    Re: Things that make you smile

    I've never heard of 'Too Cute' but I hope I can see it somehow. It sounds right up my ally too!

    I'm smiling because it's my friend's birthday and she's coming over to visit us in an hour's time. She's been through absolute hell this year. I mean, serious life shattering stuff that I know I'd never be able to live through, especially with such grace and strength. She said all she wants for her birthday is some kind of skin product because she's got such terrible low self esteem and wants to feel pretty again. So JP and I clubbed together and got her a Boots No7 gift set. I don't know if you folk in the states know this range, but it's pretty expensive top end stuff. The set is on offer right now, but full price would have been 105 pounds!

    I hope it cheers her up. If not, I have a plan B. I'm going to show her Ken Tanaka youtube videos. She loves Borat, so I think she'll find this guy as funny as I do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_RM8To5mjU (if you've ever spent time around Japanese people, this should hit your funny nerve, it's sooo true ^^) or my absolute favourite... learn Japanese abreviations with Ken and Remi.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDNtzMUy4vs I could watch this guy for hours!

            Yes they are! I was seriously more excited than I think I should have been when I saw this at the store yesterday.

              Thinking about going to college makes me smile. I can't wait!

                This makes me smile. Just something about the way you said it makes me laugh.

                  Re: Things that make you smile

                  because they are rice, right? I don't like them myself...but I love rice crispies, so that gives me hope.

                  I'm trying the gluten free thing b/c of the effing mystery immune system/allergies/asthma issues that I've had for the past year. I've ruled out dairy as an issue (and TFG, I love ice cream, yogurt and egg nog), so now I'm on to gluten...I hope there's no difference (and I haven't noticed one yet) because I'll miss barley and oatmeal.

                    I thought I was gluten intolerant for the longest time, but it turns out it's just wheat. Which is good, cuz I have an undying love of porridge.

                      I just figured they weren't because lots of rice cereals like Rice Crispies contain barley in the form of malt. That's the real issue with eating gluten-free: you have to learn all of the derivatives that are gluten. They've even renamed MSG to something like hydrolyzed yeast extract or something like that. Oats, though, are technically ok though usually have issues with gluten because they're processed usually with wheat.

                      Man, maybe I need to start a gluten-free thread.

                        I thought we already had one. Maybe that was the old forum. IDK, but I think that's an excellent idea!

                        I found this topic: http://www.paganforum.com/showthread...ht=gluten+free but it's locked. I can always re-open it, unless you think we should just start fresh? (no pun intended)

                          Hmmm, I'm not sure. I guess it depends on whether we want it solely gluten-free or if we want to include other ____-free stuff.

                                That can get complicated, because there's so much. Also, as someone who is part of the other -free (mostly soy and legumes) stuff, sometimes I feel that gluten-free sort of overshadows other allergies....most of them aren't so hard, but with soy you also have to learn all sorts of derivatives. They call soy all sorts of fun names.

                                Edit: I almost forgot why I came to this thread in the first place. I'm in love, it's sunny out, and it's getting closer to Christmas! Yay!

                                You might want to consider soy as well. It's one of the most common allergies, and tends to give off more typical "allergy" symptoms, whereas gluten tends to be more intolerance (digestive) or celiac.
