Good to see you posting!

Theresa,

I didn't think the rump looked right but i'll get my bird book as we do have them in PA and usually alot at our feeders. We get 4 species + the pilliated which is one of my favorites.

I'm sure your right about the Redheaded being it.

The never could figure out why the redbreasted has the red head too and the breast not so much.

We had a nest and 3 fledgling redbreasted 2 years ago. was fun to watch.

I have photos on another site if you want to see the great photos my hubby took.

i could pm you to photo site.

thanks for the 'potty' support......damn this gets soooooooooooooo old doesn't it.

oh well, was good for the most part on the trip to CA where i knee high in gluten everyday so .........life is good most days. what more can we ask for right?

Judy!!! That is FanParkingTastic!!!!! :D . . . sorry about the backfire tho. :(

Sun is shining here, too . . . we're above freezing . . . YeeHaw!!!

The redbellied woodpecker is one of me favoUrite visitors to my feeder but he doesn't come too often . . . got some new suet two days ago - it has dehydrated bugs in it - I'm hoping to get me bug eaters to visit more often. Anybody have a recommendation on how to get rid of the starlings??? They clean me out. The only thing that seems to work is to let the feeder set empty for a week or so and then they seem to move on. I hate to do it, but the other birds aren't really coming anyway when the starlings are monopolizing the feeder.

JOOOOODITH! Six weeks smoke-free - - Good fer you!! :):) How are you doing it? Cold turkey? The patch? Other meds? Sooooo happy for you . . .. . ....Keep it up, girl!!

It's Superbowl Sunday!!!!!!!! Anybody else going to watch besides me and Tom?? (Tom, I assume you are going to watch?)

Will go and watch some of it with my dad in his hospital room, on his li'l TV. I think I'll bring everyone with me, and it shall be a big blast.....we'll draw the big curtain around, start hooping and hollering from within, throwing popcorn, cracking out the coolers. . .. . . ...

:lol:

Theresa, what is mail merging?? Should I be doing that, merging mail? It sounds like something that is missing in my life, something I need to do....I just don't know what it is exactly...

:lol::lol:

Yes, I quite concur. . . . . . Mail Merging sounds fascinating, perhaps a little naughty, and something I need to be incorporating into my life.

Tareeesuh, it doesn't involve whips and/or chains, does it? And we are talking consenting adults, yes? :unsure:

.........life is good most days. what more can we ask for right?

OMG I love Amanda Marshall!!! I had her first album that came out.....what was that back in 1996 I think? It was so FABULOUS. Then she kind of disapeared on the music scene here. Good to see her still doing music, such powerful pipes on that girl.

Hi Juudes! Am ALWAYS interested in bird sightings/fotos!! We don't see many of the redheaded around, hence the excitement. Did not ever see any in NY, so this was a new bird for us. We also have red bellied (many) that like our feeders, as well as downies and harries. There are several Pileated that we hear more than we see...but I have some good pics of those, too. Also have sapsuckers and yellow bellies hanging around. We just love it! Not to mention all of the other yard birds here. We like to hike and go birding, but have not had many opportunities since we moved to WV. Something to look forward to.

Jewels.....I know what you mean about losing posts/replies. I'm pretty good at that, too. I can't fight my way out of into a wet majik tryangle :lol:

Mail merge is....suppose you have a form letter (labels, postcards, whatevah), that needs to be mailed to many (or even several) people. Rather than retype the letter over and over for each one....you type ONE letter and embed fields into the letter, create a list or table of all the info you need, such as, names, addresses, phone numbers, any information at all. You can even sort the information on the tables in different ways. So, you have one form that you can use over and over by just changing the information in the fields. Now THAT'S Majik! :P

What comes to mind is all of that GJUNK mail we get that has our names and addresses on them. They are not retyping all of those letters...they use mail merge! On a BIIIIGGG skale!

As you can see, I'm catching up piecemeal here. We put out Suet, too. My telehubby made an upside down suet holder so the woodpeckers can eat it, but the other birds (can you say winged rodents?) can't get at it. Fun to watch them try, though. If you have a hopper feeder, you can create an overhang that allows the smaller birds to feed, but crowds the starlings and grackles. They don't seem to like it. No other suggestions come to mind right now. I agree, I hate to let the little guys starve, waiting out the starlings.

Shoot--------- :angry:

Lost my long post ck'n who said what

who cares really.............

Just wanted to say i so appreciate your kind words and support.

I've quit before for 6 years and then my Dad died suddenly and so............started it again.

then taught 'fresh start' stopping classes at the hospital for 4 years........hell you'd think I'd get it done and over with

I pray this will be it. I got asthmatic bronchitis and had stopped a few days before that but it was too scary to ignore so................just went cold turkey. Being sick did help the few weeks I must say.

I guess you've noticed i haven't been posting much......well I smoked at the computer while talking to me sillies...........it was too hard to sit here at the computer sucking Altoids..........so just avoided the room. Also i knew in CA there wouldn't be a place i could smoke anywhere so just decided it was time.

I sure pray it takes this time. The bad thing is I don't really WANT to quit.........i just don't want to get breathing problems like i had with the asthmatic bronchitis..........so..............that has to be the motivator.

Janet how is your Mom?

Keep asking but did Tom get any news yet on his Mayo tests?

where is Sarah?

Like little peanut Susie q..........he/she is a cutie. glad he's settled in.

Theresa, will send a link in pm

Nikki, have fun in Dad's hospital room. Hope the room mate is deaf or hard of hearing

Judes...hi. I quit for 2 years before we moved. With all of the upheaval and changes I stated back up. It wasn't the first time I quit, either. They say that it often takes a number of times quitting to get it to stick....but if you've quit for 4 years, I KNOW you can do it again. I know what you mean about not wanting to quit. Sometimes (not all of the time) I REALLY enjoy a good smoke! I only smoke outside, and only 1/2 pk or less, so I (try to) convince myself it's not so bad. My Dad quit smoking when he retired (also a "light" smoker). I know he still sneaks one now and then...but he's in his 80's and in excellent health.

Anyway...all I'm trying to say is...I can sympathize...I'm pulling for you and wishing you much strength and good luck! :)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
