Gus does this exact thing, also, at different times of the day. Sits ramrod straight, like a spectacular showdog, squints and remains still. Thinking? Praying? Bah....This is a MALE, remember.....likely what's going on:

"Now, do I have to poop? Um.....should I go and empty my food dish first? Is either cat around to flip up into the air? Or drooling...could just do that for a while".......

:lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Doesn't sound very different than human males. :huh:

(had no idea what a ballcock was so had to look it up:

A self-regulating cistern tap turned off and on by the rising or falling of a hollow ball, which floats on the surface of the liquid and is connected to the tap by a lever).

Bev, 'tis how yer toilet works.

Susie! Methinks it's the roids getting in the way of your mojo. How long do you have to stay on them?

Every time I see "roids", I think hema- and not ster- . . . I guess either could get in the way of yer mojo, tho.

Let me out to go check for squirrels . . . Let me in, there weren't any squirrels . . . Let me out to go check for squirrels . . . Let me in, there weren't any squirrels . . .

Janet! Surely with an inner dialogue like that, Josie must be keeping squirrels at bay and saving your screens!

So....speaking of 'roids, Jack is starting a very mild corticosteroid nasal spray for his chronic rhinitus. I'm not completely comfortable with this, but we'll try it for a week and see if he develops popping deltoids or experiences uncontrollable schoolyard rage..... <_<

Oh. how disappointing, doesn't sound like it can wake me up for tonight's outing. :huh:

Um......that stuff for Jack's nose - - I do spray something up my nose occasionally for allergies - forgot what in hell it's called - and don't seem to experience any problems..........alas, I use it about 3 - 4 times a year, not daily.......

Why yes indeedie--he did! :lol:

I also use a steroid nasal spray--Nasacort--when needed. Also used Flonase--been usin 'em for years. My opinion is that they're better than systemic meds for regular use. ;)

Well suuuuurrrreeee . . . just add that to the list with the other dirty-word-wanna-bes that Bev googled for us.

Welcome to the silly thread, Lisa. I hope you'll stick around.

Everybody, this is Lisa, a fellow Indianaian . . . I never did care for the term Hoosier. Now everybody be nice (Emily, this means you) and try not to scare her away. Misty only lasted one posting; let's see if we can do better.

I seem to remember one I heard about twenty years ago from my boss at the time.

A young man was considering marriage and was talking with his girl friend's father about it.

He says, "I'm in love with your daughter, and want to ask for her hand in marriage."

Her father says, "I feel that I must tell you that my daughter has acute angina."

He says, "Oh good, 'cuz she has no tits at all!" :ph34r:

How exciting!!!! Do we know her name?? I may have missed it as I breezed through the posts to catch up. Good luck to the Ripper. I tried to suggest to my son's baseball team to use nicknames on their jersey's instead of their names . . . just for phun . . . got no takers, harrruuummmph. The Ripper would be a great nickname for the back of a jersey!!

Well....her name right now is Chelsea, and I would never change a year-old dog's name to something totally different, as I could see that being pretty confusing, but my niece is Chelsea, she's around a lot, and it's so much a "human" name, somehow, for me. I'd like to alter it a little, perhaps to Elsie, which is a great old Scotish derivitive of Elizabeth. We'll see...nothing's definite, yet.....gotta met her first and introduce her to our goofball....

:lol::lol: The Ripper on a jersey! This is great, as Jack has finally gotten the hang of a proper bat swing, and he ended up rippin' a couple out into centRE this morning. Needs to REALLY work on his defensive skills, however.....could be a long season, there.... :rolleyes:

Delila went to Lyle pretty easily. I had been calling her Lyla, now I call him Lylie. (Actually mostly I call both of them Big Boy, I think it's the tone in your voice, not the actual word, unless, of course, the word is treat)

Considering where I work, surely you don't think I scare easily :P I have a feeling I'll feel right at home!!!! Sooo.... If this is my big day....do I get a party....or 100 Twinkies shoved down my throat?

BTW, looks like I need to have an avatar of my pets. I have a beautiful shepherd-chow mix named Zeus. Don't let the name fool you...he's the biggest wus you've ever seen. Among other things, he is scared to death of football games on TV b/c everybody gets excited and yells. As soon as he hears the pre-game commentators, he starts panting and goes into hiding :ph34r:

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
