Enjoying the A.C right now.  The real trouble starts later into the afternoon.  The heat kicks up thunderstorms, and there is a risk of losing power.

I'm doing both the Rotary Auction and The Ovation production right now.  Weekend days spent in a large room full of dishes... evenings spent on a platform in a little closet that smells like teenage boys.

I have chicken stories...

 

Two moms with chicks two weeks apart.  I looked in the coop last night to see if mom and older chicks were already roosting and no longer using the nest.  Discovered the silkie (mom with younger chicks) up on the roost and the other hen on the nest with all the kids.  Older kids are so big that just their heads fit underneath and their backsides stick out.  It looked so weird to see a white hen sitting on a black feather pillow that I stared at them for probably five minutes before I figured out that it was a chicks butt coming out from under her chest.

I wish you could all be teleported!!! Em & family have been in Mass. since Wednesday. Poeter & Jacquie left this morning. The rest of us are heading up tomorrow. We're meeting for dinner at 5 at Joe's in Peabody (giving you all the details in case anyone decides to take an unplanned trip). We will hijack the restaurant with our psilliness. After rabble rousing til closing we'll get some sleep before reconvening for brunch at the Fireside Restaurant in Brookline section of Boston. There will be much laughter, tears, and hugs (and hopefully plenty of picture's. All of you will be in our thoughts and conversations.

Love & (((hugs)))

Even chickens like to hire a baby sitter occasionally!

Eat some good food for me in Boston! Will be expecting pictures and some tales of raucous behavior!

We are leaving first thing in the morning! Watch for pics on FB-- I so wish *all* of us could be there....

About the pics--it's very rainy and humid here in the northeast, so pay no attention to my hair. <snort>

Loey Rising Star

This can be the First Annual Psilly Psummit to be followed by many more (perhaps Ellen will still answer Em's email). You will all be sorely missed  :(

 

P.S. Poeter & Jacquie arrived safely.

We're in Malden about 12 miles SW of the Saturday dinner venue.

I'm stacking random piles of items to be packed but haven't actually started packing yet. I really want to sleep but am still too excited. We will keep you posted on the psummit.

Trust me you will all be missed!!! We will all drink a toast to everyone who couldn't join us.

We're on our way to Boston as I type. I hope this will be the first of many Psilly Psummits!! We couldn't have done it without Bev. She found and booked our dinner & brunch. And we were all staying in different cities. No easy feat!

Check for updates!!!

Love & (((hugs)))

Ah Souxelle....don't make me come out there! I miss you lots, as we all do :)

I'm still hoping for a Summit that somehow everyone can attend. <wishfulphace>.

I have three of the plump little meat chickens left (for another month anyway) and two of them are roosters.  Well, two roosters is too many in most chicken books and these guys decided to have it out.  Picture two sumo wrestlers wearing chicken suits stomping around in circles.  They managed one circle, puffed up their neck ruff, then plopped down, because standing is way too much trouble....

OH...I do love the chicken stories. Uh...I think they are closely related to reality , at times. :rolleyes:

I do too.....but I think this one may not end well for the " plump little meat chicken".

Jestgar Rising Star

Chicken reality is so much better...well....maybe not for the chickens.....

 

I am afeared of what will happen when the Tom turkey reaches sexual maturity.  The little silkie rooster could be in for a tough time.

Hi dear psillies, hope you're having a wonderful 4th of July!

Judy (Lockyer) wanted me to let you all know she's having surgery tomorrow. She would appreciate prayers, positive energy or any other good thoughts you can send her. She didn't feel up to posting (and also didn't want to post something unpsilly here). She misses her Psilly pfamily.

Love,
Loey

Loey Rising Star

Judy is back home and resting.

Jestgar Rising Star

Thanks Loey, I was hoping for an update.

      Staci, take note of the forms of magnesium and zinc I recommended. With some of the vitamins and minerals, the formulation can be very important in how well they are absorbed. Many of the vitamin and mineral products on supermarket shelves are in a form that maximizes shelf life rather than bioavailability which, in your case, would seem to be a critical issue. And with magnesium, if you use the typical over the counter form (magnesium oxide) you may find it has a definite laxative effect (think, "milk of magnesia") simply because it isn't well absorbed and draws water into the colon. Spend some extra money and get quality vitamin and mineral products and research the issue of bioavailability. There are forum members who are knowledgeable in this area who may have recommendations. Do you have Costco stores where you live? Is Amazon available to you?

      And yes, of course it's better to know and we will adjust.  It's just, he's 7 and in our house we can control what he gets. But he plays soccer 3 times a week and in the changing room the boys share candies. I can and will tell him not to accept them any more, but "mistakes" will be made.   I'm really burdened by the potential social impact for him. He so loves to go to a restaurant as a family - I'll guess that's finished. Going to birthday parties at another kids house? I am reading about Coeliacs and apparently the fact that something as much as TOUCHED something with wheat is enough, even if he doesn't feel the symptoms - how can we control that bar from keeping him locked up?    And the worst worry of all: how do you tell a little boy to do all of this to not have symptoms that he does not have. If he'd been having horrible diarrhea or feeling really tired, we could tell him 'see, you feel so much better now, that kind of food was just not good for your body', but now, what will our argument be? For clarity: of course we will put him on the diet, I am not saying I don't believe in the necessity of that, it is just that it will be quite a stretch to 'sell' it to him 😞

      I’m 41. You have helped me achieve the goals of finding a way of getting nutrients into my body so I will see how it works for me. Thank you so much.
    • Kathleen JJ
      Thank you for your reaction. The reference values are both "<10", although I found a medical paper from Netherlands (I'm Belgian) who use the same values and there the see a positive daignosis as twice more then 200 and a positive biopsie. I didn't see how to change this in my original message, sorry...

      Hi Kathleen Welcome to the forum. I am based in the UK so I am just picking this post up before our US based moderators appear.  I think they will want to know the lab values of both of the figures you have provided us with (min/max reading) as they tend to vary - could you post those for us, please? We see a lot of coeliacs who also have helicobacter pylori on this forum.  I am not sure how that would reflect in the blood results so I will leave this to be answered by my more experienced colleagues @trents or @Scott Adams. Obviously, you won't really know for sure where things stand until you have your meeting with the consultant.  I am sorry that you have to wait, but it will be worth knowing one way or another.  Apart from his recent gastric issues, it is fantastic to know that your son is otherwise a picture of health.  But it is worth bearing in mind that undiagnosed coeliac disease can cause health issues in the longer term, so far better to know now if he does turn out to have coeliac disease and adapt your son's diet accordingly, before other health issues have a chance to appear.
