Whoa!!!.....Something really WEIRD going on here....big changes...BIG CHANGES....

WTH??! Please tell me I'm not the only one constantly getting Richard's initial post from almost 400 pages ago, and an inability to go back a page, and a long list of "posts from this thread", and ALL KINDS OF WEIRD CHANGES! ...Is this a Thanksgiving trick? AAh! Scott's tricking the Commonwealthers! :o

OMG Nicola - been meaning to comment on that SCARY and fierce creature in your av - WTH is that? it's not what you're eating for, er, for American Thanksgiving is is? ;)

Tis a real mole (NOT a cartoon one like Beverly's ;) )

:P Good to know. Are centre, theatre and the like allowable? Having spelled those words the commonwhealth way my entire life I still find them kind of weird.

This was actually discussed some pages back and it was felt that the use of RE instead of ER gave the thread a touch of class, a certain 'Je ne sais quoi' ;)

and could someone PLEASE tell me why in theee hell everyone makes a green bean casserole? that disgusting kind w/ the....canned green beans, cream-of-something soup and the crap on top? what is that, dehydrated ersatz canned onions?

Ughhhh!!! Yuck - I don't like it!! :o

oh and while we're speaking of tradition.......why the marshmallows in teh canned yams? :huh: (I would hurl upon taste of that item - those yams actually do taste like vomit, I think)

I repeat - I don't like it!!! :o

...BUT..We also have the cranberry sauce with Turkey....I don't mind that - the mearest amount.

Whoa!!!.....Something really WEIRD going on here....big changes...BIG CHANGES....

PANIC STATIONS!!!!!!!

Have you tried the old trick of clicking the 'Options' tab (top right hand corner) then clicking on 'Standard'

or maybe it was a Thansgiving trick just for you :unsure:

HAPPY THANKGIVING to all you peeps (Green emoticon for Sarah please) :D .....eat up now - you're going to need your energies for tomorrow's wrestling shopping at the dreaded Mall of Doom :lol:

jerseyangel Proficient

Hi Nikki--

I won't be anywhere NEAR a mall tomorrow. ;) I'll be busy painting my living room....

Green bean casserole--ugh....always made me sick (wonder why :huh: )....canned sweet potatoes--why????? I made the most delicious sweet potatoes: cut up fresh ones, cooked, drained, drizzled with pure maple syrup, a little Smart Balance, sea salt and cinnamon. Now THERE"S a sweet potato! :P

We do a fresh cranberry-orange relish. Just fresh cranberries and 2 oranges put through the Cusinart with some sugar--let it sit overnight in the fridge to let all the juices "marry"--yum :P

Sarah--gawd....hope the pukies leave your house soon! Good luck with the cooking and pies, and hopefully by tomorrow, ya'll will feel more like eating. :)

Thank you, Nikki! This unexplainable switch from "standard" to "linear" in my controls has made me realize how much this thread has taken over my emotional life. All morning, as I taught, I kept thinking, "Mygawd....what if this is now the way I'll have to be communicating with my Silly brethren?" Anyways, all fixed. Again, Thanks, Nikki...

So, Gus has been shaking his head a lot...took him to the dreaded, cha-ching vet, and...now, Tom, be aware, if you were planning on stopping by my place in Ottawa, you cannot right now....Gus has YEAST in his ears. Gawd. Where can yeast NOT grow?! Ah! Tom, it's yeti you're allergic to. So, c'mon by! :lol:

shoot, she figured it out, trickery over. :lol:

OMG yeast in his ears.......... :huh: these darned pets.....they come up with the most interesting things to torture their owners.

Um...........no one's really been acknowledging the fact that our parade has just fallen apart for this importnat day...........what happened? who's in charge? Where did our extras and main players go? :huh: But, I'm not kidding you, I swear I saw our Yeti in the crowd, wandering about, in a pilgrim costume, looking bereft and confused. Wasn't The Hoff to meet him at the airport? oh THAT was our big mistake..............

:lol:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just might make stab at another gluten-free cake today. egads......... :ph34r:

Forgot to mention while on the subject of Gus and his infected ear, that I have a very serious warning to put out to all of you hovering around the 1000 post mark: Be ready. The rumours are true...bodily fluids on a large scale will enter your life (I haven't been able to determine what decides which kind of fluid), but whichever one it is, it is heinously horrid. At the vet's, the technician, who must have a knack for these things, managed to unleash the most gunk and earwax I've ever seen come out of an ear. Be afraid...

What a LOVELY topic as you all enjoy your Thanksgiving meal! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I can't believe you somehow managed to acquire earwax. That has to be a bodily fluids coup.

OMG that is disgusting..........but please note, Em, that I did learn on freerice.com (thank you Jess) that the correct term for ear wax is CERUMEN.

:P

I'm thinking blow torch to singe the outside so inside stays all pink? That's how they show it on tv...

Our poor yeti....what became of him, on that transatlantic flight? Perhaps he resembles Mr. Bin Laden more than we cared to believe...awesome height, staggering facial hair, speaking no English....I don't believe I've ever seen an insane look in our yeti's eyes, however. A feral kind of wild look, perhaps, but not lunatic.

Is our poor beast being held in a custody cell at Le Guardia, or JFK? Maybe he's already on his way to Guantanemo Bay!! :blink::o

NOOOOOOOOOO silly, I forgot to clarify!!!!!!!!!! I saw him IN THE CROWD of the Macy's parade, looking for us, the sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

I think he was with Mary Kate. Or was it Ashley? :huh:

Well, heading out the door to my brother's. I made a chocolate cake, Bob's REd Mill mix, and the batter tasted like bitter poison. :lol: They are just about to come out of the oven, and they shall remain here, where I am pretty sure they'll become dog biscuits. :huh:

Susie's baking failure number two. :lol: Good thing there'll be plenty of treats for the normal people to eat.

HI AMANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Drive by.................

Welcome JoyfulM.... has anyone told you about Hell Week here? You GET the yeti and have to measure his inseam and take him shopping with you on Black Friday for new pants!!!!!!!!!! :D

It's funny..........really!

Janet- your new pup is so cute and leggy! Angus approves!

Bev! Why do you keep driving by? You must park and stay for a while...though I think I know your very wise strategy: if you just slow down, but don't brake completely, the vortex isn't quite able to suck you in. :lol:

Hi Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving! How was everyone's turkey day?

The wind has picked up here and it shaking my house. Anyway, the temp was 60 here today which for November in PA at all is nuts but I was in North Eastern PA so 60 was out of this world. Tonight the winds got strong and the temp has plummeted.....so winter is back...

I am watching Ugly Betty now and then I will tune into the Office.

Hope all my sillies had a good day! How many of you are venturing out tomorrow?

elye Community Regular

We had a snowstorm here today! 25 centimetres (about 12 inches). Winter is suddenly here, that's for sure. However, it is supposed to be 7 degrees on the weekend (upper 40's), so I guess it'll all be gone...why on earth did I spend an hour shovelling? :rolleyes:

My mom (Northeastern PA) has a surprise snow fall on Monday, about 7 inches, she said she shoveled 3 different times, since it would stop, clear up and then start again.

Good evening sillies :D

I'm back from a very nice day at our son's--there were 10 of us there....I brought my dinner of turkey, Julie's cornbread stuffing and sweet potatoes. I was a little leary of CC since there was a ton of food around, but so far, so good.

Hope everyone had a good day--whether you celebrated Thanksgiving or not. I couldn't go to bed without checking this thread :lol: Gawd!

jerseyangel Proficient

Oh--I forgot--the weather....

In New Jersey, it was warm all day--about 70. When we left, it was about 65 and an hour later when we got home, it was 44 here :o Can't believe the difference.

Mornin', Sillies!

Just doing my morning check-in...I'm at, what, 2020 posts, and the bodily fluids STILL abound. DD had a wicked nosebleed last night for no reason...wouldn't stop. I'm rushing around grabbing kleenexes and shoving her to the sink, muttering, "What IS this? I'm over 1000 posts...When the hell does it all stop?!"...My daughter, through an enormous wad of tissue, quietly says, "Mom....you need to stay out of your celiac computer world for a while". Sigh... Gus's ear has amazing stuff coming out of it STILL. And he's still shaking his head, looking at me pathetically.

Have a great breakfast, everyone! :lol::lol::P

Morning Emily!!!!

I am at work today, the hospital is quiet. In my office there is just 4 of us. Our hospital, patient wise, is full and it is a large hospital.

We have decided we are doing very little today, so I will probably post a lot :). We are going to clean the office, and I want to reorganize my desk, and do other things. Sounds like fun, eh? I am still full from yesterday :):):)

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you 
    • Colleen H
      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease". 
    • trents
      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
    • trents
      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
