Well, I guess it was too late to tell you to run for the hills, because your fridge somehow :blink: anticipated this phlipover and the milk started leaking (from a bag??? izzat how it comes in Canada?) ahead of time, real sneaky like, and the repairman cost so many bucks you didn't even care what size his thumbs was :o

All right, I need input as to whether or not this would qualify as phluid onslaught.... . . .you may be able to rest easy, pholks, as phluid indeed flowed here and caused a calamity, of sorts:

Last evening I heard a strange, rattling noise coming from the fridge. It got quite loud, and slowly abated (thank gawd) by the time we went to bed. Well, this morning the fridge wasn't working. I looked carefully inside, and a bag of milk that was sitting on the back of the upper shelf had been slowly leaking, and it was almost empty. It had run all down the back, into the freezer (which is on the bottom) and sat, pooling and freezing. So, the fridge had to be ripped apart by a $$$$$$$$ repairman this afternoon, and the fan and compressor chipped out of the ice milk. :angry:

Okay, so phlowing phluids happened here! Destructive, icy phluids! it's gotta count!

Phlowing phrozen bovine phluid! :o

Hmm... from the Urban Dictionary (for dose not out dere on da streets) ;)

Drop a dime:

To snitch on someone. Often, to save their own ass. Comes from the old cost for a payphone call, ten cents.

To narc somebody out, like Huggy Bear always does on Starsky and Hutch.

Huggy Bear's always dropping a dime, I can't believe he's still alive.

To rat someone out. As in telling the police about a drug deal.

Imma drop a dime on these niggaz.

So if ya only drop a nickel, does someone drop a dime on you???

(from a bag??? izzat how it comes in Canada?)

Yes! Methinks Canada is the only country that offers this bit of packaging variety. We have the option of buying a big package of three litREs of milk that come in three separate bags. One places the bag in a special milk-bag-holding container, snips one corner of the bag to pour, and there we have it.

Quite lovely, until one of the *!#%#1* bags leaks down the back of yer fridge.

Sounds like it to me! The worst kind too--requiring expensive remediation :angry: I phigured maybe you'd be saphe, Em, since yer Kween and all. I guess Kweendom doesn't offer protection from phlipover phluid pholly. Good to know :unsure:

Clearly another common wealth thing! huh.gif

BUT

...we abandoned it as the 'pouring mechanism' kept failing - slopping milk everywhere

It clearly needs some work rolleyes.gif

Still catching up, how IS everyone??

How do you close that up? If you had Mexican in the fridge or leftover cinnamon rolls, your milk would taste like that. :blink:

This is an interesting query. . . . .. . .:huh:. . ..For whatever the reason, that is NEVER a problem. I keep raw and cooked fish in the fridge, smelly, garlicy leftovers. .. . . ....never does our milk taste phunny. Perhaps sumfin' in the plastic.....:unsure:.. . . . . ..

So, it's a Commonwealth Milk Packaging System! Except... . . ..NZ apparently does not partake. . .. . ... . .I wonder if it was invented in the UK or over here? Probably across the pond - - we Canucks don't have many exciting claims to fame when talking about inventions.

Well....except for these astonishingly impressive must-haves:

The automatic steam-driven foghorn

Instant mashed potatoes

The bloody Mary

The table-top hockey game

Man, what in hell would the world be like without us Canucks thinkin' up these things??

Hi Psilles,

Just reading through all of the posts I've missed. Ever find out what died in your fridge (was it Em)?

Saw my back doctor today and he gave me trigger point shots. Guess what- it seems to have worked. I don't know how long they last but there's also another procedure that's longer lasting.

I swear I have a doctor appointment or lab test every day between now and the end of March. If it will make me feel well enough to take walks on the beaches in April I don't care!!!

Miss you all!

I was wondering about that stuff the other day. I'm not sure about the ingredients. Is it gluten-free? I'm thinking the gravy part might not be.

Maybe I could start some threads asking if odd foods are gluten-free. Chocolate covered ants? Marmite? Pork rinds?

Commercial plates of the stuff are definitely NOT gluten-free, but I know it can be made with cornstarch as the gravy thickener. OMG, I have partaken in a plate of poutine only three or four times in me life. .. . ...felt just horrid afterwards. . . . . ....fat......salt... . . ..more phat.... . . .. . ..

I think just LOOKING at the stuff is high-cal.. . . . ...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      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!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      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.
