You couldn't ask for a more compassionate, helpful soul . . . served with a side of funny.

We'll miss you Shroomie.

Condolences to Clayton. Peace to All.

All my love, healing hugs and blessings,

Loey

Back at ya', sistah!!

I find that I don't like the stuff made with bean flours because of the aftertaste. I don't know that I would call it a "freezer" taste though.

Or . .. .

How do you feel about windowless towers?

:lol:

Wishing all you Psills a Great Thanksgiving!!

. . . as many things are schmashed under her highnass.

Quit talkin' about me arse, GeeEff!! I may not be the queen anymore but I can still get schmashed do some schmashin'

Speaking of safety . . ...I just signed off a new req for black-belted security. Dunno wth last administration was up to, but the head of security is saying that w/ some new 'seniority by height' rule, the union won't allow a new addition over 5 feet tall.

Arrrgh how'll I ever find a short blackbelt willing to work for virtually nothing? (At least the work's virtual too)

Anyone got any of those?

I got one at my house . . . he's used to working for nothing. To quote him directly . . . "I'm nothing but a slave to you." . . . and my response . . . "Yes, yes you are." (all said in fun by the way)

My congratulations, King Tom. Unfortunately, what with the holidays and all . . . I was unable to get the robe to the dry cleaners so I just tossed it in the washing machine. It shrunk a tad . . . maybe a little more than a tad . . . How do you feel about a royal poncho?

YEAH! I've never held the sephter after all these years!

Don't mean to be a party pooper . . . don't get too excited, it's not real . . . made of gold plastic.

The intro to the list: (the bolding is mine)

"Celiac disease is associated with approximately 300 symptoms, which are listed in alphabetical order below. These symptoms are not specific to celiac disease, however, and many may be uncommon. This list is intendend to illustrate the variety of subtle and seemingly unrelated symptoms associated with celiac disease and the resulting diagnostic challenge. The list is not intended to be used as the sole basis for diagnosis."

We were all surprised when my daughter was diagnosed, including the pedGI. He screened her for celiac disease because that had become an office policy for kids that presented with "generic" GI symptoms. The GI told me that prior to that, about three kids a year would come through the office with skinny limbs, distended belly and explosive diarrhea and hey, what do you know, this child has celiac disease. This is what he had been taught to recognize as celiac disease. After they started their new screening process, they were diagnosing about a child a week and he continued to be surprised by which kids tested positive . . . they didn't "look" like celiac kids.

That list helps people think outside of the box.

Well, Kweeen Jyaghnutt has it all -- but not for much longer. . ..... . .

Who says I'm givin' it back?

Fergot to say earlier . . . congrats on the new offspring, Jess!!!

HOLY CR@P!!! First Soozle and now Richard!!! . . . like some kind of family holiday or sumptin!!! Good to see you Richard. You look just the same!!

This quote from Shroomie (from a perfectly legit thread) is too good not to be posted in THIS thread:

I refer to them as bunny scat. I once knew a "head of household" who decreed that two sheets of tp was the maximum allowed. I said I bet he shat bunny scat. Never heard of the big D!!

:lol:

I said I bet he shat bunny scat.

:lol:

My first house had avocado appliances. The fridge was a Norge with flowered vinyl contact paper in the bottom (because it was cracked). Lots of shag carpeting throughout. The nice thing was that it had some really nice hardwood floors underneath.

Burnt orange shag is back!!! well they call it my some other term . . .

Tis now called "Frieze" . . . pronounced "frizz-EH"

We laugh about the "fancy shag" here as well.

We call them rabbit pellets in my house.

Yep . . . we had rabbit pellets here as well . . . and no rabbit in sight.

The GI actually put my daughter on Miralax for awhile to get things moving but it sounds like you're making pretty good progress without that kind of "help".

I did a phlipover about the time Venice phlooded..... (kept it quiet because Venice always phloods)

I just wanted to tell you that I noticed . . . also kept quiet so as to not draw fluids attention.

I grew up desensitized to the whole "special dates" kind of thing. I was one of five kids and our birthdays are all during the summer. When Mom was filling out forms for school or the doctor or something, she always had to ask me when my birthday was. If you grow up with your Mom not knowing when your birthday was, you don't really expect anybody else to either.

Happy Birthday, Jess!!

Off swashbuckling wif the pirate?

Glad you're feeling better, Shadow.

I see y'all have been having fun while my family and I were off.... EARNING OUR BLACK BELTS! W00T!

Congrats Vihnnsehnt!! . . . and family!! . . . :applaudingsmiley:

Me too. We need to figure out where this house is, and who has the keys. Does it come with a full frig? Stocked bar? Ho' tub?

:lol:

Hey, maybe it's Em's house.

Like a 2nd tiny set of feet under someone's chin?

That the kind of thing we're talkin 'bout?

Totally caught me by surprise . . . really, really laughing out loud here!!

Was it a butt on your forehead?

Yep, that was our other option . . . I believe it is the one I chose, since I wear bangs fringe.

I remember that pic . . . that was Arizona, right? Sorry to hear about Metta

Yep . . . what they've said above!! I read that article and some of the things that immediately came to mind is . . .

At some point in this series they are going to try and sell me something. Also keep in mind, they are publishing a "series" to make you keep coming back to get more hits on their site. The more hits they get, they more they make in advertising. Plus, reading in the comments section, I saw a reference to testing from Cyrex Labs with a "stay tuned" from the article's author. Yep, they're going to sell us something . . . a product, a test, a guide to health.

The other thing I want to point out is that they use a lot of "scary" quotes/data from legitimate sources. However, to really understand those quotes or data, you need to go and read those publications in their entirety. You need to see the context of that information. It's easy to lift a quote and leave behind the explanation.

I'd probably opt for the Schar shortbread cookies . . . 'bout the right size, too.

I have often thought that this is what The Book should be called.. .. . ....the one that is simply the publication of all 3000+ pages of this thread into a bestseller. I am sorry to hear that the title is taken. We need to think of another one...

The Yeti's Guide to Stream of Consciousness

I'm reading a book called "The Thread".

Funny . . . it's not about us, at all!!

Um..... ... so, that would be, like, 40%. . .. . .... Gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!! Stop, stop!!

Look who's been sandbagging.

Lotta lol . .. ..reciprocation welcomed, in a sense an integral part of an infinite series of posts. (whose sum remains finite, natch)

Hmmm . . . seems we are repeating a fraction of an earlier conversation. <snicker>
