Actually the webs do creep me out almost as much as the critters themselves. Nothing like striding out your front door only to be enveloped in sticky spiderweb.... UGH!

Had a bat in my house about a year ago. It really freaked out my ten year old beagle. The bat was flying around and the beagle was howling at it. After we got the bat out of the house, the bealge hid under the bed for about a week whenever we left the house. Poor little beagle. :lol:

What about bat poop? :lol: What happens to all those eaten mosquitos while those bats are skimming you? :lol:

Having said that, I think I'd like to see those swarming bats...but if I ever go there I will go in rain attire, lol. :lol:

:lol: They don't poop on takeoff :lol:

I was standing below the swarm and turned out clean and dry at the end of it. The worst part was grass on my butt from sitting :)

I'm having some Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream right now. I never was a fan but my husband turned me on to it & I am hooked now. I'll bet he wonders sometimes where all his ice cream goes.

Anyone try Breyers?

swittenauer Enthusiast

Mine is Breyers & it is yummy!

She sure did....

Way to go Rachel!

I wish you would have started it 2 months ago when I was eating dairy <_<

I'll bet he wonders sometimes where all his ice cream goes.

:lol: It was the ice cream monster

Me, too. :angry::(

I have a little nibble here & there & before you know it.....oops, its gone.

Well, I am off to my daughters school to drop her supplies off. She is in the 1st grade officially!!!!!

I haven't Picard.

My favorite was Haagen Dazs, Mayan Chocolate, Dulce de Leche, and Mango :D

Speaking of Mango, where are you??

(I say this though I have phobias of my own. SPIDERS are mine. I can handle one at a time but if someone invited me to sit in a restaurant while swarms of spiders scittered by I'd be out of there like a shot!!!!)

Spiders freak me out too! If I see one crawling across the floor it gives me the chills and I jump a mile in the air, I just can't even stand the sight of them. Sorry little spider dudes. I have to have someone squish them for me.

Sorry Picard, missed your post about the bat and your beagle. Poor little beagle :(

Well, I am off to my daughters school to drop her supplies off. She is in the 1st grade officially!!!!!

1st grade, how exciting :):) Such a big day!

you guys are talking to the 90-lb 16 year old girl who beat 3 argentinian men in a steak eating contest and then ate dessert! i love to eat!

I am about 3/4 way done with the ice cream already... YUMMY!

i eat haagen dazs and my favorites are strawberry, and the chocolate peanut butter, i think that chocolate and peanut butter and like the best combination alive!!!!!!!!! that'y why when i ate soy i would wolf down like 50 reeses cup every day!

Getting back to the APUSH notes, i just did 9 pages which is good, finished the chapter, only 40 pages more! and 7 days to do it and write an essay! YAY! so close to being done!

(i turn the internet off when i am working so i don't get distracted by you silly-makers so that i wnot do my homework... but i give myself a break when i finish a chapter or finish the day's work...)

Hey, Lymetoo, I'm a calligrapher & native Texan too. Is it something in the water? Ink, perhaps?

Maybe so!! I used to teach it to my third and fourth graders! They loved it and it helped their cursive writing as well!

My brother moved from Texas to Florida about 20 yrs ago and I found out one Christmas that he was doing calligraphy as well! We were both self-taught. His calligraphy is REALLY nice!!!

heheehe!!

I WAY more afraid of TICKS than spiders or bats! WAY more! Hate wasps too, as I swell up terribly from them.

I haven't seen the bats in Austin [except on TV] but I've seen bats coming out of several caves in Texas, as well as the bats in Carlsbad Caverns.

Bats are good....but not when they get too close!! We had some in our school once when I was student teaching. THAT was NOT good....but it provided a great learning experience for the children!

I LOVE haagen Dazs :P I also like Ritters custard....is that gluten free? I just realized that I don't really know :huh: I haven't had it in forever, so I never found out.

Ritter's won't commit. They're a cya company that just says, sorry, we can't feed you!! We have other people who will pay for our custard and we don't need you anyway! You'd probably sue us if we did feed you, we'd rather you starve!! <_<

Thank goodness there are companies out there who care that we eat and just let us decide what risk is worth it.

ive never heard of Ritters must not be a company that is in Cali

I am glad that some companies think that we should not die :P

I've not heard of Ritters either. Is it a frozen custard, or pudding-like custard??

If you like pudding Morgan, Cozy Shack is gluten-free, they don't want anyone to die :lol:

CarlaB Enthusiast

Ritter's is frozen custard. It's out of Indiana, started about 10 years ago and is spreading through franchising, mainly in the midwest. They'd be more popular IMHO if they served us!! Here they have a family of 8 who can't go there, so has to settle for somewhere else ... and I mean settle, they're the best! Except for the fact that they're jerks!!

flagbabyds Collaborator

if they are jerks they can't be the best for us!

haagen daaz what i live off of!

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.
    • Levi
      When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wheat, rye, or barley) one consumes does not cause a person to contract Coeliac Disease. So if neither of you as her biological parents have Coeliac then your daughter cannot pass any blame should she contract this horrific disease.     It’s humbling, and sometimes I believe GOD allows such as these autoimmune diseases for those who need it most. 
    • Lori Lavell
      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million to continuously create systemic inflammation. This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. For individuals with celiac disease, the primary concern is avoiding gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, as these are the grains scientifically proven to cause damage to the small intestine. While some people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may also react to other grains, this is not universal and varies from person to person. For most people with celiac disease, grains like corn and rice are considered safe and are widely recommended as part of a gluten-free diet. That said, you raise an important point about systemic inflammation and individual tolerance. Some people may indeed have sensitivities to other grains or find that eliminating additional grains helps them feel better. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between celiac disease, which requires strict avoidance of wheat, barley, and rye, and other conditions or sensitivities that may involve broader dietary restrictions.
    • trents
      I disagree, Lori. Gluten is a particular protein, not a category of proteins. It is found in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains have proteins that resemble gluten to one degree or another but are not gluten. Gluten is gluten. Avenin is avenin. But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins found in these other cereal grains. It's like the term "kleenex" has come to refer to all facial tissues.
