OMG...seriously, last week I barely got any sleep cuz of this site! I couldnt keep up...I couldnt go to bed if I hadnt caught up....I dont even know how I managed to eat. :unsure:

Oh...and a couple weeks ago we had some technical difficulties with the computer....I couldnt get online for a couple days. I went through withdrawl. :(

I'm glad you enjoy it bc it probably won't stop since we're both lazy. Plus, I'll be going to college soon.

Both lazy? You're lazy, I'm sick!! Before I got sick, I was hardly lazy!! :)

OMG julie!!

I LOVE Grease 2!! I think I saw if first before I ever saw Grease....I loved it...have seen it too many times to count. I probably know it by heart. Because I saw it first, I never really liked the original Grease half as much. Nobody else gets this!! Everyone looks at me like I'm off my rocker cuz I like the one with Michelle Pfiefer better.....sue me! :rolleyes:

The songs you named arent my favs though...I liked "I'll be Your Girl For All Seasons", "Cool Rider" and the one at the end...when they're at the luau....cant think of it right now.

Oh Rachel, this makes me absolutely giddy!!!

I sort of downplayed my love for Grease 2 because I thought I would sound like a nerd or something :lol: . But I LOVE LOVE LOVE Grease 2. It was the same for me, I saw Grease 2 before I saw the original Grease so I didn't have it to compare it to.

I had a major crush on the lead actor, Maxwell Caulfield.

I love the songs Back To School Again, Score Tonight, Cool Rider, Girl For All Season's, Turn Back The Hands of Time, We'll Be Together, Rock-A-Hula-Luau (the song at the luau)

Yes go rent it Carla, and join in on the love for Grease 2 :lol:

Have a great time you guys at grandmas :)

Thanks Andrea, for wondering where I was :D

For you grease 2 fans, I always liked the original better. I saw the original first and many, many times. I thought grease 2 was good but was disappointed it didn't have anything to do with the first grease.

Andrea, I think, like Carla pointed out, if you saw the original Grease first you were probably disappointed with Grease 2. For those of us who saw Grease 2 first, we didn't have the original to compare it to, and for us it was a more modern/updated version of our time that we could relate to. Imo anyway.

Grease 2 took place a decade later, same school, same groups (Pink Ladies, Greasers) just different faces. Plus Frenchie was still there, and her cousin was Michael, the foreign exchange student, aka "Cool Rider" :lol:

**edit, actually maybe it was the same decade, just a different senior class.

Soooo cool that you love this movie too! :D

Turn Back the Hands of Time...I cant believe I forgot that one! Thats my second fav.....after Girl For All Seasons.

The song I was referring to was We'll Be Together.....not the Rock a Hula Luau....I dont really care for that song. Wasnt We'll Be Together near the end...I thought it was at the luau....maybe not. :unsure:

I wanna see it now....its been a long time. :P

Today was the most pittiful time I've conversed with you over the computer and I was sick. And also, in a certain way, I'm not lazy. I do a lot of work....I'm just a little tired when it comes to talking :) So I pick and choose what I want to say out loud. :rolleyes:

I've never seen Grease 2, I only saw Grease and I LOVED it :D I also have the soundtrack :)

Yes, de ja vu :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I like the original Grease, but I just have a special place in my heart for Grease 2. Michael was so dreamy.

I guess everyone is really partial to their favorite version!

Yeah, Rachel "We'll Be Together" was at the end, after Michael reveals himself at the luau, when magically it is nighttime in a blink of an eye :lol:

I actually just watched it last month with my nieces, they played Grease and Grease 2 back to back on the Family Channel :D

Wait, we talked about Grease on Saturday night? I must have missed that.....

I am always one step behind :lol:

.....or two

Dave, nice to see that you're not a complete town idiot.....you're still smart enough to find the town ;)B)

Thanks, I guess ;) And in case you didn't know, I found more than this new town :lol:

It's good to see you found us Dave.

Rachel,

Why do I think his bark is worse then his bite? Afterall he didn't say anything about the orange jug.

:D

and....

I bite as hard as loud as I bark! haha... I did say something about the jug..... she had to explain how she carried it out to the car without me or anyone else noticing the gallon jug! :ph34r::lol:

:lol::lol:

Yeah....I will need at least 6 weeks after carrying the alien baby around for 4 years!!

I would grant you a permanent leave if you told me you were having an alien baby!

Oh...he brought up the orange jug thing too. :rolleyes: I went back into the pages of the OMG thread last night.....never a good thing going back. I was lost in the thread for awhile but eventually found some stuff. OMG....I should not be held accountable for things I said while under the influence of sweet potatoes and yams! :ph34r:

excuses :rolleyes:

LMAO!!

As a matter of fact I think its a GREAT job for the town idiot!! :lol::lol::lol:

I know he'll be really excited about it too! :lol:

Andrea...Can you add this to The Dave's job list?? He will be the towns poop hauler. :D

Kind of a punishment for going back into the pages of the OMG thread.... :P

BS! using your presidential powers to make me pickup the doo doo?

:lol: I can't wiat to see his response to this :lol: I hope he visits Rachelville tonight.

B)

Rachel consider it done.

Dave (The): Town Idiot with the side job of keeping the tumbleweeds at bay; Rule Breaker; Construction Worker; Firefighter; Town Handler of Natural Fertilizer for the Gardens

Do you know I was only in the 'ville for like 4 days....then dissappeared, and I'm still made fun of more than anyone else? Whoa! At least I bring humor (with me or at me) to the group :)

:lol::lol::lol:

Hmmmm, maybe you should help out Dave with his duties.

Any F-R-I-E-N-D-S fans? The one where Chandler has the interview, and his future employer asks about his duties. Chandler explains how he almost cracked up in the interview because his new boss was asking about his "doodies"...ok I'm a freak...I know :blink:

Yes this should be a decree...anyone who goes back should incur punishment, lol. (Okay, maybe only TheDave!) :lol:

Thanks for the support....I'd expect more from a fellow NorCalifornian! :P

:huh: Slacker, the 1st was so much better than the 2nd! Everyone knows sequels are just desperate attempts for more $$$. What are you thinking? :rolleyes:

Oh....and for the technical side....since everyone can now do multiple quotes....let's see who can figure out how to bypass the "too many emotions rule". This reply has 45 :D

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

I missed the lab lady who thought I was like 10 and was so gentle and kind....she gave me a lollipop and a barbie sticker.

:lol: You do look like you're 10 huh? Never really realized it....

Not this ogre in a lab coat...all she gave me was a big bruise. :angry:

:lol:

How scary is that??!! I'm kind of freaked out....I dont like her and my arm's already sore. How am I gonna climb rocks on Friday with sore arms. :(

You'll be ok ;) You should mostly be using your legs....and your arms to help me (belay)...hehe speaking of an ogre :huh:

I saw Grease on Broadway when it was first out in 1970's. The movie diverted from the original play in a lot of ways and for me the movie was not the "real thing." Grease 2 just underscored how Hollywood can take a good idea an ruin it with additional parts.

The Broadway show had the "Sandra Dee" song but also made other references to being naughty as a teenager in the 1950's. The movie only alludes to this but the play was "out there." (I am not advocating being naughty as a teenager, just reporting how Broadway had more flexibility as there are really no censors like movies (have/had).

One of my favorities, off Broadway and it's gone now after like 30 some odd years was The "Fantastiks".

I did see a Bob Fosse thing that I absolutely hated and couldn't wait until it was through but I don't remember the name of it, it wasn't Chicago. I would have left in the middle of it but I was with some relatives who were from out of town and felt it would have confused them to leave them in theatre alone.

Oh, I love Grease! My daughter loves it too & I guess it is okay that she watches it because at her age she has no idea about the real meaning about some of the songs & what they are saying. I took her to see a play of Grease & she had a blast. I went with my mom, grandma, daughter, aunt & great aunt. Kind of a girls thing & we all loved it.

I'm a huuuuuuge Grease fan! Yeah, the dirtiest part in Greas the movie that alluded to the dirtier play, was when John Travolta ran around with saran wrap...it was a larger part of the song in the play. I won't say what the saran wrap is for, but it ain't playing safe! :ph34r:

I won't watch Grease 2 on principle, just like I won't watch any Bring it On sequels...it ruins the first one. Actually, any movie/show that tries to come back with a different cast is just bad news :rolleyes:

OH

I went back to the hair lady yesterday...she tried to put another color over it to even it out (my natural color, actually) and it looks worse. So I have to go get it stripped today, and then wait 24 hours to color it again :blink: DH's grandparents are coming into town tomorrow, too. Not good. :ph34r:

Dave,

Why you always sneaking around at night? :lol:

Chelsea,

Sorry about your hair.....that sounds like a nightmare.

Julie,

Your hair is beautiful, why would you need to highlight it. Chelsea's was beautiful at her wedding too....I guess I'll never understand why people want to mess with hair that is already beautiful.

Donna,

How's the chocolate (I'm so said I need to refrain) withdrawal going?

I'm currently watching the Price is Right.

It has inspired me. Rachelville needs a field trip. I think we should go to the Price is Right.

Everybody buys/makes a celiac t-shirt. Wear them to the show. We create awareness. We have a blast.

Maybe somebody would even get on and bob would ask what celiac is??

I'm feeling a little verclempt.......here's a topic......rachelville on the price is right.......ok discuss.....

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
