sillies - - I had this startling thought about how much more I"d actually get done in life if I had no computer

:o

:ph34r:

Yes do agree-- you know how much more productive I would be at work

I have a new poem for all you working folk:

'I cannot go to work today, '

Said Jestgar, Em and blueeyemanada-may.

'The Twas won't clean my house ,

And my kitties left a big bad mouse.

Plus my head it hurts, my throat is dry,

A margarita would be better, sigh.

My husband had gall-bladder rocks,

My cats are high and the ferries won't dock.

And there's one more reason-that's almost nine,

And don't you think a mental health day would be just phine?

Jess's leg is cut-Amanda's eyes are blue-

And Susie has absinthian flu.

Poor Leesa needs tosleep and dream,

And Jianknit's ankle-biters make her want to scream.

I'm sure I missed you other working folk (Pieter, Susie not to mention all you MOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but I'll get ya next time. I need to start writing more anyway- you know cause it'll help me when I teach :P :P

LOL!!!! love it!!!

Congrats Amanda!!! (and to yer sister, too)

JoDog's out of surgery . . . she gets to come home tomorrow . . . poor girl :( The worst part is that she has to be confined or on lead for the next six weeks!!! They told me that when I picked her up tomorrow, I would have the option of picking up a sedative (doggie valium?) to keep her from getting overly excited. I told them that I don't need to think about it, I definitely wanted it!!!

poor Jo-Dog!!!!!!! :(

It's just TOO awful when pets have surgery - I hate it!! Yes - plenty of drugs, jhanit.....

I went looking at my posts yesterday . . . thought I reported it but apparently not . . .

We had a "circle of life" moment yesterday. A Coopers Hawk was eating sumptin atop the kids swingset. Smackl wanted to go out to be able to see better. I told him he couldn't. I didn't want him to scare it away . . . I didn't want to have to clean up anymore body parts than I had too :greenguyemoticon:

So I'm sure you all wanted to know . . . It was a squirrel. I just found the head (which was all I was expecting to find). Jess, I'm sure you're use to this sort of thing all the time. Shall I mail it out to yer kittehs so they can play football soccer wif it??

No.....sigh. . . .. . . ....just kids. . . . ......an' they're not NEARLY as endearing . .. ..... <_<

Jyah-gnutt! A squirrel's head.. . ......barfarama. ...!! I meant to comment on poor li'l Josie. This is so stressful, a sick pet that you must keep confined, must be always watching over.......she needs good drugs, and you do, as well .. . . ..

Do you think she's in any shape to enjoy that squirrel's head? Gads, if she's on a strong, mind-altering tranq, she'll freak right out if she catches sight of it...."AAAuuuugggghhhh.........!!! Squirrel head....noooooooo body attached. ... !!...."

Sills ----- I"m highly involved in my extremely pointless hobby at present - - got 21 POSH perfume decants in the mail today.........have applied WAY more than the suggested amount to my limbs (only suppose to sample 2 or 3 a day, I think? - I probably have 7 or 8 on my person) and am reading all about their base/middle/top notes now........

Useless I tell you, USELESS and POINTLESS - why do I do this to myself? the one I"m currently in love with is about $120 - just torturing meself :mellow:

She is spending the night at the vet's . . . as planned . . . so I'm sure she's hating it. Surgery went well. Talked to the Doc and then later, talked to the Tech . . . both reiterating how important it is to keep her from running wild (which she is so good at) for the next six weeks.

So . . . I was doing a little mathS . . . if I weigh four times as much as Josie, then I just take four times her dose of her "chill out" meds . . . right? . . . The Tech also commented (based on Jo's behavioUr today) that I was probably going to need the sedatives . . . :lol: . . . Duuuuuhhhhhh . . . <_<

Started a new book tonight. It reminds me of this thread but I've only read a few pages. I'll read a bit more and then fill you in.

Night all

Cute niece you got, Amanda.

Oh . . . sorry Jess . . . Susie's called dibs on the squirrel head. Guess you'll have to wait until next time.

Morning All

John's got his f/u appt with the surgeon today. He is getting all his stitches out and hopefully will be a lot better. I am leaving work at 12 to go get him and then come all the way back here. Hopefully today we will get a better idea of when he can go back to work.

Tomorrow we are heading home to see the new baby.

The weather here is beautiful I am rocking my new capris and my sandals today!

elye Community Regular

Glad to hear John's better, Ahmanduh....getting the stitches out will be a relief, I'm sure.. . . ...

The weather here is beautiful I am rocking my new capris and my sandals today!

Lucky you! It is not quite capri weather here, yet....I am in jeans and a T shirt, and shoes wif no socks..........not quite ready fer Birks yet, either. . .....

Jyagh-nuht! How is Jo-dog?

Leeeeeegh-sargh! Try to poop in today! :D:D

<_< Rockin' my old rain jacket and sneakers trainers.

I just ran to the grocery store in me capri's and Birk's--so warm and humid <_< . I wanted to beat the storm that is headed this way. It's slow-moving, thus is supposed to bring us (possibly) several inches of rain. There's been lots of lightening wif it, too.

Amanda--I'm so glad youse guys up there are having a stretch of nice weather! I know Matt has been itching to get working outside on his yard. Good news about John!

Gawd....it's getting dark......

ummmm . . . or frogs??

I pick up JoDog in about 3 hours. (Em, twas knee surgery to keep her knee-cap from popping out of place) Headed out to Target to go get a baby gate . . . we're going to try and confine her to the office/computer/sparebedroom room (Yep, that's all just one room). She won't be able to see squirrels scampering in the back yard or neighborhood dogs going on walks out front . . . two things that just drive her mad. Plus, someone is almost always on the computer so she'll have lots of company.

Susie, I'll trade you my squirrel's head for some muskal relaxents . . . stiff neck today from hanus landscape removal projects yesterday . . . and twas only the tip of the grassy-weed-you-call-this-ground-cover? removal project.

Hello Miss Cate . . . you need to come back and visit. Emily is obviously on her best behavioUr . . . hurry back 'cause it won't last long :lol:

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.  
    • BIg Nodge
      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.
    • Scott Adams
      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
    • Dawn Meyers
      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.
