Love the crutch idea.

Cold and snowy and the cats are very angry with me for doing this to them.

Must go plug in my electric kettle and make some tea.

Yes, yes, must chime in....HAAAAPPPPYYYY BIIIIRTHDAYYYY JOOOOOODYYYYY!!!!

Everyone come!!!! I have a big comfy couch divan, a big screen telly, tiger pig's to go all around, snacks and drinks! It would be GRAND!!

Be there in a bit (don't I wish...sigh). I grew up with 7 brothers and sisters and I really miss the group thing, especially this time of year. How wunnderfull twould be to snuggle and giggle under a tiger pig (my son had a ducky blanket) with tea and snacks and psilliness!

I think I'll pass on flashing the biddies to freeze them! Probably would get arrested for not being indecent enough! :lol: Already did the pap thing, our yearly required humiliation. The things that men get to miss! We just are not meant to be pressed into 2 dimensions! If you buy into the theory that causing certain cells to collide in 2 dimensions could cause a black hole.....possibly a gateway into another dimension....well, just think of the consequences. Piles of breasts suddenly appearing in another space-time continuum. What is a "person" in another place supposed to think about that? :unsure:

SamHill Manhead as the Godfather? What is the world coming to? :o

What exactly is an electric (eclectric?) Kettle? Never heard of one. I gave up the kettle on the stove and cheat with the microwave! Wunnerful things..those microwaves!

Peeaterr....love the image of kitty going to the door over and over. Mine used to do the same. You open the door, they look out, look up at you with pathetic confusion. Go to another door, repeat the process. I used to say that my Ivan was waiting for me to open the door to summer. He couldn't understand why I insisted on opening doors to winter...brrrr. I wish I had a door into summer, whenever I wished. I'd be there year 'round :D

Going for a mamogram this afternoon :angry: Hate it, hate it. Then again, I don't know anyone who enjoys it. Think I'll practice slamming myself in the doorway.....or maybe I'll be so frozen I won't feel it. One can only hope. :huh:

I've an idea, Tuhreeesah. You're on the right track with the frozen idea - - you really will not feel anything if yer boobs are frozen...... . .Might I suggest standing outside the medical clinic, just before your appointment, and opening your coat, lifting up your sweater and bra, and letting them be completely exposed for, say, three or four minutes. You will be numb for an hour, perhaps, and will feel no discomfort from the squishing plates.

Yes, this is a grand idea. Must remember to re-jig my yearly appointment so that it falls in January instead of August. . . . . ....

NO!! NO!! NO!! Do not freeze the girls before squishing!!!! . . . Hubby was outside this morning, picked up the hose and it broke in half because it was frozen!!! . . . I would hate for yer breasts to just fall off because they were frozen when they were squished . . . twould probably hurt even more . . . um, when you thawed a bit.

Well. . . . . . I am certain that any man you're gonna talk to would give his first born to be hangin' out in that dimension . . .. ...

You guys don't do electric kettles?! Man....I actually don't own one, but they are a staple in this culture.....just need an outlet, and BANG! Tea!

Oh sillies- having an awphul day here.....me boss yelled at me....actually made me cry...but I did not let her dare see it. She is not going to get that satisifaction! She said awful things like I am draggin her name in the mud and I cannot grasp simple concepts and such....I am shuddering thinking about it.....

Anyway- I am no where near ready for christmas, and not very in the mood for it this year. So much to do with the move and all. Plus money is not something we have an abundance of. We were shopping for the nieces and nephews on Saturday and I am still outraged over the prices of toys! Sheesh!

So anyway still in the deep freeze here..... @ 12:45 it was only 22 degrees!

GUYS!! I'm confuzzled, AND PERPLEXED :blink:

How can you live without an electric kettle???

Tea ABSOLUTELY must be had, AND cures ALL ills ;)

...but not only for tea, boil the kettle for hot choc (add water) or gravy powder, or instant coffee (sacre bleu!! :o )

T'ain't right I say!!!....you MUST need boiling water for summat?? :unsure:

We do have a coffee percolator as well....we are not total philistines :lol:

OMG!! I need to put the oven on.......but where's me sunglasses?? ;)

I may be wrong, but I've a hunch that tea (& boiling water as well) predates electricity. :P

Given that, even *I* used to have an electric kettle, & I'm not even a tea drinker!! (Hence the used to)

Didn't buy it - 'twere a take-home after running the tests at Underwriters Labs.

Dang phorum wouldn't lemme in last night, so . ... . much catching up to do.

Amanda!! I am so sorry to hear about the confrontation with your boss. . . . . ...there is nothing worse. Her behaviour sounds very unprofessional to me - - you are an adult, and no matter what you have done (if anything), you never deserve to be yelled at. Never. BAH! :( Sooooozie's right, however - - this too shall pass!!!

Speaking of Soooooze.....you and Weeze have some caring and nurturing to do over the next few days! The poor thing - - a painful anniversary, and the loss of her job! Jenn is going to be right where she needs to be over Christmas... . ...... :)

MIL's flight was cancelled from Whitehorse to Vancouver due to the blizzard-like conditions out west. BUT.... . .. . that strong, fierce English tenacity came rippling forth, and she got herself on another flight on Air North. So, she's now sitting at the Vancouver airport, waiting for a connecting flight. . . .

She could be tip-toeing in at 2am. Think I will put Sam Hill right in the entrance hall to welcome her.

:rolleyes:

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
