Did you have a good time out?

What does that mean??????? :lol:

...Peter will know... :lol:

From the "Cured" thread . . .

Look everybody!!!! Emily's sober!!!!!

Well, I'm not anymore. Not really. I have had, I believe, 3 and a half glasses of wine. Largish glasses. (Man, saying "largish" is very difficult when sober...imagine when drunk?) :lol:

May have one or two more...MIL is still here. Takes the edge off....

We should have a gathering for all of our local celiac friends, we can all bring a gluten-free meal and it will be our own potluck.

Aw, man...would I ever LOVE to meet up with all you guys for a dinner. :wub: See, this is sentimentality brought on by copious wine. I may even begin to weep, thinking about how great that would be. BLECCHHHH! Must get back to my silly, caustic self...

Carry on, Sober Sillies!

Best emoticon as representative of me a little looped: ^_^

The Fashion Mall at Keystone at the Crossing .... but I have to have my blood taken first .... so we'll (hubby will be there, too) leave after that .... so it will definitely be afternoon sometime. Does that work for you? :)

Happy Anniversary Carla!

Did you have a good time out?

Yes! We always take all the kids with us, LOL. In the beginning it was because we couldn't get babysitters, so we used the excuse that it's the anniversary of the start of our family, which it is if you think about it ... so we continued on with that tradition. We had japanese food ... then we went to Graeter's for ice cream.

Sounds like it was a nice evening out. If you don't mind me asking, what do you usually get at the Japenese place? There is one close to work and I have been asked there.

Well ... ummm ... I haven't needed to eat gluten-free for the past couple months .... seems that as I treated some of the Lyme coinfections, ALL my GI issues melted away! But, when I was gluten-free, I did eat sushi. :)

Works for me . . . Hubby is home so I won't have the kids. If I'm lucky, my Crate & Barrel merchandise gift card will have arrived and I can go spend it. Coffee/Soda in the food court? Or a real restaurant?

Was too askeert to post that on the actual thread. :ph34r: Some people don't like sillies :unsure:

Heheheheehee I had all sorts of responses run through my head but thought same of posting them there. :)

Yay Janet's back! And Amanda's in! And Carla had an anniversary!

Now . . ... . . Where's Sarah?

We haven't been at full-strength in too long, for my taste.

P.S. Aha! And Bev! Haven't we been Bev-less too much lately?

Hi Tom,

Peter, look what I started. :lol:

Gee, thanks, Laura. Now I am the Oracle of Sillyville. So many questions to think about...

:ph34r: well of COURSE there was wine, you silly!!!!!!!! :lol: But.... not enough to make me a stumbling drunkard, for Pete's sake.......

and speaking of Pete, just who IS this Peter in "for Pete's sake?" Is it our Peter? OMG is HE that Peter? Another question for Psawyer!!!!!!!!!!!

:P

Yes, I've been suspecting for some time that our Psawyer is, in, fact, the very Pete in "for Pete's sake"...I think he's our man. He may very well be the Peter in "Peter the Great", as well. And who do you think Elton John wrote Peter's Song for? Indeed, there could be a whole lot more about Peter that we're just beginning to understand. He knows the answer to everything...he somehow created some incredible gravy...What other astounding surprises are coming our way?!

Oh, for Pete's sake!

This one I will try to answer. I am not that Pete. The guy in the above is, as I understand it, a euphemistic reference to God. It refers to the apostle Simon, who took the name Peter at Jesus' request ("thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church" Matt 16:18). Simon Peter became Pope Peter, and then Saint Peter, and is now employed as a doorman somewhere. ;)

Definitely not me. :o

Pass the wine, please. :P

And, isn't Jesus the door? Oh, no, wait, he's the gate .... getting mixed up here ... yeah, pass the wine over here, too ...

Who knows??!! Perhaps if you make sure you wear your tights and patent leather maryjanes. :lol: Will you recognize me? You'll have to go look at my profile to see me. I can always call you on your cell and walk towards the ringing phone.

Now . . . anybody got any recommendations on how to lose 20 pounds in two days? I was wanting to lose some weight before I met any of my fellow sillies. I know I sound slim and athletic . . .

ROFL! I've had the opposite weight problem for the past few years ... finally a friend asked me the other day if I had gained weight!!! I said yes and he said he could see it in my face, how much did I gain? I told him three pounds! He looked at me like I was crazy, but I said it was really only three pounds, but on me, you can see it!

I used to have more current pics up .... but I'm always changing my hair, so you wouldn't recognize me from them either, LOL.

Good Sunday Mornin' to all!

Wowie, Some Sillies are actually meeting in the flesh, not just intellectually! How exciting! Do not worry about any extra weight, Janet. Carla's no young Robert Redford...are you, Carla? ;):lol:

See, told you everyone! Peter DOES know everything! Euphemistic references to apostles, gravy tips extraordinaire...He is the Silly Oracle.

...Although last night in bed I was tossing and turning, wondering about kamikazes and sour cream best-before dates... :rolleyes:

Intellectually???? :blink: Not really the word I would have chosen for this thread.

Neighbors are doing a family New Year's Eve Party - kids are invited - no need to pay an outrageous amount for a babysitter. Of course, we'll probably be back home by 10:30. ;)

I have always wanted to go downtown to Harrisburg for New Years but it is such a hassle getting parking and then getting out after the Strawberry drops ( i think thats what they drop we have a few drops around here and sometimes I get mixed up) One of these years though. Last year it was pouring rain!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I just typed a bunch of stuff, highlighted some text, and LOST IT ALL. BAH!!!!!! :blink:

who cares. I lost all my silly on a phone call I just had. :P (a good but difficult phone call, from best friend, who admonished me to channel my gluten/mental health crusading in a different way - or to tone it down, maybe...........and she is RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! long story......perhaps will address it in anotehr thread)

OMG - some sillies ARE meeting!!!!!!!!!! Susie is jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Year's Eve = amateur night. I never really go out on this night. Will stay home and watch movies with my best friend, most likely. Hang out with mommy late afternoon tomorrow and drink champagne. Asleep by 10, most likely. :huh:

edit: AND THERE IS SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE have you been, long-lost silly??????? we have missed you!!!!!!!!! Um, were you engulfed in fluids???????? :blink:

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you so much for your validation. I completely agree with you that the crackers COULD be the culprit even with very small trace amounts (less than 20ppm) and accumulating over time - I am at the point where I am about to request that my son gets retested to make sure that my "control subject" is still testing perfectly lol. I have a meeting with my celiac disease doc tomorrow and will run the crackers by him to see if he is willing to retest in a few weeks. I have not had any of them for the past 3 weeks so far, so fingers crossed, we can retest and hopefully find out if it is them. And no - I have been scouring EVERYTHING to make sure nothing else has changed. Only use gluten-free lip products and toothpaste so not there either (but very good suggestion). Thank you for validating me. I feel like many are just saying "you are not being gluten-free enough - but I do have a perfect 16 year track record that proves otherwise - so has to be something sneaky.

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      OMG thank you so much for validating me in my "craziness" of being on the hunt for the culprit in my case. "Unfortunately" I do not eat any of the foods you mention, but have stopped eating the crackers that are labeled certified gluten-free to see if they might be the problem. I did NOT know about chicken being injected with gluten liquid - that is horrible!  Hoping my doc will agree to retest after I have been off the crackers for a while. My biggest mystery is - why do I not have ANY symptoms of being cross contaminated or glutened? There is no damage (thank godness) to my villi, and normally I will get canker sores the moment something is even the slightest bit cross contaminated... the hunt continues and I will follow up once I find the answer. Glad you found yours!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      Fascinating, thanks! So Canada (at least in 2017) had changed the criteria for detection in oat products from 20 to 5ppm. If the regulation still stands in 2025 then that would mean that any product sold in Canada that contains oats and is claimed to be gluten-free must (theoretically) test less than 5ppm...

      I recently had same problem and posted on here.  My bloodwork also unexpectedly skyrocketed.  When doc sent online comment saying something like "you need to be eating gluten-free food" I was almost in tears because had been very careful.  Like you, went on a mission.  Narrowed mine down to Yasso yogurt mint chocolate chip bars (formerly had Certified Gluten Free label on package but learned now only on small boxes but not large boxes) or BJ's only mixed nuts without "may be processed on equipment that also processes ....wheat" allergy warning and said in big letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  I went off both and bloodwork drastically improved.  Still don't know if culprit one or both (will add one back in and test again).  Throwing out in case you're eating either of these.  I live in Pittsburgh and during appointment my gastro told me some U. of Pittsburgh students were having same problem.  They finally narrowed it down to liquid injected into chicken they were eating.  (Apparently to make it moist and/or plump.)  Understand how frustratitng it is when you're making all the sacrifices to be careful.
