I don't remember the gum cigs . . . only the hard candy ones . . . there were gum cigars . . . perhaps because tom and susie are sooooo much older than I.

:lol: Sounds like a wolf geezer in whippersnapper's clothing!

I DO remember the gum cigars & meant to mention they had them at the store too!

Patti, I also remember only pastel colors, but not just pink/blue. (I too hadn't thought of the baby announcement side of things)

Skybar??? :huh: no recollection of that - maybe it was regional?

If not, it's probably 50/50 they have it at this store. Saw a bunch of things I didn't recognize that had to be from another era style-wise.

I'll bet you do! Picture the package with a cross section of a bar that has 4 little separate flavor "compartments"--chocolate, peanut, caramel, and vanilla. Mark swears that when they first came out there were 5 flavors+coffee.

Extraordinary measures MUST be taken! :blink:

Do you use Notepad at all currently?

I say start by opening Notepad, alt-tabbing back to browser, use <CNTL> A & <CNTL> C to swiftly "highlight all" and Copy, alt-tab back to notepad and <CNTL> V to Paste.

Your genius Kisseyboy should be able to make the entire process a one click macro, assigned to a new button on your browser's toolbar.

But unTIL then .. ...try it.

And oh! I remember Skybars from when I was a kid! It was my FAVORITE candy bar as a child. There were still a couple drug stores in NY that carried them. Then when we moved to North Carolina, nobody had them. Bah.

Whoa!! I *DO* remember something just like that, but I'm pretty sure not Skybar.

The site says Skybar was introduced in 1938, but I remember a different compartment-bar as new in the early 70s.

The one I'm thinking of had 5 sections.

One was definitely fudge, in addition to another chocolatey segment.

ARRRRGH I can ALMOST remember the name. I know the wrapper was dark.

Often got them at the Mt. Prospect Theatre, uptown. (as opposed to downtown - that meant Chicago)

OMG this will be bugging me . .. I'm SO close to remembering the name!!!!! :angry:

And no good idea of what to google on! :angry:

Ahhh-HA!! Got the other Skybar-type bar!

I can't believe I found it!!

It was the Seven Up Bar, w/ 7 segments, natch.

But I was wrong about all SORTS of things! It actually pre-dates the 7-Up drink, but in the 70s the candy company was bought by 7-Up and SHUT DOWN!!!!! :angry:

<new temporary av a Seven-up candy bar wrapper>

That store I visited also had Bullseyes (remember those? Caramel-y thick disk w/ a white total sugar center to look like an eye?) & wax lips!! :lol:

Awesome av BEV!!!

This reminds me of something. Jack's teacher is putting together a big lesson plan for next month--it will involve history, geography and science. It is a section on the Guinea worm, a fascinating, but stomach-turning, parasite that resides in fetid water in parts of Africa and South America. We'll be creating a couple of big posters and slide shows, detailing how it enters the human body, and regrettably, how it leaves.... So, a warning....soon I may be imparting my new-found wisdom on this gross-me-out-the-door-but-its-kinda-cool subject. Okay, you've been warned. :rolleyes:

Baaaahhhhh, heinousness of all heinousness! Our toilet totally overflowed today and the water was seeping through to the basement! Lots of cleaning up <_<. I don't know why it happened. Pre-diagnosis days when the toilet was getting rather over used I might have understood but this was so random -- just flushed and up came a water volcano. As we were mopping up the water I was thinking about how horrible it would be to be glutened with a malfunctioning bathroom. This cleanup would have been a lot grosser, and possibly biohazardous had it occurred after/during a glutening. :huh:

I think I have learned my lesson that if it's yellow I should let it mellow. :wacko:

Guten Morgen, Sillies!

Yesterday I spent....gulp....$150.00 on a new pair of running shoes. They are apparently comprised of the industry's most sophisticated technology for cushioning, support and streamlining.

It is hilarious, really--I am so far away from competitive running, but because my feet and ankles are hurting now when I jog or do a class, I immediately think that tossing money at the problem will solve things completely. Got nothing to do with the fact that I am now IN MY FORTIES, with joints that are reminding me of such....

I know that the two young salesmen were having a great guffaw as I left the sports store yesterday with my high-tech, lithium-plated, air-jetted and polyfoam-cushioned shoes under my arm. Guffawing and chortling...."Man....who 'she think she is, man? Some Olympian's MOTHER, maybe..."

Sigh............... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Sarah, be strong. You can do this. I quit cold turkey. No patches. No gum. I decided to do it, and I did it. You can too. I'm really pulling for you on this one. Come join me in the non-smoking world. It is better here in so many ways.

Yes, Sarah!!! My vote swings heavily this way, too... Do nothing else: put ALL of your energies into quitting smoking. It's the most important health matter you've got on your plate presently. Let the diet stuff happen later...just work on this.

Oracle Peter has spoken!

Baaaahhhhh, heinousness of all heinousness! Our toilet totally overflowed today and the water was seeping through to the basement! Lots of cleaning up <_< .

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
