:lol::lol:

Lisa,

Its soooo cool to see gators in the wild. Kinda scary too though. :ph34r:

I've never seen an armadillo in the wild!!! Where did you see it?? I'm thinking we dont have those here in Ca....at least I dont think so. :unsure:

Hey:

I was asleep on the outskirts of town and couldn't find anyone! :angry::angry::angry:

The other Rachelville moved here? You gotta tell the town bum, leaf sweeper, tumbleweed catcher :D:D:D

Sorry Tavi....Didnt you see the post-it???

We didnt want to disturb ya....since you were so busy and all. ;)

That's where we honeymooned but the only wild animal I saw there was the one I'd just married!

I did see plenty of armadillos when I lived in Texas-- but heck, that's where they have their World Headquarters.

Sometimes guys seem to be more wild than actual wild animals. At least I know one of my brothers are.... he moves more than the most fidgety animal, moves faster than a cheetah, and talks more than a bird....how much more wild can one get???

The purple glittery bats help with cross-pollenating the food stuff in the garden by flapping their wings.

They are that color because Susie is not real fond of bats and doesn't want them in her hair and I think Chelsea wanted them made them that color so they would be obvious. They are trained to stay away from Susie.

Mitch comment: In actuality, they were imported by Meredith when she discovered it was a result of a special mating season between the red bats and the blue bats. :lol: During transport on the high seas the high humidity caused such a stickiness on their bodies. Also, the glittering waters of the pristine ocean near R-ville paradise clung to them, therefore, the bats retained the glitter.

Could not have explained it better myself :lol:

It was too cool, but sad. We were very close to Hilton Head, SC. The development is unbelieveable, the little armidillo (I don't know how to spell it), was about the size of a very large cat and was in the parking lot and there was alot of new ground breaking around his original habitat. I never thought that they would be indiginous to South Carolina, but he sure was there. Kinda cool, but sad.......development is encroaching on wildlife everywhere that developers can make a buck.

Glad to see Rachelville making a new start...........perhaps I can keep up with it, probly so, maybe probly not. I will try to check in when I can. Will Rachelville have spell check? OH, yeah, I am Senator, I can do SOMETHING,...........legislation as stated " I submit a bill that all residence of Rachelville be totaly exempt from any duress, ill inner feelings or concerns about posting any misspelled posts to others, who reside or are visiting entities of Rachelville. A Vote is Called............ Ms Mayor how do you speak?

Got to be the bad buttock tomorrow. Wish I had a job that everyone kisses it. <_<

You know Momma Goose that I am a dingbat at times (really much of the time). I talked to Lynne this past week and said I was so concerned as I had not seen you on the forum for some time. She then told me who you now were. Boy, I will probably find out you have been Momma Goose for a couple of months and I just noticed you were missing for only a couple of weeks. I still have the wedding on my desktop and when I get some more needed energy, I want to go over which one is you. Take care and so glad you are here and have not run away. Hugs.

AndreaB Contributor
And thanks for explaining the bats to me.

red bats + blue bats = purple glittery bats :lol:

I love it

Oh...and I needed to mention that the red bats are the males, the blue bats are the females....that's because the males are brighter in color and the females are protected from harm because of the darker color. (Mitch comment)

Oh yeah, paradise R-ville has an elaborate five thousand acre glittery horse farm, so not only do the bats control the mosquito population, they also control the fly population so that the horses don't have to swish their tails. These horses come in a variety of colors and are available for paradise R-ville trail rides. (see the Social Director-Carla and Circle R owner-Andrea for more details about the farm).

lol Now I hope that those bats are quick with eating all those mosquitoes and flies :unsure: . If R-ville is going to be the perfect little town than those species will have to disappear so fast that nobody even saw them. Bat's eat quickly, right? :huh:

I vote for the bill too. Then I'll be able to quit pulling out the dictionary :rolleyes:

Bats are quick, good eaters and will have no problem keeping those populations under control. :P

Yeah, but guys aren't animals only on their honeymoons....they're like that 24/7....you should know that by now

You B girls are a hoot

Hi Tavi!!

I approve the bill too, as Governor (do Governors get to do that?)

morganb Newbie

Well Mom went to her room before I could even make it to mine. I'm tired though, so the brat will be attending her sleeping festival in the comfort of her own bed. Good night my fellow Rachelville-ians and sleep tight (if you haven't drank too much coffee yet ;) )

Now, now, let's not be perverting the bats....

They evolved to be purple and glittery so that they would distract their predators and so that Susan wouldn't be afraid of them. Both males and females are glittery and purple...You can tell the difference between the two because the females have comical large red lips :P

lol Now I hope that those bats are quick with eating all those mosquitoes and flies :unsure: . If R-ville is going to be the perfect little town than those species will have to disappear so fast that nobody even saw them. Bat's eat quickly, right? :huh:

One bat can eat up to 3,000 mosquitoes a night... :blink:

My name is Susan. I am an Accountant & an Assistant Food Service Director for 41 schools. Oh, I also drag race with my husband. Strange combo, huh? I'll let you decide then what I should be in this town. Ha!

Oh, and yes I got caught up in all those pages. I skimmed through though. I don't know how I would ever have enough time to read it all.

AndreaB Contributor

Susan,

Wow, drag racing....sounds too fast for me. :P Did Go Cart for the kidlets in Rachelville and any adults that enjoy that. We can have a safer childrens course and a more challenging adult course if wanted.

Susan W: Treasurer; Food Quality Control; Go Cart track owner/supervisor (With mini golf on the side)

Edit to correct last initial. :P

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.
    • Samanthaeileen1
      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms? 
    • Wheatwacked
      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.
    • RMJ
      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.  
    • Samanthaeileen1
      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
