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...

Did you guys here the news? MC Hammer is suing the Chicken Butt Cooties. He said their song "Can't Pluck This" is copyright infringement. I think he's grasping at straws . . . just needs the money.

When I read your line I just had the funniest picture in my head....chickens dancing in their own music video with baggy pants on with loud 80's colors singing Can't Pluck This!!!

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:

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.

<_< 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

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
