Do Tostitos really have a long ingredient list? Normally corn chips are just corn, oil, and salt ... or maybe that's just the ones I buy. :rolleyes: (There, just try to figure out what I mean! :lol: ).

Gah! It felt like I only needed to go as far as "Do Tostitos really" and already was ready for the embarrassed emoticon! (which, if any emoticon-adding is done here, really needs to be first)

Somehow I was thinking DORitos :blink:

I know I TYPED Tostitos. In my mind I DID picture round ones - not isosceles (& occasionally equilateral) triangles.

Hehe Carla, I think I knew exactly what u mean.

I just don't know WHAT I was thinking - Tostitos aren't the chemically-flavored-giant-ingred-list chip I was railing against!!

(W/ apologies to Emily) "My bad!" :(

:lol:

Sarah! Mmmm cheesy salsa! & sour cream!! & goggles!! :lol:

Yes . ... ..sometimes my posts are for my own amusement only.

And yes, definitely no Joey in me.

Strangely, multiple strangers have said I looked like Woody Harrelson, tho that's when I'm less underweight than now.

And how's THIS for a fun moment!! I got CARDED at WhFds buying some Redbridge!! :D (fyi to the newer, I'm 36 . .. . .no wait .. . I'm 45 but want to THINK I'm 36!) :rolleyes:

There's a realgood chance I have SHIRTS older than the clerk! :o

Off to the Gordon Biersch brewpub w/ bands on heated patio!! ;)

<bah . .. .do I drink water or wine .. . .>

I had the pleasure of rubbing shoulders with Tom during lunch.....and quite a handsome Woodly Harrelson he was (is)!

Thanks a lot, Lisa, now we have his ego to deal with!! :lol::lol:

OMGosh, what a day!!!!

Eldest is home sick, has the SAT tomorrow at a University that I don't even know how to get to and he has to be there at 7:45 AM ....

Other turd for brains son left a bag for donuts in the family room, he's not allowed to go buy donuts (we live downtown around the corner from the donut shop), so I go to the store and find out he and his sister have been there twice this week ... the lady is not going to sell them donuts anymore. :D

Then, I go to Kroger, I buy paper towels and bottled water, check out, and NO CAR KEYS!!!! I looked with the help of the staff for 45 minutes ... we even emptied the trash can THREE times. They are not there. Someone had to drive me home to get my spare key ... all the keys to our vacant rental house are on that keychain. I have NO idea where it is ... someone must have picked them up then forgotten to turn them in.

I think I want to take an Ambien and skip ahead till tomorrow.

Then be sure you like your new kitchen ... remodeling a kitchen is almost as bad as moving! <_<

A little better, but still can't buy the love story ... in fact, there are really no interesting love stories this year ... and What's his face's mom seemed like the shrink for everyone this week, sure was convenient that she was waiting around for so long. They're really going to need to put McSteamy in a towel again to redeem themselves.

I'm actually liking Addison's show better.

I was supposed to pick up turd for brains from school today to drive him to a youth group meeting. Well, the school is less than a mile from home and a safe walk ... when I didn't show up, he called .... I asked what he had for breakfast ... long pause ... donuts ... "Then enjoy the walk home!" LOL

Funny you should say that! We found a house that we loved but the kitchen was going to need a complete re-do. I had in my mind exactly the way I was going to have it done. We were all set to make an offer when......

We looked at "one last house" last Sunday....Well....we walked into this house that we ended up buying, and--I swear--it has the same kitchen I had envisioned! The present owner is a builder, and had actually re-done the whole house, but when I walked into that kitchen, I almost dropped my teeth :lol:

I must say, I was not looking forward to a kitchen remodel, so this worked out perfectly. I know a little of what you're going through as my sister and her husband re-did their kitchen last year. I hope yours doesn't take as long as hers did. It was worth it, though--it's georgeous.

Have a nice weekend :)

Patti, I'm so glad you found the RIGHT house with the PERFECT kitchen!!! That's even better than a good haircut! :D And, previously owned by a builder, it should be in great shape.

Our kitchen is supposed to take 7 weeks. Judging by the first week, I think he's probably right on with the timing. The guy we settled on seems to be everything we thought he was, very professional. I really can't believe how quickly he ripped it out.

Our house is a historic home, so it's totally worth it to have it remodeled. I have a microwave and a hot plate (to boil water, only) in my dining room and a refrigerator hidden in a hallway, so we can heat up already prepared food. This week's been great because some friends have brought over dinner all week ... not because of my kitchen, but because I've been feeling so bad and Adam's been out of town 3 weeks in a row.

I'll put a picture up of my house tomorrow on my personal profile. I'll just leave it there for a few hours (not a good idea on the internet, right? ;)). So, be sure to look tomorrow.

We talked about doing that ... mainly because then we could still use the old kitchen till we got the new one done. :) But in the end, we decided the room it was in was the best room. The other room was too small and had too many doors and windows. Our house is all windows!

It looks like they've gotten it cleared out in good order--what's the next step?

I'm so happy I don't have to go the microwave/hot plate route like I had planned :P Here's hoping it all stays on schedule, and you'll have the new kitchen for the holidays. :)

They do have it all out. It looks so much bigger with the bulkhead and cabinets removed. That light green color was NOT part of our kitchen, it's from before the 1960's ... it was all covered by the bulkhead and cabinets.

The next step is having the electrician and plumber out. Then the drywall and flooring. He was doing a lot of the framing today, which isn't shown in the pictures, it's on the other side of the kitchen.

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
