A piece of the fence must have been knocked down during the earthquake last week. I have gotten M to fix it so you Psillies cannot escape to other threads! Just need to get you all back in the yard. Here Psillies! Vodka & wine! Martinis! That's a good Psilly. ;)

Thanks for fixing the fence Carengee! Irene knocked part of it down and then tired to blow everyone away! She only got off with a few shingles and pieces of siding though. We were stuck in our house due to flooded streets until the water receded enough yesterday and we could venture out. Lost power off and on throughout the storm. No loss of life for us or major damage thankfully! I could have used that vodka though. It was a pretty boring hurricane once the rain and wind left. Next time I will get a canoe so we can try to go to the store. :D Best video that pretty much sums up the hurricane here was this one from my local news: Open Original Shared Link

Trying to post some lovely cocktails but I think the iPad has drunk them. Weird things are happening, now. The forum is shrinking and stretching . May have to wait for it to sleep it off.

This strange, seismic activity that was rocking the forum last night was due to Irene, I'm sure.... . . . ..Hurricane Irene, not Manna-Irene...although perhaps it WAS you, Manna -- your ILs aren't in town, are they, causing you to throw furniture, toss unwanted junk out the front door?. . . . ..

Frequently.

Did somebody offer a Martini?

Yep, always Frequently. Oracle POeter and I are on the same page. B)

POeter, I am offering you a choice of morning martini:

Oh, well.. . . ... ...nice BIG martinis for you, POeter!! :D

Thanks for the giant breakfast martoonies :)

I think Scott is punishing our recent indiscretions by making Psillyville the only over-sized thread.

Or.....

perhaps he figured the old space was not big enough to contain us??? :blink::ph34r:

Well, it wasn't, since there were several Psillie Psightings in the Poll Post.

Having a great time at a two day class called "building a positive workspace". We answer questions in a workbook, then discuss them at our tables. I get to discuss answers like:

"Does everyone in your work environment understand their job description?"

with:

"there are no job descriptions"

and:

"How are new people introduced to the working environment?"

with:

"we've had people working for a couple months before anyone (but the boss) knew they were part of the lab"

Highly, highly amusing

and a little sad

Don't forget to use "frequently" frequently!

Feeling a bit like GFM's (Nonhurricane Irene's) in laws. We are going to visit J at college over the weekend. Bringing all the things he couldn't bring the first week of school.

Driving a long distance with a bunch of stuff we are leaving in a small space!

Well hopefully, unlike my inlaws you are actually bringing him stuff he needs/wants/will use! I'm sure he will find places for everything and if not, well that's normal dorm life! :lol: Are you taking him any peanut butter cookies so he can show the girls what they are supposed to taste like? :D

DD is moving into her residence on Sunday. Not a long drive for us -- perhaps 15 km -- but we'll have two stuffed cars. What in hell? Why is she taking two enormous suitcases full of clothing? She gets on a bus, comes home and grabs her winter sweaters in a couple of months....

Anyways, her room is on the fifteenth floor of one of the main res buildings -- the top floor, and there is no air conditioning. We are all hoping for a cool September. Also, the elevators, for whatever the reason, only stop at even floors. We have a sizeable bar fridge, dresser, huge suitcases and bags to haul up two flights of stairs from the fourteenth floor. :huh:

Dear gawd... . . ... .. .and how much is all this costing us?? <_<

Yes. I'm baking them this afternoon & freezing for freshness.

      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.
