:lol: :lol: :lol: Just got this one from my mom!

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

Do any of my fellow sillies fly Southwest air? Wondering what your experiences are?

love southwest. You get exactly what you expect. If you are travelling far, the multiple plane changes suck, but other than that, I've never had any problems.

SWA and BA are the only airlines I choose to use.

Isn't Southwest the one where you'll want to go online & grab "group A" boarding 23hrs & 59min before departure time?

:lol::lol: yep, that's the one . . . and 59 seconds

So, I don't remember, but I think I told you guys that we were having some work done to our deck the last two weeks. Well, it was being done by a really nice "handyman couple" (I could never work with my hubby like that). Anyways . . . we have a little fish pond off of our deck and I was telling them that we can't seem to keep any frogs. We catch them and bring them home and then the first rainy couple of days where there are plenty of puddles around, they make a break for it. They told me they would keep an eye out for a frog at their house (with an actual pond as opposes to our "landscaped" one). The guy even went out frog huntin' early one morning but they came up with nuttin'!! They finished our deck last Thursday (and it looks beautiful). This morning at 8:15 they called to tell me that they stopped by reaaaalllly early and left a little container with a frog for the kids . . . and let me tell you, I'm probably at least a 20 minute detour off of the route they were headed on. How nice is that??!!?? The kids have named him Ripples. We've had one spotting since his release. Anybody know how to tether a frog to a pond??

Also, results of the knee appt . . . probable surgery for cartilage repair. I'll talk to a new doc (surgeon) late next week, surgery wouldn't be until end of summer/back to school time. . . and I don't need any sympathy, I'm actually glad to be taking some action. My knee has been bothering me so much that it has been keeping me from doing some of the things that I like to do and forget about spending any time with Sven, just too painful!!

Hear, hear! And stolen art, and the yeti-llama! :lol:

Susie, an interesting suspicion you have, there.... . ... .Llamalady is not giving us her real name, or her exact location, or much of anything, really... . ...She provided us with a map to her domain, but 'twas very cryptic....

Could it be?..... :huh:

Jeez, if only I could somehow nonchalantly get Llamalady to divulge her inseam measurement.....I'd know in a second if she's our yeti!

:rolleyes::lol:

Gian-knit, keep us posted on your knee. I completely understand when you get to the point where you're just ready to do whatever needs to be done to be able to move on and get it behind you. :)

We have a coy pond, and I find that the frogs tend to come and go--we had a large one that appeared as soon as the weather warmed up. He's gone now, but in his place is a smaller one. I have no idea where they come from, or where they go :lol:

Hopefully, your new guy will stick around!

Sounds great, Janet! It is amazing what they can go in and do with major joint repair nowadays. Come autumn, Sven might be knockin' on yer door....... :)

Does anyone else suspect that our lost, neglected, embittered yeti just might be behind the disappearance of these Silly frogs? :o

Maybe you could call your local pet store and say you are interested in a leash for your pet frog....see what kind of response you get :lol::lol:

And good for you for taking action on your knee Janet, a couple of my family memebers had this done, or something similar and it made a night and day difference for them.

Done that. Start physical therapy now, if you can. Makes the recovery so much faster.

Just a driveby... gotta start dinner in a minute.

Janet,

Are you sure you don't have a snake in residence? Sometimes, as soon as you get a good frog population going, a snake will move in because... well, they want to eat 'em. So the frogs take off. Some snakes will just pass through the area, but other species like to settle down at a nice pond-- they won't leave until you make 'em.

Have never seen a snake at this house . . . I think one of us would have seen one by now if that was our problem (and this would also have filled my children's hearts with glee). I have heard that if a frog finds your pond, he will stay. If you bring one to your pond, he will eventually leave. Problem is, frogs just don't "happen" by our little pond . . . perhaps I should put out signs.

      Am I celiac or not?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I have posted a lot on here and find that the support , advice and information here is much more helpful than anything else.. ever. I am really tired of the back and forth advice in the medical community and I am beyond frustrated and over all of it currently. I will try to keep this as brief as possible. I have positive TTG IGA antibodies - and I have had these every time I have been tested. The first time they were positive I was told I did not have celiac and couldn't have celiac but I was gluten intolerant and to go gluten free. I did this for about 3-4 months, dedicated I might add, and I did feel better. However, my blood glucose went up drastically and since I was already pre-diabetic and insulin resistant already, I was then told to stop the gluten free diet and resume eating gluten as it would be better for my diabetes.I have been on a yo yo diet and roller coaster since between the gluten free and not gluten free. I decided to see a gastro doc and after him promising me I had celiac based on all my symptoms and positive antibodies but we needed that actual diagnosis in order to be treated correctly, and we just needed the EGD with biopsies to have that diagnosis, I reluctantly agreed to go fully on the gluten challenge for 8 weeks prior to having an EGD and colonoscopy, both with biopsies . The gluten challenge was miserable. At first I was horribly constipated, I gained 9 pounds during the challenge, had horrible swelling issues, terrible bloating, looked and felt pregnant, had rashes and itching, couldn't stay awake, had extreme brain fog, exhaustion, speech difficulties, palpitations, tachycardia , menstrual issues, had an insatiable hunger, mood swings, just all the things. All of this to get the tests and biopsies done and they looked "okay" .. so even though I was told to live like a celiac all of the sudden I am no longer at risk.. I am just gluten intolerant.  I also have uncontrolled diabetes that they feel is made worse by the gluten free diet, so again after all these tests, but having all the symptoms and still having positive antibodies I feel like I am stuck with the choice in regards to my health of addressing the diabetes or the celiac (still don't believe I am not actually Celiac).  So I have been having gluten off and on to try and manage my diabetes, even though most recently, because I have been so physically sick again (that can't be good for diabetes either right??)  with stomach pain, burning, diarrhea, stools that are yellow in color and contain mucus, nausea, some vomiting, sour stomach, I was told I need to just eat gluten free so my stomach will improve, and we will just put you on insulin - I don't want to go on insulin yet, and especially if I do not actually have to. I don't understand why I am backed in this corner of feeling like I have to choose to eat for my diabetes or my stomach, but not both, but I am over it.   So currently in regards to GI symptoms - I consistently have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, gas , bloating, reflux, sour stomach, yellow stools with mucus.  I am also exhausted and have been itching. I have been having increased swelling, pain, and horrible numbness and tingling, especially in my hands. I am also having an increase in relentless nightmares and night terrors. I have also been having chest pain and palpitations and tachycardia. I have even tried taking digestive enzymes to help break down gluten - (specifically the Gliadin X) and they just seem to make me feel worse. I have trouble with digestion of things like salads, beans, broccoli, etc. on a good day, and that is even worse when I have gluten on any kind of semi-regular basis.   I just can't keep doing this. Mentally, physically and emotionally I am just DONE. I already have a lot of stress in my life.. I am a single mom to a daughter who has her own health issues and is somewhat special needs. I need to be 100% to be what she needs from me, especially with all the running back and forth we have been doing to the doctors and hospitals. So I am no doctor... but I just don't think they are right about any of this. I truly feel I am celiac.. and either the damage just wasn't bad yet, or they just missed the area that has damage, or its all a precursor to full blown celiac (kind of like pre-diabetes/insulin resistance is for actual diabetes). I don't want to live miserable and feel bad all the time. I also don't want my diabetes to be so out of control I have major complications, and I don't feel like insulin is a great option if not truly needed. At this point, if I ever feel like I have a somewhat clear path of what I am dealing with,  I feel like I am looking at MONTHS to YEARS of trying to heal my body. Please help!

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      No, I have not been checked for any other deficiencies or issues. No one will check these things since my EGD looked normal and there was no damage. I recently saw my gastro doc and it is just frustrating. I have diabetes, which is basically uncontrolled, and I keep being told, stop eating gluten free, because the gluten free diet is contributing to my diabetes worsening. Then I am told oh just eat gluten free and you can go on insulin, which I don't feel like is a good answer either. So I end up eating gluten because they tell me it's okay or that I should bc of my diabetes. I am so sick today - physically mentally emotionally - just tired of this roller coaster ride.  I am open  for any realistic advice... I feel like I get more support here than in real life
