I pictured our World Vision sponsored child (from Bolivia, eight year-old boy) as little, skinny, olive skin, black longish hair. We finally got a pic of him. Heavy, light hair and skin...looks fairly affluent, actually. :huh: Hmmmmmm...

:o hmmmmmmmmmm indeed! a "heavy" World Vision child? Is he perhaps putting your good money toward expensive Air Jordans? or a new Ipod?

The yeti can go with Mary Kate . . . she just needs to borrow Ashley's hairy coat.

Yes Janet, universal EWWWWWWWWW. Tired of Lance switching and rejecting all of his blondes. and yes, we'll give the hairy coat to Mary Kate - Yeti won't know the difference.

Poor amanda......all of these last-minute additions to the seating chart....the girl will go mad. :huh:

My grandfather. I look like my grandfather...odd that you should know him

:huh:

:o why yes, it's all coming back to me.................... he's been hanging around gated communities in the Fresno area, hasn't he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

the gate/brick wall - - hard to tell - whether to keep its sterile residents enclosed.....or the

truly mad from getting in...............

p'raps a little of both....aside from cOeliac self-mutilating wanderer (shall I invite him in today? I MUST know his story) and barfing neighbors, everyone's the same here..........................drives me MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

If it makes you feel any better . . . our first dog was a lumpy dog. One of the lumps was "funny". They did the needle biopsy and said it was OK. Then a little while later when it still wasn't acting right, they decided they needed to take it out. It was still OK - we just ended up having to pay for both procedures and who's to say that if they had left it in that it wouldn't have turned into something not good at all . . .

Janet - a candy hangover. OMG. I ahve an ersatz blue-coloUred ice cream hangover. ugh. It was really hard to hand out the ice cream, so I just ate it. :huh:

What's the big deal, just drop a scoop into each open bag. :rolleyes:

OK - so now I have a gross story to tell you. We have had a lot of poop conversations at our house. Did you go poop today? Was it all together or a bunch of little pieces? Did it float or sink? Now I get totally unsolicitated information yelled from the bathroom. MoM!! I went poop!!! It's green!! What does that mean???!! And I yell back: It means you ate blue ice cream yesterday!!

Oh....so...that isn't Susie in her avatar?

Speaking of avatars--I'm always so amused at how completely inaccurate my mental picture is of a person when I've never seen them. Richard, you are NOTHING like I pictured you. I've been seeing a big guy (like, linebacker-type), fair hair, regular features, perhaps a beard now that I think of it...I'm always way off. I pictured our World Vision sponsored child (from Bolivia, eight year-old boy) as little, skinny, olive skin, black longish hair. We finally got a pic of him. Heavy, light hair and skin...looks fairly affluent, actually. :huh: Hmmmmmm...

Linebacker! :P

Punter maybe! :lol:

I have those conversations here, too. Only, no one answers back. :lol:

SARAH thinks she's a bad mother because there was a half-liter of chocolate vomit. I say, BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sign of a really good day, the chocolate-y vomit. :rolleyes:

:o why yes, it's all coming back to me.................... he's been hanging around gated communities in the Fresno area, hasn't he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

...er, he's been dead since 1988, so that might confirm the zombie angle. The only way to tell for sure (aside from a cheek swab) is to offer him your car. If he drives on the extreme right of the road at a steady 25 mph it is likely gramps. (I think he still owes some folks a new mailbox)

Hey Richard, how long ago was that picture of you and RG taken? He was looking quite pale there. He must have already started his downhill slide.

I can't recall. He visited almost every day. Like clockwork. i think that particular picture was taken some happy hour at the local pub. The gang and i convinced him to join us for some brews and Emerald nuts. He probably looks pale relative to me and my George Hamilton tan. :rolleyes:

Oh, I remember it all too well. If you ever run into GH in your travels, and he offers to show you his tanning bed - JUST SAY NO! I'll leave it at that.

...and THAT is the newest GMO Butterball (note the abnormally large breasts) :o

my FAVORITE part of the day!

Do you have any brains in the fridge? Zombies LOVE brains :o Hot dogs will do if you don't have any brains on hand.

I think it may be time for you to strike up a conversation with Mr. Shufflufigus. Who knows, perhaps he's some wealthy old man in the early stages of dementia...it's never too late to meet Mr. Right... :huh:

Richard, the Witness Protection PrograMME gives you choices as to where you will relocate...Ottawa has been a wonderful new home for me. Can be cool, however...

Bob and Vince aren't together up there...Bob Goulet is in his OWN special place in Heaven, where the beautiful voices go. Ya know, on gossamer wings, cherubic bugling, all that stuff :)

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes, this is my plan....offering up the plate of what brains I have left to entice, then will charm him with transfixing gab.......

I can see it now...Thriller in Susie's neighborhood...where's Vincent Price when you need him! :P

a confession: :ph34r:

I downloaded "Thriller" onto Ipod yesterday - put it on the "walking" playlist.....excellent walking tempo....it was my paean to Halloween...........

how embarassing.....

Other embarrassing songs on the Ipod:

"Hot in Herre" by - Nelly? (why IS it spelled/pronounced like that? is it his metal teef?)

"wannabe" - Spice Girls

"I want it That Way" - Backstreet Boys (reminds me of my niece, summer when she was 16 and lived with me)

"Rapper's Delight" - The Sugarhill Gang

"Hollaback Girl"

"gettin jiggy with it"

"Bust a Move" - who knows

:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

and that's the entire list of my embarassing songs.

Good gawd, look at the time...........heading out now............

      @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.
