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.

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.

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>

POeter, Becky is beeeeeoootiful. :)

She's big - - but not as big as your gentle giant.... .Oliver, isn't it? He's over twenty pounds, I'm sure you've said, and six feet long, er sumfin.... :rolleyes: . .. ..didn't you tell me that his face is on a commercial cat food package, or kitty litter?

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>

:lol:

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 <_<

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic acid accumulation caused by the inhalers: Shoshin beriberi provoked by the inhalation of salbutamol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12951730/    Significant Lactic Acidosis from Albuterol https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5965110/ Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7263006/ Lessons of the month 1: Salbutamol induced lactic acidosis: clinically recognised but often forgotten https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6964186/ An Overview of Type B Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine (B1) Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10731935/   Thiamine has antifungal and antibacterial properties.  Thiamine helps keep Candida in check.  Thiamine helps keep SIBO in check.  Thiamine helps with black mold, Aspergillis infection.  Riboflavin helps fight Candida infection in the mouth. Riboflavin Targets the Cellular Metabolic and Ribosomal Pathways of Candida albicans In Vitro and Exhibits Efficacy against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36625571/   Thiamine deficiency can make ones voice hoarse and can cause localized edema.  Niacin deficiency can make ones voice hoarse.  (Niacin deficiency and Thiamine deficiency can each cause irritability, agitation, and lability.) Hoarseness in pellagra https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21507655/ Hidden Hunger: A Pellagra Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8152714/   Anesthesia can cause B12 deficiency.  B12 deficiency can show up as mouth sores and geographic tongue, diarrhea, and dementia. Vitamin deficiency, a neglected risk factor for post-anesthesia complications: a systematic review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11823251/ Neurologic degeneration associated with nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/ Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord following nitrous oxide anesthesia: A systematic review of cases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30144777/ The Effect of Vitamin B12 Infusion on Prevention of Nitrous Oxide-induced Homocysteine Increase: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4052402/     Eating a diet that is heavy in carbohydrates can precipitate a thiamine deficiency.  As the amount of carbohydrates consumed increases, additional thiamine is needed, otherwise the carbs will be stored as fat.   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/   The deficiency symptoms of some of the B vitamins cause gastrointestinal symptoms that resemble the same symptoms as when being glutened.   Thiamine deficiency can present as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain (Gastrointestinal Beriberi).  Niacin deficiency can present as diarrhea (Pellagra = diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, then death ).  B12 deficiency can present as diarrhea or dementia.  Not everything is caused by hidden gluten.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing foods are. Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels, but do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with the eight B vitamins, Vitamin C, the four fat soluble vitamins and minerals like magnesium.  Your physician can give you a shot of B12 before anesthesia administration.   By the way, Celiac Disease genes have been traced back to having originated in Neanderthals.  I'm not a singing teacher on the net.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins are doing inside the body.  I've experienced nutritional deficiencies myself. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Welcome to the forum, @jnstefan! She should start feeling better within a week or two if she is truly avoiding gluten and if she isn't also showing intolerance to other foods. It is quite common for celiacs to be dairy intolerant (not just the lactose but the protein casein in dairy) and to oats (protein is avenin). Casein and avenin have structures similar to gluten. We call this cross reactivity (not to be confused with cross contamination). So, you might look at pulling these two food items from her diet to see if there is improvement. But achieving a gluten free state is more challenging than people realize when the first start in. It is hidden in so many foods you would never expect to find it in like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, just to site two examples. This might help:

      My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac 2 weeks ago. We've been on gluten free diet now for 2 weeks. She still experiences abdominal pain at times , and is struggling with fatigue. What is everyone's experience with how long it takes for the body to heal and stabilize after starting the gluten free diet? Thanks for any feedback!
    • thejayland10
      thank you for the insight  Thank a small elevation can be due to this or is it more likely to be cross contamination ?

      HEY HB333!! Did you ever find out what you had???  I’ve been having those same things for 10 months almost a year now!! but I’ve also been in extreme agonizing hell!!  With those bumps, I’ve become itchy everywhere to the point we’re not be able to do anything but itch and cry for hours!! they have gotten so bad they’re all over my body head to toe. I have stuff coming off my scalp and stuff coming out of my ears and all my nails are brittle and breaking and I’ve got stuff under my nails and it’s even in my nose and my eyebrows, and I don’t know what to do!!!   But I’m having those little bumps just like you and white stuff around them and then my hair follicles have white stuff on them and my skin is breaking open and leaking white stuff and my dermatologist in the ER won’t help and I don’t know what to do!!! nobody knows what it is!! I really need help!! did you ever figure out what it was???
