Is Ollie on the web site? I looked for him but didn't see him. You psillies are really making me want a kitteh!

jerseyangel Proficient

Jess, is there a pic of wee Ollie? What does he look like?

Jestgar Rising Star

He's not on the web. He's also Maine Coonish (with the most adorable chirp :wub: )

He looks a bit like Open Original Shared Link, maybe a little darker.

Had a lovely time!!

You's all are makin me sad, I can't have kitties... even when I try to take medication every day after a while I end up with such bad asthma I can't do anything. :( I love kitties.... But someday I'll have an apartment or house where I can have a dog, and I'll find me a rescue hair dog! I want a floppy one. With big floppy ears and big paws. :wub:

My Cooper has big floppy ears and large feet but fur not hair. I was determined to get a light colored one and a girl. Got another black boy dog. Eh! Didn't get him for me, got him so my then 12 year old would not be depressed. It worked and he's sweet.

Aw, BunBun, the time will come and that doggie will be all the more precious. I see a King Charles Spaniel in your future :D I remember all those years of apartment (no pets) living and desperately wanting kittehs, had had them all my life (they got me a kitteh when my little brother was borned because he was so sick and took all me mum's time. and I was just a wee thang.) So me and my kitteh went everywhere together :wub:

I actually want a much bigger dog than that. Maybe a labradoodle? I have no idea, I will probably go around looking for a rescue pet when the time comes. I just know I want a big floppy hair dog!

Some Labradoodles are showing up in rescue around here. You'll get one when the time is right.

Well have a nice time tonight Bun. I used to get very tired at that time of the month too--something I do not miss at all :D

Me neither! Only......extremely tired anyway <_<

I think it's been worse since my multi-vitamin has been discontinued :(

Going to see about getting my vitamin levels checked this week. And I need to spend some time searching for a better replacement than what I am currently using.

Starting up salsa lessons again :D The Beginner salsa 2 class was cancelled halfway through....waited for the next one to come around.....nobody showed. So the instructor suggested I try the intermediate class.....he said he was certain I could handle it. Found out later it was intermediate 3! Challenging but fun :D

Jewelry class was filled, but another one should be starting soon :)

Good luck with the new realtor Patteigh!

Is Jan-knit visiting Bev-or-leigh????? :huh:

Jess is getting kitteh(s)!!!!

Sounds like you're having some fun. Post a pic of the jewelry when you make some. I wonder if we have those classes here? I might like that.

Hi Leesiugh! :D

The only vitamin I've tried that I can tolerate is the Everyday Multi by Kirkman Labs. I would rather not have to send away for them, but there wasn't much choice and I was wasting a lot of money on ones that I couldn't use.

I think Jan-it and Bevvy are hoping to meet up whilst Jan-it and her phamily are there. Hope so :)

Are you done wif school fer the summer? So happy to see you're planning on the jewelry class!!

curlyfries Contributor

Are you done wif school fer the summer?

Yup....been out for a couple of weeks.

I'll check your vitamins out. Mine had some pretty high doses of certain vitamins and was pretty cheap.....bought them at Wal-mart.

I saw on Phacebook that DS was interviewed on KTRE whilst picking blueberries at a blueberry festival. Did you see him Patteigh? B)

Well, my fat a$$ had a great time at the party yesterday and I just ate myself into oblivion! Why not add to the arse?! The cakes went over great, my mom cried when she saw hers. She said she couldn't remember the last time someone made her a cake :o It shall be my mission from now on to make sure she always has a beautiful cake for her birthday!

We cannae go out and enjoy this amazingly beautiful day because the kids were rolling down the grassy hills in my mom's backyard for hours yesterday and now poor Max's phace is all swollen and red and his eyes look like they've been bleeding! I gave him some Claritin, so we'll see how long it takes to work :(

Maybe: "Middle School Boys Locker Room"

That'd do it fer me!!

Yep

:lol::lol::lol:

That's what I thought <_<:P

'k janit. mebbe when you come back from vacation you cn borrow one a Ra-chel's fat a$$ outfits

Sure! Apparently I have quite the selection :rolleyes:

Stopped at paws and filled out an application for Bilbo. He has a fungal infection so he's probably two weeks out, which is fine, and also met Oliver :wub: :wub: . I told the lady that if Ollie is still around when Bilbo is ready, that they should put them together and see if they get along. If they do well (not just ignore each other) then I would consider them both.

Well of course you had to get 2--I really want one and I can't have one and I LURVE the name Ollie, so he must me the kitten-britches that I cannae have so he must live with you!! :D

Jewelry class was filled, but another one should be starting soon :)

I shall live vicariously thru you! I wanna take some classes like that!! Maybe when Max starts school....

Sniff! Sniff! I can't remember the last time anyone made a cake for me... Seriously, I think it was 1990.

Jestgar Rising Star

oh honey. If I had a kitchen I'd whip you up something and pop it in the mail. Wouldn't look nuthin like R'shell's, but, whatevah.

My lovely FIL and wife are coming back into the country to "settle things" in thier house here. They expect we and other son who lives in town will come help them put a 7000 sq foot house's contents in storage and will take the things they don't want and be grateful for them. :blink: They have been out since Nov but left pantry items as well as most of the furniture, etc. :blink: I have decided to take whatever good stuff I can get and give it away. (Hub agrees). Not sure what FIL will think of this but if my family must help, we should be able to do what we want with the stuff he is getting rid of. My neighbor's mom has some of her students families she helps & will get me a wish list. Hopeing we get some good stuff!

Wouldn't mind so much but the only time he ever called us, even when living 3 mile away, was if he wanted a favor.

Thanks for letting me vent! Matt's back from camp & they had a day of silence. To help them not talk, they had a little stick you could put in your mouth (think dog with bone hanging out). Will be borrowing that this weekend.

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol
    • deanna1ynne
      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.
