Here, you can only buy beer (by the case only) at a "beer store". If you want a 6-pack, you have to go to a bar or hotel and purchase it there.

Wine and other liquors are only found at the Wine and Spirits stores. Nothing at grocery stores.

PA really needs to start to live in the modern times and start selling the beer in the grocery store!

Why is it 'torbie' and not 'tattie'?

'cause if she was a 'tattie' some Brit would snatch her up and sell her on ebay.

You Yanks have a hollerday today, n'est-ce pas? We've got nuttin' until Easter.......harumph.

Well, it depends. Here in Ontario, if you work in a provincially regulated non-union workplace, then the third Monday in February is Family Day. It was first observed in 2008. Federally regulated workplaces are not covered by the legislation, but some companies, such as banks, close. Many unionized workers do not get it off, because the collective agreement specifies what days are holidays, and most have not been renegotiated. Talk about confusion. We close the store.

If I recall correctly, California sells alcoholic beverages in grocery and convenience stores 24x7. So does Illinois, if my memory is correct. Such civilized places.

Hmmmm....tabbies......Bryce is our big male orange tabby...a 20-pounder. Big, lazy and in love with everybody. He deeply respects and fears Tess, our little 7-pound mix. Very hilarious - - I've seen her give him regular hell, this li'l thing loudly reading the riot act before the big, cowering boy . . . .. . . :lol:

a quiet yay.

I've been watching GMA and other coverage and I realized that I feel like this is the first president who is part of the culture he's been elected to serve. He uses a Blackberry, he emails, his wife dances with her daughters on camera.

Why did we ever have people running the country that didn't have an understanding of how the country ran?

You know - I'm sure there is some limitation...or maybe that was in the past :blink: ....I do remember the 'alcohol' section of Tesco's being shut off on a Sunday.

Not ever having had to buy booze @ 2.00am I'm not sure :unsure:

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hello, I've been diagnosed with IBS since I was little. I’ve visited many doctors because my intestines have always been very reactive to food. I have chronic swelling, and I struggle to gain weight. This year has been worse than others: I started noticing fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and many digestive problems, especially after consuming products with gluten. My doctor suggested that this might be due to some imbalance of gut bacteria, so I started taking Bifidobacterium Infantis supplements. However, my symptoms have been getting worse every day. I experience nausea, frequent abdominal pain, migraines, and palpitations after eating. I had these symptoms before, but now they are more intense. I thought I might have Non-celiac gluten sensitivity or Celiac Disease, so I took a home test for Celiac, and it came out negative (though there may have been an error—I was nervous and accidentally contaminated the sample with air bubbles). Based on your experiences, should I pursue further medical exams for Celiac? I’m worried about being underweight and about my blood test results, which, even if still within normal ranges, have been declining each year.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      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..
