I'm with V'scope on not much embarassing me. I've had to make the dreaded trip to the drugstore more than once. No matter how much other stuff you buy to hide the fact your buying something with wings that doesn't fly, it always seems like the flightless pad "always" (is that where they get the name?) requires a price check :blink:

Good guffaw Richard, nearly blew coffee out my nose on this one....

and as far as INVITING men here....well we'd better send the Geese and dingos (um, reference to our security task force in the OMG thread for those who don't know) to fetch Steve - yes, poor STeve, doesn't know he's been sucked into anoother thread while he's minding his own business...... :lol:

Patti - ancient - I think not!! wow - permanently straightening hair...another thing I"ve done to myself :ph34r::o worked rather well - much better than the coloring experience.....too many other chemicals on hair to do it now - -

Gray's - - my prediction - - Meredith is going to get way too exhausted dating both of these guys - there will be a meltdown at some point - - but HOW can theylet her be wtih McDreamy, they would NEVER give us that satisfaction......they will torture us.....

Hi Kristy - OMG she wears color-coordinated nail polish - - should we let her in - - :lol::lol::o:lol: (totally kidding, of course you can come - you and PixieGirl can be the glamour divas).....

;)

My husband is like Richard and Vincent in regard to not being embarassed to buy certain personal products. Actually, if the cashier is a guy, I get kinda embarassed. :ph34r:

Susan--I decided against any highlighting in light of the straightening. You're right--don't want to damage the mane. :D Not too much, anyway :unsure:

Good God, not THE GEESE! :blink: I guess we should be thankful there aren't any ill-tempered penguins in the area - there AREN't any ill-tempered penguins here....are there? :huh:

Patti... omg... another twin phobia... I hate to go get personal things at the store too... :lol::ph34r:

:ph34r: Isn't that funny! I really think my husband is less embarassed than I am :lol:

Related story--I used my last 2 emergency Immodiums before I went to the salon. (anxiety in full swing) So, I'm in CVS on the way home buying more. All I could think of was--"this guy probably thinks I have D"!! :lol::lol:

hahahaha, Patti, that made me laugh.

One of my personal favorites was buying beer (for hubby), Imodium in large quantities (for me), and um, "protection" (for both of us, so yall figure that one out.) I stood in line with a straight face and was beet red.

I read somewhere that the most shoplifted items are condoms and Preparation H. Now there is a joke in there somewhere...

Patti, I'm the same way. My husband has no qualms whatsoever. So maybe we should just be embarassed with the unmarried cashiers. :unsure::ph34r:

Ok, Celia.....we can be triplets in this instance. Let me in. :lol:

The store I buty "protection" at has everything back by the pharmacy so I pay there. Nice and convenient.

:angry: ROBERT :angry: had a good story - buying tampons for his then 15-y-o daughter, diapers for his 2 year old daughter, and a six pack for himself.....

I have used preparation H under my eyes, as models do, for puffiness...not only did I stink like cod, it burned and did not work.....

I would NEVER buy beer at the same time, I still get carded once in a while, so it might slow my getaway...

You've just shattered my dreams of Cindy Crawford, or should I say "stinky fish-faced" SUPERmodel Cindy Crawford.

FYI supermodels aren't supermodels because they are smart :) I wouldn't take any advice from them :P

They even use duct tape as a "lift" for their assets.

No more Cosmo for you! (or me) ;)

Oh, bad choice of birds, I didn't mean THAT Penguin (notice the capitalization). I meant ill mannered-kiwi's, no that'll tick of the NZlanders...Dodo's- they're extinct, right?

thanks for the good laugh! :)

aaaaaaaaaaaagh excellent :lol: but I'll tell you something, Cindy Crawford is genetically gifted and perfect...I don't think she even GETS puffy eyes and most likely doesn't stink like fish - ever :angry::lol:

She's not ill-tempered though.

Someone should send her a pm inviting her to this thread. Laura could use another ish-ish. Were there any other ish-ish's?

She has her own infomercial now. She is hawking some ageless beauty cream for 4 easy payments of $29.95 you too can turn back the clock... "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" (I know, that was Kelly LeBrock - at least she married Steven Segal before he weighed 300 lbs and lost his mind)

      Hi, I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter..I would say she has had tantrums since even before she was a year old. Challenging but not extreme. Lately, her behavior had gotten extreme. Just so angry, yelling mean hateful things, completely defiant, was causing a lot of disruption in our house, I felt like I had lost the little girl I knew, we were baffled.   Something just didn’t seem right to me, I have been researching and read about how gluten can sometimes affect kids behavior. I took her off gluten a week ago tomorrow. The next couple days after I took her off gluten the days were much easier. About 4 days in she had one of the worst days I’ve seen her have tho. I kept on with it tho and the past two days she has been angelic. Is this common that if it is gluten that she could still have a bad day like that a few days after taking her off of it? Should I try to reintroduce it at some point to see if it’s really a gluten intolerance? I’m not gonna lie, if she continues with the great behavior she’s had the past couple days I will probably be scared to reintroduce it but don’t want her to have to avoid gluten if it’s not necessary. Anyone have advice?

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @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.

      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.
