Haven for the Human Amoeba

Hello Therese, there is a very good reason you couldn't find Alberta on google. ROFL Welllllll, I messed up is the reason you couldn't find it. It is Elverta that is here in California.

Cijay, are you saying Alberta in California that I refer to as californicate?

I live in Californicate so I can say it this way. LOL

Jen

No, Alberta is a province, we're not in the US.

Hey, Jen, there's an Alberta in California??? Where? I couldn't find it on Google.

BTW, I'm a native Californian and prefer "Califunny." That's because California has every type of kook you can imagine, and maybe a few more you can't.

Isn't Alberta like Canada's "midwest"? (Wheat fields?)

Therese, I forgot to respond to this portion of your email. My gosh you are so very right. There is every type of kook in California. This is a very odd state or so I think it is. I have not lived in other states so I really don't know what goes on differently in other states. I did visit in GA for one week and did enjoy myself. I stayed in AZ for about 6 weeks and it was sort of in the foot hills. I loved it in AZ even though I had to adjust to the heat. I went hiking in the sand and hills daily. Then once I hiked 75% of the way up Pima Canyon. It was wonderful. This was before I had enlarged nerves in my feet. I didn't have trouble with Asthma in AZ either. Anyway, I wasn't in the city so I don't really know the differences between AZ and CA.

I don't care for where I live because I really would prefer not to live in the city. I rather live in a quiet and much slower paced area. The other is that I would rather live on a good size piece of property so humans would not be so close and I could have all the animals I wanted without someone complaining and so the animals would have enough room to run around like they enjoy so much. I'm going to attach some pics of my cats.

I know I got off on a tangent. LOL, Oh well, I suppose this is because we started talking about places we live and so on.

WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT 'WHEAT-FREE'?

(Voice-over: are the thoughts of a hospital patient, Jackie Salter, who has pneumonia.)

Voice over: "Finally, I'm in a permanent bed, what am I saying! Heaven forbid, only for the shortest necessary duration. I can't stand hospitals, especially the food. Still I have remained calm and patient with each individual who has been instructed to 'take a few details' again and again. My silent mantra through gritted teeth has been "it's not the individuals, it's the system, stooopid." But don't they realise how exhausting it is to speak when you are breathless with double pneumonia? Couldn't they do something intelligent like read out the details from the previous 7 forms they have filled and let me nod to confirm?"

Auxiliary nurse: ".and Jackie, have you any dietary needs?"

Jackie nods and whispers: "No wheat."

Auxiliary nurse writing laboriously: "No wheat, so what did you have for lunch in the casualty overflow ward?"

Jackie: "Nothing."

Auxiliary nurse: "Ah, weren't you hungry?"

Jackie: "Not offered any lunch."

Auxiliary nurse: "Oh, when did you last eat?"

Jackie shaking head slowly: "Yoghurt, casualty, last night."

Auxiliary nurse: "Didn't they even give you a sandwich?"

Jackie: "That's bread."

Auxiliary nurse: "Yes dear."

Jackie: "Bread - wheat."

Auxiliary nurse: "Oh bread, and that's wheat."

Jackie nods weakly.

Auxiliary nurse: "what about breakfast, lets see where were you.. Oh, in the 'day' surgery ward overnight. They did move you about a bit didn't they? Don't they have meals in there?"

Jackie: "Only toast."

Auxiliary nurse: "Don't you like toast?"

Jackie: "Toast is bread."

Auxiliary nurse: "Yes, bread - oh and that's wheat."

Jackie nods and sags back on the pillows.

Auxiliary nurse: "Right well the lunch trolley has gone but I'll see if I can get you a sandwich -no not a sandwich, .something - what do you eat?"

Jackie: "Everything except wheat."

Auxiliary nurse: "Mmm, I see.."

Momentarily puzzled then exit determinedly

Voice over: "What will she return with? I bet its cheese and biscuits, or a cup of tea and cake, or pasta soup, or sausage rolls.."

Jackie drifts off to sleep, disturbed by nightmarish visions of every type of food contaminated by wheat.

Auxiliary nurse: "Here you are dear, a cup of tea, an apple and some chocky biccys and the supper menu so that you can order for yourself tonight."

Jackie nods weakly.

The Auxiliary nurse beams delightedly and leaves the tray, and gives her the printed menu.

Jackie, drinks the tea, eats the apple and of course leaves the chocolate biscuit. Then she reads the menu.

Voice over: "Toad-in-the-hole, . batter that's wheat Spaghetti bolognese, . pasta that's wheat Fish pie, . is this with pastry or mash?"

She writes NO WHEAT on top of the menu, picks fish pie and writes 'if no wheat flour' beside it.

Voice over: "Puddings: Bread Pudding, sponge that's wheat Apple pie, . pastry that's wheat Fruit salad, Yes! Breakfast: egg and toast, oh well. Weetabix! Shredded Wheat! Porridge, yes, but I wonder what hospital porridge will be like?"

The Auxiliary nurse returns to collect the tray and comments in surprise: "Oh, don't you like chocky biccys?"

Jackie: "Biscuit -wheat, but thank-you."

She gives the Auxiliary nurse her completed, annotated menu.

Auxiliary nurse: "Oh good, it's much better when you choose for yourself isn't it?"

Jackie nods weakly.

Auxiliary nurse: "The supper trolley will be here soon, hope you've still got an appetite!"

Jackie smiles weakly in wry acknowledgement of her comment.

Voice over: "no lunch yesterday, a yoghurt last night for supper, 1 cup of tea and an apple for lunch today -yes I have an appetite. I thought hospitals were supposed to make you better and isn't a nutritious healthy diet part of that process?"

She is woken by sounds of the supper trolley bumping, banging and clattering into the ward.

The Auxiliary nurse is giving out white plates with their institutional metal covers and brightly enthusing over the contents that she reveals with a flourish. She serves the new patient, Jackie Salter, last, reading the name 'Catherine Miles' from the menu.

Auxiliary nurse: "..Catherine Miles, she was discharged this morning and they've delivered her meal instead of yours. You can have her supper, lets see, what did she order?"

She lifts the lid and says triumphantly: "there, spaghetti bolognese -no wheat!"

Jackie: "I don't eat spaghetti."

Auxiliary nurse: " Why don't you try it? It's very tasty, think of Shepherds Pie with tomatoes.."

Jackie: "No, I can't eat spaghetti, its pasta."

Auxiliary nurse patiently: "Yes that's right, pasta instead of potato - they're both carbohydrates you know.."

Jackie: "Yes, but pasta is wheat."

Auxiliary nurse: "Pasta -wheat?!! Hmmm, well, I'll see what's left on the trolley.."

Comes back a little hesitantly with 'Toad in the Hole' dolloped on the plate with grey mash and dried up tinned peas.

Auxiliary nurse: "Now, I don't expect you can eat the batter, it will be made from flour - but could you manage to pick the sausages out?"

Jackie, shaking her head: "Sausages, made with rusk - breadcrumbs."

Auxiliary nurse: "Really?, ...Well, what did you order?"

Jackie: "Fish pie, if it was made with potatoes."

Auxiliary nurse: "Oh it was, and peas.."

Jackie: "Lovely."

Auxiliary nurse: ".but they're all gone. I'll phone the kitchen."

She bustles off, then returns and asks with brisk impatience: "Do you eat ham?"

Jackie nods.

The Auxiliary nurse leaves again leaving Jackie waiting hungrily with the rest of the ward eating, but grumbling about the quality of the food.

The Auxiliary nurse returns calling out 'it's coming' while she collects up dinner plates and hands out puddings.

Auxiliary nurse: "Apple pie was ordered for this bed- can you manage any of that?"

Jackie resignedly: "Yes, I'll eat the apple, thank-you."

Auxiliary nurse sees a young lad from the kitchen waiting at the door, and goes to collect a plate from him, and brings it to Jackie and sets it down with a brief professional smile.

Jackie lifts the lid to reveal a couple of slices of thin fatty ham, grey mash and dried-up tinned processed peas. She doesn't feel so hungry anymore and is picking at the food when a visitor arrives.

Jackie: "Mary! So good to see you."

Mary: "What on earth are you eating?"

Jackie: "I'm not, it's disgusting."

Mary: "I thought the food might not suit you, so I've bought some in for you."

Jackie: "You treasure!"

Mary gets out a packed lunch box and fruit: "Anywhere I can zap this?"

Jackie: "microwave in ward kitchen."

Mary leaves ward with the lunch box and meets the Auxiliary nurse: "where is the microwave please?"

Auxiliary nurse suspiciously: "what do you need it for?"

Mary: "I've bought a little treat in for Jackie, she does love her food."

Auxiliary nurse: "But Jackie is on a special diet, she can't just have anything - what is it?"

Mary opens the box to reveal cauliflower cheese with a crumb topping.

Auxiliary nurse: "Oh no she can't have that (pointing and jabbing) it's got bread in it, she's allergic to gluten."

Mary: "Jackie is not ceoliac, she is intolerant to wheat, it gives her dreadful catarrh and IBS, the last thing she wants with pneumonia. This is rye bread crumbs, she eats it all the time. So where is the microwave please?"

The Auxiliary nurse points down the corridor. Mary goes in the direction of the pointing finger and shortly returns with a steaming plate of food.

Jackie: "Oh Mary, makes me feel better just to smell it!"

While she is enjoying her meal the Auxiliary nurse brings in the menu list and puts it down beside her.

Auxiliary nurse: "I've contacted the kitchen and told them that you need special bread for breakfast."

Jackie: "Thank-you."

Mary: "Looks like they're on your case at last!"

Jackie: "Just don't hold your breath - I certainly won't be, lets see what comes in the morning."

Jackie is weak and breathless with the long speech and eating.

Mary: "Save your breath, I'll see you again tomorrow, with more supplies."

The next morning the ward is busy with the usual early, very early, bustle of nursing shift change and breakfast trolley. The Auxiliary nurse approaches Jackie's bed triumphantly with a package in her hand.

Auxiliary nurse: "The kitchen has sent this up especially for you.

Jackie takes the package and reads: "Gluten-free part backed bread. Not suitable for microwave - use conventional oven.Is there an oven on the ward?"

Auxiliary nurse: "Oh no, only a microwave."

Jackie shakes her head in disbelief and carries on reading aloud: "..Ingredients: Gluten-free wheat flour.. I don't believe it!"

I go through this a lot. I'm allergic to tomato. It's not that I don't like it (when I'm on death row I want my final meal to be a mushroom & green pepper pizza & a bloody Mary) but I'm allergic to it. Severe...like, I kissed my niece who'd been eating fries with ketchup on them and I had a swollen face for a week. I ask people to be very careful with the dishes, cutlery etc etc...and the food gets to me...with tomato on it. Funny things:

Cijay: "I was wondering if you could make me a pasta/pizza with an Alfredo sauce 'coz I have severe tomato allergies blah blah blah..."

Waitress: (putting the food in front of me) "There you go, the chef thought he's put some sundried tomatoes on there." ************************* Cijay at DQ: "Can you make sure the chicken sandwich is plain? I'm allergic to tomato and hate warm lettuce so just the chicken and the bun, that's it."

DQ person: "Sure, did you want me to put the tomato on the side?" ********************************

Cijay to Red Robin waitress: "Please have them not season the fries, the seasoning has tomato powder

Red Robin waitress: "Does not." !!!!

******************************

I go through this a lot. I'm allergic to tomato.

With me it's blueberries. I *love* blueberries. But they have a most distasteful side-effect on my digestive system. I don't know if it's an allergy or something else, but even a blueberry Power Bar will set it off. (It contains real blueberry fragments.)

On the other hand, blueberry Pop-Tarts, I can handle. Then again, they don't contain any real blueberries in them...

Mind you, I don't eat pop-tarts anymore. I stay away from all carbohydrates whenever possible (though I'm taking some time off around this time of year...)

Hello. I'm an asexual female who joined this group to learn about other people's experiences (or should I say lack of experiences, hee hee). Sorry, bad joke. What I was wondering is if anyone has done personality typing, specifically the Myers-Briggs (MBTI), and, if so, what was the result? I am an INFP/INTP hybrid. I am trying to find out if personality type correlates with asexuality.

Welcome! I haven't even heard of that but I don't follow the rules of anything anyway. I'm always a half-size off or a half-hour ahead/behind LOL. I never really wondered about if my personality type had anything to do with my asexuality. The only thing that made me go looking into asexuality at all was to be able to find various ways to explain to people when they ask me about it.(IF they do, nobody has asked about it, just asked what's wrong with me. I don't tell them about my asexuality in that context because I don't find it to be 'wrong', just 'different'.) Of course making good friends along the way is always nice, they won't want to see a picture of me naked and they won't tell me about their affairs and wild marriage life.

Hi there

I am an INFJ.

Yes, it would've been great, darn Jessica for ruining our fun and bowing out of Mary Kay altogether. Shauna (her sis in law, my cousin) was the one who asked if I'd come because she'd told Jessica she'd have the party but only if she could round up enough people in advance. Then she ran around telling people to say 'no'. When I proposed the idea of Daniel she said "for THAT, I would have the party." but by then Jessica had said she didn't want to sell Mary Kay anyway.

INTJ here. We have been discussing whether or not introverts have a tendency to be assexual. My thought is that maybe all asexuals are introverts, but not all introverts are asexual.

Therese Shellabarger / The Roving Reporter - Civis Mundi tlshell@... / http://tlshell.cnc.net/

Hmm, if no extroverts are asexuals, this could be a pretty big revelation. I mean, theoretically, why should it be impossible for a person who's not interested in sex to otherwise be extremely sociable? It seems to imply that the whole point of extroverted behavior is sexual. I suppose if I had the need for constant sex and the confidence to back it up, I'd have been more extroverted. But I don't see the need. But then, I'm also very HSP myself, and I doubt there are many extroverted HSP's out there. :p If there's any reason why I'd say I'm not wildly sexual, it would be my HSP personality traits. Though, there's nothing in HSP that would make so many people actually uninterested in either sex in any way (though this extreme doesn't apply to me).

It is frustrating, usually a break down in communication between the waiter & chef. A lot of the time it's just stupidity tho'. If I have to hear "no they don't use tomato, just BBQ sauce" one more time. There's this great waiter at a local place, when I ask about the special, he thinks a moment and says "I'm not going to tell you 'coz you can't have it. :-)"

To lose weight. In the summer of 2002 I was about 425 pounds. Last time I was at my doctor's (which was only last week), I weighed in at 256. I'm trying to see how close I can get to 200.

Hmm, if no extroverts are asexuals, this could be a pretty big revelation. I mean, theoretically, why should it be impossible for a person who's not interested in sex to otherwise be extremely sociable?

I'm sure there must be some extroverted asexuals out there. But I wouldn't be surprised to find out that most asexuals are introverts. Then again, my understanding is that my own lack of sex drive is physical, not psychological, in nature. Which means that my also being introverted is just a coincidence. (Or is it?)

But then, I'm also very HSP myself, and I doubt there are many extroverted HSP's out there.

According to research on HSP, 70% of HSPs are introverts. Which means 30% are extroverted.

If there's any reason why I'd say I'm not wildly sexual, it would be my HSP personality traits. Though, there's nothing in HSP that would make so many people actually uninterested in either sex in any way (though this extreme doesn't apply to me).

Not being an HSP myself, I'm not sure how to respond...

That's plausible to me...but let's see how it goes, OK? You are extroverted and asexual? I believe that's now one extro and two intros, if if my memory is right.

Therese Shellabarger / The Roving Reporter - Civis Mundi [email protected] / http://tlshell.cnc.net/

Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm in the right group... I', 32 years old, female, and I'm a virgin... I don't know how that happened, I'm not religious and I don't have any moral issues with sexuality. I live now in Canada but I am from a very liberal south american country, where women can get sex whenever they want.

I never thought of myself as an assesxual person, I want somebody in my life and I always dreamt with a baby in the future... I'm very good looking and have/had a lot of friends here in Canada and in my native country. But for some reason I never had sex, and never felt the HUGE desire of having sex like - it seems - everybody else does.

So, I don't know if I just didn't have the opportunity of having sex, if I just didn't find "Mr. Right" yet, or if I really don't have any sexual drive... How do you know if you are an amoeba??? What does that really mean??? All my friends are couples and the pressure of having somebody in my life is HUGE and it's something that I would like to have but the truth is nobody interests me... and I'm not picky or choosy, but I just don't feel attracted to anybody.

Some advice???

I'm almost as introverted as can be without being completely hermited... I don't know I've ever come across an extroverted asexual. It would be bothersome to find out that all of socialization is about getting sex... so I hope there's some to prove me wrong.
