I have been begging and pleading with my Dad for MONTHS now to get a llama......WHY you say? I don't know.....llamas are good for keeping predators away from cattle and sheep. We have cows (at my parents). So finally this week I found a llama that was for sale. Dad said he was "too much money" and we couldn't get it. However, the man selling him took less money for him and on Saturday (if all goes well) I will be the proud owner of a llama named Gus. I am terribly excited!!

If anyone has experience with llamas...share your knowledge. If you think I'm crazy....that's ok too ;)

You are not crazy. We don't have llamas - but we live in suburbia. We hope to get one or two or three when we move to Montana and have sheep or goats. Good luck to you!

Gus :D how cute!

There used to be a llama on a farm not far from here--I would pass by it every so often. The llama was adorable and always seemed to be standing near the fence watching the cars go by. They also has a few horses who wore the cutest "coats" in the cold weather.

Hope all goes well this weekend--I'd love to see a picture!

I just can't stop laughing that I own(will own) a llama named Gus. :lol:

Gus was abandoned by some people....that is how his current owner came to have him. This guy was going to breed llamas and "just never got around to it" so he was selling him. Gus sounds like a sweetheart and the sad abandonment story doesn't hurt my fondness for him. The guy says he's very nice, doesn't spit (which I guess is quite the bonus :P ) , is very curious. When I called the guy to ask about Gus...Gus was laying down outside with the guy's grandson....awwww!!

I have loaded film in the camera to take pictures. So I'll post one of him sometime soon. He doesn't arrive until Saturday and the wait is killing me!

I am one HACKED OFF chick!! The guy who we were getting our llama from sold him out from under us (or at least I'm pretty sure he has). I am so sad and upset. I went shopping today for a comb and a collar for him............ :( This guy that is selling him sounds like a real piece of work......who knows if he even HAS a llama for sale.

Aww, I'm so sorry.

And I was looking forward to llama pics.

Maybe it just means that there's a better llama looking for you.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
