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...... . .. .

switching to standard should fix it.

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

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. 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

      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, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. 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.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/
