Lord, I have all this to look forward to with Jack.... .:unsure: . ....actually, there will be no car parts strewn about with him. ... . . ..I'll be seeing model pieces, papers on various theses, scribblings on life... . .... .and these things can take up nearly as much space, so I won't be getting off easy, to be sure. BUT -- no epoxy paint smell. 'Tis good. .. . ....

On the outside picnic table 'round here there are no freshly-painted vehicle parts, as my seventeen year-old is a girl. There's a big, portable mirror, hair straightener and blow dryer, eyeliners and hair elastics, nail polish.... . . . . ..guess it was a kind of outdoor salon-type setting yesterday. . . . ....

:rolleyes:

Patti - did your boys do this, too? So many of his friends have no idea how to do anything on their car or change a spark plug on a lawn mower (probably because the Dads or Moms don't either).

Oh yes. The main reason JP moved into his own house at 24 was because he needed more room for "car stupf"....Matt was also at the age where he was getting into it.....add in Mark's car nuttiness....and our 2 car garage/short driveway wasn't cutting it.

All my guys know their way around the inside of autos--Matt actually went to school for it and has a specialized Associate Degree in auto tech and has many additional certifications. He was recruited while still in school to apprentice part time at a major PA dealership until he graduated. He's still there after 5 years :D

He has already restored a 1963 Corvair and his current project is a 1958 Plymouth convertible.

Hub has a Miata he works on and adds to - my parents order special parts for him for Xmas like red hoses. He is thinking about a piece of land 1 hour south of here because it has a large heated & air conditioned garage and is next to a lake. May never see him again. ;)

J went last summer to a friend who is a professional car painter (paints only the expensive specialty cars). He taught him how to paint his truck's bed cover. Said if the college thing doesn't work out, he would take him as an apprentice.

Man, I want a husband/son like this!! How phabulous to have a guy around who can change yer spark plugs/oil, flush yer radiator, replace lights and sensors.. . . ..... .

The guys around here can do garbage, walk dogs and clean kitchens quite passably. Oh, of course, and posit fascinating questions to ponder, inform me about the highest altitude on earth, the age Van Gogh was when he succumbed, whether or not turtles are amphibians or reptiles.... .. . . .these are all good things.

But I'll ALWAYS be takin' my car to the shop. .... . . . .$$$$$.. . ....<_<:rolleyes:

Yo no hablo espanol, pero, en la escuela secundaria he estudiado. Me permito recordar algunas.

abre la puerta

cerra la boca

da me una cerveza

which I think translates into: open the door, close your mouth, get me a beer.

that should get me pretty far.

I'll be going the end of August and plan to do barcelona, the southern towns, and Madrid. I may add some northern stuff, or just save that for later, depending on my mood.

Well, after two very hot and muggy days, today was pleasant. I am writing this sitting out on the deck at almost 10 pm. The sun set just over an hour ago, but the temperature is still around 20C and the humidity is just 33%. No insects either. :)

FlashForward ended last night. :(

Rob announced today that HBO has acquired the rights to "Illegal Alien" for a possible mini-series, of which he would be an executive producer. :)

What does an executive producer do, anyway? Does he produce executives? :huh:

Jess is going to Spain! :)

I think ABC goophed big time by not running all of the episodes at one clip. It's hard for people to get back into something after having it gone for months. It worked for Lost, but only after it had been on for several seasons.

I'm glad he has another TV project in the works :)

If you want, I work with a few Puerto Ricans, and I can ask them for some basic stuff. But Rican isn't really always the same as Spanish.....

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
