EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jackie- I BURST out laughing! That was a freaking riot!

It reminded me that last night we tried to watch Snakes on a Plane because for months after we heard that it was coming out, my hubby and I would walk around imitating Samuel L. Jackson "There's Motherf*&%^n SNAKES ON THIS PLANE!"

We were so psyched to watch it and just laugh and about thirty minutes in my hubby couldn't take it anymore (it was after those MF snakes bit a guy in his hoo-hoo :P

Unfortunately, snakes are not a friend to me either. Previously living in the country, I had told my small son to let me know if he ever saw a snake in the yard, and NOT mess with it. He came screaming in the back door one day that a snake was on the carport. Well, they really creeped me out, but I figured I needed to do something. (Just want you to know that just typing this has the hair on my arms standing up!) So I looked outside and OMG there it was, about 8-10 inches long, a baby if you will. I couldn't find a garden hoe, so I got a broom, and commenced to beatin the tar out of it. You see, people that fear snakes, even tiny ones figure, the only good snake is a dead one. It was pretty ridiculous though, a grown woman having a "hissy" fit, (pun intended,) my child screaming, and me with a broom in hand just wallupin the snot out of this little snake. Do you have any idea how hard it is to kill a snake with a broom? I finally did it in, to only find out later it was a baby copperhead, so I felt I did the right thing, and we disposed of it properly. Their venom is even more powerful than the adult, I have heard. So when I hear that old song, "I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes," it brings back such unfond memories!!

OMG - I would have jumped on top of the nearest table/car/tree (with child of course :blink: ) and waited for someone to save me!!! :o:o:o

Maybe it's due to our lack of endowment for tassel-twirling abilities. I am, of course, only speaking for myself and Susie Q. :P

Those videos ARE classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mommagoose I see you!

I am currently watching the rest of Snakes on a Plane without hubby.....OMG...so dumb but there is one redeeming scene where the effeminate male flight attendant puts one of the snakes in the microwave and says "Who's your bi-ach now?"

Otherwise...useless! the snakes are SO fake.

That is a seriously cute puppy. I'm way too allergic to dogs to ever have one, but I love playing with other people's.

He's so sweet...but I just spent half an hour cleaning out my car as he got car sick! :( Poor baby! He's so sweet. His name is Angus and he welcomes you to the thread with kisses!

Did you know there are dogs that have hair, not fur, that many people don't react to? Wheaton Terriers (so cute and peppy!) and standard poodles and I think sheepdogs.

CHUCK NORRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .
    • Francis M
      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.
    • Scott Adams
      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!
    • Scott Adams
      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum.
