This is just so stunningly brilliant that Sough-sie is left impressively speechless and doesn't even know how to properly respond. :lol:

But how can you not like DRAUGHT? we sold DRAUGHTING pencils in the store, made me out of my mind as they were pronounced DRAFTING, as all ye scholars of Olde Germanic English (?) do know, I am sure. Why did Susie like it and Tom does not?

oh, too early to ponder such homonymic riddles....... :huh:

susie also would like to point out that she thinks it funny that Carla is selfishly amused by our contined online "flirting" and how plane ride might hinder same. :lol:

and FURTHER, Susie must now make proclamation and edict stating that she must limit her time on this evil, time-sucking vortex of a thing we know as THE COMPUTER. Harrumph! :blink:

Am I reading this right?

Sough-sie confers a positive connotation to being out of one's mind?

thom certainly does not.

But I am bugged by draught cuz there's a perfectly good draft available.

And I don't want to imply that in general any mental dissonance from a mismatch in a word's spelling vs. pronounciation (omg I almost broke up w/ a girl for saying this word pro-nown-see-aye-shun), and in fact can be amused by it.

Now see here Pseu-zee, I think they most CERTainly can count, as long as 1) the language in question uses our alphabet and 2) it's a word that we can reasonably expect each other to recognize.

Omg I remembered something I hadn't thought about for so long.

In ~85, my girlfriend (still don't why I fell out of love w/ her) and I were playing phonetic scrabble.

I got to use "ghoti" for FISH!

Gh - easy

O - as in women

Ti - shun

Could NOT stop laughing while placing it.

Wow - the things that can come back w/ a working brain. It was Chicago and I was in a blues band & she was singing in a fun but non-performing garage/basement band that I'd mess around w/ sometimes. And we both played guitar (just her singing) and toyed w/ a 4track console and recorded some Green on Red songs then accidently played it backwards and it sounded JUST LIKE BOB DYLAN!!!!!! ROFL. :lol:

<actual tears from the laughter>

Of course. I usually just talk to everyone ... guys always take that as flirting. ;)

I agree, sometimes it can be good to go crazy. :rolleyes:

But I am bugged by draught cuz there's a perfectly good draft available.

I always thought draught referred to beer, and draft to the other stuff (pencils, drafting, rough draft, etc.).

I know all about Wahawka .... some friends went there when I was in Mexico ... they apparently wanted the famous mushrooms from that place. I wasn't too into mind altering mushrooms ... who needs them with Lyme brain?

Benicio DID bring the lobster and ghee. We had 50 martinis together. I think I passed out after that. Not sure what hubby thought :ph34r:

FIFTY! Holy Cow! I'd be happy with just two!

And, Nikki, hey, I've been a stay-at-home mom since 1988! It didn't cause brain deterioration for me ... but I did home school for 10 of those years. ;)

Lobster sounds good ... shellfish started bothering me though ... :( ... but I snuck some when we were in Phoenix last month and it didn't bother me at all ... can treating the Lyme be taking care of this? Hope so, because real lobster would be good instead of this imaginary stuff!

Susan, the part I don't like about alcohol is how it alters you mind ... I like the taste .. how weird is that?

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      Thanks for the resource! I will check it out!

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Living with celiac disease can be especially hard when you’re in a smaller town and don’t have many people around who truly understand it, so you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. Ongoing fatigue, joint pain, and headaches are unfortunately common in people with celiac disease, even years after diagnosis, and they aren’t always caused by gluten exposure alone. Many people find that issues like low iron, low vitamin D, thyroid problems, other autoimmune conditions, or lingering inflammation can contribute to that deep exhaustion, so it’s reasonable to push your doctor for more thorough blood work beyond just vitamin B. As for eggs, it’s also not unusual for people with celiac disease to develop additional food intolerances over time; tolerating eggs as an ingredient but not on their own can point to sensitivity to the proteins when they’re concentrated. Some people do better avoiding eggs for a while, then carefully testing them again later. Most importantly, trust your body—if something consistently makes you feel awful, it’s okay to avoid it even if it’s technically “allowed.” Many of us have had to advocate hard for ourselves medically, and connecting with other people with celiac disease, even online, can make a huge difference in feeling supported and less isolated.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Cecile! It is common for those with celiac disease to develop sensitivity/intolerance to non-gluten containing foods. There is a high incidence of this with particularly with regard to dairy products and oats but soy, eggs and corn are also fairy common offenders. Like you eggs give me problems depending on how they are cooked. I don't do well with them when fried or scrambled but they don't give me an issue when included in baked and cooked food dishes or when poached. I have done some research on this strange phenomenon and it seems that when eggs are cooked with water, there is a hydrolysis process that occurs which alters the egg protein such that it does not trigger the sensitivity/intolerance reaction. Same thing happens when eggs are included in baked goods or other cooked dishes since those recipes provide moisture.  So, let me encourage you to try poaching your eggs when you have them for breakfast. You can buy inexpensive egg poacher devices that make this easy in the microwave. For instance:  https://www.amazon.com/Poacher-Microwave-Nonstick-Specialty-Cookware/dp/B0D72VLFJR/ Crack the eggs into the cups of the poacher and then "spritz" some water on top of them after getting your fingers wet under the faucet. About 1/4 teaspoon on each side seems to work. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top and then snap the poacher shut. I find that with a 1000 watt microwave, cooking for about 2 minutes or slightly more is about right. I give them about 130 seconds. Fatigue and joint pain are well-established health problems related to celiac disease.  Are you diligent to eat gluten-free? Have you been checked recently for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Especially iron stores, B12 and D3. Have you had your thyroid enzyme levels checked? Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? If not, you probably should be. Celiac disease is also a nutrient deficiency disease because it reduces the efficiency of nutrient absorption by the small bowel. We routinely recommend celiacs to supplement with a high potency B-complex vitamin, D3, Magnesium glycinate (the "glycinate" is important) and Zinc. Make sure all supplements are gluten-free. Finally, don't rule out other medical problems that may or may be associated with your celiac disease. We celiacs often focus on our celaic disease and assume it is the reason for all other ailments and it may not be. What about chronic fatigue syndrome for instance?
