Always amazed at how much I miss over the weekend. Here in Seattle it's dark and has been pouring rain since yesterday. My driveway is three inches of standing water. My dirt/gravel driveway....

The weather is very cold and windy here...we went out for lunch and it was cold the whole way there, and we ate at this old hotel and it was not warm inside at all....I am still cold 2 hrs later.

Yesterday I made homemade soup for dinner and that is dinner tonight. I am looking forward to cuddling with my cat underneath a blanket and vegging the rest of the night. :)

That's great :D

Closet gets done today!!!!!!!

Does that mean the funky closet lady comes back again?

I will try to get a few pictures scanned in today and into a new avatar :):):) It is so exciting looking at them, there are things I don't remember from that day already, it was a big blur. It will be nice when the DVD is done so I can really see what it was all like. :)

Congratulations Tom - you wanted to be Lord Tom, right? Earl of Silly? Duke of Mirth?

Here's another Grandpa story:

Grandpa went to a farm show and bought an electric chicken-picker . . . that would be the latest and greatest technology for taking the feathers off of a (dead) chicken. Grandma was majorly PO'd because they didn't have electricity yet - and it was over a year before they did. On a side note, the chicken-picker still works.

Informal Poll: How many here have ever dressed a chicken? (For all you city types, that means take all the feathers off, not dress it in cute designer outfits and put it in a purse to carry with you.)

OMG I'm actually tearing up a bit from the laughter at my misreading it at first as

"How many here have ever dressed AS a chicken? "

:lol: :lol: :lol:

So I'm imagining what a chicken-suit would require and that the elastic used to keep a beak in place could get uncomfortable.

:lol::lol:

Would love to see more pics from the wedding--your current avatar is beautiful! My wedding day was a blur, too. There were so many little things I actually forgot until the pictures came back.

No, no closet lady! The installers (2 guys) are in there now doing their thing. I can't wait to put everything away once and for all--we have clothes all over the bedroom and on the dining room table. Ugh :angry:

All hail the new King!! :D

I've never dressed a chicken (God forbid :lol: ), but my dad tells me that his mother used to. She would actually wring it's neck and then dress it. I'm way too much of a wuss for that :P

I never really knew her, she passed away when I was 4.

Ummmm . . . now that you've gone and done it . . . and can't take it back . . . just wanted to let you know that you are NOT inheriting a crown and sceptor. You are indeed inheriting a chicken costume. Yes, complete with beak. Did you think it was that uncomfortable, Amanda?

Emporer Thomas I! How interesting that we have two kings now. I'm certain that in the history of the world, this has never happened before within a monarchy. Literally anything can, and does, happen here...

Did you guys here the news? MC Hammer is suing the Chicken Butt Cooties. He said their song "Can't Pluck This" is copyright infringement. I think he's grasping at straws . . . just needs the money.

Hey! I'm a long-time subscriber! I cannot believe I've found a fellow GGQ follower! I love the puzzle page, the "find the missing modifiers" and my particular favorite, "unscramble the participial phrases". What fun! And that latest centrefold in the faUll issue!...it was a detailed shot of a split infinitive clearly dominating a subordinate clause...I cannot leave any issues lying around the house, as I've got two kids. :lol::lol:

Ptaum said verilarious... :lol:

Ummmm . . . now that you've gone and done it . . . and can't take it back . . . just wanted to let you know that you are NOT inheriting a crown and sceptor.

<_< So THAT'S why MY contract has a handwritten (bubble-gum pink Crayon naturally) addendum in several languages, each w/ a different translation.

Everything from

"At end of term, and/or in the event that _______'s reign is suspended, all material assets (heretofore referred to as M.A., which consists of, but is not limited to, bank accounts, portfolios, real properties (and their contents), royal doodads and an original zipper-and-all copy of the Stones' Sticky Fingers album."

----to----

"We keep da stuff"

You are indeed inheriting a chicken costume. Yes, complete with beak.

:o igetachickencostumeigetachickencostumeigetachickencostume!!!!!!!!! :D:o :o

We really should spring for a new beak.

Some of the new Finnish ones have TWO or MORE types of foam padding and can practically be custom contoured!

But no need to get the one w/ the satellite radio options cuz I'm just NOT paying for radio!! AM/FM will be fine. :P

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      We have a category of articles on this topic if you really want to dive into it: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
