Damn the conversions, full speed ahead!

I don't know nothing about GF baking. But I thought this was an interesting article about ancient grains and it says which ones are GF--maybe some you haven't thought of?

I think the only option you have now would be to move.

You haven't missed much. I couldn't get into it and gave up after that man died in their home.

There's a 3 part documentary on youtube called Servants: The True Story of Life Below Stairs which you might like.

I really liked the book "how to win friends and influence people". The very first time I tried the tips I was pretty much amazed that they actually worked and they're so simple. One of them was to listen twice as much as you talk, because peeps love talking about themselves.If in doubt do what a Niles does:

Nod and say uh-huh.

What were you previously studying? Can you not start again or go somewhere else?

We have an online university in the UK called the Open university where you can study from home. Perhaps there's something similar?

I found this:

List of Accredited Online Degree Programs

There's also part time universities.

There's also so much stoof available on YouTube and lots of universities have their own channels where they give lectures for free.

Dang i have a lot of relatives. Those darn catholics! Not to mention, those darn olden times.

I only learnt how big America was because of you guys,

I told R that I wanted to have 12 children (as a joke). Think he might believe me.

I stopped studying because my moods got in the way and I was taking more time off I just regret because it filled my day and occupied my mind. I can still go back i was studying by distance anyway

That was the most ridiculous thing I ever saw, I stopped watching for a bit after that but continued to see if it got any better

I might lose my security deposit over the screen.

stopdog · May 25, 2019, 09:16 AM

Is the screen really worrying you? Have you tried a spray bottle with vinegar and water solution and a brush? Just keep squirting and brushing (I know it is on the wrong side - but it is how I clean a some screened items that are contained in ways that you can't really get to both sides)

Going to an AirBnB in the woods with the BF! It’s our first weekend trip together; I’m a tiny bit nervous but I think it’ll be fun

Lemoncake · May 25, 2019, 11:01 AM

I've been isolating for the past few days and haven't opened the door though I've been in when Creepy guy has knocked twice in two days. Today he came back again after knocking in the morning and brought me a full bag of food.

Some of it's a bit random liked canned meat,pickles, boiled chickpeas and olives. But it actually does mean a lot more to me than I could tell him.

I hope you enjoy, that's something I'd love to do too.

From my economics text, chapter on supply and demand: “If ice cream is free, Catherine eats 12 cones per month.”

Only 12? What the heck is wrong with her?

No transportation?

I admire you for going to school now. I really dont think i could handle the story problems i see from you and on the news.

Honestly, idiots and or would-be comedians write them, and you know how much i hate those guys!

A lactose intolerance that sometimes wins out over her love for ice cream?

Because otherwise, I am stumped.
