But seriously, did any one here realize that cows and deer stand north to south? :blink::blink:

Um, I was just told from infancy onward, incessantly when we were driving in the countryside, that when a bunch of cows are lying down it is going to rain. :huh:

Cows facing north south :blink: must ponder this next time I'm driving through Los Banos

YES! brilliant idea for Tea's deer issue! A gigantic magnet-vortex to pull them away!

I miss SArah too - haven't heard a thing. :(

my Kitteh IS the cutest thing ever - except for Weez :wub:

I will argue that I have the two cutest pets alive :wub::lol:

tornado!? scary!

yeah, welcome to Texas! I do love me a good southern lighting storm....did y'all know that I lived in Tulsa for a year? we don't talk about it too much :ph34r: but I do remember once, whilst walking, I was about three minutes away from home, and a storm hit abruptly....by the time I got home, I was soaked clear through to me undies :unsure: LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!

in other news......

Um.......can someone please tell me why the kitteh will eagerly scarf down a half a can of catfood in the morning, and flat out REJECT the very same can of remaining food in the evening? <_<

Quite picky fer a street urchin :lol:

and - this amuses me: whilst I put the canned food into the bowl I always break it up into tiny bits, for ease of eating for Kitteh..and then chortle to myself as I remember that....these are the creatures who tear legs and ears off wee critters they find in the yard, crunch the skulls, tear them limb from limb and then bring the remainder into the house...I think they can handle solid chunks of canned gruel cat food

:lol: :lol:

Good Morning, Psillies!

Well, all this talk of cats and their presentation of love-gifts........Jack was the recipient this morning (we have a cat door in the basement, so over the years have encountered many lovely things in the house, dead and alive.....birds, many mice, a young squirrel, two bunnies :( ). At 5 this morning, Jack heard Bryce in his room making very loud, strange noises.

He turned his light on and the cat had a nice, big, wiggling mouse in his mouth. Jack yelled, Bryce dropped the mouse and trotted out, I'm sure thinking "All right, there you are, my gift for you........why are you shouting at me?"

The Ripper picked the wriggling mouse up in about fifty kleenexes :o and put it in the toilet. Now the toilet is plugged. <_<

CATS.. . . . . . . . . . .......

Yep, plenty of rain here, too, POeter. .. . ...getting rid of the last o' that psnaough!

Paddeigh hope your weathering ok--

We are getting rain today-I am guessing it to be all day--dreary day. But I am off tomorrow so that is ok. I have my annual womens retreat to the gyn. Which I am not dreading for once since I want to get all checked over and see how things are since we have not gotten pregs yet.

My college buds are getting together this weekend with us. Always a good time. :):)

The Park-service is doing cut-backs :( and we have yet to see just how it is going to affect us. Does not look good :angry: Surely something good will come out of the bad....it always does (just not as fast as I'd like it to, usually).

Hope your day's shiny-bright in spite of the gloomy weather! :D

um.. . . . . . . . . . .......BOYS.. . . . . . . . . . .......

:lol::lol:

YES, boys.....but actually, I remain very impressed with Jack's mature handling of the situation. DD could barely hear Jack's recanting of what happened - -she was screaming and running away. Thank gawd Bryce did not wander into her room at 4:50 am. . . . ...

As The Ripper was recounting what happened, he said, "When I was prying the mouse out of Bryce's mouth, it was all wiggly, and I was going to put it out the cat door, but it was SO wriggly in the kleenexes that I thought I wouldn't make it and the mouse would jump out of my hands, so I threw it right in the toilet". :lol::lol:

Just kills me. So logical and grown-up. Good job, Jack. You certainly did NOT inherit any of those character traits from ME. . . . .....

Alas, me affair wif Steve is winding to a close.....I was over there in me jammies this morning but will bring the rest of the phood back over here this afternoon. It was phun whilst it lasted :rolleyes:

The affair is over. . . .. . .....you shared some good pyjama time, some food. . . .....

Patteigh, you haven't described Steve to us. Is he big? Standard size? Anything built-in? Is he white? :rolleyes:

Tareeeesuh, hope everything stays okay with these cutbacks. Keep us posted.

YAY! Amanda's got her yearly gynecological adventure! Just love these appointments.. . . . .... <_<<_<

:o Nik doesn't know informercials??????? probably just an American bit of buffoonery......they are 30-minute slots of time on TV quite late at night (usually begin around 2 am on network stations) selling some sort of crap.....absolutely fascinating, exaggerated spokespeople - current fave is the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer and that reeeeeeeeeeeeeally over-animated infomercial gal - forgot her name - must post link :lol:

OMG - I don't know why this didn't occur to me until just this minute - - Patti's refrigerators are named after my dad and my stepdad :o

my dad's name was Steve (Stephen) and my stepfather is Wayne :unsure:

what does it mean??? what can this mean?

and why did it take me this long to figure this out? :lol: :lol:

:wacko:

Jack flushed a live mouse down the terlet? WOT? :huh: poor, wee thing :lol:

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
