(shiver) :o

It's really not terribly cold here--mid 30's. The last I heard, any snow we do get will turn to rain later. Just in time to make for a sloppy rush hour.

OMG - where IS everyone......so quiet todya.......have we all lost our collective mojos???????

This has been the saddest day here all week, except for sunday........WTH? Am wondering if I got mildly glutened.....had some strange poop yesterday.........and today, sad, tired, mojo-less......good Lord......just went to Trader Joe's, was talking to Mike, the manager - we alwyas have great chats about this and that (he wants to set me up w/ his best friend).....so then, this very attractive, athletic-looking 50-y-old-ish man - whom I'd been eyeing in the frozen foods section - walks up to talk to Mike about wine (and Mike knows him, greeted him by name). And what did I do??????????? :blink: somehow got tongue-tied, lost brain cells, and mumbled something about "oh, I"m drinking the $2 cab these days........."

:blink:

mygawd, of all the things to say.......it fell like a lead balloon and there was just really nowhere to go with it.

needless to say, he did not find me charming.

:lol:

But I told Mike about Stinker - he had actually given me a FREE bottle of some glucosamine stuff about a month ago, so knew about her condition........maybe he'll tell the cute guy something about me being devoid of personality JUST FOR TODAY as I was grieving?

:lol:

We can only hope.

<idiot-girl-who-no-longer-knows-how-to-talk-to-attractive-men....probably because there is such a deArth of them around here>

Susie... Annie going to Tika's house- that's brutal :( And maybe you'll run into the cutie at TJ's again... you never know.

I ran into someone from this board at Whole Foods a few months ago. Kara's Mom, fairly new. We had a good chat and I showed her some stuff. She was really nice. It was a total surprise meeting, because I live about an hour north of this Whole Foods, and she lives even further away, in the opposite direction- but it's the closest one for both of us.

Well, we actually got a few inches of snow early this morning!!!!!!! The best snow we've had in a couple years. Our land is basically one huge hill, so the boys and I just got in from sledding. I probably won't be able to walk tomorrow. :lol: But the boys said that if I didn't sled, then I was a wimp. I couldn't let that stand!

We had the BEST time!!!

Well, Susie!! What you should have done: instead of sharing any wine preferences, share the condition of your poop. This gets them attracted immediately. :lol::lol:<_<

sledding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay, what fun!!!!!!!!! no one can NOT have fun whilst sledding, it's just magic. did it all of our lives, up at Shaver........OMG I want THAT cabin back...... :(

So......I'm such an eejit......even though I was a DOLT and said taht I drank the $2 cab, and the cute guy replies, "oh, that's no good......" and then there was awkwardness, SHEESH, I coulda said so many charming things, showing in a very subtle but engaging way, my semi-knowledge of wine (which BTW I seem to have totally forgotten).

"oh, but there's lush fruit, tastes much more complex than many $15 bottles I"ve had lately......."

"yes, but I"m not getting any of the green that I"m getting in other, pricier cabs, the fruit is surprisingly well-developed...."

"oh, no! There's a surprisingly full and velvet-y mouth feel, you ought to break down and spend the $2..."

:blink:

crap, I"m not even that charming in writing, either.

I dunno Susie, could he have been a wine SNOB? I mean, I'm all for wine appreciation... But like you, I appreciate those great cheap wines too!!!

Wine snobbery is kind of insufferable.

Just for future reference, Sarah, you're suppose to document these types of meetings with a photo that is then posted as your av!!!! Not that we don't believe you . . . (suurrrre she ran into Kara's mom)

:lol: oh you have nooooooooooo idea......working at the tasting room for four years.....mygawd, the things people would do to get US to know how much THEY knew about wine.........cannot tell you how many times I had to hear about someone's $500 (or more) bottle of Chateau Lafitte.....and blah blah blah.......and I had to VIOLENTLY SUPPRESS the urge to yell out:

"DID IT FEEL ANY DIFFERENT WHEN YOU PEED IT OUT?????????????"

...and then, when some eejit would say, " how many days of cold press maceration does this see? what's the percentage of malolactic fermentation?"

:blink:

<who gives a sh*t>

....to which I wanted to yell:

"WILL YOU LIKE IT MORE IF I TELL YOU????????????"

*snicker*

susie HAAAAAAAATES wine snobs.

Oh Yeahhhhhh?

:lol: that could have worked. He wasn't interested. Although, when I was standing at the register and looked back over to the two of them, Mike was smiling and giving me a look....but it could have been a sympathy smile over my dead dog.

I'll corner him next time. :lol:

Nope. None of those. You've almost got it, though. Something like this will have any of them like putty in your hands:

"Well....all I can say is, wine, shmine....There's a surprisingly full and velvety feel in my bowels today, and well-developed, green stools, like lush fruit..."

I know! I wish I'd had a camera with me, but I didn't. And my phone isn't one of those fancy schmancy camera phones.

I really did meet her, I promise, just ask her! :lol:

:lol: gah <there's my uncoloUrized scarlet letter>

Quite the coincidence (large, one could say, if not in the presence of that 1 ep Seinfeld char who insisted "coincidences don't have sizes") that in this morning's local paper I ran into a reference to a Men's Health mag ranking of "Best Cities for Women to Meet Men", in which my own San Jose was #1.

A momentary flash of pride at my town being #1 in anything was abruptly followed by the realization that this is BAD BAD news for ME!!

Bad bad bad . .. . . .. . <_<

But Fresno's better than Buffalo!!!!! And Toledo!!

P.S. Stupid Men's Health mag site doesn't work for me or I'd have put up the link.

Well, there are NO cute guys around here- except Brian of course, I got the last one. ;):lol:

Hmm, at first I thought that Tom referencing a Men's Health article was a little payback for all the tampon and purse conversations, but then I realized......... that's a VERY Cosmo kind of article.

Tom... are you SURE that's was from Men's Health???????

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      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.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
