I unplug my lap top too. Supposedly if the computer is on a surge protector it is ok....but computers are so expensive I don't take the chance. I had one get fried once....not fun!

Yeah, but surge protectors only protect from so many surges ... you wouldn't want yours to be plugged in for that one too many.

PLUS, a direct hit by lightening, and everything plugged in is toast! Our old house got struck a couple months after we moved .... everything had to be replaced ... washer, dryer, electronics, .... everything! A beam in the attic vapoUrized!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Gawd! :lol:

Susie--yes, you must unplug immediately!!!! about 5 years ago, our house got hit with lightening and it blew out our modem. There was smoke in the wall, the fire dept was called, a mess.

Ok everyone....the stupid award for the day goes to.... (drumroll)----me <_<

I've eaten 2 boxes of Lesser Evil Popcorn in the last week :ph34r: Beyond the obvious glutony, I have been feeling sick--digestive distress, middle of the night anxiety, and the tell-tale ache in the back of my head.

I'm thinking it had to be something else--all the holiday treats and all. Today, I'm still sick, so I go through everything-- mentally-- I've eaten or used different in the last week or so. The hair conditioner checked out.....so I go to call the popcorn company and see in small letters under the large allergy warning "made in a facility that runs wheat".

Crap :angry: I missed it completely.

That'll teach me to use my reading glasses when I shop B)

WOOOHOOOHOOOO!!!

I'm envisioning a new crown made of pipets, with some sort of umbrella system to keep the rain off.

Maybe a robe made of plastic biohazard bags??

This caused me to chortle and snort suddenly...such a great word, and wasted on such a plebian experience. The Arrival of Menses Today...sounds like a royal entourage alighting, or a new historical epoch... :rolleyes::lol:

*snort*

Yes - - 'tis a plebian (and utterly wretched) event indeed........

VORTEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG - I don't even KNOW if lightning is expected - HOW EXCITING! - but lots of power outages. must.........turn............off............computer................

:huh:

Vortex indeed....Susie is hoping she could keep in contact with us whilest the storm bears down upon her....we are her security blanket....be lost without us :)

:rolleyes: Yay! Yes you are! Amanda, set up my room, I"m on the way to chocolate-town....with two ersatz dingos in tow!

WOOOHOOOHOOOO!!!

excellent - but, what are pipets?

ALL HAIL QUEEN JESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now we have a scientist as queen........this could behold many interesting things for us......... :lol:

My dear Janet - you are not quite discerning the canine attitudes accurately - - Stinker is partially to completely senile now - - mostly deaf and losing vision - - so SHE, in this photo, doesn't even really know what's going on. :blink:

Annie? Her ears are almost always down in the submission pose for photos......I have to PUSH her off of me and tell her to stay - - she lunges for the humans every time. Annie is all about the LUVVVVVVVVVVV :wub: She really is the most beguiling and cutest dog ever - even Gail said so......that was huge.

gotta go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I have to do a credit check on a potential renter and go to Starbucks for a latte and I MISS PAGE 500!!!

Congrats your highness Jess!

The renter was bad .... why do people pay me $20 to pull a credit report and not believe I'll do it???? So, I call her supposed landlord who is not the owner of the house but a representative for the "out of town owner" and she hangs up on me when I ask the owner's NAME! I mean, if you have such a bad landlord reference and are going to have a friend lie for you, at least tell the friend the LANDLORD'S NAME! It is information that can be found on the internet, LOL.

It gets entertaining ..... I guess they don't expect to get caught.

Mark has had similar experiences when he does background checks on potential employees--also when they submit to a drug screen. It boggles the mind :blink:

It truly does. If they're going to lie, they really need to be better at it ... I mean, she tells my hubby she needs to be out today because of a divorce, then she tells me she's having trouble collecting child support .. which is it? Is she just moving out, or has she been trying to collect child support for the past year? :huh:

The sad part is, MOST people lie .... so if you're going to own rental properties, be sure you have someone experienced teach you to do a background check! I used to manage a 300 unit complex in Houston ... the turnover was about 30 units per month, so I've had a lot of experience with it!

Yes, this has happened photographically with my parents, as well...getting senile, deaf and blind...and yet when I snap a photo their ears are up and forward, eyes looking alert and attentive...

They just don't know what's going on.... :lol::lol:

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      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.
