We even had our own cheers. Here's my favorite:

"Dismember them! Dismember them!

Tear off their arms and legs!

Blood makes the grass grow, kill! Kill! Kill!"

STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!!!! There is absolutely NOTHING fun or silly about GRAMMER!!! You guys can transfer this conversation to the "Can't get a date because I correct the English of all my suiters" thread.

:lol:

I'm sooo going to the library after work to check out Grammar in Use... then I'll come back later, with new impressive skills allowing me to correct the grammer of all my suiters...and THEN I'll become the new doyenne (definition a...okay fine, and B ) of that can't get a date thread you mention. :ph34r::lol:

Man I missed a bit this last hour or so....almost lost...wait...Lost everyday :)

Ps-I set the Yeti on the train to visit with Patti today. He was hoping to visit more friends in the states and canada. Anyone offering him a place to lay his head?

nikki-uk Enthusiast

Oh bless - our yeti is going to Patti's!!!! (he's going to love it there - and I know Patti's hubby aka packrat can lend him some old clothes -he's running low - shell bikini doesn't cut it in this weather anymore.

Yep, you're right...the verb "hit" here is in the simple past tense, and is also in the passive voice. This combination is a pain in the @ss to teach; actually, the passive voice generally is confusing when modifying. Sentences are active when the subject performs an action. They are passive when the subject receives an action or is the result if an action. The passive is used when we are unsure of the subject of a verb, when the subject is obvious or when it is not important:

This house was built in 1930.

My mail is delivered at noon.

It is also used when you want to sound formal or impersonal (announcements, rules, signs)...All passengers are asked to remain seated, All fees must be paid at registration, etc.

Like Janet and her algebra-solving, I'm getting a thrill thoughout my body as I explain... :lol:

:lol::lol:

I thoroughly enjoyed that!! :ph34r: (am I a geek?)

How about the batter?

Yes indeed - did it coat the fish? ....was it wheat flour or rice?? :blink:

It's also good for children who are avoiding getting in trouble -- "The lamp was broken." "The milk was spilled." See, with kids, no one ever actually does the deed. We have someone named "not me" living in our house .... any time I ask the kids who did something, all six of them will answer, "not me". I've yet to see this seventh child and am thankful that not much food is eaten by him.

:lol: Excellent !!

I must add that I am revelling in a culinary success !!! ...my second foray into the world of the slow cooker crockpot.

I have successfully made a plum polenta cake!!!!!!!!!!

...oh the excitement!!!!.....and who knew about polenta?? :blink: (I didn't :lol: )

Yes--he has arrived (thanks Amanda.... :unsure: )

He is wearing an old flannel shirt of Mark's--it's pretty cold and windy here today. The bikini is in the wash--it really needed a good cleaning--as did the old guy himself...

Where is the giant hot tub when ya need it???? He's practically busting out of the shower :lol:

Ok--he's good here for the week, after that I'll put him on a bus....who can take him then? Nikki--if you want him, we can get him to the airport. ;) Better get out and stock up on food--he gets grumpy when he gets hungry :o

Ridgewalker Contributor

Whatever you do, don't send him down here! My house is so tiny, I don't think he'd fit- especially with the Christmas tree up. :rolleyes:

BTW, how are everyone's pets? Lilo barfed in her crate last night- too much turkey? I was cleaning up dog puke at midnight. Maybe it's not the pet curse, but the never-ending-500th-post-body-fluids curse! <_<

Emily (you poor confused silly)

As you're reading, hit "quote" on any posts you want to comment on--the "quote" box will turn red, and just continue on hitting "quote" until you get to the end of the thread--then hit "add

I didn't know this either!!!!!!!!! So excited!

I have no clue. In honors English class in middle school I had a note card taped in the front of my notebook that listed what a subject, verb, adverb, noun, pronoun, direct object, and an indirect object were. Ask me to edit your paper for problems and I'm fine. Ask me to diagram a sentence and I'd rather die.

I used to like that but I HATE teaching grammar!

Yep, that's passive. In addition to the reasons Emily gave for the existence of passive, you can add -- so that English teachers can tell you to change it to the active voice because passive voice makes for a boring paper since there is no one doing any of the action.

It's also good for children who are avoiding getting in trouble -- "The lamp was broken." "The milk was spilled." See, with kids, no one ever actually does the deed. We have someone named "not me" living in our house .... any time I ask the kids who did something, all six of them will answer, "not me".

Yes, my mom occasionally points out that I've always been headstrong and sassy

Which is just how we like you!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about Lilo :(

Actually, we took Allo to the vet on Saturday...he's having a little trouble adjusting to the new house (we think) and peeing in inappropriate places :angry:

They did testing, including an x-ray, and he has a pretty bad case of arthritis in his back. It was obvious even to us when we saw the x-ray.

The vet couldn't believe he was 16, though! The first thing he said to us was--he's not really 16, is he?

So, we've added litter boxes upstairs to make it easier for him. :)

I could take him for the week, but he may catch Gus's yeast thing. Can you IMAGINE a yeti full of yeast?!....I wonder if he'd rise?...

Oh!! Minds out of respective gutters, people!! :o:o<_<

I've got a cozy extra room here in CA, how does he feel about dingos?

I am quite fond of polenta. However, having trouble wrapping my dingo-brain around polenta with plums. :huh: What kind of plums? REal plums, off a tree? or canned plums, that you mash up? :lol: Do plums come in cans, in the US? has anyone ever seen that? In my life there has never been a plum desert.

:blink:

how very sad. :lol:

Funny you should ask. Yesterday, there were TWO spots/drops/desposits of poop in the living room carpet. :huh: I nearly barfed (I know, more fluids to clean!).....I think Stinker carried one of the "lumps" in on her foot, or something......and the other one was just liquid......oh dear gaaaaaaaaaaawd........that she crapped in the house.

So, just four or five weeks after last carpet shampooing, I'll be renting the shampooer again.

HARRUMPHFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG- Allo is 16????? That's wild- he looks just like my first kitty- Popcorn. She was gray and white with a little half mustache and she lived to 18. The day before she went to kitty heaven she jumped up on the dining table and tried to steal the Christmas turkey. BEST kitty ever! I used to throw her over my shoulder and walk around the house with her purring!

Oh, GAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWD is right....TOO MUCH BODILY FLUID AROUND HERE!! Sarah's dog barf, Susie's dog diarrhea, my dog runny, yeasty earwax...Patti, Allo's remaining fluid free, isn't he? It's only the dogs. Janet, any canine puke or poop your way?

oh good gawd, a yeasty-yeti..........that can only be trouble............ :huh:

Whoa! Splendid alliteration, Susie! Very Dr. Seuss-ish. That could well be a character in one of the great master's lesser known collections....The Yeasty Yeti with the wocket in his pocket... :lol:

Okay, listen, guys...I've measured his inseam twice. Believe me, we do not want that beast ingesting ANY little blue pills... :o

Not that I've had to clean up. The boarding kennel owner tells me that she peed in her kennel when we boarded her over Thanksgiving. That's why we pay them the big bucks - to clean up her dog wee. I'm not sure why she does that. We don't have any problems at home. I wonder if it's because the inside kennel (concrete floor) looks just like the outside dog run (concrete floor) so to her the whole place is a big dog toilet!

You know, if the Yeti is yeasty, he can't go near Tom. If the Yeti turns yellow (as in a yellow yeasty Yeti), either he or Tom should probably leave the country. If you recall from Jess' original post, Tom was allergic to all three.

How wild was that Grey Cup win on Sunday night? Amazing...down to the last minute...Oh, right. I'm speaking to Americans....Alex, did you watch the game?

:D:D

Yeah, definitely! We had my dad and brother over for a mini Grey Cup party. Although I have to embarrassingly admit that I fell asleep during the middle part. Not bored, just tired. -_- I made Earl Grey tea for the occasion :ph34r: (although I know it is a different Earl Grey).

I do prefer the CFL to the NFL, but college beats both for me.

Well .. . .. .despite being pretty tall & having quite a reach, I *AM* having some trouble w/ the top area of my patio storage closet. It's 9 or 10 feet up!!

He could be quite handy for a few days.

And, we DO have a giant hot tub & Olympic-size pool here! (As long as I lend him my access fob, no one will mistake him for an unshaven & homeless former pro wrestler. We surely don't want a repeat of the Haystacks Calhoun incident!! <don't ask> )

;)

Whatever you do, don't send him down here! My house is so tiny, I don't think he'd fit- especially with the Christmas tree up. :rolleyes:

Speaking of christmas trees and UP .. . . .. .across the street someone did something I'd heard of but never seen. <giggle giggle> There are some sort of newly-built fancypants lofts w/ floor-to-ceiling windows & I'm looking at an upside-down christmas tree hung from the ceiling!!! :blink::lol::D

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: The ball was thrown in the house!

Oh!! Minds out of respective gutters, people!! :o:o<_<

How many gutters are we talkin'?

Silly me had imagined one shared community gutter in these situations.

And do y'all truly believe a mate-less Yeti needs yeast (or for that matter, Chuck "The Fluffer" Norris) when spending nights in the domiciles of any of this delightful delectable bunch of sillies? <me excluded thank you> <oh King Richard too>

And to toss in a fun personal note - I had to get a new car stereo & Fry's had an awesome one for only $57 (!!) which plays C.D-R/RW mp3s!!!!!!

I just bumped into a single disc containing a noteworthy variety - Patsy Cline :o, Led Zeppelin ;), Jimmy Cliff ^_^, Sinatra B), Goodbye Yellow Slick Toad errrrr Brick Road album, 2 versions of Ave Maria (Charlotte Church & Jewel), an Oakland funk band, 2 bands I used to play w/ (3rd wave ska & Motown cover) etc . . .. .

He's on Glucosimine and Condroitin for his arthritis...capsules that I open and sprinkle over his food. It's tuna and chicken flavored :P

      For me I gave up oat products and it finally cleared. I had a whole body reaction for months. Two additional culprits for me: shared grill at a restaurant or a shared toaster.  Hope you have relief soon.

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long before this.

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
