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

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!

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.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana  
    • trents
      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
    • Theresa2407
      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.
    • KathyR37
      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
