Oh good, I was going ‘crap, right that’s it. No more wheaty crap in the house at all!’.

It’s not an allergy, it’s an auto-immune disease. But you’re right small amounts can cause issues - although I’ve never heard of problems from touching pasta before.

Actually, it’s supposed to have a similiar effect. I am NOT sensitive enough to get sick from a stray crumb, but apparently it could still damage my intestines. If I’m eating out, which I don’t often, I accept there’s gonna be some cross-contamination since they’d have to a whole other station to avoid it probably.…

I was talking to a friend today, and I think Laverne Cox would have been a better choice. She’s high profile, she’s an activist, she actually DOES things to make the world better, rather than potentially making the world a better place by transitioning whilst famous.

I looked it up last night, and I thought it was the other way around. Klausner asked Pauley if she was going to steal a dog and hide it in her dress (and if she was drunk). Then Pauley complained about her and Klausner was asked to leave. And thus the undying enmity was born.

i am not an early morning. While not on birth control, the pills I do take... Well, it is a case of no glasses yet, lights not on yet, just grab whatever I am taking and swig them down with orange juice. I doubt I would notice colour unless it was polka dots.

Car accidents happen even when cars are fault free, but people still sue when a manufacturing problem causes the accident. The company made a promise - sorta - to these women, it failed to uphold its end of the deal, now it should have to pay.

It is weird. Why reboot a franchise when the most significant thing about the franchise is elided? They could have still used social media in a clever way that left Jerrica her agency in pursuing fame and using her persona. Instead they ended up with something that’s pretty generic looking?

I’m actually Irish Protestant, so god knows where my family gets it from. It turned out I don’t have a maternal bone in my body, but if I’d ever decided to parent it would have been adoption or fostering. The world doesn’t need MY aggressively weird genes. (Three members of my family have gotten the attention of…

Yeah, his allergies made sticking to Kosher easier (except for bacon, he did find that hard to resist!).Our friends used to joke that if we’d ever had kids they would have just thrown the kid in a bubble right off the bat.

No! It happens, I knew someone who was allergic to chicken (and nuts, and dairy, and had a religious aversion to pork and shellfish. When he went to eat with my coealic free self, we tipped extra from pity!). He wasn’t allergic to turkey for some reason.

Yeah, she wasn’t one of the girls that came forward, but looking back it seems likely.

When I was 10, one of my classmates had a weird, pseudo-sex thing where she’d charge a boy 20p and then have fake-sex with him in the cloakroom. (I mean, we had to walk through the cloakroom to get to class. It was clothed humping and stuff). Everyone in the school around our age knew about it. If it had been today…

That’s the one *nods*. I’ve not heard of the other case, hopefully the family’s case was thrown out!

Do you think she shredded it all herself? Can you imagine being the person hired to help this spiteful old lady* shred all that money?

There was a case in England recently where a woman disinherited one of her children. The daughter sued and the court decided that she had more need of the money than the other kids and resplit up the fortune. So apparently, what you actually want to do with your money isn’t that important.

I don’t think it’s a religion that would ever work for me - Heinlein didn’t respect Hubbard, how could I*? If I’d gone in in a better frame of mind - instead of being crabbily over-heated and tired - it might have been more convincing though. The woman auditing me was very good at the banter, keeping up this mix of…

I got...hell, I don’t know if I was audited or not? It was some weird intake interview, but they got the soupcans out and were diagnosing me with all these weird issues with my gran and everything. I was just sitting there, ‘well, a: stop talking about my dead gran, rat face and b: Look, the needle goes up if I…

I did think it was the most awesome thing ever :D

My friend did some work experience at Belfast Airport. She didn’t WANT to work at the airport, but her previously set up job had fallen through and she needed to do something for two weeks. So... Anyhow, during her last week there she comes across a large, older man yelling at the desk clerk because he missed his…
