Sorry for being a whiny-butt.

Don't worry about us . . . we'll take whiny . . . and come Tuesday of next week, we'll also take whiny and b%$@#y.

Actually, the Ripper is absolutely fascinated with languages, is taking both French and Spanish at school, and in response to all of the frustrating rules and exceptions to said rules, he has been working on the development of a new language.

Can't figure out how this relates to All Things Green.

...but original Greek feta cheese is lush

Mmmm yes!!!! ALL Feta was goat for centuries.

Sarah - I forgot to add my 2cents on caseins. Oops!

I've seen talk of vast differences in the ratios of types of caseins, and that goat casein is a smaller molecule in the first place - apparently different enough that it's no problem for many of us cow CFers.

But of course, when first starting dairy-free, no use in possibly messing it up w/ experiments.

Breaking the psychological habit is the much harder part (the patches take care of the physical withdrawal)

Ever thought about hypnosis to break the habit???

Oh Lord .....listen to me!! .....sound like one of them awful bloomin' patronising docs on the tv

<sorry>

Nahhhhhhhh .. . .. You just sound encouraging!

I'm planning on hypnosis. Also maybe this ear-thing my acupuncturist does. And maybe herbs from her. And maybe Lame Advertisement - old girlfriend Teresa recently quit w/ that.

Ptaum!! You've been looking at Jack's new vocabulary page!

Is that Swahili? Zulu? Dinka?

Heehee

Tagalog (Filipino)

Thai

Bahasa Indonesia

I learned a decent amount of Tagalog & Indonesian in my old life of business trips.

Thai is HARD!!!!

My lil bro had been to Indonesia & told me it was easy & I thought "wth?? How is that possible?" but it kinda is.

On 2nd or 3rd trip I wrote him a postcard from there in Indo w/out needing to look anything up. Not just "weather's fine" either!

It's the candiru fish....sit down for this one:

I've got a new Least FavoUrite Fish of All Time.

BTW, Tom, I meant to reply to you earlier and got distracted...

I think I am going to quit Monday morning. I know I shouldn't put it off like that, but the kids will be back in school, and I'll have the weekend to rest up a little.

Frame of mind is THE most important thing. Your plan sounds good.

Looks like I'm finally meeting forum member Yolo on Sat!!! She'd gotten CC'd and had all sorts of nasty complications but sounds better now.

[Mtndog]

OMG- avatar madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

That link was the first listing. The second listing led me to a little known thread called "Tickle Me Elbow" with a post from Ptaum!!!

Now THAT is scary!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of something. Jack's teacher is putting together a big lesson plan for next month--it will involve the history, geography and science of absinthe. It is a section on the Guinea worm, a fascinating, but stomach-turning, parasite that resides in fetid water in parts of Africa and South America. We'll be creating a couple of big posters and slide shows, detailing how it enters the human body, and regrettably, how it leaves.... So, a warning....soon I may be imparting my new-found wisdom on this gross-me-out-the-door-but-its-kinda-cool subject. Okay, you've been warned.

HOLY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mountain is on fire! There's a freaking brush fire and one of the stations said 75 acres have burned since last night. This smoke, OMG, is not doing good things for me right now.

Oh sarah- keep us posted. That is scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good to know that Armenian is right up there with Klingon in terms of popular obscure languages to know.

:lol:

Yes, I second this. Actually, the Ripper is absolutely fascinated with languages, is taking both French and Spanish at school, and in response to all of the frustrating rules and exceptions to said rules, he has been working on the development of a new language. I will check out what he's got so far....perhaps we can begin to work it into our posts. He's got about five pages of vocabulary done (all the way to the letter "H", I believe), but when I glanced at the words he was creating last month, I was struck by how very much they reflect just the linguistic needs of a 10 year-old. A smattering:

Bum--bummo

Computer--comptutro

Cookie-Cuquo

Dog--canino

Kick--Kica

Punch--Punca

No superfluous words like "house", "food" or "live".......

OMG- too cute. When I took Spanish in high school we used to sit around outside of class and conjugate dirty words like F*^ck (wherein I will substitute hump):

yo humpo nosotros humpamos

tu humpes vosotros humpais

ud uds humpen

el

ella humpa

Nosotros always came out the best :lol: I'm so sure that our Spanish teacher would have been VERY proud!!!!!!!

There was an episode of Grey's Anatomy that featured this. Gross!

OMG- the penis fish is beyond disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!! That sounds well thought out, and deemed for success. Really exciting, Sarah...Good for you. Now..............Tom?.......

EFT is a form of acupressure that I have recommended to so many people for SO many things--very effective for addictions. You can administer it to yourself. I downloaded the free 80 page manual about a year ago.....so the price is right, too:

Sarah and Tom! There is a fascinating thread over in the coping section that was started yesterday titled "Gluten in Cigarettes?" Ravenwoodglass, as per usual, has a couple of very interesting posts therein. Check it out! (duuuuuhhhh...sorry, but I dunno how to get the address/properties of particular threads...)

[psawyer]

Sarah, I see you reading. How are things going with the fire?

In consideration of all this, setting a firm date of Monday makes sense. Monday is the day. Plan for it, and be ready for Monday's change. Plan to do things to keep yourself busy. Plan to avoid things that are associative with a smoke. For me, it was beverages. A coffee and a cigarette. Something stronger (alcoholic) and a smoke. By doing something else in the first few days, I avoided the situation where I would just automatically light up. Monday is the day.

TOO MANY QUOTES AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think they likely glance at mine and immediately think, "Whoa...that's one chubby absinthe-drinkin' slattern....

Who knows WHAT in hell they think when they see yours, Susie....

Well, they quickly learn that we are members of this thread, and that explains everything to them.

Not that it'd make it pain-free for you two.

But since posts can be safeguarded in this way w/ just keyboard commands, David should be able to macro them and give Susie a One Button Post Protector.

Okay....I'll bring this up w/ Kissey.......if we have time to talk about macros n' sh!t

Hey, we should get Scott on this, fer Petersawyer's sake! We pay good money to be on here, an'.....wait....we pay nothing....

This particular mountain is little, relative to other mountains. There are only about 2 dozen houses dotted around on it.... The evacuations are voluntary, but so far no one is leaving.

Sarah, I see you reading. How are things going with the fire?

In consideration of all this, setting a firm date of Monday makes sense. Monday is the day. Plan for it, and be ready for Monday's change. Plan to do things to keep yourself busy.

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking! If I can rest up a little over the weekend, I'll feel up to doing more next week. If I can stay as busy as possible, it'll be better.

The fire is pretty bad. The wind really kicked up this afternoon. It's pretty well out of control and it jumped all the fire lines they spent all morning digging. They had to pull a few crews out of one spot this afternoon, they almost got trapped by the fires.

There is a wide dirt road on the very top of the mountain, where there are some tv and radio towers, the 911 tower, etc. All the towers are in direct danger, but so far that dirt road is keeping the fire from coming down our side of the mountain. If it jumps that road, I'm gonna have some wicked night pictures to show you guys. Speaking of which, if you want to see pics, google "Sauratown Mountain fire" (It'll probably look puny to you Californians )

I kept all the windows closed and the a/c on today (It was almost 80 here today,) and the smoke still isn't too bad at my house. We'll take it one day at a time as far as the smoke goes... I went by my mom's and it's not much better over there. She's several miles on the other side of the mountain, but the wind has been blowing it her way.

[Ridgewalker]

Bah... a sleepless night for me. Dunno if it's the new meds or what. How a person can be so tired, and unable to sleep is beyond me.

I just checked out my back window again... It looks like the fire did jump that dirt road, because I can see flames now instead of just the glow. It looks so eerie at night! And there are several emergency vehicles now on our side of the mountain, but all I can see are the flashing lights. It looks like they're just floating in mid air. Spooky.

I should go back to bed, but it's hard not to want to just sit in front of the window and watch. I am SUCH a terrible looky-loo. I admit it. Half the reason I went by my mom's today was because I wanted to see what the mountain looked like on the other side.

Night-night.

Morning Sillies! Friday Friday Friday

Hopefully I can join in today, I feel isolated from my sillies due to all the moving and chaos in the office. So my friday resolution today is to be on the forum as much as possible, without being caught. lol!

[elye]

Morning, all!

Was thinking about you last night, Sarah. Hoping that there's just a lot of smoldering brush on that mountain, now.

Sarah, I see you reading.

[Apologies to all sillies for hijacking the thread (again) for something serious and important. ]

Hey, do not apologise for this!! It is SO important for one of us Sillies. Sarah, this is the best thing you could be doing...and hey, according to some, commercial cigarettes may have, along with all the other toxins widely known, GLUTEN in them. Yet another excellent reason!!.....

My feet are very tired and a little bit puffy-looking this morning. They feel like crap. So, I have come to the conclusion that my new shoes have, along with the fibreglass, polyfoam and other NASA materials, gluten in them, as well.
