This one's just fer you Jan-it.....Hee! :lol::lol:

I'm excited!! :D:D Guess what Sillies? I'm getting me hair cut by the Deva Method B) There's a salon in the area that does it--it's supposed to be the very best way to cut curly hair and it takes special training. They do the cut on dry hair and then wash and style it. They observe the way the individual's curl pattern goes, and then cut accordingly.

I went there today while we were out to ask about it--the girl was going to look into the products and let me know what they suggest for me Celiac-wise. I made my appointment for Thursday and she just called--they want me to wash and let my hair air-dry completely (naturally--no blow dry) before I go in, and instead of using their products (which have wheat amino acids), they'll spritz with water to style after the cut. :D

I've been just growing it out the last few months ;) , so I'm really psyched!!

He has been de-peanutted AND vaccinated.

I took him to a vet clinic that does low cost neutering....but when I told them he was a stray I stole took in they waived the fee!!!!!!!!!

Anyhoo, am laughing at the poor wee bugger who is frantically licking and cleaning whilst no doubt screaming in his li'l cat mind 'WTF's happened to meeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! '

gahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kit Kit (I don't know what his name is :blink: ) will be sharing the same fate soon..........it's a walk-in place and lazy, slattern mommy hasn't gotten up early enough to take him yet :ph34r: But no going outside until he gets those nutters off...

Lurve the train station :lol:

Which piece should be proclaimed Newman's new masterpiece? Which work has him more agonized, more in despair over the fate of modern humanity?

Yes, this was debated for the better part of an afternoon.

I collected my concentration coursework, and headed over to the English department. :lol::lol:

Hehehehe & also grammar etc doesn't keep changing while under close scrotiny scrUtiny.

POeterrrrrrr....there's a winter storm warning in effect from Windsor straight through into the Gatineau Hills - - we're expecting 25 cm, and you must be braced for a dumping, as well.....belated phlipover deluge?

Hehehehe & also grammar etc doesn't keep changing while under close scrotiny scrUtiny.

:lol: Yes, 'tis true.......

Smack is up way too early. Gah.

Nik, those were astonishing eyebrows. . . . .my crazy daughter may have double-jointed brows as well...should ask her what she can do. She manages all sorts of Ripley's bizarre movements with her eyes - - moving one pupil while the other stays straight, or both in opposite directions....rather lizard-like and quite a parlour trick. ... . ... :rolleyes:

OMG those roads are terrible! Took us 45 minutes to get to work....a typical 15 minute drive. It was not fun. Then you have the drivers going way too fast for the conditions.

So here we are another day of work upon us. I am hoping it will be quiet...due to the roads and all.

off to work sillies!

I bet glaucoma meds are super spensive, you're so in love with that dogie ain't ya?

I drove in at 6 this morning, the roads were bad but I can handle it, the problem was the people with rear-wheel drive trying to kill me. You know, half those vehicles have 4-wheel capability, but THEY DON'T USE IT.

Snaugh here too! Most schools are closed--the ones out here and the Philadelphia schools, too. Don't know the official number, but it looks like 4 inches in me driveway.

I'm not gonna miss snaugh at all! :P

I'm planning to take a stab at cinnamon swirl bread today using my GFP French Bread Mix. Gotta phigure out how to finagle the batter so I can coat it wif cinnamon/sugar and roll. <scratching head>

flourgirl Apprentice

Weather is pretty shtinky here, too. Not only the snaow (only about 2"), but a heavy coating of ice on top. We're expecting more freezing rain and mixed krapp. Schools close here for everything because there just isn't the equipment to handle clearing the roads (lots of mountainous back roads). 'Course.....this does not directly affect me....no chilluns in this house, and very few in the neighborhood. My son moved a lot farther away from winter than I did...he's in Arizona! Smart boy! :P

Hey, what's goin' on wif you Yanks, closing all yer schools with a sprinkling of psnaough?? Hell, y'all need to head up here - - our schools literally never close..... . blizzard conditions, two feet of the stuff, 'tis business as usual. The school BUSES can be cancelled, but the school staff is all waiting for your kids if you deliver them.. . . . . . .. B)

Ja-gnitt, poor Josie! You may need to eventually get her a seeing-eye mouse . .. ..

Yes, 'tis true.....the danger in driving on days like this is often with the a$$holes driving behind and beside you. . .. . . .

I need him, too. My daughter is out there right now, doing odd things along the side of the driveway, strange zigzags .. . . . perhaps she is moving her eyes in opposite directions . .. . . . :huh::lol:

Will and I have a very important, final meeting with our litigation lawyer this aft. I remember telling you guys about the horrific accident DD had, all due to school board negligence. :angry::angry::angry: It was four years ago, and just now we have our final presentation to make to the board's insurance company. They reaaaaaaaally owe my daughter. So, we'll see. . . . . .

Haven`t checked in on me dad this morning....off to do this. . ..

Carry on, Sills!!

Hi Em! I know what you mean about schools not closing no matter what. When I lived in the Adirondacks it took a lot to get the schools closed! But then again, the snow and bad weather is the norm, and they had the equipment to deal with it. I loved front wheel drive cars, I could get to work safely no matter what! Such an improvement over rear wheel drive!

This weather does not stop the builders. Am listening to heavy equipment, until it vibrates my skull and thru my head! Am trying to be grateful that it's winter, and that it's not nice weather when I want to play outside in peace and quiet! UGH ! <_< Hopefully they won't be too much longer at this.

Good luck with your meeting today, Em. They do owe her--what a thing to have to go through, especially for a child. I'll be sending good, positive thoughts to you and Will. :)

Let us know 'bout dad.....

I say butter or grease the pan, pour some cinnamon sugar in there and swirl it around to coat, just like flouring a pan. Then once the batter's ready, slightly stir in a swirl of cinnamon sugar, then it will mix itself just a bit more as you pour it into the pan. That's what I'd do, anywho. It'll probably take some practice, you'll just have to do this again and again.... sigh.....

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      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!
