celiac whining

[rm]

I am currently gluten-poisoned from licking an envelope yesterday. An envelope of my signature stationary. Which I usually don't lick because I can seal it with wax for the general hand deliveries I usually use it for. But I sent Patty a letter on it and had to lick it. And now I am sick as hell.

Are most envelopes this way? I've never thought about it before.

Cut off a little piece of a kitchen sponge for next time, I suppose.

This is apparently very common, yes. Stamps too.

Sola bought some large things of glue for her bookbinding and all of them were wheatpaste. I refer to them as her jars of poison.

Have you ever had any experiences with other people's hair products, as in, if someone else was using a wheat-based conditioner and then having their hair in your bed? It seems a little far-fetched to me, since I don't sleep on Sola's pillows, and by the time her head is on them, the conditioner has been in her hair for 16 hours. But I've gotten sick from her handling bread and touching my computer, and me putting my hands in my mouth after typing. So, I don't know.

in the 80's there was this whole thing at my school where people were dropping acid on Superman stamps. Ah, the good ole days!

Oh, I do! But I've been warned about this as a general problem.

There are devices for this already :

Some come empy and you fill with water, some ( warning ) come with adhesive built in.

I use them to avoid paper cuts.

Where are you getting your wax for wax seals these days? I'm finding alo ofplaces carry low temp. plastic and not wax. Brittle and almost useless.
