So Em.....I presume they didn't bring a ballcock today either?...... B)

Bah! Nope, no ballcocks. But there are SIX big guys on my roof right now....I think they sent so many to get it done pronto, before any rain starts up. So far, so good. <_<

I thought you-all would be proud of me for not making snarky comments in other threads :rolleyes:

I figured Ckought wouldn't want his lovely forum degenerating into a free-for-all of tangential, abstract snips.

Hey, ya'll speak for yourselves! <_< I like snarky! :D

Much mirth over the 'Mods and their magic powers' :lol:

Do you have to 'vote' newbies in??? :unsure:

Oh no! This does not sound good :( Nikki, if you can't get any water into him or he keeps throwing it up, you need to get him to the vet for an IV fluid. We had to do this with Allo once when he was young--the vet said that not drinking for 24 hours is an emergency.

The good news is that he came home later that evening looking like a camel (the fluids build up under the skin and disperse from there) and recovered completely. :)

Keep us posted on the wee one.

Although I realized I wouldn't object if I were allowed to end every post with something like "There are no omnipotent beings spending every moment of their existence focusing on just you, so maybe you should take some time to learn to take care of yourself."

I mean, just look at Judy's flowers - omnipotent beings clearly have better things to do than sit around and listen to us whine.

Poor baby :(

May I suggest some watered down baby food in that syringe? Sometimes a little substance can help.

He had the tiniest bit of cooked chicken - but that came back up after a couple of mins :worriedface:

I MAY have to bite the bullet and have take him to the (weekend) vet if he doesn't pick up a bit tomorrow (KA-CHING!....Why does this always happen @ weekends???? :rolleyes: )

elye Community Regular

Nikki! Poor wee Barphin' Boris.....! :( Do keep us posted........

The less weight a creature is, the less time he can manage without fluid. I agree with Patti - - should take him to the vet tomorrow am if he hasn't consumed SOMETHING......

I believe I could manage quite a while, thank you..... <_<

Well, when she willingly displayed her heiny (and her bathroom) after a night of absinthe debauchery I figured she either had a great body (image) or a very poor memory...

Dear gawwwwwd....phorgot about that....interesting....avatar.

Patti, you look FABULOUS. Don't anybody believe her. Jack told me after our great evening, "Patti is really pretty. She looks about 36. I think Mark kind of looks like her dad". :o:lol::rolleyes:

Gawd, Patti, don't tell Mark that.......... :ph34r:

Guys I am so excited...this is our week sans-baby....and we have so many phun things planned! We are going to see 1-legged Dave our old lab buddy tonight for dinner. I miss him the most from the lab, everyone hates this man, he turned out to be the best friend John and I ever made down there. Everyone told me, he will be civil to you for 1 year and then he will turn on you....well 5 years later he was at my wedding, his daughter was my flower girl....Guess I proved them wrong :)

Then Jen has a babysitter for the evening and she and John and I are heading to the casino. I still like Atlantic City much better than our PA casinos since there is more to do. But this is still a fun night out. I think it is nice for Jen to go out every now and again as well. Next weekend she is coming home to my moms again. We are doing the county fair and that kind of funs tuff.

Well time to head out of here. Bye Bye Sillies!

jerseyangel Proficient

Where is everybody?? :unsure:

So, I'm outside this evening, weeding and going along great guns when I pull this good-sized weed out from under a shrub......and an entire colony of ground bees come pouring out! :o I drop my shovel, run towards the porch, dropping my gardening gloves and waving my arms to try and keep the bees away (quite a sight, I'm sure :blink: )

Luckily, I only got one sting--the little sucker stung me right through my jeans! :huh::angry: It still hurts a little :(

elye Community Regular

Mygawd, Patti! :oGround bees? Lord, I've never heard of such creatures.

Like land sharks? <_<:rolleyes:

Thank goodness you only got away with one sting!

jerseyangel Proficient

Yeah, it was a close one, but I think I'll live :lol:

Did they get yer roof finished?

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

Amanda......have a great weekend.

Patti... your soooooooo lucky with only one sting. Rather you didn't get any but gosh, how scary.

Jim did this for a neighbor ........ let me know if you need help.

I have to say I'm enjoying the weaving, meandering conversations lately......spilling over into email and encompassing other threads.....

Then here we go .. .

No one moderator has more 'rights' than any other moderator here.

That's what they want you to think.

Here's a fun bit - a woman in the yahooceliacbayarea got her new license plate:

We were at the store until 7. When we got home, I made dinner and we dined out on the deck, where we still are. I have the laptop out here on the table.

We're still struggling with staffing issues. We had a temporary person, already trained, whom we expected to stay with us until LaboUr day, but he found a better job for the rest of the summer, and today was his last. We are training a university student (local), but he won't be ready to work alone for at least a couple of weeks. So for the short term, one (or both) of us has to be there all day every day. :(

Nikki, the advice you have already had about Boris is good. Kittens are fragile, and dehydration is very serious.

Judy, I love your flowers.

Open Original Shared Link There are four in the Vancouver area and two in Greater Toronto. The closest one to me is the Avenue Road location, just north of Bloor, and I have not been there. I seem to be surviving with other more conveniently located stores. But I will have to visit one of these days. Maybe they will eventually come to Ottawa. :huh:

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

Gosh Peter sounds like you sure have your hands full at work.

Good luck and don't over do it

Your dinner on the deck sounds so nice.

thanks ......glad you enjoyed the flowers.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
