I like the fake stuff too, but I'm still curious. I'd buy that real
wasabi at least once, even at $119/lbs.

WTF kind of logic/fact is that? You somehow equate "Gluten Free"
with chemical-free, additive free, all-natural, and imply that if
its doesn't say "gluten free" that they're mis-labeling their
products and hiding ingredients!?!?
 
You're a Grade A USDA Prime Gluten-Free Nutcase. now you're making
your own signature gluten-free science based on the voices echoing
around in your head. You need an exorcism.

I looked again and around the top it does say,
"Gluten Free All Natural Ingredients Kosher"

> Beside I just like a good Dijon that is gluten free
 
I've got store-brand Horseradish Mustard too. That's good.
Don't know if it's gluten free but I don't care either.

The battery operated are good for about 10 hours. With no power you
cannot recharge the battery then you are SOL. Same with oxygen
machines. We have a battery one but the same potential problem. I also
have portable tanks and can get 24 hours total out of the three of them
but in an extended outage, you still need power to fill them to 3000
psi, about a 2 hour process. At $300 a tank I'm not inclined to buy more
tanks when I can get a generator for $500 to do it all.
 
===
 
My nebuliser works off both, but I can't remember having to use it on
just battery very often.

We had a portable generator. One winter while he was out of town we
had an ice storm. I had to get the neighbor over to start the genny.
Next year we put in the automatic.

I live in a garage with no basement but it is climate controlled so I
can grind meat any time of the day. Instead of an ice box, we got one
of those electric refrigerators that keeps the same cold temperature too.

I don't believe that I've ever been in a basement. From what I've seen in the movies, only bad stuff happens in basement. That's probably why we don't have any ovahea.

And if the government got involved in restricting what John can say

Then you'd be wrong. This was my hematologist. The reason she gave was that
exercise will not make you lose weight. I skimmed right over that and said
that I was getting older and wanted to maintain muscle mass. This Dr. also
claimed that I had a lump in my armpit but added that it might just be a
muscle or tendon. I told her it may well be because I exercise a lot. That's
when she told me not to do it.
 
She's young and seems to care more about emotional things than anything
else. She was upset that I was not upset over the lump. I wasn't upset
because there was no lump! I have no clue what she thought she felt but I
can tell you that it was a big waste of a lot of people's time to do the
emergency mammogram and ultrasound.
 
My Endo told me to stop some years back as it was raising my blood sugar and
I never got the drop that is supposed to happen. It just kept going up. For
whatever reason, that is no longer happening. I am not a person who likes to
sit around all day. Just makes it hard being disabled. I have to be careful
what I do and pace myself.

I did not listen to her. I do exercise. I can't run. I can barely walk. I do
dance. Not like I used to, but I do what I can. I also use weights.
 
I don't take in a lot of calories.
 
When my thyroid was out of whack, I could gain or lose without doing a
thing. Prior to that, the only way I lost was to take in no more than 1,000
calories a day and exercise to the point of exhaustion/injury. It just was
not worth it. Yes, I lost weight but I was constantly hungry and miserable.
I would have to go to bed and try to sleep so I wouldn't notice the hunger
pains. That's no way to live.
 
Now I am rarely ever hungry and overall, food just doesn't appeal. I still
like to cook. I don't like to eat.

Since I got older, I am like that too! I love to cook and fortunately
for me, D. loves my cooking, but I eat very little:)

I bought a teriyaki burger from Jack-in-the-Box for $1.99, then I took it home and put some kim chee on it. It was tasty but maybe not tasty enough. Maybe I should have put Spam and kim chee in it. OTOH Spam might be made from fatty liver. :)

If you didn't keep it off, it was moot.
 
I lost 30 pounds too. I managed to keep it off for a year but I grew tired
of being hungry all the time and eating mostly salad. Amazing how fast the
weight flies back on!

When I was a kid., I would flash freeze canned pineapple and chill the
juice. When frozen, I would put them in the blender and whiz them up with
some of the juice. I made it thick to eat with a spoon but you could add
more juice and turn it into a drink.

Why are you always capitalizing the words MONEY and CASH? That

You seem so dissociated with your own actions in relation to reality
that crystal meth is either the cause or the solution to all that
ails you. Screw that CBD Cuppa Plus Sinequan therapy you've been
thinking is making your normal. Its making you nuts.
 
Relevant Inane Atheist Religious Anecdote:
 
I was looking through my 3 "briefcases" of cassette tape albums
earlier today in consideration of trash day tomorrow, and between
Permanant Waves and Moving Pictures I found a small (very small)
ziplock baggie of white stuff. It glistened at angles unlike
cocaine (coke glistens like large, slightly iridescent snowflakes,
meth more like quartz in different stages of crushedness). A few
hours later my curiosity was peaked and I dumped out on my messy
desk for closer superficial inspection (OK, so that's an oxymoron).
 
Then I reached for my small flashlight to shine at it and two things
happened in that same exact split second:
 
I spilled a large glass with a small amount of water directly onto
the pile of white stuff and the electricity went out in the whole
neighborhood (898 homes).
 
What are the chances that I would spill water on a small pile (1/8th
gram) of white stuff while reaching for a flashlight in a fully lit
den just as we have our first power outage in 8 years? No rain, no
snow, no wind, no nothing - we have all underground utilities.
 
I turned on the flashlight on looked at the "damage". It's just as
I suspected - a Perfect Bullseye. So still curious (but pretty
sure) I stirred the little puddle of cloudy water with my forefinger
and tasted it. Sheeeeit. Epiphany Time. I seriously contemplated
Divine Intervention, my 37 years of Devout Atheism, and the
possibility that I would need to rethink my stance on Life, The
Universe, And Everything. It seemed like an hour (but was probably
about 6 seconds) and I came to one conclusion:
 
I stuck my face down into that puddle of water on my desk and had a
Slurpee! While wondering, "I don't think this is what Janet had in
mind when she said she was addicted to Slurpees a few hours ago".
 
Divine Intervention, Pbbbt. My ass. [as Jim Carey yells into the sky
at Ed Harris from his capsized sailboat] "Is that all you got!?!?".
 
Great, and I just drank 10 "cups of coffee" (Which is 10X more than
I've had in the previous 18 years since) and I have no electricity
for the next two hours... Duh. WTF do I do now? I can't wash the
ceilings, I can't pull up all the carpet ion the house, and I don't
have any fingernails worth biting. Or toenails. Maybe I should
have considered more than just Divine Intervention, eh?
 
EOT
 
And yes, I understand half may read this and go, "WTF?!?!?" While
the other half will find it amusing. And the third half will be
undecided. I write like this about other subjects not so much here
(once a year), but in another forum more often and get the same
reactions. And when I'm not "influenced" (I'm not really now eitehr,
I didn't even get out of bed until 3:PM due to my severe carpal
tunnel pain last night). But this anecdote may be a little harder
to relate to than most. I can at least look back at my past
drug/alcohol use and kinda laugh at myself. It's part of the
"healing".
 
ObFood: How about a smoked tri-tip sandwich with swiss, ahmahdo
(sp?) cheese from Spain (a sharp smoked sheep/goat), garlic-salted
beefsteak tomato, fresh grated and fixed horseradish, and mayo on
grilled rosemary sourdough bread. I smoked a tri-tip and a pichana
yesterday and didn't cut into them until today. It was heavenly.
So I made another one, this one is smoked pichana with provolone and
used Woebers instead of fresh garated horseradish.

There's something seriously wrong with the cost of healthcare in America. Inexplicably, Americans don't see that there's a problem.

I just us Samsung Notes for the list, not a dedicate program. It is
just a simple list
Bread
Milk
Eggs

What I like about mine, is that it keep a list of things I have bought.
It can be helpful (at my age *cough*) to look down the list and see if I
need anything on it:)) That is the problem with my new phone! I can
enter a list but it doesn't keep the previous ones. I am sure you have pity

I had no choice. I was given Latin for two years. Spanish would have
been my choice and useful over the years. My grades were too good for
either French or Spanish.

At least you had a choice! Our was Latin! Period!
