We have a big walk-out deck that is a little more than five feet above grade. Our cats are allowed out there with some supervision. I'll share some pictures with you.

Great setup peter. Is Riley on a leash?

so I'm off excited to google a math adventure!!

Ahhhhh as a doubleE, never took Fluid Mechanics.

Suprised there's no electrical analog like springs & inductors.

Her name was Cori . . . short for . . . Coriolis :lol: . . . I used to tell people that she chased her tail counter clockwise above the equator and clockwise below the equator . . .

:lol: :lol:

I was daydreaming of The Real Thing last week!!!!

I just realized that if I got these two beasties I'd have Lyle, Max and Lefty. Sounds like the beginning of a Bronx baseball team.

Mostly a Pepsi household here, but if I'm going to have soda with sugar, I'll pick Root Beer.

Poeter DOES have some phine decking and phoelines........Peter, is Riley a Russian Blue? absolutely gorjuss...........

No, we think she is a Korat. She doesn't have the double coat of a Russian Blue. We don't know for sure since she was rescued.

Great setup peter. Is Riley on a leash?

In that picture, she is. For the first while we had her on a tie-out until we were sure she would not go over the top. She was still a kitten (the pictures I shared are three years old).

:lol: :lol:

Hip dysplasia in a one-year-old dog? Not a good thing at all, methinks. :(

:( Pseriously. Horrible day.........a day when you wish you had something like.......LSD? to take yerself away from yerself. :lol: Or......maybe someone would conk you in yer noggin and you could.....pass out er sumfin.

And then - OMG - :o A job as a proofreader has come up. Full time, that is the only heinosity of it.

Now, I have only two inarguable skills. One is for language/reading/spelling/proofing - I have an eagle-eye for mistakes and nothing - I mean NOTHING - gets by me. True story. My only other innate skill is coloUr identification. Taht's right. So - I could work in a paint store (yawn) or, be a proofreader and feel confident of my skills and not PHREAK OUT w/ the usual panic that I don't know what in hell I'm doing (welcome to most of my employed life - heartbreaking <_<:( ).

So, this job comes up - they do not come along often - and I have spoken w/ the gal at the personnel agency. Lovely conversation but I now have knots in my tummy. Oh, wait, I had those before. :huh: So........the job's full time, 8 to 5, and that makes me feel sick........but I could DO the job, and make a decent income, which means a new car and actually not being completely destitute. oh, and having an actual ANSWER when the dreaded "what do you do" question comes up. And less time on my hands to squander (less silly time, of course :angry: ) and.........a great boost to my self-esteem. That is important to me. And feeling like I'm not just here taking up space on the planet.......

Okay......but it also means.......arising at 6 a.m. and showing up somewhere at 8, tummy problems or no. Off hours involve cooking/food prep/meal planning, wardrobe planning, and cleaning, spending time w/ Weezee, who will go insane with grief, loneliness and misery with all my time away. oh and Kissey? :( Not as much time together and certainly no trips to Last Chance.....I can't risk the poison oak and the exhaustion. But, this is life, right?

So..........I'm sending in my resume and.........we'll see what happens. I am so sad to say that I just don't think I can ever work full-time again........I mean I possibly could, but it might ruin my already paltry life.....which actually isn't so bad, I just don't have any money.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( Meltdown upon meltdown, I"m afraid.

Ohhhhh.....

:( Oh it just can't be, Em..........could she be arthritic? I'm really glad you're going to the vet.....she is so lucky she found your family. :)

Peter - a Korat? that's so stinkin' exotic!!!!!!! :P

Labs, goldens, german shepherds, and the giant breeds....not unheard of in standards, but certainly uncommon. Dunno, the symptoms just seem to fit. However, I didn't notice them at all until she'd been here a couple of days. I think that whatever it is (osteoarthritis, dysplasia, etc.) has been brought on or aggravated by exercise. I walk and run faithfully every day, as does DH. Elsie has accompanied us I think daily since we've had her, and has absolutely revelled in it. I've never seen such a happy dog. However, it may have taken its toll, especially since we are now figuring that she NEVER got exercised at her old home. Worse, she probably spent a lot more time than we were originally led to believe inside her crate. :(:angry: So, all this activity, including the long romps in our backyard with Gus, may be a big shock to her system. I'm just not sure......

Susie! Don't fret about this job situation...or lack thereof. Things ALWAYS work out. Sometimes in phunny, phunny ways...but they do. I feel good about what's gonna unfold for you. Really! :):)

Maybe they'd like a house dog. Or be happy if you were sorta part time sorta full time, depending on the work load.

You'll never know unless you try.

I remember when I first got Weezee.......she'd never been to the beach/mountains/in a house/in a bed, anywhere. She ran with such joyful abandon on the beach......I can just picture how happy Elsie must be wtih this...... :) Hope to God she's okay.

      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.
