All right, I need input as to whether or not this would qualify as phluid onslaught.... . . .you may be able to rest easy, pholks, as phluid indeed flowed here and caused a calamity, of sorts:

Last evening I heard a strange, rattling noise coming from the fridge. It got quite loud, and slowly abated (thank gawd) by the time we went to bed. Well, this morning the fridge wasn't working. I looked carefully inside, and a bag of milk that was sitting on the back of the upper shelf had been slowly leaking, and it was almost empty. It had run all down the back, into the freezer (which is on the bottom) and sat, pooling and freezing. So, the fridge had to be ripped apart by a $$$$$$$$ repairman this afternoon, and the fan and compressor chipped out of the ice milk. :angry:

Okay, so phlowing phluids happened here! Destructive, icy phluids! it's gotta count!

Phlowing phrozen bovine phluid! :o

Hmm... from the Urban Dictionary (for dose not out dere on da streets) ;)

Drop a dime:

To snitch on someone. Often, to save their own ass. Comes from the old cost for a payphone call, ten cents.

To narc somebody out, like Huggy Bear always does on Starsky and Hutch.

Huggy Bear's always dropping a dime, I can't believe he's still alive.

To rat someone out. As in telling the police about a drug deal.

Imma drop a dime on these niggaz.

So if ya only drop a nickel, does someone drop a dime on you???

(from a bag??? izzat how it comes in Canada?)

Yes! Methinks Canada is the only country that offers this bit of packaging variety. We have the option of buying a big package of three litREs of milk that come in three separate bags. One places the bag in a special milk-bag-holding container, snips one corner of the bag to pour, and there we have it.

Quite lovely, until one of the *!#%#1* bags leaks down the back of yer fridge.

How do you close that up? If you had Mexican in the fridge or leftover cinnamon rolls, your milk would taste like that. :blink:

This is an interesting query. . . . .. . .:huh:. . ..For whatever the reason, that is NEVER a problem. I keep raw and cooked fish in the fridge, smelly, garlicy leftovers. .. . . ....never does our milk taste phunny. Perhaps sumfin' in the plastic.....:unsure:.. . . . . ..

So, it's a Commonwealth Milk Packaging System! Except... . . ..NZ apparently does not partake. . .. . ... . .I wonder if it was invented in the UK or over here? Probably across the pond - - we Canucks don't have many exciting claims to fame when talking about inventions.

Well....except for these astonishingly impressive must-haves:

The automatic steam-driven foghorn

Instant mashed potatoes

The bloody Mary

The table-top hockey game

Man, what in hell would the world be like without us Canucks thinkin' up these things??

Hi Psilles,

Just reading through all of the posts I've missed. Ever find out what died in your fridge (was it Em)?

Saw my back doctor today and he gave me trigger point shots. Guess what- it seems to have worked. I don't know how long they last but there's also another procedure that's longer lasting.

I swear I have a doctor appointment or lab test every day between now and the end of March. If it will make me feel well enough to take walks on the beaches in April I don't care!!!

Miss you all!

I was wondering about that stuff the other day. I'm not sure about the ingredients. Is it gluten-free? I'm thinking the gravy part might not be.

Maybe I could start some threads asking if odd foods are gluten-free. Chocolate covered ants? Marmite? Pork rinds?

Commercial plates of the stuff are definitely NOT gluten-free, but I know it can be made with cornstarch as the gravy thickener. OMG, I have partaken in a plate of poutine only three or four times in me life. .. . ...felt just horrid afterwards. . . . . ....fat......salt... . . ..more phat.... . . .. . ..

I think just LOOKING at the stuff is high-cal.. . . . ...

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Marie70 · Posted

      Hello, My mid twenties daughter is blaming my husband and I for her celiac disease.  She has not been diagnosed at all, but GOOGLE has informed her she has it.  She is going to go get tested now, but my question is, did we?  I was not the best cook while she was growing up and often made quick processed food for meals.  She is blaming us for what she ate growing up and is angry that we didn't feed her better.  I don't know how to react and all I could tell her was I was sorry.  Her older brother has Crohn's disease and he was diagnosed as a teenager.  She is also furious with us that we didn't change his diet either.  I don't know why I didn't and I am having so much guilt I don't even know how to handle this situation.  Both sides of our family have a history of IBS, Celiac and Crohn's disease.   I guess I just wanted to hear from anyone out there that can either point blame at me (I can accept it) or tell me that the food she ate growing up didn't have an affect on her.  I am thinking it most likely did. Thank you, Marie

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.
