  1. Okay...whassup?...Tom, you are apparently one year old, turning two on February 6th. Whose birthday is it? Too early in the morning to go checking all profiles, bah...Happy Birthday to whomever!
  2. Uh huh...a likely story, you newlywed, you!
  3. Uh....Amanda, why the need for a bath and a shower during the same evening, with the shower being something needed suddenly and quite hurried? What's goin' on over there?...
  4. Okay, here are some things to mull over, Jess: I have spoken with my DH, who is an insurance adjuster. He laughed quietly and shook his head when I told him about the possible insurance claim that could happen with your lab. He's informed me that in his job experience with the big insurance companies up here, the adjusters and underwriters know...
  5. Whoa...Well, this piece also claims that yetis are "impervious to all firepower, with the exception of napalm", which we now know is completely false. So the accuracy of these claims must be questioned. Although at times, I have noticed with our yeti a passing resemblance to Oprah... Gad, here I am, on a snowy Saturday morning, my big weekend newspaper...
  6. Indeed... better than a big, hairy ear growing out of her back...
  7. I was one of those silent celiacs before diagnosis, i.e., I had no noticeable symptoms with the exception of low iron. Quite amazing, really, that I was diagnosed at all, considering that the average celiac waits eleven years for a correct diagnosis, and many of them have very obvious, often debilitating symptoms! If they've found the antibodies in your...
  8. Yes, I heard some time ago that cinnamon helps regulate blood sugars, and I make a point of having some each day. Chromium picolinate, also...500 mg a day is recommended for blood sugar issues. I maintain tight control of my bs (I'm type one), and like others on here, it goes up suddenly when I'm glutened. Peggy, you may want to invest in a home glucose...
  9. Whenever I hear a Scottish accent, I always think of my grandmother's joke that she used to tell, in a terrific Scottish brogue (This was my dad's mom, and she was funnier than he is...) Now, I'm certain that much of the effect and humoUr came from her fantastic rolling R's and lilting cadence, but I think it will still be funny when read: Old Ina and...
  10. Agreed....but Jess, I fear for you, now. What on earth will become of you? Combining DNA is....terrifying stuff. There were photos in our National papers not long ago, showing work that Chinese scientists have done--they injected human DNA (no wait...or was it stem cells?....C'mon, you bevy of science minds, here, help me out!) into a mouse, and the end...
  11. YAY! Made Pseudo-Z laugh! Indeed...I'm a diplomat's despot, at times fondly referred to as "diplodespot", but since this sounds rather like a newly discovered Alberta dinosaur, I do not encourage this short form... Mygawd..... Our poor yeti! He's out loose, quite possibly injured...if he's found, should he be taken to a doc...
  12. Mornin, Silleez! Ptaum....why are you apologizing to me? I've missed something significant! Are you apologizing because I "don't got no stinkin' rack no more" either? (Thank you, Pseudo-Z...a line infinitely quotable!)... Or perhaps you are apologizing for saying my bad. For this, I shall forgive you. However, if you were a diplomat, you...
  13. Yes, Tom....we have to stop meeting like this.... A hilarious picture conjured up, here...!
  14. Oh, yesssss! Defrag and edit a cfg file.... What a turn-on......
  15. If you ever have high blood sugar, you've got diabetes.
  16. Ack! Substance P rears its ugly head yet again....Is there no end to this polypeptide proliferation?! Pseudo-Z! What a fantastic moniker! Said very quickly, it sounds vaguely Asian...Japanese or Indonesian. SO exotic--it's your new name, Susie. ....Whoa...is Jess around?...
  17. Amanda! I do hope you were not...hearing...this word on your honeymoon...
  18. [quote name='DingoGirl' date='Dec 6 2007, 01:02 PM' post='371291' polypeptides give me gas
  19. Mygawd...... "The Open Original Shared Link center in the Open Original Shared Link contains high concentrations of substance P and its receptor, in addition to other neurotransmitters such as Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link. Their activation stimulates...
  20. Yep, hypoglycemia is caused by two things: not enough food and/or too much insulin. Carbohydrates cause the blood sugar to rise, and therefore when they are ingested, your pancreas secretes insulin to bring it down. Therefore, a diet loaded with carbs (particularly simple, refined carbohydrate) will cause sudden releases of a lot of insulin, followed by...
  21. Darn right we don't! NO embracing of unknowns here....smacks of syllogisms and algebriac formulas and all of that HEINOUS mind-aching, aggravating stuff! Give me my misplaced modifiers! My parallel structures! Take me away from all of this!... Well....I think that substance P is a Past Participle. This, for some reason, aroused...
  22. Ah! Got me....I actually have a couple of QCCC's, in contrasting colours....
  23. Gah..... Jess, you may have once again provided us with a post-halter. This has a whiff of syllogism to it, which makes me askeert. I am left with one intriguing question: What the hell is substance P? Peroxide? Pineapple juice? Pee? I know my mood is markedly elevated when these substances are removed from my gut.
  24. (((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))), Lisa! I know you're Canadian, so you don't need to worry about insurance coverage, but this is a perfect example of how "univeral" health care just doesn't cut it anymore! Keep fightin' like the amazing Roughrider fan I know you are!
  25. Whoa, Sarah! What a nightmare... Just forked out for some brand-new snowtires, and I really needed to hear your story, because I'm not complaining about the expense any more!
