Patti 's getting an electric oven!!!!!!!!!!

Embrace it Patti!!! (I too had to convert)...s'ok - don't panic :D

I'm not even a regular on this thread, and I probably didn't even do it RIGHT, lol! :P

I love the creeping, insidious effect of the capitilizing

OMG - Richard Branson on Ellen!!!!!!!! Nicola doesn't know that I am in LURVE w/ Richard Branson....... :rolleyes:

Nicola does now :lol:

Nicola thinks he is suitably rich ( :o understatement!!) for Susie.... not married :D - but long term partner :angry:

Got a horsey smile though hasn't he?????.......I suppose you could learn to live with it though :rolleyes::lol:

...hope the glutening(?) passes quickly :)

So, she'll go under our big chestnut tree out back.

Hey! Why don't we bury her with Nick the budgie, come spring in our schoolyard? I wonder if she'd like this... <_<:huh:

Great idea!!...the whole circle of life...she'll be putting some nutrients back into the ground...plant some bulbs with her!!!!!!!! ;)

Nikki, you must give me some insight, why do people HATE Heather Mills with such a passion over there?

Umm, long story really - - but can you say Gold digger, pushy fantasist , ex porn star.... :lol:

She just could never get the public to warm to her - the public were always suspicious of a young pretty thing marrying a national treasure as Paul McCartney...his own kids hated her.

...And , she really doesn't help herself harping on about how much 'charity' work she does or how much money she donated to 'charity'. <_<

Attention seeking ever so slightly mentally unstable young lady IMO

Happy Valentines Day, sillies! No celebration of Valentines HERE, lol, but I thought I'd just pass along the best wishes to all of you anyway. :P

Well, a decision has been made.....(drumroll)....I'm going with an electric stove! I know you've been on the edge of your T seats so I wanted to let you know :lol:

...

Donna--your capital U :lol: We're growing on you--admit it :D

Oh okay. :lol: Yay on your stove....that's what I'll be getting too.

I love the creeping, insidious effect of the capitilizing

Yes, amazing! Didn't realize I spent THAT much time reading over here, lol.

Hi Patti! I was wondering what you were up to today, good thing you made your choice, it will be back to regular meals again soon.

Hi Amanda! Yes--regular meals :D We are already tired of microwaved potatoes, so this morning I dug out the crock pot and am doing a pot roast. Good thing I made bread over the weekend, too ;)

That's exactly my stove, Patti. It's been great. All of your cookware has to be completely flat on the bottom, however, or they will heat unevenly and will wobble back and forth quite maddenly.

Oh!! SO exciting!! This is the longest, most gruelling race in the world...makes the Iditerod look like a stroll in the park. Year-'round training, millions of dollars in corporate sponsorships, and big money for crossing the line first. Very few women have attempted this Sisyphean feat, and I believe Michelle was the first woman to crack the top ten, last year. She did it in thirteen days.....that's in 21 hours of darkness, -40, over mountain passes and across frozen lakes, with just her and her soul mates--her fourteen beautiful huskies. Unimaginable!

Yes--flat bottom pots--that's what the very nice appliance lady said--and she also said no glass because glass scratches glass. :blink: Will I need to learn to cook all over again? :unsure::lol:

Wow--Michelle sounds like an incredible athlete. Very impressive :D

Umm, long story really - - but can you say Gold digger, pushy fantasist , ex porn star.... :lol:

She has always seemed like an attention seeker to me, too. I really don't know too much about her, but on DWTS last year when she was eliminated, she got kinda snippy.

Yay on your stove....that's what I'll be getting too.

Cool :D

Well Sillies, my hubby is still sick...I wish he would get better.

I wish he would too, Amanda :(

my sister sent to me

The Husband Store

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a

woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a

description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value

of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper

may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the

next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first

floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign

reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

"That's nice," she thinks, "but I want more."

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good

Looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking

and Help With Housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help

with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the

sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on

this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to

please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives

store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Well, methinks we may lose an inch or two of this heinous snow today...bright sun and above zero.

[Translation --- above 32F] yippee for melting!

Our mini-summer-in-Feb ended & I'm back to needing a coat :(

Oh!! SO exciting!! This is the longest, most gruelling race in the world...makes the Iditerod look like a stroll in the park.

:lol: tho I can't comment on the relative level of gruelty, the link's 1st page says 1000miles & I recall the Iditerod as 1100-some. (Onety-one-hundred)

<that was my Alaska connections talkin'> :lol:

No doubt an INCREDIBLE feat to compete in either. I bet we Americans just know about the Iditerod since it's entirely on our soil snow and it comes w/ that cute diptheria story. :blink:

Of course, I've never personally known anyone competing in either.

Em! You must be so proud!!!!

Husband store is hilarious!!!!

Happy Valentine's all!!!! :wub:

Hey!! I can, I think, comment on the comparative gruelty :lol: ....

The Iditerod is 120 miles longer, but for a couple of reasons it is an "easier" race: There is a great deal of outside help and "luxury" (wood cabins to sleep in every twelve hours or so, food stops, etc.), the terrain is not as difficult (I believe there are two mountain ranges to traverse, while the Quest has four) and the route is on fully groomed trails.

The Quest mushers, if one can imagine (!), spend most nights pitching their own tents, feeding their dogs and themselves with food that they must have packed, and sleeping on the lake or mountain. Unbelievable and crazy! They make three overnight stops at veteranairy centres, where the dogs are checked to make sure they're okay.

Okay!! WAY too much info.... :rolleyes:

Happy Valentine's all!!!! :wub:

And to you, too, Tom! You sound mojo-ish...like it's reinstalled.... :)

I'm afraid I do that, as well. :ph34r: At least it's just at home, so I don't need to worry about trying to hover and hang onto the receiver at the same time. Guess I'd need a hands-free for that... :lol:

But I have read enough up there to know the Iditarod doesn't go on groomed trails, much less fully !!!!

Still, I must agree, one would have to be just sorta wacko :wacko: to do the Iditerod and completely committable to do the YQ :lol:

Okay, okay... ;):P I'll have to email BIL, who has done the Id. Was sure he'd told me that he chose this race the first time he attempted anything huge and gruelling because of its long areas through towns with maintained trail. He's actually Michelle's handler, so he's very involved in her Quest race. They're quite a pair...both a little insane, I am certain... :lol:

EMILYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

You are officially driving me BanAnaS w/ this!!!!!!! :wacko::lol: :lol:

Yukon Quest is undoubtably insanely difficult so pooh-poohing the Iditerod is comPLETEly unnecessary!!!!!

Now we've gone from "fully groomed trails" to that they're on trails while in the handful of Alaskan villages along the 1100+ miles??????

Of course, in either race, only the lead sled has no choice but to break trail.

I'd say the biggest differences, making the YQ much more grueling, would be not having cabins at checkpoints, having to bring ALL your (and dogs') food and twice as many mountain ranges. :ph34r:

I've eaten tostadas from the one by my house at least a dozen times and - NARY a problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Heather Mills. I loved her on Dancing with the Stars last year. Is it because she is divorcing Paul?

Um - the other girls described her well. She's a bit.....sanctimonious also, methinks. Her appearance on DWTS was to build likeability in the US, I'm pretty sure - so she DID make herself likable.....

Other's reading our silliness

:lol: always cracks me up

Nicola thinks he is suitably rich ( :o understatement!!) for Susie.... not married - but long term partner

Got a horsey smile though hasn't he?????.......I suppose you could learn to live with it though

      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.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
