I agree with Patti. I loved Flash Forward but couldn't keep track of when it was or wasn't on. Weather sounds lovely Peter.

Jess- in Spain they have Castillian (sp?) as a language, too. I think most people you will see will speak English.

Need some f book advice. The "MIL" has discovered fb. she wants to friend me. I am really friends with her ex hub and his sister. They were actually FILs step kids he adopted. I don't want her spying on me or thinking I like her. She and FIL have done some horrible evil things. However, it might be good to keep an eye on her. My SIL has already friended her so you will see some things that way. I'm planning on pretending I haven't seen it for a few days. Want to see if see friends the ex kids.

Jestgar Rising Star

You could friend her, then unfriend her later. She'll never know (unless she takes the time to look for your name on her friend list).

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.

OH fan- f***in-tastic!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I went to Barcelona with my parents many moons ago - BEAUTIFUL sights!!

...but I have to ask (as yer be but a few countries away) WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO ENGLAND?!?!

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 :)

Unfortunately, the same thing happened here <_< ... and when it came back it was on a different night - so I didn't get to watch it.

WORLD CUP!!! In less than two weeks!! :D :D :D

Oh yes!!!.... how can I forget? :rolleyes:

Flags will be hung outside (with bunting....do you have that? :unsure: )

England football kit shirts will be worn..along with hats, scarves,..whatever you can find with a St George cross on it.

Match schedules are being worked out.

Dan (my eldest) may have to play hookey from work if an England match occurs between 9-6pm...come to think of it, nothing gets done during these highly important matches. The country grinds to a halt.

The streets become bare like a plague has befallen us,tumble weeds blowin' through as everyone crams into pubs/living rooms...... the only noise to be heard is the roar when England score!!!! ..... ( we hope :rolleyes:)

T'is hard NOT to get caught up in it :lol:

Yeah, even lil ole New Zealand qualified for the Cup this time around, the last team to make it in, I think :(. Of course, we is holding high hopes for them :lol:, especiially since the vice-captain (do they akshually NEED a captain for that??) has fractured his shoulder last week :unsure: But that's all right because they have screwed it back together with three screws and he reckons he'll be good to go by the second match on the 20th :o And t'was one of them evil Ossies what did it to him :rolleyes: Go the All Whites!!

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. .. . ....

When Nathan was little, it was butterfly nets, jars of various bugs, maps......not sure what he was studying on the maps, then as he got older it was turtles, snakes, iguana......

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.. . . ..... .

My daughter Briana was the mechanic :rolleyes: ......learned from her daddy. She was very proud of herself that she could do what a lot of men couldn't. She tuned up her car, changed the oil, replaced the brake pads......

Nathan knew enough to keep his car running while in college.

GADS!! Some o' yooz kids breakin' up from school already??? :unsure:

Ours don't until late July, go back Sept

I've been out for a week. We go back August 2.

WORLD CUP!!! In less than two weeks!! :D :D :D

Nathan will be watching for sure! At the age of 13 he was in Ireland when they won the World Cup. Nathan played for years, and quit after high school. He is just now joining an adult league for the first time. Can't believe he will be playing in the heat of the Texas summer! :o

My favorites are John Mellencamp, CCR, Prince, Bad to the Bone dude and Bette Midler and Bret Michaels

The things in my bucket list are all mushy emotional things like "be more pleasant"...stuff like that.

My dream home is a 1940's farmhouse with a red and white kitchen and linoleum floor.

OCD - I have to pick up and put down my sock 5 times before I put them on. No idea where that came from, but it's the only OCD thing I do. basically.

What's a vacation?

We call him a back yard bred lab - (in a Ozark hillbilly accent)" You got a Lab and I got a lab, we can make a lotta money on the puppies." He has the big head and feet of that type and the skinny body of the slender ones. He's not too smart...but he's pretty!

It has been a while since I have visited the psillies. There are new phaces, and some pholks seem to be missing. Where are Suzie and Manda? I hope they are well.

A possibly phunny observation for Sunday evening: To a pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To an optimist, the glass is half-full. To a psilly, more wodka is defintely needed. :lol:

Hi Oscar!

You are my second favorite sesame street character. My favorite is the Cookie Monster! Years ago I used to play Quake (a first person shooter) and you could put different 'skins' on your character. I found out on the net someplace a Cookie Monster skin and loved playing with that - except that I absolutely stink at Quake. :)

So one day I was playing with about a 1/2 dozen co-workers at lunch and I was having a worse day playing than usual. I died at least 30 times in a 5 minute period and the hallway where I kept dying was carpeted with blue cookie monster bodies. It was kinda like the 'secret elephant burial ground' for cookie monsters! :lol:

I totally agree! Did you ever see the 'Far Side' comic where all the Sesame Street characters are gathered for Thanksgiving (I assume) dinner and there is an empty chair and a Giant 'Turkey-like' bird on the platter in the middle of the table? :)

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.
    • Jane02
      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
    • Matthias
      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.
