    Richard, stop friskin' everybody's wookie (here, an idiomatic expression meaning to cause explosive laughter on an online-forum)... I'll have you know that I have already sent out a couple of test balloons in my travels this morning for my new mission. My kids were yelling at each other because they weren't giving each other enough room at the sink, and...

    Ah, c'mon, sure ya could....we have to practice because I'm serious about making this the new, "it" phrase for 2007. Along with meaning to fix one's hair, it could also refer to being lazy: "They've gotta fire that guy. He just sits around, frisking the wookie all day"... Or to being deceptive: "She told me she's only forty, but hey, I know she's...

    Frisking a wookie...is that anything like chucking a moon? Having a cow? I think we should coin a new expression right here and now...if you wake up in the morning and your hair is like Karen's cat's, you say, "man! Lookit my hair! Hand me a brush, I gotta frisk this wookie!"

    ARCHIVED Eft

    elye posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    I know there are many of you who are familiar with the writings of Dr. Joseph Mercola. Some here, I know, dismiss him as a quack (I will suggest that the more you read of him, the less likely you may be to feel this way). I've been following his research on nutrition and disease for some time. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with or has been involved...

    If you're ever in Ottawa, The Bella Vista Restaurant on Bank Street has incredible gluten-free pizza (no extra charge) and two or three gluten-free pasta dishes that I haven't yet tried. They also have gluten-free beer, which IS more expensive so I stick to my one glass of chardonnay...

    ARCHIVED Professional Dilemma

    elye replied to mari-lyn's topic in Doctors

    A big problem with our "cure" for this disease (gluten-free diet) is the fact that for many people it doesn't work WHAMMO! like a narcotic...in fact, it can take more than a year to feel a real difference. This can be really unfortunate for patients like this lady, who went on the diet for two months and felt no better. Understandably, she figured it wasn...

    Add me to the "silent celiac" list...at least I was when I was first diagnosed. My only symptom was low iron, so I thought for a while my blood work had been switched with someone else's. Just made no sense that I had never had any gastrointestinal issues at all. Then I had the biopsy, and there was villi damage. Since going gluten-free, I now get bad...

    Wow, my sympathies, Steve... You say you're very lucky to be working where you are, and the people are great. I'll believe that, but your boss sounds rather like a nasty piece of work. Or stupid. Neither is easy to live with in a work enviornment!

    Gotta use whips and chains, huh?...I've always just popped an Altoid...

    Mouse, I know what you mean...the pressure's on to stay not just healthy but ALIVE, as I don't quite know how my husband would manage around here without me...

    Rusla, those added "MALE" steps sound an awful lot like a routine I would put myself through. But I tell ya, they still cannot find that magarine in the fridge that is sitting right there...YA JUST NEED TO MOVE ONE LTTLE THING...
  14. elye
    Now that we have Rusla here to round up the number of girls on here, I must share this gem that was sent to me by my husband after it went around to all the guys in his office and they laughed uproariously. While it is definitely a "guy" joke, I admit I found myself nodding and chuckling as I read: (any guys reading, get ready...)... A sign in the...

    Wow, at last some light at the end of a long tunnel for you! Please let us know how it goes at the specialist's.

    It's amazing...the Inuit up in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut have more than forty words for snow, depending on its consistency and weight. Talk about being a central part of your life!

    Why are you hiding from your alpha female? Has she been asking you to "PASS MY SWEATPANTS!?"
  18. elye
    Ya want snow, come to Ottawa...there's just far too much of the stuff for me in our winters. Snowbanks that are taller than I am, snowtires that just can't get through the drifts, constant back-breaking shovelling (our snow seems so much HEAVIER than anyone else's!)...and yet, we have the BEST toboggan hills. And snowball-fights. And cross-country ski...

    Where in Ontario are you, Ursula? Were you devastated by the '98 ice storm like we were?

    Richard, with my apologies to all who already know, I missed the whole thing about you hiding. What gives? Females PMSing in your household?
  21. elye
    But if she's PMSing and she's anything like me, the fridge will be the first door she opens...and reopens...and reopens...

    Don't wanna hijack this hilarious thread, but just a serious interjection: I've been looking into golden doodles and labradoodles to accompany our standard poodle who needs some company. I've done the reading, but the best research has come from my vet and our kennel owner, who both said that these "designer dogs" should never be bred together as the vast...

    Boy, I hear you...and #7 becomes my mantra--"Pass my sweatpants"...NOW.

    Well, since we all seem to be ladies here: The 12 things that PMS stands for: 1. Psychotic Mood Shift 2. Pass My Shotgun 3. Perpetual Munching Spree 4. Puffy Mid-section 5. Pardon My Sobbing 6. Pimples May Surface 7. Pass My Sweatpants 8. Poopy Mood Syndrome 9. Potential Murder Suspect

    I've never had extreme symptoms after glutening--some bloating and brain fog, but if I'm feeling this way and I go for my regular run, I find the symptoms are pretty well gone when I finish. Particularly the brain stuff!
