And why, in heaven's name are you asking two kids, and a whiny-a$$ dude what they want YOU to make for them? You promise to avoid stuff you know they hate, but that's pretty much the end of your menu services. It sounds like you indulge Jesse way too much, and he's starting to take it for granted. Definitely family meeting, but new rules are in order... -
ARCHIVED Please Compare These Pictures Of My Hands With "normal"
Jestgar replied to JoshB's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
hmmm, if your hands have always looked like that, then they're normal. Keep the pics so you can compare them later, if you need to. -

uuuhhhh....and he's complaining about your cooking?? Why don't you do a dinner budget, figure how much per meal, then count by the week. You get half, he gets half. Anything left from each person's half they get to spend on themselves. Budget one day for take-out, pizza, or whatever random fun way you feel like eating. -

Well, you'll need to know what each of them likes to eat, so for the next month the three of them will take turns preparing the meals. You cooked meat for them, so they will need to respect your wishes and provide you with veggie meals. Option two. You cook only veg meals, anyone wanting meat can grab frozen hamburger patty and microwave it. -
ARCHIVED Considering Putting Baby On Gluten-Free Diet - Am I Paranoid?
Jestgar replied to Ollie's Mom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
It sounds like this may be your answer, and I hope his health keeps improving. I agree with the gluten challenge, but sometimes the response isn't immediate. Consider doing something like giving him a small amount of gluten in a month, and take careful notes. If he gets sick immediately, you have your answer. Keep careful notes of any symptoms; he... -

Very Happy about Nathan. Very UNhappy about you guys having to go all the way back to Houston. Save all the receipts in case you win, and then can find some way to get them to pay for your transportation and lodging. -

FS accepted all responsibility. Sent me a 'claim against the government' form. They didn't even want my 27 8 x 10 color glossy photographs with the circles an' arrows an' a paragraph onna back a' each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against them -
ARCHIVED Flu Shot Poll
Jestgar replied to Gemini's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sorry. They shouldn't make that many assumptions about your health. If I had had the same experiences as you, I wouldn't get the shots anymore either. I get a low grade fever, a few chills/body aches, and a headache for a couple days. That's it. -
ARCHIVED Flu Shot Poll
Jestgar replied to Gemini's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yeah, that's bad. I don't suppose any of the ER personnel thought to type you to see 1) if it were an actual strain of flu, and 2) if it were a strain of flu in the vaccine you had just received. That sort of info would be worth knowing (for them, you probably just want to know how long it will take to go away, and how to keep it from happening again). -
ARCHIVED Flu Shot Poll
Jestgar replied to Gemini's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This isn't technically correct. You can't get the flu, from the flu shot, but it is designed to stimulate your immune system, so it's likely that you'll feel ill for a few days after a few shot. How long you feel ill depends on your own personal body chemistry. If you weren't sick to the point of hospitalization, or being close to the point of hospitalization... -

I have asthma, and I got the flu once, in my 20's. It was horrible and terrifying, and I do not want to repeat the experience. I get the shot. -

dammit. multiquote didn't work. Something about the amazing sister part, then "I couldn't say it better than Henny Youngman...." or whoever you decide to quote. You get the sincere bit in, and you make it sound like you searched for just the right sentiment. -

Can we read it? The FS officer called me, said he saw my email and disagreed with it. That he didn't leave me 'alone in the forest', that it's a very busy place, and he drives up and down the roads all day and would have kept an eye out for me. Then he said he didn't understand why I was so upset at being "alone" since I was hiking alone. After a... -

I found the forest service handbook on line. Five days notice? no Removal of obstruction to more suitable place? hmm, if "unattainable" is considered suitable. And only allowed if the vehicle is "...an impediment or hazard to the safety, convenience, or comfort of other users, or is left in such a manner that it impairs access or use of any area... -

~2.5 hours @$177/hour, ~$88 because it was Saturday, $22.50 for 1/2 day storage , plus some service fee because I wasn't paying in cash. It's quite a racket. I imagine those guys will be sewer rats in their next life. -
