It sounds appetizing. Thanks for the cleaning cooking information. Next time I see a four inch slug slide under our front door, I'll just put it on the stove and give her a try.wm125avis@ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15686793375034075330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112542569261817078.post-67512007984050456722011-10-07T11:26:29.007-07:002011-10-07T11:26:29.007-07:00You know... I'm glad for your comment, but I h...You know... I'm glad for your comment, but I have to call you out on the "like a girl" issue. It is only "like a girl" to have long hair if you accept the stereotype, and when you do that, you're caging every girl and boy who doesn't want to live up to that stereotype. It so happens that my daughter does want long hair (and to wear dresses, etc) but not every girl does. And many of my son's friends have been inspired by him to let their hair grow, too. It's only a social construct that puts boys in the incredibly small place they inhabit, and I'm extremely glad that my son is able to shrug it off. He's 9, now, and doesn't mind at all when people call him a girl, but it's a different story to outrightly tell a mother that "no she's not" a girl. As much as I want to be accepting of other people's views, I feel that others should be accepting of my children's views.<br /><br />We're quite relaxed about his hair; he likes it and frankly I think it's lovely, too. All of us (including him) are quite relaxed about other people mistaking him for a girl. He sees it as a chance to open their eyes a bit, when he says "actually I'm a boy"... but I don't think your repeatedly pushing "like a girl" in your comment is necessary. <br /><br />As for IgG testing, we did that a couple of years ago, and it turns out he's also soy, egg, and bean sensitive. My daughter is gluten-intolerant, too. But we're used to it, now. And quite enjoying our lives. Some of the best (and my kids' favourite) options for eating out are sushi (we bring their own little bottle of gf wasabi), Whole Foods buffet (but really expensive!) and Mediterranean or Indian restaurants. Greek can be great, too. There are quite a few good places around, now that we know!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100384225999745858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112542569261817078.post-63528456340901068952011-10-07T11:15:46.562-07:002011-10-07T11:15:46.562-07:00http://www.tldp.com/issue/174/IgG%20Food%20Allergy...http://www.tldp.com/issue/174/IgG%20Food%20Allergy.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112542569261817078.post-73515370004160289632011-10-07T11:05:10.085-07:002011-10-07T11:05:10.085-07:00Maybe the employee just thought your little boy wa...Maybe the employee just thought your little boy was cute. If you permit your little boy to wear long hair - like a girl - then you might encounter such surprise. Your little boy's face in these pictures does look like a boy but let's face it, he's got long hair so it's not surprising he's mistaken for a girl. Just relax. Some people are trying to be nice - not ruin your day. Not everybody wears their hair like Fabio. The only men I know with long hair usually put it in a ponytail or a braid. It is very unusual for a man or a boy to be walking around with their hair hanging down - like a girl. Take it easy. Glad your little boy liked his meal. I'm celiac and eating can be difficult sometimes when you don't want to cook yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
