Almonds
From dsduani: WLU, I am new at this and wonder if this is the right place to respond to your edits. Let me know if this is not the case. In your recent edit on almonds you stated that almond is often substituted for vanilla by diabetics. Both almond and vanilla extract have about the same amount of sugar and calories so I'm not sure if this is useful information. Diabetics may substitute one for the other but I don't think it has any effect on their diabetes or diabetic diet.  

I'm replying on your talk page.   

 My smile for the week 
I just wanted say ""thank you"" for the barnshine. I keep meaning to say so but everytime I log in I see something that irks me and then off I go. I'm kind of a flake like that. I noticed your ArbCom deal, good luck with that. I hope a happy solution could be found for all parties involved, even if you and I are often on the same page when it comes to all of that. Cheers.

Just thought I'd give you a chill by answering over here. Regarding the use of bold/italics, I can't quote you the official rule, but in the ""real world"", titles for long works are either italicized or underlined, and as far as I've seen on wikipedia the same holds true here. Bold is only used for the subject of the article in the first sentence and generally for emphasis. -

Squeaky here
Hi, thanks for the note you left me regarding my article on Bridget Taylor. A few points if I may. I'm new to this so I'm not really good at. I don't think you hate me and I see how much obviously better the article is with your edits. So I'm actually grateful. You are really good at this, I'm not but I'd like to learn. So seeing the changes that you made to my original, I can't help but agree they improved the article, every one of them. So no complaints here.You have my thanks. Just to clear up a couple of kind of misconceptions. I really had no agenda. I don't know Bridget Taylor, I wasn't promoting her in the sense of I think she needs to be promoted. If I was promoting her it's more because I have become a huge user of wikipedia myself. It's become the first place I go to research any subject, person, place or thing. Given that, I totally respect the fact you are such a great editor. As a user of the information provided here, I also hope that the subject matter is comprehensive, fact filled, current, and factual. So again, I am not offended by the need for editing; rather I welcome it. Getting back to my agenda. I became aware of Bridget Taylor through a child with autism and did some research on her background. I found that she is widely considered to be the leading expert practicing the use of ABA therapy and that she is truly a tireless advocate for autistic children and adults. My sole agenda honestly was not to promote her but to have her listed in wikipedia. When the parents of child get the dreaded diagnosis of autism, they tend to search for everything and anything in their power to help their child. I've learned in my research that Taylor 's work and practice are of the utmost importance, especially to the parents of very young children first diagnosed. The Alpine Learning Group is arguably (but not many would argue the point) the best placement for an autistic child in the country. So given what I had learned from my research I just thought it was very important to growing segment of the population that Taylor just be listed in wikipedia. Honestly, I'm without agenda. In fact, I'm not a ""fan"" of ABA therapy. It is, however, the only scientific method proven to help autisic children learn. Which is a valuable thing. A parent can use dietary supplements, adjunct therapies, etc. which I totally support. In the meantime while waiting to see the results, there is a small window of opportunity when a child's brain is still pliable and they are at their peak learning age. That window goes from maybe 3-6 years old. So, to me, it seems very important to use what we have available (ABA therapy) so that child, all autistic children make the strides they are able to make in lear
