It's actually quite bad Open Original Shared Link and the rain is expected to continue for several more hours (then a brief break before the next storm :o ). While some rivers flood every year, it's usually in the spring. This winter water storm is unusual. They've even canceled Amtrak service.

Gads. Could be a bad winter.

Maybe you and BE can be phflooded in together. one cannot be expected to go to work or take finals if it means you must go thru the phflood waters.

Matt survived the camping. Said it wasn't too bad. The kids lost his marbles. :unsure:

Well, ya see, this is a country founded by the Brits (after they took it away from the Maori) and there is a certain sense of tradition to be maintained and proper decorum observed, which means that the traditional red Santa with his snowy white beard and his fat belly and his Ho's to the third power usually prevail. But you can tell Jeff that there are some rebellious Santas who still wear a Santa hat, but throw off all that other suffocating stuff, and instead of arriving on sleighs, come zipping in on surfboards - scares the heck out of some of the wee ones who think this kind of Santa will not come down chimneys and bring pressies :o The younger (teen) generation is in the process, it would seem of developing different Christmas traditions. We have long since abandoned the outmoded notion that you MUST have the traditional Christmas dinner at midday in sweltering heat, trying to stuff down the last of the Xmas pud. Mind you, lots of people still do this, but the more enlightened take a pique nique to the beach or a local park (that's what we are doing this year with a couple of other couples, we oldies preferring to lounge in the shade instead of bake ourselves red in the sun

Now my boys are wondering what sort of Xmas tree you have, if you have one? Also, do we want to see a fat Santa in a wetsuit or beachwear? I think your Santa must be buffer than ours.

Well, most peoples do the traditional tree with the balls (but no penii) and the tinsel and the angel plonked on the top, but they tend to be pine trees rather than fir (Monterey Pine is particularly well adapted to our climate, but does not make for a good tree :blink: ). I have opted out of the tree tradition since hub accidentallly :P threw out all my ornaments, and instead just go for a yule log or sometimes nothing at all depending on how grinchy I feel (and depending on who's coming to the house). Fake trees are very popular sine the green movement got into full swing. Most Santas wear cushions and other padding so the bowl of jelly on a surfboard (revolting thought :rolleyes: ) does not happen. Don't think I have ever seen a non-buff surfer, and have no desire to :P

Thank you for the informative cultural lesson! We are happy to know that most or all suffers are in good shape.

BE and his dd came to see the show last night and I met them for drinks afterwards. Will see BE tonight after the matinee to find out where I scored on the (female) child approval rating. His son does not approve of his father dating, so that introduction may not be for a while. :ph34r: :ph34r:

I accomplished nothing today, other than scarfing down some very tasty yams.

Dear gawd.. . . . ..this is a gluten-free forum! The personal messages should absolutely have as long a shelf life as the gluten-free, preservative-loaded, processed and packaged foods we must buy! (currently have a bag o' bagels in the fridge that are fine after three weeks, I believe). . . . . .

:rolleyes:

They should be. Is your messenger full. I know it only keeps 75 messages.

No "shelf life," but you can't reply to a conversation if the party who began it has deleted it from their messages. It sounds like that has happened here.

Deleted it by mistake. My bad!!!

Wonder if Rashelles's final will be postponed. Here's hoping. It's been a raging storm here and the last time it was like this a lot of people lost their homes. Thank God we're on a hill so the water flows down. I'm praying for the people who live in the downtown area and by the ocean. Being on an Island has it's pluses and minuses.

P.S. Am I confusing Rashelle with Jesse going to school?

Returning to being psilly (and I hope I don't offend anyone or get kicked out of my dear psilly thread) Clark and I bought Tony some rather disturbing gifts for Christmas (it's the what do you buy the boy who only wants money). We bought him an "Enormex Condem" (he's still a virgin but always talks about how large he is). We've always been open talking about sex so we thought he'd find it phunny. The back of the package says"to ensure maximum protection from conception this product has been rigorously tested on an African bull elephant before being rinsed out and re-rolled and packaged." Novelty item only. He also asked for a Jesus Action Figure. There are at least 6 on Amazon. Better than a Sarah Palin Bobble Head. The Beatles poster and X-box games we bought him are tame.

Hugs from a blushing Loey who better get down to wrapping gifts before my computer goes all whacky on me again for procrastinating .

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
