I have far less patience for people's nonsense than when I was a 'young lady'.

If that ain't the troof! Slovenly poohead, indeed <_<

:ph34r: I really like "Thank God I'm a Country Boy". A real knee slapper :P

YES!!! SAVE THE CIVCKEB!! :lol:

A new psillieville classic!

Later peeps! :D

Later, Nik :D

Morning Sillies!

I need to rant and I am sorry but this has been boiling inside me since yesterday afternoon.

As long as I live, Amanda, I'll never understand such people. :( Breaks your heart sometimes, doesn't it.........

I circled the house, going from window to window, hoping hubby had left one unlocked after the warm spell this weekend--and yea--he did. I had to hoist myself up from a vinyl lawn chair to the bedroom window and pull myself through.

....picturing this whole debacle...... :o Look at it this way, minimom--yer day now has no where to go but up!! :D

Me mum called last night.....an old friend of mine (went on me phirst "real" dinner date with him, but were better friends and hung around daily all through high school) has passed away :( We lost touch almost immediately after graduation, as often happens, but still.....

Em--The quote function is not working for me very well this morning--it took 3 times to get as many quotes up as I did here, but I can understand your mom's wanting to keep the party low-key. I know that even wif just immediate family and a cake, it's going to be a lovely, meaningphul gathering celebrating the special day of two wonderful pholks :D And that's what counts!

What a crappy situation, Amanda! :angry::angry: You got exactly the right word -- MEAN.

Pahteigh.. .. .I'm really sorry to hear about your high school chum. So young! :(

I had to hoist myself up from a vinyl lawn chair to the bedroom window and pull myself through. My dog thought this was an an amazing trick--he was rather jealous, I think. He's now eyeballing my opposable thumbs with a look of wonderment and envy.

The bad news--me thighs are now bruised from knee to hip

Raechull! Quelle aventure. .. . ..... :lol:

Thighs are now bruised -- not rubbed like Jyess's.. . .....thank GAWD for those opposable thumbs! And thank gawd me dogs do NOT have these - -I'd never see them again!

Jess- Your mom looks so young! I definitely see the resemblance! Jess's drunken postings :lol: :lol: I am so sad I missed the pahtee!!!!!! And patteigh's frosted buttercream brownies........I think I just had a FOODGASM!

WHAT IN HELL???? I can't leave you kids alone for a MINUTE!

I leave with your father to go watch a movie, just one hour of peace, and I come back to find Susan getting snifgf'd by strange men, Jess is typing like a dislexic scotch moron, Patty's snoot is phul, somebody stuck little paper fritu thingiers on the hoes, and the damn beans are ho' tubbin it in the CROCKPOT, for Gods' sake?! Tsk, tsk, ladies--and gents--you have been naughty little pups. Now straight to bed, all of you. No pudding for you. <_<:rolleyes:

I had not made those brownies for quite a while (seems they're always sold out....) and I think they changed something--they're even better than they used to be! I'm pretty sure they used to make a 9x13 inch pan of brownies--this was only for a square pan but no dry edges and just as chewy and moist as could be :D

Can't make them too often, though....betwix Mark and I, they only lasted the weekend :P

HERE i IS!!!!!!

I know, I'm a horribly recalcitrant silleee. I can't keep myself inside when it's nice, so this past weekend we pruned up our blueberry bushes. As a result, I'm currently sitting at home on the computer because I have poison ivy all over my face and don't want to go out in public. It's all over my cheek and under my chin and oh gee, now it's spread to my EYELID. It's all over my hip too, but I can't even hardly notice that while my FACE IS ON FIRE!!!!!

Whaddayou guys do for the poison weed? I'm currently slathering on tea tree oil cream and holding cold things to my face. My current cold thing is a hunk of cheese. I confess though, I prefer a flaming face to that God-awful itch.

Paddddeeeee.....

Can I have a brownie?....... :(

If I had any left, I'd send ya one! :lol:

Sorry bout the poison ivy :( I've only had it once--and that was enough! All over me legs, arms and phace. I tried everything, but nothing really worked to get rid of it except time. Cool showers, not getting overheated/sweating, and calamine dabbed on with a cotton ball helped the most. Try not to scratch.

Pheel better! :)

I actually am really good about avoiding it, because my reaction is so unpleasant, but we were pulling up roots I didn't know were ivy roots, and then I got whipped in the face by a blue berry branch, so I was rubbing it, and blah blah blah....... you'd think I'd learn.

NOPE! I've been good, if it itches too much to handle I just do something that makes it burn instead. I only itched it on the spot on my face before I realized what it was, and that's definitely the worst patch. You know, my job requires me to work with guests in a small enclosed space. I look like the Frankenstein monster. I didn't realize I was so vain before.

Hey Sillies,

Back is messed up and being on the computer (my posture or sommat) really antagonizes it so you shall only see me briefly over the next few days.

I think we've hung around each other too much . . . (never!!!) . . . Rachill says sumptin about her thigh and I plan to make a "Jess will rub it" comment and someone (don't know who now) beats me to it!!! Bunnie talks about her poison ivy and I plan to comment on "Who does your rash resemble", and once again, I am beaten to the punch!!!! I think we are all probably starting to look alike, too . . . my hair seems to be curlier than it use to be a couple of years ago.

JoDog's chill pill . . . well, she was still all excited, just clumsier whilst jumping stumbling around . . . I don't think that's the intention!!

Gotta Go. Can't sit in this chair for too long.

You see--this is exactly what I'm talking about!! Schmucks, mamzers, pishers. Amanda, you sound like a lovely, compassionate person, and I say screw 'em. Do something nice anyway, inspite of the bastiches. That poor woman! After all she's done for them, and they can't even scrape a few bucks together for a card? Bah! :angry:

Me mum called last night.....an old friend of mine has passed away :(

Patty, so sorry to hear of your loss. It kind of brings life into a little better focus, I think, to hear such sad news. Did your friend have a family--spouse, kids? I always immediately think of those left behind when I hear something like this--How they must be hurting! What will they do?

The 'debacle'. Yeah, twas interesting breakin' into me own home. My dog thought I was some kind of magician. One minute he was following me from window to window, looking out at me like "Uh, watcha doin?" The next minute, I was standing in the back room. He came down the hall and found me there with the most hysterical look upon his face. "WIH?? Whoaaa...how did you do that? Are you a witch er sumfin'?"

Then, as if I needed a good hosing, when I got to work a pipe broke under the sink and positively showered me with a full pressure spray of several gallons of water. What a mess!

I call this my rat's a$$ stage of life. You do whatever you want - I don't give a rat's a$$.

You go girl!

*note to self: don't ever--EVER--piss this one off

I think I just had a FOODGASM!

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.
    • Scott Adams
      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb
    • trents
      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
