What does he have to say about it? I imagine he's none too pleased at the prospect of losing you.

Y'all know about the new baby adoption....found under the cabbage leaves hosta plants. We have been struggling with the name. Not so easy when you need to hash it out between 2 people. Proud papa is just as picky as me as far as names go! I'm leaning toward Merry Pippin (play on Mary Poppins... and because she is merry.....and because she's such a Pip!!), but looks like it may be Sunny. We rejected names like Ginger, Lulu, Sasha, Sarah, Alice, (where did he get that from?), Happy, Joy and so many others. Any suggestions would be welcome. We are so in love with this baby! I tell her so often that she must be gentle....she probably thinks her name is Gentle! :lol:

Pond denizens are all fat and happy. Have learned that the water skimmers (bugs that "walk" on the water) are dangerous to fish as they inject a toxin in them. I watched them attack a moth that landed on the water and couldn't fly out (wet wings). Fascinating. I've been busily scooping them out and flinging them out into the yard, hoping that they die a quick but painful death. Amazing how fast they multiply...this could be a new hobby for me (oh, how exciting!).

Em-n-Emmmmmm.....I'm sure you're going to have a great (if exhausting ) time with your friend! Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Have a wonderful day everyone......only good things allowed to happen today.

I stole acquired an adult cat one time. I asked her what her name was and started offering up possibilities. When she rubbed against my leg and purred, I figured that must be her name. Never did find out how she came to be named "Spider", but who I am I to question her?

I never thought to ask her what her name was!!! Figgered she wasn't old enough to know!?! Spider is pretty unique, I must say. Maybe because of the web of love she weaved? Hope yer havin a good day toodae!

BTW....I love your Av!! That manic gleam in the eye...that demand to have his own way.....tres kool!

T--watch her and see what she seems to want to respond to. We actually changed Allo's name early on since he seemed to like it better than his "given" name. Of course, it could have been my tone of voice......but I prefer to remember it that way :rolleyes:

I do like "Sunny", though. Seems very suitable for a wee kitty that was found under a leaf. Your kitty looks practically identical to me son's newest--and they named him "Philip" :P

So go figgure.....

Oh, I wish. . . . .....not great things today, I am afraid. :( Overnight my dad has fallen worse - -they are suspecting that he may have had a small stroke. When I saw him today he was sleeping the whole time, and has apparently been doing so since they tried to rouse him early this morning. So, they are calling with updates.... . . . . ..

Tareeeesuh, why don't you name your li'l wee one Leslie? :huh:B) 'Tis my dad's name. I actually am kidding, but when I was reading your attempts at finding a name, I of course kept thinking of him, and suddenly remembered that his name is good for male or female creatures. .. .....

Sunny is lovely.

Oh Em. I hope your Dad sleeps peacefully through his recovery and wakes up with all the joy, and none of the pain he started this hospital venture with.

Man, we have to meet. Just reading Rayechull's fab, uplifting post, and thinking about how you guys have become such close friends, I suddenly feel a surge of urgency, of a real want like never before to congregate with you all, somewhere, somehow. A lot of this is coming from my sadness re. Dad, but nonetheless I've realized how you have all become a real part of my life. . . . .....incredible. You were the first people, after my immediate family, whom I went to and spilled about my dad.

Thanks for being here, you hilarious, wonderful lot. :wub::wub:

Jyess, you need to tell yer boss to p!ss off.

Sorry, I'm just takin' no prisoners right now. . . .. . . .

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
