Yes, it would be mean! I checked link out. Seems they use one of the artificial sweetners I can't have. I'm allergic to all of them except sucralose.."Splenda". Besides the various medical conditions I have I have food allergies (soybeans, MSG, peppers, and others), and chemical allergies..like allergic to some plastics! The kind of plastic that are put on shopping cart handles for one and "Bandaid" plastic. I have to use cloth bandaids.

Thanks for the thought though.

Happy birthday Dragon Lady
Sorry I'm a little late.

Those are some miserable allergies, Dragonlady... especially the one with the plastic. Sorry to hear it.

As for the soybean one: that one would just about kill me. Since I don't eat meat: my diet relies to a not insignificant extent on soybeans.

Yes, it is a bummer. A heck of a lot of 'diet' foods in the grocery stores use Soy. I'm not totally allergic to it, just 'sensitive'. It depends on how it was processed and how much I eat. In the process of making some MSG is formed..sooo..
Same thing with paprika and a few other products. Also, sensitive to oat and wheat bran. And what do they tell you when on a diet to lose weight? Eat lots of bran! Grrrr.

Damn . . . what's left, white bread?

Are you only allowed to eat things that are bad for you?

Oh yeah, I forgot . . . I think white bread is often augmented with white sugar. I could be wrong on this, though... . Haven't checked the sugar content on white bread, lately.

Anyhow, these are some crazy allergies. I feel bad, now.

You should launch a protest against your allergies. Can you sue your own body for being allergic to things nobody should be allergic to?

Heh, sounds like it, but no, I can eat fruits, most veggies and range fed cattle/chickens/turkey. No white bread. BUT can eat French bread. It doesn't have any sugar except the tiny amount given to the yeast to get it going when you first mix it up. Got the okay on this from dietician and I only eat about 3-6 slices a week. Have open face sandwichs for the most part so that cuts down on a lot of bread. Eat waaay too much pasta though.

As for sueing, with my luck I'd end up allergic to the lawyer! Then again maybe not, my younger sister is a lawyer but not practicing at the moment but does keep her fees paid so she can if she wants to.

Hi All,

Happy birthday................Happy birthday............


Thanks,

Kaffeevollautomat

ah, thank you. Actually today is my Unbirthday.

Happy birthday Dargonlady!

You are an important piece of this forum.

"For why you speak with accent?"
"That's Dragon..lady, you know, the one with a temper..


Just kidding, thank you for the belated birthday wishes. I likes 'um! Presents even more welcome, dragons like them a lot you know.

If this keeps up, it'll just roll into your next birthday.

I think every day should be Dragonlady's birthday in Eschalon. We can just keep the celebration going all year long.

Well I don't mind as long as someone brings enough chocolates and sapphires!

And I'll provide lasagna and my special orange flavored fudge, its to faint over its so good.



[just ask the people who work with my husband and you used to be able to ask my relatives, but most of them are gone now. - they all ask how it's made. Rich, creamy, melts in your mouth...and your hands ]

edit: OH! I made Captain! *Woot!*

Heh, welcome to the club. Now you can say cool stuff like: "This is your captain speaking, there may be some slight turbulence during the flight." And being a dragon makes it even more fitting. 0_o
