I don't know whether to celebrate your physical loss or mourn the gastronomical loss to your pallette.

It was difficult mentally to permanently cut it out. But I felt much better.
When I ate wheat I would wake up with my joints hurting. I had assumed it was part of getting older.
The cows milk was causing sinus issues from environmental allergies to get much worse.
The first year I tried a couple times to eat cheese cake and regretted it.
I also had issues with can goods I had been getting for a year. I read the label and they had added wheat and milk.

The gluten/dairy free stuff that first came out wasn't tasty. The current stuff is tasty but most has additives that aren't great for health . So I have daiya brand cheese cake and pizza a couple times a year

something got into my guinea fowl coop and killed one. a friend of mine set a trap and I moved the others to another coop. I hope whatever it was returns and gets caught.

Any luck catching it?

This morning:

Just this morning while I am not about to pass out from the heat..I put some garden lime and mix it up with the soil at my tiny rooster's hang out place.

I think about my chilly plants that growing so well in the pots are now looking...sad, the heat is getting to them. I water them so many times in a day.

Thinking...will mow the lawn later today as the grass seeds sticking out and it is causing me allergy.....I do not love allergy at all...allergy this and allergy that...Why don't I ever allergic to CAKES? It would be so good if I am allergic to Cheese cake, Mud cake, muffins, pancakes, fruits cake, cup cakes, ....

That's called diabetes, and you don't want that either.
Being queen of allergies, I hear you.

Is it just me, or does it seem like there's been a huge uptake in allergies in the last few decades? When I was growing up it seemed almost nobody had allergies, now it seems like everyone does.

It thinknits directly correlated to the increase in medical availability, treatment options, testing and affordability.

I was horribly allergic to every thing as a kid in the early 70s, miserable and sick all the time, but that was before EVERYONE had insurance and the treatment was sudafed and benadryl only. And that may have been to 80s for those. We bought it over the counter 500 pills at a time for about 20$.

Now there's testing for the specific what and multiple families of meds and classes of meds.

Plus everyone talks about it now because of the internet and social media, etc. People may have had them before but you wouldn’t have known because you weren’t necessarily talking to people from around the world lol

Right. I've heard people ask where we're all these peanut allergy kids when I was little?
One example. Neighbor when I was a kid child passed at 18 months 1st peanut butter- it was a cookie.
1976. But only friends and family knew and it was horrible and im sure it happen more often than we knew, we just never heard.

That’s awful! But yeah exactly. We had a family friend growing up who one of the kids was highly allergic to peanut butter. But he was the only one I knew of.

Yes people died for no known reason a lot. Now we id all kinds of things that they never heard of when I was a kid
