I must be losing it today...

.....and this is why you fit in so well here !

okay - so, I'm going to cheat again. Yes, I am. This time, just a small amount, like a cross-contamination, to see what will happen.

I mean, WTH???? I haven't opened this up for discussion to the rest of the forum because I don't want to get fish-slapped.

You lie ! .. you love getting fish slapped.

[nikki-uk]

No she didn't just say that .

Susie, what am I going to do with you? What's most likely happening here is that you've healed enough so that your reactions have changed. This happened to me, too.

Oh yes, yes, this is very well said Patti - I agree

Sense prevails at last !!

Janet, have a great time (OMG SOOOO jealous!!! a holiday without children or hubby????.......I cannot conceive of such a thing !!!! )

[blueeyedmanda]

There is no cheating allowed on this thread

[Darn210]

Janet!!! OMG!! this is fabulous....wonder if you'll check back in before you go?? I have friends who own a restaurant on Hilton Head - you HAVE to go see them!! It's called Scratch Kitchen, tell Leah that her little Tater Tot from California says hallooooooooooo! Just walk in and say - is there a Tater Queen of the South in here???

Yes, I am still checking in from time to time today but trying to stay away from the computer. Sometimes I lose big chunks of time when I'm on here with no recollection of how it happened.

OK, Tater Queen, Scratch Kitchen, Susie the Tater Tot . . . got it!

I mean, WTH???? I haven't opened this up for discussion to the rest of the forum because I don't want to get fish-slapped.

I believe the fish-slapping was going to come from this particualr thread, not the rest of the forum!

okay - so, I'm going to cheat again. Yes, I am. This time, just a small amount, like a cross-contamination, to see what will happen.

A recently passed anti-crime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed...

Ohhhhh, I get it . . . Susie's giving us advance notice of her criminal acts . . .

Tom - love the dingo emoticons. maybe we should petition Scott for ALL KINDS Of wacky things on there?????????????????? dogs, cats, piles of vomit, pizza, everything!

I posted on the technical help section asking if anybody knew how to get the green nausea guy in the body of the post. One reply and it doesn't look good. When I get back, I've got a plan (shhhh! it's secret I'm going to annoy him like a six-year old ) to get Scott to make it available. You know we could really (over)use that particular one.

And it has happened yet again!!!

Nikkitty - your av is TOO cute!

I second that, so inquisitive as John says about our cat.

That picture of Will is precious

I had to take some of my work home with me over the past weekend. Well I set up this area on the dining room table and got out my IPOD and all my work supplies i carted home in a bag. I am working and next I know Lucky is sitting up on the table. He is laying practically on the chart I am working out of. He has covered over my memo pads, ink pens, and everytime I reached for one of those post-it flags he put his paws on that....such a little helped. I kind of miss him at my desk here today. He would be the something furry to pet when you needed a break or needed some comfort from the stress. :)

[DingoGirl]

Susie, what am I going to do with you? What's most likely happening here is that you've healed enough so that your reactions have changed. This happened to me, too.

is THAT what it is? so..............does that mean I CAN cheat from time to time - not on purpose, but just for convenience's 's 's 's 's (?) sake? So confused.

.....and this is why you fit in so well here !

You lie ! .. you love getting fish slapped.

Only if certain people do it (cute guys?)

There is no cheating allowed on this thread

what? NOW you tell me!!!!!

Yes, I am still checking in from time to time today but trying to stay away from the computer. Sometimes I lose big chunks of time when I'm on here with no recollection of how it happened.

it is a vortex, I tell you, a veritable VORTEX of silliness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

ohhhhhhhh yes we sure could!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nikki!!! OMG LOVE that picture of your kit-ten!!!!!!!!!!!! so cute.

HALLOOOOOOO EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!

Just sittin' here, typing away, parole reports of convicts.

[Jestgar]

Consider yourself whapped upside the head with a big ol' salmon!

Are you nuts!! You've finally cleared enough residual antibodies out of your system that you don't have a heinous response when you've eaten gluten and you want to RETURN to "OMG I kissed my honey after he licked an envelope" levels of paranoia by filling your body back up with antibodies!!

It's like working out in the gym every day to get 6-pack abs and going back to a 6-pack of budweiser once you've achieved it.

[Mtndog]

OUCH- Nikki's punching me and pinching me and I'm already in pain.

Susie- You will not be slapped by anything so lovely as a salmon by me....it will be gelfite fish or better yet lutefisk:Every Advent we entered the purgatory of lutefisk, a repulsive gelatinous fishlike dish that tasted of soap and gave off an odor that would gag a goat. We did this in honor of Norwegian ancestors, much as if survivors of a famine might celebrate their deliverance by feasting on elm bark. I always felt the cold creeps as Advent approached, knowing that this dread delicacy would be put before me and I

[jerseyangel]

No, dear one....what it does mean is that you have healed enough that gluten possibly doesn't make you as sick for as long.......

What it does not mean is that said gluten isn't causing more damage--and that small amounts over time will cause inflammation and, well you know what happens along with the chronic inflammation

Step away from the gluten

You know I nag because I care

[Jestgar]

- not on purpose, but just for convenience's 's 's 's 's (?) sake?

please do explain the difference between these two statements?

[Daughter-of-TheLight]

It's official. Either I suddenly became sane, or the Danzon is the most BORING dance on Earth. *eyelid twitches* I'm going to go insane from the boring-ness!!!!

Me: AND i'm dancing the age of my little brother!!!

Carebears-and-other-brainwashing-little-children-shows: HA! You de-serve it.

Me: WATCH IT!

CAOBLCS(see above): NOOOOOOO!!! Save us and our little evil souls!!!

Me: What souls....

CAOBLCS: Uhhh...

Me: EXACTLY MY POINT-ETH!!

Friend: What is it with her and shakespeareian?

Me: Stop being so uptight-eth.

Hhi Silly Bev! oh no, NOT the gefelte fish!!!!!!!!!!!

please do explain the difference between these two statements?

well......for example, I might just EAT the turkey at thanksgiving, instead of cooking my own whole meal, taking the risk that there's the teensiest bit of poison in it.

However, my NEXT cheating experiment was going to consist of a SMALL/microscopic amount of the poison (as in a CC) to see what would happen in THAT case. Because, if I didn't feel a reaction at all, I would think, well, then once every month or two, I could *risk* a situation if complete stuck-to-the-bathroom onslaught did not occur..................AM I INSANE!!!!

Hi Daughter.

Please explain

1. Danzon

2. your Care Bear theory and disdain and the brainwashing by said Bears

3. Why you are so bored

....and anything else you care to reveal.

[elye]

I thought Danzon was a type of motor oil...or is it the blue stuff I spray into my toilet? The eyelid twitching could be from glutening...as could the bizarre dancing. Yes, daughter...Please explain.

[DingoGirl]

We don't have Danzon, that I know of, in the US.

Perhpas, Emily, this evil DANZON is the cause of the eye-twitching and mad boredom? Perhaps she drank it?

Hi Carla!

Hi Andrea!

<OMg they're going to find out what I did>

[DingoGirl]

Emily, just a thought...

could it be something like St. Vitus Dance?

I don't knwo what that is exactly, just remember it from the wacky annals of my feeble brain.

Ditto ... yes, you are nuts, but that's what we love about you.

Adam is out of town for the third week in a row ... my kitchen is getting ripped out tomorrow, so I had to pack it up by myself ... needed to take Vicodin just to do it ... he owes me BIG ... he might owe me a massage tomorrow (yeah, he's out of town, I'll just bill him, LOL).

Vicodin to pack the kitchen...I would ask, did it take you to your magic place, but I am SURE that you only had to take it to get THROUGH the heinous ordeal!!! Yes, he DOES owe you!

[CarlaB]

Well, I don't complain about the pain much, but Lyme HURTS! Lots of muscle aches ... kind of like when you have the flu. So, the Vicodin just so I could stand up.

No special place ...

[tom]

... (Incidentally, this little emoticon I have just used has always confounded me. I have come to deduce that it must suggest a guilty admission, but visually it just doesn't seem to fit. It would be perfect for a moment where you are about to speak about your secret wish to conduct an armed robbery, or to become a hockey goalie, or an oppressed Afghani woman). . .

Yes Emily. I ain't 'fraid-a-no- . .. .uhhh little guy peeping thru the slats of a broken fence neither!

Dear tom,

Yes, Mr. Molar has been there through it all! Saying goodbye is so difficult! He has been there through popcorn, Milk Duds, Tootsie Rolls, caramel apples with nuts, tortilla chips, potato chips, and all kinds of other things! Does he have these happy memories, too? So many questions remain.

His blog, "A Molar's Rigmarole", is often as wonderfully silly as your posts, tho his biting satire gets him more comments and incisive retorts.

His recent expose "Front Teeth Spoiled by More Frequent Flossing" was 'a jawdropper'. Says so on the plaque.

Omg!! He dropped the Scandal Sheet after last month's mouth-watering controversy over the bi-cuspids' sexual (I should say "alleged") confusion.

And how hilarious was the new"Top Ten Things My Owner Would Give Her Eyeteeth For"??

I'm really looking fwd to the upcoming "Fact or Fiction: Back Teeth Float When Owner Neglects Bodily Function".

I couldn't believe the SciFi section's "Wookies - how Chewy ARE they?". Stupid Mr Molar! It's his freaking name!!!

Moving On . . . .

"Friends" - Chandler at the ATM during blackout ep? Wasn't the hot model Harry Connick Jr.'s wife? (Guessing Jill Goodacre?)

Hence: It is better to drink wine and talk stupid than to drink water and be full of s*#t.

!!

JANET!!! Woohoo! Hilton Head! I went there as a kid but I think we spent a longer time at Jekyl Island, not far from there if I recall correctly.

[tom]

Grrrr double post

[tom]

AwwwwwRIGHT then . . .. . .let's backtrack a bit shall we?

I have been in my bed since 7, reduced to crying, because the EVIL OPIATE is kicking in.....and so now I am CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!! already barfed twice. Stomach pain beginning.................oh this is NOT going to be pretty..........

Anyone else wonder whether our Susan could be better off in the long run w/ a fully convincing repeat of last year's debacle?

However, my NEXT cheating experiment was going to consist of a SMALL/microscopic amount of the poison (as in a CC) to see what would happen in THAT case. Because, if I didn't feel a reaction at all, I would think, well, then once every month or two, I could *risk* a situation if complete stuck-to-the-bathroom onslaught did not occur..................AM I INSANE!!!!

Our very own official "Thread Guinea Pig".

Can't really say CC, can we? Those are accidental and you/we need to know how much of what.

How about an 'accidental-sized' dusting of flour in a sauce as round one.

Round two can be a barley-containing non-wheat beer? Hmmm or start the beers w/ a wheaty Hefeweizen?

Then mimick "them good old boys, drinkin' whiskey and rye". Oops wrong Rye!

Hmmm What's a source of rye alone? Not RyeKrisp - I think they're mostly wheat.

such an EEEEEEEJIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <slapping self in forehead>

Can we decide in advance where the line forms next time? (Again, BYO piscene-punisher, if desired, tho gar & trout *will* be provided, so please do not treat Mrs. Inuki's koi pond as free slap-fodder!!)

I'm thinking a pufferfish, aka "mace of the sea".

Giada the Food Tart! :shwing:

Bah! No video on a sidekick.

Do the producers of her Everyday Italian track Nielsen #s as a function of each episode's cleavage quantity?

And why the excessive smiles after mundane missives like "then remove the outer leaves of your fennel bulb" ??

Carla! Nice new pic!

OMG - my thoughts exactly! It is FOOD PORN in its vilest sense!!! (that's actually not true, I prefer Paula Deen for the HARD CORE food porn, as I stare wistfully at her near-constant fried dough mounds and flaky pies, moist cakes...... )

Okay - - -the ONLY suffering was Friday night, after the binge.....nothing more after that! Just a slight ache in lower tummy on Saturday.

I am a reckless and stupid gal. I am thinking I WILL cheat again. No amount of piscene slapping can stop me!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOO-HOO- HOOO- HA HAHAHHAHHAHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and I'm not going to tell you guys when I do.

(how did Janet make that devil-horned emoticon?)

nighty-night!

p.s. one more thing - -

<--- THIS is the emoticon I think is most confusing for people - - to me, it means verklempt with glee - - but I've seen others use it when they are rolling their eyes (at a useless doctor, for example)...but to me, it looks really happy, like it would be clapping its hands with joy at some newfound gluten-free delicacy, perhaps? WHAT SAY YOU
