I missed you all and often thought about you down there! especially because EVERY store on the main street sold underwear that said " I (heart) love to fart" and a t-shirt that said "I'm not drunk- I'm just naturally friendly, silly and clumsy" :lol:

Let's see- food excellent! Water was 70 degrees but only one real beach day. Got down to 47 Wednesday night- brrr!!!!!!!!!!! Went on a glass bottom boat tour, saw Hemingways' House, went to the Butterfly Conservatory, rented mopeds, snorkeled (in a wetsuit). Relaxed. I ate like a pig- seafood twice a day every day!

Had a moped accident :ph34r: The main street where all the bars and shops are is called Duval. Somewhere in front of a gazillion people I started my moped and confused accelerate with brake :unsure::blink: flew across the street, hit the curb, bike fell down, I skidded about 10 feet on my left side but walked away with a scarped knee and bruises because I was wearing a helmet, pants, day hikers because it was so cold. When the officer (very handsome if I remember correctly) asked me if I had been drinking I said, "Unfortunately, no!" :lol:

In the observatory, it's good luck if a butterfly lands on you. Not only did a beautiful blue morpho butterfly LAND on my shoulder- he took a poop! The blue butterfly of happiness pooped on me :lol: :lol:

We had a great time. I am so tired! Tan (lay out even if I had to do it in sweats and socks!)

No pics yet- I took my slow camera (film!) but Kurt got some so I'll get em up.

BEVEL! It just sounds wonderful and I'm so glad you were able to do so much!!!!!!!

And, a butterfly pooped on ya!!!!!!!! :lol: excellent!

am soooooooo anxious and want my Peanut home. :( I just called, they said he's fine but whether his personality has changed remains to be seen. I told a little lie :ph34r: and said I had an appt this afternoon but my mum would be here with him (that part not a lie, she insists on coming over) and wanted to pick him up before.

They are NOT happy with me....they want to keep him all day, WHAT IN HELL FOR? what are they going to do? he's not seizing any more..... :huh:

He should be home, with us, and not in a cage. :( He's been through enough.......

Jess.......um........I need some scientist lecturing, pleez :lol:

I don't know anything about seizures, keep this in mind.

I can't imagine what they're looking for. He has to eat and drink and pee and poop, but it could be a while before that happens. When you bring him home, confine him to one room, low light, somewhere soft to nap. Keep him away from anything that could hurt him, and block anywhere that he could get wedged. Treat him like he's still drugged and can't take care of himself.

He will be held in my arms like the tiniest, tenderest, wee babe, or snuggled on the couch, the bed, wherever he wants. shades drawn, very quiet here. He will be served white albacore tuna :wub:

I have already vacuumed so that that calamity wouldn't be going on. He is eating and drinking over there. Everything is so nice and clean for him. :lol: I have a rather loud and raucous friend (who LOVES cats) coming over tonight for dinner, may re-think that :blink:

BEV GOT BUTTERFLY POOPED!! This absolutely MUST be a lucky omen. . . . .

I had a dear friend say to me last night "well WHY did you do that? didn't you think about what you were doing?" :huh: - - I mean PHARQUE, obviously I have deep regret and was NOT being careful - - when everyone else had been so supportive and sympathetic. I sort of yelled at her :ph34r:

OMG. . . . . Haven't we ALL done something like this, due to a fixed income, and being next to certain that all would be okay? Lord, I have, once or twice, put my own prescription eye drops into my animals' eyes to avoid the heinous expense of veteranairy conjunctivitis drops. Gawd, now I will be always be thinking twice, and perhaps that is a good thing. . . . . . . . :mellow:

I'm so glad Peanut is still with us.

Jess is right, all four of those functions have to be occurring for him to be considered out of danger.

Many medications are not safe for certain species, and cats are among the most sensitive.

We sell most products without batting an eye. We generally assume that the customer who picks up what she wants and brings it to the counter knows what she is buying. Not so with flea products. We *always* confirm with the customer that the animal on which they intend to use the product is the correct one. With dogs, there are even some where the weight of the dog is important.

Unfortunately, some people think that a "stronger" flea product will work faster. It won't and could seriously harm or kill their pet.

Also be aware that itching is often not due to fleas.

To test for fleas, brush or comb your pet over a hard surface, such as a tile floor. See if tiny, dark specks come out. If so, moisten them. If there is a flea problem, the specks will turn red as a result of being moistened, indicating that they are flea droppings. No specks, or specks that do not turn red when moistened, suggest that the itching problem is due to another source.

Several posts while I was writing this. Must go catch up.

I looked at the package today of that evil flea stuff. RIGHT ON THE FRONT, not in large letters but in letters I can certainly read wtih my glasses on, it says

Wow...there has been lots of communikayshun while I was gone! I sat down to read for a bit this afternoon. I slept for HOURS!!!! :o Why can't I do this at night when Iyam SUPPOSED to?!? :huh:

Psuessly.....you did something with all good intentions. It's over (almost, anyway). Really, it does no good to beat yourself up over it. It's over and done....it's been rectified....you meant no harm....let it go. For your own sake, and that of Peanut-kitteh :wub::wub: (one for each of you).

Bev-really is home from her adventures!!! Sounds like a blast....with minimal damage. Nice to have the chance to get away and have some phun.

Pieter....a good man for advice for many and assorted reasons. :)

Giannet...you survived the invasion, and getting flattened into 2 dimensions. Did you leave any black holes behind? Hope your mood is improved now that it's over.

Niknik.....hower yu doin'? Just because you're paranoid, does NOT mean that they are not out to get you!....(Sawwy....bad phun pun)

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y
    • Scott Adams
      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.
