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?

Ahhhhh as a doubleE, never took Fluid Mechanics.

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

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.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
