Patti's french maid outfit must have feathers. From the southern part of France, where it doesn't get so cold. No furred muffs for her.

I'm at the hotel having wine and snickerdoodles........

:lol: :lol: :lol: What is the preferred wine to accent the light sweetness of the snickerdoodles?

Jestgar Rising Star

This afternoon I went to a talk given by a woman I worked with for two years. Five years a go she went to Pittsburgh, and she came back to give a talk on her research.

I saw her in the hallway before the talk and she looked at me, and that sort of light dawned and she said 'oh hi' and gave me a brief hug. Then she went into the room and stood up at the podium for 5 minutes as the room filled up.

I felt sort of brushed off. I mean, I know this woman's sex stories, for heaven's sake....

Anyway, it occurred to me later that maybe she didn't really recognize me. I'm 50 pounds lighter, have blond (and grey :ph34r: ) hair that's about 2 feet shorter than it used to be, and I'm not depressed. Maybe she only sorta knew who I was.

Where's Peter??? This seems like something he would be all over!!

Gotta go to bed.

Nite Jess!!

Moi? It has been a long day. I don't think I can get excited even about French Maids with furry parts.

Our furry friend, Oliver, is sleeping beside me as I type this. He is not well. We took him to the vet this morning. He has two problems (comprehensive blood tests showed nothing else). He has a bladder infection and is on a course of ABX for the next two weeks for that, but his blood sugar is extremely high. It was 24 when 4 to 8 is normal (similar to humans). The sugar in his urine likely contributed to the bladder infection.

So I spent much time today looking into feline diabetes, and acquiring things we will need to start him on insulin in the morning. Apparently, cats respond very well to glargine insulin (Lantus), the same stuff I take for my basal insulin. The pen that I use is not practical for him. I have gathered up syringes (which I stopped using about eight years ago) and testing supplies. So we begin in the morning with insulin. We are off and will be around to observe him to monitor for possible adverse reactions. They are rare, but are very dangerous if they do occur.

Of course, we have also had to rethink cat food. With three of them it is a challenge to meet the expectations of Riley and Tuppence while providing for Oliver. With the vet, the pharmacy, and new cat food (at least that we get wholesale), it was an expensive day.

I'm beat. I should have gone to bed an hour ago.

I used to call my refridgerator *bitsch-hhhhh*....does that qualify for a nickname?

:lol: phorgot to chortle over this earlier....and yes, I think it does

<I love how Theeresugh calls me Pseussle :) >

I think courgette sounds like some piece of a french maid's outfit...

Or a bad euphemism.

"Those shorts are too short, your courgette will show!" :P

Where's Peter??? This seems like something he would be all over!!

pseriously! Like a hobo on a three-day-old ham sandwich! :lol:

Somethin' all the boys would be all over, given the chance.

I am thinking, since you know her SEX stories for pete's sake, she did not recognize you.

sillies - - I am so sorry but I have the two cutest pets in the world :wub:

Every night, Kitteh Boy (what IS his name :blink: ) comes onto the bed and grooms Weez for at least 10 minutes........cutest thing, just licking and licking her.....Weez has her eyes half-closed in this heretofore unknown state of kitteh love bliss :wub: I can't even TAKE it.......then, they snuggle together in some fashion.......have posted a new photo of those two, spooning............

I have about.............500 new photos of those two canoodling and cavorting together.....might have to put some on facebook and bore everyone to DEATH :lol:

but Kitteh is just a total love......gives a jaunty little "meow" like a "HI!" when you walk into the room.........and a SCREEEEEEEAMING meow when he wants something quite urgently......

puts his wee paw up to my face to give some love, a gentle touch to the cheek at times......rests his paw on the Weez's snout at night, right after the grooming :wub:

I SERIOUSLY cannot take it

:)

I have no life :lol:

Good morning Sillies.

Happy St Patricks Day, anybody besides me celebrating it/or their Irishness?

Besides Skeeter that is, on this day her favorite holiday :lol:

I'm not sure where this came from, but apparently leprechaun's are out and about on St. Patrick's Day eve . . . :lol::lol::lol: . . . so Skeeter has left notes for a leprechaun in her room giving him permission to build forts with her blanket and swing on her ceiling fan. She also wrote that St. Patrick's Day is her favoUrite holiday. Wait till Santa hears about this!!!

Very cute story Janet!!

I'm 50 pounds lighter, have blond (and grey :ph34r: ) hair that's about 2 feet shorter than it used to be, and I'm not depressed. Maybe she only sorta knew who I was.

Sounds like he did well with the insulin today, hope that continues :)

How you doing today? Know that must have been hard saying your goodbyes last night. Thinking of you!

Hi Theresa!

Nikki, how is everyone doing post-soup (did it all go down ok and agree with everyone?.... any crimes to report of any variety?!) :lol:

Have a good day everyone :)

OK, last night Lyle wakes me up around 2:30 for food. Fine. My fault. I clearly didn't leave out enough of what he wanted that night.

But then, this morning, I discover on my bedroom floor, a tail, with a bit of hind leg attached!

Clearly he had eaten dinner out, so what was the point of waking me up??? Dessert?

AND

I know for certain that spring is coming because my bedroom looks like a cat exploded in it. Fur everywhere. Heaven knows how many more tails are hidden beneath the clumps o' fur.

HAPPY LEPRECHAUN's!!!!!!!! (caught one jumping off me garden wall so I did!)

Wine and snickerdoodles.....a dangerous mix B)

Sounds like a balanced diet to me!! (um..what are 'snickerdoodles'?? ....do they 'snicker'?? :unsure: )

Suzalles kitteh boy/Weez love fest! :wub: (I love the jaunty 'hi!'!! :D )

Hoping Oliver is on the road to recovery soon :( (is he the big ginger fella??)

Yes, he is the 13-year-old, 22-pound, gentle ginger giant.

I am sitting at my desk, with some paperwork to do, and he is currently asleep on the desk. Photo to come...

Okay, now he's awake, but still on the desk.

My friends have been maintaining their kitty on insulin for several years now. He seems to be doing OK, and I'm sure Oliver will too.

. . . and it sure helps that Oliver's poppa knows what he's doin'!!!

All you cat owners wif dead animals (and bits) . . . amatuers I say!!! . . . My MaggieDog brought a live opossum into the house. When one of yer animals brings in something bigger and liver than a opossum, then you can bump MaggieDog from the top of the charts. She also used to kill moles in our yard. The neighbors always remarked how lucky we were to have her take care of any moles . . . yeah, right <_< . . . you would not believe the canyons she would dig to retrieve a mole . . . plus their weird lookin' :unsure:

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
    • asaT
      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.  
    • asaT
      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
    • nanny marley
      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again
