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.

Thanks again everybody. I appreciate all the thoughts. :wub:

I don't like funerals.

I have trouble getting past how much I'll miss them.

Gardener's Badge :)

How do Americans spell Cheque? Just Check? That makes me giggle.

And that made me giggle too. :)

<wondering what happens if canuques like Aleques spellcheque cheque.... >

Hi Tom how are you? I understand how you feel about funerals. When I was going into 10th grade, my best friend was killed in a car accident....along with 2 other classmates....it was a rough time for me.

Jess how are you doing?

To all my other sillies, I miss you guys....work is taking its toll.

Alex---I am petrified to fly...I am scared that one of these days my work will make me go to a conference I cannot drive too....that scares me....

Hi Sillies!! Seems I am always getting on after everyone's gone to bed :( . Went to a job interview, trying to find work for summer break. Scared to death I won't have income for 6 weeks. Recent posts creating all kinds of mixed emotions :wacko: . The worst funeral I went to was for a student at my middle school----she went missing right before Christmas. Was found weeks later in a ditch, rather not discuss details.

Love the kitty pictures!!! :D Makes me want more, but I don't think I'd be able to keep up with all the hair :rolleyes: I should buy stock in those sticky hair/lint remover rollers :P

So sad about the cat :( phobias bite :(:( are cramps and bloating suck :(:(:(

YAY!!!!for no more tummy ache, hot dogs (especially grilled), ice cream, snorkeling, honeymoons, hugs, and sillies being there for each other :D:D:D

Can't even muster up enough energy to take care of my own yard, so not much use there....I think I need my own Yeti :P Can he cook and clean, too?

Morning Sillies.....how is everyone today....another rainy dreary and cold morning....very unspring like! Gotta get my work started talk to you all later...

Pull me in Sillies.....I dont want to work!

Morning, Sillies!

Ah, a four-day week...this is good. And you Yanks have one this weekend coming, yes?

Well, Elsie goes to the vet tomorrow for a check-up. We are concerned about her back legs... :( They are weak. When we run with her, they are stiff afterwards, and she hobbles around somewhat when she first gets up in the morning. She has had some trouble with the stairs at times, as well. If she were a fourteen year-old dog, I would not have concern. But she just turned a year old! Is it all the time she stayed cooped up in a crate? The dehydration? Oh, gad, I'm beginning to dread our appointment....This is the heart-wrenching part about adopting a dog. You just dunno the entire story..... :(

Have the final details happening for our trip to NYC! Gonna be there from the 3rd of July to the 8th, then likely off to Philly for three nights, doing I'm not sure what yet. Apparently there's The Franklin Museum, well worth seeing, and the Liberty Bell. Anyone got insights into fascinating, fun stuff in the city for tourists including two kids? Anyone gonna be around there in early July?!!

So I JUST found out that postage went up to 42 cents. I heard nothing about this. Wouldn't have known yet, except that I tried to mail some bills on Monday and they came back to me yesterday for insufficient postage. Thank goodness I've still got a bit of time on those due dates . . . I don't always mail too far in advance :ph34r: I am thoroughly annoyed!!!

THE MULCH IS COMING. . . THE MULCH IS COMING. . . my back and knees are achin' just thinkin' about it.

So Jess, seems to me that your partial to maine coon kitties.

They're very mellow cats. Not too snuggly, but like to follow you around.

HALLO Sillies.........I am thrilled to announce WE HAVE BABY BUNNIES! Kurt saw one the other day after Angus had been sniffing around the tool shed for days. I looked out the window this a.m. and there was one in the garden.....so so so cute!!!!!!! I was all grumpified until I saw him (or her!) and just got a big grin on my face!

Thanks again everybody. I appreciate all the thoughts. :wub:

No doubt, they are very very hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you made it through and pooped back in to let us know how you are. Still keeping you in my thoughts. :wub: :wub:

Wait- hold it- HOLD IT!!!!!!!! That must have been awful- I cannot imagine :( :( but I have to ask- are you a middle school teacher? I taught MS for 5 years (and HS for five) before I went back to school for a doctorate). OMG- I LOVE LOVE LOVE middle school. Actually, my dissertation will be in a middle school classroom. They are so phunny!

Well I hope our beautiful Miss Elsie just needs to build up her back leg muscles. A hug for her!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a long weekend! wait...all my weekends are long.

oh....I LOVE Philly- my friend from Philly is here and he says Franklin Institute (hands on science exploratorium), Old Towne tours (take in Liberty Bell), if it's nice out drive out to Valley Forge and hike (about an hour outside the city), South Street is funky, right over the bridge in Camden, NJ there is an AMAZING aquarium. Fairs or festivals at Penn's landing, baseball game Philly's.

JudyL lives outside too so she might have some ideas. My friend says the restaurant scene is AWESOME (you gonna eat that? :P )

I luuuuurrrrrrrve Maine coons. They are HUGE, and so laid back....

Bev!! Baby bunnies! Oh, that is heart-warming. :wub:

Thanks for that info on Philly! Kids and DH want to go to Washington, but it's another four hours in the car, and I've heard great things about the history of Philadelphia, and it's only an hour south of NYC...so I'm voting for three nights there....

I think stamps just went up a week ago....didn't they just go up though?

I have a Maine Coon....he will do nothing but love ya. He does follow me around....everywhere. Last night I woke up with him curled in my arms like a baby, just purring away. He is like a magnet on me. He is a very loyal kittty....bit of a furball too!

Philly is like an hour from where I live.....Silly Reunion and I know Patty and Judy are close....does that help sway your choice ;);)

Sillies it has been a month since I stopped taking my sleeping pills....I feel so much better now! The constant worry of needing them is gone as is the draggin in the morning!!! Had to share!

Talk to you all later!

OMG...Could I perhaps meet up with Amanda, Patti and Judy if we stop in Philly??! :):)

Excellent news on the good sleeps, Amanda. A drug-free sleep is absolutely the best....

Yes indeedie! :D

We could choose a Starbucks close to where you'll be staying and meet there. It's a good place to linger and talk.

Bev gave you great Philadelphia ideas. The art museum is beyond words fabulous! I think it's a must-see. The Liberty Bell, of course (doesn't take too long to walk through)--and Independence Hall which is right across the quad from it.

South Street is cool....you kids will get a kick out of it. Edgy, but fun.

Elfreth's Alley is one of the oldest streets in America. They have a tour which we took several years ago--very interesting.--

Wowwwwwwww Sill-adelphia '08!!!!!

And Bev's got Bunnies!!!!! :)

Jess - 1st glance I'd lean towards Max. (Do many cats look all eyelinered up??)

Is Lefty winking? ;) I don't think so. That missing eye freaks me out a wee bit. No .. .that's too strong. Gives me the willies? Maybe just the wee willies :P

well, the shelter lady said they'd get along great together, and it's kind of a trek to get there so I'm thinking...

Ladies and Gentleman- Good afternoon! How for fart art thous?

Maine coons are SO cool- love their paws too! Yes- baby bunnies! Saw another one and Angus and I had a long talk.....squirrels are OK to chase but baby bunnies are not. He agreed not to chase them until they're big enough to kick his arse (they turn into jackalopes in 4 weeks :P ).

I want to hold one!!!!!!! can I leave carrots near the nest or is that a bad idea?

;) <--- Mirror Image of the Lefty emoticon :lol::lol:

OK - I'm a sucker for the "not quite perfect" pets - added bonus is that Lefty would be quite an accessory for Talk Like a Pirate Day . . . you've got a couple of months to get him used to wearing a patch.

Max is gorjuss . . . but declawed . . . I always worry about declawed kitties . . . would he be an inside cat only?

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”
    • Dana0207
      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
