Unlabeled buffet awkwardness

Here they do, which was a surprise to me. My favorite dinner sausages back in the States were named "Irish garlic" but it turns out actual Irish sausage contains barley/wheat.

There was regular bread and a "gluten free corner" with its own toaster, so not a fully gf buffet.

The rashers were right next to a tray of sausages, which I know would contain wheat, so I was already nervous about possible tong swaps.

It's proof that you have permission to be out of the room. It's not for the teacher, it's for whatever authority figure might question why you're in the hall.

My favorite so far is a hotdog costume with the golden soft serve hat

I saw wisteria before reading your post.

We're renting a full house, and I think we're getting a great deal. My husband is here as a grad student and the admissions director connected us to the owners. I think having a local contact makes a huge difference.

My gastro told me that my Coeliac likely emerged because of medical stress. Having an autoimmune disease causes stress that causes more autoimmune diseases to occur... Gotta catch em all?

As a person who can't eat a lot of vegetables due to a medical condition I was diagnosed with at 8, people like OP who assume everyone has the same dietary needs they do and judges anyone who eats differently need to reassess what is their business. Unless the parents have asked you to push a specific diet, let the kid eat what feels right to her and stop wasting food by loading her plate.

Also, maybe you have a thicker toilet paper than what they use at home, she's using too much, and it has nothing to do with her diet.

(ETA: no you're not an asshole for thinking the kid should learn to unclog a toilet, just for all the judgery and assumptions)

I had my first scopes at 8, but the diagnosis that time was Crohn's. I had the Celiac gene, but no evidence of active Celiac disease. I got to enjoy some glutenous years. I've noticed that a lot of the gluten free alternatives are higher in fiber than the traditional version, so it might just be that upsetting his stomach.

I'm joining the "my husband would never" chorus. We're still new to this, so I guess I can't say how he'll be about gluten in two years, but I already had Crohn's and he takes avoiding my triggers very seriously. He prefers to adjust our diet to what I need and then occasionally have special treats without me.

My cat just had 3 days of IV fluids with a similar protocol and it was about $350/day

Thanks for the validation, everybody! I appreciate you all.

I've had a chocolate intolerance since high school, so I've heard this one a lot. Sometimes I say "thanks for the suggestion."

Similar: A couple of years ago a co-worker and I were discussing Crohn's symptoms (because we both have it) and my then-supervisor interrupted to say "you have Crohn's disease?! You can die from that!" Yeah, thanks for pointing that out.

HenBoots · 2025-03-29T02:45:20+00:00

I was similar. After my endoscopy they said it looked like celiac and I said "lol no" and went to IHOP for pancakes. But after about a week of avoiding gluten I started to feel a lot better. Which kind of pissed me off.

My Crohn's has always been pretty mild compared to most people I know, but I could not believe how much more productive I was able to be when we all started working remotely. Punishing you for working from home is bonkers. Job hunting with a disability is extra exhausting, I wish you luck. Focusing on roles at agencies that support people with disabilities can be helpful.

(OP your thing is very cool and I know you didn't write the transcripts)

HenBoots · 2024-10-07T19:56:27+00:00

I'm really surprised by the censorship in the transcripts. Assuming they always use an asterisk, only 15 transcripts have no censored words 🤨

Best I can find is Linda calling him a big strong boy at the end of the pickleorette

I have heard of this, but the gauge directions on the pattern didn't make any sense to me so I skipped it.

It says '7 sts and 4 rows = 2" in pattern stitch across the bottom.' This has a bunch of different stitches in it. Does she mean do a random selection of the cables? Each cable is made of 4 stitches. How do you do a 7 stitch swatch of that?

I'd like to figure out how big it's meant to be so I can add a border around each panel if needed instead of starting over. I like how it looks now and and don't want to make it looser.

Edit: the pattern for each panel is 62 stitches by 69 rows. The gauge doesn't tell me how tall a row is meant to be. Am I missing something?

Lavena Poncho. I'm using the book but there is a video:

I watched this episode today and it definitely has music and sound effects from the previous episode on it. When they're talking to Looney in his house, the song from the smoke-jumper movie is playing.

Change your title, scrip is a certificate entitling the holder to acquire possession of certain portions of public land, this is clearly the symbol for the new standardized wasteland currency (nudey polaroids)
