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.

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)

      @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.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      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.
