Lord, I have all this to look forward to with Jack.... .:unsure: . ....actually, there will be no car parts strewn about with him. ... . . ..I'll be seeing model pieces, papers on various theses, scribblings on life... . .... .and these things can take up nearly as much space, so I won't be getting off easy, to be sure. BUT -- no epoxy paint smell. 'Tis good. .. . ....

On the outside picnic table 'round here there are no freshly-painted vehicle parts, as my seventeen year-old is a girl. There's a big, portable mirror, hair straightener and blow dryer, eyeliners and hair elastics, nail polish.... . . . . ..guess it was a kind of outdoor salon-type setting yesterday. . . . ....

:rolleyes:

Patti - did your boys do this, too? So many of his friends have no idea how to do anything on their car or change a spark plug on a lawn mower (probably because the Dads or Moms don't either).

Oh yes. The main reason JP moved into his own house at 24 was because he needed more room for "car stupf"....Matt was also at the age where he was getting into it.....add in Mark's car nuttiness....and our 2 car garage/short driveway wasn't cutting it.

All my guys know their way around the inside of autos--Matt actually went to school for it and has a specialized Associate Degree in auto tech and has many additional certifications. He was recruited while still in school to apprentice part time at a major PA dealership until he graduated. He's still there after 5 years :D

He has already restored a 1963 Corvair and his current project is a 1958 Plymouth convertible.

Hub has a Miata he works on and adds to - my parents order special parts for him for Xmas like red hoses. He is thinking about a piece of land 1 hour south of here because it has a large heated & air conditioned garage and is next to a lake. May never see him again. ;)

J went last summer to a friend who is a professional car painter (paints only the expensive specialty cars). He taught him how to paint his truck's bed cover. Said if the college thing doesn't work out, he would take him as an apprentice.

Man, I want a husband/son like this!! How phabulous to have a guy around who can change yer spark plugs/oil, flush yer radiator, replace lights and sensors.. . . ..... .

The guys around here can do garbage, walk dogs and clean kitchens quite passably. Oh, of course, and posit fascinating questions to ponder, inform me about the highest altitude on earth, the age Van Gogh was when he succumbed, whether or not turtles are amphibians or reptiles.... .. . . .these are all good things.

But I'll ALWAYS be takin' my car to the shop. .... . . . .$$$$$.. . ....<_<:rolleyes:

Yo no hablo espanol, pero, en la escuela secundaria he estudiado. Me permito recordar algunas.

abre la puerta

cerra la boca

da me una cerveza

which I think translates into: open the door, close your mouth, get me a beer.

that should get me pretty far.

I'll be going the end of August and plan to do barcelona, the southern towns, and Madrid. I may add some northern stuff, or just save that for later, depending on my mood.

Well, after two very hot and muggy days, today was pleasant. I am writing this sitting out on the deck at almost 10 pm. The sun set just over an hour ago, but the temperature is still around 20C and the humidity is just 33%. No insects either. :)

FlashForward ended last night. :(

Rob announced today that HBO has acquired the rights to "Illegal Alien" for a possible mini-series, of which he would be an executive producer. :)

What does an executive producer do, anyway? Does he produce executives? :huh:

Jess is going to Spain! :)

I think ABC goophed big time by not running all of the episodes at one clip. It's hard for people to get back into something after having it gone for months. It worked for Lost, but only after it had been on for several seasons.

I'm glad he has another TV project in the works :)

If you want, I work with a few Puerto Ricans, and I can ask them for some basic stuff. But Rican isn't really always the same as Spanish.....

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.
