Do tell!

We should adapt our own language for the Silly thread!

Armenian

That was my next guess . . .

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.

That one looks vaguely familiar...

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:

Ugh--what a mess! :o

Well, Alex...You're approaching 300 posts......

This is true :P

HOLY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mountain is on fire! There's a freaking brush fire and one of the stations said 75 acres have burned since last night. This smoke, OMG, is not doing good things for me right now.

This would be the mountain that is my gorgeous view off my back deck. I wish I could take a pic, I can't find my darn camera. The fire is on the opposite face from us right now.

It shouldn't be. The smoke is yucky, though. They've got a ton of guys up there working on this... say a prayer for 'em because right now it's still out of control.

I went off to find an Armenian/English online dictionary/translator so that I could show you that I know how to order beer in Armenian, too . . . but I have to have the Armenian font . . . :unsure: I don't think I have that :unsure: . . . so I'll go with the old standby of speaking loudly and slower . . .

GAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! "too many blocks of text" :angry:

now eliminating quotes......

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.

:blink: oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhd that REALLY made my dingo-brain hurt...............

Bev's av and slogan - ha!

wonder what people think of these avs/slogans? remember when we first joined, all avs were just..kinda normal? :lol: *snort*

Ok, I updated my av. It's kinda like a club jacket now. Where's Alex, make sure she knows!

:blink: club jacket? Alex? what in hell? Susie is confuzzled...looks like some sort of green absinthian neo-mist to me........

SARAH!!!!!!! The fire!!!!!!!!! :o Well, just come out to California today, we'll take care of you!!!!!! :)

OK, so whilst I was out googling "green phaerie", I found this Open Original Shared Link . . . almost became my av but I just couldn't pull the trigger on that one . . . what if she was a member of the forum??

That link was the first listing. The second listing led me to a little known thread called "Tickle Me Elbow" with a post from Ptaum!!!

gahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! look how she spelled Phaerie. Janet, what if you spelled it with the typical and requisite "F" - the "normal" way? OMG - look at that woman.....hmmmm <scratching chin> A member of this phorum? Well, she DOES look a bit gluten-brained to me....... ha ha

and BTW Janet, can't you.........keep your Will Ferrel but......put a glass o' the absinthe next to his big old head??????????? moo-hoo-hoo-ha ha ha ha :P

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>

TOM! gitcher damned candy bar off a there and put some ABSINTHE up, dude!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

:lol: oh dear. This should be fun! Well, at least he's not doing a report on the famous Penis Fish. <ouch> :huh:

ALEX!!!!!!!!! premature fluids? look out!!!!!!!! <(h)anus>

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..."

*snort* :lol:

Armenian

Jess! Are you from Fresno? tons and tons of Armenians here.....in fact some of them are my closest friends.....and my brother married an Armenian also (she is NOT among my closest friends <_< )

Holy Hellious Conflagration Batman!!!!! Keep us updated, Sarah.

:lol: she said CONFLAGRATION

Well, alrighty then, if someone asks me if I know any Armenian, I can tell them I know how to order an elephant . . . or an old man!!

All done moving computers! I am so dusty and so sweaty! yuck!

Hey!! Amanda, great news: that counts as a workout. You may skip the gym this evening. :)

Do tell!

We should adapt our own language for the Silly thread!

Yes, I second this. Actually, the Ripper is absolutely fascinated with languages, is taking both French and Spanish at school, and in response to all of the frustrating rules and exceptions to said rules, he has been working on the development of a new language. I will check out what he's got so far....perhaps we can begin to work it into our posts. He's got about five pages of vocabulary done (all the way to the letter "H", I believe), but when I glanced at the words he was creating last month, I was struck by how very much they reflect just the linguistic needs of a 10 year-old. A smattering:

Bum--bummo

Computer--comptutro

Cookie-Cuquo

Dog--canino

Kick--Kica

Punch--Punca

No superfluous words like "house", "food" or "live"....... :lol:

My mountain is on fire! There's a freaking brush fire and one of the stations said 75 acres have burned since last night. This smoke, OMG, is not doing good things for me right now.

Sarah!!! What 's happening???? Is your house safe?!! Are any of the firefighters gorgeous??! <_<

...good to know that Armenian is right up there with Klingon in terms of popular obscure languages to know.

Oh! Please write something in Armenian, Jess. Wanna see it. I assume it's Germanic (?)

chances are someone would bring you an elephant....

Well, alrighty then, if someone asks me if I know any Armenian, I can tell them I know how to order an elephant . . . or an old man!!

You never know, Janet, when you'll need to do this.

Perhaps I could use this while I am with my dad in the hospital. Boy, lots and lots of old men there.....bah--don't need to actually order one....they're all over the place.....

So, went for a run in my million-dollar shoes. Boy, there were flames jus' flyin' off the back of my heels, let me tell you......uh, not...... <_<:rolleyes:

I think they likely glance at mine and immediately think, "Whoa...that's one chubby absinthe-drinkin' slattern....

Who knows WHAT in hell they think when they see yours, Susie.... :lol::lol:

Well, they quickly learn that we are members of this thread, and that explains everything to them.

You have quite a history of being susceptible to infection and unresponsive to antibiotics. You really... really... really... need to quit smoking. And go off dairy. You're already gluten-free, you can handle quitting dairy, too.

Welp indeed!......

The dairy sounds worse than it is ....can't help you with specific products but there are alot of yummy things out there. I actually got to really like rice milk :blink: (I did dairy free for 1 yr)

Cows and goats products have less casein and no lactose (I never got on with goats milk - tasted 'lamby' to me )...but original Greek feta cheese is lush :P

The smoking......I know you've been thinking about it...you can only try right????

But gaaawd, doubly whammy..and NOT easy to stay focused I know when you have such um exuberant kids ;) testing your patience to the max

I may have trouble bringing the phunny for a while.

Sarah, Sarah, *tsk* *tsk*

Down but NEVER out remember?? ...just keep pooping in - you'll soon get yer phunny back ;)

Hope you pheel better soon

I get a weird slight-panic feeling in my chest when I think of going w/out. I hate how so many situations won't feel right w/out lighting up.

It's just GOTTA be done .. . .. .and I'm closer to ready all the time.

Ptaum, you're almost ready :)

Right up until the morning I slapped on the first patch I had that 'panicky' feeling.....you know..the:

After dinner,

When you've had a drink partook in the phaerie

Screaming row with 'Devil child' :lol: ....maybe not....but what I'm saying is I had real reservations, but it weren't as bad as I thought.

Breaking the psychological habit is the much harder part (the patches take care of the physical withdrawal)

Ever thought about hypnosis to break the habit???

Oh Lord :lol: .....listen to me!! :lol: .....sound like one of them awful bloomin' patronising docs on the tv

<sorry>

Gawd! I never liked candy cigs--they always tasted like Pepto Bismol--ugh!

I was never allowed sweets candy as my Mum said it was bad for my teeth ;) .............. :lol:

OMG - I have these pants on and they're REALLY LOOSE today!!!!!!!!

This brought about a slight chortle as 'pants' over 'ere ain't trousers...it's yer knickers

Susie's got baggy knickers!!!!!!! :lol:

what in hell am I going to wear?

I forgot that you were dx type 1 at a young age..bummer for a kid BUT (on the bright side) I bet you have good teeth??

Tab...was that sugar free coke??

OMG- a new coronation is almost upon us. I'm placing my bets on Nikki (cuz she's 7 hours ahead of us and 10 ahead of you californicators Californians OR Amanda and Em cuz they're up way before the rest of us lazy slugs!!!!!!!!!

DON'T bet on it Bev.....didn't get on here 'til 4.30pm today :blink: (also lazy SLUG...but with no good reason to be :lol: )

Poor you..phlued and Lymed :(

Yes, eat plenty of salted crisps chips is what I suggest

It shouldn't be. The smoke is yucky, though. They've got a ton of guys up there working on this... say a prayer for 'em because right now it's still out of control.

Hope it's ok

....and of course you're not getting any pleasure out of watching the strapping blokes in action ;):lol:

Ridgewalker Contributor

Gahhhhhhh... The fire is completely out of these guys' control. We don't GET fires like this here, it's rare. It's spread right up to the top of the mountain now- it'll probably spread over to my side soon.

We are safe, as far as the fire itself goes. We're not actually ON the mountain, we're a couple miles away. Our house is on a hill, and the mountain is perfectly framed by my kitchen windows. The smoke is crazy, 5 times worse than it was this morning.

But it's not too-too bad at my house. The wind is supposed to continue picking up throughout the day, which everyone is worried about. I don't know which way it's supposed to come from though. If the wind starts pushing the smoke our way much, I'm going to take the kids to my mom's.

This particular mountain is little, relative to other mountains. There are only about 2 dozen houses dotted around on it.... The evacuations are voluntary, but so far no one is leaving.

Ridgewalker Contributor

BTW, Tom, I meant to reply to you earlier and got distracted...

I think I am going to quit Monday morning. I know I shouldn't put it off like that, but the kids will be back in school, and I'll have the weekend to rest up a little.

I am flat out exhausted right now. Being sick so long is just wiping me out. I just want to sleeeeeeeeeep all the time.

Sorry for being a whiny-butt. :P

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!
