    Oh my, what a read over breakfast!  Hmm, we are supposed to eat more real food, less "food like substances", beaver anal secretions are as real as it gets, I guess I'll keep eating caramels and other foods with "natural vanilla flavors"!  And try not to think about where it came from!

    I try to eat food with only ONE ingredient; the actual food I bought. That makes it real easy to eat with knowledge of what you're consuming (we don't use antibiotics or growth hormones here in Canada to my knowledge). I don't need ketchup or sauces to enjoy meat, for instance. But of course, I do enjoy to pig out every once in a while....

    Gah, the pink beaver reminded me of hitch-hiking with my boyfriend back in the day from Ohio to Toronto. A truck driver took us a good stretch then got on the CB to find us a ride to Toronto. Here is what he said to the other truckers:

    "Yeah, I got a beaver with a cleaver here, wanting a ride to Toronto."

    Well I came in to introduce myself as I fit the category - decided to read the last two pages to see what the general gist of the thread was and lets just say  EWWWWWW  LOL

    What the current subject says about us Middies, I don't know.  All I can say is, this recent topic has prompted three Newbies to jump in.  What that says about them, I don't know either!

    Welcome new sister-lady-girls!  When no one here is in the midst of waiting anxiety or treatment angst or needing our vast knowledge about BC, we take the liberty to go off on unusual tangents.  Only one subject is off limits and that is The Weather, as per my request.

    You might think that when the topic turned to the anal glands of beavers, I would relent and reconsider weather chat.  No, never!

    Momine - gotta love the trucker's lingo. "beaver with a cleaver" LOL

    Welcome newbies. Ya we have some strange goings on here at times. But this is an amazing group of middies that are here for everyone all of the time no matter what the circumstance.

    Eli - I must agree that the recent topic of beavers and their contribution to our culinary treats is far more interesting than the weather. I can say with certainty that I continue to learn from the vast knowledge of all of the women here.

    WOW- all this Beaver talk makes me want to watch Leave it to Beaver and not eat Caramel again!! WOW- who thinks to try to that stuff?


    I had GREAT NEWS!! My genetic tests I had done were negative!!! So I do not have an increased risk of lobular, colan and stomach cancer!!  It was a wonderful present for today as I have been waiting not so patiently since December to get this done!!

    ndgrrl,  What is the name of that genetic test?

  • ndgrrl
    ndgrrl Member Posts: 645

    hmm not sure the name of the test as I have that written down at work- But the gene they were looking for is called the Ecadherin Gene. 

    I was tested because my 44 yr old sister died of a rare form of stomach cancer that they now know is connected to Lobular Breast Cancer and also Colon Cancer.

    Sparkle Cottontail checking in :)

    Had been thinking at one point that we'd officially open up down the shore this weekend, but hub wasn't feeling 100% so we stayed home. Just as well 'cause both dd's are now coming with our grands which was a very unexpected, but very welcome, surprise. Went from thinking we'd order in dinner to having a full blown feast! Nothing we like more than cooking for our kids though. Made a lot of the meal tonight and will just warm up tomorrow so we actually can play with our grandsons.

    Why didn't my last set of pictures show up? I had seen others talk about that too. What's going on? Will try to put up a couple more to get our page count moving!!! I think one of them was already posted, but it's still one of my all time favorites.

    Happy Easter everyone.
