From the word detective:

Open Original Shared Link

Hell's Bells.

Now I posted this for Nikki . . . but it brings up a question. Emily, is your poodle boy, Gus, somewhat 'effeminate'?

Actually, my Gus is, upon SOBER reflection, :P somewhat...dandyish. He certainly prances about with a swishing tail and has beautifully coiffed curls. Picturing these qualities in a human male, one immediately thinks effeminate to the extreme. Great. Now I will be foreveer thinking of my big dog's endearing goofiness as nauseating, Victorian dandy-type sappiness.. :lol::lol:

But hey....He is a poodle...

Their alpacas were very curious. Would get in your face to sniff you but if you reached out to try to pet them, they would scoot away . . . fast!

Sounds like a great family outing, Janet...you lucked in! This alpaca behavior you have described peaked my interest. I wonder if our yeti shares some DNA with these creatures, as he is doing exactly this! Gets in your face to sniff you, but scoots away fast when you reach out.

He may be picking up some...undesirable...behavior from my animals, and it's probably time for him to go elsewhere. I've caught him doing the cat massage thing on several surfaces (now there's a clip for youtube), and he's been...prancing a bit. And there's quite a production when the mailman comes....poor man. Time to ship yeti off, methinks...

Alpaca's are so neat, did you see any with two different colored eyes?... so cute and you're right, curious too!

Gaaahhh....really? Well, perhaps there is alpaca DNA in my DH, as he has a blue eye and a hazel/brown eye...He is rather curious. Now, I must think--does he get in my face to sniff me? Hmmmmm.....

Just pooping in real quick- still haven't finished catching up here. Not going to even try anywhere else on the board. I've realized that I have NO time for ANYthing when the kids are home on vacation.

BTW, today is Luke's birthday! My baby is 7 years old today, how is it possible?????????

Sabrina's crappy mom- BAD :angry:

Peanut Butter- GOOD :D

Banging Pots- Never heard that one, but I'm gonna do it next year!

Various illnesses- BAD :( I hope everyone feels better soon.

Chunk of Poop on a Hotel Mattress- Oh so very BAD!!!

The weather's been in the teens the past several nights, and not getting above freezing during the day. Yet we have no snow, and that is BAD. :angry: If I'm gonna freeze my arse off, I want to at least be sledding down a hill.

That would also describe my bird ... he's very beautiful ... and he preens all the time ... he loves being told how pretty he is ....

A male poodle ... poor thing .... I'm sure he wishes he were another breed.

I know where your problem happened, Susie...you exhibited dignity. In this retail situation, one must act somewhat beaten. Not desparate, just at the end of one's rope, with all self-respect teetering...

Offering to sleep with one of the straight, male clerks could yield results quickly, as well...

Um, hallOOOOOOOO, don't you think I volunteered to sleep with ALL THREE of them? Shyah, that's the first thing I did, silly. :lol:

no no, not too much dignity, there was more than a hint of panicked desperation about me......

OMG! Emily, has it occurred to you that your MIL might just HATE musicals???? Not kidding....God forbid, if I had to sit through Mama Mia, I'd need: a FULL flask; some jewelry-making supplies and a good light to see by (by which to see); a soft pillow and a blankie for my nap; AND my Ipod.

*snigger* :lol:

Seriously - - for me to sit through Mama Mia, Jersey Boys, Hairspray, any of those......

PURE

and

COMPLETE

SEEMINGLY ENDLESS

CACAPHONIC

MIND-BOGGLING

TORTURE.

:huh:

Sounds a tad metrosexual to me

:lol: metrosexual POODLE ha ha ha

Now . .. . . .shopping time . .. . . I *MUST* find an undulating parasitic picture frame TODAY!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

*snooooort*

another one of those sentences found only in Sillyville.......AND one to stump the hoi palloi who pop in at their own risk.......... :lol:

OMG - my ipod died, did I already tell you guys this? that's right - IT DIED ALSO. :angry: so, I went to the Mac store, he diagnoses the problem (dead battery) and tells me I have to go to the APPLE store in this HIDEOUS mall TO WHICH I NEVER GO. Thank gawd, the ipod IS still under warranty.........we can only hope they'll replace it..........

No problem, I say, I"ll just go over there now.....and hten he says that I need an APPOINTMENT :blink: to go into the store and have my ipod looked at. That's right, even if you walk into a COMPLETELY EMPTY STORE, they will not deal with your sick Ipod.

What the hell??????????? :angry:

So, he made an appt. for me ONLINE (the only way you can do this, but who knew), and I am so profoundly grateful, because I would have been one SPITTING mad dingy had I driven there, searched for parking, walked all the way into the mall and then been rejected.......

So now, I am goign to write a letter to whoever's in charge at Apple (Steve Jobs?) complaining about this horribly incompetent, inconvenient, and user-hostile arrangement.

;)

forgot everything else.

Hi Susie-

My IPOD is acting up, it won't take any music from my computer...the IPOD screen keeps saying connecting....very frustrating as I have new songs I want to transfer over :)

Susie, you can make appts. in the store, too. But you might not get an immediate appt., they take them in the order people make them. (We have three Macs, four iPods, and two iPhones, so that's how I know this, lol). It's actually a good system ... you don't have to stand around and wait in LINE all day!!!

DINGO DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub:

Yes, absolutely!! Wow, the information I've garnered on these incredible animals makes me truly wish that Gus were one.. Susie, you've never mentioned that your breed is an accomplished tree-climber...and has no dew-claws, chooses a mate for life and will often mourn itself to death over the loss of its partner.

Tree-climbing!! Gad, my dog just pees on them... :rolleyes:

What an unusual, astonishing animal!! Who'd a thunk??!

:angry: eeeeeeeeeeee-villlllllllllllllle!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh* how I long for the days when......we left the house in the morning and came home at dark, weeds in our hair and happy scrapes on our knees from our savagery......you had ONE TV and it just plugged in the wall, w/ rabbit ear antennae - the children were the remotes. :lol: The phone rang, you didn't know who was calling, and you answered it......and only if you were home could people speak to you......and there was a hideous stereo cabinet, with vinyl records.............and there were these things called LIBRARIES where you went to get your information..........

It's just all so bloomin' complicated now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

I am SO a Luddite! :lol:

Dingos are fabulous.........Tika actually, in her thin-ness, looks very much like one....but it is Annie who climbs trees. Stinker, of course, was a phenomenal mountain-goat/climber in her day - - did some really astonishing things...........

Now we are all just slovenly, lazy hags :lol:

BTW you do know, dear Emily, that my girls aren't REALLY dingos........ :blink: they just sort of look like them, and have cattle dog/kelpie tendencies.......... :lol:<oh dear, have I shattered all the illusions now? am I a fraud? But can I please stay? I like it here> :lol: :lol: :lol:

((Nodding slowly, rubbing chin))....Something I've long suspected ;) ...as true dingoes would be an impossible find in an American shelter (the girls were rescues, were they not?). But Susie, the way you describe their climbing, they could well have a bit of the Aussie wild dog in them, as no other breeds are known to tackle trees. Not so fraudulent, methinketh... :lol::lol:

OMG - have discovered a new Canine Stink Riddeth product - - this Arm and Hammer baking soda/ floor sprinkling thing - - sprinkle it into carpets, leave for a bit (smells LURVELY!!!!!!!) and then vacuum........I am rather excited..........

Either way the Dingo's sure are cute!

      Recipe Apps?

      By lmemsm · Posted

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.

      food app

      By lmemsm · Posted

      Open Food Facts is a free food database: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/discover  There's an app to access it which is also free (with no in app commercials).   You can use it to look up information about foods such as ingredients, Nova score (to help avoid ultra processed foods), environmental impact and nutritional scores, allergy related information and more.  It can scan a product's barcodes and bring up relevant information about that product.  The project relies on volunteers to share information about products.  We can add information on our favorite gluten free products to share with each other.  It has several gluten free items in the database already:  https://world.openfoodfacts.org/cgi/search.pl?search_terms=gluten+free&search_simple=1&action=process  I think it could make a great tool for people with celiac.

      OTC pain reliever that are gluten-free and corn free??

      By lmemsm · Posted

      You could try white willow bark, but make sure it's in a safe dosage range.  Herbs aren't regulated the way prescriptions are.  White willow bark works a lot like aspirin but is often milder on the stomach.  I used to use Nature's Way white willow bark.  I was told it was corn free at that time.  Double check with the manufacturer to make sure it's free of any of any allergens you're concerned with.

      Be sure to bring this up with your doctor, as there is always the possibility that you've got other issues besides celiac disease.

      Thank you - I am fighting the good fight. I feel like when I see improvement then I go back downhill again.  What I do know is if I can’t get past this fatigue and loss of appetite I’m heading for problems.
