Hey Jill....no problem! I know that I had the same problem as you had, and I actually LIKE fish! I'm glad that it worked for you. If they're cold they're more palatable, at least in my opinion. That said, I keep all of my vitamins in the fridge now! Or freezer!

Hey Trailmix, no I've never been tested for that. I'll have to look it up. I guess the reason I never have is because once I got rid of the wheat in my diet, had control of my heartburn, and was less anxious, my stomach problems cleared up. For the most part actually, up until a few days ago, if I didn't eat wheat I was pretty good! There's a possible history of celiac's disease in my family as well as ulcers, and acid reflux. I guess that's why it never occurred to me that it would be anything else! Anyhow, thanks for the tip, I'll definitely look into it, especially if this doesn't go away with a tweak in my diet alone!

ETA: Remind me to actually read the link before I reply next time! That is very interesting although the doctor doesn't think I have an ulcer.

MrsCat-I hope they figure out what's going on because it is no fun to live with stomach pain all the time! ~hugs~

You're welcome!

You don't actually have to have an ulcer to have h pylori present - in fact they have found that many ulcers are caused by it though.

I hate Calgary more and more. ): Yesterday I went to Wendys to grab a Bacon Mushroom Melt, and there was this guy flipping out about his sandwich not having any lettuce (it doesn't come with lettuce) then he was screaming and saying he owned Wendys and made like three billion dollars a day.

After watching this, I left and waited for my bus in front of the store, then a few minutes later, I saw him coming out of the store so I go up and walked 2 blocks down to the LRT station. I was scared to death. ):

So THEN, once I'm actually on my bus, I find out he's taking my bus too. I ignored him, but then he started babbling on about sprouting tons of nonsense (which honestly freaked all the people out) It sounded like obscene satanic ritual/chanting and he was making weird gestures with his hands..I swear he was possessed.

Eventually the bus driver told him to either STOP or get off the bus. So the guy made a hand-gun (literally) and pointed it at the driver. Crazy much? So the crazy satanic guy behaved until it was his stop and he said, ''do you know who I am?'' The driver said, ''no, that's okay.'' Then the crazy guy went on to tell us how he was the Misyha (?) and that he was the ruler of the new world.

And then the door shut and the bus drove away.

He made so nervous, and

So thats my story for the day. :S

Geez, that does sound a little bit scary! I will say though, that could happen anywhere, not just Calgary! I personally think Edmonton is much worse for that kind of thing, but that's just my opinion! Calgary always seemed like the "happy shiny place" compared to Edmonton!

I've seen that before. I can't believe people let her go on for as long as they did. I would have said something.

Oh I see something brewing here....

[Mortal Kombat Announcer Voice] Calgary vs Edmonton. FIGHT!

[Flames9_RN 358]

fight???? Calgary would lay such a beating on Edmonton, not much of a fight!! Always felt sorry for Edmonton, the day Gretzky left, poor Edmonton!! lol

Last year social studies focused more on american history, human behaviors, black history and the presidents.

This year its kind of more or less the history of NJ... I guess that can be pretty bland.

All I know is I disliked Texas history.

heathen!

I'm no longer going to the Off-Topic forum. Any topic, no matter which one, seems to be a lesson in frustration and futility. No one listens and no one ever changes their mind.

The worst part about OT is that some people -- and I won't be naming anyone in particular -- like to toss insults at those who disagree with them. Instead of debating the topic at hand, they debate the person. It seems to be a recurring theme.

I'm all for a good debate, but not when the topic derails into "you're a moron because you don't agree with me."

i actually enjoyed reading your posts in ot!

There's always been a fight between Calgary and Edmonton! I always thought Calgary was prettier but Edmonton was more ethnic and bigger. I never did live in Calgary though, just Edmonton and boy do I miss the dim sum!

I think Calgary actually has a higher 'visible minority' population - and it's bigger

Calgary wins wooot!

I'm originally from Alberta but I moved away at a very young age, about 10 but even so I never thought there was such a rivalry going on between Calgary and Edmonton. I like the Maritimes, tons of drama but the scenery made up for it. I'm back in Calgary now and I think the rivalry is stupid. I mean, each have their own qualities which make them great. Sigh people are silly.

Drama ? Huh?

[Bern. 3]

Don't take that as a generalization. I was speaking for the area I lived in, and the people I happened to be around. It was constant relationship drama to say the least.

tee hee... okay.. i've never heard of the Maritimes referred to as Drama land.. There are other places in the country I could say that about
