Soooo not looking forward to that!! DD tried to convince me that she "just had to" call her friend to ask a "very important question" (about Justin Bieber ;) ) at 930 Saturday night. I said NO WAY! I'd be P.O.'d if someone called her after 8pm!

So, youse guys don't have yer kids on Da Book yet. I tell ya, it certainly frees up the phone. In fact, DD is NEVER on the phone (at least, speaking - - she texts everything).... . .. . she and her bro ask all of their "very important questions" to all of their 600 friends on fb.

What in hell did WE do as kids with just one, perhaps two, land-line phones in the house?? And no call waiting, no call display. . ... . ..... .. I NEVER knew when someone else was trying to get through, I never knew ahead of picking up the phone who it was calling, I had to stand in the hallway beside the phone for my entire conversations... . .... ..

Hell, how did I do it?

:rolleyes::lol:

Mine don't talk on thier phones... only text. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes to text and make plans when it would have taken 2 minutes if they talked. The only people who actually call J are girls and not as often as he would like. ;)

I phiddled around wif me laptop and I don't know wih was wrong wif it but it's working now. Apparently, it "wasn't shut down correctly"--the only thing is that I didn't shut it down..... :unsure:

It was also kinda warm, so I unplugged it and left it for several hours. Maybe it had a fever :lol: Whatever--it's back :D

True dat!!! . . . the scariest thing that comes to mind is babysitting. Nowdays, we give the babysitter the cell phone number and off we go. I used to babysit for my Uncle. Have no way to get ahold of him. There were three kids (ages 1,4,5). I was 11 . . . and he would pay me a whoppin' 50 cents an hour. That was cheap even waaaaaaaay back then.

Gawd--I used to babysit for 50 cents an hour too! Frequently I sat for my church school teacher and her doctor husband. They were a young couple with 2 toddlers and a newborn. Their house was always a mess--I would feed the kids, clean the kitchen as best I could, put them to bed, and always end up falling asleep on their couch.

Every freakin time they said they wouldn't be too,late, and every freakin time I would be awakened so that the husband could drive me home at like 3AM. So embarrassing--I was like 13. The good thing is they always paid well--huge tippers :P I funded my 45 rpm collection with that loot. :lol:

Don't move to Kiwiland then. Kiwi may be our national bird, but sheeps are our national animal. Give up lamb and you'd starve :unsure: It's much worse than Greece even :lol: As a kid I was quite bloodthirsty watching my dad slit their little throats (Oh, Ghianit, don't cry!), but I always knew that it was not our pet lambs because he always kept those in a separate flock so we knew we were not eating Pouncer or Molly or..... :D

Haven't has much lamb. Goat, that to me is awful! Seems to always be stewed in some herbs that make it look green. Cows, chickens, turkey and pigs...yum. Got so darn many geese here, may be going for that. Have had some super good venison summer sausage when I worked in the Sierra foothills. Since going gluten-free, meat tastes better. Odd? Sure it's odd, we're talking about me!

I used to always do my yearly purge by having a garage sale. Done my share of Goodwill, too. Now I'm trying resale shops....haven't seen any money from that, yet. <_<

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
