Put a chicken in your pocket.

I made the mistake of giving J one of my chocolate Ktoos ( gluten-free Oreos). " so much better then Oreos! ". Now I must hide them. :(

No finals. I have to write a six page paper on the hidden Markov chain method. But I'm way too tired to start that. ;)

Funny! I have a couple who peck at my fingernails when I pet them.

To give the bigger chicks a little more room I put a big box in front of their cage with the side down so they can go in and out. They spent the first hour "daring each other to go in. One would stand on the edge of the cage and another one would dive bomb her from the top of the shoe box, shoving her outside. Then they'd all scream bloody murder and go running into the back of the cage. The it would start all over with a different brave soul standing at the edge.

Dear gawd.. . .this sounds exactly like the advanced senior residents that congregate around the pool at my mom's retirement home.... . .

You little devil!

Its just been pouring rain all day! :(

J is finished with high school, we hope! Don't really know until you open the envelope they give him Sunday at Graduation. ;)

Of course J will graduate and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Clark & I had a horrible time adjusting to Tony's leaving (especially since he rarely got in touch at first). Things improved over the year and today he's bringing his stuff (and his crush whom we love) home to drop off his stuff then go back up to Brown to get Bethany's things (crush) to store here over the summer - she's from Chicago. Then they're helping friends move their things to storage, What he doesn't understand is a tank of gas is $75 here and we're not paying it for him. I can't believe he's completed his first year. We're going to have a quick lunch at a restaurant that's hiring so hopefully they'll see something in him. He doesn't have paid job experience.

Lub,

I'm thinking they probably sound similar too. :lol::lol:

Havin' no chillins' o' my own, I don't understand this agony at getting your life back, but then maybe that's the reason why I opted out of wee babe in the first place.

Just how old do you have to be, to be an "advanced" senior resident?? Just want to know for when I get there :blink::ph34r: So I can understand my behavior with whatever amount of reasoning I have left :lol: Or maybe it depends on how many posts you have made (in which case Patteigh is over the top!)

You and me both. The getting life back part I understand; it's the agony I don't. Maybe it's the relief from agony??? :P But then they still seem to agonize, even when they's gone :o

P'raps parenthood draws those who enjoy the underlying feeling of unease and worry. :P

Many of them are well into their nineties... . . . ....so I'll say 90... ....my mom, at 83, is often the youngster in the crowd.

Harriet, a resident that my mom considers a real friend, turned 105 last week. They threw a big party for her in the lounge. She told me that one of the main reasons she has lived so long and remained SO physically and mentally fit is - - no surprise - - her insistence on having humoUr in her life, every day. She has the Comedy Channel on her TV throughout the day, reads funny books and has always searched out witty, amusing characters to interact with. It is her mission; to laugh loud and long every single day. Isn't that something? :)

Here is a senior prank we here at C.com will appreciate.

J's class painted a toliet shiny gold. They installed it with a cement base in the courtyard by the senior lockers. The class speech yesterday had the words "poop" & "poopy" in it at least 6 times.

I saw a picture and it was truly a splendid throne. I am thinking gold toliets may become the style for Psillies everywhere.

All systems go at our house today :) Scaffolders here and have already got up to the point of peering in my bedroom :o and bathroom :blink: - gonna have to change some habits for the next week or so (no window coverings in bathroom), although they can't see the throne.:ph34r: Lead scaffolder is a BIG Maori fellow with braided dreadlocks tied in a high ponytail. He still has his jacket on so I can't check for tats, and I don't care about his thumbs - definitely not my type.

And tonight Rolf (he of the heavy Teutonic accent) arrives. Hub will have to wear his hearing aids or he will never understand him. Sounds like a very nice fellow, and he will be bedding down with us for the week while he saws apart and rebuilds our Tulikivi fireplace :D. I have stocked up on wurst and sauerkraut and am making German potato salad :lol: - have to keep him happy :)

All this courtesy of the Earthquake Commision for which we pay an additional $70 per year on our house insurance. They pay up to the first $100,000 damage (which we certainly don't have but many do). and up to $20,000 on contents. Bet they go bust on this quake which is estimated to cost $30 billion, but that includes all the infrastructure and the program doesn't cover commercial insurance.. Even Warren Buffet has been called in on his reinsurance :o

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.
