Hope it's a wonderful day for everyone! That the boxes are big enough for all your goods and plenty of em (for the movers), that Ms. Sarai Stress forgets what you look like, that the best job you ever had jumps up to grab all who are looking (and maybe some who don't know they are looking), That we ALL suddenly realize that, Hey, I PHEEL GRATE!!! And then to continue to pheel that way everyday!

:wub: a lurvely Psillie Blessing :lol:

Reesee! Deer in yer yard? what I wouldn't give..... :( Of course, if they ATE everythign, I wouldn't be so happy, I guess......

and Jess - KNEE SURGERY? WIH? we never hoid anything about it, did we??

well, she's home, the goo is gone, and she's got drugs.......send the extra GOO to me boobs (I'll take it, articulating or no :lol: ) and the extra drugs for me.....kitteh :lol:

I've decided he has schizo-affective issues and possible dual personality disorder.....did I tell you this already? I LOVE him ♥

and - speaking of the Wee P - - well, we have collar issues. I bought him his first collar, a very cheap ($5) green - matched his eyes. Well, this kept falling off and was finally never seen again.......somewhere in my house but dunno where.

So - I bought him one yesterday, a $10 darling striped thing. Fell off of him about.......four times last night. Stupid buckle is SO meant for safety issues that it doesn't even stay closed. :huh: this is being returned to the store.

Well, on the way home from work, I passed by a POSH dog boutique, and went in there.

Peanut is now sporting a black leather very tiny dog collar with bling. Three tiny diamond skulls :lol: and a blinged-out buckle. This set me back $23, <_< but should last forever and not fall off. I cannot BEAR the thought of Little P getting out and not having identification......will also have him micro-chipped later.

Because, alas, I can NOT find the little metal $6 name tag I had engraved at the pet store yesterday, which was put in my coin purse and now, is not there. :blink:

<um - I vaguely remember taking it out last night to adorn the malfunctioning collar and - if Kitteh ever saw it, God only knows where it is now. and I have to spend ANOTHER $6, at whcih point you KNOW I will promptly find it <_< >

dear God - I bet yer all riveted to yer screens from this topic.......... :wacko:

and Les Lye was in The Phamily Guy AND Phatal Attraction!!!!!!! :lol: now THAT is sumphin

Hey! Excellent....Should be all kinds of druggy postings from Jess over the next couple o' days. . . . ..

:lol: certainly hope so

Leesargh! Praying for hubby's job.........such scary times. :(

Not too late. Heading out in about 15 minutes. A bunch of hospitals here are all within 5 blocks of each other, including the one where I work, so I'll be walking to my knee surgery

that don't make no sense........

I'm just poopin in to say hi, I been busy lately. I was reading about the 'whiz' conflict, thought I might just straighten all that out for everyone.

Whiz: Brainiac. Noun. As in, "Math Whiz."

Wizz: Pee. Noun/verb. As in, "Take a wizz.''

Whizz: Something flying past your head at high speed makes this noise. Adverb(I think). As in, "The Frisbee whizzed pasted my head."

There, hope that clears it up for ya!!!!

well thanks Bun-knee!!!!!!!! :lol:

I'm home! Cat's are thrilled.

They shot my knee up with pain killers, so, for the moment, life is grand

excellent :lol: Maybe have a little wine to enhance things :lol:

In other news - -

SILLIES - I'd like to confess report a binge of pretty epic proportions.

Yesterday aft I went to Target and, among other things, purchased a FULL-SIZED bag of Baked Lays, and a bag of mini Snickers.

By early this morning, both bags - yes I said BOTH - were completely gone.

:ph34r: x 100

Pretty wild binge, even for me, when usually only ONE of two bags would have been entirely consumed.

and, in saner days, only HALF of one bag would have been consumed in a binge.

what. is. happening. to. me. :huh:

So I'm on a cleansing diet now....... *yawn*

Get a collar that is breakaway/stretchy/get-outable. Cats go places they shouldn't go, and WP needs a collar that won't strangle him if his neck gets stuck somewhere.

I'm not going in to work tomorrow. Planning on working from home, but that depends on the effects of the narcotics. Didn't see the bottle, but my brother was quite impressed with the dose. :blink::unsure:

Lil' P is stylin'!!! B)

Years ago we bought Allo a collar and a name tag--we had a fenced in yard at the time and although it was highly unlikely he could escape, we did it just in case.

He hated the thing--and it wasn't long before he came in one day without it. We never found the collar or the tag. We phigure he probably scraped it against the cement supports under the deck er sumphin until he was rid of it. :rolleyes:

Thanks, everyone, for the support and prayers..........keepin me chin up :)

Many of the school systems around here are cutting back on teachers and assistants. So far ours has not, and word is, will not need to. Even if they did, my job should be secure as long as Jo doesn't move out of the district. We are just so thankful to be working :)

If there appears to be no room for silliness in a situation, avoid it altogether.

Take care of yerself, Jess!

ummmm.....you didn't walk home, did you?.......no wheelchairing down the street?

Soozle!!!....what you need is a few more food intolerances!... . . ..yup... ..that'll work!..... . . . sure cured me of my cravings. :P............could never buy such things, as I would have no control once it was in me house. :ph34r:

:o OMG - okay........I'm going to trade this one in then, at that stupid posh pet store. There was a green breakaway one, it did look a little girly to me, and he is NOT a girly kitteh, peanuts or no :lol:

Thank Gawd for me sills.......without reading this, I'd have kept his macho skull collar....and you just never know......tomorrow we go get teh sparkly green one (not too sparkly) for a mere FOUR DOLLARS less <_<

I found his striped reject collar underneath my desk just now, and it had been put in a safe place for return. There is no tellign where his little name tag is and what sort of kitty gymnastics went on in its projectile displacement. <_<:lol:

Good Morning, Early Psillies!

Oh, Psills.....not a good evening last night........

Got a call from me BEST, oldest friend ...... . .she was diagnosed yesterday with cervical cancer. :(:( They have told her that it looks to be in the early stages, and she's been booked in for a complete ovio-hysterectomy April 1st. So, I sat and drank wif 'er. .. . .. ....she seems okay, just shellshocked.

At least it's cervical, not uterine or ovarian. .. . .....high cure rates, etc.

Poor, poor thing, as she has other health issues. . . . . ...

Okay, on with psilly drivel . . . .....!

If there appears to be no room for silliness in a situation, avoid it altogether.

Yep! 'Tis SO true, and worth repeating! :D

Breakaway cat collars. .. . . .. ..I, too, feel much more comfortable knowing my cats' collars would snap off if they were hanging from a tree, however I went through FOUR of these things with Bryce and TWO with Tess.....they are outdoor cats, and I'd put a new breakaway collar on them adorned with their new $8.00 ID tags, and within a couple of days they'd come into the house with the collar gone. :angry:

It was getting just too expensive.

None of them were found <_< .....have no idea where they came off, as these cats travel very little. Quite bizarre. So, I'm afraid I have little regular collars on them, and have not had any trouble. Sometimes I think about keeping them collarless, as they are microchipped. . . . ....

So there you are.

Pahteigh! is your Mark a' home?

Mornin pholkses! Glad to hear that everybody is hanging in there! Successful Knee surgery and a drug-induced euphoria. Perhaps you phlew home instead of walking? Em...so sad to hear about your friend and the big, bad scary issues. How lucky she is to have you close by to offer support! Glad they found it early!!!

Psuessly....your binges :P . The ONE drawback for me in healing is that I can no longer eat everything and anything. When I first started this lovely diet I craved, absolutely could not live without, high fat items. Chocolate had an almost nonexistant survival rate in this house. I even groused at Telehubby for cutting fats off from meats before cooking!!!! I mowed through any bags of chips that made it's way into the house. I've never had cravings like that....not even when I was pregnant! Pretty much over that finally (thank God), because now I'm absorbing all that crap.

We all luuuuv li'l P....so de-bone-air in tophat and collar! But yes, collars may not be a good idea if he's and outside cat. I like the microchip idea. Do they make those for 2 legged kids, too? :lol:

The deer are beautiful! I've tried many things to keep them away from my gardens. The latest is coffee grounds! They have discovered my pond some time ago...and now I have multiple holes in the lining. I plan on re-doing all off the edges....sloping and cover with soil to protect the plastic. From what I hear is that they are having trouble finding enough to eat (low acorn production, mostly) and so they are resorting to anyting else they can find...even stuff they wouldn't eat otherwise.

Phergot everything else. Will probbly think of it all while in the grocery store. Have I mentioned that I hate shopping?

Morning All Sillies-

Oh Em very sorry to hear about your friend- but cervical cancer has the highest cure rate and it is very known unlike lung and liver cancers where there is not a lot of tx's.

Morning Paddeigh- did Mark arrive home?

Today is the last day at the apartment- our walk-out is @ 3. I can't wait to give the keys back and then never return there. On the housing front- John and I just learned we qualified for the 1st time home owners tax credit of 8,000. We are allowed to claim it on our 2008 taxes as well. We have decided to pay off our one big credit card with it. They hiked my interest to 32%...I have never even been late.....I am so upset with them! I think something needs to be done with the credit card companies...

Early this morning there was a water pipe bust in the hospital on our end--and so now the whole 1st floor is soaked in this one hall. Plus since it started 1 floor above in my hall ours is a disaster- luckily we dont have any water in the office! But now we dont have fire alarms or sprinklers till this all gets fixed--and the heat is all off--so it is hotter in here than a jungle...crazy!!!!!

I guess I best I need to get some work started- its 9 already and I am leaving after 1.

Bye sillies!

As I was walking a million miles to the bathroom just now since there has been a new flood since I wrote the first time--who is high on their post count that could have caused this Phluid Phrenzy! To take down a portion of a hospital is pretty high ya think?

      @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.

      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,...

      @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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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

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.
