    I don't use the lock feature either because I have the ICE app on my phone, which is completely useless if my phone is locked. I also believe that people shouldn't ask questions they don't want to know the answer to, which includes "how are you?" It shouldn't be expected of people to politely lie. I'm probably not exactly a favorite person in some circles...

    Forget that. The only way someone besides my husband would have my phone is if they stole it. I want them to be as uncomfortable as possible in that situation.

    You can't absorb it through your skin, so you need to just think about what you're comfortable with and the risk of it ending up in your mouth. I personally checked all hair care products because of the frequency with which it ends up in my eyes, if it's ending up in my eyes, it's probably ending up in my mouth. I don't wear makeup anymore, but if I did I...

    I haven't checked yet to see if I'm in an area where we'll have them. And no matter how much I b%$@# and complain that they didn't do thin mints (and I won't stop either until I get them without making them myself) I'll still buy the cookies when I see them. I won't even stop to think about it. Just bam, done, cookies. I mean, it's Girl Scout cookies! Even...

    I prefer geek to nerd. I'll go with a day pass if I can't get the free weekend pass. I'm not PAYING for that crap, the price is insane! I'll just go for the day Data is there because I have a serious geek girl crush. Have since I was a teenager. Almost as bad as my Patrick Stewart crush.

    I've been trolling the Salt Lake comic con facebook page all week. They're giving away a boatload of passes (entire weekend passes!) every week. So I will do anything I have to to get them free. I missed it last year, and this week has been... hell. I can't miss it this year. And omg Brent Spiner is gonna be there.

    You deserved to celebrate today! I have a cheese problem. (Like as in I'm an addict besides it not agreeing with me.) I do find though that I do much better with fried queso fresco than any other cheese, maybe that would suit you when you feel a little better Lisa? I just slice it up and fry it in a teensy bit of oil until it's crispy on the outside....

    It's very fertile here. It isn't like people want DIRT yards. Some people just want edible landscaping, or gardens in their front yards because they don't have a big enough back yard. Or zero-scaping because mowing is stupid. I don't know why the laws are what they are. I just know they're dumb. The city I live in is nicknamed orchard city because there are...

    I would make sure there isn't something that you always eat/drink in the morning that you don't at other times, or only sparingly at other times. I agree the most likely thing here is coffee, which is gluten free but simply is not gentle on your guts. If you can eliminate any such possibility and have reviewed kitchen habits like Colleen says, it may be time...

    omg I couldn't stop laughing. poop..... LOG *snicker* I'll take my 12 year old sense of humor and leave now.

    Send it here!!! We don't have nearly enough. We're going to have our third year with not enough snow, which will mean another bad fire season. We had some overnight. (I wasn't thrilled, had to drive home from some stupid sleep study, clean off my Jeep at 6:30 in the freakin morning. Is that even a time of day?) But it still just isn't enough. Overall for...

    If you're already itemizing and already making it to the medical deduction and are into keeping the records, it may be something that's for you. It isn't something that makes sense for most people, but for a few it can be worth it.

    I suggested either burgers or In N Out to my husband for dinner, by text, assuming he would understand one meant "cooking" (lol at indoor electric grill and frozen burgers) at home and one meant other people cooking me delicious food and fries and a shake. He texts me back to point out that In N Out is burgers. Someone just earned himself buying me dinner...

    It never occurred to me, having grown up in the town that Wise is based in, that they are a local company. Twice in Utah I have walked into Wal-Mart in the middle of the night and seen a pallet of their chips, squealed in joy and took off running. Everyone probably thought I was crazy, especially when I just started grabbing as much as I could carry... but...

    I don't have the stamina for shredding cheese, or the bank account for buying it shredded. So, I bought the shredder attachment for my KitchenAid. With the amount of cheese (and other shredded things) we go through in our house it has been well worth the investment. I shred a bunch at once and use corn starch to keep it from sticking to itself, but potato...

    Being able to vote things down is just vicious. It seems rude, confrontational and unproductive. I like the voting thing we have now.
  17. Adalaide
    I'm not against trying products that are "manufactured in" or even "manufactured on" under the right circumstances and with the right phone calls or emails. My sole red flag though, 100% of the time, are facilities that deal in wheat based flours. It lingers in the air and coats everything. Unless they're using a separate room with separate equipment, their...

    I feel so much better now!

    I use whatever lotion makes me happy at any given time. Usually I buy stuff on sale or that I have coupons for. I have found that if you call a company about the gluten free status of their products that they often offer to mail you coupons. I do use a lot of J&J baby products because they're reasonably priced, frequently on sale and coupons are abundant...

    I've always had good results calling about Kirkland products. I would just call the number on the bottle tomorrow and see what they say.

    I'm trying a new recipe tonight. Something my SIL (for some reason my favorite one, being one I've never met) shared on facebook. It didn't have a name, so I'm calling it Parmesan crusted chicken. It looks really good. I'm still debating whether I want risotto or something else with it. And I'm sure something vegetablish.

    Call them on it. Someone said their shaving cream was gluten free, I didn't believe it because it has oats, which is why I stopped using it. So I emailed them. Called them, twice. They said there are the lip balms and hand lotions, which they say are gluten free. And then there are the body lotion and shaving cream which don't say it. I don't know why they...

    Where I grew up going to Target is not necessarily always an option, it's only been there a few years and it's a long drive. If you don't have one you can get to Vick's Nature Fusion is gluten free also.
  24. Adalaide
    Yes, all of their products are gluten free. I've used every flavor of lip balm they offer without issue.
  25. Adalaide
    This amused me before I was headed to bed tonight so I thought I'd share.
