ARCHIVED The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original
Ridgewalker replied to TriticusToxicum's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Oh... mah... gah.... And the moral of the story is-- Susie had the Hummer Limousine of Porta-potties at her disposal and still refused to use it, even at the risk of exploding in her car! She's got more restraint than I, that's for sure. Seriously, that sounds like a MOST hideous event!!! But so entertainingly told! -

Normally I would agree, I assure you! But there is always the chance of a stray painter walking by, and well........... and I CAN'T hold it. I really can't. My brain doesn't even work when I have to pee. And then if I cough, it's all over. (So to speak.) -

OMG! Porta-potties, yyyyuuuuck! Once in awhile I work with my Dad if he's working on a Saturday. He's in construction, does finishing work. (Yep, I am no stranger to drywall mud.) The only working bathrooms on these construction site are Porta-potties... used only by MEN. Ugh. So when I work with him, I take a canister of Clorox wipes with me. As soon... -
I'm not sure about a substitution, but you can probably just leave it out. I have tried several bread recipes that call for unflavored gelatin, including Bette's, and I don't care for the texture it gives. So now I just leave it out, and actually prefer it that way. Hope this helps!

Earballs? THREE litter boxes, and still there is old wee on the floor? That just HAD to have happened when you hit post # 10,000. Speaking of body fluids, I wonder how Janet is doing... Amanda, that's a wonderful development! -

Amanda, let us know. Emily, nope they're not on youtube. They did a LOT of parties, weddings, bars, etc. My uncle did hear one of their singles on a "Whatever Happened to..." radio show a few years ago, which is kind of astonishing. The band was called Prospect Highway. Janet, I THEENK "woodshedding" is when you do some hard-core solitary practicing... -
ARCHIVED Omg...i Might Be On To Something
Ridgewalker replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Amen, sisters! ... then if they DO provide the services you paid for, you must pay again- deductible and copays. It's utterly crooked, evil, and wrong. People are dying everyday because of this, right here in America. -
ARCHIVED Group Snack Ideas?
Ridgewalker replied to slee's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Luke eats Trix almost everyday, and has had no problems so far. He is pretty sensitive, too. I do check the ingredients list each time I buy a new box- as Janet said, sometimes it is gluten-free and sometimes not. At least, that's what I hear- but every box I've picked up has been ok so far. Other suggestions: *Trix yogurt (real yogurt, fun colors and... -

ARCHIVED Is There Such Thing As False Positive?
Ridgewalker replied to ElseB's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't believe there can be a false positive. Technically, there could certainly be a lab mistake, where your sample got mixed up with someone else's. The blood test looks for raised antibody levels- which simply wouldn't be there if you weren't Celiac. Some Celiacs are "asymptomatic." They have no noticeable symptoms, but this does not mean that there... -
ARCHIVED The American Idol Thread...2008
Ridgewalker replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I saw that Paula-stalker guy too. All those goofy rhymes, though- it had to be a joke. I loved Blake last year! I thought his Bon Jovi cover was great. I think Elliot Yamin had a record come out, didn't he? He got a bunch of dental work done, too, looks better. I agree, he does have a great voice. -

Yeah, I got done writing that, and was like, "Hmmm, that's a bit more than he asked for." Yup, alto. I haven't picked it up in a jillion years. I do have a vague idea of what woodshedding is, though! -

Ridgewalker replied to NewGFMom's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thanks for the info! I'm like you- I try to keep our meals relatively light, and then not worry about making a dessert into something low-fat. Sounds like her dessert book might be something I'd like... -
ARCHIVED Behavioral Symptoms
Ridgewalker replied to snomnky's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My older son gets cranky, and touchy. The least little thing will set him off, into a sobbing meltdown. He'll also get very tired/lethargic. No energy. My younger son is a hundred time worse, behaviorally. He can go into full-out rages-- screaming for an hour straight, violent lashing out- hitting, punching, biting. It takes next to nothing to set him... -

Thanks! I still can't believe my baby's 7. Yes, indeed, that is an amp in the background! The male members of my household are quite musical. The big Fender logo is covered up by someone's coat. That one is Brian's (hubby.) Santa brought Lucas a smaller version, nearly identical to Daddy's. Luke also has one of those little kids' Strats. I can't keep... -

YES exactly!!! I just finally sold my double stroller a couple months ago, thinking surely I'll never need that thing again... Then became superstitiously frightened. -

Weight of purses-- precisely! I simply do not understand women who carry itty bitty purses. Actually, one of my friends carries an itty bitty purse, and guess what? Every time we go out, she realizes she doesn't have something in there that she needs. I have it all. There for awhile, both my boys were in diapers at the same time. I didn't carry a purse... -

Purse on the head snuck up on me-- Out loud guffaw! :lol: I often hang mine around my neck. I am totally in agreement that the purse must not touch the floor! A few times, I tried to make one of my kids hold it, but I can't trust them not to let it touch the floor. They act like it weighs a ton or something, I don't get it. Ok, thinking back... -

ARCHIVED The Lyme Disease Thread
Ridgewalker replied to CarlaB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Quickie update... Well, I had about convinced myself that I had nothing to worry about. (My rash was probably pinworm, I'm not horribly ill, etc.) Now I'm on antibiotics for a sinus infection and two symptoms that began over the summer- joint pain and neck stiffness/pain- have gotten significantly worse. It may mean absolutely nothing more than a drop... -

{Green Barfy Guy} Ok, I could handle a sprinkle... I could handle a hair... But the image of the hair stuck in the dried URINE (not "wee" or "tinkle" but "URINE") made me shudder. :lol: When are we gonna get that green guy? Do we need an organized petition? -
ARCHIVED Need To Make A Bed Comfortable
Ridgewalker replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Yes! The last thing I do before I go to bed is (check on the kids and) switch on the dishwasher. Listening to the dishwasher every night is sooo relaxing to me. It kinda sounds like waves. I feel like I'm still getting housework done even though I'm in bed. The white noise helps drown out Brian's snoring. Now, if I have to run an extra load during...
