Went to San Francisco yesterday, boy was it a mob scene. I guess it was fleet week. I went with my mom and brother to meet a cousin I hadn't seen since we were kids. Had a great time.

What are bumble bars? ;)

Hi Julie! I see you posting!

Hello Susan: I see you lurking!!!!

Hi Liz

Hi Robbin

I know, it does seem rather quiet tonight, all day actually.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am watching the game.

Wow, it is quiet!

I'm just getting ready to go for a walk with my daughter. We're taking a flashlight because we keep seeing coyotes in our neighborhood. I think they want our puppy for dinner, so we won't take him. I love crisp, fall evenings. You all must live east of here, since it's just getting to be evening here now.

Hey, MOMMA GOOSE--This trip--are you home yet?? Tell us some good stuff, girlfriend. Was this a second honeymoon type thingy or was it like my last couple of trips with dh--Road Trips From Hell??? :o

Andrea - an off the wall question. Is Lingonberries Market worth a drive from Federal Way?

Hmmm, well that would depend on what you are looking for. They sell all sorts of brands.....namaste, gluten-free bakery, kinnikinnick, amy's, etc. I really don't know all the brands.

They carry frozen kinnikinnick, enjoy life, food for life, amy's, rice dream desserts, ians' (is that the gluten free brand), frozen salmon burgers (forget brand), applegate hotdogs, frozen fruit (I think)....I don't remember everything.

Many flour mixes etc, dessert mixes, vance's darifree, cereal, gluten-free oats, muir glen tomatoes, tinkyada and other pastas, some soups, bars (like lara and bumble etc.), cookies, chips, chocolate, some freeda vitamins, the flavorings for coffee, latte's etc, canned beans, other houshold products (but I forget what they are).

Anyway, with the cost of gas it would depend on what you needed/wanted that you couldn't find up there. He's willing to try and get whatever you want. I asked him to carry 5 lb bags of enjoy life chocolate chips....he just got some in (they won't ship those in the hot weather). I really like the store and the owner is super friendly. Of course, if you come down this way, you could stop off for lunch or something. We are about 1 mile off the freeway....about 1/2 hour north of Lingonberries.

Just got back inside from letting out a few good howls at the moon...... :rolleyes:;)

I better behave for two reasons:

1) I don't have my Altoids - gave them to Mom at the hospital to help her heartburn.

2) I wouldn't want to offend anyone who might faint or swoon at the sight of anything even hinting at racy...

<_<:rolleyes:B)

Guest Robbin

:lol::blink: So confused at which thread to howl on, lol. Ok, now, how about some man jokes on here??

Why do men want to marry virgins?

They can't stand criticism.

A BOSS WALKED INTO THE OFFICE ONE MORNING NOT KNOWING THAT HIS ZIPPER

WAS DOWN AND HIS FLY AREA IS WIDE OPEN

HIS SECRETARY WALKED UP TO HIM AND SAID "BOSS THIS MORNING WHEN YOU

LEFT

YOUR HOUSE, DID YOU CLOSE YOUR GARAGE DOOR?"

THIS WAS NOT A PHRASE THAT HER BOSS UNDERSTOOD, SO HE WENT INTO HIS

OFFICE LOOKING A BIT PUZZLED

WHEN HE WAS ABOUT DONE WITH HIS PAPERWORK HE SUDDENLY NOTICED THAT HIS

ZIPPER WAS NOT ZIPPED UP

HE ZIPPED UP AND REMEMBERING WHAT HIS SECRETARY HAS TOLD HIM, FINALLY

UNDERSTOOD . THEN HE INTENTIONALLY WENT OUT TO ASK FOR A CUP OF COFFEE

FROM HIS SECRETARY.

WHEN HE REACHED HER DESK, HE SAID

"WHEN YOU SAW THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN DID YOU SEE MY Hummer PARKED IN

THERE?"

THE SECRETARY SMILED FOR A MOMENT AND SAID "

"NO, SIR I DIDN'T,, ALL I SAW WAS A MINI COOPER WITH 2 FLAT TIRES"

What is the difference between a new husband and a new dog??

After a year, the dog is still excited to see you.

What makes men chase women they have no intention of marrying?

The same urge that makes dogs chase cars they have no intention of driving.

These jokes certainly have me laughing. Thanks :)

lonewolf, I don't know where you live, but you do know that the coyotes can jump an 8" fence. And if they run in packs, they are not afraid of humans and would take your puppy away from you. So, that is great that you left him at home. But, the packs also will run in the daytime, not just at night. We have a pack running about 3 miles from us and since they move around, I am extra cautious when my toy poodle goes out. We have a 6" wall and it would mean nothing if a coyote smelled her scent. But, they beat the small scorpion I found in the hall two days ago. My dog was sniffing at it. Just what I would need is her to get bit by one. She already gets her yearly rattlesnake shot. I still love the desert :)

Hey Metta/Ostrich/Hamster Face: Okay, a bit confoozed here...... why would it be so hard for a coyote to jump a 6" or 8" fence? Are they coyotes from Lilliput? :huh:

Hi Tavi- Hhow are ya? Did you see the Blue Angels in Sf?

Hi Beverly:

Well, I went to San Francisco to see a cousin I hadn't seen in probably 35 years and while we were fisherman's warf the blue angels were flying. It was really beautiful. I had never seen them fly before and it was just amazing watching all they could do!

I know, it does seem rather quiet tonight, all day actually.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am watching the game.

Hi Julie:

Fleet week I think is where they open up all the ships from WWII and people can walk through them. Should of seen all the sailors, although some of them looked to be about 12!

Ok kind of a nasty joke.

Men say why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?

I say why buy the pig when all you get is a little sausage? :P:P:P

Tag you are it

Guest Robbin

Husband to wife: "What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave you?"

Wife: "Turn sideways and look in the mirror."

What do you call an intelligent, good looking, sensitive man?

A rumor.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: IT FEELS SO GOOD TO LAUGH!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Ok took that one away!

Why is it difficult to find men who are sensitive, caring and good looking? They all already have boyfriends

Guest Robbin

LMAO :lol::lol::lol:

Why do men whistle when they are sitting on the toilet?

It helps them remember which end they need to wipe.

What is the one thing that all men at singles bars have in common? They are all married.

OMG, these are just hilarious. You have me laughing so hard, that my dog is looking at me strangely.

Karen. the coyotes find it easy to jump a fence up to 8' high. And Floridian, Bitsy has not had a snake bite yet, but they have a yearly shot that would prevent her from dying if she got bit and so I spend a fortune for that yearly shot. It would give me time to get her to the vet's. Because of her size, she would not make it otherwise. Rattlesnakes have been found in a couple of the townhomes yards. And she is curious enough to go within striking distance.

BTW, this thread is more funny then the full moon one. I can't believe how you all remember these jokes. Keep them coming. Of course, I am going to bed real soon, but I will read the rest in the morning.

:lol: Why do female black widow spiders kill their males after mating?

To stop the snoring before it starts.

An 8' fence, I can understand, but an 8" fence had me confoozed...... :lol:

How do you get a man to do sit-ups?

Put the remote control between his toes

HA HA HA HA :P:P:P

OMG, I guess it is time I was going to bed. An 8" fence would probably be too high for me to jump right now :lol: .

The joke that really had me rolling in the aisles is Pinnochio. I had to leave my beloved computer and go tell hubby that one. Then he had to tell me to stop laughing as he can't hear the football game.

You wouldn't have a problem with the fence - you have ostrich legs, remember? :D:P:lol:

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. 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/

      Since they make not "gluten-free" claim on their site: https://purito.com/product/new-oat-in-calming-gel-cream/ I'd treat this as though it contains small amounts to gluten, but I just want to mention that skin contact with gluten isn't an issue for the vast majority of celiacs.

      Your frustration is completely valid and speaks to a massive, systemic failure in how chronic autoimmune conditions like celiac disease are managed and tracked. You are absolutely right—it is not right. While reportable diseases typically refer to acute infectious outbreaks that require immediate public health intervention (like measles or foodborne illness), the spirit of your point is crucial: the lack of a centralized registry or formal tracking for celiac means patients are often left to navigate a maze of medical gaslighting and ignorance on their own, exactly as you've experienced for decades. This dismissal has real and devastating consequences on mental and physical health. Channeling your anger into advocacy is a powerful and necessary response. Starting with local representatives, your state's health department, or patient advocacy groups (like Beyond Celiac or the Celiac Disease Foundation) to lobby for better physician education and systemic recognition could be a impactful way to turn your painful experience into a force for change, so others don't have to suffer the same nightmare. You are not alone in this fight.

      I am so sorry you went through such a terrifying and severe reaction; that sounds absolutely awful and it's completely understandable that you ended up in the ER. Unfortunately, pizzerias are indeed one of the highest-risk places for cross-contact, as gluten-containing flour can stay airborne for hours and contaminate surfaces, utensils, and even the gluten-free ingredients. For your recovery, the best course is to continue exactly what you're doing: prioritize rest and hydration with electrolytes like Pedialyte, as your body has been through a massive ordeal. Stick to very simple, easy-to-digest foods like bone broth, plain rice, bananas, or applesauce for the next few days to avoid further upsetting your system. Be patient with yourself, as the weakness and fatigue can linger for a while as the inflammation subsides. It's a brutal reminder of how serious this is, and while it's devastating that one of your rare meals out went so wrong, your caution is completely justified. I hope you feel back to 100% very soon.
