Thanks for the condolences everyone.

At least all his kids are grown, I guess.

Have just watched a show on PBS about famous sandwiches in the US..........Philly cheesesteak, roast beef (French dip - I could DIE for one, thin-sliced beef on a soft roll, dipped in au jus :( ),

I think I've seen that one! French Dip segment is at the place that invented it? (Or so they say <_< )

In L.A., on a corner I think. Wasn't the place called Frenchy's er sumfin?

<I was disappointed to learn a French Dip had no real ties to France>

I'm halfway to the nearby Farmers' Market.

Figured doing something is better than not.

Ken's memorial is Monday, but I might just go stop by his house today. I'd gotten to know a couple of the kids pretty well & his wife somewhat.

Oh....your chow has a black tongue, doesn't she? I haven't had many conversations with Mr. Chow, but I'm fairly certain his tongue is pink. So we can differenciate that way....

:huh::lol:

:lol: Makes me want to call your neighboUr P.T. Chow ( Pink Tongue)

....and the guy turned around and he was not my friend......I felt 2 inches tall!

D'oh!! :lol:

Tom, new av for you (and anyone else quitting)

Expected to at least get red bell peppers at the Farmers Mkt but there are NONE!!

No shortage of gluteny treats, breads, naan, knishes etc etc however.

:lol: I saw Mr. Chow about an hour ago, as I was out with the dogs. A meeting between the two of us on the street is quite rare...almost like it was meant to happen, because as we chatted I stared fixedly at his mouth, squinting and trying to peer in to see his tongue. Eventually I realized that he had stopped talking, and was staring back at me, his brow furrowed, his mouth a little open. I needed to explain, so I told him that I wanted to be sure that he had a pink tongue. Then I pulled the dogs and continued down the street. :lol::rolleyes:

So, it is indeed P.T. Chow!

There's no fear of confusing him with this guy:

This is probably a good idea, Ptaoughmnm, if you feel it your heart. You should see them. :)

Hey all!! Remember my backed up kitchen sink? Yeah.....much bigger problem than I thought. :o I tried to unclog it myself.....always been able to before. (Didn't want to have to tell hubby I put too much down the disposal....again :ph34r: ) In my defense, it's been awhile since the last time. So.. had to tell DH and he worked on it last night----had to use a balloon thingy on the end of the hose....ended up drenching the kitchen. :o He gave up and took off work today to fix it. He was asleep when I got home....pipes are back together...I think I'll let him sleep -_- Shhhhh.

Howdy Ho- Sillies!!!!!!!!! Sigh.....feeling poopy today.

Tom- I am SO sorry about your friend....he sounded like a wonderful person! You will be in my thoughts.

Bev, yes you must get your boob rash looked at immediately. I will say, I couldn't believe the number of ticks we ran across during our brief trip. I shall warn my friend K. to be sure and check her boobage area on a regular basis. Good Luck at the Doc's.

Boob successfully examined.....Unfortunately, this office can neither confirm or deny that this was indeed the bite of a pervert tick. However, we can disclose that according to our Defense Department , the antibiotic biological warfare will indeed cover any rogue bacteria!

(Why doesn't this make me feel any better?)

Tom, new av for you (and anyone else quitting)

I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!

OMGAWD- I want THAT one!!!!!! It's a cute little border collie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need a joke....got nuttin funny today...but someone else did:

LeeSa - yes, we change everybody's names.

The Tom/Ptauoghmn reminds me of my DD's name---Briana. Alot of people don't pronounce it right. Someone else gave their daughter the same name but solved the pronunciation problem by spelling it---B-R-E-A-U-G-H-N-N-A :blink:

One Question IQ Test

Here's a one-question IQ Test to help you decide how you should

spend the rest of your day......

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush.

By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,

how should he express himself?

answer to follow

Omg.....just got rid of the last of the guests..very fan-fu*@kin'-tastic dinner tonight - - a barbeque on our big back deck with my mom, dad, sister and brother-in-law. They all loved Elsie, and after we all solved the problem of glue sticking to the inside of the bottle and whether or not you can cry underwater, we all decided that, based on emminent behavior, Elsie was likely verbally and physically abused.

I know in her last home she was crated all night and through the day when no one was there (in other words, almost all the time), and she absolutely CRINGES at any raised voice....she will suddenly shake and look very frightened. I am SO sad when I see this, I cannot tell you. She has put on a bit of weight, but she was SO SKINNY. How can people do this...it turns my stomach. This is a work in progress - - my little sick girl, who we shall make better. :)

So.. had to tell DH and he worked on it last night----had to use a balloon thingy on the end of the hose....

Lisa!! That's a ballcock!!!! BALLCOCK SIGHTING!! BALLCOCK SIGHTING!! :o:lol:

Jess!! Pull out yer whip, put on the dominatrix outfit, and you can perhaps circumvent ANY sudden happenstance....

Um... methinks you can snake just about anything in that personna, yes? :lol::o

We got Zeus from an animal shelter. He cringes, cowers, shakes and pants whenever DH watches football ( can't handle the yelling) Doesn't matter how much DH loves on him during the game. He's petrified as soon as he hears the pre-game announcers. :(

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
