Where are me psillies???? :huh:

My life has returned to normal..........or closer than it's been in a looong time.

No more wedding planning, company is gone (my sis flew home today), work starts on Friday.

Drove to the airport, did me grocery shopping, returned my shoes that sounded like birds chirping when I walked <_< , returned huge containers of peanut butter and chocolate syrup that didn't get used at the reception, bought really cute sandals, went to the chiropractor, fixed a quick dinner, and talkin to me psillies before I watch So You Think You Can Dance.

Nothing planned for my last day off before going back to work.

<bigsigh>

^_^

For days I thought I was being followed by an invisible miniature duck, then I realized it was my new sandals.

OMG.....cannot believe this coincidence... I was wandering through the house this aft and kept hearing a funny little noise, like a squeaky bird or mouse. Kept checking my shoes, then anything with a motor - - the fridge, freezer.... . .....couldn't trace it. And it was kinda moving, like from one corner of the kitchen to the hall. The dogs were non-plussed.

Well..........MY bird noise turned out to be coming from:

A BIRD.

:huh:

<_<

Tess or Bryce must have brought him in. A li'l sparrow, flitting about under the living-room curtains. He seemed okay, but had a very small chirp.....guess he did not want to draw the dogs' attention. So I picked him up quite easily and put him out under the chestnut tree. He was gone five minutes later.

Can you imagine a chirpy bird sound, and it's coming from a bird? :lol:

Been thinking about you, Joooodie. Nothing is more stressful than a big move..... ... but hey, it will be all over soon and you'll be in your new abode, and right near your son! :)

Thanks Em, you'll all have to come West to see me. B) ifn' I gets me butt there :lol:

Yep, He'd do best with a man I think.

He got his name Velcro b/c it was like he was velcro'd to Jim's body.

when ever he moves, Velcro is right beside him.........me............he could care less, but i love him anyway

Ditto here- get better Max!

Em- The Ripper will have a GREAT time at camp- bet it will get his mind off everything.

How is Max doing? Have you heard from the Ripper Em?

Hey--I just had a thought. If we ever all get together, we should bring our squeeky phootwear and do a little musical number. Jess could choreograph the thing--it would be kinda like playing the bells :lol: Except wif our pheet :P

Morning Sillies

A very tired morning. Was up till 1 finishing things up- and then I got up at 5:30 for work...leaving at 11 to go north home to drop off fair goods, and then I am returning to my house tonight and going back up tomorrow with John for judging....

The baking turned out good. I am anxious to see. I am also entering my PB fudge. First time entering the cooking contests, but I figured the gals at work are still surviving after eating my food that it might be fair worthy LOL

Yes we can have musical pheet!!! Our own Phunny orchestra.

Thinking about all my sillies and hoping you are all good :)

Good luck at the phair, Amanda!!!!! :D

Max seems better. I have to take him in for a blood draw daily, until his 'crit stops dropping. It was at 20 yesterday, which is at the bottom of the 'watch and wait' criteria. I'm hoping it will be the same today. Max is certainly perkier, and licking his tuna juice with more enthusiasm.

I have 8 cans of different cat food open in my fridge, four different jars of baby food, and tuna. I've got a container of cooked chicken, and a bit of raw beef in there as well. I slept through last night's 1 am feeding, so just did the 4 am, and a bit more just now (about 6:30).

There's food splotches all over the floor. Four different platters to choose from. Water bowls all over. Lyle and Lefty are about as full as they've ever been in their lives.

Just another normal day for a crazy cat lady...

Sounds like the blood draw should bring good news--yer taking such good care of the lil' guy. Glad to hear he's perking up :D

Let us know.

Guess what crazy thing happened yesterday . . . OK, I'll tell ya 'cause you'll never guess . . .

When my In-laws were here over the week-end, we were doing a bit of driving around. We had gone out to the horse barn so that Skeeter could introduce them to BlackJack (the horse she uses for lessons). On our way back, we drove through a neighborhood that was in it's early stages about 8 years ago when we were looking to move. We loved the neighborhood but couldn't afford it and ended up where we are now. We hadn't been back to the neighborhood and seeing how it turned out, we're somewhat glad that we didn't move there. Anyhow, my (step)MIL didn't care for it at all and so when we left, I decided to take her through one that is really close to our house (I was driving). It's a beautiful neighborhood and well out of our price range and the model is GORE-JUSS!!! My MIL walked in and stopped dead in her tracks and said "It's Beautiful" . . . Well, now the in-laws are thinking about moving . . . they currently live in the Washington DC area. They have a smaller house but worth more because it's DC. They called yesterday to tell us and arrange for my MIL to stay with us because she has "planning" meetings with the builder. It's all contingent on selling their home and what they can get for it and what the new one will cost. Mum's the word to the chidlins . . . don't want to get their hopes up if it all falls through. Go figger.

. . . and just for the record, I'm OK with it.

Jess . . . glad Max seems better . . . hope the bloodwork proves it.

Man, would I evah LOVE to do that, Joooooodie. We've been talking about the southwestern US as a vacation destination for a while, now........... . .

Keep yer ears open for a knock on your new front door in the next couple o' years, will ya? :)B)

Patteigh! What a great idea. All squeaky footwear at the ready. For percussion, we could incorporate this new popping noise that is happening with my new overuse injury atop my foot. Anybody have any cracking knees? They would work well, too. OH! And if we wait until May, when my mold allergy kicks in, we'll have my whistling nose at our disposal.

Now, THIS could collaborate into a veritable symphony. . ........!

:lol:

I've got a container of cooked chicken,

:huh:

Um. . . ..........now, the civckebs haven't seen any of this, mehopes. . . ...

Are you kidding?? Jahgnutt, I was gonna put forward that your in-laws were suddenly trolling for a home in yer neighboUrhood.......honest! <_<:rolleyes:

. . . and just for the record, I'm OK with it.

Oh, thank gawd. . . .. ... . ....

If my MIL suddenly decided to move into an adjoining neighboUrhood. .......

Em!!! When you do take that trip to the southwest, you must include Houston! Youse can stay wif us and we can go to the space center--and PF Changs. You would love running on the trails here in town (early in the day, of course) ;):D And I have wine B)

Jan-it--that's great about yer in-laws....as long as you're ok wif it. How wonderful for the kids if it all works out. :)

In addition to squeeky shoes, I have a right big toe that will crack at will. Might be good for that perfect flourish at the end of a number :rolleyes::lol: Ya know, instead of a triangle, er sumphin.

I ate pizza :o :o :o:D :D :D

I went down a different aisle in the grocery store and walked past the gourmet freezer and there it was-- Amy's gluten-free pizza! While it was really fun to have pizza after three years, for $7 -on sale- it should have been a whole lot better....

The absolute truf--I was in the shower a few minutes ago rinsing off the color, cracked my toe, thought of you guys and broke out laughing. To myself.

Our grocery store has empty cardboard "six packs" where people can mix and match bottles of wine and easily carry them away. You come, and we'll get a couple o' those. :D

      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
    • Scott Adams
      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.
