Amanda!!! You should know by now that we don't scare easily!!! We've all got family stories we could share . . . some might be immediate family, some might be extended or in-laws or extended in-laws :P . We currently are not too bad right now in my family . . . but don't ever lend my brother money . . . every one of us learned the lesson, the hard way.

We went up to J's sister's place this afternoon and saw the new PBGV puppies. Pictures on FB for those who are interested.

WIH does PBGV mean?

Pygmy Beagle/Giant Vizsla? . . ..I'm pretty sure I'm close :lol:

Sadly, the smallest/youngest did not make it through the night. He had been struggling all along.

:(

Amanda, not at all--You didn't scare me off, I just haven't been around here as much. Like Jan-it said, I'm sure many of us have "family situations", so we really do understand. My heart goes out to little Silvia--that's so very sad.

One thing I've learned (sometimes the hard way) is that we can't change anyone, but only our own reactions and how we relate to them.

On another, kinda dopey note....I couldn't find the bedroom TV remote yesterday, for the life of me. When we pulled down the covers to go to bed last night, there it was--I had made the bed right over it :blink:

Bunnie poop-in!!! I's been MIA, I's a bad girl.

Manda, my sister is a trollop who's evil and has the world's biggest mood swings. She went from all organic no gluten to McDonald's for ABSOUTELY no reason, just because she didn't feel like it anymore. The kids look terrible, and boy are they confused. I know how you feel.

Dat's all I caught up on, and the wedding YAY Lisa! How wonderful.....

I bought new sheets and I'm PMSing. That's all I got about me.

Awwwwww Judy . . . I'm sorry . . . I didn't know that your kitty wasn't going to make the move with you. I hope he finds a new home quick, though, so that you know that he's all settled in.

Jooooodie! Oh, so sorry that you cannot take Velcro with you - - what a gorgeous thing he is! I want him! I would adopt him, but I'm too far away... .. . . ... . :(

I'm sure you will get ALL KINDS of calls re. Velcro... . ... . ......lots of good families looking for a mature, handsome boy like him. :)

Judith, I'm so very sorry :( He is a beautiful kitty and I just know that someone kind is going to scoop him up. I can only imagine how hard this is for you.

So sorry Judes. Passing on a friend is so hard.

Max is really sick. He apparently ingested some sort of poison that's causing hemolytic anemia. I'm just trying to keep him fed and hydrated and hope for the best. If his crit drops much lower he may end up with a transfusion. :(

Morning Sillies-

Sending prayers to Max--sorry to hear about him :(

Today is going to be chaotic- I entered 3 baking contests at the fair- 1 PB fudge, 1 cupcake and 1 cake---both of which are gluten-free Keep your fingers crossed :):):)

Mornin', peeps... . .

Sad kitteh stuff 'round here. .. . . ...... :(:(

So sorry about Max, Jyess. You are so good with your cats, he's lucky to have you as an owner and caregiver.

Any calls on our Velcro, Jooooode? I would, honestly, take him into my home in a second. Wonder how he'd feel about two huge, energetic sub-standard poodles vying for his attention? :rolleyes:

The Ripper is away at a two-week sleepover camp. It's the first time he's been away so long, and we really hesitated to send him so soon after his grampa's death. Jack has been very quiet since Dad died.....still waters running deep, and all.

But we finally decided that it was the best thing for Jack to do -- get away from here and the lingering sadness, be on a beach with lots of other kids, swimming, canoeing, hiking, horseback-riding.... . . . ...but I do miss him.

I sent him my first letter the day before he left. :huh::rolleyes:

Yes, such sad kitteh situations :( Thinkin about wee Max and Velcro.......

Em, I think it's a very good idea for Jack to go to his camp. Time out in nature with friends and kids his age sounds perfect right now. :) How is Sophie doing?

I THINK IT'S GOOD THAT THE RIPPER IS OFF AT CAMP AND JACK WILL FIND HIS WAY...JUST AS YOU WILL EM. NO WORD ON VELCRO. NOT SURE THIS WILL WORK BUT........BUT WE'VE DONE WHAT WE CAN AT THIS POINT. FLYER GOING INTO THE VETS TOO.

Good morning, psillies.

The basement is no longer full of garbage. :)

I'm thinking of Max and Velcro, hoping for good things for both of them.

I'll bet Jack has a great time at camp, phocused on phun stuph.

:) How is Sophie doing?

Actually, Soph is doing well. She is a very physically busy kid, with a lot of group sports going on, and she has many friends. Jack is a different beast -- he thinks and reads a great deal, doesn't surround himself with many other kids... .. ...I know that when he grieves throughout his lifetime, it will always be a huge trial for him.

But camp will be a great experience right now.

SO MUCH TO DO AND SO LITTLE TIME.

Been thinking about you, Joooodie. Nothing is more stressful than a big move..... ... but hey, it will be all over soon and you'll be in your new abode, and right near your son! :)

I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
