Love the crutch idea.

Cold and snowy and the cats are very angry with me for doing this to them.

Must go plug in my electric kettle and make some tea.

Yes, yes, must chime in....HAAAAPPPPYYYY BIIIIRTHDAYYYY JOOOOOODYYYYY!!!!

Everyone come!!!! I have a big comfy couch divan, a big screen telly, tiger pig's to go all around, snacks and drinks! It would be GRAND!!

Be there in a bit (don't I wish...sigh). I grew up with 7 brothers and sisters and I really miss the group thing, especially this time of year. How wunnderfull twould be to snuggle and giggle under a tiger pig (my son had a ducky blanket) with tea and snacks and psilliness!

I think I'll pass on flashing the biddies to freeze them! Probably would get arrested for not being indecent enough! :lol: Already did the pap thing, our yearly required humiliation. The things that men get to miss! We just are not meant to be pressed into 2 dimensions! If you buy into the theory that causing certain cells to collide in 2 dimensions could cause a black hole.....possibly a gateway into another dimension....well, just think of the consequences. Piles of breasts suddenly appearing in another space-time continuum. What is a "person" in another place supposed to think about that? :unsure:

SamHill Manhead as the Godfather? What is the world coming to? :o

What exactly is an electric (eclectric?) Kettle? Never heard of one. I gave up the kettle on the stove and cheat with the microwave! Wunnerful things..those microwaves!

Peeaterr....love the image of kitty going to the door over and over. Mine used to do the same. You open the door, they look out, look up at you with pathetic confusion. Go to another door, repeat the process. I used to say that my Ivan was waiting for me to open the door to summer. He couldn't understand why I insisted on opening doors to winter...brrrr. I wish I had a door into summer, whenever I wished. I'd be there year 'round :D

Going for a mamogram this afternoon :angry: Hate it, hate it. Then again, I don't know anyone who enjoys it. Think I'll practice slamming myself in the doorway.....or maybe I'll be so frozen I won't feel it. One can only hope. :huh:

I've an idea, Tuhreeesah. You're on the right track with the frozen idea - - you really will not feel anything if yer boobs are frozen...... . .Might I suggest standing outside the medical clinic, just before your appointment, and opening your coat, lifting up your sweater and bra, and letting them be completely exposed for, say, three or four minutes. You will be numb for an hour, perhaps, and will feel no discomfort from the squishing plates.

Yes, this is a grand idea. Must remember to re-jig my yearly appointment so that it falls in January instead of August. . . . . ....

NO!! NO!! NO!! Do not freeze the girls before squishing!!!! . . . Hubby was outside this morning, picked up the hose and it broke in half because it was frozen!!! . . . I would hate for yer breasts to just fall off because they were frozen when they were squished . . . twould probably hurt even more . . . um, when you thawed a bit.

. . . and I had me an electric kettle for a while when I lived in Cincinnati about 18 years ago. GAH!!!! Probably still do in some box labeled "Stuff from work" that was moved and never opened.

Well. . . . . . I am certain that any man you're gonna talk to would give his first born to be hangin' out in that dimension . . .. ...

:lol:

You guys don't do electric kettles?! Man....I actually don't own one, but they are a staple in this culture.....just need an outlet, and BANG! Tea!

Oh sillies- having an awphul day here.....me boss yelled at me....actually made me cry...but I did not let her dare see it. She is not going to get that satisifaction! She said awful things like I am draggin her name in the mud and I cannot grasp simple concepts and such....I am shuddering thinking about it.....

Anyway- I am no where near ready for christmas, and not very in the mood for it this year. So much to do with the move and all. Plus money is not something we have an abundance of. We were shopping for the nieces and nephews on Saturday and I am still outraged over the prices of toys! Sheesh!

So anyway still in the deep freeze here..... @ 12:45 it was only 22 degrees!

How can you live without an electric kettle???

Tea ABSOLUTELY must be had, AND cures ALL ills ;)

...but not only for tea, boil the kettle for hot choc (add water) or gravy powder, or instant coffee (sacre bleu!! :o )

T'ain't right I say!!!....you MUST need boiling water for summat?? :unsure:

We do have a coffee percolator as well....we are not total philistines :lol:

OMG!! I need to put the oven on.......but where's me sunglasses?? ;)

I may be wrong, but I've a hunch that tea (& boiling water as well) predates electricity. :P

Given that, even *I* used to have an electric kettle, & I'm not even a tea drinker!! (Hence the used to)

Didn't buy it - 'twere a take-home after running the tests at Underwriters Labs.

Dang phorum wouldn't lemme in last night, so . ... . much catching up to do.

Amanda!! I am so sorry to hear about the confrontation with your boss. . . . . ...there is nothing worse. Her behaviour sounds very unprofessional to me - - you are an adult, and no matter what you have done (if anything), you never deserve to be yelled at. Never. BAH! :( Sooooozie's right, however - - this too shall pass!!!

Speaking of Soooooze.....you and Weeze have some caring and nurturing to do over the next few days! The poor thing - - a painful anniversary, and the loss of her job! Jenn is going to be right where she needs to be over Christmas... . ...... :)

MIL's flight was cancelled from Whitehorse to Vancouver due to the blizzard-like conditions out west. BUT.... . .. . that strong, fierce English tenacity came rippling forth, and she got herself on another flight on Air North. So, she's now sitting at the Vancouver airport, waiting for a connecting flight. . . .

She could be tip-toeing in at 2am. Think I will put Sam Hill right in the entrance hall to welcome her.

:rolleyes:

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
