Yes, its the Strawberry that drops because that area in H-burg is called Strawberry Square :)

Um.......I thought you were talking about a cocktail called Strawberry Drops. :lol: are you saying that a giant strawberry comes down, like Dick Clark's descending crystal orb? :blink:

Just think of the mess . . . unless . . . perhaps . . . it falls on some shortcake, or ice cream, or whip cream . . . OK, maybe we should look into this.

Wasn't there a doll affiliated with the Care Bears named Strawberry Shortcake? Sounds like a job for the Care Bears, if you ask me..... :lol:

:P both........

OMG - I am trying a new trick with my old Stinker. See, all she does now, every single day of her life, is stay in bed the ENTIRE day, comes out only once or twice to eat and pee..... my poor baby. :( Then........she wants to go outside at night.......and then.......she barks every 90 seconds to five minutes.....so JUST when you're drifting off to sleep - a big bark.

So mommy has decided we're not going to play this reindeer game any more......Stinker has been SHUT OUT of her bedroom......I'm making her stay out here with us all day and keeping her awake. :lol: She keeps asking to go into her bed but I am NOT letting her.

Ah, the joys of mothering a psychotic, panic-stricken dingo. :blink::lol:

Question for Peter . . . Do bald men wash there head with soap or shampoo?

I'll take this one, St. Peter, as I have one of these in my household. He has recently switched to soap, as he now has very little left on top and he's only washin' skin, now. Oh, to be young again....

He does sport a beard, however...I wonder if he uses shampoo on it? Hmm. Peter, does he?

Sarah! Start posting! We've missed you!

Indeed, it took quite some time to catch up! Thank you all for noticing I was gone!!! :wub: Of course there's been body fluids involved- there always is at my house. :rolleyes: Christmas glutenings for everyone- <_< - but never so bad as to ruin Christmas. I have to say, catching up on all your posts made me want it to be Christmas all over again! *sigh*

Let's see if I can remember everything I wanted to comment on (not a chance.)

Bhutto assassination- too sad and discouraging. :(

Hitting a deer- scary!

Wooster-sauce- good stuff!

Stuffed shells- YUM, any left over?

Inebriated sillies all around- :lol:

Turkey gravy- I found 365 gluten-free turkey gravy at Whole Foods!!! I paid ridiculous amounts of $$ for 4 jars, and it did NOT turn into hot gravy jello upon re-heating.

umm....

Susie falling through a hedge forwards- Heinous! What was that dog chasing... reindeer?

Well.... one more bite of chocolate, and I just might barf. Time for Sarah to go on a serious after-holidays-DIET!!! It's been raining for days, but is supposed to clear up tomorrow. I think I'll work on the gardens. Also must get one of my tractor-owning neighbors to come over and till up the big garden.

It's almost time to get ready for early spring planting! Onions, carrots, salad greens can all go in in 2 months. And it takes me FOREVER to get everything ready by myself, as my hubby has no interest in gardening until it's time to eat. :lol:

Well, I'm off. Happy New Year's Eve Eve! lol

SARAH! :rolleyes: and there she is, she's found her way back to Sillyville!!!!!!!

OMG the gravy success! what a coup! So....must look into this 365 gravy.......

and you are NOT kidding on teh diet!!!!!! :o I found these extreeeeeeeeeeeemely evil french salt caramels at Trader JOe's. Went through three things of them in less than two weeks. ANd then there was all the other candy, and the homemade marshmallows. :ph34r: so, I think I am only going to have sugar now in my coffee and oatmeal, and maybe maple syrup on the pancakes once or twice a week. Other than that - NO SUGAR ALLOWED. I am a candy addict.....and it makes me quite tired when I consume lots o' sugar. BAH!!!!!!!!!

Between the candy, the lunar (read: menstrual :ph34r: ) cycle night sweats, and a senile, barking dingo, I am exhausted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mellow:

OMG Emily - yes, what does your husbnad use to wash his beard? Um, BTW, have you checked to see if there are any wee hoglets nestled therein? :blink::lol:

okay....must head out now....... procuring New Year's eve snacks and movies.......

mygawd, I have REALLY got to get a life........ :huh:

Well....There WERE. I've been having trouble figuring how to say this to everyone...but, yes, there were messy hedgehogs in DH beard. But, um...hedgehog babies seem to be something of a delicacy in the diet of...yetis. So, he's eaten quite well. Thank gawd standard poodles are not to his liking, or cats. :o

Guess we've got him for New Years Eve, then he could go up north with MIL, unless anyone would like him for a stay. Susie, he hasn't been with you, yet. Or Tom--but I think I remember an allergy, there...

Sarah!! He could help with the pre-gardening chores!

Carla's no young Robert Redford...are you, Carla? ;):lol:

Uh, wrong hardware to even pretend to be! :lol:

:lol: Crate and Barrel for sure!

Susie- We did our honeymoon in the Finger Lakes, it was so nice up there. We didn't get to any wineries though since we were short on time.

My wine drinking at dinner was more than usual. I was ok sitting, but then I had to go upstairs to go to the bathroom. I was wearing this nice plaid skirt and sweater and my Mary Janes with the clunky heels...I tripped over their bathroom scale and almost landed face first into the toliet!

That wine was very much like candy for me....Thankfully MIL was drinking just as much...

OMG- I was trying to catch up but I saw this and had to stop because I couldn't stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see it now in slow motion......imagine if you HAD landed face first in the toilet? And I like your MIL very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kurt and I ran away for a few days and you know what? He stole my Hasslehoff book and didn't give it back! I think he has a secret crush :P OMG-the writing in it, even to my Lymied brain , is PAINFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And just in case I get lost again.......

Enjoying some nice winter weather right now, sleet snow and rain, John and I got a copy of Roller Coaster Tycoon today and spent the night playing with that....quite fun!

CarlaB Enthusiast

Well, Morgan and I turned on the TV to watch Desperate Housewives .... it wasn't on, but The Sound of Music is ... so, we're watching it, commercials and all, even though we own the DVD :blink: What a contrast ... Desperate Housewives vs. Sound of Music, LOL.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I love the Sound of Music. Little Leah and I always watch that movie all the time.

Just pooping in, as Bev would say :lol::lol:

Sarah, so sorry about the glutenings :( HEINOUS! Hope you guys get to feeling better soon!

I'm jealous of your gardening, if I lived closer I would come and help you so I could learn how to do it :lol:

Speaking of candy, I have a weakness for toffee around the holidays, there's this little locally owned candy shop that makes the best to die for buttery little squares of toffee goodness dipped in fine chocolate and nuts.....I ate many between Thanksgiving and Christmas :ph34r:

And OMG, did you notice Crate and Barrell, or was it Williams Sonoma...can't rember, had MARSHMALLOWS wrapped in CARAMEL??? Genius!! I stayed far away from these however.

I also LOVE Sound of music, such a great movie

Of course there's been body fluids involved- there always is at my house. :rolleyes: Christmas glutenings for everyone- <_< - but never so bad as to ruin Christmas.

Good Morning, Amanda! :)

Well, me and old musicals...can't live without 'em. But I have to admit, SOM is my least favorite. I've tried and tried over the years...sigh. Really good, historically gripping story, but the music...bah. Love Julie's yodelling, however, and the marionnette scene is terrific... :D

I am ill!! <_<

NO - really it's Man flu....achey joints,temperature & sweats (wait!!.... :unsure: ..is that my age?? :lol: )

Oh, Nikki...sorry you're ill. :( It's only man flu if you whine and complain like a baby. ;)

BEV!!!!

{{Sigh}}....The hills fill my heart with the sound of muuuuuu-zik.....

My heart wants to sing every song it hearrrrrrs!

Good Morning Emily!

How are you on the last day of 2007?

Darn210 Enthusiast

OK, if we're voting . . . I like SOM . . . favorite song is Edelweiss.

Speaking of candy, I have a weakness for toffee around the holidays, there's this little locally owned candy shop that makes the best to die for buttery little squares of toffee goodness dipped in fine chocolate and nuts.....I ate many between Thanksgiving and Christmas :ph34r:

But NOW we're talking candy . . . absolutely all time favorite is toffee. If it is around, I can not stay away from it.

Seems a little early for gardening. Does that mean that you've already got you Christmas stuff down, Sarah? And has anybody heard if the special adhesive garland (ie, duct tape) was all that Alex needed to finish off her tree?

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

And shame on me....I bought another box of the chocolate gummi bears yesterday.....I hid them though after I had a few...

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!
