It is very sad, but I feel better, so at least I can see results. I was actually thinking of using this idea to kill off a character--did you know that people can die from gluten, as in anaphylactic shock? Yep. Now that would be an easy way to "poison" someone, right?Rachelle Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522589944408062365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-85055840656883432732012-11-20T09:57:34.487-07:002012-11-20T09:57:34.487-07:00I should have grabbed more.
