    Felt that way meeting Russel. Funny how that works.

    I am so not holding up my end of the conversation here..... I get to learn how to change a tire. very excited.

    I sprinkle crumbs (of any crackers) on soups and salads for extra crunch. Other people use them for coating foods. At least they wouldn't be wasted.

    Congratulations!! Try to interpret your mom's comments as "I love you and I'm worried about you". You are her baby, and she wants you to be healthy and happy.

    hmm, I'm not sure. It says 'any length'. Maybe Peter or Scott will have better answers.

    I just don't eat them. I'd rather eat real food.

    peanut butter cookies are easy to make - peanut butter, egg, sugar - and I know exactly what's in them. I microwave all of my home made, frozen meals.

    Pretty much all food is gluten-free, it's the packaged stuff that we have come to believe is 'food' that's the problem. Ditch the boxes and bottles and eating gluten-free is not a problem.

    Is it a shmoo?

    My tummy starts to hurt within a few minutes. I use this as a way to 'test' before eating something someone else has prepared. An hour or so later I get headache/fatigue.

    If you worked your muscles really hard,and they are sore, they are holding water (swollen, just like anything else that hurts). When they heal (2-3 days) they'll shrink down. Spend another week working really hard and then weigh in. Roda! :lol: When Patti mentioned checking in at the coffee house I had a vision of her and Mark, sitting down...

    exhausted. blisters. arthritic wrist hurts quite a bit. fingers may be permanently grey. half done. I'll try to con my partner-in-crime to help me again next weekend.

    Looking under the streetlamp for your keys, even though you lost them in the bushes.

    RWG, this is my take on this. Until recently, the only recognized body response to gluten was in the intestine. All the tests were designed specifically to recognize what gluten is doing to the intestine. It's not at all unreasonable to think that the antibodies to gluten that cause problems in other parts of the body are sufficiently different (recognize...

    I have heard of the immune system down-regulating itself in response to constant exposure (but I have no links for you). This would mean that after years of being exposed to gluten, your entire immune response is muted (both to gluten and other diseases). Once you remove gluten, your immune system recovers and responds to the occasional intrusion of the...

    Patti said Tuscaloosa! :lol: I just think it's a funny name.

    Seriously, why do it? If you told your doctor you feel better not eating deep fried mozzarella sticks do you think s/he would say "oh that's too hard to give that up, and your tests for heart disease were negative, so you should just keep eating those-"?

    You felt well for two months off gluten. Eating small amounts of gluten made you feel worse. I'm not sure what else would satisfy you.....?

    Hope all today's travelers stay safe. I'm gonna try to do two, maybe three more bags of mortar today. Stirring it is like stirring sticky rice - in 25 pound batches. Think I'm gonna weigh out 10 pound increments and just stop more often to mix more. While the whole process is 'easy', I did not appreciate the sheer physical labor involved. I will...

    Dang it Lisa! Not sure if you should run out and buy lottery tickets, or stay away from earthquake zones. I hope you and your friend are taking a car to Chicago. Tiling:221 pounds down, 770 to go
  21. Jestgar
    Beginning the great tiling adventure. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Sorry for this Peter. A one-cat cat in a multi household is an unhappy mix for everyone. You'll find the perfect kitty and Bagheera will find a home where he can be the most spoiledest cat around.

    Oh Emmy, I'm so sorry. I guess your dad needed a dog and figured one trained by you would be the best kind. I hope Jack understands that it wasn't Charlie's doing.

    I think I tasted it once and it tasted like freezer burn. I guess I coulda baked with it or something, but I don't bake so much anymore.

    Butter is gone. I figure it couldn't have been my resident raccoon 'cause he was out there this morning scamming scraps of chicken feed. Had he recently consumed 3 sticks of butter, I doubt he'd be interested in poop-covered, compressed grain.
