Your kittehs are soooo thoughtful :)

When my kitteh was just a wee kitteh, she could only use the litter box one time . . . then it was "full" and all the litter was piled up on one wee turd.

My kitteh is so long that she poops in one end of the box, and scoops the litter from the other end, which doesn't come anywhere near the little parcel she just delivered. :blink: Has never got the concept of turning around :rolleyes:

Hello Dear Psillies,

Long time no see. I took a nasty fall down our hard wood stairs. The only thing stopping the fall was my face and the landing. I stayed in the house for over a week because I didn't want anyone to think Superman was beating me up (make-up made it look worse). I think it was Lex Luther who pushed me.ph34r.gifph34r.gif I finally went to the movies twice over the weekend. I highly recommend both movies that we saw: Snow White and the Huntsmen and Prometheus. Both long movies but the time flew. Now we're going back and watching all of the Alien movies. It seems to be taking forever for the bruise to heal and we o to NJ for our vacation July 5th. Trying to set up as many play dates as possible. There's a lovely small Mall (I don't like the large one down Rte 1). I feel like I'm setting up audiences (I'm reading Game of Thrones too much). was pleasantly surprised how many of my friends want to meet me. We're having dinner at our gluten-free friend's house the day we arrive (the 5th). I meet my friends the 6th (Superman has to make plans for the day - he's got dinner plans). I'm hoping to have dinner at PF Changs. Saturday Rob is being treated to a Roger Waters Concert with his oldest friend (from high school) and I'm sleeping at a girlfriends house. Sunday we're having brunch with my brother and SIL (it's a shorter drive from Va to Princeton than it is to RI).

The tourist season has begun here and our quiet town gets crazy with renters (and sucky drivers). It is good for the businesses. If I get to the beach by 9 it's not packed. Westerly has two private beaches but thee's nothing to stop anyone from walking down from the State beach (very crowded). There are a lot of wonderful free events (movies on the beach, blues, jazz, and more things that I don't remember).

Even though I haven't posted I have managed to keep up - that kitty dessert looks delicious wacko.gif.

Well dear friends, I've probably burned your eyes out. I'll try to keep in touch more.

Love, Hugs, & positive energy,

Loeywub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

LoLo honey, you need to spend some time propped up on silken pillows having your men-folk bring you chocolate dipped strawberries and wine (or the relaxing substance of your choice). Set up on the beach and bring a pea shooter to keep the tourists at bay. :)

I have a new chick! I'll try to get a pic in a few days, but I don't want to disturb Mom in case she abandons the other eggs. She's got three more under her - one that should be the same age as the one that hatched, and two more with undermined starting dates (a couple of the girls laid eggs in her nest while she was out gallivanting, and I wasn't checking). The wee babe is chipmunk colored 2415191071_1c3369cc42.webp, and is a silkie/welsummer mix.

My first silkie/welsummer mix was fluffy yellow, and is now pure white. I love genetics!

Baby chicks are adorable!

Lo - I agree with everything Jess said! And, you need a better story for your bruises. Falling down the stairs is too normal. Perhaps you fought off 3 large homeinvaders? Got it when the aliens were returning you after an abduction? Professional boxing match?

Hi, Loweeeee! :wub: Dear gawd, be careful.. . . ...

NO, too small... thing big... she got them after her pro boxing match which she was forced into while on an alien space while while defending the planet from those same aliens who wanted to poison the worlds water supply with gluten!

Little Joe spent NINE MONTHS in the rescue system because no one wanted him. They ended up basically paying us to take him in (we did not need that incentive, but did not turn it down either LOL).

Want to know WHY no one wanted him? CAUSE HE IS NOT A PURE BRED! :(:o

My dog is a pure bred! Despite the wierd picture I took of him. He was going to be euthenized and the shelter workers called a lady they know occasionally takes dogs to foster. Then I got him a few weeks later from her. So I guess no one wanted him becasue he was a pure bred? You never know!

Here's the disturbing thing going on around here. A Pet store is selling mixed breed puppies for $500. Things like Llasa poodle mixes & Llasa Bichon mixes. Then there is a rescue group with a bunch of these same puppies for about $90. Probably seized from the same puppy mills.

:angry: This is just ridiculous. Why would anyone pass over a beautiful soul because they are not a purebred? Hell, I'M no purebred, and lookit what a great catch I ended up amounting to!

:huh:

<_< <_<

Well....I'm a bit messy....and I ain't svelte nor graceful.... .. ... ...and I don't always clean up too well......

But you get my point!.. .. ... ... :rolleyes:

For whatever the reason (and social scientists still cannot tell us exactly why this is), black dogs and cats are the animals least likely to be adopted from a shelter, or picked from a litter of puppies/kittens. The stats overwhelmingly show mass preference for any other colour...quite odd. My black substandard poodle was one of the most beautiful dogs ever.

The worst is the story how he got in the shelter to begin with... his owners moved away one night and left him in a cage in the back yard! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: Neighbors fed him scraps for a couple weeks until they could find a rescue org to take him in.

His name is "Little Joe" because the rescue org that took him in was full, but his big eyes and friendly demeanor won them over and they called him "Little Joe" because he wrangled his way in. :lol:

Had to go looking for picture of said dog . . .

Here it is for everyone else who was as confused as I:

Neither are we! :D He looks like a great prynese with one distinct difference...he is only 65 pounds (They are usually over 100). He kind of looks like he could be a mix of golden and somthing, but does not have the golden face at all.

He's a cutie . . . you need to add something to show the scale. I would have never guessed him as a 65 pounder.

It's true, he looks like a little guy.... .. ..from the photo I would have guessed border collie sized -- 35-40 pounds...

What a great face.....full of character. :)

Yeah,he's got the facial structure of a little dog. He's too cute. Does he also think he's a little dog and jump in your lap? :D

Funny thing about that is most people think his head is big for his body when they meet him. He is playful still, just in shorter burst then when we first got him 10 years back. :)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
