How about SillyPlastic?

:lol:

Captain Silly Yak?

Patti, I didn't know where to post this (I figured you read here more frequently than the OMG :huh: )

I am so sorry about Allo :(

It's so hard watching our pets, beloved members of our family, struggle with aging and all the things that go along with that for them.

You are in my thoughts.

Thank you, Julie :)

Patti!! You haven't mentioned Allo here in some time....Is he ill?

Emily--yes, he seems to be in more pain lately. We had x-rays done in December that showed severe arthritis all along his spine and the area over his tail bone was a gnarly mess. He's been on a glucosimine suppliment that helped at first. He's also not using the litter box at all--(Using the carpet...causing us to fix up a place in the basement for him when we can't be right there to watch him) I think it's just too much for him to hop in and out.

It's heartbreaking, but of course it's something that all pet owners will have to contend with sooner or later. It's just so hard to know what to do at this point. Ya know--he's my sweet boy :(

Or SillyphUs. :lol:

Gawd--that sounds like a venereal disease :P

And thanks, Donna, for your well wishes about Allo on the other thread :)

Of course only if the bird has metrosexual tendences :lol:

Most male birds are pretty metorsexual ... they spend a good portion of their day preening.

Hi, Tom!

Yep. Gotta train myself to check only once a day right now, as it can drive me nuts....kinda like keeping my weigh-ins to only once every couple of weeks.... :rolleyes:

Patti! So sorry about your wee boy...Aged pets give us such joy, but at times poignant sadness.....I'm sure you're holding and hugging him lots!

Such a sweet boy! He's been your avatar off and on for so long, I feel like I've come to know him with all the stories you have shared.

It must be one a heck of a photo shoot :lol::lol:

SO this bird needs a flashy, FABULOUS, fantastic name?!?!?!

That's great your SIL is doing so well, is she one of the few women in the race?

Anyways, we bought a little blue parakeet, probably a male. Name is to be determined.....

My grandpa used to have a parakeet and he let my brother and me name him. My grandpa likes Orange Pekoe tea so we named him Pekoe and when he died we buried him with a tea bag.

Sorry about your sweet boy. He's lucky to have you to love him and take care of him. The good thing about pets is they never waste their lives -- they live every day to the fullest. When we put down our Border Collie August the vet told me that every pet's life is a completed life because they have no regrets -- they live and love and play to the fullest everyday. I thought it was a very poignant thing to say and it was very comforting in the moment.

I have strep throat and an ear infection-- boooo :angry: . It came on very quickly. Started antibiotics today so I should be feeling better soon. I was throwing up last night and I was thinking how unfair it is to puke when you have a sore throat. A painful combination <_< .

Yep, there are three in the final sixteen, an unheard of number. Dawson City is the halfway mark, where she is now, and there is a 24-hour compulsory layover there, to give the dogs adequate rest and veteranairy attention. She has dropped three dogs...you begin with fourteen, and can stay in the race with a minimum of seven. Every time I see she has had to pull a dog out of the team I wince a little. They need as much power as possible in the last few days!

It's in the last few days of the race that I'm just SO excited, nervous, exhilarated, for her! :)

:lol::lol: My apologies, Alex....this did strike me as amusing...

And another Sick Silly! Alex, you've been hit hard with TWO things.....something gastro and ear/throat infection. Double whammy--this sucks. And I know how difficult it can be to control blood sugars when infection sets in. Take care of yourself!

Poor Pekoe--buried with a tea bag! It's terrible that your grandpa lost his bird, but that story made me chuckle. :P

Alex--gosh, I can't think of anything worse than throwing up with a strep throat. Take good care and get lots of rest :) Hope it goes as quickly as it came on ;)

It's in the last few days of the race that I'm just SO excited, nervous, exhilarated, for her! :)

This is very exciting! All that I've been hearing about, and to think she's only half way through :o Wow.

~~~~~~~~

Thank you all for the kind words about Allo--it means so much to me. He is having a pretty good evening.....ate some pot roast and later, Mark brushed him with the Furminator which is just about his favorite thing in the world. :D Right now, Matt took him upstairs and they're laying on the bed watching TV. :)

Hi Sillies!

I am at my moms on a whim I decided to take a drive right after the photo shoot.

The photo shoot went well, we actually ended up photographing in the produce department, I got to see the best picture too, they took 30 some. The guy who took the pictures is a photographer who has his own company in NYC. He takes pictures of models and other people in the media. He showed me some of his work. He was very nice, last week he was out taking pictures for Fashion Week. So he has been doing work with Wegmans for years now and he said he enjoys working with them since it is fun and they are very professional.

So in the produce department they had a cart full of food, and I was picking apples. There were cameras around and the umbrellas for light....plus people shopping all around me...which was odd to get used to. He told me I smiled very nice and the other Weggie people said I photo well, which I hope is good. I walked around with their manager for a bit too.

I wore my blue sweater which he said would bring out my eyes. He was so down to earth, is was fun. As soon as they let me know when it will be in the paper I will let you all know.

Cause all my silly friends can see it by going on the Wegmans website and viewing the online flyer. I thought about all of you while I was there.

Tis a snow squall outside now. We just got in from Wally World where I bought a new bathing suit...which was hard since I gained a bit of weight. John stayed behind at home since he is not feeling well. Mom and I will be shopping again tomorrow and then I will go home tomorrow night.

Just had to share with you all, thanks for all your support today.

Patti-I am praying for Allo, I know how hard it was to watch Lucky when I was sick.

Good morning, Sillies.....

It's suddenly a long weekend here in Ontario for a lot of us, as our provincial government implemented what they've called a "Family Day" on the third Monday of February, effective this year. I suppose we'll be planning some snowy family activities...

So you must be off Monday as well, Peter. Hope your brain transplant is progressing well, and no anti-rejection drugs are needed. :rolleyes:

Sounds like the shoot went well, Amanda! Let us know when we can see the pic online. You've done all of us celiacs proud! ;):)

Well, Emily, I hate to inform you of this, but you are NOT celebrating a "family day"!!! You are indeed celebrating the US Open Original Shared Link. They probably thought you Canucks might not be inclined to participate if they told you what it really was.

Bravo Amanda!!! We'll be looking forward to you modelling debut.

Well, I have to tell you that I am thoroughly caught up in the excitement of the Yukon Quest and I go and check on Em's SIL frequently (and am dissappointed when I find that they are STILL resting - yes, I know it's necessary - but I'm ready for some excitement). I'm now off to see who has left Dawson City.

Glad it went so well! I would have been nervous, but it sounds like you had fun with it :D Can't wait to see the finished flyer.

Have fun shopping today--it's nice and sunny here today (for a change).

Yup, the guv says we have to pay our staff to not work on Monday. Until this year, the law provided eight statutory holidays, but we actually gave our staff ten paid days off each year. We are considering keeping the total at ten.

The new hardware is working fine, but it takes a long time to find all the little things that need to be tweaked so things work the way you want them to. The good news is that I'm running xp--I didn't get Vista shoved down my throat.

I'm anxious to see Amanda's story online at Wegmans.

I shall email BIL and tell him about the virtual following of Michelle. She actually is quite an underdog (pun intended)...Some illness/injury during last year, of her and her lead dog, plus being female, no one expected much to be happening with her for this race. In fact, her being in it at all caused many seasoned mushers to raise eyebrows. LOVE IT!! You go, grrrrrrrrlll! :)

Yes, I hear you on the Vista issue....I stupidly had it shoved down MY throat when we got this computer last year. Unanimously disliked around here.... :angry:

Hi Judy :D

He's good--laying in a patch of sunlight on the floor right now next to me. He's washing himself--which is a good sign.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
