Last night- my cat got excited to see moles in the backyard--he pulled down the curtins in the kitchen window---fell into the sink with the curtins on top of dirty dishes, whilst tangled up inside them....This morning I come down to find more signs of an excited active cat and then come into the kitchen and he is sprawled out on the counter and just looking at me--like it is fine to be lounging on the counter to begin with.

The other night I made this gluten dreams vanilla cake and topped it with strawberry icing. There is about 1/2 the cake left and it was covered on the counter-he had got into that and pawed it up so I have pink paw prints on the counter tops.....The cake went into the trash....Was it a full moon or something????

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I think Allo is getting the hang of this travelling :D He washed up and napped on and off all day in the car, and tonight he ate, drank water, checked out the room, found his litter box and nary a meow from him. Hopephully, this behavior will continue over night..... We don't need any nocturnal hyjinks.....at least of the feline variety

noctural hyjinks!!!!! guffawed last night when I read this....... :lol:

Yes, Allo, the traveler ;) jaunty cat.....

makes me larph to think - - Kitteh was just sooooooooooooo overjoyed and happy and in LOVE with us when he got here - - could not kiss me/rub my face/try to snuggle enough (I was his hero and rescuer, after all), and, remember, I was kind of annoyed with him when he got here, and could not handle his mysterious STINK? :huh:

he's becoming just ever-so-slightly less affectionate - big, "mature" teenaged boy Kitteh, full of antics.....now I am pretty sure he just sees me as the big interference for all of his ruinous fun and hyjinks <_<

:lol:

Amanda - I can't even IMAGINE leaving a cake on the counter with pink, or any kind, of icing :lol: :lol: that would be EVERYWHERE - when I made those evil brownies, had to store them in the kitteh-proof microwave......

but just love the picture of Lucky in the sink tangled with curtains and dishes :lol:

I seriously need some nocturnal hijinks, and not of the feline variety.

*snooooooort* I know, I'm with you on that :angry:

yer boss - - I think I need to come in there and......I'll have a small screaming match with him, as I do in my office with MY boss.......lightens the tension and puts them in their place, by gum

:lol:

Hey Sillies . . . past me bedtime. Got an email from Lisa that I forwarded. She needs some distraction. She needs a scarf that looks like boobs. She needs some wackl . . . so get busy forwarding those innapropriate funny bits that come in from your coworkers, family members, and friends.

send her the boob scarf - I know she wants some, also :lol:

[still catching up . .. . I think . .. .saw last few pages .. . ]

Oh ya .. .NCIS ... thought last ep not as good as many but the "Israeli" is . ..Brazilian is it? Peruvian? Nah I'll go w/ Brasil.

is she Brazillian? she was rattling off in very fast and phluent Spanish the other night....I think she is ADORABLE and do love the SEXUAL TENSION between her and Dinuzzo......that's about the only reason I watch it *snort*

WHAAAAT?!?! in March??....are you sure Phoenix isn't a 'euphemism' for Hell?!?!

Yes, and FREZNO is too <_<

How's yer man phlughue, Nik???

oops - just heard a very loud CONK - must investigate -

okay - all is well - Kitteh has an OBSESSION with the blinds - wedges his body between the slats as often as he can - gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hmm, nocturnal hijinks w' me boss. But everything would end with 'great, now could you....'

:lol:

Judith and Tea, how's the yard work coming along?

Off to museums and such....saw Jersey Boys last night........Sooooooze, you'd have walked out. It was that good. .. . . ..

:o would have stabbed myself with......a butter knife...............

sillies dunno what else.................FABULOUS spring day here with a veil of clouds over the sky.............LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! going to play with me mum today...........what should we do........I am thinking a glamorous, tasty lunch somewhere..........

.....but where.......... <_<

I don't know what Boris has done - but one front leg and paw is MASSIVELY swollen (one lions paw, one kitty paw :( )....he's not limping and when I felt it, he only pulled away when I touched the armpit. I think it's a bite - we'll see how it goes :rolleyes:

Hi Lisa!! Howya Doin'?? (((Hugs for ya)))

Sillies, I'm groing my hair out . . . a bit . . . it's drivin' me nuts. I think I'm gonna have to get it cut . . . I can nae take it no more!!! I need to put up an av of Smackl. He's been growing his hair out since the beginning of school (August). Has had only one "trim/shape up". We're starting to get a LOT of comments. Don't know if people really think it's a hoot (that's what they tell us) or if they're thinking . . . My gawd, what kind of parents are they that let him grow his hair like that!!! I told him that his hair wouldn't grow long, it would grow big . . . which is what it's done . . . it's not in his eyes, at least. You'll see. I'll post a photo.

OMG sillies--- here is the professional office humor of the day---which is real!!!!

Two days ago my boss asked me to change her printer cartridge. I said sure. Then she goes on to tell me that I should know where Jane *name changed* (ditsy assistant) keeps spare cartridges...I looked at my boss funny and said we don't keep spares...At 150 a pop we don't keep spares on hand-Plus we all have different printers so its not logical-plus when your cartidge is half empty the printer tells you to order more....So I come into her office and tell her I can put one of the list for her and when Jane comes back from vacation next week she can order more. My boss looks at me and says does that mean I have to wait? :blink: in my head after the last two hellish weeks at work due to the audit prep I am thinking to myself--well I don't have the ability to just crap one out so you got to wait...def would not say those words to her--she is a very scary woman....

Yesterday morning she starts whining about the cartridge again then procedes to ask me if I am able to order supplies---no and neither is any one else. Finally we ordered one for her through our other dept on the 6th floor.

Today it came in and I took it into her office-and assembled it into the printer for her. She then tells me she wishes she had a color printer....Sillies I must tell ya at this point I am just floored....She has a huge Laser Jet color printer/fax/copy all in one whoesywhatsy. I tell her it is a color printer-no its not is her response--I know it is a color printer I installed the color cartridges on it....she looks at me oddly again.... Then I had to show her how to print in color-she had her computer to force black and white print.....

This is what I deal with everyday.....How did some people get this far in life........ believe me this is causing laughs full circle but you know if this is all you need to be a boss heck I can be president!

Well, I am indeed museum-ed out. Um, call me jaded.....hey, call me old, but somehow every museum I walk into now seems exactly the same as the one before. .. ... . . ...fossils, dinos, flora and fauna evolution, primitive cultures and their tools. . . . . ..... :mellow:-_-

I need to walk into a new, exciting museum. There is a huge shoe museum not far from here (sounds about as fascinating as the neolithic flint arrow tips)... . .... . and the Hockey Hall of Fame..... .. ... .

yep we thinking of moving

Just didn't wantt to say anything.

Some of you know the 'funk' i've been in and some of the health issues and of course the biggie.......

not being close to our son for like 9 years.

It's just getting to me.

I need some sun, warm weather, one floor and some dirt i can dig in that's flat and not on a hill.

When you type it, it somehow makes it all more real

Changing Drs, dentists etc. all just add to the stress but in CA i felt so much better in that climate.

so .......we'll see and i'll keep you posted.

Patti is blazing the trail for me.

hope she didn't have fog all the way to Huston like she was thinking.

Guess tonight she'll be in the motel/hotel/condo/ Mark is staying in.

forget what she said it was.

will be good to hear from her when she checks in tonight.

thanks for the kind thoughts and thanks for caring.

Hey, look what I got for Skeeter:

Open Original Shared Link

'cept I got a four pack and it was $5.00 at Bed Bath and Beyond. They basically make a push up pop. I bought toppings so we could make layers . . . yum . . . :droolyphace:

She wasn't too much of an ice cream cone person before (was it because it upset her tummy?) and I'm too much of a cheapa$$ to buy the $9.00 box of gluten-free ice cream cones which had 8 cones in it (everytime we try some new prepackaged item, there's probably a better than 50% chance that she won't like it). So I've had these since Monday and she's been hounding me to do it. On Tuesday, I said we would do them on Thursday . . . so immediately upon exitting the school bus "Mom, when are we going to make the cones?" . . . Me: "Later". Everytime I walked into the kitchen . . . Skeeter: "Now?" . . . Me: "Later" . . . even Smackl noticed the nagging . . . Smackl: "Jeesh, Skeeter, can't you say anything else?" (Ummmm, he doesn't actually call her Skeeter :lol::lol: )

So . . . it's done . . . and now the new question . . . "How much longer until we can eat them?" . . . GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I need some cheering up- Emily's link has helped me discover my new career as a PHALLOLOGIST!!!!!!!!!!! I can study the phalluses of past,present and future. Make charts f growth trends :lol: People have gotten taller in the last 100 years, maybe they have gotten more phallogical :lol:

Nikkers- Sorry about your man phlugue.......did it give you a phallus? (cracking meself up here for the first tie in days!)

Suzlle- The kissers.....look at them. Gawd- makes my heart swell!!!!!!

I am in utter disbelief about Natasha Richardson- unreal. Just watched her in maid in Manhattan last week! Right before I joined the board I had a similar ski accident- going very slowly on a beginner trail. When I fell, I heard a snap but figured nuttin cause me neck always cracks. Waited ten days to go to the ER (symptoms got progressively worse). It was my neck but I can't tell you how many nurses attacked me with don't EVER wait to go to the ER if you hurt your head or neck. Poor Liam Neeson.

Allo and PadT n the road (oh no.... Willie Nelson just popped into me head "On the road again, going places that I've never been"....... Be safe!

Oh--I ran out of phood! :P (bad, bad Celiac!).....all I had left was some bread, Enjoy Life cookies and Stax chips. So we went to the grocery store near here and bought OM pre-cooked bacon, lettuce and a tomato and made BLT's in the room wif me toaster and the microwave. Pretty darn (sorry Jan-it) good, I have to say :D

Yum- road BLT's! Good thinking!

Well, since no one's silly, I'll post a little whiny rant.

My Boss has been SSOOOOOOO annoying.

I seriously need some nocturnal hijinks, and not of the feline variety. :angry:

JUDITH- HOLY Temecula- I missed the town name. Oh..so beautiful! I spent a semester at San Diego State ( we used to have an exchange program with them- more like a beach exchange!). I went up to Callaway Vineyards in Temecula for a day with a group of friends and it was MAGICAL.

We got wine, cheese and crackers (pre-gluten-free) and climbed up a very green hill and had a 6 hour picnic! By the end the two guys with us were streaking through the hillsides (mind you, I was 19 at the time!). It was one of my favorite memories!

Yes- Bevel is a wee bit sad. saw my PCP today and she thinks I might have Addison's Disease (autoimmune adrenal insufficiency- great!) :( JFK had it so at least I'm in good company!

Seems alot of us are keeping things all bottled up inside these days

our silly thread ain't that silly .........but as the song goes........'there are seasons for all things'

i love you Bevie.

Let's pray he's right

Just a quickee pop in to say hello! Been enjoying the heck out of our weather....and I'll pay for it for days......worth it tho' :P Now we'll be back to more "seasonal temps"....can't wait fer summer B)

Manda....as the saying goes......those who can, do. Those who can't become supervisors! :lol: Makes you wonder sometimes....just how the incompetents get where they do.....and oh, they do!

Love the kitteh hijinks! Once had a cat who loved bread, of all things. Sneakers......(his name) would tear open the wrappers if I was foolish enough to leave it out..and chew away! When I was young, we had a cat who LOVED gum! He'd fish it out of my sisters pocketbook.

Hi Jude! I've found that the very hardest part of moving was leaving my gardens behind. I survived selling my house....my furniture and my junk.... but the gardens killed me. (I DID, however, bring along buckets of irises, peonies and other assorted bulbs <snickerbehindmyhandface>) I think I miss my gardens as much as I miss my family members (just don't tell)

I'll play catch up again tomorrow. Later

flourgirl Apprentice

Bev-really.....Ill keep you in my prayers, too. Right along with Lees-suh and her family, and so many others! Better days are coming, please hold on to that.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?
    • Fayeb23
      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!
    • Scott Adams
      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
    • RMJ
      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,
    • Bev in Milw
      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…
