Mini Mom.....Good thiings often balance the bad. I'm sure all will work out well in the end. I know what it's like to try to balance multiple jobs and still be a parent. I think I hear the creaKing of a new door opening for you! Keeping your hubbies job opportunity in prayer. 'Tis so hard to lose a pet...they bring such joy to our lives and leave a great store of love and memories when they go.. Angels are not just 2 legged replicas of ourselves. They touch our lives while here and give us something intangible and beyond description. Hard lessons for a child, though.

Suess and her cabbages/cvibkegs (whatever). Good that you can get a laff over liphes strangeness. It's a wonderphul thing to have such a good reLationShip with your mom :) Consider yourselph fortunate......so many families drift apart and phorget that family members can be your best friends. I'm so rich in love with family.....so lukky!!!

Hope all is shiny in psilli-villi today!

Seriously, I have always wanted to see Washington.

You would just love my daughter. She is a riot--moody and bossy (don't know where she got it from :huh: ), but so fun. And if you guys think I'm a little wacked, wait til you meet Scott. I've been trying to talk my husband into joining the chaos and anarchy that is facebook. He's one very funny guy.

I had a vivid dream last night. . . ......we were having all of the bricks torn off the front of our house, and new ones installed. :blink:

I was rushing home from somewhere to meet the contractor who was heading up the job, and when I met him at the end of our driveway it was Willie Nelson. He began explaining how they were going to have to rip huge holes in the front facade of the house, permanently move the kitchen to the basement

Been thinking of doing some remodelling I see! :lol:

Daughter feeling better this morning. I sat with her for a very long time last night and held her. This was her first experience with losing a pet, and we all know how much it hurts :(

Things are actually looking rather upwards with my hubbies job, though.

So sorry for the loss of beloved wee Mousey. Your daughter has just learned one of life's harder lessons.; but what we lose on the swings we gain on the roundabouts. Good news on hubbie's new job possibilities.

Hope all is shiny in psilli-villi today!

Yep, been out there polishing the brass all day :D

.......can the psillies come out and play? :(

Psillies lost their way to the playground today; maybe they will find it tomorra??

You are the official spokeswoman for the Royal Palace--first line of business, announce the new decree that sadness and strife are hereby outlawed. Russians are the official drink. And a$$hats will be shot on sight.

Excellent decree, Your Majesty. Shoot a$$holes on sight, right!! (wif pleasure). No more sadness and strife--banished forevva!!

But red drinks??? I nae can have tomato juice!! Oh, not that kind of Russian!. Okay. :lol:

But here.........I kept psillyville untouched by it all

Right!. I believe the official quote is "Psillies are forevvaah"

Gosh, I did not know Grace had got an epitome already. Can I have one too?

Nowt going on here except cold and rain and snow and hail and sleet and it's still not even winter yet. We is bundlin" (kinda nice) :lol: . Cat doesn't mind cuz she's got lotsa fur (Maine Coon)

Nuttin new here....<boredphace>

Hey all! Thought I'd take a break and poop in here. Been painting the deck...2nd coat. Gorgeous day here...shiny and 80's. Luv it! I added some new fishies to my pond. 6 are tiny mosquito fish (they eat the mosquito larva....aaaaaaand alga...whoopee!). Also got 2 koy...about 6" long. The mosquito fish took off right away in a tiny little school. The Koy were reluctant for a minute...just kind of hung out where I put them in. One swam a little farther...I could almost hear him (her?) say...."Holy Crap Marvin...Look at this!" Then they took off for the far end of the pond, and back again! What a riot. I assume they are in the deep part now, because I can't see them. Or in the fake cave (a black tote with holes cut in). I'll probably be bored with them soon....but at least they'll be good for the pond....if the fish-eating-birds don't find them first. We have 2 statue cranes by the pond to fake out the herons.

Hope yer all having a great day, too. Later..

Tired. Humans were not designed to try to be intelligent for more than a couple days in a row. Any longer than that and my brain presents the human version of the BSOD. (Preceded my the usual warning signs; stuttering, difficulty loading pages, etc).

      @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

      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.
