    I'd say they do! I can't say I've ever had an issue getting through but I've never tried to call in December either. Tis the season?
  2. Adalaide
    Yeah. You guys and your logic. And doctors. A hydrogen test will cost real money, cheese and/or milk will cost a few bucks and well... I may want to die for an afternoon but lets face it, a doctor will probably screw up the hydrogen test anyway. My celiac blood tests were negative after being sick for 3 decades and and only reason I know what is wrong with...

    Have you called them? Their customer service is usually outstanding.

    There are so many ingredients in the cheese packets that it would be literally impossible to nail down just one. The reason though that I am suspecting the milk is because to be perfectly honest I have long suspected a mild lactose intolerance as milk has always made me just a little gassy. My response to this has always been an eyeroll and "whatever" because...

    I'm going to preface everything I am about to say by just pointing out that yes, I am in fact a moron and yes, I am aware of this fact. I just wanted to get that out of the way now instead of later. So, my known issues with food are first my celiac which was diagnosed by biopsy about a year ago now. Then in June I had to go tyramine free, which is an amino...

    For the record, my husband has just turned me into a liar. I was just minding my own business killing demons and he's all texting me pictures of Smithfield caramel apple glazed hams. This naturally led to frantic phone number searching just to find out I was about 20 minutes too late for the week to get a human on the phone. After extensive googling I...

    I haven't. My single splurge on prepared foods is my crusts. I took forever to try them but eventually ordered one of the sample packs of the Venice crusts. I am hook, line and sinker and am done ever experimenting with or trying anything else. And, while blowing $100 at a time is a LOT of money the cost per pizza when you buy a gazillion crusts at a time...

    Trustfall chicken. Yeah, its a real thing. So I got turned on to the website cookingcomically.com via a friend's facebook post. I happened to pick up a whole chicken at the store and just used it instead of legs. For the record, dissecting a whole chicken is not my idea of a good time at 7 in the morning.

    I like making turkey rice soup the same way I would make chicken rice soup. I make my own stock after I pick the turkey more or less clean and then can the turkey and stock so I can make soup year round whenever I want. I also love making pizza. (Or used to anyway.) The possibilities are pretty endless, but I used cranberry sauce, turkey, whatever cheese...

    I do own a Wii, which is like the red-headed step child of game systems, I know. But, Kirby's Epic Yarn. Between being Zelda fans and frankly not personally being a fps fan we've just never gotten another system. (We're just too poor to own more than one I guess.) I also love Steam sales, it is really the only time I get new games. The holiday sales and such...

    I'm a WoW addict. WoW being World of Warcraft. It is a great way to keep my mind off of what ails me. When you're busy saving the world from dragons, there is little time for feeling like crap. What can I say? I'm a dork.
  12. Adalaide
    If something made me sick a few times, I'd avoid it. I suppose it is possible it is something else bothering you. I suppose it is also possible that despite all their efforts it is gluten. At the end of the day, we can all only make these choices for ourselves. I personally go with the policy of if it makes me feel bad, I don't eat it, regardless of the reason...

    When I checked their site I was like zomg... crescent rolls. Not that I would buy a lot of them but the occasional treat would be nice. Next thing I knew I was emailing them. To my surprise I had an email back when I got up from my nap! I don't remember exactly what I asked word for word, but it was in essence about separate facilities, lines, batch testing...

    Elephants are okay. Lots of people I know love them. I wish I lived close enough to the zoo for it to be worth it to get a pass. It is especially cool how elephants are very human emotionally. I'd be happy with one as a lunch buddy. :lol: That is too funny!
  15. Adalaide
    Pretty much. I say purple but it's up for debate. I'm a fan of bunnies (not in the way I am a fan of giraffes or anything) but I stick with one lest she multiply. Of course, mine requires maintenance like feeding so it's a real possibility! If I can't have a pet giraffe, a bunny is the next best thing. I totally forgot about this, but my...

    With my family back home I'm happy if I even get a card. My husband is good at remembering those random things I mentioned forever ago or have been eyeing a long time. (I know I'm sticking my foot in my mouth here so to speak... but here goes anyway.) I'm pretty easy to please.
  17. Adalaide
    I'd keep him too! I have to say I'm spoiled myself. I have something like 4 dozen stuffed giraffes at this point and they just keep coming. Usually for no apparent reason. I even have one I use to prop my arm up when my shoulder is bothering me and he doesn't complain about giraffes in the bed. We're some lucky girls having such men to spoil us. Books...

    That is super exciting! I'm so happy for you. That doesn't even come close to a little win, that falls into the major freaking victory category. That sounds like an awesome tradition to have back. I've also heard super amazing things about how gluten free friendly NYC is, I'm sure you're going to be having the time of your life.
  19. Adalaide
    I love that moment when you have gone from one of "the cousins" to a grown up! I had one of those too, and was childishly excited. Kinda contradicts the whole thing doesn't it?
  20. Adalaide
    You girls. I swear..... I was OBVIOUSLY talking about gifts. Note to self: Remember your audience and always triple check what you typed before hitting enter. I guess no one else has super awesome plans? I already know this will be the best day ever. I am so with you there! I've had people be like, you can't think of anything, anything at all in...
  21. Adalaide
    That is so awesome!! I have a similarly cool compliment I got. I grew up in my grammy's kitchen. (More or less. It's where all my best memories are.) Every Saturday morning we would bake together all morning then feed lunch to whatever men were around. Sometimes just my grandpa, sometimes it seems hordes of them were there helping out at the sawmill...

    I have to admit that I'm still like a kid around Christmas. I did know what I was getting this year from my MIL, sort of, but last night I think she almost strangled my husband when he blew it right in front of me. We were making dinner and she asked him what he wanted, and if he wanted the same thing she is getting me. He was like, oh I wouldn't enjoy feeding...
  23. Adalaide
    That's scary! I'm glad you're okay though and hope that you're back to feeling yourself soon. I'm not terribly far from that first mammogram and frankly not particularly excited. I have nothing but sympathy for that whole thing too as I've heard it can (as it was for you) sometimes be dreadfully awful. I ended up having Spam and toast and eggs. I still...
  24. Adalaide
    Now I want Spam for supper! And I had to. My oldest daughter went through many food phases. She decided one morning she was a vegetarian, except chickens. Chickens don't have feelings. It was the only way to get one more "meat" into her.
  25. Adalaide
    Yes, I suppose it is a fair question. It never occurred to me as a child that things weren't somehow natural. We killed our own animals, until I was 3 we had a milk cow and we grew our own vegetables. I didn't know food could come from, wherever it is marshmallows come from. I suppose I'm an odd duck though, as a parent I convinced my preschool aged children...
