Hi, Ashley! Hmmmm. . .. Picasso. I keep trying to appreciate his reputed genius. More difficult for me than everyone else, it would seem. I do LOVE his early self-portraits... . . . . :):)

Mine are pretty typical, but my dad has ALWAYS sneezed like this: "eee-eee-eee-ee-eee.....cho-oo-oo-oo-oo" :lol:

Mygawd. That is exactly what the Great Canadian Goose's mating call sounds like.

:lol:

Someone I knew sounded like a mouse. Who was that?? Maybe she moved to Ottawa!!

Yes, it may have been her. It was incredible. I was going to mention to her how ludicrous a sneeze it was.... . . . .but refrained. I needed to ponder it further, however, so of course it gets mentioned here. :lol:

I never could understand why some people feel they need to use their vocal chords to sneeze.

Me neither....or when they barph. That is the worst. A loud, bellowing heave.

C'mon....that is simply not needed. The horrid matter will come up just fine without a great voice behind it all....

Come to think of it, that is how I could have addressed this woman today....."So, do you vomit in such an insipid way, as well?" :lol:

Hi everyone!!!

We just had our first snow of the season here in middle TN, it rarely ever snows like this, especially in my county!

my edumatication has been cancelled tommorrow :]

Ashley, good to see you back in the friendly place we call psillyville. :)

Up here, snow is something we grumble about but expect. :angry:

I first saw your new av in another thread. I thought, geez, that is some dandruff--oh wait, could it be snow... And you say it was. :lol:

Enjoy the day off tomorrow, Ash. For us, snow or no snow, work goes on.

Nikerker's got huge-thumbed and -tooled men surrounding her! :lol:

Perhaps one of them will sneeze - - Nik, if it is an insipid li'l kitten sneeze, take note of his thumb size. . .. .actually, more so if it is a huge, window-rattling explosion... .... . ..I'm suspecting there may be a direct correlation.

I DO wanna see Jess sneezing! :lol:

Enjoy the day off tomorrow, Ash. For us, snow or no snow, work goes on.

Yup. the insane Canadian way... . . . . here in Ottawa 'tis bedlam, as we had close to 40 cm of snow the last three days, AND there is a transit strike happening. . . . ...good timing for Will to be away and not trying to battle his way downtown every rush hour. . . . ...

:angry:

Um, sugar addiction. . .. ...I am certain it is a substance that can become physically addictive, absolutely, as I am sure gluten can be, too.. . . . . ..

Such delicious parts of the human diet . . . . ......NO FAIR!!!! :angry:

Finally I can get on!!

My computer is really acting up, can't get the sugar link to work either. What did it say about sugar?? I am so curious!! Should I stop eating it again? I lasted about 4 months or so, then Thanksgiving happened and have been having the sweet stuff ever since :lol: ...but I think I could do it again, it actually wasn't that hard after a few weeks and I found myself not wanting it and craving fruit instead.

Hi Ashley! I saw that about the snow too on the news. Peter is right, for us we could have several feet and they bring in the plows for life to go on as usual. That stunk for us as kids, school was rearely cancelled :lol:

LOLOLOL on the sneezing, but a very fascinating issue indeed! Must ponder it further, oh and I just sneezed not too long ago, but I did not take note of the sound or if my voacal chords were invovled. What I do know is my sneezes seem to be varied, each one has a mind of its own, different in sound, duration, strength, etc. Sometimes they are weak and demur other times very loud and powerful, a big blow out.......a multiple personality sneezing disorder perhaps?

And a big thank you to Jacquie for her reign, what a wonderful Queen she was!!

Thanks for the history lesson Peter, I enjoyed it :)

So why does it keep giving us a flat stomach link???? What are they implying???!!!!???? :angry: ... :lol:

:lol: Janet.....Yeah! What are they trying to say exactly?!?!?!

I am loving the random words being thrown out to trick up the blue google ads :lol:

And heinous on the braces for both Skeeter and Smack :(

Like a charm, Pataughmn :D Just havin' a less than sillie day and would rather just read along than be a wet blankie :P

Oh Patti :( HUGS to you! We must get yer silly back!!

Oh yes- the phun of braces! I just got mine off last May. Just finished the payments.....worth every bit of it but I still think they are so expensive for the tiny things!

I didn't know this Amanda, you have real purty teeth ----> :D

I had braces, twice! OMG, and my teeth have shifted yet again but I can't bring myself to get them for the third time :rolleyes:

Unfortunately I inherited the worst of the sneezes of BOTH sides of my family. My sneezes can rattle walls and I have to TRY and be quite dainty with them. This has led, on rare occasion, to a horrid eyeball blowout and really loud honk-snort in public places. It hurts, too. :ph34r:

:lol: :lol:

Ok this cracked me up because I can so relate! My big blow out sneezes practically crack a rib :lol:

This, no doubt, is where the tools, thumbs and "stuff" come in...... ;):lol:

Ok- what a crazy day

No NYC trip due to the weather/work schedules, but we are going to try to go out and do something tomorrow night. John and I are thinking about maybe getting a christmas tree this evening--it would be a great evening to do that.

I am just so glad it is Friday, we got some stuff to go over at the new house tomorrow.

Hear ye, hear ye!! Big news - - I have delivered Sam Hill Manhead to my single-mom, living-wif-two-young-boys-on-her-own friend. Wrapped him all up with an explanatory card attached, stating that this item is the latest thing on the market for women alone who want to discourage break-ins from raping psychopaths.

OMG..... . . .she opened it, and we larfed...and larfed . . ...and LARFED........

She was in hysterics . . .then ran with him to her front window, where he proudly sits. She will be moving him about in shifts to keep the ruse believable, of course.

Imagine the stories. .. . . .suddenly, that woman in unit 6C has a young man over quite regularly - - he's always staring, staring at her . . .. at he's never wearing a shirt!! :lol::lol:

Oh, and I have visitations rights, and can borrow him at any time, if we need him in Psillyville.

However,....I am dressed to kill....off out tonight for the annual aerobic/gym xmas dinner + drinkies :wacko: ..

Holy crap. . . . ...do you hold an aerobics class, in stilettos, clenching wine glasses, pulling up yer strapless frocks? :lol:

Sounds PHAB!

      @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

      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.
