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:

....and to quote Carla...'' I've heard martinis are like breasts ... one isn't enough and three are too many'' :lol: ..so god only knows what happens after 50!! :ph34r:(hubby does not need to know about your little hallucinogenic episodes))

Here's one for you: Open Original Shared Link

Why, how kind Miss Beverly Good Day to you too :D

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. ;)

<_< ....and so it seems I have no valid excuse for my neurological defecits....HARUMPH!!!!

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!

AGAIN!!! no real excuse....but have never been able to eat shellfish without vomiting profusely about 10 mins after :blink: ...why is that???? :unsure:

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

Whereas I don't like the taste,...but quite enjoy the feeling :lol::lol:

Tee hee! Did I say 50 martinis :blink: ? No, after 1 I'd be under the weather. Right now after 2, I'd be under the floorboards.

LOL :lol: Love that martini quote!!

Your two contrasting positions on alcohol bring me to what could be a telling symptom.

Or maybe the 3rd position is Pseuzee's liking BOTH taste & feeling.

Anyway, maybe I fill the remaining quadrant of this 2x2 matrix. (Or maybe that's total bs now that I think of it)

So, tho I would enjoy both the taste & feeling, every time I test anything alcoholic, I'm somehow suddenly *unable* to get even the slightest buzz!

Has anyone heard of this? I was quite able to feel the effects throughout the 70s. 80s. 90s and the early aughts.

Having zero alcohol for betw 1 & 2 yrs SHOULD'VE made for great ease in feeling the effects. But it's like it's just not digested or metabolized in a normal way.

I'm highly curious whether this means something. It must mean *something*!

I just have to add Rinne's post "You know what they say about martinis, just have one because after two you'll be under the table and after three you'll be under the waiter."

I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling deprived (or is that depraved?) :rolleyes::huh::ph34r::wacko:

Now I feel bad for talking up Firefox. I've been using it since beta (pre-release) and never had nor heard of a problem like that.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

That SO blows! I can't imagine what went wrong and wish I could help solve it and keep u away from bug-filled/security-hole-laden IE.

Cue bad (as in the proper meaning ;) ) joke:

A brain walks into a bar and says, "I'll have a pint of beer please."

The barman looks at him and says "Sorry, I can't serve you."

"Why not?" askes the brain.

"You're already out of your head."

It's a Richard sighting!

WELL OF COURSE!!! ha - ha!!

Hubby more actively accepts this and admits it's true.

Me, too. I love cosmos! There's a drink at a restaurant in Bloomington (Adam and my picture is on their website! LOL --Malibu Grill) ... It's called a Flirtini (of course that's what I'd drink! LOL). It has vodka, cranberry, champagne (which fizzes when they shake it) and pineapple juice. Very tasty.

LOL :lol: Love that martini quote!!

I think it's a matter of having so much brain fog that it makes no difference at all whether you're drunk or sober.

I miss Richard and I love flirtinis.

I've tried firefox but didn't give it much of a chance.

I'm on ebay a lot (or should I say hubby is :rolleyes: ) and I like the ebay tool bar that tells you whether it is legit. I didn't figure that out with firefox.

OMG! :blink:

I leave you ladies (and Tom - really no relation - I'm not the least bit Saxy) to your own devices...and now I may need to quit my job and come back here full-time to keep an eye on you all!

Unlike most of you (Tom might be excepted) I am growing some moobs :blink::unsure:<_< and me knickers a bit on the snug side (around the waist ;) )

FYI - Some trivial info (only a devoted husband would know) the bra in question is made by Open Original Shared Link my wife swears by them (and at me if I stare!) :ph34r: She buys said OtSBH's (Over the Shoulder Boulder Holders) at Kohl's. Glad I could help. I'm all for well fitted unmentionables...Bra fitter at VS...now there's a job :rolleyes: Must...stop...now...

Carry on!

Lucky you. The FTC has put the Open Original Shared Link...until it all gets sorted out Whole foods won't be expanding in the US - but will be expanding overseas. Lucky you! There isn't one in my area, but my local supermarket carries Wild Oats products.

      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?
