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?

Tom, you'll love this . . . Navie is short for Navier-Stokes.

:yay: :D:lol: but :huh: .. ...don't recognize Navier-Stokes <some nagging thoughts of Stokes solo tho>

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!!!!

Haven't had a Coke in 3yrs I bet.

Coke vs. Pepsi anyone?

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.

Ohhhhh.....

Elsie is really limping. Having trouble with the stairs at times, and very stiff upon rising from her bed. She goes for her checkup tomorrow, but I just do not feel good about this.....

...symptoms of hip dysplasia.....

:(

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.

How are the pads of her feet? Where do you run her? Are you running on roads/sidewalks?

:) Yer mouth to God's ear, Em......

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.

On trails. Dirt and grass..pretty ideal for human and dog feet.....

Oh, yeah......!! Would I love to teach from my home, via teleconferencing er sumfin'....just my face, so I could be in my jammies. Oh....maybe just my ear, or from the forehead up, so I wouldn't have to put on makeup....

I just sent my resume to the gal. I may vomit. :huh:

:lol::lol: I know, I know, not phunny. Just struck me as such, fer some reason..... :rolleyes:

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior? 
    • trents
      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be. 
    • trents
      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
