sillies - - I had this startling thought about how much more I"d actually get done in life if I had no computer

:o

:ph34r:

Yes do agree-- you know how much more productive I would be at work

I have a new poem for all you working folk:

'I cannot go to work today, '

Said Jestgar, Em and blueeyemanada-may.

'The Twas won't clean my house ,

And my kitties left a big bad mouse.

Plus my head it hurts, my throat is dry,

A margarita would be better, sigh.

My husband had gall-bladder rocks,

My cats are high and the ferries won't dock.

And there's one more reason-that's almost nine,

And don't you think a mental health day would be just phine?

Jess's leg is cut-Amanda's eyes are blue-

And Susie has absinthian flu.

Poor Leesa needs tosleep and dream,

And Jianknit's ankle-biters make her want to scream.

I'm sure I missed you other working folk (Pieter, Susie not to mention all you MOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but I'll get ya next time. I need to start writing more anyway- you know cause it'll help me when I teach :P :P

LOL!!!! love it!!!

Congrats Amanda!!! (and to yer sister, too)

JoDog's out of surgery . . . she gets to come home tomorrow . . . poor girl :( The worst part is that she has to be confined or on lead for the next six weeks!!! They told me that when I picked her up tomorrow, I would have the option of picking up a sedative (doggie valium?) to keep her from getting overly excited. I told them that I don't need to think about it, I definitely wanted it!!!

poor Jo-Dog!!!!!!! :(

It's just TOO awful when pets have surgery - I hate it!! Yes - plenty of drugs, jhanit.....

I'm sure I missed you other working folk (Pieter, Susie not to mention all you MOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but I'll get ya next time. I need to start writing more anyway- you know cause it'll help me when I teach

Bevel!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh yes, MORE POEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went looking at my posts yesterday . . . thought I reported it but apparently not . . .

We had a "circle of life" moment yesterday. A Coopers Hawk was eating sumptin atop the kids swingset. Smackl wanted to go out to be able to see better. I told him he couldn't. I didn't want him to scare it away . . . I didn't want to have to clean up anymore body parts than I had too :greenguyemoticon:

So I'm sure you all wanted to know . . . It was a squirrel. I just found the head (which was all I was expecting to find). Jess, I'm sure you're use to this sort of thing all the time. Shall I mail it out to yer kittehs so they can play football soccer wif it??

Jyah-gnutt! A squirrel's head.. . ......barfarama. ...!! I meant to comment on poor li'l Josie. This is so stressful, a sick pet that you must keep confined, must be always watching over.......she needs good drugs, and you do, as well .. . . ..

Do you think she's in any shape to enjoy that squirrel's head? Gads, if she's on a strong, mind-altering tranq, she'll freak right out if she catches sight of it...."AAAuuuugggghhhh.........!!! Squirrel head....noooooooo body attached. ... !!...."

My cats are always NEAR DEATH from starvation.

Either that, or so completely depressed that they will surely fling themselves off a bridge if I don't immediately race into the other room and commence snuggling.

She is spending the night at the vet's . . . as planned . . . so I'm sure she's hating it. Surgery went well. Talked to the Doc and then later, talked to the Tech . . . both reiterating how important it is to keep her from running wild (which she is so good at) for the next six weeks.

So . . . I was doing a little mathS . . . if I weigh four times as much as Josie, then I just take four times her dose of her "chill out" meds . . . right? . . . The Tech also commented (based on Jo's behavioUr today) that I was probably going to need the sedatives . . . :lol: . . . Duuuuuhhhhhh . . . <_<

Started a new book tonight. It reminds me of this thread but I've only read a few pages. I'll read a bit more and then fill you in.

Night all

Cute niece you got, Amanda.

Oh . . . sorry Jess . . . Susie's called dibs on the squirrel head. Guess you'll have to wait until next time.

Morning All

John's got his f/u appt with the surgeon today. He is getting all his stitches out and hopefully will be a lot better. I am leaving work at 12 to go get him and then come all the way back here. Hopefully today we will get a better idea of when he can go back to work.

Tomorrow we are heading home to see the new baby.

The weather here is beautiful I am rocking my new capris and my sandals today!

I just ran to the grocery store in me capri's and Birk's--so warm and humid <_< . I wanted to beat the storm that is headed this way. It's slow-moving, thus is supposed to bring us (possibly) several inches of rain. There's been lots of lightening wif it, too.

Amanda--I'm so glad youse guys up there are having a stretch of nice weather! I know Matt has been itching to get working outside on his yard. Good news about John!

Gawd....it's getting dark......

ummmm . . . or frogs??

I pick up JoDog in about 3 hours. (Em, twas knee surgery to keep her knee-cap from popping out of place) Headed out to Target to go get a baby gate . . . we're going to try and confine her to the office/computer/sparebedroom room (Yep, that's all just one room). She won't be able to see squirrels scampering in the back yard or neighborhood dogs going on walks out front . . . two things that just drive her mad. Plus, someone is almost always on the computer so she'll have lots of company.

Susie, I'll trade you my squirrel's head for some muskal relaxents . . . stiff neck today from hanus landscape removal projects yesterday . . . and twas only the tip of the grassy-weed-you-call-this-ground-cover? removal project.

Hello Miss Cate . . . you need to come back and visit. Emily is obviously on her best behavioUr . . . hurry back 'cause it won't last long :lol:

      Hair loss

      By TessaBaker · Posted

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Fluka66! Did you realize that the vast majority of all canned soups use wheat starch as a thickener, including such common commodities as Campbell's tomato soup?

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Hello. Any help would really steady my nerves right now. I realised recently that certain food left me in agonising pain so eliminated from my diet. I also have a swollen lymph node. My very caring Dr did some blood tests and I went back the other day to see another equally caring Dr . She looked at the test results one result has come back with something wrong. It came very fast so I'm afraid I didn't catch what it was. Anyway the urgent referral to ENT. She did say as I had already eliminated gluten it wouldn't say anything on the results and neither Drs nor I were prepared to reintroduce gluten . I've just had some tomato soup and again in agony only thinking this must have aggravated maybe existing problems. Does anyone know what I'm facing now ? My swollen lymph node , pain when eating gluten and lactose and I'm assuming the acidity of tomatoes triggering pain.  I'm trying to stay calm and to be honest I've been in intolerable pain at times rendering me unable to stand up straight but I've always just got on with it . Guess I'm reaching out and would really appreciate any wise or unwise words at this stage. Wishing you all the very best as you live with this illness. Fluka66
