Well....now I have a backed up kitchen sink......does that count?

:lol: :lol: :lol: why, it most certainly does! See, we TOLD you!!!!!!!!! :P

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.

:lol: watching it dry = phunny

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

:lol: indeed.....

Emily - NO!!!! 'Tis NOT a good thing Susie has chips!!!!!!!!! :o it's totally heinous, and I'm gonna pay for it tomorrow, I'm pretty sure. Egregious craving took over and.........I am not pleased. :ph34r:

Well Lisa, let the cute-off begin!!!!!!!!!! My Lemon Squeezee is....is.....incomprehensibly adorable....that pose in my av? She does it nearly every morning, when she's just come in from going potty......plops down on the carpet in front of me, rolls onto her back, and does the wiggly self-spa treatment. :lol: The cuteness of it can stop one dead in one's tracks - positively no one is immune to is - and 'tis only so I"ll stop and scratch her belly. :P

Susie, at least you escaped the nuggets...

:blink: I know but..........are not chips even MORE egregious and injurious? :unsure:

OMG - I am trying to barbecue and don't know what in hell I'm doing. :lol: Do I leave the lid up, or down? which side does the meat go - fat up or down ('tis that most California cut known as tri-tip)....and - when do I flip it over? how long does it stay on? how do you know when it's done???????? :unsure::lol: :lol:

It's for the mens, really......I have no business doing this.

Also I have just cut the back of my own hair. :ph34r: Another thing I have no business doing. :lol:

I WANT NUGGETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you googled asapap [asap after posting]

How'd it turn out?

It's ALWAYS soooooooooooo good every time I've had it.

I remember being entirely flabbergasted at 1st tri-tip w/ the thought "how can I have not even HEARD of this????"

Also I have just cut the back of my own hair. :ph34r: Another thing I have no business doing. :lol:

Morning, Amanda et al!

Glorious morning, here...bright sun, dew sparkling on our lawn, the second round of tulips bursting forth....

And now TWO dogs staring at me to go walkies....

I am going for a run with them both today on the trails, so we'll see how things go. Elsie had one accident sometime last night - - peed right by Gus's bed (significant?), so I'll keep an eye on her. May have to monitor/ration her water somewhat at first.....

Well....now I have a backed up kitchen sink......does that count?

YYYYYYYEEESSSSSS!!

Lisa's in!

/||||||||\

Janet! That is an incredible font rendering....you may just well be a frustrated artist, and have missed your calling. Those are SO crooked banglike!!!! :D

Never heard of Tri-tip! Want some.....

How do you guys feel about Canadian (or peameal) Bacon? Mmmmmmmmmm...... :wub:

Morning Sillies!!! Beautimous day here today. I'm hoping to get some landscaping work done today . . . after a meeting and some errands.

Elsie had one accident sometime last night - - peed right by Gus's bed (significant?), so I'll keep an eye on her. May have to monitor/ration her water somewhat at first.....

Perhaps just rationing it close to bedtime . . .

Location does seem a little telling, eh?

Well Canadian Bacon sounds a LOT better than Peameal Bacon . . . we like it on pizza.

I like to chat about bizarre things. One time the doc told me all about how to clean a dog's anal glands (swear to god). That's the only part of the day I remember.

Maybe you could bring up the glue question.

Or ask about the roll of TLRs in inflammation.

One time (after I had assumed the position) my doc said "Now let your knees fall naturally apart". And my response was "On this day, they don't do that!!"

Finally the truth comes out:

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!

Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.

5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.

8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made:

1. No sale of bread to minors.

2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.

3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.

4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.

5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

What an interesting coincidence.

I had my yearly physical yesterday morning, and the doctor and I were discussing this as we prepared for the male-specific unpleasant event: digital rectal prostate examination.

She said that she thought it (the rectal probe) was not as bad as a pap smear. I think this is one of those great questions in life that will never be properly answered. I mean, it's not like we can find a panel of subjects who have had both experiences. :unsure:

Yes, you may want to monitor Elsie's water consumption in the evening. The location of the accident may or may not have any significance.

It is a beautiful sunny day here. :)

I hope I'm not too late. You need protection, as what we have heeyah is one Speak No Evil & one See No Evil.

Just got done talking to my best friend K. (tis the one and same that you met, Bev). She told me that for Mother's Day, her daughter bought her a gluten-free cook book because . . . said to her by her daughter . . . "you liked all those things that Janet cooked, I thought you might want to learn how to do it, too." :D:D

Amanda--Did they put him on antibiotics in the meantime? If they did, once they kick in, the pain should greatly diminish. Hope he feels better soon :)

OK . . . True Story . . . and I am in no way recommending this . . .

My cousin had an infected tooth that needed to be pulled. The dentist put him on an antibiotic and told him to come back in ?? weeks. He went back to work (he was working as a supervisor in a diesel engine (semi-trucks) garage) and took a pair of channel locks and pulled out his own tooth. With the tooth comes a handful of puss and blood. Two employees were watching. One passed out and the other threw up.

OK . . . He's the one that I heard the story from . . . I guess he could have made the whole thing up . . . but I tend to believe him . . . It's the kind of thing he would do.

      Sorry to hear you're going through such a hard time. It would be worth looking into MCAS/histamine issues and also Long Covid. Perhaps there is something occurring in addition to celiac disease. It would be worth ruling out micronutrient deficiencies such as the b vitamins (B12, folate, B1, etc), vit D, and ferritin (iron stores).

      This sounds very similar to the neuropathic pain I experienced with type two diabetes. Gloves and boots pattern of neuropathy is common with deficiencies in Cobalamine B12 (especially the pain in the big toe), Niacin B3, and Pyridoxine B6. These are vitamins frequently found to be low in people with pre-diabetes and diabetes. Remember that blood tests...

I would have watery and bloody diarrhoea, bloating, malaise and be unable to eat. If I recall correctly, it was about a year after being diagnosed with coeliac disease and going on a strict gluten free diet that I accidentally consumed dairy products and didn't react. From then on, I have been fine with diary.

      This sounds very similar to the neuropathic pain I experienced with type two diabetes.  Gloves and boots pattern of neuropathy is common with deficiencies in Cobalamine B12 (especially the pain in the big toe), Niacin B3, and Pyridoxine B6.  These are vitamins frequently found to be low in people with pre-diabetes and diabetes.  Remember that blood tests for vitamin levels is terribly inaccurate.  You can have vitamin deficiencies before there are any changes in blood levels.  You can have "normal" serum levels, but be deficient inside organs and tissues where the vitamins are actually utilized.  The blood is a transportation system, moving vitamins absorbed in the intestines to organs and tissues.  Just because there's trucks on the highway doesn't mean that the warehouses are full.  The body will drain organs and tissues of their stored vitamins and send them via the bloodstream to important organs like the brain and heart.  Meanwhile, the organs and tissues are depleted and function less well.   Eating a diet high in simple carbohydrates can spike blood sugar after meals.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates consistently over time can cause worsening of symptoms.  Thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B3 and Pyridoxine B6, (which I noticed you are not supplementing), are needed to turn carbs, proteins and fats into energy for the body to use.  Alcohol consumption can lower blood sugar levels, and hence, alleviate the neuropathic pain.  Alcohol destroys many B vitamins, especially Pyridoxine, Thiamine and Niacin.  With alcohol consumption, blood glucose is turned into fat, stored in the liver or abdomen, then burned for fuel, thus lowering blood glucose levels.  With the cessation of alcohol and continued high carb diet, the blood glucose levels rise again over time, resulting in worsening neuropathy.   Heavy exercise can also further delete B vitamins.  Thiamine and Niacin work in balance with each other.  Sort of like a teeter-totter, thiamine is used to produce energy and Niacin is then used to reset the cycle for thiamine one used again to produce energy.  If there's no Niacin, then the energy production cycle can't reset.  Niacin is important in regulating electrolytes for nerve impulse conduction.  Electrolyte imbalance can cause neuropathic pain.   Talk to your doctors about testing for Type Two diabetes or pre-diabetes beyond an A1C test since alcohol consumption can lower A1C giving inaccurate results. Talk to your doctors about supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, and correcting deficiencies in Pyridoxine, Niacin, and B12.  Hope this helps! Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ P. S.  Get checked for Vitamin C deficiency, aka Scurvy.  People with Diabetes and those who consume alcohol are often low in Vitamin C which can contribute to peripheral neuropathy.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this—chronic neuropathic or nociplastic pain can be incredibly frustrating, especially when testing shows no nerve damage. It’s important to clarify for readers that this type of central sensitization pain is not the same thing as ongoing gluten exposure, particularly when labs, biopsy, and nutritional status are normal. A stocking/glove pattern with normal nerve density points toward a pain-processing disorder rather than active celiac-related injury. Alcohol temporarily dampening symptoms likely reflects its central nervous system depressant effects, not treatment of an underlying gluten issue—and high-dose alcohol is dangerous and not a safe or sustainable strategy. Seeing a pain specialist is absolutely the right next step, and we encourage members to work closely with neurology and pain management rather than assuming hidden gluten exposure when objective testing does not support it.
