Bev I can't get on, it says inappropriate for some viewers :lol:

Oh Susie Q, my heart just breaks for you and your little love bug Annie.

Like everyone else said, it takes time. You never forget, but the pain does lessen.

I lost my good old boy 2 1/2 years ago and he was always by my side. Not a day or two goes by that I don't think of him, I have his pictures all around.

Hold on tight to you memories, they will carry you through. And Annie too, you are both need each other to lean on!

Getting away to the cabin sounds like a good idea.

The trick with selling the baby stuff is to get sterilised first (as I did ;) )

cotton balls

Totally unecessary!!! :lol:

An elderly neighbor in my old neighborhood was having a boot yard sale.

We Brits do have Boot sales but we do it en masse in a field (hundreds of us) :blink::lol:

I was wondering the same thing--are we all going nuts??? :blink:

Past tense - have gone nuts

OK....you guys have to check out

Says You!!!! You just wait . . . and it will happen soon, now . . . you'll be out and about and it will flash into your mind . . . "Damn, I wish I had a cotton ball!!"

Um, yes, I've been carring them for years and haven't used one, yet . . .

tom . . . haven't the vaguest idea what woodshedding is . . . is that where the kid hides the sax in the woodshed to get out of practicing?

Morrrrrning, All!...

things just don't feel.......right any more. :( Will this go away, quite soon? :mellow:

Poor Susie.... :wub::(

I remember the pain of that kind of grieving like it was yesterday, when I lost our female standard (now she was NOT SUB-standard, like other specimens I know...), and I just remember trying to take one day at a time, corny as it sounds, like an AA member. I have to admit, though, that it very suddenly got a whole lot better when I brought home a new pup (Gus), and that was two weeks after Zoe had died. I just couldn't stand it, and my mom collected me one day, and out we went to a breeder's.

It absolutely does get easier, Susie....((hugs))...

p.s.

but you know sumfin? Gus's substandard poodle smile and head-tilt makes us LAUGH............... :lol:

Do you think he's smiling? Or simply staring quizzically, wondering what it's all about, why he's here, and what the secret of life is? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Tom, the pockets, I don't know what to tell ya. Can you fit tampons in there? because until you can do that, you're just not.......adequate. :lol:

Yes, this is a prerequisite if you are dating a pre-menopausal woman. Not that you're likely to be asked to carry her spare around for her, but it certainly sends an impressive first message if you say, "Hey, look, hon...you ever need a spot for an extra tampon, I mean ever....do not hesitate to ask. Check out these pockets..."

:lol:

My parents also are musical- both are songwriters, and they had a rock band for a long time. Got a little local radio play in Rochester when I was a kid.

Sarah! Fantastic! See if they're on youtube. I wanna see them!

Amanda, let us know. :unsure:

Emily, nope they're not on youtube. <_< They did a LOT of parties, weddings, bars, etc. My uncle did hear one of their singles on a "Whatever Happened to..." radio show a few years ago, which is kind of astonishing. The band was called Prospect Highway.

Janet, I THEENK "woodshedding" is when you do some hard-core solitary practicing. Is that right, Tom???

I'm up to my earballs in wee :angry: I found a couple of spots in the corner of the dining room where Allo apparantly relieved himself :angry::angry:

No stain, not even damp, and actually no smell.....I caught him sniffing round over there in his "too interested" sort of way <_< , and when I ran my hand over the carpet, I could smell old wee on my hand :o:angry:

So, I'm in the process of treating the whole corner.....

Did I tell you this cat has 3--count 'em 3 litter boxes???? Placed in convenient places and kept immaculate?????

Oh Guys! I feel almost 100% better again....to feel the support is a feeling that is unimaginable! :):):)

I am glad I always know I have support from you guys, even if we never met or never do get to meet....which I hope to one day get to meet you guys.

BTW I may be heading to New Orleans next week for work :) any of you guys around that area?

scary loos? Try Poland. Didn't want to touch anything in that little box. And they were cleaned at the end of the day by spraying the little boxes with presumably incredibly toxic chemicals.

My cats don't go far from home - they have to come back inside to go potty... :huh:

Oh, gawwwwwwdd...nothing as as HANUS. I go inside a portaloo when I am in absolute agony from holding pee for so long...I am TERRIFIED that it will tip over, for some reason (perhaps because they are free-standing, and my hover technique alters the centre of its gravity). These horrid things are the provided bathrooms in Hell....

Scared me...glad to hear the good news though- you deserve it. Your silly has been sacked too much!

Yes, Amanda! In celebration, keep our brain for the next couple of days! :lol:

Or your husband? Has he been scooting around on said carpet? If so, I'd shift my accusing eye away from poor wee Allo....

I don't know cat rituals, but if a male dog smells something that was there before, they feel the need to add some of their own special scent as well

OMG! Porta-potties, yyyyuuuuck!

Once in awhile I work with my Dad if he's working on a Saturday. He's in construction, does finishing work. (Yep, I am no stranger to drywall mud.) The only working bathrooms on these construction site are Porta-potties... used only by MEN. Ugh.

So when I work with him, I take a canister of Clorox wipes with me. As soon as we get there, first thing in the morning, I wipe that thing down. And then clean my hands with Clorox wipes. Since I only go on occasional Saturdays, we're the only ones there, so after that, I know that at least the surfaces I might touch are disinfected.

Horrid. *shudder*

No more talk of little hairs on toilet seats- I can stand wee but not the PUBES! I hate that word so much that in college, my friend Kristin who had a head of very curly dark hair sent me an envelope of it with the word "PUBES!!!!!!!!!!!!" written on the card. gack, gag, blech!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my gaaaaaaaawd :lol:

Is there ANY subject we haven't covered here?????

I lost my good old boy 2 1/2 years ago and he was always by my side. Not a day or two goes by that I don't think of him, I have his pictures all around.

Hold on tight to you memories, they will carry you through. And Annie too, you are both need each other to lean on!

aw Julie, that long ago????? Annie says you REALLY need another one!!!!!!!!!!! :) I couldn't manage without her.......the ONLY time in my entire life I was pet-free was when Cookster died.......I waited six weeks and then got the Stink......it was a TERRIBLE and very lonely six weeks.......

We Brits do have Boot sales but we do it en masse in a field (hundreds of us)

I believe here we call that a swap meet. Only, NONE of the guys are hot or look remotely like Hugh Grant. They can be rather of the toothless and unsavory variety, rather like "carnies" hawking their sullied wares. :lol: (well, depends on the town, actually - that's what they're like in THIS ghet-toe)

Do you think he's smiling? Or simply staring quizzically, wondering what it's all about, why he's here, and what the secret of life is?

:lol: Oh, Gustavius knows all of that already, doesn't he? looks wisened beyond his years, in a silly, sub-standard poodle-ish way.........and.........

To me, it looks like he's thinkin' . . . Hey, didja know you got some spirit sprite thingys wee'n in your hair? Seriously, you should do somfin about dem.

.....evidently talks like a rapper. :lol: :lol: :lol:

(this did make me guffaw out loud)

AMANDA!!!!!!! good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a relief for you.....keep us posted.

PATTI - OMG - yes, could be stale wee, left by previous owners, OR.....Mark really COULD be leaving his mark in the corner......you know, you really DON"T know what he's doing whilst you are asleep......... :unsure:

Oh no, port-a-potties, a whole other category of hanus-ity......

:lol: she said hanus-ity.

OMG - must tell you all the story of this extraordinarily POSH suite of porta potties in Monterey - - and I was sicker than hell.......nearly exploded my clostridium difficile explosion in there............. good gawd - I'll tell you all later..........

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By ElenaM · Posted

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.
