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.

<I love how Theeresugh calls me Pseussle :) >

I think courgette sounds like some piece of a french maid's outfit...

Or a bad euphemism.

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

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

pseriously! Like a hobo on a three-day-old ham sandwich! :lol:

Somethin' all the boys would be all over, given the chance.

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 :)

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.

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:

      Yes, well, that's what we have been told, probably ever since the different types of cholesterol were identified. It's what most of our primary care providers are still telling us, it's what the commercials tell us. But researchers (up until now at any rate) have been learning a great deal about HDL. Nevertheless, the universe of what we still don't know about HDL is vast. And since I can sustain only a 35% level of understanding when I hear lectures on HDL, I will have to nutshell my layperson's understanding, which is that at this time, it's possible or likely that HDL-C levels are best understood as U-shaped, that there's a sweet spot right there in the dip of the "U" and anything before or after is not ideal. This is why I said what I did earlier about the "good" and the "bad" being oversimplifications. The research has long since moved on. There's a lot of talk about how the focus should be on functionality, that you want to make sure that all that HDL is performing how it should be. And now, that's it, I've exhausted my ability to explain my understanding of HDL!

      Hi, I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter..I would say she has had tantrums since even before she was a year old. Challenging but not extreme. Lately, her behavior had gotten extreme. Just so angry, yelling mean hateful things, completely defiant, was causing a lot of disruption in our house, I felt like I had lost the little girl I knew, we were baffled.   Something just didn’t seem right to me, I have been researching and read about how gluten can sometimes affect kids behavior. I took her off gluten a week ago tomorrow. The next couple days after I took her off gluten the days were much easier. About 4 days in she had one of the worst days I’ve seen her have tho. I kept on with it tho and the past two days she has been angelic. Is this common that if it is gluten that she could still have a bad day like that a few days after taking her off of it? Should I try to reintroduce it at some point to see if it’s really a gluten intolerance? I’m not gonna lie, if she continues with the great behavior she’s had the past couple days I will probably be scared to reintroduce it but don’t want her to have to avoid gluten if it’s not necessary. Anyone have advice?

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.
