Actually, I've referenced Ptaoughmhmn elsewhere two or three times, and used our special Psilly Pspelling. Imagine what others were thinking whilst reading my post.. .. ."Wow - - which member is THIS? Must be from Latvia or Iceland". And then trying to figure out how his name would be pronounced..... :lol::lol:

Hello, Sillies,

Another beautiful afternoon, and I'm out on the deck with three furry friends (Tuppence is inside for some reason).

And where is Sarah? I speak of Silly Sarah--I know where our wayward employee Sarah is. That Sarah is due August 2.

They must be working Amanda hard. She has gone more than 24 hours without posting, although I did see her lurking earlier while I was also lurking. ;)

Nothing else to add for now.

Okay...I've got another query from The Ripper. This one is FASCINATING!

Just imagine:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three candidates. For whom would you vote ?

Candidate A.

Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B.

He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C

He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Which of these candidates would be our choice?

After everyone has chosen, I'll report the last part of this exercise that Jack gave me. He's keeps me thinking, this kid.....

Pat *giggle* don't be scared.........embrace it :lol:

:lol: :lol: saw this post again, and for some reason I read this, whilst looking at Nik's av, and saw piggle.

Not so strange, really, as Lauren calls me Piggle, Pizzle (who knows what this is? raise yer hands! i'm quite sure pOeter knows) and other variations.......Pig Bomb, Piggie, Piglet, etc.

OMG. Em, this is clearly a trick question posed by the Ripper, so, I'll just cast my vote at this time for the whiskey drinking opium user who sleeps til noon. :blink::lol:

I was working myself hard. I am off tomorrow......I took a day to myself to escape the work stress. I wanted to get everything I could cleaned up!!!!!

I'm going with B. At least he's well rested.

jerseyangel Proficient

I pick A.

Don't ask me why....

Why?

Darn210 Enthusiast

I, too, feel this is a trick question . . . we are OBVIOUSLY suppose to pick C. So I will pick C so we know what it means if you pick C . . . out of the other two, I prefer B as it appears he doesn't start drinking until the end of the day.

tom Contributor

Ok Em . .. .I'm not sure I trust vegetarians, but I'll bite & take C, knowing the Ripper will trick me somehow.

Yes, where IS Alex :unsure:

I'm here! I guess it's been awhile since I last posted, eh? Didn't realize I'd been away so long. Some of the non-Sillyville posts have been getting on my nerves lately and I've been rather irritable and easily annoyed of late so I took a leave of absence to spare you all from my pissy attitude. Basically, I could use a good smack on the head ;) .

Okay...I've got another query from The Ripper. This one is FASCINATING!

I pick B, cuz it seems like he's someone who could hold his own in any kind of world leaders disagreement. And at least he drinks in the evening, not while in office.

Ah! Shakespeare used a pizzle in his imagery now and then...definitely in Henry IV, Love's Labour's Lost.... ..

Wonder if they make slings for these things... ..

OHHHHHH . . . I HEAR ya in that one!!! I've got a couple of favoUrite posters that usually annoy me and what do I do? . . . I almost always go read what they say so that I can tell my self "I knew they were going to say that!!!" and be all annoyed again.

jerseyangel Proficient

Guess what? I just averted a potential gluten disaster :o

I was thawing some pork chops in the microwave, planning to top with veggies and some salt-free stewed tomatoes. I was chopping the veggies, and re-read the can....I missed this in the store--natural flavors :o:o

It's a store brand, so I checked on-line and it was not on the gluten free list....called CS, but the poor guy who answered was clueless. He offered to put through "an inquiry", but I was in the middle of making dinner <_<

So....I scrapped the original plan, froze the veggies and am going with baked chops with roasted potatoes.

That was a close one :)

They are also dog treats. We sell them. The treats are also known as bullwrinkles, and as steer sticks. Full size they are almost 30 inches, but are popular when cut into 12- 8- or 5-inch pieces.

Darn210 Enthusiast

Oh, and here is some doggie news . . .

I took Josie for her annual check-up/vaccination and what do they find?????? Her knee cap is popping in and out of place. I hadn't noticed any problems when she runs so for the moment, no action needed. However, if (and I think this is more likely when) she does start having issues, she's going to need surgery. Now does anybody else here feel like this is somehow Emily's fault???!!!??? <_<:lol: Baaahhhh!!!!! It's a good thing she's so cute!!!! (I'm talking about Josie, not Emily). ;):lol:

Nope, I'm not cute. But I got great knees...... <_<:rolleyes:

Poor wittle Josie! keep an eye on her, Janet...I've heard that veterenairy knee/hip surgery that is done before things get bad is considerably less involved (read: cheaper)....

      Hi, I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter..I would say she has had tantrums since even before she was a year old. Challenging but not extreme. Lately, her behavior had gotten extreme. Just so angry, yelling mean hateful things, completely defiant, was causing a lot of disruption in our house, I felt like I had lost the little girl I knew, we were baffled.   Something just didn’t seem right to me, I have been researching and read about how gluten can sometimes affect kids behavior. I took her off gluten a week ago tomorrow. The next couple days after I took her off gluten the days were much easier. About 4 days in she had one of the worst days I’ve seen her have tho. I kept on with it tho and the past two days she has been angelic. Is this common that if it is gluten that she could still have a bad day like that a few days after taking her off of it? Should I try to reintroduce it at some point to see if it’s really a gluten intolerance? I’m not gonna lie, if she continues with the great behavior she’s had the past couple days I will probably be scared to reintroduce it but don’t want her to have to avoid gluten if it’s not necessary. Anyone have advice?

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @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.

      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.
