See, we have a modest bungalow, and a huge deck and yard that will not be too inviting as it will be -10 and snowdrift-covered. :huh:

Minus 10???....Is that with wind chill?? :unsure:

Pop a cardigan on, you'll be fine - maybe see how many people you can fit in a hotub?

OMG.. . . ...I am planning a BIG surprise birthday party for my sister here at our place next week. It's a work night, after dinner, so sweet nibblies, fruit and cheese trays, wine and beer, coffee, and a big cake.

Sent out my invites last week, and so far we're looking at 20 yeses. I have not heard from her large group of friends - - will be another 10, at least. Then I got an email from her work saying that ALL FORTY-FIVE staff members love her (no surprise), want to come, and what about spouses?

:o:o

Em!!! What have you done??? Maybe you should split the party up and have it on two nights . . . of course your sister will have to pretend to be "surprised" on the second night . . . but y'all have show biz genes from yer dad, I'm sure she could pull it off.

OK Patti . . . are ya back, yet??

I've always wished my hair were as pretty as yours curly but it always looked like a helmet <_< . It won't grow long without looking all scraggly and if my curls could do what yours do, I'd be happy wif them. But they don't, so I phixed em :P

Twas nice to catch up wif Estaban, too :D Haven't seen him in months!

I buy the mix pre-made at the grocery store, but essentially here is the recipe

Hot Buttered Rum Batter recipe

1 lb brown sugar

1/2 lb salted butter

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp vanilla

Blend all ingredients in a food processer or mixer and store in the fridge or freezer. To make a drink add a shot of good dark rum along with 1 or 2 tbl spoons of batter to a mug of very hot water or milk. Serve in irish coffee cup.

If I had gorgeous curls like Nik, I would go wif them, but mine are skitzoid--some corkscrews, some waves, no rhyme nor reason to it--plus the phrizz. I was phed up ;)

I have this same affliction, This is what I do to get phrizzless curles (I've tried every hair product out there and these are the best for my hair....):

Wash and condition well

Barely towel dry hair-will still be a little drippy, brush

Spritz all hair with Loreal Tightly Wound spray gel liberally

Add a baseball sized amount of Aussie mousse with leave in conditioner

Comb through

Turn head upside down, fluff up hair.

Using a hair dryer with a diffuser and set on the lowest and hottest setting, dry hair while lightly scrunching-(still upside down until about 1/3 of the way dry, then stand up).

ONLY dry 3/4 of the way, spray with hairspray, scrunch lightly again and adjust hair (like shaking out a bit with fingers) if it's too big ;)

Nik-Nik, can't you blow it out and then straighten it?? Would probably take a bunch of straightening/anti-frizz serum (I like John Freida for super frizzy hair-cuz mine is :rolleyes: )

Pahteeeigh, yer curly hair was GORGEOUS when I was with you.. . . .... .. ...I kept staring at it with a rippling envy. ...

:rolleyes:

Youse Brits is snowed in, Gnick?? Pray, how many centimetres have fallen? About ten? *chortle* *snicker* :eyeroll:

Dear gawd, I do SO WISH that our city closed down at these dustings of psnaough.......no blankie and buttered rum fer ME when the blizzards strike. One can venture out on the side streets and main roadways and see countless pedestrians struggling along, hanging onto trees and trudging through knee-deep drifts, cars travelling @ 10 km/h... . ...out doing our errands, pulling our kids to school in toboggans, dogsleighs. . . . ........

Yup. The show must go on . ......:huh:

It's so warm here, I'm supposed to go skiing on Saturday and on the mountain it's supposed to be in the upper 40's and rain! That should be fun with 2 kids...... :blink:

I have curly hair envy.

The problem with most straight hair is that it usually isn't actually straight, so it just looks.........blah. <_<

It's about time for a new perm, but I can never get the kind of curls I want. They're either too tight or too limp.

Snow predicted starting tonight......3-6 inches. Might not be working tomorrow :P

celiac-mommy Collaborator

I can nae understand it. Every year I look at these damned Peeps "marshmallows" and think, "Everytime you try these, you HATE them, you spit them out and you wonder WHY in the world you took the bite when you KNOW they're aweful!" Guess what I just did again :rolleyes:

Reminds me that my older son used to poke holes in a package of Peeps and let them dry out before eating them--he liked them so much better that way. :) He said they got "crusty"..... :P

Holy Smores!!! (<---- That's so appropriate in more ways than one :lol::lol: ) Your peeps talk and predict the weather??? OK, ummm, I've never seen that variety at the store . . . only the little chicks and bunnies at Easter, and snowmen and trees at Christmas, and some ghosta or summat at Halloween. Yeah, so maybe your peeps don't taste so good . . . :huh::lol:

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.  
    • trents
      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the milk protein?
    • Scott Adams
      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!
