Souczie--

I must be a dweeb, but I enjoy jury duty :lol: Or I would if I could ever really serve :huh: I was called twice in Jersey.....phirst time I was put on a jury, only to be disqualified by one of the lawyers :angry:

The second time, I had to sit through a long day of jury selection....but was never called. <_<

The people at the courthouse were really nice, though :D Phunny thing--about a month ago, I got another jury summons from Jersey--more than a year after moving out of state :blink:

I would love to be on a jury, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

Pull the GI card. Tell them you explosive diarrhea and may have to run for the bathroom without warning and could you please sit near the door?

Yes! And make it true - - eat a huge plate of pasta before you head in for day one.

:lol: good one.

Here's what I wonder - - do you get to find out what the trial's about BEFORE you get selected? Because this will depend on whether I want to serve and am FIT to serve.

Because, if I don't like the subject matter, or don't understand it (let's say there's some sort of accounting/mathS or tax malfeasance, for example :blink: ), is that when I act completely mental and start grabbing invisible things in the air and barking? :lol: :lol:

I don't know it it's the same everywhere, but we were told right after we were seated in the courtroom and before the actual selection process started.

I have been summoned twice. The first time....many years ago.....I was selected, but on the first day of trial, someone for the prosecution didn't show up, so it was canned.

The second one.....about a year ago......when they asked if anyone had a valid reason for not serving, I told them that, with my fibromyalgia, I could not sit in those chairs for an extended amount of time. There were others with serious health issues, and none of us were dismissed. Once we learned what the trial was about, again they asked if anyone felt they would not to be able to serve. It was a child molestation case :( . I had my reasons. In the end I was not selected, but I still had to sit thru the whole selection process. I don't think it's as easy to get out of it as it once was.

pondering Em's plate o' gluten idea.......I'm thinking that explosive diarrhea might help. Down the pants leg and such.....one would surely have to be dismissed? :lol:

SILLIES I have discovered the most phab new shampoo - - seems to be entirely free of gluten also. It's now at Walmart, L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Phree ColoUr Care System - - sulfate/chemical/salt free, in sets of 3 (shampoo, conditioner, deep masque) marked down from $10 to $5. I read about it on MakeupAlley.com and went straight over to The Walmart. :lol: LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Back to the Tika Shrine - have finally figured it all out and am painting the niche/alcove/whatever-in-hell you call that thingy off my kitchen. Am so excited. Fotos later on the 'book. ;) Her ashes will be on the hanging wall thing w/ shelf (a free metal sculpture thingy that is so unbelievably phabulous and coveted by many) with many, many photos, religious icons, etc. Can't wait ;) Just now goign to glaze over the dark paint in a metallic gold shimmer.............

My neighbor recently had post-mastectomy reconstructive surgery, so today I got to say something I thought I would never utter:

Ahhhh, c'mon....they wouldn't be ruined..... . . heavy-duty wash cycle, and they're good to go again. So, yer jeans wouldn't be ruined, but your reputation as a normally-functioning individual most certainly would be. . . . .... :lol:

OMG Psillies. .. . . ...!!! Went to that unbee-LEE-vable hockey game last night, and all I did was scream. And scream. And scream. At the very end, when Canada scored to tie it at 5 with 5.4 seconds left on the clock, I must have screamed, non-stop, for thirty straight seconds. This is not smart, nor recommended. I cannot speak today.. .. . voice is a dull croak.

Wonder if this would get me out of jury duty?

This house is so......different....so...weird............without the sound of my constant discourse, musings, instructions, singing, carrying through the air.. . . ..

Everyone quite likes it, apparently. <_<

Dear gawd.....wif candles? Have done this with lipsticks. . . .rather interesting, as I'm never sure what coloUr(s) I'll end up with. But a super way to utilize those old, half-used, never-quite-the-right-shade Cliniques and Revlons.

Cannot imagine managing this with candles . . . ........ :huh:

'Tis funny.... . . . .the absinthe I picked up in Mont Tremblant Village just has, in lovely, cryptic script across the front label, "ABSENTE", with some French writing on the back. Nowhere does it say the company, brand name or country of origin (I assume it's France).

Perhaps it's Burundi. Now, that would phreak me out. . . ..

<Talking of 'oracles' my bin oracle has spoken (little old lady next door) ...she ALWAYS knows when to put the bins out ;) >

Are these garbage bins? Are they not put out on the same night every week? Ah...there was a holiday this week, so it did change somewhat. That li'l ol' lady is on the ball!. . . . ... :lol:

I wanna bum-phlap thingie too, Nik! In fact, I think ALL of our clothes, not just long johns, should have big bum/right-under-to-the-front phlaps. Jeans, shorts, dress pants........there'd be NO need for zippers or buttons in front that stick.....velcro phlaps.....yes, 'tis a good plan . . .. ..

Awesome av too!! ;)

Have you been following the Junior Hockey matchups?

This event may, more than any other, highlight the sporting differences on opposing sides of the St Lawrence.

I'm aware that Jr League Hockey exists, but only because it's mentioned regarding the NHL draft.

In the US, the NHL itself has been abandoned by national tv for lack of ratings. The outdoor game on Jan1 was on and the playoffs get some nat'l tv, but even ESPN gave up on it and THEY air ppl PLAYING CARDS!!!!!! :blink: :blink:

Needless to say, the Juniors get no airtime, world championships or not.

There's a High School football all-star game on nationally soon tho.

Love yer av ;) Just had my third brand of absinthe, over at Gail's. have had:

La Muse Verte - only slightly better

St. George - this was me favoUrite

You gotta try Lucid!!!!!!

Which was at Gail's? (Oh wait. .. .I think I know .. .La Muse!)

I saw La Muse at BevMo the other day, and 3 others I haven't had. :o

But reviewers mostly hate one of the 3, Le Tourmant, w/ artificial coloUrs like Scope and sticky sweet.

St George seemed so different, what w/ starting w/ a brandy base.

I want one of those 'all-in-one' undergarments wiv a bum flap they had in the Westerns!!! (has it got a name? :unsure::lol: )

Hehe-heehee I had those!!!!!!

Mom got us all some as a bit of a joke one xmas when we were 20-somethings.

They actually got much use by the Alaskan brothers.

Flap & all lol :lol:

Hmmmm ... what were they called .. ...maybe "union-something" .. ..bah

Brain getting better but not quickly enough.

I *so* miss having it WHIR like a brand new Juiceman. ;)

I'm hoping the badness lately is entirely from some food compromises made, for various reasons.

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
