New av! Cropped from a group photo that WardGirl took this afternoon. The only thing wrong with our get-together was that it was much too short. :(

Em, I found the answer to your technical question, and will send you a PM with the explanation tomorrow. In the meantime, don't lose the place cover. :ph34r:

<sadly shaking head> Moving from Monterey (& of course, mere minutes from Grande South) was purely medical necessity tweren't it? :(

You know, whenever I know that sillies are gathering (ALWAYS seems to be East Coast-ish or Canada <_< )

I have this curious, bittersweet mixture of pure joy with......stabbing jealousy and envy :lol:

Dang .. ..wish I'd been feeling better that day in Feb or March when you were in Willow Glen & I was bowing out.

Forgetting whether you even had time.

How long is the drive to Toronto? and......more importantly..............HOW MUCH WHINING can I Annie take on a long car ride?????????

Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . who's whining?? Suezee or Weezle?

Drat! . .. .Gian-knit beat me to it . .. .

Yet I persist

[Oooo that's like yeti-purse is-t_____ .. . .tuh ... .tuh .. ...taffeta?

Yeti purses twist?]

D'oh . ..what was I gonna say about the whining?

At Tjoe's right now .. ...wtf's w/ THREE distinct new varieties of chocolate cereal!???

Super Weezle cracks me up!!!

And I see Lisa B pooped in!!!!

Indeed, I ABSOLUTELY know dear Suzee that I could nae drag yer away from one of THE most beautiful places on Earth.

Mygawd!!!....unfortunately no sightings of any men in kilts <_< harumph!!!.....which is a shame but mebee for the best (be still my beating heart!)......the accent alone is enough to tranfix you.

The whole place has a mystical/magical feel to it, mother nature at her best, the stunning stone architecture, the history etc etc <stop me if I'm boring you>

We stayed in a wee village called Nairn about 20 miles out Inverness ('Inver'=Rivermouth).....about 10 miles from the site of the Open Original Shared Link

The weather is WEVVAH there!!........ as you drive through the mountains the temperature suddenly drops below freezing dramatically and you in the middle of a snow storm....and then it's gone within minutes.

The sun always manages to shine (but yer need yer polar fleece under yer coat!)

Everywhere is water, pure clean springs, rivers, lochs

Welcome back Nik, and pinch punch right back at ya!!!!

So glad your Scottish jaunt was phab, it sounds sooooo luurvely and like a place I must visit tout suite!! Or at least someday, one can dream! :dreamyface:

Just to remind everyone (and make you all jealous) . . . me family is still planning a trip to Washington State for Spring Break . . . part of the time to be spent in Seattle. Besides Jess, doesn't Colleen (CruelShoes) live out that way, too??

A Seattle Summit! There are a few OMG posters from WA

A great dance last night. We were truly tribal, complete with huge feathered headdresses and nose rings....war paint .. . . . .beads and neck rings. .. . .....

:lol:

:D Can't wait to see a picture!!!

Darn210 Enthusiast

Julie said *BLOWS* . . . :o . . . :lol::lol:

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

Thanks Julie and Janet

Appreciate the thoughts.

We live in such a amazing neighborhood.

All ages and ethic backgrounds.........it's like a little community of only 73 houses.

This couple were married 62 years.......and 10 months... as the hubby said the day we went down.

All the grown children and grandchildren couldn't believe how the neighbors have rallied around them.

It's a very long story surrounding her sudden passing but all the neighbors have been just wonderful.

I'm blessed to live in such a nice place where they really care deeply about each other and are there the second someone needs anything. Rare in this day and age.

I take great strength in seeing this. Still no 'silly' in me but am finding some 'joyfull blessings' so will take that for now.

Amanda, how did the house look once you got there

Thanks for the up date on Jen's mom.

Hi Sillies-

I must call in another favor in the prayer department. I am currently gathering my thoughts and I am rushing home to my parents. My father was rushed to the hospital a little while ago for shortness of breath and chest pains....I got the news and was on my way to see the house. While touring the house- I had such bad panic attacks I almost had an accident..."D".....:( Anyway even though my dad has said not to come I am still going.... I am leaving in a little while- I need my stomach to calm down before I head anywhere....

The house was beautiful possible purchase coming too....:):)

This weekend has been hell!!!! What is happening to all our loved ones? First Jen's mom and now my dad......

Oh sillies tis terrible, I actually walked through my possible new home and I was crying nearly the whole time. Then the sickness came on and it is just overwhelming....

So I am signing off and I will check in when I get achance. Bye everyone!

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
    • trents
      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.
