Who is looking after the Yeti? I found something in my yard today. DNA testing is beyond my means, but I wonder?

I can do it. Send me all the mysterious things you find in your yard.

before you smoke them

Even Van Gogh couldn't sell gluten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

And late last night I woke on the couch to see a comm'l (an advert to you-know-who :P ) for one of those WONderful "art exhibits" at a Radisson over the weekend, where the 'artwork' inspires commentary along the lines of "but I'm afraid it won't go w/ the drapes", and maybe it's only because it's in Berkeley, but they've got a separate suite, just off the Mendocino Room, for the gluten-free paintings!!! :D

<which reminds me>

The Hillel Center up there ran into problems years ago when hosting an exhibit of Religious Paintings. A few New Testament-inspired works had been chosen and the Elders accused the curator of CC.

hehehehe

P.S. That curator sure 'let the yeti lead' on THAT one! :blink:

Excellent, Jess! I can use you also....I need to send you samples of mysterious things that I see growing in my husband's hockey bag...

:o

If I recall correctly, Van Gogh was one of the artists at the time who integrated things into his paintings. Cigarette ash, skin, blood....perhaps bread crumbs?

How is the Yeti, I have not heard from him since my return :)

tom Contributor
You are all absolutely nuts.

Did someone call cashew? Can I still be the cashew?

Who is looking after the Yeti? I found something in my yard today. DNA testing is beyond my means, but I wonder? Should I treat is as something sacred, or just compost it?

If the parade will have a yeti, will we need sweepers after that float. I clean up the parking lot in front of my store regularly, but how big a shovel will I need for yeti droppings?

It looks like the Sillyville vortex has sucked me in.

I think I am here to stay. God help us all (especially me :o ).

Fitting in well Peter! <maybe too well . .. . .

<just like a spy would . .. ... .he's even already disavowed the Kommandant . . . . .

OOPS!! Was that out loud?

I think those I'd just smoke straight off. Who cares what they are? More important what they can do for you... :ph34r:

Helllloooooo Sarah!!! Now we've got a face to put with the name!! Apparently, based on the angle, my son took your photo! ;)

:lol:

Yes, Sarah, nice to see you!

Mornin' all....Reporting for duty!

I've been pacing around, unable to get my breakfast down....the true identity of Scott...Hmmm. This is troublesome, as I think of the past weeks and how my dad has seemed...well, different. Trying to...moderate...edit...control things. Correcting me on a medical point, criticising when I emoticize too much...And what's with his sudden need for me to log in with a password before I go into their apartment?! Could it be....

He's done it yet again??

:lol: :lol: :lol: PLEEEZ ask him to get us MORE EMOTICONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:o I tell ya......he's a tricky one, your dad.......and in the photo.......the caption...... "ready, aim...." Is he going to throw my cupcakes? cause I just ate the last one. :unsure::lol:

Observation:

Joggers/walkers in big cities carry pepper spray to fend off muggers.

Joggers/walkers in the country carry a big stick to beat off the neighbor's crazy inbred dogs.

:lol:

in my case, it's for the occasional wandering eviscerated zombie. :huh:

If I recall correctly, Van Gogh was one of the artists at the time who integrated things into his paintings. Cigarette ash, skin, blood....perhaps bread crumbs?

:o could it have been?????? Everything just got REALLY swirly adn crazy toward the end....

How is the Yeti, I have not heard from him since my return :)

I know, we are working on his manners. :P

MORNING SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicola - - must tell you - - was listnign to Wannabe on the ipod...........and thinking, I must google the lyrics.......something about "spin me all around and then ZIG A ZIG AHHHHHHHHHHHH" (WTH does it mean?) and then cracked up when I saw it in your caption yesterday :lol:

:o Bev's Brain Back!? Run for your LIVES!!

I don't think chickpeas are nuts ... for that matter, neither are peanuts! :lol:

This appears to be at least partly leaning into NWSpice territory. :P:lol:

My brain has not returned .... parts of it have, but the rest is still gone. But I've been on Mino for a couple weeks now, so maybe soon. :)

Soon, yes, soon. :hopefulicon:

Carla? Brain back enough to know the above NW = nitwit, right?

WTH w/ so many nighttime posts??? Every OTHER night I'm reading it all by my lonesome! :(:angry:

<gah! now i see i was part of the conv anyway!>

Why, she's measuring (fake) dinosaur bones, of course.

"(fake) dinosaur bones"??

-or-

(fake dinosaur) bones??

<who faked the dinosaurs!!?>

Oh and .... . . . . .. .cool little paleontologist u have there!

Not too much longer and you'll be in the 501 club. Here's a suggestion to boost your numbers, you wait for Tom to post (preferably on the OMG thread) and then you reply with a "hmmm, that's interesting".

LMAO :lol::lol:

Nice pic SARAH! :)

. . .. Tom's been working on gathering his wits but apparently, he has packed them in several different boxes for his move and failed to label them appropriately!

Ack! No kiddin' right!?

Mom was helping and I'd made some Nitwit joke at an inopportune moment. So, I just unpacked some wits from a 'misc kitchen' box, next to the metal skewers. SOMEhow she heard something about "what you KNIT with", so put some wits in a box w/ what suddenly, to her, looked like knitting needles!! :o

And The Search continues . .. .. .

P.S. Lovin' all the new avatars!!

<oops mine's been same for awhile>

You just want to be sure you get to smoke them!

This appears to be at least partly leaning into NWSpice territory. :P:lol:

No, no, no .... you have NOT found your replacement!!!

So, can we really say legumes are nuts?

Cashew is not a fit for you .... hmm, it's just too easy of a nut .... it's not a pain in the butt at all, they come already cracked and everything, plus they're high in fat .... I'll have to think about it, but I'm leaning towards saying you are a Brazil Nut.

Carla? Brain back enough to know the above NW = nitwit, right?

Yeah, I got it. ;) But since no one else did, I'm wondering if I've gotten too much of my brain back to understand this thread!

tom Contributor
Maybe he is actually participating!! Maybe he has a fake/second member ID so that he can participate in some of the threads!! Maybe Sarah isn't really Sarah . . . hmmm? :o Maybe Emily is Scott - she would have gotten some advice from her dad on how to play a different character - no wait, that's not right. If Emily is Scott, then Emily's dad wouldn't be giving Scott advice!! I'VE GOT IT! Emily isn't Scott! Scott is Emily! Emily is the board administrator!

OMG LOL :lol: this is just how the whole slew/slough bit started - when it was proposed that *I* was Richard - leading to Soughsie, ik-wip-seh, Knickeigh, Pseuzee etc etc etc

TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we need a red-faced devil emoticon.......and - - there was another one we needed - - can't remember........

The red-faced-from-embarrasment one!

Or a green-with-envy one for when ppl go to Naples?

Nope...I've got it. Tom is, through and through, a macadamia nut.

The fruit of this tree is a very hard, woody globose follicle with a pointed apex, obovate or elliptical in shape, with an entire or spiny-serrated margin...

Now THAT'S our Tom!! :lol::lol:

That was actually my second choice!

But, I looked up Brazil Nut to see if I could find something to post and realized you are correct, he's a macadamia. Brazil nuts can only grow in virgin forests that have a certain kind of orchid .... Tom doesn't belong there, so he's a macadamia.

*MY* replacement???? No no no .. .. .that NitWit Spice is over in the WhF freezer section, trying to decide betw soy ice cream flavors, then buying all 3.

Brazil????! :blink:

But I like and often eat cashews!!

And it's a funny-sounding word! :)

Hmmmm Macadamia wouldn't be bad.

Yeah, I got it. ;) But since no one else did, I'm wondering if I've gotten too much of my brain back to understand this thread!

Hehe figured YOU'd get it.

Nope...I've got it. Tom is, through and through, a macadamia nut.

Can't say I agree w/ the reasons .. .. . .can't I say I know WTH THOSE WORDS MEAN!!!!

Can't say I've eaten a macadamia in <3 yrs, so my gut wants to go w/ cashew.

HEY!!!! Is she calling me ELLIPTICALLY shaped?? <gasp>

CarlaB Enthusiast

Tom, a cashew is a normal, run of the mill nut ... it's just not you.

tom Contributor
That was actually my second choice!

But, I looked up Brazil Nut to see if I could find something to post and realized you are correct, he's a macadamia. Brazil nuts can only grow in virgin forests that have a certain kind of orchid .... Tom doesn't belong there, so he's a macadamia.

Do the forests need to stay virginal?

Gah! Orchid reminds me of feeling like a 'hot-house flower', rather than the more extreme Bubble Boy.

<it's Moors, not Moops!>

Darn210 Enthusiast
Oh and .... . . . . .. .cool little paleontologist u have there!

If you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up, her answer is

I want to play the electric piano in a rock-n-roll band. B)

Perhaps she could play in the BSP . . . However, she's not allowed to say "ass", she has to substitute the workd "bottom" . . . Bad-bottom Snow Poodles?

Previous answers have been

a horse rider

an artist

a veternarian

(these three were all at the same time and she decided she would have to live in Paris so that she could do that - huh? :huh: )

Very early on, she said she wanted to be a coffee maker - I wasn't sure if this meant she wanted to work at Starbucks or she just wanted to be a small kitchen appliance.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Tom, I just don't think you've come from that forest ... so are you now wanting to be a Brazil Nut after you already snubbed it?

Darn210 Enthusiast
HEY!!!! Is she calling me ELLIPTICALLY shaped?? <gasp>

No, she's saying your apex is pointed!!

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
