My wife busted me with my dirty mags in the "library".

I get plenty of fiber, and even eat veggies I'm allergic to, simply 'cause I love 'em so much.

And if you think fiber will clean you out, you've never experienced what happens when your body's trying to rid itself of something causing an immune response...

DUDE!!! There are plenty of veggies available that don't cause allergic reactions that you can eat instead. Please do. Food allergies are nothing to mess with, because what can cause a mild itchy reaction one time can be asphyxiating the next. As one who also has food allergies, just find something else to nosh on... please.

I'm the son of an allergist, so I know precisely what I'm dealing with.

Besides, one of my food allergies is the ubiquitous CORN*. Besides its existence in obvious forms, corn is in sweeteners, thickeners and so many other things its ridiculous. Only soy would be worse for most people.

On top of that, corn is one of my favorite veggies. Thankfully, my allergy to corn is on the lowest end of the scale. As long as I control how often and how much, I'm usually OK but for some heartburn. And rocket gas.











* My other known food allergy is chocolate. No, I haven't given that up either.

However, I apparently have one more that is unknown to myself or my father. It has affected me precisely once: I got hives from eating a dish at a national chain restaurant. It was a dish I'd had before, and actually one I cook for myself. I know what should have been in it; I know what the restaurant said was in it- nothing in either one should have affected me the way it did. There was nothing on the menu that should have done that to me. All I can guess is that my dish got contaminated with something that was not supposed to be there, possibly something not normally put in food.

So I'm off to do my thing and I have a stack of magazines under my arm. Just as I am going in, my wife walks by.

Note to self: Do not buy Dragon magazines from RPG Locker.

My Wife pulled all of the Chaimail Bikini Centerfolds out of my Dragon Mags...

Wife: "What is asking so long? What are you doing in there?"

EM: "Playing Flight of the Boodles!"

Wife: "WHAT? Are you saying what I THINK you're saying?"

EM: "Its a Tom Wham game!"

Wife: "Enough with the euphemisms! Finish up and get out of there you dirty boy!"

But I'm hoping it means something to her that I'd rather look at drawings of dragons and read about their ecology while I'm in the bathroom instead of looking at a hot blond and reading about her ecology.

Mine doesn't see a difference. From her logical feeling perspective both are imaginary creatures that I will never have contact with in real life.
