Tis late but I needed to come share something.....if it was not for John's quick reaction I may not still be able to participate with my wonderful sillies....We were on the way home from the casino tonight when a drunk driver came into our lane and came barrelling at us at a high rate of speed. He had his high-beams on and all you could see were lights coming at you...John swerved out of the way hoping it would be enough that maybe he would just hit the side of the car....we were on a road where there was no room on either side.... well John was able to get enough out fo the way that he missed us completely......

Now I am on my way to bed.....Its almost 2:30 and although it happened 20 minutes ago....I am still a little shakey.

BTW I won 66 bucks at the casino....

Morning, Sillies!

It is POURING here.... :(:angry: However, our gardens need this. I sure as hell don't, and Elsie just stares through the open back door with real trepidation when I open it for the two to go pee. Gawd, what else does this tell me about her compromised past? A real fear of rain.. . .

Perhaps she's just a girly girl - - doesn't want her hair to get wet and go into tight li'l curls.... :lol:

Amanda! Whoa, a real white-knuckler last night! So relieved that you're fine....I'll bet you had trouble getting to sleep - - your heart rate must have been red-lining!

I've been pretty bummed out about yesterday's anniv of my going soy-free & how the miraculous progress didn't stick. :(

I'm so sorry about all this, Ptaoughmnhm. :(

Well.... .. .you still haven't given the cigarettes a good, college try, have you? I cannot help but continue to suspect them as a REAL culprit, here..... ..

At least he knew it would end. :(

This is the part that must be agonizing at times - - (When) will it end? Completely? At least if it is the cigarettes, there's that odd bit of psychological relief.. ..that it is siomething you are consciously doing... .ah, hell, I dunno.. ..just feel so bad for you. :(

Call that hypnotherapist! :)

Dang, some rough evenings for folks.

Tom, did'ya wanna borrow Lefty? He just licked the inside of my ear :blink::o:lol:

Amanda, make this a special trip for you and John. Don't worry about the flights. Just have a darn good time.

I couldn't agree more :D

At least he knew it would end. :(

Sorry 'bout all this Phataughm :( Believe me, sometimes I feel the same way.....

Tis late but I needed to come share something.....if it was not for John's quick reaction I may not still be able to participate with my wonderful sillies....

Thank God you guys are ok.

Perhaps she's just a girly girl - - doesn't want her hair to get wet and go into tight li'l curls.... :lol:

Now THIS, I understand! :lol:

Mornin' Sillies....well, wouldn't ya know it--the new sump pump is acting up (woke up to a noise which turned out to be said pump working despite no water left in the hole) and now we have to stay here and wait for the plumber to come betwix 10 and 2 :angry: We had things to do before it rained....

Anybody else here starting to wonder if Patti is sabotaging her plumbing so that she can get phrequent visits from her young good looking plumber???? (Hope it's still under warranty, Patti!)

Amanda . . . YIKES!!! . . . Thank God you are all right . . . and a hug for John for being on his toes!!

Tom, feel kind of helpless here . . . let us know if there is anything we can do. Hope things improve soon.

We had storms come through last night. The lightening was phenomenal. There was so much lightening that the thunder just turned into "white noise" and we went to bed anyway. Tornado warnings for some pholks close by, but not us. Lisa, did you have tornado warnings??

jealous!! no lightening here.

Also jealous of Patti's plumber with the lovely ballcock!

Pheline is all that comes to mind here. <_<

OK,OK.....I'll just say it........it refers to "p%$#@#"..........that bundle of hormones also panted at me and bounced up and down in his seat when I would walk by....(which sounds innocent until you actually see it)

Patti, that diver story was awesome. Hubby has been busy sending it off to all his friends ( both of us are scuba divers). Sorry to hear about your sump pump.....perhaps it was prematurely anticipating a phluid phenomenon......there's a phunny in there somewhere......hmmmm.......premature what?.....synonym for suck up...antonym for ejaculate........help me out here guys ....my silly sense isn't working up to par..... :P Maybe you're about to get MY phluid phiasco....did you notice my posts tally? :ph34r:

Amanda, so glad you are both OK, albeit a bit shaken up :wacko: I had a similar experience when I was a teen driving to school...had to swerve off the road and was lucky I ended up between two telephone poles and not the other way around :o

Well, today is my DD's 23rd birthday. She has one foot in and one foot out of this gluten free lifestyle. She had symptoms as a little girl but we never figured it out....was told she had a spastic colon.....went into remission and now , of course.....IT'S BAAAACK!!!!!! (reminds me of Independence Day!) I guess I should make her a birthday cake. I've only made one since the "change of life"----gluten free change, that is----and it was dry <_< . I've been off sugar for about a month and doing really well, plus the bonus of losing weight :D .I'm just afraid it will wake up old cravings :unsure: . But I can't afford to buy her anything right now and she mentioned wanting a cake with candy sprinkles in it---(her cake of choice since she was little)

Oh, and my dog Zeus doesn't like to get wet either....doesn't even like to walk in wet grass. When we let him in, he has to sit before we tell him it's OK to come in. He can't even stand to put his tush down on the wet pavement :o.....tries to get away with hovering his bottom just a little above the ground :lol::lol::lol:

Amanda, Thank God you guys are okay. I can understand the shaky nerves after that though. Hope you managed to get some sleep after all that.

So this week, I am so mad at my neighbor I could spit. Since the beginning of spring, he has had a robin's next above the light fixture near the back door to his house. We have enjoyed watching the birds and their activities. Monday or Tuesday this week, we noticed that the babies had hatched and Mom was feeding them. Wednesday as I was mowing the lawn, we noticed TO OUR HORROR that he had taken the nest down. WHO DOES THAT!!! Thursday, I got a call at work from my wife who had discovered one of the babies on our lawn. :( :( Why take it down at all...if you want to, why not do it months ago?

K...phinished venting now...thanks for listening.

I don't think so. I lost dish service so no TV.....didn't hear a tornado siren but it was so noisy around here with all the emergency vehicles going by. That storm was a doozy...sounded like something was going to blow off my house :o . Poor Zeus was about to have a panic attack :ph34r:

Actually, I was referring to the movie....sorry, I wasn't too clear on that. When that alcoholic crop duster---who always claimed to have been abducted by aliens----does the kamakazee thing and flys his airplane into the opening of the mother ship and says, "I'm baaaack!"

      @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.
