Actually the webs do creep me out almost as much as the critters themselves. Nothing like striding out your front door only to be enveloped in sticky spiderweb.... UGH!

Had a bat in my house about a year ago. It really freaked out my ten year old beagle. The bat was flying around and the beagle was howling at it. After we got the bat out of the house, the bealge hid under the bed for about a week whenever we left the house. Poor little beagle. :lol:

What about bat poop? :lol: What happens to all those eaten mosquitos while those bats are skimming you? :lol:

Having said that, I think I'd like to see those swarming bats...but if I ever go there I will go in rain attire, lol. :lol:

:lol: They don't poop on takeoff :lol:

I was standing below the swarm and turned out clean and dry at the end of it. The worst part was grass on my butt from sitting :)

I'm having some Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream right now. I never was a fan but my husband turned me on to it & I am hooked now. I'll bet he wonders sometimes where all his ice cream goes.

I haven't Picard.

My favorite was Haagen Dazs, Mayan Chocolate, Dulce de Leche, and Mango :D

Speaking of Mango, where are you??

(I say this though I have phobias of my own. SPIDERS are mine. I can handle one at a time but if someone invited me to sit in a restaurant while swarms of spiders scittered by I'd be out of there like a shot!!!!)

Spiders freak me out too! If I see one crawling across the floor it gives me the chills and I jump a mile in the air, I just can't even stand the sight of them. Sorry little spider dudes. I have to have someone squish them for me.

Sorry Picard, missed your post about the bat and your beagle. Poor little beagle :(

1st grade, how exciting :):) Such a big day!

you guys are talking to the 90-lb 16 year old girl who beat 3 argentinian men in a steak eating contest and then ate dessert! i love to eat!

I am about 3/4 way done with the ice cream already... YUMMY!

i eat haagen dazs and my favorites are strawberry, and the chocolate peanut butter, i think that chocolate and peanut butter and like the best combination alive!!!!!!!!! that'y why when i ate soy i would wolf down like 50 reeses cup every day!

Getting back to the APUSH notes, i just did 9 pages which is good, finished the chapter, only 40 pages more! and 7 days to do it and write an essay! YAY! so close to being done!

(i turn the internet off when i am working so i don't get distracted by you silly-makers so that i wnot do my homework... but i give myself a break when i finish a chapter or finish the day's work...)

Hey, Lymetoo, I'm a calligrapher & native Texan too. Is it something in the water? Ink, perhaps?

Maybe so!! I used to teach it to my third and fourth graders! They loved it and it helped their cursive writing as well!

My brother moved from Texas to Florida about 20 yrs ago and I found out one Christmas that he was doing calligraphy as well! We were both self-taught. His calligraphy is REALLY nice!!!

heheehe!!

I WAY more afraid of TICKS than spiders or bats! WAY more! Hate wasps too, as I swell up terribly from them.

I haven't seen the bats in Austin [except on TV] but I've seen bats coming out of several caves in Texas, as well as the bats in Carlsbad Caverns.

Bats are good....but not when they get too close!! We had some in our school once when I was student teaching. THAT was NOT good....but it provided a great learning experience for the children!

Ritter's won't commit. They're a cya company that just says, sorry, we can't feed you!! We have other people who will pay for our custard and we don't need you anyway! You'd probably sue us if we did feed you, we'd rather you starve!! <_<

Thank goodness there are companies out there who care that we eat and just let us decide what risk is worth it.

I've not heard of Ritters either. Is it a frozen custard, or pudding-like custard??

If you like pudding Morgan, Cozy Shack is gluten-free, they don't want anyone to die :lol:

Ritter's is frozen custard. It's out of Indiana, started about 10 years ago and is spreading through franchising, mainly in the midwest. They'd be more popular IMHO if they served us!! Here they have a family of 8 who can't go there, so has to settle for somewhere else ... and I mean settle, they're the best! Except for the fact that they're jerks!!

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!
