Fab! We have been on a trip and forgot to bring a wine opener. Wish we had seen this very educational video. Why don't they teach these practical and important lessons in school?

Oh, I'm sure they're good for sumfin......but they smell too much like cigs :D

I've been popping in and out the past few days, reading along and doing my duties ;) Just not chatty. I've been stuck in Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I'm almost done with The Girl Who Played with Fire. Has anyone else read these? Was anyone else as ticked off at the end of the Dragon book?!?!

I've also changed the name of our house to the "Harvey Hostel" My brother and his girlfriend moved in...temporarily...on Sunday and DH's cousin and his girlfriend are moving in tonight...temporarily...I'm in denial. I didn't need to double the amount of people in my home in a week and we have no idea how long it will take for these young'ns to find apartments :blink: We are down 2 bathrooms too. And no one is paying rent or helping with groceries. Or helping with meals. I actually don't mind my brother being there. We've been thru a lot together and it's nice to spend some calming time together.

Anyone else need a room? Can't promise a view, or a room wifout big-arse spiders, but yer more than welcome, and I do bake ;):D

Me too! Read the Dragon Tattoo while in ICU - gave me summat to do besides flutter :P and no, I didn't mind the ending that much. Am halfway through The Girl Who Played with Fire, but like you, have been doing my duties!! ;) on the QT.

Ye gods, Rayshellle, boarders who don't pay board OR earn their keep :rolleyes: Is this some kind of of charity you're operating, like a halfway house or somefink?

Don't think I'll take up yer offer cuz big-arse spideys and I don't get along too well :blink: It's either them or me what's got to go.

It going to be 100 here tomorrow & humid. I don't mind spiders. Could bring a spider & a bug book & magnifiers & the kids & I could identify your insects, Isopods and arachnids.

I've read the Dragon book . . . I also didn't have a problem with the ending. Have not read any of the others but they are on my list. Book club took a field trip to see the movie (had subtitles) . . . my imagination was not quite as graphic as the movie. I've heard they are going to do an American version.

RayShell . . . I'm going to beg off a visit to your house for now seein' how I just got home and all. Also, when I do visit, I am willing to kill or relocate big-arse spiders and thus hope to earn my room and board.

Yes, please come! I've put down glue traps inside one of my basement closets and I checked tonight-apparently there was a pack that was on it's way out of the closet when they were so rudely stopped by my trap. I caught 5 big, hairy beasts :blink:

I think I would pay you to come and stay if you'd take care of the spiders for me!

I was really happy with the Dragon book until the very last page....the way the relationship worked itself out wasn't what I was expecting. I'm 3/4 done with the Fire book and it's all the same characters so it continues. It's really, really good!!

      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...

      We feel your pain. 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.
