You rang? Have been thinking bout a rhyme for today. May have to borrow one for inspiration:

The Man Not Taken

:lol::lol: Bevel! Mr. Frost would be most impressed. . ....!!

Buh-kneeeeee......okay, good, the itchies have dissipated. Hmm......... . .. ...ya look like a scary thang, though? I say you go to work. It will be amusing to see people's reactions. . . . ....

:huh:

:unsure:

:lol: Amanda! I was awoken from a sound sleep this morning at 6:15 to the sound of Allo peeing in the corner of my bedroom all over the carpet. <_< I went to scoop him up and take him to the litter box, but as I got out of bed, I had a sudden charley horse in my calf and stumbled. I think the poor thing is losing it :(

Patti, get his kidneys checked. He might just need supplemental fluid.

:( Poor ole Allo

We think our mean girl cat (Lucy) has dementia :huh:

A phormer meticulously clean cat, she has taken to peeing on Daniel's bed (he is not terribly happy with this new trick of hers <_< ) .....but also, everytime I move she trots out to the phood bowl, meows pitiphully for more .....until I remind her she just ate :rolleyes:

She's all...'I just ate???.....really????.....ugh!...I'm getting SOO phat'

5 minutes later we go through the WHOLE process again :rolleyes::lol:

Nik!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allo does this very same thing! He acts desperate for phood at times, whining pitifully--and this is a kitty who has never wanted fer his next meal :lol::(

It's tough watching them getting old--Allo's also lost weight and you can tell his arthritis is bothering him.

Jess--he does drink his water, we put ice cubes in to entice him since he really likes it that way. I give him fresh several times a day, and keep a good eye out since we lost a cat years ago to kidney disease :( The minute he stops drinking, I'm on it.

Gawd, poor Daniel.....can he keep his bedroom door closed when not in use?

:lol: ER SUMPHIN ......for sure

Forgot to mention -- last evening, the camera guy started the piece by taking a close shot of the pic in my av, and then cutting to my parents sitting beside each other as they give each other a kiss. He asked them at one point, "Hey! Do you two think you could replicate the pose in your beach photo? I could cut from it to you, doing the same thing, same position, sixty-odd years later".........

Dear gawd. I am SO relieved to say that it was not considered something that they would even think of attempting.

:lol::lol::lol:

Have I told you about our IBTC?.....That's the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. I think I left what little bit I had left back in Houston. :rolleyes: Why not.....Brian left part of himself in Houston!

You bet your bippy!!!.......Haven't heard that in a looooong time.......although to be historically correct, it should be..."you bet your sweet bippy"!!.....Where did that originate from, anyway?

Tinkerbell will often cry to be fed when she still has food in her dish, so I just move the food around with my fingers so she can hear it, and she's happy. She's real picky though....when she eats, little pieces fall back into the dish, as she doesn't eat the pieces whole. She won't eat those pieces <_< ..........does anyone know of a cat that will only eat tiny pieces?.......I'd sell 'em real cheap!

Can't remember who else to comment on........everyone's been absolutely heelarious!........still don't quite feel psilly enough to comment on them all........but I'm workin on it!

Grrrrrr........haven't been on in days and what do you know..........I get a phone call! <_<

      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.  
    • Wheatwacked
      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.
