Gad....I thought we were talkin' about some guy named Telemarketer or Telephonic.

"Hi, I'm Nikki, and this is my husband, Teleprompter. For obvious reasons, he's known as 'Tel'"..... :lol:

I suppose that's better than 'Prom'

And lately, she has had a Silly look in her eye.....

...her left one - - the right was squinting with allergic tears.....

:lol: :lol: mad

(I also don't get how Terry gets shortened to Tel :huh: )

:blink: I know - and Nicola finks we're odd for not getting it......

um - in this country - do we shorten Terry? I guess.........Ter........would be logical..... :lol:

Ptaum - I can't get into the beer as a summer beverage - always felt so sick after drinking it (which was phrequently in my youth :ph34r: ) and of course now we know why.....gotta have something sparkling, fruity, adn delicious............

Well JUST WTH do you twangy pholks shorten 'Terry' to then??? :rolleyes:

<we've been called twangy!!>

Wondering how many nicknames have nicknames .. . .isn't Terry short for Terrence?

Terry to Tel = Nikki to Nid??

(By simple arithmetic shift fyi)

.....gotta have something sparkling, fruity, adn delicious............

Hmmmmmmmm invent Lazy Mojitos then?

Syrup? Bah, just sugar.

Muddling mint leaves? Pffft just chew a minty gum and spit in the glass .. . . or . . . . does toothpaste dissolve? Maybe dunk an Altoid a few times? (don't pretend they're not always handy!!! :lol: )

OH! OH! (which reminds me, foreshadowingly, where's ~alex~ ???)

A fine summertime libation is a Cape Cod!!

Susie! Do you sell the jewellery that you make? You often seem to be working on something... .

What's going on in Kisseyville? Have you guys agreed to disagree? Has the argument-fuelled smoke cleared?

DH and I were arguing this evening about which was a better movie, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe or Prince Caspian. The smoke will clear soon....... ... . :rolleyes:

I do sell jewelry, and really need to sell more. Have thousands of $$ of inventory, collected over a decade......gads......may start listing on ebay (I'll take a huge loss) or etsy.com. Dunno yet...and do not know how to 'splain what I make. :blink: semi-precious gemstones, sterling and pearls......hand-wired together. will have to put photos up, somehow.

Oh, all is quite well in Kisseyville! :wub: not to worry. Um, I DO think I should put up a more dignified photo of the goof, though...... :lol:

Ah! We settled the old TP quandary long ago - - it rolls from the bottom, reducing the chances of it all flipping out into a big heap on the floor....

I'm telling ya, we have addressed some colossal points of difference head-on over the years we have been together:

Which is the correct way to slice a kiwi - - length-wise or width-wise?

Whether or not eggs should ever be eaten with potatoes

Is cutting one's toenails a disgusting personal act that should be done in complete privacy?

Oh, it goes on and on.... :lol::rolleyes:

:lol: :lol:

OMG - I don't EVER want to see anyone cutting his toenails. In fact, I really don't want to see any toenails, period. :blink:

About 20 years ago, I was a receptionist in a law firm.......and this client was right around the corner, obviously cutting his nails. We could hear it (gross enough in itself), as he was right outside the kitchen area, standing in the main hallway, just off the reception area. What in hell? I called a couple of people up front to witness this spectacle. But....the worst - - after he'd left, we found his neat, tidy pile of nail remnants.............a NAIL cairn, to be precise, right on the counter outside the kitchen. :blink: :vomitface: :lol:

And yes, potatoes CAN be eaten w/ eggs - those would be hashbrowns. OMG - I miss McDonald's hash browns..........such yummy, dreamy piles of potato-y, greasy, golden-y heaven-puffs....... :(

I'd never have imagined this could be questioned!!!!

Besides hashbrowns (really? McD's? :huh: ), there are SO many varieties of home fries <that looks weird in print> w/ regional nuances.

Slices, chunks whatever . ... .as long as onions are involved I'll love 'em.

:lol:nail cairn :lol:

Terence to Terry to Tel :blink: ....yes, I can see it looks odd BUT it's not so much as how it looks as to how it sounds

If you say Ter it sounds like Tel

Is this a peculi(hil)arity to Brits I wonder??? :blink: ......would yer have to call me hubby 'Terry' ALL the time?? :unsure: ......NEVER 'Tel'

GADS how tiresome :lol:

We (Brits) would also shorten

Sharon to Shal

Darren to Dal

Gary to Gal

Derek to Del

:lol::huh:

I don't care if you fink I'm odd....I haven't got time for FULL names!!!!!!!

Terry to Tel = Nikki to Nid??

Nicknames for nicknames :lol: .......why, thats as mad as pets for pets! :lol:

Ya gotta have a vowel, then an 'R' in your name

Did someone say Cape crusader cod piece??? :unsure:

Or which way to hang the toilet paper...over or under. :P

Has to be UNDER!!!!!

Which is the correct way to slice a kiwi - - length-wise or width-wise?

Width-wise

Also (optionally healthy fibRE boost) ..leave the skin on when you slice...........yes, yes!...it sounds wrong but TRY ^_^

Whether or not eggs should ever be eaten with potatoes

WHAAAAAT???

Well the how the heck is TER going to eat his fried egg & chips otherwise???? <_<

Is cutting one's toenails a disgusting personal act that should be done in complete privacy?

Indeed it should be THE LAW :o

NO toe-nail cairns PLEASE!!!

In fact, I really don't want to see any toenails, period. :blink:

:lol: Well, I don't mind FEmale toe-nails attached to toes...with nail polish but NOT on men (hairy toes :( , looks odd)

Which reminds me ....I really must 'pretty up' my feet apres the 'wobbly blister/now hard skin' incident.

I may just go to the shop and have a pedicure ....but WHO would want to do that job????? :o

<not me>

...but I must point out that I would before I go: (in private!)

Cut my toe-nails

Try and get some hard skin off

SCRUB my feet then powder them.........

I also wash my hair BEFORE going to the hairdresser's :huh:

...but HOLY SKANKY HEADS!!!...I worked in a hairdressers for 4 yrs and you would be AMAZED at the sheer unashamed RANKNESS of heads of which people would expect you to touch !!!!!!!! :o:o :vomitface:

Seems as though DH is not the only one who finks that eggs with potatoes is simply wrong - - my dad has always thought this a bizarre combination. "Potatoes are a supper food, eggs for breakfast", kind of old-school thinking. :rolleyes: I love 'em together - - a delicious, fast supper.. .but potatoes are not great for the diabetes, sadly.....

We (Brits) would also shorten

Sharon to Shal

Darren to Dal

Gary to Gal

Derek to Del

Equally odd is the seemingly illogical shortening of Margaret to Peggy, Howard to Hank, John to Jack, Richard to Dick... . .becomes a whole new name. I believe Mr. Chow's name is Tran Chow. This is excellent - - a name that is just too difficult to Westerize into a shortened form. :lol:

Width-wise

Also (optionally healthy fibRE boost) ..leave the skin on when you slice...........yes, yes!...it sounds wrong but TRY ^_^

Hey! I EAT it all - - skin and everything...yup.

Nik, I couldn't agree with you more. I was just sayin' to Em & Pat the other day how I need more time. I was telling Sue that I was going to have to cut a few things out. . . . And did we decide if Al has been spotted? . . . and how did Am's day finish off after our threats to the Merck monster. . . and is Jules feeling better?

Now, I've had to make all these short cuts because I have to spend so much time spelling . . . HTtaughawoughmn's name.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      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.

      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 .

      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.
