See, this is why I am not allowed to have expanded cable......I would have watched this ALL DAY.....into the night.........and every day thereafter. :blink: *sigh* The Food Channel.......HGTV....... not allowed.

Ah yes, but not expanded cable...this came as part of my "basic broadcast channel" cheapie only $14 a month cable. :P

That and the Travel Channel, which oddly has some interesting tribal shows :P and lots of shows about, well, travel :lol:

Oh, and Sci-Fi channel which oddly fascinates me. :P

Annie's eaten all the pre-game and the game snacks. She's such a selfish little hostess. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Poor Annie -- I think both just got fatter during mommy's bedridden state. Did not help that I was throwing miniature marshmallows (BLECH! the homemade ones are just so superior!) at her yesterday, for...something to do....... :lol::ph34r:

So . . . if I understand this correctly, your superbowl snacks were a bag of miniature marshmallows?? Not traditional football fare? What do you have for Thanksgiving? Tacos? Chocolate Chips? Crackers?

Where's Bev? Where's Sarah? mygawd, have we lost SArah forever? :huh:

And.......wasn't there someone new who asked to join us - - and then we never saw her again?

:lol: :lol:

I'm not surprised.

Yes, I thought with all the new blood coming in we would have to change how long a queen/king were to remain enthroned. I thought we would be flying through the pages . . . 100 pages would only last a week . . .hmmm, I'll have to go fishing in another thread again.

:lol: :lol:

Yes. exactly that. Chips, crackers, and granola straight out of the bag. And christmas......we really knock ourselves out - chips and salsa, and snickers, all day.

:lol:

Emily! Exciting news about your hubby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phecal Phat is phunny to say. :lol:

Dating..............oh dear gawwd. Horrible topic these days.

Ptaum - - OMG. No, I USED to date men I THOUGHT I liked (most, I did like) as a gluten-brain. I ruined nearly every good relationship - well, two of the three major ones, I did. :( a very sad story and actually, you could write a Danielle Steele trash novel out of it....only - wait - no happy ending yet. :huh:

So when I was young, cute, and fertile and desperate to be married, I made very bad decisions about men in the Monterey years. Now that I'm old and fading (becoming invisible - the TERRIBLE thing that happens to middle-aged women :angry:) I really haven't been enthralled w/ the men I've dated since Robert.......I mean.....it's easy to get caught up in something when someone is desperately chasing you - and hard to discern whether you really like the MAN, or the attention.

I'm getting better though. Last guy, I only went on two dates.....could discern the neediness and clingy-ness IMMEDIATELY and went no further. Desperation and neediness are MASSIVE turnoffs, are they not? The absolute kiss of death.

[oh and plus - - when the last guy tried to kiss me - - a furtive attempt w/ a minnow-like tongue - which I blocked, BTW - he had razor-sharp, cold lips, and reeked of onion............. <green-face here> :huh: BLECH! ]

But it makes me SOOOOOOOO sad......now that I'm clear-headed and have so much more to offer.....the offers are drying up, and I live in an agricultural community - - slim pickin's for interesting, brilliant, yummy OLD ENOUGH men. :angry: And moving isn't an option.

:(

OMG so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink: This issue has been plaguing me lately, though. I mean, the world's supposed to end in 2012, right, according to the Mayan calendar? Geez, I've only got four years now. :lol:

BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Find me one in San Jose, Tom. A plethora there, right?

BACK TO SILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, got my first email entry on DH's phart chart a few minutes ago: 5. FIVE!! Remarkable. A week ago it was what, 65 by noon? I wait with bated breath for the final count at bedtime..... :lol::lol:

Now what are we gonna do around here when we get bored and can't count Emily's husband's pharts? :unsure:

Seriously, I'm thrilled about his response to the diet :D

Oooh-la-La!!

Have I ever mentioned my 3-touchdown Thanksgiving Day game?? :lol::lol:

WOW!! A hattrick? A helmettrick.....(?) :huh:

GAH!! Bite your tongue, foreigner!!!!!!

Pretty much EVERY PLAY, I had to be as 'on the edge of seat' as one can possibly be during full reclination of a big comfy recliner :mellow::wacko:

Sounds like a classic hover!

I dunno...I'm much more excited by the games that end in the last two minutes at 38-36...like in the Grey Cup! ;):P

Actually, as a foreigner, I had quite a vested interest in last night's game. Lawrence Tynes is a Canuck and was Ottawa's kicker for three of four years...till we folded. :(

Em!! FIVE!?????? :o

<tom notices it's exactly 1/13th of a half-fortnight ago>

(phortnight??)

Oh! Update!!

Got the last email about an hour ago:

3:30 pm: 21

A considerable slowdown from last week, where at that point in the day he was at 70, or something. We'll wait to see what the famously active eveningtime will bring.....

well, I can see you're all about as loopy as a herd of weed-eating pigs (was that from the OMG thread?) about the Minnow Tongue analogy. Just WAIT until I tell you about Sharks, Sucker Fish, Darter Fish, Groupers, Bottom Fish, and worst of all, the Tonsillectomy Fish. Yes, friends, these are all different types of kissers. BAD, bad kissers.

Here's an off-topic question (yes, I consider it off-topic since it is a serious question):

To those who are or have ever been dairy free . . . Is goat chees OK or not?

I think it depends on why you're dairy free. If it's casein, then no. If its something else, than maybe, you'll just have to try it.

DingoGirl Enthusiast
. . . and don't forget about the leeches.

Leeches are what we call Sucker Fish. They're ALL fish. All the bad kissers will be described as follows, for your entertainment.

[i made these up in high school. Friends love them. :lol: ]

Shark: Visible teeth marks remain around the outside of the mouth after the session. One feels devoured, and not in a good way.

Sucker Fish: very unpleasant sucking mechanism in play whilst kissing; often accompanied by disquieting noises.

Bottom Fish: This is the very laaaazy kisser, with a fat blob of a tongue that just invades the mouth. Messy, wet, very bad.

Grouper: Similar to Bottom Fish, but even lazier and blobbier, rather invading the mouth like a.....well like a big, wet Grouper fish.

Darter Fish: Sharp, non-malleable, pointed, deeply probing tongue. Very dry and unfriendly kiss. Tongue can either just jab sharply in, or can rotate......either way, quite untenable.

Minnow: Slight, furtive motions with the very timid, wee tongue. Note: this one is the most trainable of the lot.

Stink Fish: Blech. The name says it all. However, one woman's stink could be another's bliss, so quite subjective.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've seen several mentions in the past about the goat & cow caseins being sufficiently different for some to have no reaction to one & be fine w/ the other.

Hmmmm where oh where did I see those?

I haven't tried goat cheese, but after 3 years dairy free, I can tolerate a little sheep's milk cheese.

Bottom Fish: This is the very laaaazy kisser, with a fat blob of a tongue that just invades the mouth. Messy, wet, very bad.

The worst of the bunch, in my opinion. Of course in my case, we're talking ancient history :lol: Some things you just never forget--like trying to wipe off one's face without hurting the fish's feelings :P

I can't do goat... My issue is with the casein and apparently it isn't different enough for me. I LOVE goat cheese...makes me spit nails that I can't have it. :P Like Patti, I can tolerate a tiny bit of sheep milk yogurt (only once per week though).

tom Contributor

I should specify that I only go for the 'fresh' goat cheeses, not aged.

So, it's feta, mozzarella & chevre. :) yum :)

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
    • Wheatwacked
      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
    • knitty kitty
      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?
    • Nicbent35
      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
