I've had a good laugh with your discussion about the Damned Dalton's penal problem. Do you think he should be put in a penal colony to get his dogs in line

Now as the drool list of humans that don't include the hubby

George Eads

Paul Gross

Mark Harmon

The edible list includes

Turtles

gluten free shortbread

freshly bake gluten free chocolate chip cookies. The only problem with these cookies is they disappear to quickly. Especially when part of the batch is taken to the store and your 17 yr old employee eats them all.

Yay MICHELLE!!!!!!!

8 dogs vs 10 makes for a tough pass.

Just one more Michelle thing, then I promise I'm done till next year (and I am certain she'll be in it again....so we must all be assembled here in February '09!)......

The finish line as Michelle crossed....tears brimming over as I watched.... :):)

Unlike Pekoe's teabag accompanied burial, we decided not to include any tomato soup along with Eliot when he died but we did have a nice lunch after the burial that included tomato soup to celebrate his life!

...And I do hope you read some T.S.!

Let us go, then, you and I,

When the evening is spread out against the sky......

Yes....where is Jin? She promised she was coming back, after carefully reviewing and summarizing the 400 pages she had missed.....

And....WHERE IS OUR QUEEN? Hope all is well in Sarah's palace.....

GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The penile jokes are killing me!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Well you raise a very good point, Nikki.....this could go either way, depending on the circumstances.

For instance: Someone not comfortable with their sexuality could be in serious pee-nigh-all; whereas Mr. Dalton, by not using a sling, caused his dogs pen-e-al frostbite.

Pee-nigh-all/pen-e-al......perphect dephinition Patti!!!!

Tis a "banana hammock"

Pay close attention to definition #2 ;)

OMG Julie

EW!!! :lol: .......also note the use of the word European.

Technically Brits are part of the European Union but we are British..NEVER European.......and NO English man would wear a ''Banana Hammock....EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Tom!.....don't worry about the rambling,....we are used to it ;)

Alex!!!!!! Love the cute av (& cat) :D

WHAT?!?!?! You mean Jude and Hugh would never wear, let alone own, banana hammocks? How will Jude store his Nuggets?

The geographic stereotypes were just rude, I mean you can find a man walking on a beach or at a pool in any town wearing one....with the exception of Britain of course :blink:

Ptaum, where did you say Murphy's Ridge is? I always think about it when talking about a trip up north. Maybe I could....tread there....

I think it would be neat to see. :)

Yes it was most definitely a T.S. inspired wake, which is actually a very good cat funeral theme even when your cat's name doesn't happen to be T.S. Eliot. My grandpa instructed both Colin and I to each pick our favoUrite poem from's T.S.'s Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats to read at the burial. At the time I had no idea that the musical Cat's was based on T.S.'s work. Just one of the many times my grandpa was instrumental in my edification. I'm only now beginning to realize how thankful I am for all of the "crazy" things he wanted us to learn about and more importantly appreciate. :wub:

Murphy Ridge overlooks Independence Mine in Hatcher Pass State Park, which is 1.5-2 hrs north of Anchorage.

You're a doll to think about such things. :wub:

It might be a little out of the way. :understatement face:

Can't remember that Yukon town's name that starts w/ T, but Whitehorse to Anchor (as the locals call it) is 1167km.

The rules say Murphy Ridge can't be on official state maps or USGS quads for 5 yrs, but I hear that folks are using the name. :) god I miss him .. . . .. .

I hear you, Tom. ((((hugs)))......

Wow, this would be quite an excursion from Whitehorse, and perhaps a trick to find...but I am known to be crazily tenacious, so I've taken down your particulars and I will speak with BIL, who is a true northerner and travels regularly up to the Arctic Circle and throughout Alaska. He'll help me, I am sure, to find Murphy Ridge. :) We would likely head up to Dawson City for a few days...this gets me a little closer.

I've got a fair amount of time to think about this project.

Wouldn't it be exciting and wonderful if I could walk along Murphy Ridge?! :)

Oh you're both such dears. Thank you.

I was crying a little then decided to pop out & see my fav female blues duo, Lara & Laura. (John's in Dallas & Tony can't make it & I didn't bother trying anyone else so it's just me, again)

Laura plays guitar so effortlessly w/ great style & Lara's a masterful vocalist.

Their full band site is laraprice.com

TMI huh .. ..they're on break.

I never used to understand the term "a good cry" and now all y'all got me all womaned up. :lol:

Any tennis fans? I'm sitting a block away from an ATP event. Sampras played an exhibition vs Blake Monday & whupped 'im.

Hmm, no we don't currently sell penis slings in the store. :o

So, the dogs are trained to let it rip while running. Fine, I suppose, for the lead dog. But what does this mean for the next dog behind? :ph34r:

We don't have many sled dogs come calling as customers here in Toronto. Mind you, with the current condition of the sidewalks near our store, it could work. I wonder if Michelle could spare a couple of dogs and a sled. :huh:

I watched the video of Michelle's finish. Thanks for posting that link. :)

:) oh Em it sure would.

The Ridge is a ways up. I don't think many ascend it. Pretty bloody shear. It's not the highest peak in the Talkeetnas or in the park or prob w/in view. It IS overlooking park HQ and the old mine buildings.

Not that it wouldn't be both exciting and wonderful if you got there, but I'm sure there're .....oh. . . .approaching a zillion worthwhile excursions betw Dawson City & Hatcher Pass.

Hatcher's very popular w/ the Anchorites, as it's far easier to get above the timberline there than in the far closer Chugach mountains. But it's not exactly an international destination spot. ;)

If yer goin' to Hatcher I might meetcha there tho. :o:)

(Can't help but feel like I should apologize for straying from the silly tonight. But it's been said we shouldn't do that. So I won't :P )

Morning, All!

Hey, Amanda!! We have another early riser with us now! Good morning, JacquIe!

Any tennis fans? I'm sitting a block away from an ATP event. Sampras played an exhibition vs Blake Monday & whupped 'im.

Oh, yeah! I've followed the women over the last few years. The rallies seem to be much longer and more exciting, somehow...

...And I miss McEnroe's screaming.... :lol:

So, the dogs are trained to let it rip while running. Fine, I suppose, for the lead dog. But what does this mean for the next dog behind?

This is a great point. The dogs must draw straws for who has to pull behind ol' Sheba with the incontinence.... :rolleyes:

I watched the video of Michelle's finish. Thanks for posting that link. :)

It was great. But did you see the feed of Damned Dalton as he crossed? A very unlikeable, icky man...had nothing to say for the interviewer, and when he finally spoke it was to repond to a question about travelling with Michelle. He reported that Michelle insisted on leaving Carmacks before him, as she was ready and did not want to wait for him. This was said with a smirk. Because, of course, we know who beat whom. Damn that Dalton.....

OK, so you're disqualifying Beckham, eh? Well, let's see who else I can dig up. . . <off to google "Churchill in a speedo">

OMG.....Something up with which there'd be no WAY he'd be puttin'!..... :lol:

Good Morning Sillies!

Woke up to a snow-covered world. I am at work, hopefully not for the entire day. I brought a veggie tray in to celebrate our snow day. And its Friday too.

Another quiet morning in Sillyville. Maybe everybody is just dog tired from all the excitement this week.

No silliness to report here yet today.

      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.
