Oh no Julie--not snow on May Day!!! Just doesn't seem right.

Is this normal for you out there, or just a fluke? It's nice and sunny here, a little cool.

Glad to hear that you're on the treadmill and the rebounder! Very impressive Good luck with the dairy--I've been off it for over 3 years now--for me not nearly as hard as sugar. That sugar is tough

We can get snow into May, it's not unheard of. In fact a rule of thumb is not to plant your flowers until Mother's Day , or you might have to keep carrying your pots inside or cover them to protect them

Thanks for the good luck on the dairy, I am going to need it! I have tried to get off of it for several years, I will go long stretches without it and then I'll slip up and have a little....then I can't stop once I start The problem is all the dairy alternatives make me so sick and I just don't have enough things I can rotate in to eat. Dairy at first seems to be the lesser of the evils (at least it's not gluten I raionalize) but the more I ingest the more problematic it becomes.

A vicious circle I tell you!

Bloomin' freezing here too Julie ....GADS I can't wait 'til I don't have to use the heating (chaaaa-ching!)

It's been heavy rain for days,.....a slugs paradise

My joints don't like the damp (I clearly need to move to a warmer/dryer clime )

Boo on the rain, unless y'all need the moisture?

I hear you Nikki, I would not do well in a wet damp cold climate. My joints would be so unhappy, I wouldn't be able to move! i hope you have clear skies and warmer temps soon!

I have thought about relocating to Arizona, my body would be a happy camper in the hot and dry there.

To be sure It has to be so much harder for you since you can't tolerate the milk subs.

I planted flowers two weeks ago. It got cold with frost warnings on Tuesday night, but since mine were either in window boxes or on the porches, they were fine. I don't think we actually got any frost, though, I didn't see any evidence of it in the morning.

Ha Janet--since no one offered total perfect health and a svelte body, it was simply a bowl of fruit, not a bowel.

fruit bowel..........

wait........weren't we promised a svelte body, and able to eat all we want for life, if we ate the poop? Because....I agreed to this.........

Yeah Julie--have you actually made contact yet?

Careful now, don't rush her!

One can use moderator "privileges" to do certain things? This could, surely, lead to abuse of one's position. Does one get forum lunches and company vehicles? What else, exactly, does the moderator status allow one to do besides read and post?....

Does a moderator get more emoticons? larger quotation quotas? Immunity from the "report" button? Hmmmmmm, what is going on?...... We little, ordinary members need to investigate all this.....

:lol: Yes, I think they get a free personal gluten-free chef also......Bev, are you SURE you want to relinquish your post?

'Brazilian cheese thread' sounds kind of seedy to me anyway

You know, I made them, TWICE, and thought they were ghastly.... Hard as rocks, and dry, both times......they ended up being dog biscuits. HARRUMPH

My joints don't like the damp (I clearly need to move to a warmer/dryer clime )

Yes, you MUST, come to California!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elye]

It's lovely here, today, but cool...13 C. Bright sun. Perfect for a jaunt with Gus.

Privilages = duties. Pinning, de-spamming, general upkeep, booting out the occasional Troll....the usual

Mygawd......and nothing in return? 'Tis astonishing. I think our next parade should be dedicated to all of the tireless mods doing such a thankless job.

NO perks? Not even a title for yer business cards?

Oh Bev . . . did you misuse your moderator privileges and delete the Brazilian Cheese Bread thread??? Were you demoderated because you took revenge against a recipe you didn't like??? . . . thought nobody would notice it was gone, huh??

Or perhaps Bev has moved the thread and hidden it within the bowels of the forum, just to shake things up...has anyone looked in the dermatitis section? The meeting room?

Bev, methinks yer messin' with our minds.....

fruit bowel..........

Oh....This has suddenly reminded me of some....interesting...Dali-inspired canvases I struggled to produce as a poncho-wearing free-spirit in Fine Art...Thank gawd there was no youtube back then....

I'm not sure what to think.......that man wove a huge bear out of pine needles! Impressive, tedious, combustible, unusual.

Yes, our Ednas could make us ALL pissy. I am not sticking, in any way, to a no-sugar diet. Ate two small chocolate bars yesterday, and a biscotti. Zoigs.

HI JUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

must head out for more mowing/cutting/pruning. I don't know how to use one a' them weed whackers, so I must hand-trim the edges of the lawn. All the neighbors look at me strangely....most have weekly gardeners or at LEAST have an edge trimmer. What kind of person does it by hand, I ask you? An impoverished Dingo Girl, that's who.

Oh - here's a silly. The other day, David was on a day trip, six-hour round-trip drive for work. So, I asked him what he did in the car - listen to ipod, good C D's, what? And he said - - "No - I was just alone wtih my dingo thoughts" - - (we say this a lot - BTW 'tis a tortuous place to be )

[Judyin Philly]

ok i give...........................

what is an EDNA

is it the diet???????????????????????????????????

judy

[jerseyangel]

And he said - - "No - I was just alone wtih my dingo thoughts" - -

Aw-w-w

ok i give...........................

what is an EDNA

is it the diet???????????????????????????????????

judy

Yep--an Edna = diet We decided we didn't want to call these heinous things diets so--was it Emily?--suggested Edna.

In Sillyville, it kinda works

[DingoGirl]

ok i give...........................

judy

:lol:

'tis any kind of egregious diet. Emily has her no-sugar diabetic diet, Julie is on no sugar (and then no carbs soon), Nikki - heinous slimming diet - - I think it's just any kind of diet that we hate - - which we evidently all must observe.

Um - does it also encompass the gluten-free diet? is that a given?

The Dingo Brain is contagious

You must have one of the most well kept yards, always puttering around out there. Tis rewarding work however, no??

Glad you are still eating the chocolate, at least one of us has to keep contact with the good life

Forgot to mention earlier how exciting about your upcoming weekend getaway with Kissie and mini-Kissey

Hi Judy!!!!

[jerseyangel]

Um - does it also encompass the gluten-free diet? is that a given?

But of course--that's the mother of all Ednas

Julie said "puttering around"

[Green12]

Yeah, I refused to call it diet because I hate the word.

Emily decided that we needed to call it something else like a Catherine, then she thought that was not a fitting name to use for something so heinous, thus Edna was thrown out there......not that the name Edna is heinous or anything

Nikki! I've been meaning to say you look fantabulous in your avatar!! You don't need a slimming diet, er Edna

What is your slimming Edna btw??

[jerseyangel]

Yeah, I refused to call it diet because I hate the word.

Emily decided that we needed to call it something else like a Catherine, then she thought that was not a fitting name to use for something so heinous, thus Edna was thrown out there......not that the name Edna is heinous or anything

It only happened yesterday, and I still couldn't remember all the facts!

[DingoGirl]

in so many ways......not all good

You must have one of the most well kept yards, always puttering around out there. Tis rewarding work however, no?? Hi Judy!!!!

no - it's a mess. I only mow the front every two weeks - it should be every week. I am a slovenly hag. and OMG - you should see parts of the back yard - - White Trash Nation. thank God, that's only in the back corner, and no one sees it but me.

But of course--that's the mother of all Ednas

'tis indeed the Mother of All Ednas

It only happened yesterday, and I still couldn't remember all the facts!

Yes, often the case 'round here - things change quickly - new edicts/sayings/words/thoughts/guest characters/concepts/emoticon configurations and of course, ponderisms by The Ripper - always a decision to be made - and not good ones, my friends :lol:

[blueeyedmanda]

Why haven't you all been silly today? We had a meeting which was supposed to be from 11-12....it dragged on till 1:30...yikes!!!!!! My stomach was growling so bad, I was starving.

So now I am working my evaluation which is due tomorrow. I hate self-evals. Pointless....and to top it off the questions are repeating themselves at every section....plus I have to come up with some goals for next year....I dont really have any kind of goals....sheesh what are they expecting out of me?

[Darn210]

But of course--that's the mother of all Ednas

. . . but wasn't Enda's mother named Gertrude (Gert for short)??? Then it would be the gluten-free Gert.

Well now, everyone . . . I believe Amanda has just issued us a challenge!!!!! We must now all provide Amanda with some suitable goals for next year . . .

Goal: To properly document all phart activity using official phart charting.

Goal: Only phart when there is a questionable veggie tray in the area.

Goal: To no longer tuck my dresses/skirts into my tights/pantyhose.

[Darn210]

Why there's Tom!!!!! Egads Tom!!! Have you been at the DMV all this time???

Indeed, one must steel oneself before entering our world...

Not for the faint of heart.

I say this as I notice two newbie names at the bottom - - here, and now gone!

OMG - - Thank heavens I do not ever have to do this. Self-evaluate? Hell, I don't know how I'm doing at anything.....

Amanda, perhaps we can help you with these heinous questions...

Say that you are performing quite well at work, considering the amount of time you spend on an online celiac forum, pondering questions about wearing green, eating poop and tactics for avoiding jury duty.

You have two professional goals: To avoid completely the office pain-in-the-@ss that you've mentioned here, and....what else....oh, and to make more time to speak to your online friends.

There, that should cover it.
