No No No . . . no one wants that :wacko:. Not that it will make any difference. Tom, you're a calculating sort and I suspect that the anecdotes will take off exponentially!!! (What do you think? Not nearly as smooth, huh?)

Bravo!! :D I say WELL DONE!

Seems we've found a common denominator, and I appreciate the reciprocation! :lol:

<I can't beLIEVE I didn't think of "difference"! :angry: grrrrr>

But, to sum up, we're still staying away from math anecdotes, right? Tales of hexadecimal just don't even APPROACH silly, (for all n from 1 to infinity)

Maybe I asked this before, but we have new blood now. Anyone remember 80s band the Meat Puppets? I think I'm seeing the guitarist's kid's band again tonight. The twerp is WAY too talented.

Parents named him Elmo :rolleyes:

I'm much more gooder with numbers.

Well then maybe you (Janet) can provide some Maths (English as the English speak please!) as I am absolutely cr#p with numbers :lol:

And some days (or for you, Emily, somedays) you guys make my brain hurt. :blink:

Kind of obligatory with this thread :blink:

tried it w/ the left and could do it (I'm left-handed) but could not, as predicted, w/ the right. Did not try it ANTI clockwise.

I am a leftie also but either way my poor wee brain goes into meltdown :lol:

Just makes you SOUND smart if you use words like "glottals" and "aspirated fricatives" :lol:

Doesn't it just?

No idea what they are or do but they sound bloomin' marvellous :unsure:.............they sound like maybe something the cat would throw up :lol:

''What's wrong with your cat??''

''Oh she's only aspirated some fricatives again!!''

Nikkeigh, is that hat only available in the UK? would LOVE to get that for my wacky brother...

'Tis a US site m'dear.

AND a mind-numbing amount of excel spreadsheets. :lol:

:unsure::unsure: ...scaring me.....don't say those words :unsure: ......

Oh, and HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO LYNNE !!!!!!!!! :D:D

Hey, Lynne! I've now shoved my way into this Tickle Me madness...I can't keep up half the time :rolleyes: .

So, I'm noticing a number of southpaws around here, which proves interesting. I'm VERY left-sided (hand, eye, ear, foot, you name it). Who else? I bet we all are, as lefties are the true nuts of any society. :P

LOL! Southpaws are the American slang for left handed people.

I think perhaps it originates from baseball. Leftie pitchers are called southpaws.......

Early ball fields were built so that home plate faced east. That way, the late afternoon sun wouldn't be in the batter's eyes, a dangerous situation when a baseball is thrown in your direction. The pitcher faced west, and if he was left-handed, the ball would be thrown with his south-sided hand--his "south paw". Thank you for that info, Dad (he's more than just a pretty face)! :lol:

Emily, I had never heard why lefties were called southpaws, that's great!

Carla, I checked your profile and found no birthdate listed. I couldn't tell if my hubby helped put you through college or not. It's safe to say that he helped make more than a few car payments at your dad's house.

If those are your kids, my dad was probably retired by the time your hubby started drinking beer! I was born in 1963. :)

Maths

Seriously, do you guys really put an s on math?

Yep. I am pretty ambidexterous though ... is that spelled right? Most things I can do with either hand ... I am better at writing with my left hand, but am capable in a pinch to write something short with my right hand ... with practice, I would be able to use it pretty well.

Factoring in that math anecdotes have been protested, perhaps we should just let this go for the remainder of the thread. In addition, I would hate to be the cause of any division amongst the ranks as I do so enjoy the banter. Plus . . . ow, ow, brain pain.

How are you left-eyed unless you are a pirate and wear an eye-patch? Ahoy there, Emily, are you a pirate?

I'm right-handed. My brother is a lefty and was the biggest practical joker in the family, although my whole family is nuts - comes from my mom's side. I had two uncles that tried to potty train a goat and he fell through the hole (waaaaaay back when they had outhouses).

If those are your kids, my dad was probably retired by the time your hubby started drinking beer! I was born in 1963. :)

You're a year older than we are . . . and he (the hubby) didn't wait until he was 21 to start drinking beer. Of course at that time, it probably wasn't the high end stuff like Miller Lite. :P

Whoa!!! There's all KINDS of cool new little faces for me to use! A whole treasure trove that I did not know about ^_^ !

Very early on (university days), I learned to do damn near anything whilst holding said glass of wine, including going to the bathroom. Well, I didn't want to put it down and forget where I'd left it! :rolleyes:

Well, I'm strongly righty for everything, but I won't be surprised if this bizarro-world thread has the RIGHTY as the 10% minority.

I'm pretty sure I know why & how, but even more sure you'd rather not read the paragraph it might take to explain it. :)

Appalachia & supine in such proximity! Is that even legal? :wacko:

But the "too much food"? Out somewhere? Omg sometimes I can't wait to be JUST gluten-free and go places where I can't help but have "too much food" . . . .

Details?

Men are happier!

**************

Men Are Just Happier People What do you expect from such simple creatures?

Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care

of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You

can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can

wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world

is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom

because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which

way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character.

Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when

you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically

expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all

the time.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own

jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If

someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than

enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to

see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original

color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to

shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big

hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons.

You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails

with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a

mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in

25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

LOL!

I really truly expected there to be at least ONE I could dispute, but it's all true.

Of course, we would never frown on women in white t-shirts at a water park.

Hmmm would it be common in a country where even regular beaches are full of topless women? Or maybe that's rumor crossed w/ wishful thinking. Wait! No it's not!! I've been to a few beaches in Asia where Euros and some asians were topless. Hmmmmmm :)

Wondering who would "When in Rome" it if at such a beach - say . . .on a Greek island? :unsure:

Well, you were looking for what you could dispute just a little while ago, and only you can tell us if you're worthy of an upgrade ... and do you really think it is an upgrade?

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
