. . . he looks great . . . how could anyone throw him out!!!

Another heeeeelarryus piece of this tale. .. ....

From where did he come?

Was he modeling male wigs? Neckties?

For what reason was he disposed of? He no longer had the "look"?

I must uncover more information: exactly what other businesses are in this building .. . ..

Maybe Will has had him in his office all this time. Just as a friend, to bounce ideas off.....

:lol::lol:

Speaking of guys' names..........

In this school system I have heard of some.....er.........rather unique names.......

The pronunciations of two names in particular are strange enough....

Dee-OH-gee (sounds Hispanic)

Shi-THEED (Middle-eastern, maybe?)

If you haven't figured out already, they are spelled...

DOG

Could prop him on one's treadmill .. . . rather like a coxswain, ordering one forward. . . . .

*snort*

I do love the word coxswain

From where did he come?

Was he modeling male wigs? Neckties?

For what reason was he disposed of? He no longer had the "look"?

:lol: Oh, the musing's of Em's Mad Mind

Um.......you know, he does have a rather odd, twisted look about his pose, note how hard his neck is straining rather backwards. Was he perhaps a whiplash victim? Suffered an untoward fate and was discarded?

oh yes, Em, you MUST get to the bottom of this. Please go, take him with you, and question EVERY SINGLE PERSON in Will's building :lol:

Sh!thead

I am in total agreement here. Just love the name Smythe, esp. now since I know how posh it is. Was thinking of using it (Smythe) as Weezee's last name on her phacebook page :lol:

in other news..........

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must tell you of my complete irritation with some people going on marijuana cleanup trip this week (I am not going)

They wrote in their fool intolerances - one is gluten-intolerant, and one cannot eat soy. Several vegetarians (is is Santa Cruz area, after all :lol: )

Now, of COURSE you now that I TOTALLY know how to handle this but.......I looked at Shane and said.....I just can't IMAGINE, writing to an organization that prepares food en masse, going on my first trip with said organization, and expecting that they even KNOW WHAT IN HELL GLUTEN IS????????????? :huh: Shane and the other cooks had never HEARD of gluten until I came along.

and SOY? mygawd, there's soy in.......our pancake batter, the margarine, the salad dressings, all the condiments, the cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter, the cheese ravioli, probably even the hamburger patties from SAm's Club, the pre-made ready-to-bake cookies.......what am I missing? Sheesh, there's soy in EVERYTHING, right? She has to live on chicken breasts and cheese and veggies the whole weekend? ( I told Shane to call her)

So - these people just casually email that they can't eat these things, when there's a crowd of 40 to feed over three days................ :blink:

so - I called the celiac and spoke to her myself - - told her she REALLY should bring enough food to cover herself in case she can't eat anything (I could not eat a single thing on the menu except eggs and cottage cheese, but she's also DAIRY-intolerant) and she'd be reimbursed.

the noive. :lol:

I rather fancy that he is looking over his shoulder........a guilty conscience?.......a rogue of sorts?

What if bad luck has befallen the last owner......and all owners before........each one trying to rid themselves of the spell..........but, as always, he is found again...........and the curse continues...... :ph34r:

Maybe he's the guy with the lighter.......Chet.........poor guy.......that's all that's left of him :o

Aargh double . . .. .dunno if it's too many electronics or what but connectivity too too spotty & intermittent in the ASIC lab.

[bonus question!!! Who knows - w/out looking it up ya cheater - what ASIC means in the chip world?]

OK then . ...anyone know if there's a nice Urban Dictionary-type word for the forced immediate viewing of TIVO'd/DVR'd recordings when it's 100% full & nothing's just "eh" deleteable, but space MUST be made for recording shows that will air while out, say, at work?

I HAD to - HAD TO - watch 2 hrs worth today tho didn't really have time for it!!!!!!!!! :lol:

I feel only partly close to generating a suitable term for this phenomenon :(

Morning, Psillies!

OMG, Nik. . . . . ...I have a pair of Asics runners meself. . . ....and neither of us are a part of the Chip World of which Ptaoughmghmnuss speaks. .. ... . ...

Or ARE we?? :unsure:

Incidentally, I believe this would be yet another terrific moniker for the Man-head.

ASIC.

:lol:

Sounds rather Northern European . . .....Slavic or Russian . . .. ...must examine face and see if there are any signs of this heritage.

Hmmmm.... .. Leeeesa, you may be onto something... . ...a curse.... . .a Russian hex... .. .

He does have his head in a somewhat awkward position - - not so much looking over his shoulder as drawing back, perhaps to avoid a blow or acrid smell. . . ......

His strange, Mona-Lisa type smile must be a clue. Somewhat smirkish. . . . maybe a bit of a leer. . ..... .

So phunny. . . . Will put the Head on one of our dining room chairs, and every time I walk by it this morning I jump, adrenline surging. . . . . ... :lol:

Mornin sillies B)

A fond Veterans Day and Remembrance Day to all :)

Pataghumn--oh how I wish we lived closer together!! I love rearranging furniture, setting up kitchens, phiguring out how to "balance" a room, etc. We've owned 9 different houses to date with the same core group of furnishings, kitchen stuff, Mark's tatt, etc.

It's always a challenge to make it all jive with a different conphiguration, but I love it! :D Yep--I could hook you right up :lol:

Welcome home, Amanda. :) I trust all is going well wif yer dad's recovery? Take some time now to settle back in and breath a bit ;)

On a nuther note--I had another dream that contained several sillies. I was moving again, it gets jumbled up after that, but this seems to be a reoccuring theme wif me as of late. :P

Ok--got nuthin else......pellet stove on the blink already <_< They are sending someone out--possibly as soon as this afternoon. No way I'm turning on that damn oil firnace--it's the principle of the thing! :lol:

Funny. NPR just did a piece on lower gas prices and mentioned that the drop in price has not increased consumption. It's people like you who refuse to overuse our limited resources that are keeping the economy in the dumps. Do you really want to put 'saving money' ahead of 'oil company profits'? Think about it. 'm sure you'll come up with the right answer. :P

Perfect Man, Perfect Woman

Random joke:

There was a perfect man and a perfect woman. They met each other at a perfect party. They dated for two perfect years. They had the perfect wedding and the perfect honeymoon. They had two perfect children.

One day the perfect man and the perfect woman were driving in there perfect car, they saw an elf by the side of the road, being the perfect people they were they picked him up.

Well as the perfect man and the perfect woman were driving with the elf, somehow they got into an accident. Two people died and one lived.

Who died and who lived?

The perfect woman, because the perfect man and elves aren't real.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      By julie falco · Posted

      BRAND NAME: NOT BURGER PLANT-BASED PATTIES  A product I came across labeled gluten-free bought it when I got home I read the back ingredients further to notice that it says gluten with a line going through it u will see in the attached pics.     The label says down below that it is processed in a facility that also processes "WHEAT".  I tried to put this on the Gov. website as false advertisement but couldn't do it.  Maybe on here at least the word can get out to others not to purchase anything gluten-free without throughly reading the whole label....It won't let me upload 2 pics.  says to contact manager.   The products name is Not Burger    INGREDIENTS: Water, Pea Protein, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Bamboo Fiber, Less than 2% of: Methylcellulose, Dried Yeast, Rice Protein, Salt, Cocoa Powder Processed with Alkali, Psyllium Husk, Potato Fiber, Red Beet Juice Powder (color), Chia Protein Concentrate, Spinach Powder.   Manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat and soy.          MANUFACTURED FOR: The NotCompany, Inc, 438    Treat Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94110.

      I think a UTI caused by Aspirin, made me a Celiac

      By jimmydee · Posted

      Let me start by saying that I am self- diagnosed Celiac. I didn't want to pay for tests, because I don't have health insurance and the doctor said I would HAVE to eat gluten for the tests and I am afraid it will kill me. I diagnosed myself by quitting dairy, sugar and gluten for a couple weeks and figured out the problem by process of elimination.  ANYWAYS.......here's why I blame "Aspirin low dose safety coated" for my Celiac Disease.  I started taking regular Aspirin for a couple weeks for back pain and decided to switch to low dose safety coated Aspirin because I thought a smaller dose was safer for regular use. Well about 3 days after starting low dose safety coated aspirin, I got a terrible UTI. I didn't know what to do (should have gone to doctor) I started taking cranberry pills and read Aspirin can cause UTIs, so stopped taking that. A week later, the UTI was getting worse but then my Dad gave me some probiotic pills and the next day I felt better, so I took those for a week and the UTI was gone. About a week later, I bought my family cake and pizza for a birthday party. I ate a whole bunch and there was some leftover the next day, so I ate a bunch again. Welp, that was my first Gluten attack. I was home alone and almost called an ambulance, my stomach was so full of gas I couldn't breathe, I was covered in sweat and thought I was having a heart attack.  Since quitting Gluten I haven't had the "gas attacks" or had the awful constipation that lasts 3 days. So I'm certain I'm Celiac and I absolutely blame low dose safety coated Aspirin, I think it's the time release binder that is the problem, because I was fine with regular aspirin, I was just breaking those into halves or quarters. Actually now that I think about it I may have even used the regular aspirin at other times in my life before that, just not the little low dose safety coated Aspirin, that's what I think caused it. What's weird is my Dad took the low dose safety coated Aspirin for years and years, for it's reported heart benefits, and he never got Celiac.  Anyways, I felt this was important to share, so they can find the cause of this disease, which seems to be affecting more people than ever before. At least Gluten Free Pizza exists, that's been my new staple food in my diet.

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian, We need more information, please.   What homeopathic remedies or medications are you taking now?  Do you still have the blood pressure and other symptoms?  What is included in your diet currently?  Dairy? Oats?  Processed gluten free foods?  Vegetarian?  Other food allergies?  Do you take vitamins?  When gluten is removed from the diet, the body stops making the anti-gluten antibodies that are usually measured in blood tests used to diagnose Celiac disease.  To measure the anti-gluten antibodies, you would have to consume 10 grams of gluten (4-6 slices of bread or equivalent) per day for a minimum of 2 weeks or longer.   A DNA test which looks for the most common genes for Celiac Disease may be a less invasive avenue to pursue.  Has your doctor checked you for nutritional deficiencies? Glad you're here!

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins lost in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.  P.S. I wanted to reiterate that insomnia and weight loss are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses are needed to correct thiamine deficiency. All mitochondria in cells utilize thiamine.  The World Health Organization says to take 500 - 1000 mg per day of thiamine and look for health improvement.  Diets that are high in carbohydrates like rice and gluten require more thiamine.  For every 1000 calories from carbohydrates, we need 500 mg more thiamine.  Thiamine is found in meat.  Few veggies contain thiamine. Can you rise from a squat without assistance?  This is the field test for thiamine deficiency used by WHO.  If you cannot rise easily from a squat you may be thiamine deficient.

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.
