I have to learn a programming language. I'm doing the non-required but extraordinarily useful classes on line and what I've learned so far is that knowing English grammar is a disadvantage.

Hi everyone!

The squirrel baby didn't make it to the animal hospital, we were meeting the lady for the animal refuge at 4:30. The little one stopped breathing at 3:45. We buried him the back yard...We named him Tiny. He was so cute.

the story behind him...we had a squirrel eating away the siding up on our 2nd floor....we had no idea she had babies...and the baby fell out of the nest and we found it....and John put it back by where he fell so maybe his mom would come back....Saturday morning he was still there....and it had been a cold night..SO we took him in and got him warm and started to call around so he could get help. He was about the size of a matchbox car.....

sadly he is gone...but in a better place.

Jestgar Rising Star

aaww. He was awfully small. At least you tried. you did good.

Amanda, so sorry to hear about li'l Tiny. :(

:(:(:(

. . . but here is my squirrel news. I spotted him yesterday . . . a half albino squirrel . . . his tail is white and his body is probably a couple shades lighter than our regular squirrels (but not white) . . . talk about funny looking . . . and no, it's not paint.

Back to the blues . . .

She could chew blue bubble gum?

She could carry a bouquet of blue cotton candy?

Good morning, Psillies!

This morning in our local paper there was a big picture on the front page of hundreds of Chinese people squashed together in the Yangze River, trying to escape the 40+ C heat wave. I was suddenly picturing our Sooooozle and Pahteigh's faces amongst them.... .

:lol:

How about baby blue bra and panties? Really lovely, lingerie-type - - could be a late shower gift from someone, perhaps.... . . . . .

Darn210 Enthusiast

Anybody else have problems getting on today? I was shut out until just a little bit ago but I see that there was posting done whilst I couldn't get on. Anybody?

jerseyangel Proficient

I did hear of a couple people having problems getting on and posting. I haven't had any, though.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I finally got on!!!!!

mushroom Proficient

I quite often have that problem when I'm home and when I get back on find that everyone has been merrily posting away, but had no problem here in Nevada today. :mellow:

SILLS!!!!! Today, I took Janey for her cataract surgery, and whilst waiting, met the loveliest woman from Quebec.....we spoke for nearly an hour (broken French and English and....what in HELL is that accent? :unsure: She was correcting my prononciations, but, I have a perfect accent (my only talent), so I"ve always been told by Parisians, etc.........

Em - you MUST call me on the phone so that we can hash this out :lol: Chiennes - j'ai eu deux chiennes - I can't even tell you how she was saying "chiennes" - - - - :unsure: like "she-ayne" ?? when I have always learned "she-ENN-e"

:kind of a silent but pronounced "e" on last syllable, a gentle schwa, actually:

<rather certain everyone but Poeter and Slim Shady are bored with this discussion> :lol:

I am certain that the differences in prononciation from France to Canada are very much like what we have in the transition from Europe to the twangy South, but, I just don't have enough experience <in French> to discern?

That's it - I'm taking my babies and we are moving to trop chere Quebec for the rest of the summer ;)

This woman lives in - GET THIS - Chowchilla (after Palm Springs and Santa Rosa, nice areas) - - worst freaking Valley town EVER and people are moving there in DROVES - including a close friend of mine - to live on the golf course, in a tree-less, dairy-stink, flat, dusty town with NUTTIN' to do. Big horrifically ugly houses for 150K..........what in hell? :blink: And I do mean nuttin' to do there, just ask me mum, who married a man from Chowchilla (we pronounce it with a schwa - Cha-CHILL-ah, to make fun of it :ph34r: ) and told him, if we do not leave this town, I will dee-vorce you. They moved.

YAY! Mattresses everywhere! AND: we must bring respective dogs, cats and civckebs.... . . . .

:) yes, and squirrels, chillens, spouses. Going to be mighty crowded here. Must make sure everyone is quite drunk. *hic* :lol:

. . . but here is my squirrel news. I spotted him yesterday . . . a half albino squirrel . . . his tail is white and his body is probably a couple shades lighter than our regular squirrels (but not white) . . . talk about funny looking . . . and no, it's not paint.

um, we WILL need a pic of this mutated squirrel! and....is he stalking you? :lol:

Today I ordered on ebay actual Tahitian vanilla beans to give more fragrance to my products that don't already have enough vanilla scent. :wacko: And, to make my own scented oils - maybe. :huh: Plus, three tiny fragrance samples from yet another home-scent crafter. :ph34r: I am on the quest for the perfect and longest-lasting vanilla. What a colossal waste of time. :lol: Yet, I cannot stop.

I need help. I haven't met a vanilla I don't like.

      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

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?
    • catnapt
      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 🤔

      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.

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about  phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks
