There is a bit of sadness in the house. Due to escalating problems, we had to send Bagheera back on Friday morning. The difficult and heartbreaking decision came on Thursday. He is such a sweet and loving little guy who gets along wonderfully with humans. Unfortunately, it seems that he needs to be in a one-cat household. :(:(

This brings me to other very sad news that I must mention to you, my dear friends. Our beautiful, dear rescued standard poodle, Charlie, is no longer with us. Such a sad tale, and I am still grieving.

:( My gosh, I'm so sorry to hear this :( My phriends, we can do the best we can wif the very best of intentions, but sometimes for whatever reason it just can't work out. Heartbreaking. Em and PeOter, (((warm hugs))) to you both along wif Jacquie and Em's family. I'm really sorry :(

Oh Emmy, I'm so sorry. I guess your dad needed a dog and figured one trained by you would be the best kind.

Yes! Jyesss, an absolutely perfect thing to think. :) :) I must tell the kids this.

Sorry for this Peter. :( A one-cat cat in a multi household is an unhappy mix for everyone. You'll find the perfect kitty and Bagheera will find a home where he can be the most spoiledest cat around.

Peter, Jacquie, Em - so sorry for your losses. You all did your bestest to beat the odds and make loving homes for stranded/abused pets, but sometimes it doesn't work no matter what you do. Those who mistreat animals are the lowest forms of life and deserve the same treatment themselves. As for Bugheera, I'm with the others - he will find a one-pet household and flourish, I am sure. Such a cutie :wub:

Are you doing the floor and the backsplash? You will do really well. The hardest part is getting the base, especially a floor, smooth and flat. The tile part is easy, especially with a mathematical mind. Put up pics for us!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th!! Fireworks went on here till about 2am. Earplugs only work so well.... Today I have a sugar hangover...Those cookies I said I shouldn't make, well I ate about 1/2 a batch of those and a red/white/blue cherry tart that was TDF!!!!! pics of both on the blog. I'm eating nothing but egg whites and veggies today!

Well guys, believe it or not, my admitting physician was Dr. John Hung :lol: , and I think he must have changed his name to compensate for the tiny thumbs, like little matchsticks they were :rolleyes:.

Heee!! We have a Dr. McGivor and a Dr. Klotz. People are afraid to have McGivor, but I figure he can fix anything, even if it's with a paperclip and some rope :P Dr. Klotz delivered Max. I still get a kick out of his name :rolleyes:

POeter, I am so sorry to hear this. A beautiful little kitten like Bagheera will find a new home quickly, for sure.

This brings me to other very sad news that I must mention to you, my dear friends.

Well, after SO much work, so much obedience training, desensitization and counter-conditioning, he still had a long way to go. Last week he suddenly bit Jack, and we knew that was it.... ..the final straw.

He was such a big, beautiful, loving animal. . . ..but some horrid, poor excuse for a human being mistreated him for the first five years of his life, and forever scarred him.

So sorry Peetah and Em for your losses. They were lucky to have you, even if only for a short time :wub:

Well, psillies.....ya better sit down.

I'm just gonna come right out and say it.......

Yesterday, Brian and I were in a motorcycle accident. We're ok. I have a broken arm. We both have road rash and bruises. Brian's ribs are bruised. My arm is strapped to my body for 6 weeks.

Some idiot pulled out of a parking lot, intending to get into the center turn lane. Trouble was....another car was already there. So she stopped in our lane.

Good news is......I'M STILL GOING TO CHICAGO!!!!!!!! :D

I got a friend to go with me. ;)

See you soon, Em! :wub:

But BOOOOOOO on that accident -- Leeeese, we don't want you riding motorcycles anymore... . . . .. :unsure:

It is so fantastic that you are still coming. Cannot wait for this - -it will be the event of the summer for me. Like when Patteigh and Mark met Will and I in Philly, our hotel again has free fancy cocktails and hors d'ouevres from 5 to 7. I say we just sit in the comfy loungers and get pissed. Leeese, you'll forget all about yer arm strapped to yer side.. . .

Um, speaking of which - - you're not the one driving, are you?? :unsure:

Dang it Lisa! Not sure if you should run out and buy lottery tickets, or stay away from earthquake zones.

I hope you and your friend are taking a car to Chicago.

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc. For the holidays...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By EndlessSummer · Posted

      I only notice recently every time I eat green beans the roof of my mouth gets slightly itchy and I get extreme dizziness.     I get shaky and sweaty and it last for an hour or two before it goes away. I’ve been allergy tested in the past for food allergens only two came back positive (both in the tree-nut family) nothing in the legumes.   (I do have a celiac disease diagnosis, the reason I was food allergy tested was because I ate a walnut and my lips swelled up)  I decided to test this out to be sure so I ate a couple of cooked green beans last night within 15 minutes I was spinning, my shirt drenched in sweat. My heart racing.   I’m not sure what this is, I do have issues with others vegetables  as my stomach doesn’t seem to tolerate them. Even when they’re cooked I just can’t digest them but they never made me as dizzy and sweaty as the green beans.    anyone else experience this?

Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
