    Mike, I'm thinking a bit about this test, and your assertions. The test strips are five for sixty dollars. At that rate, three hundred tests cost you $3,600. You are not connected in any way with the company, you say. It seems to me that that is a heck of a lot of your own money to spend on this. Unless your relationship is not at arm's length, and you...

    Well, pholks, here's a better picture of WardGirl. It is from May of 2005. That's Riley that she is holding, who was then a kitten.

    Amanda, I'm thinking about you and your dad. {{HUGS}}

    New av! Cropped from a group photo that WardGirl took this afternoon. The only thing wrong with our get-together was that it was much too short. Em, I found the answer to your technical question, and will send you a PM with the explanation tomorrow. In the meantime, don't lose the place cover.

    From where you are, it is about 2,660 miles, and would likely take almost 40 hours driving time. The part heading toward Denver is rather scenic, but once you hit the prairies it is phlat.

    Click here to see a picture. In the picture are Will, Sophie, Jack, Emily and Peter. Jacquie took this one, which is why she isn't in it. We'll have to wait for Will's shots to see Jacquie. We had a wonderful lunch.

    Good morning, all! A chilly but clear day will dawn soon here in the Great White North! Must run. So much to do, so little time.

    We are planning on 12:30, but I am waiting to hear about the fairy ferry'schedule, so it is a bit phluid. Transportation logistics turned out to be a challenge, so we are going to meet at Open Original Shared Link on Bayview instead of at the store. A long, leisurely gluten-free lunch is planned. We wish all the sillies could be there, but I think a party...

    "Paper plate" I have been gluten-free for over eight years, and in that time I have never encountered a paper product that contained gluten. Not one. I have also not found any case where the stories about the adhesives holding paper products to the rolls were substantiated. If you have any hard evidence to support your allegation, please provide...

    I'm here, at home, sitting on the living room chesterfield sofa couch using my laptop. I hear that M is Open Original Shared Link in Toronto harboUr, but will be able to catch a ride on a ferry (or was that a fairy) back to shore tomorrow. I don't know where the others are. Well, yes, I do know where WardGirl is...

    No, but I'm not sure that Filadelfia is either.

    For most characters, one byte. That covers the standard alphabet and common punctuation marks.

    Let me try an example. The text to signal the smile takes two characters, a colon followed by a right parenthesis. The word smile takes five characters. The graphic image file smile.gif takes 699 bytes, plus the overhead wrapped around those bytes to say that it is an image named smile.gif. The file wub.gif, which displays as is 1410 bytes.

    And just how can one of the infamous psillies give a serious answer? Okay, I will try. I understand that each emoticon takes up the same memory space as 2 to 9 simple characters; the words to express the same take much more. The bandwidth to send the graphic image takes far, far more than to send a simple character. I would personally support a rule...

    Oh, but I have and at some considerable length, considering the fundamental importance of the idea of keeping ones posts brief through the use of emoticons to convey the frame of mind in which the post is made, rather than using a phenomenal quantity of words to express essentially the same feeling.

    I am rather stoical myself, but I do feel for my fellow emoticon-deprived board members. I can get by with a few per post, but I can understand how difficult it could be when making multiple quotes and the quoted material itself contains emoticons without which the sense would be diminished, and which it would take considerable effort to edit out and...

    Van Helsing and Lucy make an interesting, dark Goth couple, don't they?

    Been there, done that, replied too. Karen, where are you when we need you?

    I would be MUCH more concerned about the oat flour than the flavoring. Even if you tolerate pure oats, the oat flour is almost certain to be contaminated with wheat. So, my vote is that it is NOT gluten-free.

    Mercury is good for you? Who knew?

    While this may be true of some sweet white wines, and perhaps port, most red wine is fermented to the point that there is no residual sugar of any kind left.

    Indeed I did. Welcome to our phun little word, Ash. Just watch out phor the psilly fonetic spelling.

    My parents owned property on Lake Canadaigua during that time. The property was sold two years ago. It was not permanently occupied, and when not in use by Mom or Dad the other family members would use it. Rob spent much time there writing, and the place appears in at least one of his novels. Yup, continue straight and, from North Bay to just west of...
