    ...patience. For a couple years I had to deal with a couple who always argued loudly. One small bathoom for 5 people (which it seemed someone was always taking a long shower in when I needed it) A kitchen that was often a disaster zone (infested with ants during the summer). A loud yappy little ankle biter that wouldn't shut up when the other people were gone. Very glad to be out of that place.

    Yeah, yappy ankle biters are bad news.  And I bet they had a dog too.

    Here's a picture of the item I missed at the on-line auction a day or so ago.  Beautiful Lapis lazuli and amethyst parrot.  4 and a half inches high.  Sigh, he would have looked wonderful on my treasure shelf.

    ...they actually did, a female pitbull who was one of the sweetest dogs I ever met. If anything she would drown you with her tongue.

    ever hear of agrimony?
    Agrimony
    Dispels gas, diarrhea, mucous, colitis, incontinence and is generally healing for body’s membranes.   Use 1/2 capful from the extract bottle for 500 ml water.

     

    i never tried cooking with rice flour.  dunno know which rice flour is best.
    would like to try tempura sweet potato with rice flour.
    i heard tempura is flash fry in animal fat.  cant do animal fat, too gross. dunno if olive oil would be good?

    you should never use alternative medicines when you are on a gp prescribed medications set up.  Some alterenative medicines do not agree at all with prescribed medications. That is particularly pertinent to those taking diabetic medications and thinking of trying Agrimony.   https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-604/agrimony

    As a diabetic you should try and avoid cereal and grain flours and instead use nut flours like coconut and almond, which are carbohydrate neutral.  Mind you you have to study up to get used to using them, cocnut flour in particular as it soaks up loads of liquid, so you use a lot less flour in your recipe.

     

    coconut not a laxative?

    i'm more worried about laxative foods,
    as mush as any medication that says 'reduced vision',
    'retain fluid', infections of any kind, weight gain, 

    You should not worry about potential side effects and let it stop you taking any prescribed medications.  Yes lists of possible and potential side effects are given, but the percentage of people they affect is usually very small. as long as you keep to the correct routines with your meds and don't mix them with alternative meds without checking with a qualified doctor.  As I said Agrimony is particularly worrying when a person is taking precribed diabetic medications.  Instead of driving yourslef balmy checking possible side effects you woul;d be better checking for the things that react with your medications.  And they can be surprising.  Himself was taking 7 or 8 different medications, and it took a while to balance the meds and doses. He had meds for blood pressure, meds to calm his heart, meds to help control the AFib, also took a statin and a blood thinner.  However some of his meds reacted with things which are normal foods.  He had to avoid grapefruit and cranberries altogether,  was told off for washing pills down with fruit juice, should only be water as the juice can react when used in that manner.  Also he had to go easy on some veg which are always stated to be very good for you, such as broccoli. He could have small amounts but not too much. Alcohol could actually make some of his drugs more potent, which is obviously not good.

     

    i'm complaining about the literal 'life not worth living' side effects.

    ..nice choice on the Highland Park.  Would never waste money on a blend though.  I currently have a bottle of Ardbeg in the cabinet which is a nice peaty Scots whiskey.  Yummy..

    I am becoming allergic to wheat.  The bleached flour is the worst.  It gives me kankles.  I still have lots of swelling on a regular basis.  I drink coffee instead of taking loads of water pills.  My crazy med adds a little to the swelling but that I have to take and its already the one that cause the least problems with water retention.  I have some coconut flour and I might try it in a few simple recipes.  I do want a nice spritz cookie and it would be great if I could have those without wheat.  I should go back on a low carb diet and see how much I can reduce the swelling without wheat and grains.  I have everything to make my chocolate flavored fat.  Its a blend of cream cheese, sour cream, unsweetened chocolate, and liquid sucralose EZ Sweets.  It and extra sharp cheddar are my diet snack food.  I stayed on a low carb diet and lost 100 pounds, over the years I found it again.  Now I want to diet off 10 pounds at a time like a skinny person. You know take a break and eat normal for a week in between 10 pounds.  That is what I am doing today, cooking up the choco fat and making a trip trip to the grocery store for a block of cheddar, broccoli flourettes, and turkey patties.  Tomarrow I'll start a modified fat fast to see how much being grain free and low carb can reduce the swelling.

    "Kankles"?  -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kankl%C4%97s

    Cankles: unusally thick or swollen ankles.

    Non-complaint:  Mini-adventure. Yay!  I finally went to the National Comedy Center here in Jamestown, NY.  All the hub-bub from its grand opening is over and there are no crowds on a Thursday afternoon.  My opinion?  For that type of museum it's pretty good.  Lots of video playing in kiosks and booths and on the walls.  Lots of displays of TV scripts, comedian's notes, costumes & clothes of comedians.  Displays of newspaper cartoonist's works.  They had Lucille Ball's polka dot dress.  Red Skelton's "Klem Kadiddlehopper" costume. Jack Benny's tuxedo, Carl Reiner's wig, Johnathan Winters' old lady (Maude Frickert) costume & wig, Jerry Seinfeld's puffy shirt, and several more, but whose names have evaporated from my brain.  A whole section devoted to George Carlin.  And there's even a special room in the basement where all the risque jokes are.  The museum is high tech and there's a lot of visitor participation possible if you take advantage of all the show booths and sit-down video terminals.  I mostly just wandered and watched other people play with the gadgets.

    Complaint:  I went to the national Comedy Center and saw Jack Benny's tuxedo and when I got home and went grocery shopping I mentioned it to the cashier lady (a natural born American and no spring chicken herself), she had no idea who Jack Benny was.  Damn, I'm only 70, are he and I THAT dated? crying

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 42,407

  • XyetztXyetzt Posts: 27,546

    I think those two people over there look like the District Manager and I think ceo of the place I work at.  Wait I think they are those two people.

    I'm sure they were there but I don't specifically remember seeing anything about them on one of the videos.  The videos change spontaneously or by direction of one of the visitors.  Probably if I'd sat down and requested something of theirs it would have been shown on the screen.

    Rodney Dangerfield's necktie was there. surprise  As was a crazy dress belonging to Phyllis Diller.

    ...the Burns and Allen show was around when I was very young.

    Do remember the Jack Benny Show, as well as the Ernie Kovacs show on ABC.

    My favorite Ernie Kovacs quotation is when describing something interesting while in his hillbilly persona.  "Slicker'n snot on a doorknob".  Or a request to reconsider a recent action or statement, "Just a pea-pickin' minute!"

    Another item in the museum was Dan Ackroyd's Harley Davidson motorcycle that he rode from Canada to NYC during his Saturday Night Live years.

    And a couple recognizable things of Joan Rivers'.

    And a Jerry Lewis jacket, and lots of other dusty museum fodder.

    Oh, and the original scroll of dirty phrases used by George Carlin that he used to read off on stage. laugh

    Yeah, Flip Wilson material was there, as was a female costume from Laugh-In.  And also there was Lilly Tomlin's "Telephone Lady" wig.

    And the three "Conehead" motorcycle helmets.

    ..ya know you're right.  Flip was the one who usually did the act on Laugh In but Sammy was one of the guests and did it.  Late night, old eyes and poor quality video (as well as it being tagged as "Flip Wilson")
