It's Ptaoughmghmn's unofficial job, methinks. To notice, and then draw our attention to, these things.... :lol:

Why yes, it IS Phataughm who has his finger on the pulse of the goings on here in Sillyville! :lol:

Em--good luck at the vet...thinking about you and little Elsie :)

I KNEW it!!!!! I knew there HAD to be a big number coming up.....this explains the basement flood :o

I dunno - I'd need more mathematical substantiation to support trans-continental postal phlipover phluid-ephekt transference. <_<

Particularly for a phenomenon w/out precedence.

Maybe the distance 'tween Patti & Jess equals sillythread post # (14397) minus Patti's personal # ? (11770). That's 2,627miles. Sounds too far. Hmmmmm

Maybe if we find a way to convert your birthdays to angles and multiply the miles by (1 - the difference in cosines)?

Any ideas on what else we can do?

Yes, Susie! How's our Menstruating Missy, today? :lol::blink::lol:

I DO hope you're on the upswing.....

I am presently feeling terrific, as Elsie's legs are, at least skeletally, poifect. :)

Muscularly, they are nonexistent. She has very little muscle mass anywhere. This is okay - - we can work on this. She has gone from NO activity to a great deal of activity. It has been an overload situation...we've been expecting too much from her, too soon. Poor wittle fing. So we need to proceed with caution and much less fervour. A long walk every day is enough for now, and work up to short distance running. YAYYYYY!!! She's okay....

He also said that she's quite underweight. I replied, "Oh, gawd. She's put on a fair amount in a week. You should have seen her ten days ago!" He just shook his head. Sooooo glad we have her....and so, he assured me, is our vet.

Cosine...Les Mis...

Cosine is part of that whole ludicrous logarithm thang, isn't it? Sine, Cosine, Tangeant.....

Gaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.........

Such useful, mind-numbing business that I call upon.. ..hmmmm.. ..let's see.. ..approximately... .. NEVER.. .. .to use in everyday life. :lol:

I need more data!!!!!!!!!!!

In Chinese Year of the Tiger fashion, what animal year are the two of you?

But then how to relate animals to interstate phluid-effect transfer?

Could the multiple of your post counts = the sum of the # of seconds for the animals to traverse the transfer endpoints?

I must be barquing up the wrong Willow .. . ..Jess not only hasn't yet hit 2000, she's got NEW CATS COMING <probably> & Patti's basement flood was a couple days ago. The synchronicity discrepancy is disturbing.

Patti? I don't suppose #2 all-time has passed you to become #1 while your laptop is doing the road-warrior thing. Unlikely but THAT would be enough to explain it.

<_<:lol:

Ohhhh, poor baby! It's like she's been in a coma or something! Emily, I am SO SO SO glad you have her now!!!

My best friend and I have agreed that when our husbands die, we're moving in together into a big old farmhouse, and rescue as many cats as we can. We'll be crazy cat ladies together. :lol:

I spent ALL MORNING, literally, doing bills and figuring out a two week grocery list, including gluten-free, low cholesterol, low carb, low sodium dinners for four, breakfasts, lunches, non-food items, and I needed to keep it under $250. At one point I found myself actually pulling on my hair... but it's done. Whew. This new twist is gonna take some getting used to. Well, usually I have a bigger budget, but ya know, trying to catch stuff up.

I wish I could come to the Silly Summit!!! Sigh. Must do it again next year. Susie! Tom! Start saving now! And I will too.

EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in my self-absorbed menstrual maelstrom of woe - - - OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elsie just needs to build up her gams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is SUCH good news! Weezee is so pleased.................. so yeah, just start the lanky girl out on simple, easy things..........she'll be PHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did the flood coincide w/ the day Sillyville hit exactly 1000 pages behind Rachelville?

As a major participant in both -villes, it stands to reason you'd take the brunt of the phluidation.

In fact, I can't deduce ANY cross-thread ranking calculation where Patti doesn't leave everyone in the dust. :blink:

Susie!! There must be someone you know in Philly who'd put up you two Kisseys for a couple of nights! HEY!!!...How about our own Judyinphilly??! :):rolleyes: Send her a nice, pleading email, and you can ALL come!

Great, great news about Elsie! I kinda had a feeling that was it, but it's so good to know for sure!!!

I know, I know. It's so wonderful. Gus was SO happy to see her return from the appointment...I believe he was worried. :wub:

Hmmmm...I think we need to have both Patti and Jess complete a 72-hour phart chart, with numerical specifics that can be observed along with changes in the interval and/or scale, perhaps altering the visual perception of data. This alteration may in itself explain the phluid phluctuation, as per Hermlicht's Theorum.

:lol:

Elsie sure is lucky to have you, Em! :)

OMG.....I am SO lucky to have found her!! ..And Augustus is one lucky boy. What a girlfriend! :lol::wub:

My best friend and I have agreed that when our husbands die, we're moving in together into a big old farmhouse, and rescue as many cats as we can. We'll be crazy cat ladies together. :lol:

I couldn't go out of the house to the grocery or whatever without running into one of "my kids"--who always greeted me with a big hug.

Yeah.... I get kids during school wanting to give me hugs. The girls are OK.....but if a middle school BOY wants a hug,...He's just trying to cop a feel :o<_<

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      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!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
