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.

. . . 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?

Is the dress long? . . . blue suede shoes?

Here's a serious blue suggestion . . . some sapphire earrings (or some type of jewelry)

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.... . . . . .

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.

more later. Much later, like, in September, when it's below 106. <_<

Pretty well...I just stay in all the time :lol: The apartment is small, so the air conditioner does a nice job.

We went to this great outlet mall on Sunday (to die for....) It's not enclosed, though, and it was so hot out that I didn't even feel like shopping :lol: That's how you know it's hot :P

I ended up with a rolling pin and 3 pair of underwear......pitiphul <_<:lol:

Silleigh Leesargh. Me own mum doesn't like vanilla either. Yet today, I rammed my arm into her face and shouted "SMELL THIS!!!" and, she swooned. She really did. Said it was deliciously yummy. :lol: er sumphin like dose words. ;)

      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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      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.
