*******Jack's fascinating phact of the day:*********

On average, women say 7,000 words a day. Men say 1,200 words a day.

Ha!!

Except for two guys I dated........both very brilliant. Both hyper-analytical............absolutely WORE ME OUT. That was the end.........they talked too much and wanted to talk about every fact, feeling, nuance, how *I* was feeling, etc. made me psychotic and exhausted :wacko:

Pick a war, study it, and write about it. I personally find WW II the most interesting of the lot, but the Civil War is more complex from the US view (as opposed to the world view of WW II).

A pOeter sighting!!!!!!

Yes, WWII quite fascinating, really because of Churchill, my fave. oh, and lots of other things, of course.

And yes, as Em said - MUST have been Churchill's quote - he DID say everything! (and so wittily)

Martin (full eyebrows) permanently looks like this-----> :angry: ....is full of teen angst and ain't NEVER gonna see the inside of a school ever again (no doubt)....been out of school for 4 yrs already (was at a 'special unit')

Tres profound for you sillies......sumwon crack a joke for gaaawd sake

Oh he's a tough one, that Martin. Poor Nik. :( Say lots of prayers, is what I say......put 'em in God's hands because.........ain't no way a human can deal wif 'em.... :unsure:

Yep--DWTS on Mondays.....is it just me or does anyone else feel squicky watching Cloris dance and cavort with her partner?

:lol: Patti said squicky

OK- embarassing fact: I took a quote from this song for my high school yearbook

NO MORE PICC LINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:huh: was THAT the quote from the Kenny Loggins song? "NO MORE PICC LINES"? :lol: :lol:

sillies - listen to this.

Today I was to go in, in the morning, and work for Shane, my former boss, whom I help occasionally. So - I'm on standby becasue he has a GIGANTIC army truck FULL of marijuana raided from the illegal (duh) growing sites in the Sierra and the Sequoia. :blink: (this organization works on wilderness maintenance, including rehabilitation of these toxic, trashed grow sites - I have been on a couple of these trips myself). So.........he has been waiting for a phone call from some feds, who are going to escort him with truck to a secret spot to dump and burn the Mary Jane. :lol: [and NO, I cannot procure any for you, please do not ask :lol: ]

Shane is in a big ol' frenzy as national press outlets are coming to his office on Thursday (AP, UPI, and local stations) to get reports on these raids and, he wants me to help him on soooooooo many projects. We'll have about 1.5 days to do all of it.

Meanwhile, I'm waiting at home.......... :unsure:

JULIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is that puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When's he coming????????? (this is Weezee asking, not me)

got nowt else, sillies. Carry on!!!!!!!!!!!

Bunnie - NEED this banana bread recipe - don't MAKE me go look for it :lol:

And, I got to use me new word twice today :lol:

uh-ohhhh... hope this stays on 99... :unsure:

urgh... had to take out all the quotes' smileys to post

Skaught is is a psilly fonetic spelling of Scott, and refers to the board administrator, Scott Adams (username admin).

US history is a fascinating area of study. The US has been in existence for 232 years, but has been involved in so many armed conflicts during that time. The US has had the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Viet Nam, among other conflicts.

Pick a war, study it, and write about it. I personally find WW II the most interesting of the lot, but the Civil War is more complex from the US view (as opposed to the world view of WW II).

But then, "History is just one damn thing after another." I phorget who said that.

:ooopsies.... I DIDN'T MEAN IT SKAUGHT!!

well, thank goodness i don't have to write an essay for history... yet <_< well i have one on monday for a unit test, but it's not about a war

love that quote :D

A noble occupation......you missed my signing lessons back in July

darn! are u offering more anytime soon? ;)

GADS!!...BTW....since giving up the smokes *I* have turned into one of those insufferable converts that I promised I would NEVER be

After my friend (who smokes) had been round my house I realised with HORROR and DISMAY that the fleece jacket I was wearing was indeedin the path of her vile smoke..on the back of the chair she was sitting on!

..dear GOD!!! ....it was all I could DO not to whip the jacket from behind her (whilst making LOUD coughing noises) and hang that jacket on the washing line to air it!!!!

..I in fact waited 'til she left

I'm SUCH a hypocrit

:lol::P congrats on quitting!! whenever that was... :)

Another day of brand new clothes- I did mention how last weekend I broke down and bought two pairs of khakis at Kohls. It feels odd to have new items....I am such a dork!

Hi Erica- I go to bed by 11:30 on work nights, hopefully I'll catch you on next time

yay! more new clothes!! :D yeah, i'm usually off by about 11:30ish too...

Erica! beautiful av! The vital question: Are those your pheet? If not, we want to see them, in your ballet slippers. . . .. . ....

no, sorry its not... OH well i do have a "self-portrait" of my feet i took for photography class... hmm... ok well i put it up just for a bit, tell me what u think :)

Well now sillies....for about the 3rd time in his life I am pulling my youngest son (AKA Devil child) out of his school educational setting

GAAWD help me, I may live to regret this!!.... :unsure: but summat's gotta give.....it ain't working

Left a voicemail with the relevant tutors that they arrange a meeting ASAP (GADS... i really am a thorn in their side)

Poopy tutors (although would love to see their faces as they listen to their messages in the morn)

why? what's going on w/the "Devil child"?? is something wrong? :unsure:

Nikki! Lots happening wif that boy o' your'n. . . . . .no eyebrows, and a new school!

Where will he be going? How does he feel about it?

. . . Perhaps it is difficult to know how he's feeling much of the time. .. . .eyebrows are a vital part of facial expressions . .. .... ...Does he just look. . . . kind of. . . ..surprised all the time?

:lol: :lol:

Sillies, we might be getting snow this weekend ....tis a little early for snow in my book!!

:o *jealous* lucky!! the weather's so weird here.... HOT cold HOT cold HOT cold :rolleyes:

Wow, Nik.. . .. . .a real variety of children! I'm sorry to hear about Martin's troubles. Teenagers are perplexing, exasperating, exhausting.. . .. ..and then suddenly they're twenty, and gone .. . .......

If anybody can handle all of this, it is YOU!

:lol: SQUICKY! A tremendous word. What does this mean? Nauseated? Nervous? The feeling you get when you look over a cliff?

Actually, I must share this: When I was a very small child, I inadvertently coined a phrase that has become part of my family lexicon . . . we use it regularly, and it is rooted now in our clan history. I was standing with my parents up in the Gatineau Hills, looking over a very steep cliff. I stepped quickly back and said, "I can't stand there and look down for very long . . . it makes my bum crinkle". . . .....

oh well thanks!! so sweet of u to say :P

Gotta tell you my story.

Bought a crockpot from Amazon beginning of July. Have used it continuously since. A few weeks ago I noticed a flaw, which has since turned into a full fledged crack. Went to the Amazon site to try to return it. Since it's past the 30 days, you have to do something special. What that something special is, I couldn't tell you, because the site is set up in such a way as to not let you do anything (all the links lead to each other, none lead to where you can send it back).

I finally figured out how to email them (also not a trivial task) and sent a slightly snippy email saying I had a defective stoneware insert and I wanted to return it.

Went to my account to get the brand and search for stoneware replacements and discovered that Amazon is sending me a new one. This is like a four hour response time. I'm so amazed.

I'm sure the fact that I spend hundreds of dollars at their site has nothing to do with it :ph34r:

Sillies - have been working in the garden :unsure: haven't found anything dead or rotting yet.

And - the marijuana dumping took longer than anticipated. I have to be at the office at 8 a.m. SHARP tomorrow - gads. I usually roll in around 10. Crikey.

Actually, I must share this: When I was a very small child, I inadvertently coined a phrase that has become part of my family lexicon . . . we use it regularly, and it is rooted now in our clan history. I was standing with my parents up in the Gatineau Hills, looking over a very steep cliff. I stepped quickly back and said, "I can't stand there and look down for very long . . . it makes my bum crinkle". . . .....

:lol: my favorite blog (thepioneerwoman.com) uses the phrase "heiney tingle" when she really likes sumfin'

Two friends and I made up an expression when something or some place is soooooooooo depressing you don't want to be there. 'twas named after this horrid mall we had back then called Manchester Mall (I assure you, I have a niece who lived in Manchester for three summers and.....'tis nothing like any part of the UK, Nik :huh: )

Anywho........we three 13-year-old girls had just eaten at this dirty restaurant, where we spied cockroaches running amok and things floating in our water glasses. We'd been to a movie attached to the sad mall. So, it was about 110 degrees on a Saturday afternoon........we walked into the long, sad, depressing and desolate mall. Half the stores were vacant - no tenants. We saw maybe two or three people walking through the entire thing. We were all INSTANTLY struck with the feelign that we'd rather be anywhere but there - looked at each other and said (amidst tumbleweeds blowing through)......."this is so depressing. There is a mood here. It's a Manchester Mood. We must leave." :lol:

Sillies, to this very day............ALL of my friends and family know the word Manchester...........and it's simply used as follows:

"that's SOOOOOO Manchester"

"well, the food was good but the restaurant....kind of Manchester"

"I'm feeling a slight sense of..............Manchester"

"Fresno is just SO BLOODY MANCHESTER"

:lol: :lol: Very effective - the made-up term has been in play for.......over 30 years. Pheel phree to use it.

Shane?

All Hail Queen Erica!!!

In case you hadn't noticed, I had to leave to fix dinner......couldn't hang around for the rollover......DARN!!! ;)

I cannot remember... . . Lisa, is she celiac?

She hasn't been tested, but is sure she is at least gluten intolerant. GP refused to test her unless I got tested first <_<:blink: .....too late for me to consider that, as far as I'm concerned.

She had symptoms as a child and was diagnosed with the usual IBS.....different doc. No problems during her teen years but came back the last year or so. I've finally convinced her to take it seriously.....well, me and her ailing stomach.

She was eating gluten-free but then cheated on a grumpy day, with regrets. Shortly afterwards decided to eat gluten to get her rash to flare up before going to the dermatologist. I hope she's eaten gluten enough for the blood test.

Well now sillies....for about the 3rd time in his life I am pulling my youngest son (AKA Devil child) out of his school educational setting :ph34r::rolleyes:

GAAWD help me, I may live to regret this!!.... :unsure: but summat's gotta give.....it ain't working <_<

Bunnie - NEED this banana bread recipe - don't MAKE me go look for it :lol:

Alright, alright...... :ph34r:

SERIOUSLY awesome banana bread, here goes. Makes 2 loaves.

1 cup sorghum flour

1 cup arrowroot starch

1 cup buckwheat flour (or quinoa flakes)

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsps xanthan gum

6 eggs

6 very ripe bananas, I freeze mine and thaw, they're sweeter

1/2 cup honey, more if you like it sweeter

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix all wet & dry separately, then together. Mix very well, has a tendency to clump because of the buckwheat. I just realized I'm not sure how long it took to bake.... I think maybe 35 min? I dunno, it won't give in the middle when it's done. Use the fork test.

This was SO GOOD. Especially toasted, it even has that slightly gooey bit at the very top-center like a normal banana bread. I also put chocolate chips in one loaf, WHOO boy! Now THAT'S dessert.

My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase.

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
