Floppy: I don't get the "other man" reference. Need more data.
Elise: I was working on the video index and discovered someone has been fiddling with the Angel channel:
1. The Videos tab no longer shows the previously-existing 16 Angel videos. In fact it says there are none, when clearly there are 8 still listed on the channel page. 2. When any Angel videos are viewed, the result is the YT message, "This video contains content from angeliccomet. It is not available in your country." 3. The visible channel name has changed from Angel to Angeliccomet. (However, since user Angel is another party's channel, I assume that Angeliccomet was this channel's true user name all along.)
So what is going on here exactly?

Hah. Yeah Floppycatlovingybunny, it is my dad (who has often been told he looks like Tony Hancock). The fact you thought it might be me makes me wonder if I am also a ringer for Tony Hancock.

Oh - I don't have access to the angeliccomet channel any more. I couldn't get it to sign in. That is worrying as they may have deleted the channel.

I have recovered the account! Someone else seems to have decided to register my username "angeliccomet" as a gmail account - I think I know who it might be - which complicated matters.
Think the problem with the videos showing up was that Youtube has a new partnership agreement and I hadn't signed in since they put it in place. had to tick boxes. Hopefully the videos work now.

I didn't think your father's photo might be you. I thought it might be Camp Kohler, since I recognized all the other characters up there, including your mother. It was because his photo was the only non-contemporary photo that I didn't recognize it was your father. You definitely do NOT resemble Tony Hancock. Recently I did get an idea of some film actress that you reminded me of, but I can't recall who, at the moment. I'll try to remember who it was. In the meantime, may I take this opportunity to point out an image I like of you? I think you had a really nice expression here in your Bleeding Ivy video:

Elise: Everything seems back to normal on the Angel front now, except the change from Angel to angeliccomet (which I will correct in the Video Index tomorrow). I guess this just demonstrates what can happen in a hurry if the wrong person gets access. Are you sure it wasn't the Chinese hacking in for your career secrets? We'll know for sure if we start seeing a new series of vegetable videos starring a stern-faced female People's Liberation Army soldier coming out of Beijing.
Still, it seemed a strange result that YT was saying that the vids were not viewable because of the viewer's country. What does country have to do with it?
Floppy: There's just the slightest trace of Helen Hunt somewhere in that face. Funny how the mind struggles during tenuous pattern recognition.

I like her expression there, whatever made her smile seemed to have been unplanned, and I also like the hair, it looks kind of unplanned too.

Surely your cat should be called Fur Elise?

My hair is always unplanned, Floppycatlovingbunny! Very little I do is planned [properly].

Your spontaneous naturalness is one of the appealing things about you. I'm getting so fed up with videos that are made according to formula, which seem to be dominating YouTube. Like they've all taken film-making courses or are following step-by-step instructions from "Film-making For Dummies", and everything is predictably planned, and they become routine. Queue the "exciting" music so we know we're supposed to be excited. Queue the "Please Subscribe and Comment" banner, because we wouldn't know that we should comment below the video or that we should subscribe to your channel if you didn't keep reminding us.
Still, that moment in the Bleeding Ivy video your smile seemed to appear unexpectedly, and smiles are one of the things especially that we do deliberately when know the camera is on us. I think it's my favorite image of you.

Elise: Also your natural spontaneousness.
How did you find out that you were gluten-intolerant (if that is the term)? Was it found before you were old enough to remember, i.e. found by your parents? Is there any way to desensitize yourself to it by, say, eating a crumb or two a day and increasing the dose over time?
Someday there will be a Star Trek Tri-corder-like thing that will scan your food at a restaurant and tell if what they are passing off as gluten-free is the real deal:
Waiter: "Here is your gluten-free deep-dish pizza, madame. We have spared no expense. Please enjoy!"
(Elise passes Glut-o-meter over plate. It beeps.)
Elise: "Ok, Guido, no tip for you! What are trying to do, poison me?"
(Elise picks up grapefruit half.)
Elise: "Why, I oughtta...."
---- *I used to have pretty bad hay fever due to pollen allergy 50 years ago, and Sacramento was known for it due to the large number of trees. I would have to load up on Contac, else I would dribble all day, have itchy eyes and be generally miserable. But over the decades, that has reduced to one or two days of mere sniffling a year for some reason. Nothing has come along to replace it, so I count myself lucky.

I had stomach problems at college but wasn't sure why. I have had digestive problems on and off ever since, then I discovered through a test that I have issues with wheat and most other gluten. Also not too great with dairy but it might be the proteins rather than the lactose.
My mother has always claimed she can only eat bread that is not fresh and we always thought she was making it up, but it might be connected. My father loves bread but shouldn't eat it. He also gets hayfever badly. My brother has asthma and IgA deficiency.
I think genetics have dictated my fate here.

Gluten can be lethal. I know this because it is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The other six are:
Lust, because it is an anagram of Slut Greed, because we should just gree to disgree. Sloth, because they are endangered Wrath, just because we khan Envy, because of Freud's penis Pride, because those stupid rainbow parades

Floppy: There are actually eight deadly sins. The one you omitted is Smartassedness. Elise: What is in the old shack at the rear of your back yard?* ---- *This entire sentence should be take literally and in the real-estate sense. I am not making personal comments.
