I'm wearing a dark green dress and I'm Seattle-fish-belly-white.

Also grey backpack, black sandals, probably grinning idiotically at anyone with wild hair.

When we flew direct to London from Ottawa it was five hours across the Atlantic. We left at ten pm, and landed at 8 am London time.. . quite bizarre, and a sleepless night for all of us. How long are you in the air, Jyesss? How many stops? You are SO far west.. . . .

Methinks Jyess will fly the polar route (we did from SFO to Frankfurt) up over Reykjavik and then zoom in down before the west coast of Scotland, and it may not take her that many hours to get to Heathrow. It's not like you have to go to New Yawk, or stuff like that, she is flying around the smallest part of the globe, not the longest way :P.

Went to the high school football picnic tonight. They hire this company that grill burgers, hot dogs, chicken and veggie burgers. It pretty good but this year, I can't eat it. So I brought a taco salad with some of the chicken Hub grilled last night. Yum! No one asked me why I was eating that. In fact, some were like " I wish I had thought to bring something". Seems like everyone around here is on a diet or anorexic. :)

Yes! In aeroplanes, the shortest distant between two places is not always a straight line. Looping over the North Atlantic is, in fact, the short route. Planes over the North Atlantic have NO means of control/communications. They have over five hours of non-communications. As long as they stay where they were told to be, no problem. Scary isn't it. They are given a vector and they are to remain on course (unless there is a declared emergency). Reyjavik is the nearest emergency landing destination after leaving North America.

Most planes leave the east coast in the early evening, with destinations throughout Europe. They are spaced out horizontally about 500 feet and vertically 1,000 feet.

...Are you comforted yet? :D BUT, they are all "sticks" and well trained and know what they are doing. Trust me! ;)

But, I thing Jess found Nikki !

I love Lisa's aviation phacts!!

But, I thing Jess found Nikki !

I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!! T'was FAN-F***IN'-TASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

I was about to give up and go home, I'd hung around the tube station for about an hour (looking highly suspicious :lol: ).... and thought I'd walk up to Terminal 3 'Arrivals' (bout a 10 min walk)

Hung about for about 30 mins - no Jess.

Walked back to the tube st - nothing - back to 'arrivals'.......still nothing.

Decided to queue to speak to someone in 'information' (very helpful li'l peeps!)....they checked her flight had landed, and that those travelling on to Spain had been bused over from Term 5. He said she shouldn't have any probs getting through immigration on a US passport. He suggested I wait at 'departures' as she would HAVE to go there.

Sooooooo, I trotted off there (more walking - damn! that airport's hot, Sven was right wiv me! :P )

Nada at departures, and I felt a tad disheartened 'cos I realised this airport IS MASSIVE and I'm unlikely to find her <_<

...decided on one last trot through 'arrivals' (nothing).....back to the tube st.

Halfway there, in me own little world, I looked up, eyes met AND THERE SHE WAS!!!!!!!!!!

I squeaked! ...and flung my arms round her!! :lol::lol: (not sure how Jess felt about being ambushed like this, but she took it quite well :-))

Time was getting on now - so I (now familiar with ,like, every nook and cranny of the airport :rolleyes: ) led the way to a coffee shop right next to her departure gate.

Jess looked AMAZING after a 9hr flight - and I looked FRAZZLED!! :lol: ..... although she didn't really know what day it was or the time ;):lol:

Turned out she'd got stuck behind a crowd at immigration.

Barely had time for tea before she had to leave.... but SOOOOO glad I gots to meet her!!!!!!!!!

That really is pretty crazy- you mean stick people fly the planes? :P

I forgot about that. Me dad was an air traffic controller for 23 years. Unfortunately, at the time I was a little brat who didn't want to listen to Dad's dumb work stories :o Now I ask him gazillions of questions. He was on duty when the Beatles landed in Boston for the first time. But much more important.........

THE INTERNATIONAL PSILLY PSUMMIT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!

So freaking flipping cool! how crazy is that? :D :D :D

What darling Knikki *hereafter referred to as DK* didn't tell you is that she showed up with a bag of treats!! BA messed up my gluten-free meal so I had had nothing but salad all day and DK has food!!

It was so nice to meet her and she is just as wonderful in person.

I'm still fried and jet lagged and all that stuff that comes with traveling 14 hours, but I'll try to say hi later.

Soooo happy you two were able to meet up!!!

We are at the most amazing beach, drove all the way out here to see the sunset, which is about to happen! Maddie was swimming with the sea turtles and eels, had to drag her from the water. Conversation went like this:

Me: Maddie, I can see your nipples.

Max: Nickels? Where are her nickels?

Me: No, nipples.

Max: Where?

Me: On your chest.

Max: Right here? (pointing to nipples) Nickels? They're not shiny, they're NOT nickels, but they kinda look like them....

Rolly-eyes. ;)

      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
