If you remember, I sent this out via email a while back . . . but due to the subject at hand, it's worth repeating (plus not everybody's seen it) . . .

. . . and no, it's not about tortilla soup!!

Sherparding looks like it requires lots of alcohol & some great dogs. I think I shall become a shepherd.

Did I ever tell y'all the my backup plan -in case this science thang doesn't work out- is to move to Wales and be a shepherd?

That's some fancy schmancy shepherding! But aren't those sheep's phaces cute? :D

Is it just a co-inky-dink that the wee pic in Em's signature is of Leonardo Bah Vinci??? :o

Like, I have NEVER been able to become a shepherd.

I wanna be a shepherd too :P

One of Mark's drivers was in the office this afternoon and they all got to talking about Valentines Day and what everybody's plans were. Mark mentioned that since I have some "food allergies" we're limited in where we choose to go.

Anyway, the guys says--"gluten?" Turns out he's been having symptoms and his sister had been diagnosed with Celiac (or so he thought) at some point. Mark called me and asked if I would talk to him, and we had a really nice conversation. Evidently he was never told it's genetic and that he should be tested. I gave him the 411 on it all and also my email address. :)

Convince him to come here, we'll get all the dirt on Mark

Hey! Everybody wants to become a shepherd, now?! :huh:

'Tis fabulous!! We can all become a herding group....a shepherd tag team! But wait... . . . . there's this...... .

Apparently, I need to be ready to break the odd sheep's leg, carry sheep on my back, grow accustomed to smelling like wet wool, constantly be defending my herd from large predators.. . . . ...

How much does this gig pay, anyways?

Kehrrighn, simply take the picture out of any new frame you have just purchased (you know, the pic of the lovely frame model that is in there before you take it out, toss it and put in your own - - usually a lovely blonde woman in a fall jacket, smiling in a three-quarter pose, or a young child looking slightly off-camera), and put that up. I have several of them on my mantle. As a group, they remain much better-looking folks than anybody around here.. .. . . .... :huh::lol:

The speed they travel I knew things must go wrong sometimes :(

Didn't get to see ANY of the opening ceremonies as it wasn't on 'til 1.45am here <_<

.....FINALLY some good news in my life.........got a new job.......fell into it, landed in my lap, though we'd been talking about it for weeks.........working for some lifelong friends........pinching myself as it seems like a dream......we go to dog park every aft (they have three dogs) and, Jane, the gourmet cook, feeds me gluten-free lunch every day......... :unsure:

Sounds as if Jane's been sent to you! ♥

Later peeps...off to me Mum's to have a shower (hot water, WHAT a luxury!) ...and to see my brother I haven't seen in A YEAR (or more! :ph34r: ) ...how does that happen?? :unsure:

I also have a 'Russian birthday party' to attend later

SKIRD :unsure:

All I knows is that there will be vodka :blink:

elye Community Regular

'Mornin', big O'ers! :lol:

I will be curious to hear what everyone else thought of those ceremonies..... ...non-Canucks, specifically. I found only two or three parts of it beautiful, creative and thoughtful... . . ...much of it would mean nothing to those who aren't Canadian (hell, even WE likely weren't understanding all of the symbolism)....and, I dunno.. . .. . ...we seem to always try so hard, but coming after that masterpiece in Beijing, I guess everything would pale in comparison.

And that 21 year-old young Georgian man..... .. :(

Now THIS do warm the cockles of me 'eart lady :D

Now, what in hell? Sooooozle, you must have deleted this post.. . ..... ..or, I'm a'hopin' you did, for there is no sign of it here. I'm therefore SO glad that Gnick quoted it or I would have missed this news entirely. CONGRATULATIONS! Is your job in the park? I'm somewhat bumfoozled. . . ....:unsure:

I don't think the pay is great, but it looks like fun. My dog wants to join, too.

Twas trying to put a pic of my dog & his "aunt" (FIL dog). The pic shows up on my profile & at the top of my page. Might try again later when I've had my coffee.

LIke the Olympic ceremony. Glad they didn't get to crazy. We were at Whistler last spring, so it will be fun to see them going down the same runs I went down.

Mark and I attended a birthday party given by a Russian friend/co-worker of his for his wife back in Philadelphia. It was one of the most lavish affairs I've ever been to. When we arrived, the tables were filled to overflowing with wine, liquor, appetizers, fruits, pastries, etc. Then the courses began--about every 45 minutes or so a different one--meats, duck, lobster, on and on for hours. (I'm not kidding--we kept saying that this should be the last one...lol!) We wanted to leave around 1 AM and were told we couldn't because the cake had not come out yet! We did wait--and the cake was followed by even more fancy pastries.

Then, they sent everyone home with tons of food.....

I have never seen so much food at one party in my life--and the host, so gallant.....kissed me hand when he said hello.

Have a good time, Nik :)

Yeah, I went to a Russian (Easter??) partay once. The food was overwhelming and impressive (and high in fat), but just as well we had so much food, because the wodka kept hopping out of the freezer for "toasts", bottoms up, drink the whole glass :unsure: Seemed like every half hour there was another "toast" to somefing or other, and then sometime much later *I* had to drive everyone home. I am not sure what my particular qualifications were 'cept I got everyone home safely and did NOT get pulled over and breathalyzed which, on this particular occasion, is just as darned well because I had no business being on the road and I was young and foolish and knew no better :rolleyes:

:blink:

:huh:

Everyone needs to take a cab to a Russian partay :rolleyes:

I didn't watch much of it. Put the tube on near the end to see who would be the final torch bearer. Gretzky would not have been my choice, but there you are.

      Thanks, Knitty Kitty!  You seem so knowledgeable.  I have followed your other posts.  Actually, I have been supplementing with all of the B complex vitamins, as well as other recommended vitamins and minerals for over 50 years.  My urine is bright yellow after dosing, so I am pretty sure that I am absorbing enough of these supplements to be therapeutic.   When I was still working as a nurse, we used to give high dose thiamine supplements to alcoholics going through withdrawal.  Alcoholism apparently caused a thiamine deficiency.

      Yes, we've been tracking possible treatments for many years, and here is one of our more recent articles:

      Hi Scott, i m focused on this because Kan-101 it s very good . Who tested it told me about the special results . Also Tak-101 can be the same . Do you know it?

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    
    • Scott Adams
      I'm not in any clinical trials, can I ask why you are so focused on this particular one? There are now several celiac disease potential treatment drugs undergoing clinical trials.
