can anyone find me info on the giving up wheat / opiates thing? Dr. friends were giving me the you are crazy look.

I found it via googling "wheat opiates." I am slammed at work, but if you can't find anything via Dr. Google, I can try to look tonight. But all I did was google; I don't have any Super Seekrit Information.

Someone questioned my judgement in making an unprotected left, so every time they honked, I threw up jazz hands. Which was more than twice. Maybe 4 times.

I'm going to snap one day and scream at the drivers who look at me, the pedestrian, like I'm a giant annoyance. My favorite is when they skid to a stop at the stop sign and then wave me across, as if they're doing me this huge favor.

I walked home from work yesterday and rode my bike in today. I had no hassles from drivers, but I do avoid well traveled streets wherever possible.

I may be an asshole, but clearly better driving judgement.

So did you beep at him after he had the accident? Because that would get you asshole credit for sure, and a high five or two.

Nah, I reserve my horn for imminent danger warnings.

Huh. Fat snowflakes and rain. And it is rather dark out.

Random question for any French-speakers in the house: I have two different face cleansers that both say in English they are oil free. In the French, one says "sans huile" and the other says "non gras." Are those both correct? Just curious. (Does everyone get bilingual French/English toiletries, or is it because I'm closer to Canada?)

I had always assumed the second language was going to be spanish until I moved here. Now, it is french. Blame Canada.

The feminine appliances in the work bathroom are actually tri-lingual, which I enjoy.

Does everyone get bilingual French/English toiletries

Yes.

Sans huile means without oil. Non gras means no fat. I would be more likely to expect the former on an oil-free face cleaner, I think.

Non gras means no fat.

Googling suggests it's used as "not greasy," which would do it.
