  1. Connery! I also loved the puzzle picture of him in a kilt that was provided while the boards were down. :p
  2. Other - we don't eat fast food and the few times we've had to stop somewhere like that, chick fil a has been our only option due to dietary restrictions.
  3. I've always just put some drops of essential oils in and it works quite well. No one has ever been bothered by the smell unless it's straight vinegar. The infusion idea of citrus or cloves is a good one. I should try that soon.
  4. http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2002231142_brodeur05m.html Mike McCready from Pearl Jam talks about living with Crohn's and using the SCD. Maybe it would help your little knowing there are others out there dealing with this.
  5. Wonder what his boss, who is from the inferior branch of service, would think of this? Yeah, this guy has small bits.
  6. I've had this on my list and keep meaning to order it. Thanks for the reminder!
  7. Somewhere around 7 is usually good for me.
  8. My aunt used to always bring something called wild rice rose to Thanksgiving. It was white rice, wild rice, canned mushroom soup, velveeta, olives, onions, and tomato. I shudder just thinking about it now.
  9. Yes, thank you! There is so much work that goes into a platform change. There are always kinks to be worked out, but we will get there in time. Several of the new features are very nice and I can't wait to see everything available when you're done with the change over. It takes time to get used to something new, but my hope is that everyone will come to enjoy the "new" board.
  10. Thanks for the tip! I've wanted a digital backup. And now, this is the right price.
  11. No, we always have it at our home. I'm lucky that my MIL agreed that children should wake up in the own home on Christmas morning. So, she's always come to us to watch the kids unwrap their loot.
  12. Reluctantly, yes. We had not intended to, but DS is sick. I guess that means I'll get more cleaning done.
  13. First of all, :grouphug: I have a family member with Crohn's and it has been really tough, but there is help out there. You are absolutely right that diet plays a key role in dealing with this. I recommend the following books: Breaking the Vicious Cycle and Gut and Psychology Syndrome. Don't let the title of the latter one throw you. It is very good information on diet relating to any inflammatory or auto-immune condition. It's a long read, but tons of great info in there. As a parent, the meds would be a very tough call. I understand where the Dr. is coming from. Inflammatory conditions can be worse it kids due to the constant changing nature of the body. Those meds are life savers for some, but they do come with side effects. Do as much research as you can before you make a decision. Although, if meds are needed, don't be afraid to reach out the the Dr. for help. If it were me, I think I would try the diet first. And I mean go at it full force. Read all the books, medical studies, and other info available. Then buy whatever kitchen supplies you need to get started. For example - you might need a dehydrator, crock pot, pickl-it jars, or juicer. It will take planning, time, and work.....but I don't think you'll really be able to tell if diet can help unless you do it to the full extent.

  14. Vegsource: there's a flashback! I don't go there anymore and not sure many others do either. It seems to have really slowed in the last few years.
  15. :laugh: If anyone finds a quick fix, I'd love to know. Sadly, I just end up with the chisel method. :glare:
  16. :iagree: Thanks for all your hard work!
  17. How am I supposed to keep this and Facebook apart now? Oh, the confusion! :tongue_smilie:
