I clicked on your link at work and was NOT amused!

HOLY CRA@P!!!! I'm sure that's not what it used to be.

Good heavens--I don't blame you. This post is from 2006, and I can assure you that when he posted, it was a hairstyle gallery.

I apologize for whatever happened here, and will remove the post right now. Since you quoted it, would you please go back and erase the link in your post? Thank you :)

You might need to PM her Patti . . . she might not come back after that.

Good news about your dad, Em.

Glad to hear you're feeling better, Tom. I meant to mention that I liked your new av, too. Are you still on the BugBeGone Humaworm? Or did it just stop making you feel so bad? Or (without quoting) did you want to make a confession about the "cheating" that you alluded to a couple of pages back????? Hmmmmmmm????

Let the buggers (I'm talkin' hair now, people, not Ptaum's pets) turn grEy!!!! I can't be bothered!! Did I tell you guys I only wear mascara and chapstick?

Can you not see him while he's got Li'l Kissey with him, Susie? I'm assuming that you haven't met him yet....will this happen soon? You must be so curious to get to know your love's son--how exciting! Maybe a bit scarey, too?

:unsure: Yes, I am a bit askeert. David has brought up the subject of me, and my pictures are on teh fridge for - well, nearly the whole time we've dated - adn Erik's seen them, but said nothing. Finally, yours truly was brought up (phrasal verb?) and.....Erik wasn't too interested in talking about it, so that was that. Must be handled delicately.....and crap, I"m used to GIRLS, not boys..... :huh:

EMILY! great news about your dad! a whole MONTH in the hospital? holy cow....

TOM - LURVE yer parade!!!!!! :lol:

Let the buggers (I'm talkin' hair now, people, not Ptaum's pets) turn grEy!!!! I can't be bothered!! Did I tell you guys I only wear mascara and chapstick?

:angry:<_< well now THAT just makes me want to HURT you

:lol:

Sarah...if you're going for the patches (re smoking) careful of the 24 hr ones.........they seriously mess up your sleep <_< ...and give you crazy dreams.

I used to take mine off at night (after about 3 days of disturbed sleep :rolleyes: )

NOW ya tell me!!! :lol: I put the first patch on last night, and Ho-lee crap, did I have some crazy dreams last night, one of them involving Patti, Emily, and myself getting a loft apartment together a la Friends. :blink: I'm not kidding, you guys are even in my dreams. :lol: Actually, the dreams didn't bother me, so much as the twitchy-ness. Restless legs, and whole-body twitches too.

I'll try one more night, because I really don't want to wake up wanting a cigarette. <_< But if the twitches continue, I'll have to take it off at night.

But overall it's working GREAT. Haven't had a single cigarette all day, and it's not complete torture. (Just mild torture :P )

PS-- The loft in the dream was sooo awesome, much cooler and more vintagey than the Friends loft.

Oh I AM still playin' passtheparasite :o

Confession? :huh: I thought I'd confessed in mentioning it.

Details I can do! I knew that local WhF had these but never went to the area where they are. Deeeeeeeeee-LISHus brownies from a San Francisco Gluten-free Casein-free <yeti/yeast-free too!> bakery named CRAVE.

<drool> ohhhhhhh so good :):D

1st brownie or cake-type thing I've had in . .. . .wow . .. .this is a toughie . ...maybe 8 yrs? Maybe 10. I really don't remember. Before going everything-free in '05 I was buying gluten-free cookies mostly.

So . . . I had to go back . . . 'tis in my nature . . . apparently, that link was from page TWO!!!!! Now that might be a little hint why no one wants to join us.

I was 100% off sugar & all sweeteners & fruit & even vegetables having a remote touch of sweetness to them, like carrots & red bell peppers.

I still see it as cheating to have anything w/ any sort of sugar or sweetener. (Oops - except the bit of brown rice syrup in my hazelnut milk, which doesn't taste sweet & beLIEVE me I easily notice sweet)

Richard is probably quietly reading and chuckling at how his link morphed into the depths of depravity :unsure:

Still not certain how this happened...someone switched the link address, just to be mean/rude/stoopid?....Was it perhaps the person who posted here from work a couple of pages back, claiming to be "not amused?"..... :huh:

I'll have to see if I can get roomie to lie down in the background of the photo, for thematic continuity

:lol::lol:

Janet!! Another project for you.....we need you to superimpose roomie behind Ptaum's worm in his new av. In fact, he could go everywhere...at the feet of the Kisseys in Big Sur, underneath the bar where my absinthe girl sits, beside Landen, wrapped around Patti's crystal glasses, or around Julie.... :lol::rolleyes:

Let the buggers (I'm talkin' hair now, people, not Ptaum's pets) turn grEy!!!! I can't be bothered!! Did I tell you guys I only wear mascara and chapstick?

Well! Just wait until the gals over in Mineral-freeville hear about you!

one of them involving Patti, Emily, and myself getting a loft apartment together a la Friends. :blink: I'm not kidding, you guys are even in my dreams.

:lol:

Yay! I made it into a dream!

Sarah, please tell me I was Courtenay Cox - - a longtime dream of mine.... :rolleyes:

Oh I AM still playin' passtheparasite :o

But we would have to have cooler apartments.....like the one in your dream!!!!!!!! Egads- imagine Ptaum, Peter and Richard. Let's see- I think Richard would be Chandler, Ptaum would be Joey "How YOU doing?' and Peter would be Ross :rolleyes:

Clearly Susie is Phoebe!!!!!!!!!!!!"Smelly Cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?"

And I meant to say....you GO Sarah- I'm rooting for you on the quitting smoking! :lol:

Well! Just wait until the gals over in Mineral-freeville hear about you!

They already know. When I went looking for Richard, they tried to reel me in, but I was havin' none of that!!! If you put make-up on in the morning, you have to get up earlier -_- (<---Hardly ever get to use that one!)

Bevie Wevie, you poor thing :( Take heart--I've been on BP meds for years now and they all affected me like that in the beginning, but your system should get used to it soon. The "water pill" type was the worst for me--I can't take those at all--I think they really can affect the inner ear.

Have a great time this weekend! :)

How jealous am I of you and Janet getting to meet :angry::lol::lol:

I've toiled this afternoon getting rid of all evidence of the unfortunate linkage snafu. B) Don't quite know how it happened--some sort of odd mixup, I suspect, but it wasn't the unamused poster....she just happened onto it. Probably would have happened sooner or later. ;)

Thanks! Hey that's a good idea... Actually, I hit the snooze button for about 30 minutes anyway, lol ... So if I put the patch on the first time I hit it, then by the time I'm really awake, it'll be working. Perfect!

:lol:

Yay! I made it into a dream!

Omg, I think so too-- I would love it if we could get back to living in tiny villages or compounds... Yeah, that'd be awesome. (Not a primitive village, like without electricity and hot water, though. lol ) Your casting for the guys!!! EXACTLY what I thought when Tom mentioned it! lol

And I meant to say....you GO Sarah- I'm rooting for you on the quitting smoking! :lol:

Thanks! :wub:

Thanks! I think I will. The lack of sleep last night has made me quite exhausted already... yawwwwwn... and it's only about 5:30.

Plus it's all rainy and chilly again. :angry: It was almost 80 the past couple days, then we got this darn cold front... And it's like 45. :wacko: Probably the same thing you and Amanda are getting. Makes me want to hibernate! -_-

EM!!!!!!!! Why must you force me to think these things!!! . .. .. Would it resemble that "Pass the Orange" game, where it's held under one's chin? Will youtubers soon find examples when searching for Fred Astaire doing Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek"?

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.
    • Scott Adams
      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb
    • trents
      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
