Who else here has a second toe longer than their first?

That reminds me of George Costanza on Seinfield! The one where he breaks up with the woman because she is wearing flip flops and one toe goes over the edge of the flip flop...

Yeah... in addition to my second toe being longer than the first, it is curved (I took pointe lessons at a very young age and my feet paid for it).

Hail-oooo sillyville! <waving arms>

Dear gawd, I cannot believe it - - this gastronomical chaos that is poutine has crossed the border and ensconced itself into the Midwest.

For any who actually want to know the history of this bizarre thing, an older clip that captures the beginnings of the Quebequois invasion:

"Poutine" OMG! Just the name makes me larf :lol: But, the thought of eating it... "we take all de leftovairs and mix it all togedder" :blink: No thanks, mum :(

Gads, that poutine sounds like a right, royal MESS!--fit for our gastronomical queen. What say you, BunBun???

Yes, Qween Buns, what is your royal acumen for the poo-tine?

Pootine. Dies that come with a side of Lipitor and a dollop of Crestor?

:lol::lol::lol: Snort!

And Susan, my feet are better off left unseen <_< These days they look more like part of a ham than part of a gam :rolleyes:

I WENT SHOPPIN,TOO! Got:

A brand new Cadallac Converter- $277.37

Is this when a Cadallac converts to Fordism? :huh::unsure:

I think we should all put up avatars of our feet, and vote on who has the nicest.

Pfft! Yes!! Let's see those tootsies ladies :P I'll run right out and get the camera so's youse can see my ganglion cyst and toenail fungus :ph34r:

Welcome to all newbies!!!

Welcome back Nik!

Love all the new av's . :wub:

Well, my DD finaly took me out to lunch yesterday. It had to be someplace special, as it was not her b-day, nor was it mine but I could tell the minute we walked in it was special and promised to be a culinary oddisey. Fist of all, ther was not 1, but SEVEN different renditions of Elvis on black velvet, all in ornately moldy frames. They waere entertwined with gleamin peices of fishing tackle, and recently used meat-hooks. The waiters all looked forene (actually, didn't look human), but were exquisitively gowned in a beautiful phloral oil-cloth material. We were escorted by the Bain Marie to a table near the Gents room, that didn't have a door. But, all the citronella candles aroud the room masked the smell, and kept the hundreds of bugs at bay.

In came the phaux silver food cart, amidst a drum-roll by little hairless children all enrobed in an ugly cardigan sweater. This place went all out- no fake phaux silver for us, it was the real thing!My sweat glands were rolling and pounding in gustutory delight. First, they put out a pile of Pomme Frits, glistening in thier combination of unknown vege oil and rancid meat-drippins. Then, a globular mound of meat fat and phlour, topped off with a veneer of cassien and more animal fat! And I knew that it was the Frech-Cananadien dish, Putang! Thank God for the bambulance in the parking lot.

piss I think they stole this dish from my beloved homeland, Rusha

Oh Slutvana, you crack me up!!

. . . and I'll just defer my feet picture to Raechull's . . . sounds 'bout the same.

On a side note . . . a long, long time ago (before children) in a land far, far away (Cincinnati), the crowd that hubby and I ran around with had a standing policy. If you left your camera unsupervised, we would take several pictures of feet . . . back in the day when you actually had to have your film developed.

What's with all the feat fetish today? I'll put my feets up to anyone's pheets. And I have on many occasions. And, with many other body parts! So, you want to have a neat feat contest. Bring it on!

I'm not insulating that my feet are superior to anyone elses, but that they are far better than any of youse pheets. In a foot contest, I'm a hands-down winner.

Do you think I might be kind of bored today?

Here about the guy with 2 left fett? He had to go buy a pair of flip-flips.

Actually, I'm cooking marked down meat I got cheap so I don't get food poisoning. So, I'm typing between flipping.

Do chickens have penises?

Wait! This should read, Do chickens have penii?

No, wait! Do civckebs have penii?

Um, well.....roosters do not mate with hens. They simply do sumfin' to the egg once it has been laid that causes the yolk to further develop into a chick.

Sumfin like that.. . . :huh: .......I'm way outta my league, here.

Jyessssss???

Well, methinks one might want to be chained to Sluvestzka's feet, as they are apparently divine. .. ....... . .would win Feet Contests, an' all. . . ........ :lol:

My husband feels like he is chained to my feet. Poor clueless footless man.

Of course chickens don't have PenII. They are female. Roosters must have penusess because if you have chk they will lay eggs without a rooster, but they will lay fertilized eggs with a rooster, so they must have coitus. As must we all, if we want fertilized eggs. I have no eggs, so I can safely have sex with any rooster if I can find One willing. All I'd have to worry about would RSTD's. I used to raise ckickens in my hippy-dippy organic farm days. Never thaught about doing it with one, though. Could I be the definition of a "dirty old lady".

Who else here has a second toe longer than their first? Um, this, to me, is visually disturbing, quite an ugly glitch.

When I was growing up, and all of us running around barefoot, we thought *everyone* had feet like ours. We all had the same shape.....2nd toe longest, the rest making a nice curve down to the pinkie-toe. THEN!......My oldest brother got married....and this girl had SQUARE FEET!!!!! :o . It was hilarious to us back then (well....you gotta figger...us farm kids were easily amused in our unworldly way). Took a while to realize that ..... perhaps..... we were a minority! There were all sorts of shapes for feet. BTW....can you pick things up with your toes? Comes in kinda handy <:smirkface:> I still think that feet shaped like ours are normal...others are not! :P

My city puts on a festival every labor day weekend and this is the first year I noticed poutine... it was more popular than chicken on a stick. The friends I was with that night were absolutely horrified/intrigued by the phenom that is poutine.

Man, do I love the Midwest and our cuisine.

Hi Psummer! welcome to lunacy :wacko:

OMG

you guys have made me want

POUTINE

more than anything :angry::lol:

and I am simply going to DIE without getting it TOO-DAY :angry:

I mean, Geoss is right, what in the WORLD could be better than fries, gravy, and cheese?

:( hurts my heart to think about it :lol: (in an emotional sense, I don't care about the fat glut)

Is poutine gluten-free? :( I really want it.......you guys don't know how badly.

The only time I had "tampered with" fries was at the ballpark, everyone had been drooling over the garlic fries, so we got some at the baseball game one night. Blech!!! Most awful thing I've ever had and I luv garlic

:o

:o

WHOT????

OMG - I could eat good garlic fries (they had these, how you say Firecracker Fries at this restaurant in Monterey I frequented often that were TO DIE FOR - loaded w/ fresh garlic) ALL DAY LONG......and then all day the next day......and after that.......

Got now't done today ..... am trapped ... reading the' Twilight' books by Stephanie Meyer, I am on book #2

Suitcases lay FULL, untouched....... dishwasher exploding!, ...can barely move for unopened mail....but I've committed to this marathon and must see it through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: x 25

this makes me larph.......yes luv, just let the squalor build whilst you pine over Edward wiv your Tiger Pig! ;)

I must eat this POUTINE- with gluten-free gravy. Anything with potatoes, gravy and cheese (and lots of SALT) sounds good to me! Must one be pregnant to eat it 4 times a week? Actually if I ate it 4 times a week I would LOOK pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gads, I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want poutine :( *sniff*

I canna stand it.....it is very shrewdly set up so that you head in, turn many corners through a labyrinth of couches, then halogen lamps, BIKKART mirrors, SLOGENN bunk beds, through potted plants and closet organizers, can't take a shortcut, canna turn around, and all I need is a bloody wooden spoon!

OMG :lol: this is the perfect description if I ever heard one. Only went to Ikea once, after a three-hour drive, then an all-day wholesale gem/bead show......then onto Ikea. We were in there for hours....I got home at midnight........thought I needed to be carried out in a stretcher from that evil store.......was in post-traumatic stress, I think :bilnk: Have never been back -

store is too fab and I is too po'

That reminds me of George Costanza on Seinfield! The one where he breaks up with the woman because she is wearing flip flops and one toe goes over the edge of the flip flop...

aaaaaaaand we have another Seinfeld watcher here, pholks - poifect!! but - why don't I remember that episode? Have seen them all at least five times - I thought?

Wait! This should read, Do chickens have penii?

No, wait! Do civckebs have penii?

:lol:

I didn't even know how eggs came out, and what they really were, until two months ago. A friend in Carmel Valley has civkebs, and I said, what in hell IS the egg, how often do they come out, why are they THERE? :blink:

and she 'splained to me that they are like OUR eggs - unfertilized, that come out every months.

Geoss, do chickens lay eggs only once a month? :huh:

Of course chickens don't have PenII. They are female.

Um, pholks, I have the ugliest feet in the world. :( Constantly rasping, scraping, sandblasting the skin off.......toenails are not long enough, and some are shaped like footballs, or lemons......big toe is too fat and short, I think....want to have toe elongation surgery, do you think they'll do it for me? :huh:

No one has actually ever TOLD me they are ugly, but I despise them :angry:

What is wrong with both the Susan's :( I, too am as you. Have an art desk setup (for 3 years,now). Have paint, brushes, paper that my daughter gave me for my b-day 1 1/2 years ago.

It was the "Coup de toe" episode (I don't know if that was what it is called - but I remember that phrase). Anyway, George is talking about how the second toe outgrows the big toe and becomes captain of the foot. I think it was earlier on in the show's run, if I remember correctly...

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability.

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
