My yard is full of dead things in various stages of decay. Also plenty of pup poop from the neighbour's dog.

Note to self: If ever invited to Jess's place, refrain from stepping into her back yard.. ......

OK.....WTH is a jumper?......cuz around here, it's a sleeveless dress with no waistline that requires a shirt...usually turtleneck...to be worn underneath it.

BTW.....I happen to like sweaters!.

:lol: Lisa, I take it you haven't seen Bridget Jones's Diary? Very educational :D

Jumpers are what Brits call sweaters :)

:vomitvomitvomitvomitvomitvomitface:

All in all, a disgusting gardening experience. Must be more careful and more watchful of dead rodents and nutty, soft, poo.

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.....

GROSS!!!!!!

Must think happy pleasant thoughts! HAPPY PLEASANT THOUGHTS!!!!!

Green12 Enthusiast

Didn't mean to leave you hanging!!

I'm just not sure if it's a done deal and didn't want to get everyone's hopes up until I knew more.......it's a blonde cocker spaniel, male, almost 4 yrs old. Friend's of a friend can't keep it anymore because one of their teenagers has asthma and has become allergic to him, so they are looking for a good home to take him in.

Didn't exactly want another cocker (I lost my cocker 2 yrs ago) they can sometimes be feisty and I have 3 little nieces, but it needs to be rescued so we will see if it will be a good fit.

I have been thinking a lot lately about getting another dog, haven't really been ready until now, and then this came up.....maybe it is meant to be!

I'll be watching Patti :D . Someone else is joining the cast too but I can't recall.........is it Lucy Lui??

jerseyangel Proficient

Julie,

It kinda does sound like you and this little dog were meant to be :D I hope it works out and the two of you are a good fit together.

Yep--Lucy Lu....

Good morning, Sillies!

A doggy treadmill .. . . .I have oft thought of such a thing, especially when living through our winters and now having TWO big dogs that need daily exercise. How great that would be to line them up on a treadmill, hit "start', and come back in a half-hour. . . . . ..

I'd have to hang a li'l stuffed squirrel off the front of the machine.. . . :rolleyes:

....but at least I wouldn't have to keep flipping the toaster up again and again. . . ...

Yeah Nikki . . . we don't have room for horses jumpers. We have a spare bedroom and all . . . but I'm pretty sure it's against the Home Owners Association rules.

Shoot!...yer can't beat a jumper ;)

Premature excitement AND cocker glee here too :D

Susies gag-inducing gardening :o (boiling water for dem maggots BTW)

Sillies- I do not think it is pink eye- I woke up with a clear eye- completely. I took a shower and then had to run to the eye dr to drop something off. Even the woman there said it didnt look like pink eye. I get home and it was starting to get a little itchy and now its red and irritated again. Fine till I got in the shower and thats when I had trouble last time.....Its an allergy to something, but nothing has changed in my shower--no new soaps or detergants nothing. I still have not put a contact into that eye but what to do next?

jerseyangel Proficient

Amanda--maybe an "outdoor" allergy? They're pretty bad this year--people who aren't normally bothered by them are having problems. Both Mark and I have had itchy eyes the last couple of weeks. Have you rubbed your eye more than normal? Been outside in the wind?

One of my eyes is much more itchy than the other (the one with the eczema) so it may not affect both eyes equally. Just thinkin.

Green12 Enthusiast

Thanks y'all, I'm excited too :D:D

I will keep you posted!

Gag-inducing gardening :lol: Dead rats, maggots......I would be haunted by the experience :shiver: Um, Susie WHY are the rats dead?? :huh:

Quite impressive squirrels you have there Nikki :lol:

You know now that I think about it I haven't seen many squirrels here where I live, lots and lots of birds, and groundhogs, a few fox, but NO squirrels :huh: I also live in a gated community so maybe there is something to that.......the squirrels can't figure out the code to get in!!

Amanda, that's crazy about your eye. Definitely doesn't sound like pink eye if you woke up with it completely normal. Must be some type of allergy :huh:

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Gag-inducing gardening :lol: Dead rats, maggots......I would be haunted by the experience :shiver: Um, Susie WHY are the rats dead?? :huh:

:blink: indeed - well, I had to scrutinize and inspect the dead rat, could not see any injuries or wounds (Annie does pounce on things in her sport back there), so I think it ate some of Stepford's poison. Just very happy Annie doesn't even dead things...... :unsure:

or does she? I never saw the decomposing dead rat there, and that's a bed I phrequently weed.......

:unsure:

those pets on treadmills. :lol: Weez might enjoy that. Tika would have had a nervous breakdown. :lol:

Hi Sillies- I made an appt with MY dr for 12:45. My eye is almost clear again- just a slight redness. Patti it does itch now and then but not like the got itch, itch, itch deal. It has to be an alergy or maybe a cold in my eye or something but it sure isnt pink eye---I know it in my heart it isnt pink eye....you know how deep down you have that feeling....well I have that feeling....

I am awaiting a maint. man to come fix our dishwasher....it is giving off a nasty odor....eww!

You know something? I have a very strong suspicion that they also know what the problem is with Amanda's eye.. . . . ....

I'll get back to you Amanda . .. gonna try to communicate with one of the little guys out back. :huh::lol:

Emily, you need this:

OMG. . .. there actually IS a treadmill specifically for dogs. So indicative of the state of our society - - Cannot manage to take your dog out for a bit of walking exercise? No problem! Stay inert and inside. .. . we can sell you a machine that will do it all for you! <_<

Loved the dog and cat together on the treadmill. .. . .what a beautiful Maine Coone. I WANT ONE!

(Annie does pounce on things in her sport back there), so I think it ate some of Stepford's poison. Just very happy Annie doesn't even dead things......

Mygawd. . . . . ..Stepford puts out poison? She just gets more and more frightening. . ..... :rolleyes::lol:

I am awaiting a maint. man to come fix our dishwasher....it is giving off a nasty odor....eww!

Make sure to come back and give us a Ballcock Report, Amanda.. .....

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.
    • trents
      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
