

It's just that, I think I become slightly delirious and more - approachable, maybe? -

with an overcooked and wilted brain. Also maybe more giggly.

Wait. that isn't true. I"m always giggly. Does the baked brain make one GIDDY? :P

:lol: I guess I extrapolated too much from this.

NO DAMMIT!! I *swear* there was more on the plusses of a baked brain from you while I was hating ALL aspects of the Phoenix heat!

<confuzzled now>

My interesting-food free Edna is going quite well.

And effective as in still remarkably pain-free??

.. .. ..but I just bought this hat!

I always find this interesting . . . if I had to eat the same food everyday, would I be overweight? We always free-fed my dog Maggie. She always stayed the same weight. My vet complimented me on keeping her at her ideal weight. I told her that we free feed and she told me "Never mind" then she turned to Maggie and gave her a good neck rub and talked to her in a dog voice and complimented Her on keeping herself at her ideal weight. Now, Josie is a different story, she would just keep eating, even though it's the exact same thing every day. I have a feeling I'm a Josie and not a Maggie.

My guess is, if you were eating the same food as Josie, you would happily self-limit.

Even more pain-free. Far more motivating than something silly, like avoiding a heart attack or fitting into a size 2 (OK, not even my skeleton would fit into a size two, but you get the picture).

OMG - I have to go pick up a few things at Walmart - - and I am soooooooo askeert of what sorts of Hershey's products I'll come home with......haven't had nuggets in at least a month.......could easily eat a whole bag today.......

:blink:Nuggets

My interesting-food free Edna is going quite well. Have had a few breakdowns wherein I just couldn't stand it any more and ate some fruit (warning for TV munchers- don't choose a bag of prunes as your mindless eating companion :ph34r: ) but mostly I've been good. Just finished my mid-afternoon snack of a bell pepper.

Good job Jess :D

My Edna is also rolling along nicely, but there have been those moments where I'd rather just not eat than have something "allowed" again. I hear ya on that.

I'm lucky, in that I can eat fruit (except citrus), so I use that to calm my sweet tooth. I bought some nectarines yesterday that are heavenly. It's funny because I was never much for fruit--it always upset my stomach (or so I thought) so I got out of the habit of eating it. Now, I'm discovering fruit all over again. :)

I'm losing a little weight and the clothes are fitting looser-- blood pressure is also responding so I'm on the right track. I do firmly believe that my body does. not. like. grains. Any grains, really and truly. For me and my issues, the grain free diet (and very low sodium) seem to be the ticket :D

Gawd--that was more than ya'll wanted to know but once I got rolling........ :lol:

Good for you too Patti :D

The nectarines sound yummy!

My edna has been in the crapper :ph34r: I have been eating whatever until I got my allergy test results back......which I just learned no gluten for sure, no gliadin containing grains, NOT even rice. So there will be no grains for me either :(

I've been doing great with the exercise part though, so at least there's progress there :D

Kudos on the exercise!! That's where I always fall short :ph34r:

Sorry about the grains, but honestly I feel better in so many ways without them.

She seems to be all legs. Does that fit with the rest of your family? Does she prefer wine-sicles to the more conventional way of consuming it?

:lol:

Should have jammed a big stick in that wine bottle.....one mega-dreamsicle.....

Elsie does indeed look like a baby deer. All legs, in every direction. :rolleyes::lol:

There's ELSIE!!!!!! Looking very content w/ a touch of "where's my HAIR?!!

I'm lucky, in that I can eat fruit (except citrus), so I use that to calm my sweet tooth. I bought some nectarines yesterday that are heavenly.

D'oh! I was thinking TANgerines at first!! :wacko:

The first poodle that my mom and dad ever had always hid under the sofa for a couple of days after a scalping hair-cut

Heheheheheehee :lol: :lol: that sounds like ME as a little kid!!!! Mom was giving us buzzcuts but I wanted hippie-hair! :D:lol:

I think I won out by 2nd or 3rd grade, but before that didn't want to go out to play for a couple days after a haircut!!

<kids!>

Actually, we still haven't decided how on earth glue keeps from sticking to the inside of that bottle.....is it due to a TLR signal, Jess? :rolleyes:

To me the REAL mystery is wth they're thinking in a movie when a very visible beaker contains an alleged invisibility potion :blink:

:lol: Jess said wine-sicles

I've been doing great with the exercise part though, so at least there's progress there :D

Yeah! Way to go! :)

Purple glittery sparkly bats??? :lol::lol:

Good times, very good times

:lol: forgot to comment on this earlier............and yeah, that does about sum it up.....also dingos and auxigro-detecting geese protecting our cult-town-by-the-sea :lol:

I also find it curious that I times I know I could plow through an entire bag of chips, but couldn't possibly put one more nut in my mouth. Interesting to ponder if these are emotional eating cues, or preservative-enhanced eating cues.

:ph34r: very timely that you should mention this, Jess, as I have just returned from Walmart nugget-less, but with a half-eaten bag of barbecue potato chips. Why half-eaten, you ask? because that's what happened on the way home....................oyyyyyyyyyyyy.............help me...............and I'm having a Kissey-less night so - who's goign to stop me???????????????????? :ph34r::ph34r:

Such good news, Patti!! :)

My vet complimented me on keeping her at her ideal weight.

Now, Josie is a different story, she would just keep eating, even though it's the exact same thing every day. I have a feeling I'm a Josie and not a Maggie.

I don't understand dogs and their weight issues.......Weezee is on such a limited-quantity diet, and yet she is a big, fat, potato spud. :huh: Of course, she does have her hobbies, which include ravaging anything she can reach in the recycle bin, or snacks accidentally left around.......

You know, she has no interest in a bed. So funny.....she stretches out on the hardwood floor, and sighs contentedly. I think she's just so happy to be out of a crate...she was in one all night at her old home, and whenever she was alone in the house. There is absolutely NO need for this...she doesn't chew anything, she is totally house trained....

....And she's very thin. No Edna for this girl.....

:) SOOOOOOOOOOO happy she's with you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at her, she looks serene, relieved, relaxed, refreshed, and very, very leggy. :lol: She must be the happiest thing alive......................yay! :)

Oh....all is so GOOD in Sillyville! Julie's gotten onto her treadmill, Patti and Jess are responding positively to their Ednas, Susie's got some chips, Ptaoughmn's haircut no longer finds him hiding under the dining room table.....all good.

It would be PERFECT if King Peter can tell us that he finished all of his parking lot line-painting...

Just the opposite of my DD, Briana. By age 5 she had long, thick, beautiful hair. But she was always bugging me to cut it short :( I would only cut a little and soon she'd be bugging me to cut more and more off. It wasn't until she was grown that she confessed to me that she would intentionally move while I was cutting so it would end up crooked and I would have to cut more to even it out <_<

She is Tuppence. We rescued her six years ago when she was 12 weeks old. I may be the king here in Sillyville, but at our house the cats rule. The males are 12 and 10 and are pretty relaxed. Tuppence is very demanding, and competes with three-year-old Riley for the role of Queen. Then there are two more females that live at our store.

The census by species:

Humans: 2

Cats: 6

Fish (Betta): 1

And, yes, you can be sure that Tuppence is watching. B)

Well, I did. It is a small lot, four spaces in all, perpendicular to the front wall. Five lines to paint using a roller on a long handle. The whole exercise, including watching it dry, took less than two hours.

It is a step in the right direction, and certainly less fuss than an overflowing toilet.

I probably should have used this quote, in case I confused anyone :blink:

Lisa, you want to make sure you have your own fluid onslaught (whatever it may be) and not let Emily end up owing you one because she got yours . . . Have you noticed her high post count? Her next big turnover will most likely require some sort of insurance mandated clean-up. You don't want that!!!! Keep yer own . . . even if you have to rig it . . . oops, I spilled a glass of milk on the floor . . . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

Well, early mornings are quiet. We started at 9:00 and all the paint was laid out by 10:30. I did watch for it to dry as I worked my way across the lot, moving the pylons, to make sure that at least two of the four spaces were usable at all times. The paint is specific for the purpose, and is touch dry in less than 30 minutes. It is latex based too, so cleaning up is a breeze.

Perfect!!

A little late, ~ post 116. Little muss/fuss - I like Janet's idea. Better to rig a minor fluid mishap than leave it to the Fates.

      DR1-DQ5 neurological symptoms

      By Murilo P · Posted

      It has been a while and I would like to post an update. The hallucinations are completely gone. Thanks to one bottle of B1 as benfotiamine and one of B3 as niacin, both taken together. I will buy more. The other symptoms are still being treated. Now I can already affirm that the symptoms are part of Borderline Personality Disorder. Yet I do have hopes that we will achieve the remission of BPD symptoms over the next couple of years. I think her issues come from this chain of events: Nutritional deficiencies at birth, due to being twin and having low birth weight. Low levels of Omega-3 during pregnancy and first years resulting in weak HPA axis development (predisposition for BPD). Consumption of gluten before age of 2 leading to predisposition for gluten sensitivity as adult Excessive consumption of gluten and sugar as an adult, leading to dysregulation of microbiome. Two severe gut infections due to lack of healthy bacteria, followed by hospitalization and use of antibiotics Poor diet after using antibiotics, worsening even more the gut health and leading to anorexia nervosa. Worsening of gluten sensitivity, then resulting in bouts of anxiety and depression, especially if added with sugar. Different forms of therapy haven't shown effectiveness yet, but I think it's because the issues must be treated with nutrients first, so we are taking that more seriously now and focusing on nutrients that are especially easy to digest and absorb. She still has intense gluten sensitivity, but I have hopes that this can go away after the body is completely re-nourished with the missing nutrients and then gets a few years to recover. Notes: The hallucinations begun after we tried Ayahuasca low dosage. I guess it was the result of a bad combination: "DR1 genes + B1 deficiency + Ayahuasca". I'd guess that would not have happened if it wasn't for the vitamin deficiencies. She has been fully in non-gluten diet, except for accidents that happen sometimes due to her food compulsion. I have been giving more importance to Omega-3, which is very effective in emotional regulation for BPD. Recently bought special products from Omnilife which use special "micelles" to promote quick absorption close to 100% rate. - "Micelles are tiny, spherical particles formed when amphiphilic molecules, like those in soap, aggregate in a liquid, typically water." Currently buying special whey protein which is hydrolyzed (easy to digest). I think we have underestimated the importance of proteins, which is not usually refereed as part of mental health treatment. She is pregnant again, but doing well. 🙂 Thanks for all of the help!

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi, My six year old has been complaining of tingling in the legs off late. This used to be pretty common thing with her pre-diagnosis and a couple of weeks after the diagnosis as well. And now it is back again. I am not sure if it's a glutening symptom, or she could be deficient in something. I got her Pure Encapsulations' multivitamin capsule, which she is ok taking, but she began reacting to cellulose in the capsule. I don't know if I can just break the capsule and she could drink it in a smoothie. I haven't tried that yet, so do not know whether it'll be palatable to her.  If any of you know of a CGF multivitamin that do not contain any gums and are preferably free of citric acid, I'd greatly appreciate. Thank you.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.

      If there were stains or particles on a drink can in an area that would either contact the drink or my lips, I would wash that can whether or not I had celiac disease.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      You are on the money, but I should also add that Italian, French and other countries research shows exactly what I have said. Our FDA is behind the ball when it comes to this research and I am hopeful that Kennedy can straighten this out soon, albeit he is giving the food companies too long to just remove food dyes from our foods when in fact they have to remove all that in order to sell for example, in the UK as they aren't allowed such things. The food companies and the cola companies have also changed their formulas to have just sugar in them instead of corn gluten aka high fructose corn syrup and corn starch in them. Misinformation here in America is a very dangerous thing. I also have been grain free for a long time now and at no time can I even have the smallest amount of corn gluten -I recently got glutened from a supplement that claimed to be grain free yet upon further research I found that it had erythritol (corn sugar) in it and that is what got me sick for 7 days straight. I am not hopeful to ever be able to add back into my diet any of the grain glutens, but perhaps those who were only gluten intolerant might be able to, but for me being celiac, I have no hope in that. Thank you for the article, I will add it to my collection of research as I am collecting everything I can find on this subject and posting it on X as well as other places.  I also don't use psuedo grains i.e. quinoa as that also reacts negatively with my gut, so I am 100% a cassava/tapioca/arrow root girl and that is my go to bread replacement. There are some new items made with chicpea/green peas that are sold as rice alternatives, i bought one to try but haven't yet. So food companies are getting creative, but like you said, I am fresh whole foods and don't buy many processed foods, I make my own cheese, ketchup, pickles, jams, etc.
