Damn... . . . . .the Funny Object thread is now locked. I was steering the debate toward the "thing' being perhaps an elephant's trunk... . ....I was ready to draw diagrams an' everything..... . . . ...

Never mind. The way the board's been going lately I'm sure you'll find another opportunity :rolleyes:

Dani sure did get the best of that whole exchange - showing some new talents.

Guys, I am living with a green-eyed monsta :unsure:

We are still feeding the neighbor's cat. They came back and are renting a few miles away, took her home with them, there was almost immediately another aftershock, and she ran, showed up back here 3-4 weeks later, all skin and bones and burrs, and spooky, but here. She is slowly regaining confidence and putting on condition. She used to show up for food once a day, now it is more like three times a day (winter's coming on). We have to move where we're feeidng her because I have a curved stairwell on the outside of the house with "wonky" glass in three long narrow windows in it but "she who kows she is the apple of our eye" can look out the lowest one and see the unfaithfulness to this other feline creature that is occurring, at the same time the green-eyed one has been put on a diet because our housesitter fattened her up last year and our cutting her back hasn't done a lot of good. So the green-eyed furry one I am sure figures that all the extra food that she should be getting is being transferred to this outdoor interloper :ph34r: She then goes over to the front door and wails, crying her heart out :lol: , until we come back in. And the neighbor's kitty can "feel" the evil eyeball on her.

It was all over my jeal-ous-y :D

Well, I'm five hours behind you, Gnick, and three ahead o' you, Ptaoughmmn... .. ..guess I'm right kinda in the middle. Strategically, I believe there is NO advantage to being where I am. :rolleyes:

Well.... . . ....we have maple syrup...and fantastic beer. However, I can have neither of them...

Gnick! You have a ban on hose pipe use over there?? What is a hose pipe? Like, a regular garden hose?. .. ...:huh:.. . ...and why can't you water things if there has been so much rain -- wouldn't there be a bloody surplus of the stuff?

Bet yer English country gardens look beautiful!

T'is a paradox indeed Emmel!

It's been one of the driest winters on record, the reservoirs have run low and so a (garden) hosepipe ban was put in place.

As soon as this was in place it rained virtually EVERY day in April (it's still not enough though to top up the reservoirs for our water supply dry.gif)

SOoo, as the ground is so dry & unporous, the heavy rain has just run off of it causing flash floods.

Fascinating eh? blink.gif

Aw, damn no comments on the Omission gluten-free Beer thread. :(

I'm guessing it's more due to it being in the Publications section than anything else, right?

Beer threads usually get ppl talking.

Anyway . ....how can someone of sound mind name a gluten-free beer OMISSION and not actually omit the barley??????!

Usually Oregon plays to a higher standard in these matters.

These barley gluten-free beers are hard to explain to Hub. He happily goes off on his errand to the beer store. He, ever on the look out for a new, improved gluten-free beer, might bring one of these home. But They say " gluten-free"!

Yes honey, and they achieved their goal - you bought it.

In my world, the babies, including Dufus Drumstick the turkey have all managed to get themselves up the ramp and into the coop. Yay!! I was tired of chasing peeping babies around trying to get them up to bed while their frantic mom ran up and down the ramp trying to get them up to follow her. Sadly, Brine, the other turkey, didn't make it. I think the feed store sold me a sick bird, as he went pretty quickly.

If'n yer bored, check out the pic of Seuss, soggy and filthy, on fb. I laugh at him every time I go out, and he's getting pretty miffed at me. :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is the end of an era here in Canada. Today the Royal Canadian Mint will strike the last one-cent coin (penny) ever.

Oh, and:

May the fourth be with you, Luke. ;)

      So, I would assume it means that if the risk of developing celiac disease in the general population is 1%, people with the DQ2 gene have a 10% risk of developing celiac disease. So, have you or your physician concluded that you have celiac disease?

      I would stop Xanax. It will eat away at your DAO enzymes needed to break down histamine . No energy drinks will do the same. I use to have all reactions in stomach now it's changed and started in my chest , which completely sucks and bummed. Maybe your reacting to high histamine foods.

      I haven't been on the site for a while and I have some update info. Genetic tests show I have the Celiac markers and high risk for Celiacs's (10X it shows). Immoglobulin A and G are low - just below the 'green' range; immoglobulin M is in the 'green'. Zinc, Iron, magnesium, ferritin, and b12 are all in the 'green' range. I've been off the PPI...

There are two main genes, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, that have been identified as providing the potential for developing celiac disease. Since 40% of the population carries one or both of these genes but only 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease, the genetic test cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease, simply to establish the potential for developing it. Gene testing is usually done to rule out celiac disease vs. NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In other words, if gluten consumption is definitely causing someone problems but they don't have the genetic potential for developing celiac disease then the diagnosis would be NCGS. We also know that having both DQ2 and DQ8 puts one at higher risk for developing celiac disease than having just one or the other. But I'm not sure I've ever seen it quantified as in "10x higher". Not sure what you mean by this.

I use to have all reactions in stomach now it's changed and started in my chest , which completely sucks and bummed. Maybe your reacting to high histamine foods. But it's hard to avoid cross contamination.  I would get pea milk made by ripples .it's a blue bottle . Ru getting cross reactions? Corn gets me. If it says gluten free it's probably not. Nibble at new foods and wait for reactions. Could be sudden or take 2 hours but some people think it hits 2 days later no way. Avoid coffee. Stick to free range chicken and steak or fish . Do lentils package by kroger works for me it doesn't even say gluten free but works for me just rinse well. Make big soups with sweet potatoes, cauliflower,  brocoli,  cucumbers, and add lentils or cook lentils separate taste better. If you can do potatoes add those inn huge plus. If you can do dairy yogurt try Noosa or a certified gluten free one. Don't smoke I had to quit creates heat and acid in your stomach which lowers your vitamins to break food down. Your reactions are in your chest . Do smoothies everymorning with apple.  🥒 cucumbers, arugula , oranges or add what you can tolerate with water. Try a peppermint tea certified gluten free that works for you. Watch out for spices like turmeric they add flour fillers to prevent caring. I got hit hard by that.  If you have a huge attack get the pin or eat oranges quick. If quinoa works for you get certified huge plus. I could go on and on . Just nibble first wait and see then continue eating it.  It's hard to find nuts that work for you. Maybe try nuts.com..... enter with caution

      I haven't been on the site for a while and I have some update info.   Genetic tests show I have the Celiac markers and high risk for Celiacs's  (10X it shows).  Immoglobulin A and G are low - just below the 'green' range; immoglobulin M is in the 'green'.  Zinc, Iron, magnesium, ferritin, and b12 are all in the 'green' range. I've been off the PPI for two weeks now and no real problems...minor heart burn and OTC antacids fix that.  So that's good to be off of that for good. I switched to a b complex sub lingual vitamin. I was surprised about the genetic results on Celiac markers. To my knowledge no one in my family had it or were diagnosed with it.  But they could have had and never been diagnosed.  And at 76 this has come up for me. Gluten free diet is going well and I do feel better on it - nothing major in changes - just better. I appreciate all the advice I've gotten on this site - lots of experience knowledge to draw on here. So thank you, all.
