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.

:lol: Or add a little fountain or waterfall. The sound of running water helps attract them, too.

Or how about the homeopathic approach - - like attracts like? You need to put out little frog decoys, perhaps a cute little female frog, to attact a couple of males. You could have a hidden speaker out there, playing a loop of croaking frog-chatter.... .... ...

Hey, it'd work for me.... . .. :rolleyes:

Perhaps we need to adopt this approach with our lost yeti. One huge yeti effigy, sitting on my doorstep.... ...

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!!

Phorget physical therapy. Just get some good drugs, gia-gnet :lol: But anywho, good that yer finally getting this done.......you'll be back to Sven in no time. :)

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!

*snooooooooooort*

:lol: :lol:

Excellent. Where is LL? no sighting today...........methinks this confirms, 'tis our angry, abandoned yeti.......just toying with us.........

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

:lol: :lol: Well I do

Problem is, frogs just don't "happen" by our little pond . . . perhaps I should put out signs.

Or, put a couple o' dingos in yer yard. Go figure, w/ two dogs in the back, tons and tons of phrogs here. :blink: Three years ago, when we moved in, they were just miniscule - so cute - about 3/4 inch each. Got bigger and bigger - and fewer and fewer (uglier too) - as each season passed. And now, three years later, we have tons of cute li'l Lilliputian frogs again.......... Weezee loves 'em, but doesn't eat them. :lol: Poor Old Stink loved her a good froggie............ she'd have been enjoying herself quite a bit this year. :)

And BTW Stinker's nanny saw the dingo video.........said it looked exactly. like. our. Stinker.......... :wub:

and...........passing out whilst urinating? wee wee syncope? :lol: OMG - - I used to pass out a lot but - 'twas because my BP was like - - 80 over 45 :blink: and I still feel this way, regularly.......

OMG :angry:

'tis so bloody hot

and humid

103 degrees but - humidity today - - - am sweating like a phart in a phry pan :lol:

Could it be that you are on outline mode? Find the options box at the top of this thread on the right and choose linear.

OMG.......I think this could be codespeak...........

This may be our yeti, trying to tell us that he's lost . . ..doesn't know where he is... .. . perhaps kidnapped, being held somewhere, and he cannot divulge his whereabouts....just little hints...... . .. .

Couldn't think of any better thread in which to post this:

Open Original Shared Link

On a similar note.....I once knew a woman who would cry when she went poop...some sort of uncontrollable physical response. I wonder if there's medical term for that. :huh:

To solve the mystery of the disappearing phrogs, I think I will pose this question to my wildlife biologist son the next time we speak.

So...how invasive is this knee surgery?

Sooo...what is the difference between standard and linear? Is there any? Or are they just trying to confuse us? :blink:

Ooohhhhh.....I see....linear has that annoying first post on every page of a thread.....standard does away with that.......Thank gawd....now maybe I can get the Oscar Mayer song out of my head :wacko: ........my bologna has a first name.........

Yes, it's been quite delightful. Pennsylvania usually gets our weather 1 day later. My DS lived in Pittsburgh until just recently. We're supposed to keep this weather for the rest of the week! :D

      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.
