That we can both agree on. I may not agree with some of the message of the movie, but it is a good movie. The raid on Bin Laden was well done.

The single isn't teasing an album? That stinks. It felt very, Stones/Beatles/Kravitzy I'd like to hear more.

Why must you torture yourself over in the vs forum?

Because I like it when Dr. Myke implies I am a racist-anti-Semite-GUHN-NUHT , much more subtle this time: (Paraphrasing) If i had the time I'd love to scour the Trayvon Martin shooting thread to see if you had anything to say there.

He put that bloody Gwinett county shooting bait on a hook and I bit, even posted that shit gawker link. Should've just ignored it.

I had a decent amount of respect for that guy but scratch the surface & he's on par with with Msut, Dough and Clagk- just coats his rhetoric with a better PhD grade veneer and keeps the ad hominem subtle.

am I confused, or is there a link between autism and gluten -intolerance?

edit- found it, I was right. I'm no longer able to eat gluten thanks to hashimoto's thyroiditis. between you and I, all the bioengineering of the grains over the years (great intentions, we're feeding the world with much less energy use and money) are so strong (a grain that used to have say, 1measure of gluten/protein now has 500) and I think some of our bodies simply can't handle it.

obviously I'm no scientist. it only seems like we've created more problems by fixing others.

Just got back from my first cruise yesterday, it's crazy the kind of shit they can put on a boat. Would definitely go again, I feel like if you live within a reasonable drive of a port city it's an extremely affordable vacation for the value.

I never saw the appeal of a cruise. The best I can say for it is that I'm less likely (thought not entirely unlikely) to vomit than on a small boat.

My wife really wants to go on one of those disney cruises once the kids get a bit older. All of my friends say that it is great.

I'd rather go on a Werner Herzog cruise. Now that would be interesting.

Disney cruises are the best I've ever been on. The kids have thier own clubs that you sign them in to. We'd go back every 2 hours to check on them and they would plead if they could stay. If it wasn't for the fact that we wanted to hang with them, we'd never seem them from morning till night.

Cruises are really the only vacations my family go on, except for the weekend trips to the shore.

Broader autistic phenotype probably. Autism has a large genetic component so it wouldn't be unusual for a sibling to have autistic like symptoms.

I don't get it.

Sean,

Now that you've had the Nokia Windows 8 phone for a while, how is it holding up? Battery Life? Apps? What are your thoughts, gripes, etc.

I'm still in the market.

It's more this. I also have a cousin who's autistic/weird. (Is an air traffic controller now). And according to my mom several of her cousins had "problems". Information she neglected to tell me until after the first child was diagnosed.

I think we tried going GF/CF for a week or two a few years ago but in a crazy period. Too difficult, and too meaningless. None of the kids seem to have dietary problems that would suggest any sort of gluten sensitivity. The eat anything. They poop daily.

Speaking of cruises, the noro-virus (GII.4 Sydney strain) is going around the school and I really, really don't want that shit(s). I talked to two parents that said it took them each a week to get over it.

Rian Johnson (Writer/Director of Looper, Brick, Brothers Bloom and director of a # of Breaking Bad ep's) did an interesting Smodcast (#239) with Kevin Smith, and if you skip the first few minutes of their self-fellations and waxing rhetorical about their struggles/influences with religion/agnosticism it's fairly interesting- especially in regards to Looper, Brick and general love of cinema.

There is an embedded player here, if you don't want to DL it.

I think my daughter has it...She complained of stomach pains and yakked twice yesterday. This morning she woke up crampy and could not walk.

Honestly, I sold it and went back to iOS. Too many shortcomings, I mean it STILL doesn't have Spotify!

well it takes months for gluten to get out of your intestinal system, so you wouldn't see any behavioral changes after only a week.

I am not autistic so I haven't looked into what corollary there is between autism and a gf diet. sounds like they're happy so I wouldn't change unless the doctor said to. it is pretty inconvenient/expensive/blah.

picked up gf bread from a downtown whole foods store. it's made with tapioca starch. never mind the texture and vat it's completely tasteless, I could beat people over the head with it, it's so. heavy.

what's crazy is what uses gluten and what doesn't. peppermint patties? the original round ones? fine. the heart-shaped ones? they have gluten.

Cyric got us a bunch of apps and checks restaurants before we go somewhere. his first concern though? movie theater popcorn. depending on the chain you'll get different answers. some which are more aware will warn that because the corn travels on trucks that also carry wheat or rye or barley, gluten-intolerant people should be careful bc of the cross-contamination threat.

Is Cyric a made up name?
