Your kittehs are soooo thoughtful :)

When my kitteh was just a wee kitteh, she could only use the litter box one time . . . then it was "full" and all the litter was piled up on one wee turd.

My kitteh is so long that she poops in one end of the box, and scoops the litter from the other end, which doesn't come anywhere near the little parcel she just delivered. :blink: Has never got the concept of turning around :rolleyes:

Hello Dear Psillies,

Long time no see. I took a nasty fall down our hard wood stairs. The only thing stopping the fall was my face and the landing. I stayed in the house for over a week because I didn't want anyone to think Superman was beating me up (make-up made it look worse). I think it was Lex Luther who pushed me.ph34r.gifph34r.gif I finally went to the movies twice over the weekend. I highly recommend both movies that we saw: Snow White and the Huntsmen and Prometheus. Both long movies but the time flew. Now we're going back and watching all of the Alien movies. It seems to be taking forever for the bruise to heal and we o to NJ for our vacation July 5th. Trying to set up as many play dates as possible. There's a lovely small Mall (I don't like the large one down Rte 1). I feel like I'm setting up audiences (I'm reading Game of Thrones too much). was pleasantly surprised how many of my friends want to meet me. We're having dinner at our gluten-free friend's house the day we arrive (the 5th). I meet my friends the 6th (Superman has to make plans for the day - he's got dinner plans). I'm hoping to have dinner at PF Changs. Saturday Rob is being treated to a Roger Waters Concert with his oldest friend (from high school) and I'm sleeping at a girlfriends house. Sunday we're having brunch with my brother and SIL (it's a shorter drive from Va to Princeton than it is to RI).

The tourist season has begun here and our quiet town gets crazy with renters (and sucky drivers). It is good for the businesses. If I get to the beach by 9 it's not packed. Westerly has two private beaches but thee's nothing to stop anyone from walking down from the State beach (very crowded). There are a lot of wonderful free events (movies on the beach, blues, jazz, and more things that I don't remember).

Even though I haven't posted I have managed to keep up - that kitty dessert looks delicious wacko.gif.

Well dear friends, I've probably burned your eyes out. I'll try to keep in touch more.

Love, Hugs, & positive energy,

Loeywub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

LoLo honey, you need to spend some time propped up on silken pillows having your men-folk bring you chocolate dipped strawberries and wine (or the relaxing substance of your choice). Set up on the beach and bring a pea shooter to keep the tourists at bay. :)

I have a new chick! I'll try to get a pic in a few days, but I don't want to disturb Mom in case she abandons the other eggs. She's got three more under her - one that should be the same age as the one that hatched, and two more with undermined starting dates (a couple of the girls laid eggs in her nest while she was out gallivanting, and I wasn't checking). The wee babe is chipmunk colored 2415191071_1c3369cc42.webp, and is a silkie/welsummer mix.

My first silkie/welsummer mix was fluffy yellow, and is now pure white. I love genetics!

Baby chicks are adorable!

Lo - I agree with everything Jess said! And, you need a better story for your bruises. Falling down the stairs is too normal. Perhaps you fought off 3 large homeinvaders? Got it when the aliens were returning you after an abduction? Professional boxing match?

elye Community Regular

Hi, Loweeeee! :wub: Dear gawd, be careful.. . . ...

That is the most adorable chick I've ever seen.....he actually looks rather content....HAPPY, even....like, there's a little smile on his beak. Birds always seem to look pissed off, but not this li'l guy.. . . . B)

NO, too small... thing big... she got them after her pro boxing match which she was forced into while on an alien space while while defending the planet from those same aliens who wanted to poison the worlds water supply with gluten!

You dog is really pretty! I wanted a dog that looked just like that and was a female. but......I got another black male dog! :D

Little Joe spent NINE MONTHS in the rescue system because no one wanted him. They ended up basically paying us to take him in (we did not need that incentive, but did not turn it down either LOL).

Want to know WHY no one wanted him? CAUSE HE IS NOT A PURE BRED! :(:o

My dog is a pure bred! Despite the wierd picture I took of him. He was going to be euthenized and the shelter workers called a lady they know occasionally takes dogs to foster. Then I got him a few weeks later from her. So I guess no one wanted him becasue he was a pure bred? You never know!

Here's the disturbing thing going on around here. A Pet store is selling mixed breed puppies for $500. Things like Llasa poodle mixes & Llasa Bichon mixes. Then there is a rescue group with a bunch of these same puppies for about $90. Probably seized from the same puppy mills.

:angry: This is just ridiculous. Why would anyone pass over a beautiful soul because they are not a purebred? Hell, I'M no purebred, and lookit what a great catch I ended up amounting to!

:huh:

<_< <_<

Well....I'm a bit messy....and I ain't svelte nor graceful.... .. ... ...and I don't always clean up too well......

But you get my point!.. .. ... ... :rolleyes:

For whatever the reason (and social scientists still cannot tell us exactly why this is), black dogs and cats are the animals least likely to be adopted from a shelter, or picked from a litter of puppies/kittens. The stats overwhelmingly show mass preference for any other colour...quite odd. My black substandard poodle was one of the most beautiful dogs ever.

The worst is the story how he got in the shelter to begin with... his owners moved away one night and left him in a cage in the back yard! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: Neighbors fed him scraps for a couple weeks until they could find a rescue org to take him in.

His name is "Little Joe" because the rescue org that took him in was full, but his big eyes and friendly demeanor won them over and they called him "Little Joe" because he wrangled his way in. :lol:

Had to go looking for picture of said dog . . .

Here it is for everyone else who was as confused as I:

Neither are we! :D He looks like a great prynese with one distinct difference...he is only 65 pounds (They are usually over 100). He kind of looks like he could be a mix of golden and somthing, but does not have the golden face at all.

He's a cutie . . . you need to add something to show the scale. I would have never guessed him as a 65 pounder.

What would you have guess him at?

elye Community Regular

It's true, he looks like a little guy.... .. ..from the photo I would have guessed border collie sized -- 35-40 pounds...

What a great face.....full of character. :)

Yeah,he's got the facial structure of a little dog. He's too cute. Does he also think he's a little dog and jump in your lap? :D

Funny thing about that is most people think his head is big for his body when they meet him. He is playful still, just in shorter burst then when we first got him 10 years back. :)

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
