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:

: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! :)

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
