    If you meet someone who grew up not so far from here -- maybe even 30-40 miles out -- you will hear ALL kinds of southern "hick" sayings!!! Fix'n is a standard. "I'm fix'n to make dinner" "I'm fix'n to whoop your tail" . . . also, if they're fairly southern, you wouldn't wake up "In the morning." You'd wake up "of a mornin'" So, if you put it together...

    Hi law student -- welcome! I think that you are right now where a lot of us have been. I admire that you went back to school because of your wish to make SOME change in the practice of law. I did the same as a non-traditional student because of some of the Physical Therapists I had seen. Please rest assured that eventually you WILL stumble upon doctors...

    I'm gone a day and a half, and SEVEN PAGES I've missed? Holy mackerel. Will have to catch up later. Too tired to look.

    My kids' doctor called it "liquid gold" . . . . . It only smelled "sweet" -- breastmilk is mostly sugar -- it's the only "craving" we're born with. Salt is an acquired craving! Sure know it went everywhere if there was a pucker in the side of the diaper!!!!!!

    I was diagnosed with "gluten ataxia" and gluten intolerance almost two years ago. I have been gluten-free for a year and a half. I was just diagnosed with hyperinsulinemia -- the precursor to Type II diabetes this past Friday. I'm going to see the dietician on -- haha -- Friday, October 13. Talk about a fated day!

    See -- we have culture -- pronounced "culchur"!!!!! Actually, my daughter & son-in-law sing in the Opera there . . . .

    Gluten-fried cheesecake sounds pretty darned good to me, too, and I'm not . . . . Nothing wrong with getting off-track . . . . seems as though every thread we're on gets that way eventually! Karen is right about the wintergreen . . . .

    Oh my . . . . . . . . don't even know how to begin to address the difference!!!!! Words simply can't do the characterization justice. Let's just say, if you LIVE here, you know the difference!! The funny thing is that Louisville is like the 6th largest city in the US . . . go figure. We actually do have cultural events . . . we have an orchestra...

    Certainly didn't let ME know you were going to be in town. Hmmmmmpf

    In the words of my favorite Wizard of Oz character, the Cowardly Lion: "Ain't it the truth . . . . Ain't it the truth." Triticus Toxicum: Know that the reason you want a front row seat when the "Goddess of Altoids" lectures is so that your wife MAY not have clued you in to ALL of the particulars, eh? (Sound Canadian, don't I?? Yeah, right!) ...

    Thanks, Laura!!!! . . . . . And, just so EVERYONE can say it correctly . . . it is Lu(a)vuhl -- in the laziest, most diction-free speaking which you can muster. Actually, if you guys heard the "blackmail" tape my aunt gave my kids of me talking & singing as a child, THEN you would know for sure what a hick accent is!!!!!

    Hey Karen, take a look at post #161 on this thread . . . . . !!!!!!!! Wuv you, Lynne Silly friend, I mark them on my calendar PRIOR to January 1 of the next year!!!!!!! And yet, all it took was learning the "particulars" of Altoids that had his scrambling for his Farmer's Almanac . . . . . . . . . Hasn't looked for one for YEARS...

    Me? Busy? You've got to be kidding. I can't drive, not supposed to WALK, and getting a ride from my family? I sit at home on my BUTT all day.
  14. tiredofdoctors
    BINGO!! I explained the Altoids ummmm Legend . . . yeah, that's it . . . . legend . . . . to my husband, as well. And yes, you're right, it's NOT just the men who think about it -- but you would need to consult our local expert, Karen, with regard to the particulars. . . . . . That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

    I agree completely, Carla. . . . and the men? They're only thought, "If I bring home a new tin tonight, could I possibly talk the Mrs. . . . . . . . . . . . "
  16. tiredofdoctors
    Hey Carla -- where do you live? I would LOVE to meet one Saturday . . . it would be FUN! If we can drive 2 hours and then some because I left the instructions at home to see Jen, 30 minutes would be a piece of cake! Canadian cake, which, evidently is in the mail and is the best you've eaten!! It is true, however, that most of us sound like hicks. Don...

    If they're "lurkers", then they need to get gutsy like us and actually get a user name . . . . . . If we're willing to put it out there, they need to 'fess up that they're reading it!!
  18. tiredofdoctors
    Well, I am tall, but not to get graphic, but all my parts are original "lady parts" THANKS A LOT, CARLA.
  19. tiredofdoctors
    Talk to Karen . . . it's all her fault!!!
  20. tiredofdoctors
    "Dr. Smarty-Smart" . . . . for some reason, that strikes me as hysterically funny! Bev, I am so happy for you . . . now get out of your in-laws place, so I can come up to be a labor coach -- PhD or not! This staying home being a gimp business is for the birds . . . I need a PROJECT!!!

    I thought about that whole issue of paper cuts, myself. . . . especially when Envelopes were mentioned. OUCH. It hurts when you get a paper-cut on your tongue sealing the envelope (although now I don't lick the envelopes because of possible gluten in the glue). A paper cut anywhere else from an envelope, particularly in the "nether-regions" -- well, that...

    Hey -- it's true . . . . I don't know if she did it PERSONALLY -- meaning through personal sales, but if you see a picture of her husband, he looks VERY HAPPY. I do know, however, that through the threads in which she has enlightened many a celiac, a new-found interest in Altoids was certainly begun. For the record: I NEVER participated in, nor condoned...

    Okay, I'm nipping this one in the bud. If you have joined this forum simply to cause trouble and to berate, insult or submit otherwise inflammatory comments, I have two suggestions that you need to take: 1) Keep comments like that to yourself or 2) Leave this forum. Now. We are here to support each other, to have a safe place to vent, bounce around...

    Same thing, always. Krispy Kreme doughnuts. When the "Hot Doughnuts" light is on, and you can get them boxed right off the conveyor belt. If I bought them now, I would probably eat the WHOLE dozen while they were hot. Mmmmmm........ I also miss Black & Tan beer. When we would go to Maryland, we'd have steamed crabs, spend the entire DAY cracking...

    Vincent, Vincent, Vincent . . . . at least it's a good track??? You sound like my husband . . . . . . .
