Emily, check yer ho' tub fer some barge poles.

Crap.... . . . .it would seem that anything is possible. :lol::lol:

What are barge poles used for? Phunny, but I seem to recall Mr. Chow telling me that as a young man he worked for a time on a huge freighter/barge that travelled between Hong Kong and Vancouver........

Significant?

Coincidence? :rolleyes:

I just don't know anymore. . . . . . .

:lol:

So, today is bit of an anniversary for us. It was eight years ago today that we took over our original store. We were there for almost six years, before moving to our current location in September, 2006.

POeter! Congrats! Great pic of you and Queen Jacquie!

When you were telling Bev that you have an excellent product for urine stains, I realized that you also have an excellent product for Mr. Chow's significant tooth decay issues (so bad that he's lost teeth) - -those fabulous all-angle doggy toothbrushes. . . ..I shall mention these to him . . . .. :rolleyes:

I'm subseqently developing a ritual of focusing on a page (can you say ooooohhhhhmmmmmm?), which requires me to go back, and go back, and time loses all meaning. Am supposed to like, sit a certain way? or perhaps there are ritualistic phrases that need to be said? Kow Tow (cow toe?) and bump my forhead on the ground?

Hey, Tareesah!! Well.....you do NOT need to sit in any particular way, but hovering above a public toilet seat - - now, for this there is a technique. Go back about 1,000 pages..... . .

:lol:

GO BACK? GOOOOO BAAAAACK??? No! I won't go! I can't go, I don't have time! You can't make me (but you tempt me, you do). I'm not even supposed to be here now! (maybe I'll peek back there tomorrow, though). I just wanted to make a brief stop. See y'all later.

Peter . . . Lovely new av . . . What does Becky weigh in at??? She looks like quite a armload . . . but is it all hair???
At last weighing, Becky was 17 pounds. The dear girl really should lose about ten percent. She is long-haired, and there is a lot of it, but there is a big cat under it all. We are trying to get her to lose, but it is not working very well. She is down from a peak of 18 pounds a year ago.

You can see Becky a bit better in this picture, which is an outtake. The first attempt at the photo had Jacquie holding Becky and me holding Caramel, but Caramel wasn't cooperating, and she had wriggled out of my grip a fraction of a second before the photo was taken. :o You can just see her right ear and part of her head at the bottom of the picture as she drops to the floor.

So, today is bit of an anniversary for us. It was eight years ago today that we took over our original store. We were there for almost six years, before moving to our current location in September, 2006.

For the second year running, we have been voted 2008's "Best Pet Supply in North Toronto" by the readers of the North Toronto Post. The editor of the franchiser's internal magazine asked for the photo so she can include it with an item about us in the first 2009 edition. We're pretty happy about that! :)

Oh, Bev, so sorry about your pants. We have a great product here in the store that works very well on urine stains. :lol:

Congrats Pieter- love the pics- all three of your girls are beauties :D

Thanks for the offer but i already used Nature's Miracle on me pants. No stain, no smell :lol: <SNACKLE>

Oliver is pictured on the bag for Enviro-Litter, a biodegradable pine litter sold as our private label. In the linked photo, he is lying on the table on the deck, and Tuppence is on the chair in the foreground.

....and I think from now on I better just focus on the current events (even tho' previous posts are hilarious!) Later.......T

For your sanity, tis better if you just go with the flow and stick to the here and now. Topics change so frequently, anyway......and just keeping up with the present is enough to make you late for work, ignore your family, and forget to bathe :ph34r: I have been here since....May....I think :unsure: As you have noticed, time has no meaning here. And I still do not know the origin of some things....such as the Yeti. I can simply take comfort in knowing that.......he just is.

GAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!....You just had to say that, didn't you??? :rolleyes: I will not rest, now, until I find it!

You can just see her right ear and part of her head at the bottom of the picture as she drops to the floor.

:lol: ....and Becky is looking at her like......." What the freak is wrong with you?"

Forget what else I wanted to comment on <_<

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      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...

I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      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.
