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!

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.

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 )

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!

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.--

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

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

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

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?

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?

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Yes. I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy. Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates did very little to help with symptoms

      Cristiana makes a good point and it's something I've pointed out at different times on the forum. Not all of our ailments as those with celiac disease are necessarily tied to it. Sometimes we need to look outside the celiac box and remember we are mortal humans just like those without celiac disease.

      Also suffer badly with gluten and TMJD, cutting out gluten has been a game changer, seems to be micro amounts, much less than 20ppm. Anyone else have issues with other food stuffs? Soy (tofu) and/or milk maybe causing TMJD flare-ups, any suggestions or ideas? --- I'm beginning to think it maybe crops that are grown or cured with glyphosphate...

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply. Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct. Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two...

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply.   Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct.   Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two, following my diagnosis - I pinned everything on coeliac disease, but it turns out I wasn't always right!  Dizziness, lightheaded - I was eventually diagnosed with cervical dizziness (worth googling, could be your issue too, also if you have neck pain?)  A few months after diagnosis I put my neck out slightly carrying my seven-year-old above my head, and never assigned any relevance to it as the pain at the time was severe but so short-lived that I'd forgotten the connection. Jaw pain - stress. Tinnitus - I think stress, but perhaps exacerbated by iron/vitamin deficiencies. Painful ribs and sacroiliac joints - no idea, bloating made the pain worse. It got really bad but then got better. Irregular heart rate - could be a coincidence but my sister (not a coeliac) and I both developed this temporarily after our second Astra Zeneca covid jabs.   Subsequent Pfizer jabs didn't affect us. Brain fog - a big thing for people with certain autoimmune issues but in my case I think possibly worse when my iron or B12 are low, but I have no proof of this. Insomnia - stress, menopause. So basically, it isn't always gluten.  It might be worth having your vitamins and mineral levels checked, and if you have deficiencies speak to your Dr about how better to address them?

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.
