Thought maybe we could all use a phunny story.....

A SHORT LOVE STORY

A man and a woman who had never met before, but who

were both married to other people, found themselves assigned

to the same sleeping room on a Trans-continental train.

Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room,

they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper

berth and she in the lower.

At 1:00 AM , the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,

'Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into

the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold.'

'I have a better idea,' she replied 'Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married.'

'Wow! That's a great idea!', he exclaimed.

'Good,' she replied, 'Get your own f***king blanket!'

After a moment of silence, he farted.

The End

So, the agonizing wait for the vet's call.. . . . ....then we likely have some agonizing decisions to make.. .. . . .... ...

Yuck. Not a great fiscal year. . . ....!

I'm so sorry Em. I went through this with Max who had cancer after a year of living with me. The best I could come up with is that, if he was destined to have only one year left to live, I'm very glad it was with me where he was loved and pampered, and not in a kennel or a shelter where he was just another box on a list.

I don't know why our friends sometimes have to leave us so soon after coming into our lives, but I do know that young master Charles needed you, and you were there for him when he called. Whatever happens next is OK. You have done the right thing.

ok, so, if you ever want something sweet, but don't have anything your house, do NOT munch on those fruit flavored fiber crunchies. :ph34r: :ph34r: I'm just sayin'

on the up side, I feel really.......skinny...... :blink::P

When I was in high school we adopted the cutest pomeranian, his name was Chuck :P, anyway, after a year, Chuck started having really bad seizures, multiple times a day. I had already left for college, so it was my sweet mama who took care of him for me. Thank God for that woman. Chuck became her baby, he needed her as much as she needed him. He only lived about 7 years and developed diabetes in his last few years, so he was getting shots of dilanten and insulin multiple times a day. As hard as it was to take care of him, she wouldn't have traded him for the world. I know if he had ended up with another family, they wouldn't have cared for him the way she did. Ah, crap, now I'm crying again :rolleyes:

No phone call today. Tomorrow, methinks. .. .......

Emily, take heart that dogs can fully recover from heart worms. What can harm a dog, is to give them heart worm preventative, while having active heart worms. You're in a better place, for recovery.

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Had to log on to check on Charles.........no phone call yet, Em? Crap.......I'd be ringing them off the hook. (am known to be psychotic over my pets)

But - your situation has prompted my visit to vet on Friday morning.....I have never given my animals/dogs heartworm medication :ph34r: Stinker lived a full 14 years (cancer survivor, but never any heartworm, AND I didn't give her ANY shots for the last 10 years of her life, except rabies, after her chemo - she was fine)........so I'm thinking I am a bad mother. Weezee's annual checkup this week and I WILL be starting her on heartworm meds.

Praying for Charles :wub:

Hey, where is Gianknit? And how is JoDog doing, and Skeeter and Smack? Do I have to go back 20 pages to find out?

:o Thanks Lisa - I did not know this - having all blood work done Friday........Weezee has been running nearly every day for the past six months with her new "pack" in a ponding basin with kind of a........swamp in the middle, filled with sludge and duck/geese poop (and sperm pollen :lol: )........no telling what she can pick up there.

I DO know that dogs can recover from heartworm - but it's costly :(

Mornin' sills.....

Thinking about Em and wee Charles this morning.

Gloomy day here today--drizzle that is supposed to continue through the weekend. Ah well, we've had a spectacular run lately--80 during the day and cool nights.

Yes, WIH is Jan-it?? Am I going to have to go over to FB and phind her? :P

Ok then.....(tumbleweeds....)

Suze: My dog gets a leperosporosis vaccine. It's something nasty in standing water.

Trying to reply from my iPad & it dosen't work well with this forum. I think I will name my iPad Maxi.

Robotics is going well so far. Some guest in the hotel kept complaining about the kids. They were asleep for hours and he kept calling the desk to complain. Robot working well so far.

Darn210 Enthusiast

Hey, where is Gianknit? And how is JoDog doing, and Skeeter and Smack? Do I have to go back 20 pages to find out?

I'm here, I'm here . . . I've been on to keep caught up, but just busy and haven't posted.

The project from hell has been completed and turned in . . . next up is the presentation. They've been going on all week. Skeeter is scheduled to go tomorrow. They are suppose to talk for 5-7 minutes. The teacher times them on a stopwatch. Can you believe it?? These are 8 and 9 year olds!!! . . . Now in the interest of fairness, if they haven't talked long enough, the teacher asks them some leading questions about some of the info they've presented so that they'll keep going. Can't wait to be finally done. The good news is that the man that Skeeter interviewed gave her some horseshoes for part of her presentation and he told her she can keep them . . . GOODY!!! Rusty HorseShoes!!! . . . but Skeeter is grinning from ear to ear about 'em.

I joined Weight Watchers this week. I have a bet with a friend that I would lose 25 pounds by October 1st. It was made last October and so far I have lost nada . . . so I figured if I want to have any sort of chance, I better get started. Soooooooooo, Jess, what are these fruity fiber crunchies of which you speak? :rolleyes:

Em . . . so sorry to hear about Charles. And I do know that it is recoverable . . . and expensive. Did you say you got him at a shelter? They may be able to help you with the cost . . . at least get you whatever drugs for a reduced price since it does sound like he had them when he was there . . . just a thought. What will be, will be and whatever happens, he's had a good home.

More later......tax stuph to do :angry:

Hey . . . you've got till midnight . . . what's the big hurry??

Good Luck KareInn!! (and to yer boyz, too!!)

Oh . . . also needed to report that we have jumped on the Udi's Bread Bandwagon here!!! OMG!!! MUCH better than anything else out there. It just recently arrived at a local Whole Foods . . . and pricing wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The crust is . . . edible!!!! Trying to pace Skeeter so that she doesn't become a total bread junky . . . she never was before her diagnosis . . . and certainly not since . . . but she's had three slices of bread today. That's more than she usually has in a week.

jerseyangel Proficient

So jealous about the Udi's! My Whole Foods has their complete line--looks so good but I'm really intolerant to tapioca. <_< Gives me the worst stomach pain and a oddly dry mouth :unsure:

Ugh....drenched in sweat :P ....all of a sudden the TV and internet stopped working this afternoon. I know how to re-boot the TV, no prob, but I couldn't get the internet to connect so I called Comcast.

The girl has me take the battery out of the router, and when I put it back a minute later the home security alarm starts ringing. The phone at this point is dead, Mark is getting on a plane in an hour and is out of touch and I'm standing here like an idiot.

Somehow, the phone rings and it's ADT asking is everything is ok. I'm so glad they called, I almost start blubbering. :lol: After giving the proper ID, she connected me with a tech who helped me re-set the unit.

I'm exhausted :huh:

Darn210 Enthusiast

Oh . . . forgot to mention . . . no vomitous episodes from Skeeter for the last two weeks (although I am expecting one within the next few days). I'm beginning to think that this is just the way she is when she has had a long term glutening (I told you guys that I found something she was ingesting, right?) . . . and that when it happens, her system has to be rebooted. Now it seems that Patti has become an expert on rebooting systems, so next time, I shall just call Patti instead of visiting any a$$hat doctors.

Yeah, a modern house with all the gizmos, when you're not a techie, is a real pain in the butt when things go wrong, go wrong, go wrong.

:(:lol: (Sorry, shouldn't laugh, but sometimes this non-techie makes more sense about things than techie spouse who "thinks" he knows it.)

Gianknit, I'm sure Skeeter will do just fine. Mothers always worry so... :D

Eminem, have been thinking all day about Charles and keeping my fingers crossed for you all.

Hee! I pheel very empowered now! of course an hour ago I was close to losing it...

About Skeeter, Jan-it--I also sort of go through a re-booting, so to speak--after a gluten reaction. I missed what she was eating that got her, but if she ate it over and over (not realizing) it might just be her system getting back to normal slowly. I don't vomit, but I get bloating and trapped gas (lovely visual, I know :rolleyes: ) that can continue on for weeks afterwards. Her reactions may be changing too, which I understand can happen over time. Mine have, I know that.

Am I mistaken, or did a good few people report reacting to Udi's bread from gluten contamination?

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily. 
    • xxnonamexx
      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.
