The chicken is adorable. I even like the big bug. :ph34r:

You know how you change one thing in your house & you have to change 6 more things? I got some new curtain valances for the kitchen. Was so happy that I found what I wanted at the first store I went to! Came home & realized the old curtain rods wouldn't work for these.

So now we have to take the old ones down, find new ones we like (Hub has some idea of what he wants so I will let him find them). After taking down the old ones, we realize we have to patch & repaint!

After that, we will probably realize the rest of the kitchen is woefully inadequate!

Yes. Thank goodness we only have a 3 car garage! We might have more!

1 driving college kid. That car only visits. 1 kid learning to drive & fixing up a car with Dad. My van, Hub's car & hub's toy Miata.

A reason to go to New Zealand?

Ah yes, this one was a biggie! But there are many species of weta, some of them near my home. If I hadn't already been sitting on the toilet I would have wet my pants when I found one in the house I was housesitting at the time - they are protected (to a certain extent, because those were the guys I was telling you about that are eaten at the Wild Foods festival :o )

Whilst this may appear to be a fearsome creature to encounter, just remember that we have no snakes or deadly spiders :D

How about a double-yolker? That would be fun. Can silkies do that??

I get a lot of double yolkers. I keep them in a separate carton 'cuz they're so big. I'm not sure my little silkie would be able to squeeze out anything as big as a double.

It's December 11th!

Eighty years ago on this date, Canada ceased to be a part of the British Empire, and became an independent country ruled by a democratically elected Parliament comprised of Canadians. Let's celebrate!!

Most Canadians are too distracted by the event of July 1, 1867, to realize that the truly important date was December 11, 1931. Confederation, in 1867, merely created a mega-colony, The Dominion of Canada, which was an umbrella government over the four colonies which became the original provinces.

But then, who wants a National Holiday two weeks before Christmas, when you can have one in the summer? :rolleyes:

oh, i don't know. How 'bout we cram a bunch of holidays into December and declare the whole month as party time?

Yesterday I hiked the Open Original Shared Link. It's 5 miles out to the end and you get a tour of the Open Original Shared Link given by Open Original Shared Link.

It was very peaceful and I saw a snowy owl who has hanging out looking for snacks.

I should have headed down to Parliament Hill to see if the feds had any celebratory goings-on lined up.......

Maybe Bob and Doug were down there, doing some public musing......

Saw your pics on Da Book, Jyessss.... . .. ..fantastic! B):)

Heeeeeeeyyyyyy . . . I saw my first Snowy owl last weekend. They don't normally come this far south. People are driving in from all over to take a gander because it is so rare (from what one of my birding friends said, this is like the third time in 10 years that one has been sighted and hung around long enough for people to travel to see it.) I was fortunate to only have to drive 45 minutes to see it. Last time (3 years ago?) the birders here were driving about 2 1/2 hours to go see one.

Happy 11-12-11 Peter and Em!!

Just talked to J at Call- lugge. He said the cafeteria food is labelled gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian. The best food is the gluten-free because they take extra care when they make it. Everyone can have it, too. They make the best gluten-free chocolate cake. Everyone loves it!

kareng Grand Master

This is un- Psilly but I guess this is where to put it.

My mom has some heart issues. A Fib occasionally and an aortic heart valve that functions at about 30%. We have been managing this and we're planning to enroll in a study of a percutaneous replacement valve.

Tuesday night, she had a stroke. At first, it didn't look too bad. Then Wed, she had some odd heart emzymes and a bleed was showing up in her brain. As of today it seems she isn't as bad as it looked yesterday. It appears her left arm, leg and side of her face are affected. She has some movement. The Rehab doc saw her this evening. He thinks she can regain most of her function with rehab.

Anyway, that's what's been going on here.

mushroom Proficient

Oh Karen, so sorry about your mom. But somehow I have good feelings she is going to pull through just fine. I sure hope so. Thinking of you.

jerseyangel Proficient

Oh Karen, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's stroke. Sending healing thoughts and strength to her. Keep us posted and take good care.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
    • nanny marley
      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again 
    • trents
      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
