Just made a gluten-free pizza--been craving it all day--it's phinally in the oven.

Made the sauce from scratch, remembered that I phorgot to get the mozzarella dang cheese and had to run to Kroger. Got home and made the dough using the usual 15 million ingredients. While the dough was rising, cleaned up the mixing bowl, beaters, measuring cups/spoons, pan from sauce, front of me shirt where the dough flew off the beaters, the counters, the stove, and put away what was left of 12 million ingredients.

8 minutes to go.....I need wine :lol:

Ahhhhhh....{blushing} :wub: :wub:

Walls and ceiling are done, back breaking wainscoting next <_<

Our house was built in 1914, so we are trying to remodel (one room at a time) with the history of the 100 year old craftsman style in mind. I HATE the tiny white hex-tiles, but hubby loves them so very much, I conceded. Problem is, once I pull up all the plastic over the tiles, I will have to spend the better part of the day tomorrow scrubbing the blackest black grout off of said white tiles. He tried--probably did most of the hard work, but I think I should probably make an appt with my hot chiropractor on Monday :rolleyes:

Love tile,,, Hate grout! Got disgusted with some of mine & dies/ painted it. Great product.

Had SCADS of fun at the club last night, only thing I could drink was rum & seltzer, but it worked!!! I can't BELIEVE I'm not hungover. We got home at 5am!!!

Glad you had fun. I could never stay up that late!

Ooo, ooo!! I has a firefighter story! A week after my 18th birthday, we were in Florida (hate florida) and we got in a bad car accident, got rear-ended by a big truck and slammed into another truck in front of us. So my glasses shattered and sliced my face up and I had whiplash and the seatbelt sliced my poor little left breast. We were sitting outside waiting for the ambulance, and my buddy was trying to clean me up (I was the only one bleeding), and when the ambulance got there, they had me STAND UP AND WALK to the ambulance. Yeah, don't get in a car accident in Florida!! I'm bleeding from the head and they have me walk! So, I passed out about two steps later, and I come to almost immediately, there's a big, muscley, huge firefighter CARRYING me! Of course I couldn't see his face without my (busted) glasses, but the rest of him was quite nice!! I only weighed a 110 lbs at the time, so I suppose it wasn't some grand feat, but it felt like it!! The really amazing part was that I could'nt even feel his feet hitting the ground. It felt like we were floating. I almost swooned again! Don't suppose I looked very appealing, what with the blood and all..... :angry:

An overused but totally fitting comment to this......

I know, right?

Another dancing weekend.....barely recovered from the last one.....dunno what's up with me legs.

Was gonna cost $75 a person, but I have connections B) Was able to help out with the event and get us both in for free!!!

Also got some awesome dance shoes, seein as how mine were falling apart....the right heel collapsed every time I stepped down on it <_<

(Had to pay for those, of course)

Doesn't look like we're dancing today, though. Hubby is in pain from a nasty infection on his stump (I know, serious issue) and I may need to spend the day soaking me legs in a hot tub......wish I had a ho' tub.

Hello Sweet Ladies (and the occasional gent)- So much to comment on!

Yippee! PadT will be around more :D

I turn around to face the mostest drop dead gorgeous Dr. I've ever seen--tall, dark and beyond handsome. He was so happy I'd gotten there so fast and I was so happy to look at him B)

[brooklyn accent] How you doin'?? :P

Oh yah :D How YOU doing?

Patti made a pizza, had some vino and danced around the Maypole !!!!!

Gawd, yes... . . ......like, very insidiously...inside a glass that is beside me, hidden under some ice, completely cross-contaminating the slice of lime.... . . . ya gotta really watch...

I hate it when gluten just shows up like that....the freaking nerve!

Buns had phun and no hangover! Bunnie- you're a mad woman. The last time I saw 5 am it was cause I was waking up (4 hours earlier than I wanted to)!

Actually, my sister and nieces stayed over last night and the 4 year old woke me up at 6:00 this morning (we all slept in my room like a proper pj party). "Aunt Bev, WAKE UP!!!!! Your snoring is scaring me :lol::o:lol:

Oh Lisa- hoping it will heal and go away VERY quickly.

I cannot believe the oil spill in the Gulf. Kurt is in New Orleans right now and he said you can smell it. He's pretty panicked actually because they declared a state of emergency and New Orleans is no stranger to mayhem. :( They say it's the worst spill since Valdez.

On a happier note, me sis and nieces are having another slumber party tonight. Last night was manicure pedicure night (I currently have pink and green nails painted by a 4 year old. Tonight is "makeup" night. Judging by last night's results, I'm pretty sure I'm glad it's NOT being done by Sharpies :lol:

Em- How is your mom doing?

Would love to go down there and clean up some poor li'l birds... . . ...Actually, DH and I were planning on going to New Orleans in early July, but I just dunno now... . . guess we'll have to see.

My mom is doing quite well. Dunno if she is continuing to improve cognitively.. . ......I think so, but it is a slow process. She is almost back to normal, but her short-term memory waxes and wanes... ... . ..she sometimes struggles with a thought or word. She will hopefully be going into rehab next week, and they can really start to work on things. Her vision is now not good, and she is an AVID reader, bridge player, puzzle-doer .. ... .. ....I'm praying thar it will improve enough that she can still do these things, and/or that the pros can do something with her glasses to help her see what is in the big "blank" spots....they can do amazing things these days!

Thanks for askin', guys, and for keeping us in yer thoughts.. . ...!

Gulf oil spill :( X100

Emmel's mom - praying for her eyesight to return :)

It's been a long while since I last felt a Shroomie story coming on, but this one just popped out so I'm gonna bore y'all wif it.

I am reading this book for our bookclub, Mr Allbones Ferrets. It's an historical novel (yeah, I know, a NOVEL about ferrets, but wait!) It's by a New Zealand author because there is a Kiwi connection here. You see, the good folks of the British Isles when they migrated needed to bring their bunny rabbits with them to remind them of home (and give them some sport game to shoot too, I guess) since the only mammals on these isles when they arrived was a bat, and a mangy type of dog the Maori brought with them when they migrated from the great Hawaiki. So of course, with only birds of prey like the harrier hawk (and not many of them because most of our birds didn't have to fly because of no predators, and they lost the ability to fly--well, especially the big, heavy ones, and I don't think the moa ever did fly (at least I hope not, it would blot out the sun :o , it was a flipping dinosaur :lol: ) - back to the story here - there was nothing to eat the bunnies which did what bunnies do everywhere, which is breed and breed and breed. So now the place is crawling with bunnies, (and none of them have cleavage) and they can't shoot them fast enough and everyone is breaking their ankles in bunnie burrows and they have to find a way to get rid of them. FERRETS!!!! Y.e.e.s.s.!!!

So Mr. Allbones is assigned the task of gathering 100 assorted ferrets, weasels and stoats every week by Mr. Prick of the mansion, who owns the woods where Mr. Allbones makes his livin' poaching rabbits and ferrets and the like, to feed his family, using the ferrets to go into the burrows to flush the bunnies who run out into the nets he has set. (Sorry about that, Bunnie) Now the boy ferrets is called hobs, and the female ferrets, I kid you not, is called sluts. So here is Mr. Allbones, poaching his catch on Mr. Prick's land in the dead of night, and keeping his hobs and sluts that he finds, buys, steals or otherwise obtains, in separate barrels of shavings just inside the door. Now how many mens do you know wouldn't mind having a barrel of sluts just inside the door, and all he has to do is feed them occasional mice, and they are there to do his bidding? :lol: So I hasn't finished the book yet and won't bore you all with the rest of the tale, but couldn't resist this part... Sorry... Resume your normal programming.

Gads Bunnie--how scary! Except, of course, fer the cute firefighter.......

Every time a fire alarm goes off at the hospital, the local fire department always sends a truck. Now MY neighborhood firefighters are not much to look at, but I'm telling ya, women come from all over the hospital to see these guys when they arrive. I've never seen such a big group of Yum-Yum's (as my papa used to say) :P If my house was in that neighborhood, I'd be setting sumphin on fire! :D

Was gonna cost $75 a person, but I have connections B) Was able to help out with the event and get us both in for free!!!

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct? You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity...

I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By barb simkin · Posted

      I did nor read the chocolate pkg as it was of fered to me and I ate 2 pcs. I do know that only very dark chocolate and and a very few others are gluten free. Most alcohols contain gluten. I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test. After looking on the internet about my sufferings I insisted on the gene trsting which showed positive for gluten insensitivity and a biopsy on my next colonoscopy that also showed positive which could not help the damage done to my small bowel. So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
