Always amazed at how much I miss over the weekend. Here in Seattle it's dark and has been pouring rain since yesterday. My driveway is three inches of standing water. My dirt/gravel driveway....

The weather is very cold and windy here...we went out for lunch and it was cold the whole way there, and we ate at this old hotel and it was not warm inside at all....I am still cold 2 hrs later.

Yesterday I made homemade soup for dinner and that is dinner tonight. I am looking forward to cuddling with my cat underneath a blanket and vegging the rest of the night. :)

That's great :D

Closet gets done today!!!!!!!

Does that mean the funky closet lady comes back again?

I will try to get a few pictures scanned in today and into a new avatar :):):) It is so exciting looking at them, there are things I don't remember from that day already, it was a big blur. It will be nice when the DVD is done so I can really see what it was all like. :)

Congratulations Tom - you wanted to be Lord Tom, right? Earl of Silly? Duke of Mirth?

Here's another Grandpa story:

Grandpa went to a farm show and bought an electric chicken-picker . . . that would be the latest and greatest technology for taking the feathers off of a (dead) chicken. Grandma was majorly PO'd because they didn't have electricity yet - and it was over a year before they did. On a side note, the chicken-picker still works.

Informal Poll: How many here have ever dressed a chicken? (For all you city types, that means take all the feathers off, not dress it in cute designer outfits and put it in a purse to carry with you.)

OMG I'm actually tearing up a bit from the laughter at my misreading it at first as

"How many here have ever dressed AS a chicken? "

:lol: :lol: :lol:

So I'm imagining what a chicken-suit would require and that the elastic used to keep a beak in place could get uncomfortable.

:lol::lol:

Would love to see more pics from the wedding--your current avatar is beautiful! My wedding day was a blur, too. There were so many little things I actually forgot until the pictures came back.

No, no closet lady! The installers (2 guys) are in there now doing their thing. I can't wait to put everything away once and for all--we have clothes all over the bedroom and on the dining room table. Ugh :angry:

All hail the new King!! :D

I've never dressed a chicken (God forbid :lol: ), but my dad tells me that his mother used to. She would actually wring it's neck and then dress it. I'm way too much of a wuss for that :P

I never really knew her, she passed away when I was 4.

Ummmm . . . now that you've gone and done it . . . and can't take it back . . . just wanted to let you know that you are NOT inheriting a crown and sceptor. You are indeed inheriting a chicken costume. Yes, complete with beak. Did you think it was that uncomfortable, Amanda?

Emporer Thomas I! How interesting that we have two kings now. I'm certain that in the history of the world, this has never happened before within a monarchy. Literally anything can, and does, happen here...

Hey! I'm a long-time subscriber! I cannot believe I've found a fellow GGQ follower! I love the puzzle page, the "find the missing modifiers" and my particular favorite, "unscramble the participial phrases". What fun! And that latest centrefold in the faUll issue!...it was a detailed shot of a split infinitive clearly dominating a subordinate clause...I cannot leave any issues lying around the house, as I've got two kids. :lol::lol:

Ptaum said verilarious... :lol:

<_< So THAT'S why MY contract has a handwritten (bubble-gum pink Crayon naturally) addendum in several languages, each w/ a different translation.

Everything from

"At end of term, and/or in the event that _______'s reign is suspended, all material assets (heretofore referred to as M.A., which consists of, but is not limited to, bank accounts, portfolios, real properties (and their contents), royal doodads and an original zipper-and-all copy of the Stones' Sticky Fingers album."

----to----

"We keep da stuff"

You are indeed inheriting a chicken costume. Yes, complete with beak.

:o igetachickencostumeigetachickencostumeigetachickencostume!!!!!!!!! :D:o :o

We really should spring for a new beak.

Some of the new Finnish ones have TWO or MORE types of foam padding and can practically be custom contoured!

But no need to get the one w/ the satellite radio options cuz I'm just NOT paying for radio!! AM/FM will be fine. :P

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
