tom, we might not be as nutty as Susie, but we all make our decisions the same way, by the way we feel at the moment so we're likely to change our mind. I believe men make decisions in a more rational manner so are less likely to change their mind.

Dear lord!!!....'choppy bangs', 'Long eyebrow bangs', 'Fringe bangs' ... :blink: bangs, bangs, bangs!!!!.....how about 'hair around face' (insert emoticon with hair) :lol:

elye Community Regular

I've always called my falling-on-the-forehead, above-the-eyebrows hair my "fringe". This word is never used to refer to this in North America; we all use "bangs" over here. But I love the sound of "fringe"...and it IS a fringe, for heavens sake:

fringe (frindz) 1. n. an ornamental border // an outer margin.

"Bangs" just sounds so...violent?

Does no one remember that nikki post?

You aren't all still hooked on SoyDelicious fake ice cream are u?

Will no one ever acknowledge that a 3 or 5 or 7 or 9 day food elimination test really may not always be long enough?

Ok - now to the point . . . . . . .how is it possibly the job of a phone surfer to "find it"!!!!!!!!? :lol::lol::P :P

You mean it's not the smelling like a dingo after all?

I'm not sure I appreciate the difference betw a "baked dingo brain" & a well-refrigerated AC'd one. :huh::huh:

Long-time OMGers? Is Dingy a bore in the winter months?

And Tom got carded

:lol:

I got carded until I was about 40. Then the ravages of Celiac made me LOOK like I was in my 40's. :angry:BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was still carded 1/2 the time @ 35. (Did I say that already?) Then kinda stopped going out. :(

Strangely I also looked *older* as a teen. Was in a union @14! Always was ready to buy the beer, w/ fake ID help, natch. :)

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! :lol: Dingy is never a bore. It's just that, I think I become slightly delirious and more - approachable, maybe? -

with an overcooked and wilted brain. Also maybe more giggly.

Wait. that isn't true. I"m always giggly. Does the baked brain make one GIDDY? :P

and WTH is wrong with this forum, spread about the entire page now??????

HELP! what happened to me pages? am I the only one?

WooHoo!! checked off everything on my to do list!

Just collecting up my homework and letting my hair down (which now strongly resembles muppet hair) and heading out for the boat.

From my mom:

The Seamstress

>The seamstress replied, "Yes."

>The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all

>"Yes," cried the seamstress.

Yeah, we ran out of marbles a long time ago. :lol:

:lol::lol: No, I put all the other intimate details of my life out here for public viewing, why not this! :D Two things -- one, make the Nike slogan your mantra. Two, it's hard to feel bad when you feel good. :rolleyes:

Your husband will now wonder when you hit your head.

tom Contributor
Tom, so no dating for almost a decade? Is this going to change now that you're feeling better?

Aargh I meant to answer this yesterday!!

Aaannnnnd earlier today too.

So, here goes.

Yes

Yes

<bow> thanguooverimucsh

CarlaB Enthusiast

Tom, glad to hear it. I can't believe it's been over a decade! :o

tom Contributor
Tom, glad to hear it. I can't believe it's been over a decade! :o

Well, "Marbles", that wasn't entirely true, but it's not like this is the SeriousYak thread!! :lol::P

No one seriously believed I had one word answers did they?

But I *did* mean to answer this yesterday!! Also earlier today, but no time to find it! :o

1st off, it's changed already. Didn't I mention that on my last SJ trip I had 2 dates? Mei both times. We had dated ~8-9 yrs ago. She was the only one w/ same ph #!! :D

I *had* to have mentioned how ridiculous it was to be locked out the apt. complex while she's supposed to be on her way!!

Hadn't eaten & all my food's up there. Hadn't showered or even had a chance for simple splash on face. Propped open one door, but ph reception so bad I can't still see door and make/recv calls. Case of Redbridge (SJ boys wanted some of their own) left upstairs at Apt door, then can't even get back up to IT before Mei shows.

It's after 2 and I've been up since 6 but haven't eaten or anything and so we end up starting a :lol: non-date date w/ my Redbridge in her trunk, going to WhF so I can eat!!!!!

4 hrs later I realized that was not a non-date!

We went out the following night too.

But she's not girlfriend material for NoSoyBoy.

(Too many words? Which are better left untyped?)

She wasn't a girlfriend 8-9yrs ago really anyway. Just off & on dating.

Last girlfriend was '96 and we broke up after Pete died & celiac's depression wouldn't let go.

Did see her and some others occasionally thru '02 or '03. Once celiac's full brunt got on a roll, I didn't see anyone.

So yeah - it's pretty dang ridiculous.

And I don't even *want* to meet anyone in Phx!! Well, maybe that needs to be amended to "anyone I REALLY like". Hehe ;)

OMG with the way I get carried away w/ everything these days, some luc . . . . . . .is there a delicate way to finish this sentence?

<just did>

:lol::lol:

Susie's new dating adventure has me looking more favorably on my chances of finding someone w/ enough of the same interests etc.

Now who do I know in SJ w/ dogs?? <a mild layer of canine stench *works* for some ppl!>

(My gawwwwd it was so easy when on stage w/ sax somewhere every week!! :P )

CarlaB Enthusiast

Now, if you and Mei end up together, you will have the romantic story that it was because she was the only one with the same phone number as last time you were there. :lol:

Oh, and after posting a couple times on my phone, yes, I can understand having one word answers! This is because I can type very, very fast!

Words better left untyped? "She's not girlfriend material" :o , how cold! :o:o;)

And need I say, "Uh, oh"? When Susie said she didn't want to meet anyone, look what happened!

Mtndog Collaborator
Tom, glad to hear it. I can't believe it's been over a decade! :o

Tom- Practice on those AZ girls and then when you find one you REALLY like, lay on the soy free charm :D:wub: :wub: :wub:

tom Contributor

Practice what exactly?

You mean talking the talk? Being a cunning linguist?

:P

I'm all over that!!

Now, if you and Mei end up together, . . . .

. . . . .

Words better left untyped? "She's not girlfriend material" :o , how cold! :o:o;)

Nah, she was fine for then, but not now. Oy I'm actually thinking she could be a good friend.

"How Cold!"?? No no no I'm not saying it to HER, just here!

It's not like she'll ever end up in this forum AND crack the code that reveals my acct name!!! :lol:

And need I say, "Uh, oh"? When Susie said she didn't want to meet anyone, look what happened!

Nyet!!!!!!!

I didn't want to meet anyone for YEARS and look what didn't happen, EmptyJar Spice!! (nah I like "Marbles" better :lol: )

No way am I going to get involved HERE while moving THERE!!

Bite your tongue! :P <ow!> :angry:

      Looked this up.   Yes, forgiveness and bearing with people is people is vital.

      I must admit I've been on both sides.  Before my diagnosis, and in my ignorance, I thought all the special diets we see around us today were unnecessary and people were making a big fuss over nothing.  There is a shop in the small town where I live that sells organic and gluten free food and I used to people walking in and buying things and thought they were being a bit ridiculous spending extra money on what I thought was a fad.  Yet since my diagnosis that shop has been a real lifesaver.  I guess It is hard for people to see the necessity of all this extra effort if they haven't experienced celiac disease either themselves, or in someone they love.  That said, honestly, I have wondered at times if I would have been as understanding had my husband been diagnosed with coeliac disease instead of me. He has been great.  It must be incredibly difficult if your close friends and family aren't supporting you in this way. Following a gluten-free diet can involve a lot of extra hassle and can be expensive, but I do find that the world is so full of people struggling with autoimmune illnesses now, allergies and intolerances, that people are definitely becoming more attuned to things.   Word is getting out there. In 2022 a long-running popular TV series in the UK, Doc Martin, ended with a final case: a patient being diagnosed with coeliac disease.  I don't know if anyone saw it but I was so heartened by that episode, that celiac disease was given centre stage for the last ever programme. The patient in question had been suffering from a horrible rash which turned out to be dermatitis herpetiformis. He also had anemia, felt faint and was plain exhausted.  It would have been good education to anyone watching who didn't know about the disease and they would have been left in no doubt about its seriousness.  I thought to myself as it ended, well, now, that's another piece in our campaign to make coeliac disease better understood!

      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.
