Emily, check yer ho' tub fer some barge poles.

Crap.... . . . .it would seem that anything is possible. :lol::lol:

What are barge poles used for? Phunny, but I seem to recall Mr. Chow telling me that as a young man he worked for a time on a huge freighter/barge that travelled between Hong Kong and Vancouver........

Significant?

Coincidence? :rolleyes:

I just don't know anymore. . . . . . .

:lol:

So, today is bit of an anniversary for us. It was eight years ago today that we took over our original store. We were there for almost six years, before moving to our current location in September, 2006.

POeter! Congrats! Great pic of you and Queen Jacquie!

When you were telling Bev that you have an excellent product for urine stains, I realized that you also have an excellent product for Mr. Chow's significant tooth decay issues (so bad that he's lost teeth) - -those fabulous all-angle doggy toothbrushes. . . ..I shall mention these to him . . . .. :rolleyes:

I'm subseqently developing a ritual of focusing on a page (can you say ooooohhhhhmmmmmm?), which requires me to go back, and go back, and time loses all meaning. Am supposed to like, sit a certain way? or perhaps there are ritualistic phrases that need to be said? Kow Tow (cow toe?) and bump my forhead on the ground?

Hey, Tareesah!! Well.....you do NOT need to sit in any particular way, but hovering above a public toilet seat - - now, for this there is a technique. Go back about 1,000 pages..... . .

:lol:

GO BACK? GOOOOO BAAAAACK??? No! I won't go! I can't go, I don't have time! You can't make me (but you tempt me, you do). I'm not even supposed to be here now! (maybe I'll peek back there tomorrow, though). I just wanted to make a brief stop. See y'all later.

Peter . . . Lovely new av . . . What does Becky weigh in at??? She looks like quite a armload . . . but is it all hair???
At last weighing, Becky was 17 pounds. The dear girl really should lose about ten percent. She is long-haired, and there is a lot of it, but there is a big cat under it all. We are trying to get her to lose, but it is not working very well. She is down from a peak of 18 pounds a year ago.

You can see Becky a bit better in this picture, which is an outtake. The first attempt at the photo had Jacquie holding Becky and me holding Caramel, but Caramel wasn't cooperating, and she had wriggled out of my grip a fraction of a second before the photo was taken. :o You can just see her right ear and part of her head at the bottom of the picture as she drops to the floor.

For the second year running, we have been voted 2008's "Best Pet Supply in North Toronto" by the readers of the North Toronto Post. The editor of the franchiser's internal magazine asked for the photo so she can include it with an item about us in the first 2009 edition. We're pretty happy about that! :)

Oh, Bev, so sorry about your pants. We have a great product here in the store that works very well on urine stains. :lol:

Congrats Pieter- love the pics- all three of your girls are beauties :D

Thanks for the offer but i already used Nature's Miracle on me pants. No stain, no smell :lol: <SNACKLE>

Oliver is pictured on the bag for Enviro-Litter, a biodegradable pine litter sold as our private label. In the linked photo, he is lying on the table on the deck, and Tuppence is on the chair in the foreground.

....and I think from now on I better just focus on the current events (even tho' previous posts are hilarious!) Later.......T

For your sanity, tis better if you just go with the flow and stick to the here and now. Topics change so frequently, anyway......and just keeping up with the present is enough to make you late for work, ignore your family, and forget to bathe :ph34r: I have been here since....May....I think :unsure: As you have noticed, time has no meaning here. And I still do not know the origin of some things....such as the Yeti. I can simply take comfort in knowing that.......he just is.

<ohhhmmmm>

GAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!....You just had to say that, didn't you??? :rolleyes: I will not rest, now, until I find it!

You can just see her right ear and part of her head at the bottom of the picture as she drops to the floor.

:lol: ....and Becky is looking at her like......." What the freak is wrong with you?"

Forget what else I wanted to comment on <_<

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Betsy Crum · Posted

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      By trents · Posted

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be sure to carefully check labels for any wheat warnings, thoroughly rinse lentils and beans before cooking, and consider contacting the manufacturer directly to ask about their gluten testing protocols. Many in our community have found that investing in certified gluten-free brands gives them greater peace of mind and helps avoid accidental gluten exposure, especially for higher-risk items like flours.
