Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

Am I the only woman that is pretty technical in almost every way?

Comes from growing up with 3 brothers lol. Heck I even build my own tree house
I guess u are. My wife is a developer but she still presses both up and down buttons on an elevator call button as she thinks the elevator will come faster.
 
What do u do exactly ? I mean are u into support development testing ??
At the moment, Project management for the most part while also going to the south African border posts for customs related Clearing software support.
But started out In IT Sales then IT technician at Computer corp and after I got my A+, N+ I worked as a Systems administrator for a few companies, also did networking and Fibre in a few of MTN Data switches after that I was a Helpdesk Manager and now Im in Project management and Client Software Support.

Thats awesome, May be once I have a work permit u can help me find a job. I worked for tech support for Microsoft SharePoint, then switched to work for Optus Australia for tech support and help desk got promoted, worked as a tech lead for several years, then worked as a software tester as the pay was good and I hated night shifts.
Testing Jobs pay good but it's boring, would love to work for software support again.
 
Does ecigssa not open at all or u get to the login page and get a screen asking for verification ?? Let me know more, may be we can do a remore login session on your new laptop and I can help u fix it.

Thanks @Faiyaz Cheulkar but since the computer is under guarantee, I think I should let Calldoit handle any problems. He installed Teamwork on my comp in case there are. But, what happened with the forum was a message saying that it was taking too long to respond. I know why - I had run out of data!!!!!!!!!!!! :blush::blush::blush:
 
So since Sunday we have been on a mouse hunt...this bugger is quick,and Im sure he has super powers to make himself invisible...So Im softening the bugger up...feeding him every night then the trap comes out.

Which gets me thinking,wonder if the smell of me vaping attracts him,only when I sot in front of the tv vaping the little nonsense becomes arrogant and jolts through the living room,the 2 pitbulls snoring away and not of any help whatsoever.

I am convinced that the Vaping has something to do with it...but more in a sense of due to the clouds, the room gets darker. Mice are crepuscular and nocturnal so that would explain it.
 
I just say that I enjoy it and I feel WAY better than when I smoked
That usually gets them to back off...
It doesn't happen a lot but my go to response is: So?
It's interesting that you bring this up @Hooked, I'm inclined to agree with you with regarding the disagree button, it's much better to express the reason for the disagreement in words, except in rare circumstances when doing so would invoke a firestorm due to heated emotions. I'm not a huge fan of the disagree button, but I think it does have it's place.
There could be 10 Disagree rating buttons...if anything should be removed it's that damn Optimistic button. Yeah...you know who you are.
 
It becomes a habit for us to read every sticker to find out what's in whatever we want to buy, Woolies Viennas-yes, Bokkie-no, Ina Paarman spices, nandos sauces, wellington tomato sauce, chutney, all gluten free. Rice crispies contain gluten, simba chips, gluten, rajah curry powder, gluten, Cartwright, fine.

The secret is that you are able to eat virtually anything, just in a slightly other format or brand. It is second nature for us that locust 1 has his own butter, cheese etc, and he eats first where bread or rolls are involved, gluten free of course, and lots of hand washing.

Good luck, but it becomes real easy once you start deliberately looking for gluten in everyday items, and they appear in the most strangest places, even in ice cream.
This makes no sense to me. Gluten is formed when water is mixed with wheat flour. It's not a separate ingredient that can be added willy nilly to anything...and if you're putting 1% brown bread in my Ice cream, keep it.
Then again, if the number of people following gluten free diets, keeps being triple the amount of people that actually suffers from celiac disease, I suppose I'd jump on the money making bandwagon as well.

I'm sorry to be the barer of bad news.
The corn flour is comes with its own set of problems. Same with rice and potatoes.

The problem with gluten is the protein gluten, it causes holes in the stomach lining and you end up with undigested food particles in your blood stream.
Corn and potatoes have their own gluten-like proteins that are no good for any of use.
To top it they are also high carb, this means they are as good as sugar for you. Your liver turns high carb foods in to sugar, your insulin levels god up, this is the process that does so much harm because it was not meant to be used so much.
I won't press that button, but unfortunately I have to disagree @Bumblebabe. Potatoes are 100% gluten free and gluten found in corn flour is completely harmless to people suffering from celiac disease. Only wheat (and only when it becomes wet) produces the troublesome Gluten.
 
Maybe you had an off one? But if we've learned anything it's that flavourbis subjective. :)

Yeah, flavouring is subjective. No, it was perfect. My mom had it before and said it was fine. She doesn't really like it though.

Once it was in my mouth, it had the texture of cooked oats porridge and I don't like oats porridge as it's slimey. The flavour is similar to raw turnips. I eat a lot of raw vegetables so yeah.
 
Below you'll find @RainstormZA's flavour notes on "Earth Dragonfruit" I would be careful with this one as it seems even a little to much could ruin a recipe.
:--P

This is the mistake everyone makes.
I deal with clients on a daily basis, specially kids with celiac and candida over growth.
It is not gluten but they have a protein that acts the same as gluten.

One another note, potatoes are just carbs, that equals to sugar. Too much sugar is no good for either celiac or candida.
Corn is 100% GMO and again just carbs, again no good for either celiac or candida.

It comes down to tolerance levels, but even the person who can tolerate those now, eventually develop an intolerance.
There is such a huge variety of amazing veggies to choose from. Explore them ;)

Oh don't get me wrong, I am by no means an advocate for potatoes or corn and as you know I'm all for a low carb lifestyle. What bugs me about the gluten free industry is that they falsely label products and the pricing is not even a little justified for some of them.

@RainstormZA WOW! That's pretty amazing! I don't think many women would build their own tree house! Come to think of it, I know many guys who couldn't/wouldn't either!

That is so true.
Once you look out and get used to it it becomes so easy.
The easiest way is to keep clear of processed "foods".
 
My primary contribution, especially for the ladies, is if you are having gluten issues, get your thyroids checked. If possible get tested for Hashimoto's Disease. HRH went through a very difficult time until we found a doctor prepared to test fully and finally figure out. the extremes can be managed with medicine, but knowing exactly what is wrong helps you choose an appropriate approach to food that is the real foundation for healing.
Good tip, we should check it anyway.
But, mine is working well (very grateful for that) and I am extremely gluten intolerant.
There is no one size fits all.
The gluten effect, attacks your weakest link.

You learn to stay calm about.
I feel so sorry for those that trust the writing on packets.

Where money comes in, all care and ethics goes out the back door.

It’s infuriating but to fight those is a losing battle.
We rather educate.
