Who was having lunch wif somebody that had FB problems?? Em, was that you?? I'm looking for the details. What happened?

Friends down the street are getting a golden retriever pup in two weeks . . . so we will be able to partake in the joys of a new puppy (romping wif abandon and puppy kisses) without the misery of a new puppy (bedtime whining, 2 am potty breaks, wet spots on the carpet that you don't see until you've stepped in it) . . . :lol::lol: . . . I can't wait.

Our lunch was postponed until next week, but in her email to reschedule she did tell me that hackers got into her profile and began sending "horrific" messages to all of her friends, her photos were sent everywhere and she began getting messages from people she did not know. Evidence of phishing appeared, as well. I'll get more details when I see her. She's a sensible person who did not put up much information on her profile, so it remains frightening.... . .

We did have the realtor over on Wed nite and it went well but alot on our list to do

she said the house at the end of the street she listed had multiple bidders

some people still interested in our street for a location so when we are ready to list she has names.

We're running out of $$ people........... :ph34r:

We figure we'll be around Acadia National Park somewhere . . . I'm having a hard time navigating my atlas. There's a bazillion towns along the coast . . . all with populations under 1000 and everyone of them gets a dot. :blink: . . . I bought reading glasses . . . :ph34r:

No, this is Caramel. She's not a really big cat, but she looks huge in the picture. the Thinkpad is 12" wide by 10" deep. She weighs about nine pounds. :)

An unusual day here. I am at the store, but not really working. I'm just here as backup in case the newest hire needs support. <_<

Day 28 of the strike, and still no end in sight. The only thing is sight is more piles of garbage. :(

Gawd, yes! There's the best idea........I stay drunk all the time. Then everybody is so much easier to tolerate... . .. . ....!

Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . because now they're only hammered every so often???

. . . we're gonna spike the punch later after the "baby" goes home.

And if you stay drunk, you'll never get a hangover.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING SILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

I see that everyone is in phine phettle :lol:

but this is all I've read - got catching up to do.......not now, however. Am recovering from an entirely insomniatic weekend (got back late last night and SLEPT 10 hours straight in me own bed - twas a dream!!!!!!) and staying in my cool, darkened bedroom (about 110 here today, I think?)

We had some trauma on the trip and.....Weezee got kicked out of Sophie's mom's/uncles'condo :blink: there was screaming on the phone (from her mom) and a really psychotic attack - was very, very sad and traumatic (her mom is CRAZY) so.....we stayed at Reese's, five minutes away. He took us to dinner on Friday night.........we had such a wonderful time. Aptos.....he lives across the street from a golf course in a huge thicken of eucalyptus and redwoods, etc - coastal fog and COLD breezes, mixed with sun -

'TWAS PARADISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found my house over there - now all I need is 700K to buy it :(

<must buy lottery tickets>

will catch up later - going to "nap" now :ph34r: and watch my cable - OH!!! they took away all me many channels - no more HBO movies - - I am sooooooooooooooo relieved :lol: :lol:

Day 28 of the strike, and still no end in sight. The only thing is sight is more piles of garbage. :(

Dear gawd, POeter, this is hanus. It must absolutely smell hanus in many parts of the city. Windsor is at 100 days, are they not, of no garbage pick-up?

Unions! BAH! :angry::angry:Excuse the foray into political waters. ..... .. ..

Speaking of which, got a good look at Barack last evening on Anderson Cooper's report on The President in Africa. Man, he's got such an athletic, smooth, refined carriage - - haven't found the right adjective ... .. . ..... .he moves like a big, lanky yet graceful lion......the king that he is, I suppose..... . . .

This did not strike me when Obama was here in Ottawa. Perhaps t'was because he was here in February and he had his shoulders up around his ears, pounding his feet on the snow, pulling his Armani scarf tighter around his neck.. .. . . ..

Ya just can't look sexy, it would seem, in Ottawa. <_<:lol:

Jyaghnutt! We camped in Maine and Vermont many years ago. An incredible part of New England.....you will love it!

Not to your part of Canada I'm afraid, and would love to do that too!! I could brush up on my French before I came. I once dated a guy from Toronto; does that count? No, haven't been east of the Rockies in Canada; the western part is much more accessible from CA.

All right, I must recount to you all what transpired a couple of nights ago, the evening before MIL flew home. We were at the B and SIL's place for dinner, with in-laws literally everywhere I looked.

MIL was discussing how challenging it can be driving any great distances during the long winters up in Whitehorse where she lives. The Trans-Canada Highway is a main thoroughfare, and actually stretches right across the prairies into Ontario.

Listening along, I suddenly piped up, "Well, you must spend a lot of time on the Trans-Vaginal Highway".

:huh:

:o

:lol:

AND.... . . . ...I did NOT even realize what I had said. Everyone was staring silently at me (which they do very frequently anyway), and I then began to frantically replay the conversation in my head. I gasped, and started larfing hysterically.

Alone. Larfing hysterically alone.

I wonder what the speed limit is on that roadway? Long and winding, or direct? Any detours?

I would hope it is well-groomed and maintained.

:lol::lol:

      I understand your frustration about socializing while having celiac disease. I also have allergies to nuts, dairy, all forms of gluten including oats, strawberries and MSG. I get anxiety while grocery shopping and really take my time to read all labels. I always carry a magnifying glass with me wherever I go to read labels. Many products are labelled Gluten Free but contain Oats, and apparently this is becoming more common. I almost bought some gluten free flour but read that it contained oats. A certain percentage of Celiacs have this complication. I can’t help feeling offended and excluded when others act like I am being “high maintenance”. I am becoming better at being an advocate for myself.  I have had diverticulitis 3 times and each time hospitalized-once, the attending nurse didn’t know what celiac means-she had to research...  If others around me make comments I try to enlighten them, those who don’t get it are not my friends anymore. Be very careful about cross-contamination. I was sick recently for 10 days after a meal was contaminated while I was on holiday. If servers say they have gluten free buns or bread, ask if they use a toaster specifically reserved for gluten-free, or don’t chance it. On a positive note, I didn’t find out I had Celiac Disease until I was 60. Eating a gluten free diet means no more terrible headaches, hives, rashes, intestinal bloating and irregularity, Gastro Intestinal Reflux….when I follow a strict diet and mostly always eat at home, I feel great! I also weeded out “friends” who weren’t worth being around.

      Thank you, Trents- are there any safe alternatives?

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.
