Patti's french maid outfit must have feathers. From the southern part of France, where it doesn't get so cold. No furred muffs for her.

:lol: :lol: :lol: What is the preferred wine to accent the light sweetness of the snickerdoodles?

This afternoon I went to a talk given by a woman I worked with for two years. Five years a go she went to Pittsburgh, and she came back to give a talk on her research.

I saw her in the hallway before the talk and she looked at me, and that sort of light dawned and she said 'oh hi' and gave me a brief hug. Then she went into the room and stood up at the podium for 5 minutes as the room filled up.

I felt sort of brushed off. I mean, I know this woman's sex stories, for heaven's sake....

Anyway, it occurred to me later that maybe she didn't really recognize me. I'm 50 pounds lighter, have blond (and grey :ph34r: ) hair that's about 2 feet shorter than it used to be, and I'm not depressed. Maybe she only sorta knew who I was.

Where's Peter??? This seems like something he would be all over!!

Gotta go to bed.

Nite Jess!!

Moi? It has been a long day. I don't think I can get excited even about French Maids with furry parts.

Our furry friend, Oliver, is sleeping beside me as I type this. He is not well. We took him to the vet this morning. He has two problems (comprehensive blood tests showed nothing else). He has a bladder infection and is on a course of ABX for the next two weeks for that, but his blood sugar is extremely high. It was 24 when 4 to 8 is normal (similar to humans). The sugar in his urine likely contributed to the bladder infection.

So I spent much time today looking into feline diabetes, and acquiring things we will need to start him on insulin in the morning. Apparently, cats respond very well to glargine insulin (Lantus), the same stuff I take for my basal insulin. The pen that I use is not practical for him. I have gathered up syringes (which I stopped using about eight years ago) and testing supplies. So we begin in the morning with insulin. We are off and will be around to observe him to monitor for possible adverse reactions. They are rare, but are very dangerous if they do occur.

Of course, we have also had to rethink cat food. With three of them it is a challenge to meet the expectations of Riley and Tuppence while providing for Oliver. With the vet, the pharmacy, and new cat food (at least that we get wholesale), it was an expensive day.

I'm beat. I should have gone to bed an hour ago.

Or a bad euphemism.

"Those shorts are too short, your courgette will show!" :P

sillies - - I am so sorry but I have the two cutest pets in the world :wub:

Every night, Kitteh Boy (what IS his name :blink: ) comes onto the bed and grooms Weez for at least 10 minutes........cutest thing, just licking and licking her.....Weez has her eyes half-closed in this heretofore unknown state of kitteh love bliss :wub: I can't even TAKE it.......then, they snuggle together in some fashion.......have posted a new photo of those two, spooning............

I have about.............500 new photos of those two canoodling and cavorting together.....might have to put some on facebook and bore everyone to DEATH :lol:

but Kitteh is just a total love......gives a jaunty little "meow" like a "HI!" when you walk into the room.........and a SCREEEEEEEAMING meow when he wants something quite urgently......

puts his wee paw up to my face to give some love, a gentle touch to the cheek at times......rests his paw on the Weez's snout at night, right after the grooming :wub:

I SERIOUSLY cannot take it

Good morning Sillies.

Happy St Patricks Day, anybody besides me celebrating it/or their Irishness?

Besides Skeeter that is, on this day her favorite holiday :lol:

I'm not sure where this came from, but apparently leprechaun's are out and about on St. Patrick's Day eve . . . :lol::lol::lol: . . . so Skeeter has left notes for a leprechaun in her room giving him permission to build forts with her blanket and swing on her ceiling fan. She also wrote that St. Patrick's Day is her favoUrite holiday. Wait till Santa hears about this!!!

Very cute story Janet!!

How you doing today? Know that must have been hard saying your goodbyes last night. Thinking of you!

Hi Theresa!

Nikki, how is everyone doing post-soup (did it all go down ok and agree with everyone?.... any crimes to report of any variety?!) :lol:

Have a good day everyone :)

Jestgar Rising Star

OK, last night Lyle wakes me up around 2:30 for food. Fine. My fault. I clearly didn't leave out enough of what he wanted that night.

But then, this morning, I discover on my bedroom floor, a tail, with a bit of hind leg attached!

Clearly he had eaten dinner out, so what was the point of waking me up??? Dessert?

AND

I know for certain that spring is coming because my bedroom looks like a cat exploded in it. Fur everywhere. Heaven knows how many more tails are hidden beneath the clumps o' fur.

Yes, he is the 13-year-old, 22-pound, gentle ginger giant.

Okay, now he's awake, but still on the desk.

My friends have been maintaining their kitty on insulin for several years now. He seems to be doing OK, and I'm sure Oliver will too.

All you cat owners wif dead animals (and bits) . . . amatuers I say!!! . . . My MaggieDog brought a live opossum into the house. When one of yer animals brings in something bigger and liver than a opossum, then you can bump MaggieDog from the top of the charts. She also used to kill moles in our yard. The neighbors always remarked how lucky we were to have her take care of any moles . . . yeah, right <_< . . . you would not believe the canyons she would dig to retrieve a mole . . . plus their weird lookin' :unsure:

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?
    • trents
      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.
    • Xravith
      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.
    • trents
      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.
    • Scott Adams
      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
