The only movie that's ever freaked me out as a kid, and still does is the Disney movie Watcher in the Woods. Freakin' FREAKY!!!!

Gawd, some severe dating of meselph, here.. . . . there has only been one movie that absolutely terrified me as a child: When I was about four, my sister and her boyfriend let me come along to the drive-in to se (the original -- probably 1970) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I have very few concrete memories from that age, but I recall perfectly the scene that had me suddenly screaming in fear, causing my sister to have to rush to the backseat and try to console me. No goin'.. .. .I was screaming, crying, hyperventilating. . ...they finally had to start the car up and go home, where I proceeded to have nightmares for many sleeps afterwards... . ..

It was the scene where the fat little bratty kid falls into the vat of chocolate and disappears into the processing machine.

:huh:

:lol: :lol:

Dear gawd.. . . . ...I still get a little.. . :unsure:..... ..anxious.. . .. ....jus' thinking about it.... .. ...

Cannae see Giann-knits clip 'cos me computer runs like crap 'Shockwave flash has crashed' ...

Shockwave Flash. . . . .....this is a perimenopausal incident, methinks, no?

I also remain bumfoozled re. the butter/jam phenomenon. . . .... . rather the same puzzle exists for me with Marmite/Vegemite... . . ....does it go on toast? Does one melt a spoonful of it into a mug of hot water and drink it? (DH does this........dunno if it is proper protocol).. . . . .:huh:

Personally I buttter the toast them put jam on (NOT jelly, so we're clear)

OR, a dollop of jam on rice pudding....... or just straight out of the jar (Nom, nom!) tongue.gif

Marmite or vegemite straight on the toast... potentially a tea spoon in a cup of boiling water.

Glad we cleared that up!! laugh.gif

HEY, Gnick! Looks fab! Are you doing the 10K?

Aye. I am smile.gif

Spent most of the day debating what to wear for it...long sleeve, layers, short sleeves?, long running tights??

I need to travel 30 mins on the train to get there (bloomin' chilly in the morning) but get hideously hot when I run

GAH!

Warning: very unpsilly stuff ahead!

We were eliminated. Our robot did OK but not as well as it should have in the last rounds. That's probably the hardest part for J to take- his last robotics match and he didn't do his best. Glad hub was here, I couldn't talk to J without crying. It's really hard to see your big strong son in tears. The 2 girls on the team he has known the longest were looking at him helplessly. I'll try to be silly later.

:( Man.. . . . . your poor boy. His team did SO well, though! But I know....it just ain't the same as takin' the whole thing.

DD's competitive hockey team is in their final tournament this weekend. For Sophie this is big, as it likely is the last comp hockey tourney she will ever be in. We play tonight, and if we win it's the semi-final game tomorrow morning, and then the gold medal game @ 4:00. She REALLY wants to make it to the end, too!

When I was posting I thought, " Em & Sophie will know how we feel.". He is better. He is drinking a $5 Mt Dew and eating $3 peanut M&Ms. When he was little, we called it "the chocolate cure".

So, this evening we had the annual charade known as "Earth Hour."

Here in Ontario, our electricity is produced primarily by hydro dams and nuclear stations, both of which emit no carbon gases. Only a tiny fraction of our power comes from emission-producing fossil fuel sources.

So, apparently this evening many Ontarians turned off their emission-free electric lights and LIT CANDLES! Candles are made from paraffin, a wax derived 100% from fossil fuels.

So, to protest carbon emissions, they turned off their emission-free electric lamps, and lit carbon-emitting candles. Huh? Why don't we fight for peace? Or, maybe, drink to sobriety?

Yes, if the latent power hidden within our community could be harnessed.. :blink: but "Methane is a relatively potent greenhouse gas." ... and dangerous around candles... :o

OooOOh, PoOeter, don't get me started!

Earth Hour... .. . . .dear gawd. Ontario produces large surpluses of energy, quite regularly. And what is Ontario regulated to do with this extra energy that we are so strongly urged NOT to use? We must PAY the province of Quebec and New York State to take it off our hands. PAY THEM. In December of 2010 we paid New York and Quebec 53 million dollars to take our extra power.

:huh:

:blink:

:angry::angry:

I turned on every single light in and around my house last evening during Earth Hour.

Okay... . ...enough political speeling.......

Carry on!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
