Wasp #4 has been eliminated. I knew it hadn't left, but i hadn't seen it for two days....

-sigh-

Yes, i'm sure its dead. Dish soap works wonderfully if they land in something that a shoe can't get into, then i put it down the garbage disposal.

Got 4-5 inches of snow here, has melted off the trees but def still on the ground

(and my car). Up until there was already two inches on the ground yesterday

afternoon, the weather people were saying 'little to no accumulation expected'.

Little to no accumulation my ass! I love it when the stupid people who park on the

street get plowed in though, that always amuses me. :D

Who in hell was messin' with me with that crutch tip? . .... . ..I'll never know....ever since that day I've been scouring the neighboUrhood for some poor, lame man struggling along with crutches -- struggling because ONE of the crutches has no gripping, protective tip....... . .

Something dawned on me recently -- could it have been something else? I think I know a crutch tip when I see and handle one..... ..but is there anything else that is kind of like a crutch tip, that would make more sense being in my ho'tub? :huh: Like... .. .. .a rubber hat for somebody with a funny, tiny head?.....a cork for a massive, strangely shaped champagne bottle?...

Yes, and those would make MUCH more sense being at the bottom of my ho'tub.... :rolleyes::lol:

Party at Geoss's :lol: Wouldjoo guys believe, a couple of years ago, I was experimenting with the vile weed to see if it could help me sleep - hoping for a substitution for sleep meds. A friend gave me - not kidding - a HUGE mason jar full :blink: It did not help me FALL asleep, but helped me sleep more deeply....but the thoughts were too CRAY CRAY.....couldn't handle it.....I recently threw it all out :ph34r: was stale and old anyway, don't anyone get too sad over it. B)

Perhaps half a Kong type dog chew toy? One of the kids broke something and distributed the pieces around so no one would notice? Something that fell out of a plane? A meteor from the far distant (and now extinct) Rubber planet? :ph34r: That give me an idea... alien rubber?

Actually, the rubber tip of a crutch very much resembles the rubber feet on

many metal fold-up chairs. Like the inudustrial-y kind? Can't believe we

never though of that before... :ph34r:

OMG. ... . .. ....THIS COULD BE IT....... . ....!! I never thought of it having fallen out of a plane!! That would explain its very arbitrariness, it's unexplainable, sudden appearance in the ho'tub.....it fell out of a plane, the moment the craft was right over my property. Of course. Some poor, lame passenger decided to push one of his crutches through his window...he broke through, but then suddenly realized his folly and tried to pull it back in, catching the rubber tip on the outside of the hole, and plock! Off it popped......dropping through the stratosphere, down, down, into my ho'tub.

Yep.

This tip was way too big for a chair or table leg.....even for a cane, methinks....

And it would be a lot easier to punch a hole in an airplane window with a crutch than with a fold-up chair....

The only things I think of falling from a plane (besides wings of course, which I always used to keep my eye on in my early flying days :ph34r: ) are those blue froz en things that wouldn't last long in a ho' tub though, at least not in their frozen form, and wouldn't look much llike crutch tips when they melted :D:ph34r:

Hey Sports Fans!! . . . . ..hmmm not much enthusiasm ..

Hey fans of 9 yr olds doing uhhhMAZE-zing things! (Ahh there we go)

I'm watching espn now, but the clips were on my local news too.

9yo kid in Utah playing midget football (how unPC), definitely one of the smallest on the field, playing running back & being almost unstoppable, breaking tackles or scooting out of reach of the little boys giving chase. 35 touchdowns!

Her dad must be so proud.

actually laughed out loud. Such a feeling of comfort, to be analyzing the "crutch tip" again, over and over.....seems like it was a COLD

CASE when I was last here....case has been reopened.....but the idea of the folding chair out the plane window certainly does have some

merit and should not be overlooked......

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      By trents · Posted

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Gluten free parakeet food

      By AllyJR · Posted

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      By boy-wonder · Posted

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten intolerant,  I looked it up and had every one of 8 or so symptoms listed. Bloating,  weight gain,  headaches, brain fog,  constipation, etc etc. I took the decision to give going gluten free a try. Within 1 week I had lost 4 lb, now 7 weeks in I've lost 13 lb. I feel much better in general,  the bloating has severely subsided, it used to keep me awake at night as I felt so uncomfortable.  So pretty much a success story, as everyone here knows,  going gluten free isn't always easy, and eating out can be awkward,  but I consider myself lucky that I appear to have an intolerance rather than an allergy or being celiac.  I can deal with most of the gluten free options at the supermarket but, the big one for me is bread, I love bread, and the gluten free options I've tried are pretty poor. I was at a posh black tie event last night and chose all the food options I thought would be gluten free,  however,  there was bread on the table and I couldn't resist it, I had I small piece of bread,  god it was good, I wanted more but I resisted. Today I feel a bit dodgy, my stomach is churning, and I generally feel a bit urgh.  So here's the question, is that really down to 1 small piece of bread or is it coincidence?  I'd be interested in hearing how other people have reacted to a similar situation,  as I was considering having a day off every now and then and enjoying some lovely fresh bread.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet
