something else happened too, but I'm too embarrassed to tell you guys.:ph34r:

HEY HEY HEY!! What's this, now?? Out wif it, Sooooze!

Psuess....was this stray devil cat perhaps a small Mexican Gardener Cat? :lol: They are not content to just stalk...like other mexican gardeners.....they are immoral enough to go after their prey :lol: ! Just kidding, really. I don't know why a stray would claim your house as territory and fight for it. Maybe it's an old pal from your Kit's old "hood". (He wasn't wearing "colors" was he?).

:lol::lol: Yes! This could be, in fact, the Hispanic Gardener's cat. ...... . the man is resorting to desperate measures to garner your attention, Sooooze....sickin' his big, mean cat on poor Skit.

Or an old rival gang member. . . .yes, T, a definite possibility. . . . .

Mygawd, they are probably having long conversations!!

"So. . ..... .. I guess you've heard that you're gonna be laying eggs for her".

"OH!! Tremendous news! We are not being fattened up for several dinners. Are you quite certain of that? And anyways...are you tricking us? Is this a ruse? You are a CAT, after all, and we are never to trust your kind"... .....

"Hey, it's cool. .... . ..she may cook you up when she's tired of the project, but for now, just keeps eggs comin' - -you should be good". . . ...

:rolleyes:

My last weekend as a thirty summat

Has the WILD DC (devil cat) COME BACK!!

Like a WHIRLING DERVISH smashing through the screen???.....por wee Skit skit :unsure::o

...but WIH's a 'wild cat'?????

I mean, we've got 'em in Scotland & other remote parts (bigger than domestic cats) but NEVER in built up areas

....Just watching a programME about some small islands off the coast of Cornwall UK .......called the SCILLY ISLES!!!!!!

SUPERB place for a summit I thought!!!!

NICOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are ya gonna git yer drunk on this weekend???????? grieving drunk, that is - drownin' yer sorrows :lol:

OMG - this Devil Cat - - we have feral cats all over the US :( they're domesticated, regular cats, but just homeless, roaming the streets. Very sad. We don't see too many around here, in my 'hood - I've seen one or two in the orchard but....all the big trees are gone now, new saplings but no place to hide.

Young Derek is replacing the screen as we speak, I am thrilled but........

it occurs to me that - even with sliding door CLOSED <_< , will Terrorist Cat STILL try to eat a whole in it, to get to my beautiful boy??????????? :o

NAH!!....Gay cats are NEVER ugly darling

gahhhhhhh :lol: no, preening and prancing, I imagine

<giggle> Is that it, Suz?

:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

yup.

well, not quite. I think the mission was aborted when Devil Cat came in. Skittle had begun the chewing of the buds - they have teeth marks in the little speaker covers now. :wub:

Yes, mommy left Ipod on kitchen counter - again. :ph34r: Thank God, it is still usable, though.

:lol:

:huh:

I'm such an eejit.

Skittle really had a night fer himseph last night, didn't he :o A little mischef makin' and all of a sudden a bully breaks in. :angry: Glad you're getting the screen fixed Suz, but yeah, I wouldn't leave the door open if I wasn't right there in the room. That cat will come back--they're creatures of habit.

I remember once in Jersey when Allo (I really miss him :( ) was a young whipper snapper. A squirrel appeared on our patio and in one fell swoop, Allo saw and sprang through the sliding glass door screen after him. Completely separated the screen from the side of the door! :lol:

Well, the phunny part was that when he got out there, the squirrel had run off and he just stood there like this :huh: The whole thing happened so fast, I couldn't react, so I watched as if in slow motion. :D

Nik--will you be tying one on this weekend in honour of yer birthday? If so, please post :lol:

Get a cheap babygate from Goodwill or sump'n. Put it up outside your screen door so he has to chew through two layers.

Hey gang! Had a GREAT day on the river today (my forehead, nose and chest are sunburned--I am soooo blonde).

What is this about my e-mail going all mental??? :huh:

I'm not sure :unsure:

I had 38 unread in my box when I got home today. Maybe it WAS full? But then again, I've had a s many as 64 in there before (in my box ;) ), without a problem.

Huh.

Try me again.

Suze has stray mountain lions eating her screen door and Skittles eating her ipod :( Tis so sad. I think having a rabid animal gnashing it's way through the door might just cure skit-dattle of a taste for music, though. ;)

Nik, Nik, drink yoself sick.

Loved the idea of a psilly summit on scilly isle :lol:

Patty, I have squirrels begging for food at my doorwall sometimes. Literally, sitting up--arms folded across chest--begging. Buttercat does not know what to make of such blatant disregard for her rule :ph34r: Max, however, considers it an invitation to play and has figured out how to open the screen on his own (just not how to CLOSE it :angry: ).

Shroom, loved your post. Larphed and larphed at your descriptions--poor old cold Shroomie.

So much to comment on. Must go get quotes. Anyone having a psilly cocktail this eve???

OMG, someone luvs me, someone cares, I feel very speshul :D:blink:

:wub: O'course, Neroli.

'mornin'

My roomie's back. Doesn't merit a 'poopy cow', but at least a mildly constipated calf. I really liked having my house to myself. Ah well. At least the lawn will get mowed.

Sposed to be a beautious day. Gonna put the wee chickies outside for the day. I think they'll be fine. I'll put the cat carrier in the pen so they can always huddle inside it in their cardboard box. The little white one is starting to get her grownup voice. It's a lot like puberty....peep peeep peeep cluuuck peeep. And I've realized that Lefty sounds a lot like a chicken when he talks so he must like sitting by their coop, not because he thinks it's a treat from KFC, but because he finally feels like he's found his peeps.

Does the roommate edge, too? :rolleyes: Sounds like you got a pretty good arrangement.

Sooo sorry about your father, Emily. Geez, can't the guy get some rest already???

You are right--no place like a hospital to make you sick :(

Maybe it's an old pal from your Kit's old "hood". (He wasn't wearing "colors" was he?).

Nik--will you be tying one on this weekend in honour of yer birthday? If so, please post :lol:

YES! More wildly entertaining drunken posts, puleeeeze! :lol: Nik, I believe your birthday is Monday....we cannot wait.

4:30. <_< Um, it'll be about 93 degrees then, and it's an outside barbecue. GadZOOKS. Soozle is not pleased about this.

Still don't know what in hell I"m wearing (but I AM wearring SUMPHIN, Em-n-Em, original Slim Shady *snoooooooort* :lol: :lol: )

Begging, bossy squirrels!!!!!!!!

Yes - mountain lions and ipod-chewing Skittles, Good Lord. Wee Skittle Kat has totally recovered from his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from that wolverine feral cat intruder. Derek fixed the screen yesterday, it's better than new, and I shut the door last night. Skit did some SERIOUS sniffing on the outside of the door area this morning - Devil Cat just may have made an appearance. :unsure:

Love the sound of yer river tour, Mimms. how fantastic!!!!

Just now I am hiding from the Mexican Devil Cat gardeners. :ph34r:

I wish they'd hurry up.

didn't I mention it? Formerly Rich White Men Trying to Be Hip :lol:

they've formed a fabulous, capricious honky-tonk band of some kind, it'll be great fun.

I just do NOT have anything good to wear, despite my shopping excursion of two days ago. Tunic top - lightweight cotton but long-sleeved - TOO bloody hot for this weather. :angry:

now what???????????????? do I have to run out and shop, with just 3.5 hours before the party?

bloody ridiculous. <_<

Where's Padt today? drowning in TexASS humidity?

gotta go sills - see ya later

Soooozle's roasting in her tunic at a posh barbeque...... . hopefully there will be at least ONE great-looking, unattached Rich Man Trying to Act Cool in that band for ya, Soooze. .. . .... ;)

Well, I am wacked out. The 5k was run in some real heat this year.......25 C, and the sun felt really strong for 5 pm.

I believe I am just getting too bloody old for this kind of nonsense. <_<

"Emily" is my undercover name which I use when I'm attempting to fight an assault charge or buy banned substances and/or alcohol.

I am also Llamalady. Thought I'd throw in another identity to really keep people off my trail. I am currently writing a new song about my clandestine experiences on this thread - - wait for it to hit the airwaves in the fall - - Llamas, Civckebs and Celiac Disease.

Yes, I second the motion--may Susan find the perfect catch man of her dreams tonight :)

:blink:

well, I'm back from my party, pholks.

'twas quite a strange party and don't make no sense and - it was a fundraiser of some kind but...we're not sure for what exactly :huh:

We got there at 4:40 - no food or drink ANYWHERE except beer for 90 minutes

:blink:

nothin. And, it was NOT in the posh country club itself.......um...........it was on this strange outcropping? I dunno what in hell else to call it - amidst the trees, mud, and piles of DIRT, about a mile or two away from any sort of posh-ness or real bathrooms. :unsure:

There was no food, no music, no beverage I could drink for TWO SOLID HOURS (we got there on time, 'twere a mistake). :blink:

Strange, strange party. We couldn't quite assimilate all of it. :lol:

some wealthy peeps (I would guess but who really knows), some formerly wealthy peeps (farming industry :( ), some wannabes, some urchins, some real cowboys, and many faux cowboys, and a few club boys (can not STAND the club boys)

Mine was the oldest and scariest car in the parking lot :lol:

Um, I am filthy, covered in dust, but finally DID eat and the band played - 'twas wonderful - Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline - good stuff.

this once again proves my new theory: nothing is ever as much fun as you think it's going to be

:lol: x 50 *snigger* (yet somehow I still had fun)

am now tired and cranky and with dried sweat and must head to bed...........but........

Soooozle's roasting in her tunic at a posh barbeque...... . hopefully there will be at least ONE great-looking, unattached Rich Man Trying to Act Cool in that band for ya, Soooze. .. . .... ;)

did nae wear the tunic but some crazy, full-length laotian maxi skirt - fastened with safety pins and belt - faux posh :lol:

Slim Shady did the 5K? Dang! makes me tired just thinking about it!!!

that really tickles me, also :lol:

Well sills, must head to bed........busier weekend than I normally have (um, consider that I NORMALLY stay home every single night of me life) :blink:

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
