You guys is sweet :wub: :wub: :wub: I just try to translate how someone's words make me feel, into sentences. I'm glad I seem to feel the way others do.

Y'know, Bun, my boss stopped talking to me when I started wearing low cut tops and push-up bras. Kind of a good thing, so don't waste that sort of power on an interview...

Hee! My interview's with women. And it's at a company that does auto salvage and auctions. So if I need future leverage over a male muckety-muck at the company, I'd like to hold my cleavage in reserve! Besides, I've had enough co-workers think that glasses + cleavage equal sexy librarian tiger woman! Rar! Down boys, glasses just mean I'm nearsighted and lazy.... Cleavage means I need to do the laundry... :ph34r:

You can't fill a hole in someone else's soul. Your job is to enhance his life, not complete it, that's up to him to do. You are a vibrant, intelligent, loving woman and you are more than enough for someone who isn't hiding from themselves. You can't fix him. You can't make him see you for who you are. You CAN be the most amazing you that you are. Stop waiting for his approval, just be quietly awesome, as you already are. He will, or he won't, realize what he may be losing, but what he realizes is up to him, not you.

You are welcome to come up to Bainbridge for a weekend, if you don't mind construction and no kitchen. We can drink heavily and you can scream all you want.

Wow! You's amazin'! Very insightful! I flipped out on him yesterday afternoon. I told him he couldn't ask things of me and when I give him 100% of what I have, then complain that it's not enough. It's not fair. I told him it's his problem, not mine and if he's not happy with who I am, then MOVE THE F*CK ON!!! I don't deserve to be with someone who's always looking for something more. If I'm not enough, he needs to find someone who is. Oh yeah, and this really makes me want to jump in the sack with him.....give me a flippin' break! :rolleyes:

Bainbridge sounds like a blast!! Wodka, fresh air and most importantly--amazing company!!

Aint it the pitts? Just gonna have to do a multiquote on every post and then delete the whole blooming lot :blink:

That's what I do. Then my computer does this wierd thing--whenever I stop talking, it automatically shoots to the top of the reply page and I can't even see what I was doing unless I start typing again. It's epecially a pain since I'm not a fast typer <_<

.. .. ..And that you are young.. . . ...... <_<

And that you haven't nursed 2 kids to the point that you have to pull them out of your pants just to hoist them into a bra :blink:

NOW you're talkin'!!

Do you all remember the wonderful bib that I painted for my mom as a birthday gift a couple of years ago? She has always been a spiller -- while she's eating, drinking, preparing food - -always getting stains on her bustline, as that's where it all fell and stopped. So, I made her a HUGE bib that she could really use at the hospital now as she is getting into her clothes (great sign!). A big bikini-clad torso.... :lol:. . .I know it will be a hit there. Think I'll post a pic of it on Da Book. .. . . .. . ..

Maybe you've shocked him in the right direction. If not, maybe you can shock him in the right direction. They do those electic shock treatments at your hospital?

My computer jumps & makes it near impossible to babble on. I don't let it stop me! :P

Must see a pic of this! My mom always dribbles on herself. I don't think she would wear a bikini painting tho. Your mom has a much better sense of humor then mine.

Need some cooking advice:

I want to make a gluten-free dessert to take to the Robotics Banquet but I haven't really baked anything yet. Needs to be something teens will like & not to hard to make. Need to make lots because the kids will all want to try it. I can bake with gluten, just have to figure out how to without it.

The kids were quite matter of fact when I said I had to eat gluten free. Almost no questions because they are so used to all these different restrictions thier friends or they have. Mostly they just want to eat my Crunchmasters crackers or chocolate.

Kharreign,

If you want something simple, why not do gluten-free brownies? You can frost them and sprinkle nuts or something on top. Betty Crocker is good, Gluten Free Pantry is even better if you can find it. There are also tons of recipes for them on here in the cooking and baking phorum.

Did try the BC with added choc chips & they were good. Maybe I will try gluten-free Pantry.

We'll see, time will tell. He asked that we see a marriage counselor together but he doesn't want to see mine, he thinks she may have a skewed view of him :rolleyes: Probably true :P Thru his work, they cover so many sessions for free, so I will comply, should be interesting..... I just cannae take any more crap. I AM AMAZING and I should be treated as such ;) My cake turned out pretty good with all my frustration yesterday :rolleyes:

I'm pre-interview self-medicating with the almond butter brownies I made from Elana's Pantry website. They're pretty darn good, not for the normal baker though. I'll be frosting the lion's share for my 'birthday cake' later today, hopefully it will also be 'new job cake'! Or at least, 'interview went great' cake! We is goin to the club tonight, woohoo! My mum also sent me some mysterious birthday present project in the mail, very curious to see what it is, should get here later today.

TITLE: Darkest Chocolate Cake

SUBMITTED BY: Rachelle

RECIPE HISTORY and SOURCE: I've tried and messed with so many different recipes to come up with the best chocolate cake imaginable. This is my final result!!

INGREDIENTS

2c gluten-free flour (I use my own blend)

1 scant tsp xanthan gum

1 1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp sea salt (regular is OK if you don't have sea salt)

3/4c unsweetened cocoa powder

3/4c oil

2c sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2c espresso (or 2 heaping TBS instant coffee mixed into 1 1/2 cups hot water)

DIRECTIONS

-Preheat oven to 350. Prepare 2 9" cake pans, 1 9x13 pan or 12 muffin tins by spraying with cooking spray. Line cake pans with parchment or line tins with liners

-Fold dry ingredients together with a large spoon, then sift with a whisk until well combined

-With an electric mixer, mix oil and sugar until well combined, scraping the bowl a few times

-Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between

-Add vanilla

-Alternating dry ingredients with espresso, add to the wet ingredients, mixing well with each addition and scraping the bowl in between.

-Pour into prepared pans and bake until the center of the cake is set and a toothpick comes out clean 35+ minutes for 9" pans, 40+ minutes for 9x13 pan or 20-25 minutes for cupcakes

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
