So we are having a " fun" 4 th. hub is installing 2 faucets we bought 6 years ago. Boys are at the tent from 8 am today until 2 am. I'm just cleaning out some drawers/ cabinets. At least it's cool in the house.

I think chickens, raccoons , coyotes and hikers would melt here.

Happy 4th of July to all of you celebrating. Boy have I missed you all. After I took a fall Memorial Weekend I was fairly out of it and vision was off. I'm doing much better. Just have to have an MRI to see if there are any fractures. I didn't go to the ER because of all of my bruises (didn't want Superman questioned) and also after spending a week in the hospital in January I didn't want to take a chance that they'd admit me. Not too smart but what's done is done.Rob did keep waking me the first night because I'm sure I had a mild concussion.Just came back from a lovely neighborhood BBQ and I left earlier than Superman as we're leaving for NJ tomorrow and I still tire very easily. I have been keeping up with the posts and sending positive energy and healing hugs to all of you. Will try to be better about keeping up with you when we return.

Love,wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Happy 4th all!!

We had a hot one here . . . Smackl is on the TKD demo team so he had to perform in the 4th of July parade here . . . two miles with constant demos along the route. Temps at parade time in the low 90's but high humidity. Lost two kids (had to ride in the support truck) along the way due to heat. Then Smackl had to work the booth at the festival from noon until 5:00 with a full demo performance at 1:30. . . and all these kids/staff are wearing their standard uniforms(lightweight and loose but long sleeves and pants). He was a trooper . . . I didn't hear him complain once. He also knows that he totally has the day off tomorrow. He can plant himself in front of the computer and shoot all the zombies he wants.

Good to see you Loey and take care of yerselfs, Patti and Mark . . . and Loey!

Loweeee!!!! I've been wondering how you've been doing! Was going to do a shout out for you but you beat me to it!

Patteigh....sucks about the phlu. You and Mark get better soon ♥

Well, we had originally planned an all day motorcycle ride (yes...we still ride) with friends to go down across the Ohio River, but it was just too dang hot. So we ended up having a bar-b-que.

. Stupid rocks...

Them rocks will get ya! I once went hiking in a rocky national park (well, the trail wasn't rocky but there were rocks everywhere except the trail, and those rocks were all third rocks from the relentless SUN which held HEAT and we was gone most of the day. And I had a hat and two bottles of water, both of which I employed, but when I got back to the hotel for a nice cold amber one I was sick as a dog for two days (felt like sunstroke and heatstroke :P ) GAHHH. Avoided rocks ever since :rolleyes: And sun too!!! for the most part.

Sorry bunny :( ({{{HUGS}}} too)

YEAH! Lisa

"snort" Vscope

dat all?

Lovely 4th. Watched the fireworks from the boat - excellent view, and 'home' is 2 seconds away, down the ladder.

The bread turned out fabulous, and much easier to regulate consumption in 1 pound loaves. Even the Pirate thought it was good with home made butter.

Mulberry (the silkie) is broody again. She's managed to acquire 5 eggs which I've marked, and will leave under her (since I'd have to throw them away otherwise), and I'll check daily for new additions to limit her collection.

Play is done, auction is done, just sent in my little bit of work for the stat lab, forecast says 'no rain' - should be a fabulous weekend.

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared....

For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
