Miamia

I currently have Bob's and haven't had a reaction but I know other people have. I think Authentic Foods is on a dedicated line but it is very expensive.

[CarlaB]

For the fun place this is going to be, there is no social director? Maybe I'd be good at that! I can count the population as I go along visiting everyone!

[AndreaB]

Andrea--Does that list get longer every time you post it, or is it just me? Gotta hand it to you--you keep perfect track of all us Rachelvillians.

[CarlaB]

Cool. I haven't had a job other than the stuff that goes along with wife and mom for years!!

[AndreaB]

Andrea--Does that list get longer every time you post it, or is it just me? Gotta hand it to you--you keep perfect track of all us Rachelvillians.

I have the list saved on my computer and update as necessary. Gotta keep including newbies to the thread but I don't have everyone on here yet. Debbie posted a day or two ago but don't know if she's going to be a regular as well as Stephanie.

BTW I created the upper people from Pres on down to Lt Governors based on who has been with Rachel from the start.

[DingoGirl]

The dingos are unconscious, we went to the back-country part of our beautiful park here, toward the river, and the squirrels.....OMG just a proliferation of squirrels today......so good news, they are not staring at me and I can get some things done.....

Carla, I've read your kind and thoughtful posts on the Communion thread (which unfotunately one person is making quite nasty - she would be flogged in R-ville - or converted to niceness by our sweet and perfect CULT TOWN)....I think you could teach religion or catechism (with gluten-free Host, of course) at UCCF (University of the Celiac Cult Farm)??? Or, choose your own job, whatever you want!! Your husband looks like he'd fit in well with the comedy team......Oh and Carla, very interesting info about your grandfather!

Andrea don't forget that Rachel is ALSO the town ice-cream maker, and Rinne - I think - runs the juice bar.....Karen - do we need a counselor in R-ville, since it's perfect??? I think she's Altoids Ambassador on Special Assignment: Making All the Men Happy....not sure though...I make things up all the time, as you all know....

Donna - good luck with low or no-histamine - - remember, there are NO histamines in R-ville!

Miamia - - do you have a job yet? did I miss it?

Fiddle-Faddle - - good info about the grapes and I have heard they are SO louded w/ pesticides, esp. the S. American ones...I soak mine in a bowl, am adding dish-soap from now on.....

that naughty Julie - she probably found naked stripper cops - - too bad we can't see......

Where's Pengy? we haven't heard from her in a while - - maybe the gluten's driven her mad... ??

gotta go - - am thinking I must turn computer off to get many things done today....

I want some homemade ICE CREAM!!!! Will settle for Hershey's nuggets today.....hope I can tolerate....

[Lisa]

Karen said that I was Mayor, most gladly relinquish the post. As Senator, can I take junkets around the world with lobbiests that are my new closet and dearest friends.?

Just saw Donna's job

[Camille'sBigSister]

Somebody tell me if there's a good reason not to do this, but a friend of mine who seems to me to be very nutrition- and chemical-savvy instructed me to ALWAYS wash grapes. Not rinse. Wash. With dish soap. Which actually makes sense, because if you read the ingredients on the expensive fruit and vegetable wash that they sell in the produce aisle, the active ingredient is "surfactant."

Anyway, I've been doing this for about 8 years now, and I gotta say, it DOES get rid of that haze on the grapes, whereas plain water doesn't. So that must mean that that haze is totally CHEMICAL. And the grapes seem to taste much sweeter when I wash them with dish soap, too....just be sure to rinse really, really well!

Alison, I think that haze is a kind of mold. I gave up eating grapes years ago, because I'm so allergic to mold, and it wouldn't come off when I washed with just water. So, thanks for the tip about the dishwashing soap. Maybe I can eat grapes again!

Andrea, you may be right about the soy. I've wondered about it myself.

I ordered several things from gfbakery, and the box came yesterday. Lord have mercy, what a mess! The container of bread crumbs had broken open and covered everything else with fine, dust-like crumbs. My kitchen was covered with that stuff!!! Boy, was I mad!

I do believe we're fixing to get a storm. A miracle! I don't mind putting my computer to sleep for a lovely thunderstorm!

Talk to y'all later. Have a happy weekend!

I wondered how that worked! I like Vice President--sounds important, but no real work is involved

Lisa

..but Lisa, why would you ever need to LEAVE R-ville?? .....well, maybe you could go out with Mango, who'll often be dispatched on special assignments to bring us news and of course, more gluten-free delights that she finds.....

[AndreaB]

Andrea - - your lists - -

edit - and the fact that some hapless visitor, once again, coming upon this site might read that and realize.....OMG we really are onto something - - - and that is that we are NUTS.....

[AndreaB]

Karen said that I was Mayor, most gladly relinquish the post. As Senator, can I take junkets around the world with lobbiests that are my new closet and dearest friends.?

Lisa

Lisa,

Whatever you need....just remember we are a gluten free community....absolutely no gluten allowed from anyone visiting.

[CarlaB]

Carla, I've read your kind and thoughtful posts on the Communion thread (which unfotunately one person is making quite nasty - she would be flogged in R-ville - or converted to niceness by our sweet and perfect CULT TOWN)....I think you could teach religion or catechism (with gluten-free Host, of course) at UCCF (University of the Celiac Cult Farm)??? Or, choose your own job, whatever you want!! Your husband looks like he'd fit in well with the comedy team......Oh and Carla, very interesting info about your grandfather!

My husband definately would fit in the comedy team, or else the child entertainer ... he's great with kids, and they seem to flock to him. He will be glad to hear we're moving somewhere where there are not allergies. He's a big allergy sufferer.

I could teach catechism or religion. I actually coordinate youth work in three states, so it's what I do in the real world, so I thought a change of pace would be fun in the imaginary world!

Name please. I can't update anything without a name. He will be the 3rd hubby included. Anyone else's hubbies that want to join....need name and preferred occupation.

Wait... how did Tony get in R'Ville? Wonderful guy but how will I be able to look at the good looking cops running around?

Cecile,

Where've you been? He's been on the list since I took over.

[CarlaB]

Adam

[DingoGirl]

Wait... how did Tony get in R'Ville? Wonderful guy but how will I be able to look at the good looking cops running around?

hey, here's what I've heard a couple of men say over the years:

even a (wo)man on a diet can look at the menu..... Because, as you know, these cops are going to be super-humanly perfect specimens, just there for looks and flirting, really, not law enforcment....

[tiredofdoctors]

Hey -- my husband is a Naval Architect -- and all around good guy (Catholic, too . . . could help defend the poor Catholics who are getting attacked on another thread . . . he, and the geese). At ANY rate, he could DESIGN any ships, etc. which are needed in R'ville . . . his name is Dave. He is also VERY good at telling people EXACTLY what he thinks about their opinions -- that they are best kept to themselves as far as he is concerned, because he doesn't care . . . when someone is causing "difficulty" . . . He would, however, become distracted (without admitting it) by the beautiful cops!!!!! We could use him . . . he's a keeper!

And, BTW: I want an OFFICIAL Rachelville T-shirt . . . one that says, "Rachelville: Don't hassle me, I'm a local" and has the Official Rachelville Trophy proudly displayed . . . .

[DingoGirl]

Lynnie this T-shirt, while extremely appropriate, implies that there will be legions of visitors to R-ville....is this so? I mean, I KNOW they'll WANT to visit us, and paparazzi will be harassing us (the cops will come in handy here)....but, how will we handle this? I think they must all stay on busses and not be allowed out, you know, to mingle....unless they want to JOIN our cult and then we'll have brain-washing seminars they can attend.....and there, yes, the T-shirts are needed....

Um, good idea, we need a ship-builder for our sea-faring buddies, but, is your husband mildly gay - - being distracted by the cops and all......just checking.....

[Camille'sBigSister]

BTW, before I close down, I feel compelled to get on another soapbox.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear. Just because I'm Town Matriarch, and even though I can't see that town trophy, doesn't mean that I haven't . . . uh . . . been young. You'd be surprised at the tales old folks could tell. Remember that, the next time you see an old lady in her rocking chair, talking to herself and laughing. You may think it's senility, but I'm here to tell you it ain't necessarily so!

Cissie

[DingoGirl]

LYNNIE - SOS - just read this on the "good research paper on the neurological manisfestations" etc. - -

Hopefully someone will be able to answer the Purkinje question because I don't know the answer to that.

...on those perkinje cells in the brain - - I think your help is needed on that thread!

Cissie added to your title is:

Town Raconteur

[Canadian Karen]

..Karen - do we need a counselor in R-ville, since it's perfect??? I think she's Altoids Ambassador on Special Assignment: Making All the Men Happy

Does this mean my new title is "Town Hussey"?
