:lol: :lol: :lol: Just got this one from my mom!

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

Do any of my fellow sillies fly Southwest air? Wondering what your experiences are?

love southwest. You get exactly what you expect. If you are travelling far, the multiple plane changes suck, but other than that, I've never had any problems.

SWA and BA are the only airlines I choose to use.

Isn't Southwest the one where you'll want to go online & grab "group A" boarding 23hrs & 59min before departure time?

:lol::lol: yep, that's the one . . . and 59 seconds

So, I don't remember, but I think I told you guys that we were having some work done to our deck the last two weeks. Well, it was being done by a really nice "handyman couple" (I could never work with my hubby like that). Anyways . . . we have a little fish pond off of our deck and I was telling them that we can't seem to keep any frogs. We catch them and bring them home and then the first rainy couple of days where there are plenty of puddles around, they make a break for it. They told me they would keep an eye out for a frog at their house (with an actual pond as opposes to our "landscaped" one). The guy even went out frog huntin' early one morning but they came up with nuttin'!! They finished our deck last Thursday (and it looks beautiful). This morning at 8:15 they called to tell me that they stopped by reaaaalllly early and left a little container with a frog for the kids . . . and let me tell you, I'm probably at least a 20 minute detour off of the route they were headed on. How nice is that??!!?? The kids have named him Ripples. We've had one spotting since his release. Anybody know how to tether a frog to a pond??

Also, results of the knee appt . . . probable surgery for cartilage repair. I'll talk to a new doc (surgeon) late next week, surgery wouldn't be until end of summer/back to school time. . . and I don't need any sympathy, I'm actually glad to be taking some action. My knee has been bothering me so much that it has been keeping me from doing some of the things that I like to do and forget about spending any time with Sven, just too painful!!

Hear, hear! And stolen art, and the yeti-llama! :lol:

Susie, an interesting suspicion you have, there.... . ... .Llamalady is not giving us her real name, or her exact location, or much of anything, really... . ...She provided us with a map to her domain, but 'twas very cryptic....

Could it be?..... :huh:

Jeez, if only I could somehow nonchalantly get Llamalady to divulge her inseam measurement.....I'd know in a second if she's our yeti!

:rolleyes::lol:

Gian-knit, keep us posted on your knee. I completely understand when you get to the point where you're just ready to do whatever needs to be done to be able to move on and get it behind you. :)

We have a coy pond, and I find that the frogs tend to come and go--we had a large one that appeared as soon as the weather warmed up. He's gone now, but in his place is a smaller one. I have no idea where they come from, or where they go :lol:

Hopefully, your new guy will stick around!

Sounds great, Janet! It is amazing what they can go in and do with major joint repair nowadays. Come autumn, Sven might be knockin' on yer door....... :)

Does anyone else suspect that our lost, neglected, embittered yeti just might be behind the disappearance of these Silly frogs? :o

Maybe you could call your local pet store and say you are interested in a leash for your pet frog....see what kind of response you get :lol::lol:

And good for you for taking action on your knee Janet, a couple of my family memebers had this done, or something similar and it made a night and day difference for them.

Done that. Start physical therapy now, if you can. Makes the recovery so much faster.

Just a driveby... gotta start dinner in a minute.

Janet,

Are you sure you don't have a snake in residence? Sometimes, as soon as you get a good frog population going, a snake will move in because... well, they want to eat 'em. So the frogs take off. Some snakes will just pass through the area, but other species like to settle down at a nice pond-- they won't leave until you make 'em.

Have never seen a snake at this house . . . I think one of us would have seen one by now if that was our problem (and this would also have filled my children's hearts with glee). I have heard that if a frog finds your pond, he will stay. If you bring one to your pond, he will eventually leave. Problem is, frogs just don't "happen" by our little pond . . . perhaps I should put out signs.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
