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:

:lol: :lol: civckeb talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

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

: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???

mimommy Contributor
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.

Pubescant Peepers :lol::lol::lol:

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?).

Em-n-Em

Saw her down on 8 Mile today :lol::rolleyes: Sorry, was that an "I guess you had to be grow up there"?

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. <_<

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

"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 decided to use it here, with profile pics of some woman I downloaded from google images.

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 am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @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.
