Sillies I am a fat, gutter-wigged, slovenly, pre-menstrual bloated hag. Lovely. :huh:

They have some of those on the petfinder site as well. I understand that they're really hard to find homes for

Yeah, what she said . . . (I couldn't have said it better, Emily) . . . good thoughts for you both.

Ditto -- funerals are exhausting and painful but an important part of the healing process I think. As I'm sure you're well aware of Tom, it means a heck of a lot to the family to have friends of the person there.

And Jess, I'm so sorry about Sampson. I'm sure your other boy is helping to keep you strong.

I have a minor issue. Ryan and I are starting to plan a honeymoon and we're thinking of Bahamas or Bermuda or for an entirely different vacation, Disney World. BUT I think I've developed a fear of flying. I keep shying away from anywhere that would require flying. I don't know where this is coming from. I've flown dozens of time with my parents and a few times with Ryan and never a bad experience but now my palms start to sweat just thinking about it. I know it's ridiculous -- that the most dangerous part of your trip is the drive to the airport. Arggg. Hopefully I can overcome this. I don't want to limit my travels now or in the future because of an irrational fear. <_<

Looking at new friends. I don't deal well with empty spaces. I think Jimmy and Clarisse probably need to be a pair, and Leo looks like a demon in a cute suit.

Leo's a cutie!!! Are you up for a kitten though?? As much as I like puppies, I don't want to own another one.

Here's one I found when I went out shoppin' for ya'

I have no idea how far away that is . . . but her name just called out to me for some reason . . . :lol: . . . plus the exta toe thing is kind of cool. Would Lyle (is that his name?) prefer a boy or a girl???

Wow!! Out of despair sometimes comes some happinesss...Jess, you now have the opportunity to rescue another darling (or darlings)!...

Leo is absolutely adorable. Those two big adolescent siblings,however, kind of stole my heart. They will indeed be less "attractive" to the normal pet shopper, and will wait and wait while the darling kittens get scooped up...Jess, adopt them both!!! Please!!! :):):lol:

YES!!!!!!! the Silly Chalet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is brilliant...........yes Sarah, where DO we send the cheque??? :P

If I had a million dollars.....

Okay, a couple of million...... :rolleyes:

Weezee and I are jumping on the plane. Shall I just check my wheelbarrow through, or could that be a carry-on?

You know, that's not a bad idea....wheelbarrows would be great suitcases. They've got a wheel, they're easy to maneuver and push, and you could pile all yer stuff in 'em.

Sillies I am a fat, gutter-wigged, slovenly, pre-menstrual bloated hag. Lovely.

Oh, sure....... <_<;)

Ptaum - the funeral........are you going? I have to say, I really like funerals. :ph34r: I know, weird.......but - - people are suddenly in touch w/ their mortality, and usually are tender-hearted in their moments of reflection........happy to see old friends/loved ones, and bearing no artifice or pretense (usually). a lovely time to reflect and share................

Yep, in my experience also. I find them very tough, but you're right, Susie....people are grieving, and at their most real, I believe....

Didn't get to see Lars last night. It was on the illegal movie website, :ph34r: and it kept buffering and cutting out, so we gave up. I will rent it, however. Looks fab.

Hopefully I can overcome this. I don't want to limit my travels now or in the future because of an irrational fear. <_<

Okay, yet another job for our yeti! He loves to fly, and as Bev has said, he's very gentle, reassuring and calm. He can accompany you and Ryan on your flight to and from your honeymoon, and can make you drinks/provide protection/clear a spot on the beach for you. :lol:

ALEX!!!!!!!!! I have two friends and a mom who are beyond terrified of flying. My mom really almost will never do it........however if she IS forced to fly (every decade or so), she does take a valium or a xanax or sumfin. True story. My two friends will do this also, and it helps them enormously, as they just don't apparently care about their fear any more. :lol:

(there I am, pushing drugs again!! :lol: )

SILLIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what in hell am I going to make for dinner? we have a friend coming over....I am SICK SICK SICK of all my foods. :angry: want sumfin new................................. what r yer favorites, sillies? for a HOT summer's day (in May :blink: )

Kissey will NOT I repeat NOT eat the following......ever: :blink:

mushrooms

onions - in things, not in things

tomatoes *sniff*

fruit (seriously. only bananas, and the occasional apple - goes MONTHS without fruit and I am checking his gums fer skurveigh))

all veggies except 2 to 4 asparagus spears at a time, or TWO brussels sprouts.....or carrots or cauliflower

:huh:

oh wait - the good news - he WILL eat salad..........

the list is longer - baked dingo brain can't think - -

oh and by the way - he puts CHEESE and GARBANZO BEANS on everything :blink:

also - - I really want a hot dog and a bun. really, really badly. :( it's killing me. What do you guys do about this? may have to post topic on this..........am craving madly......

NICOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Weezee and I'll be over tomorrow, want damp, dank air, gloomy skies, boiled sweets, and a nap on yer couch wif a blankie.....can we drink hot toddies and eat snacks whilst we watch British films????? :D

Sounds like a plan! And if we go to Mexico, we'll definitely need him for protection -- another Canadian shot and killed in Mexico yesterday. In Cabo San Lucas too! My dad took a holiday to Cabo not too long ago. :unsure: (Saying Cabo is almost as fun as saying The Cape -- I think Cabo may actually mean Cape too?)

OK . . . yes . . . what is this return of the piggy-bat?? Apparently it was here before? What's it suppose to be/mean/do? It looks like a bat trying to . . . well, you know . . . with a pig!!! Is that the intent?? The bat's so blind, it can't tell the difference??? WHAT IS THIS THING??!!??

Susie, do you like PF Chang's Lettuce wraps? I've got a recipe for that. Will Kissey eat a little lettuce? Perhaps it's too saucy . . .

OMG I forgot about his sauce issues. :blink::lol: BUT HELL YEAH, gimme the recipe!!!!!!!!!! I could TOTALLY make this fer dinner tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or not - famous herbed/vegetable meatloaf on standby)

2 garlic cloves (I use the minced stuff in the jar)

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast coarsly chopped (could use ground chicken from store if you can buy it that way)

1 Tbsp dark sesame oil

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint (I skip this and don't miss it . . . who has mint just laying around the house)

3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce (I use LaChoy)

1 Tbsp peanut butter (I usually use double)

1 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp chili-garlic paste (Sometimes I substitute red pepper flakes or ground red pepper)

1/2 tsp dried ground ginger

2 green onions chopped (I usually skip this, too, unless I have actually planned ahead to make it)

Lettuce Leaves of choice (we use romaine)

I also either use chunky peanut butter or throw in a Tblspoon or two of chopped peanuts . . . we like the crunch.

Pulse garlic in food processor until minced. Add chicken and pulse until ground to the texture of ground beef. Cook chicken/garlic in hot sesame oil in large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until chicken is done. Stir in mint (if you're actually gonna use it) and the rest of the ingredients except for the lettuce. Cook until thoroughly heated. Spoon onto lettuce leaves or directly into mouth.

Susie, the hot dog buns are Kinnikinnik. We also get their hamburger buns. They are very good! Unfortunately, quite $$$$ as well....but worth it!

We use Ball Park Beef Franks - the ones that are individually wrapped so they (theoretically) have a longer shelf life. Oscar Mayer is part of Kraft, you can read the labels on their dogs to see if they're OK.

y'all never get far from food, do you?

Called about the kitties. The won't send a kitten to a home with an adult cat (WTH?!?!) and the other two are basically feral, and have a presumptive home, so that's good. Leo is cute enough that I'm sure he'll find a place.

Mango is quite cute, but several hours away. I'll keep her in mind and see if anything come up closer.

What's up with the piggy-bat. Is that like a coin saving device that sucks your blood if you only put in pennies?

Nah, someone took me in!!!!!! :P

Ugh....phobias STINK (mine is bridges but only when I am the one driving). There are some anti-anxiety meds you can get OR learn to meditate and visualize yourself LOVING flying. I think it must be one of the most common phobias.

My dad took a holiday to Cabo not too long ago. :unsure: (Saying Cabo is almost as fun as saying The Cape -- I think Cabo may actually mean Cape too?)

POOPY! I've always wanted to go to Cabo (now it sounds like Cape Fear!). Have to say I HIGHLY recommend Cozumel- so beautiful, incredible snorkeling!

OMG.....love Boar's Head and Hebrew National (cuz THEY answer to a higher authority- always crack up at their packaging). Only eat hot dogs in the summer. YUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hot dogs........ insert Homer Simpson voice!)

OK. I've got an update on my son. We've had a few appts/tests. Here's the synopsis:

Very minor allergic blip to milk and eggs (low end of Class 2 on a RAST test) . . . GI said not to worry about it.

Tonsils out with doc saying there was old infection.

And here's the latest . . . His Resting Energy Expenditure test says his metobolism is 27% higher than an average 9 year old boy, even though he's 15 pounds lighter. In order for him to catch up, he needs to be eating about 2000 calories/day!!! Every meal is a battle <_< . The good news is the GI was happy with a 3 pound weight gain in the last two months and so no more testing and he wants to see us again in three months to make sure he's still putting on weight. I wish I could eat for him . . . I have no problems with 2000 cal/day . . . also wish my metabolism was 27% higher than the average 43 year old woman <_<

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Just wanted to add that checking B12 and Vitamin D only is not going to give an accurate picture of vitamin deficiencies.   B12 Cobalamine needs the seven other B vitamins to work properly.   You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before the B12 blood level changes to show deficiency.  You can have "normal" B12, but have deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine and Niacin, for which there are no accurate tests. Take a B Complex supplement with all the B vitamins.  Take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine Mononitrate found in most vitamin supplements is not easy for the body to utilize.  What makes thiamine mononitrate not break down on the shelf also makes it hard for the body to absorb and utilize.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 deficiency symptoms include anxiety, depression and irritability.  The brain uses more Thiamine than other organs.  Take the B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and look for health improvements in the following weeks.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @rei.b, Ehlers Danlos syndrome and Celiac Disease can occur together in genetically predisposed individuals.  Losing ones gallbladder is common with celiac disease. I'm glad Naltrexone is helping with your pain.  Naltrexone is known to suppress tTg IgA and tTg IgG production, so it's not surprising that only your DGP IgG and DGP IgA are high.   Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol diet designed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself?  The AIP diet helps lower inflammation and promotes intestinal healing.   The AIP diet is a Paleo diet that eliminates foods that can cause intestinal inflammation until you heal on the inside, then more foods can be added back in.  The low histamine AIP diet will help reduce inflammation further.   Histamine is released as part of the immune response in celiac disease.  Foods also contain various amounts of histamine or provoke histamine release.  Lowering the amount of histamine from foods helps.  The body, with help from B vitamins, can clear histamine, but if more histamine is consumed than can be cleared, you can stay in an inflammatory state for a long time. Cutting out high histamine foods is beneficial.  Omit night shades which contain alkaloids that add to leaky gut syndrome found with celiac disease.  Night shades include tomatoes, peppers including bell peppers, potatoes and eggplants.  Processed foods like sausages and gluten-free processed products are high in histamines.  All Grains are removed from the diet because they are inflammatory and provoke histamine release. Blood tests for deficiencies in B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before blood levels show a deficiency.  Blood levels do not accurately measure the quantity of B vitamins stored inside the cells where they are utilized.  The brain will order stored vitamins to be released from organs into the blood stream to keep the brain and heart supplied while deficiency occurs inside organs, like the gallbladder.  Gall bladder dysfunction is caused by a deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 and other B vitamins.   The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea and constipation, and the malabsorption and inflammation that occurs with celiac disease.  Because they are water soluble, the body can easily excrete any excess B vitamins in urine.  The best way to see if you are deficient is to take a B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and look for health improvements in the following weeks.  Most B Complex supplements contain Thiamine Mononitrate which is not bioavailable.  The body has a difficult time utilizing thiamine mononitrate because it doesn't break down easily.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Remember your intestines are in a damaged, permeable state.  Treat them tenderly, like you would a baby until they heal.  You wouldn't feed a baby spicy bell peppers and hard to digest corn and nuts.  Change your diet so your intestines can heal.   I use a combination of B12 Cobalamine, B 6 Pyridoxine, and B1 Benfotiamine for pain.  These three B vitamins have analgesic properties.  They relieve pain better than other otc pain relievers.
