Here, you can only buy beer (by the case only) at a "beer store". If you want a 6-pack, you have to go to a bar or hotel and purchase it there.

Wine and other liquors are only found at the Wine and Spirits stores. Nothing at grocery stores.

PA really needs to start to live in the modern times and start selling the beer in the grocery store!

Why is it 'torbie' and not 'tattie'?

'cause if she was a 'tattie' some Brit would snatch her up and sell her on ebay.

You Yanks have a hollerday today, n'est-ce pas? We've got nuttin' until Easter.......harumph.

Well, it depends. Here in Ontario, if you work in a provincially regulated non-union workplace, then the third Monday in February is Family Day. It was first observed in 2008. Federally regulated workplaces are not covered by the legislation, but some companies, such as banks, close. Many unionized workers do not get it off, because the collective agreement specifies what days are holidays, and most have not been renegotiated. Talk about confusion. We close the store.

If I recall correctly, California sells alcoholic beverages in grocery and convenience stores 24x7. So does Illinois, if my memory is correct. Such civilized places.

Hmmmm....tabbies......Bryce is our big male orange tabby...a 20-pounder. Big, lazy and in love with everybody. He deeply respects and fears Tess, our little 7-pound mix. Very hilarious - - I've seen her give him regular hell, this li'l thing loudly reading the riot act before the big, cowering boy . . . .. . . :lol:

a quiet yay.

I've been watching GMA and other coverage and I realized that I feel like this is the first president who is part of the culture he's been elected to serve. He uses a Blackberry, he emails, his wife dances with her daughters on camera.

Why did we ever have people running the country that didn't have an understanding of how the country ran?

You know - I'm sure there is some limitation...or maybe that was in the past :blink: ....I do remember the 'alcohol' section of Tesco's being shut off on a Sunday.

Not ever having had to buy booze @ 2.00am I'm not sure :unsure:

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Celiac symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
