Boy, I'd sure like to propagate her flower. That is one hairy stamen.

Totally belongs in the "things that may sound dirty to some" spot.

OMG.....have I a hairy stamen?? :unsure: ...Or are they supposed to be hairy? I suppose it depends, as do many things, upon which country you are in.. .... . ....

North Americans cannot abide hairy stamens, methinks. . . ... :huh::lol:

Susan Boyle is SUBO? GAHHH! :lol::lol:

OMG - yesterday a big old laaaaaaaaazy bumble bee flew into my yard :lol: I snackled and called out "oh Lloyd, LLOYD, is that you????" but he didn't answer so, I guess it was someone else.

....Have NOT seen Lloyd 'round these parts in a couple of days. . . ... :unsure: ....could he have high-tailed it to CA in that time? Actually, he could have just died. How long do bumble bees live? Some insects are around for less than a day, methinks......Lloyd: FOUR YEARS, and counting. :rolleyes::lol:

I made that orange-almond cake referenced in the starbucks thread ---- DROOOOOOLLLLLLL

I had to take some to my neighbor to keep from eating the entire pan in two days. She and her mom thought it was so good they came over demanding the recipe.

Seriously tasty.

Stupid question--are the oranges peeled before you boil them?

Here I is anyway. Got nowt much to say though.

Don't see many Lloyds where we will be next week, but lots of grey squirrels, Douglas squirrels, big fat ground squirrels (I guess in some places you call them prairie dogs--issay the same thing?) and plenty of mountain jays, quail, some bobtail rabbits (and CATS :o ). If we decide to fill the feeder on the tree all hell breaks loose, with the squirrels devising means to get at it, the jays making tremendous commotions and swinging wildly to and fro (I hate those noisy blighters) and generally scaring the heeell out of the wildlife populace, and the ground feeders getting the most because the jays knock it all on the ground and the rabbits and quail and other little birds and other peace-luvin critters sneak in when no-one's looking....probably won't fill the feeder! :(

The antarctic express made another unscheduled stop yesterday, shooing us on our way with more snow and hail so that we had to light the Tulikivi to keep ourselphs toasty. Shoulda left weeks ago. Guess I should think about packing somethings?? do you think?? :rolleyes:

Hi all B)

Got naught but wanted to say hey ya'll :D

Mark and I took a nice walk tonight after dinner--down by the canal. It was hot today, but cooled down nicely by this evening and it seemed less humid.

Went to Starbucks today and got a little adventurous :P I had an Awake Tea Latte--I told the barista about my cross contamination concerns, so he frothed the skim milk in a disposable cup and didn't use a spoon--just poured it in. It was delicious--and I got to order a "fancy" drink!! :rolleyes:

Not stupid. I had to look it up. Don't peel them, boil them whole. When they are all gooshy take off the stem bit, and cut them open to get out any seeds. I also added a shot of almond extract to mine, but I have this thing about never doing anything the same way someone else did it.

5.1??? Were you even conscious?

This would be a good time to explain that Canada uses a different scale than the US.

5.1 mmol/l would be 92 on the US scale of mg/dl. To convert, multiply/divide by 18.

Nowt else to add tonight.

Cheer and chriping birds to y'all. Sadly, it's another work day, but I may try to skip out early. At least the thought of that possibility will keep me cheerful for a while.

That, and a pot of coffee...

I was wondering if agave would work as well. I think you might need to increase the almonds by a bit, maybe 1/3 of a cup? Or bake it a bit longer, or in a larger pan so it's thinner.

I think you could also decrease the sugar/sweetener by about half and it would still be fabulous.

I'M BAAACK!!!!!!!!!!

Been MIA for days and only had 7 or 8 pages to read......WIH? :huh:

We've been having computer issues. Have a laptop, now.......we're ignoring the desktop computer til it decides to get it's act together<_<

Brian got his leg Friday and he hasn't sit still since then! :lol:

I can nae keep up with him, cuz I still has pneumonia :( . I used the last of me prescription Sat. Went to the doc today cuz I'm still coughin with stuff rattlin around in me chest and makin me dizzy and not breathin up to par. He says it's not any better.

Soooooo........another 10 days of a stronger antibiotic, then back to the doc. He says it's not bad enough to require hospitalization. At least there's no more fever and the coughing isn't as frequent.

How are the bug bites, Suze? Bed bugs are makin the news lately.......practically an epidemic. That was my DD's problem......not lupus of the skin like the doc said. She originally thought it was fleas......so they bombed they're apt. Then had the manager bring in an exterminator. Then went to a dermatologist. Didn't know it was bedbugs til they moved out and found a nest of them under the boxsprings! :o Never had problems before they moved into that apartment.

Nik!.........is your visitor here, yet? :P See...........that is why 50 is so awesome! B)

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Potential celiac need advice

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      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.
