Purrs and long raspy licks back to Shadz from Jas and Libs... Among the bargains were two lovely azaleas and a native ground cover called Pratia (little white flowers) -- $4 each at a small nursery! I'm going back there... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045/page/2#post-471875 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:31:46 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 471875@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sounds like you had a great time bargain hunting. It is great to see more daylight hours at the end of the day.<br /> I'm yawning constantly here and really have to head off to bed, sorry to abandon you again. Enjoy sorting through your bargains again, headbonks from Shadz to Libby &amp; Jasper. See you tomorrow. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045/page/2#post-471873 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:28:02 +0000 jcat 471873@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awww, Shadz really loves her Airy. That's so sweet. Yep, it was a long day, but we had fun, my friends and I, ransacked the op and second hand shops and found some great bargains, there are some good outlet stores there as well. And the nice thing is, even at 7.30 to 8, you're not driving in the dark.</p> <p>I am pretty tired though. It works out at around a two hour drive for me each way... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045/page/2#post-471871 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:22:41 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 471871@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Why do the chiefs in TV here in NZ continually take programmes off mid series, it's so frustrating.<br /> Typical isn't it, you here but the good weather is over there. Ahhhhhhhhh. We had it hot here but also windy as usual. That was a long day for you.<br /> I'm just about to head off to bed, Airy and Shadz went up just a short time ago, Shadz is so glad to see Airy after she stayed away for most of this week. I see the spammers are back again. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045/page/2#post-471870 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:18:02 +0000 jcat 471870@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, MS, just popping in before bed. They've dumped Supernatural in the middle of the series, aarrrrghh! Didn't get back from Otaki till 8pm. It was the wrong day to go -- it was sunny and 20 degrees over here, and chilly and overcast and 16 over there... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045/page/2#post-471863 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:57:43 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 471863@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Peeping into the NS office, all quiet and kitties are dotted around the room in gently breathing bundles.

Cholesterol is made in the liver. It's good to do supportive things for your liver, it's the body's filter.</p> <p>SM you might want to try tea tree oil, too, on the incision. It's also an excellent antimicrorbial (has a strong odor but I'm not tempted to eat it like I am honey!)</p> <p>I'm heading to bed. Going to get up at 4am to clean the bathroom as the dishwasher is running now. Will sleep on top of the bed since I have fresh sheets on and I'm all dirty and stinky from cleaning but I'm too bushed to do anymore tonight.</p> <p>I am not responsible for what other people think, do or say or what they DON'T think, do or say. I need to say that out loud.</p> <p>Blessings and peace. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471801 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:51:54 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 471801@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hello all, Cheri, good for you on the knitting! I admire your patience and sorry you had to rip it out. Keep trying! Cm, Understand about the little ones. Don't know what is with Abbie and the crying. Dakoda right now just cut 4 top teeth, miserable sucker, she is. Kay giving her tylenol, but cranky as heck all week. Must be the kids torture week for parents and grandparents! Hang in there, call Kay if you need to vent, you 2 can do it together!!</p> <p>Raising a glass to MC as well, and wishing her a good night's sleep and a swift recovery that she may join us soon again.</p> <p>With that, going to bed, long day at work, body killing me. Til later, love to all and may the angels kiss you gently while you sleep. mama Lynn </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471799 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:49:20 +0000 NNGM 471799@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes, on my mom's maternal side, they apparently had no problems with cholesterol. My great-uncle ate bacon and eggs for breakfast every single morning, and he finally ended up dying when he was in his 90's - from emphysema, since he also smoked constantly. Some pretty healthy genes on that side of the family. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471797 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:48:45 +0000 CSBM 471797@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>i have finished my knitting for the night. and ive put the yarn out of Spice"s reach into a drawer.</p> <p>now it's off to read !!! and to check my blood sugar. i had a 6" subway sub tonight called "the feast". about 4 times the normal meat and a decent price - $5.25 for 6", 4 times the meat, 1/2 the bread, works for me... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471796 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:43:38 +0000 AV 471796@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>NNGM, you are SO right! about the hereditary thing!... my Mom, my Sis, my Bro... all have numbers around 230-250...... and we ALL thin people who eat heathy, and exercise!....I will also say, our grandparents, etc. lived to over 90+ (most in the late 90's) ..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471794 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:41:29 +0000 NNGM 471794@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Cheri, I used to knit years ago but gave it up when RT (who was a kitten at the time) very nearly killed herself by getting yarn wrapped around her neck. Fortunately I was there, realized what had happened, and cut it off. She was out cold though, and I really thought she was dead. It was awful; I put all the yarn right away. Now that I have older cats maybe I should try it again. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471793 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:38:17 +0000 NNGM 471793@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AV, it sounds like you may have a hereditary thing going on with the cholesterol. My mom does too; she has never been overweight and she walks all the time, but she has to be on meds because hers is high. Her father died when he was 70 from a stroke, so we certainly know where she gets it from.</p> <p>CM, I can't imagine how tired you must be! I hope Abbie can get settled into a good routine soon.</p> <p>Vicki, hang in there! You did make me laugh; 3 sliders with cheese? Actually, the worst thing I can think of for raising cholesterol was that risotto I had in Chicago when we had our TDK meetup. Bacon and egg! It was awfully good but really guilt producing. I made myself be extra good after that weekend. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471788 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:29:44 +0000 CSBM 471788@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>yay !!! yippee !!! yahoo !!! google !!!</p> <p>i think i am finally starting the get this knitting thing !!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471783 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:21:23 +0000 AV 471783@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Smart thinking on the ear infection, but if it's not that, it might just be a "battle of the wills".... CSI!.... am watching that too!

Is she rubbing at her ear at all?<br /> Vicki - I got a marginal cholesterol reading last year but have been exercising, eating properly (including oatmeal) and I'm hoping they have improved - must go back and get a recheck </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471774 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:00:55 +0000 cricketsmama 471774@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>well she is quiet now..lets hope for an all nighter !!! Hugs to all, thank you for the advice...off to watch CSI then hopefully bed!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471772 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:57:02 +0000 GizzysAuntie 471772@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>CM, the hardest part about being a mom is that the little ones don't come with instruction manuals. And they're all different! Don't feel dumb about asking your pediatrician questions. He's probably heard them all and would rather you ask questions than have you do something out of blind ignorance.</p> <p>VIckie, diets suck but those cholesterol numbers are really important. And I hate to shake your boat but once you get them down, you have to eat right to keep them there. I know. I have to watch cholesterol and blood sugar and blood pressure and it's no fun going through the cupboard saying, "Well, I can have one piece of toast and an egg OR a pear and an egg OR . . .with no salt." well, you get the idea. But don't despair, an occasional (and I do mean occasional) treat won't hurt. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471770 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:55:08 +0000 Jetta and Boo Boo's Mom 471770@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm peeping in again real quick. I've got company coming tomorrow and my house is a PIT. Sigh... anyway... CM you are NOT dumb and I agree, I think you are an awesome mom! Maybe she is having night terrors? It wouldn't hurt to describe to the doctor what is happening. Maybe there is a minor issue that needs to be corrected that you just cannot see/find. Again, not being a mom, I don't know, and I know the mom's here are giving you sound advice and comfort. But just like our fur-babies, they cannot tell us what is wrong so we take them to their doc. Maybe a quick check-up is in order, just to rule out any physical issues. Does she do this when she naps? </p> <p>Vicki - oh Vicki! There is a smorgasbord of AWESOME, WONDERFUL, HEALTHY food out there! Do some research on healthy fats. RealAge.com (Dr Oz and Dr Roizen) have a lot of info there. I love veggies and fruits. You can still have the "bad" stuff, just not as much/often, but the good food out there you can enjoy without guilt! Please don't be disheartened.</p> <p>SM - glad you are home and hopefully will be completely healed soon and today was just a bump in the road.</p> <p>I may or may not make it back tonight. Prayers for all who need healing, physical/emotional, kits and hoomins! Love to all. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471769 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:52:37 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 471769@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Greetings &amp; salutations, just relaxing this evening, watching a few episodes of Six Ft Under and hopefully sleeping. Spent most of the day with my best friend, it's her birthday and we wandered thru thrift shops, found a few treasures, ate out and now back home. And I bought a chaise lounge for my bedroom which will be delivered on Monday, that wasn't in the plans but it was too nice to pass up. </p> <p>CM, poor baby Abbie, I have no tips for you, none of mine went thru those moments I was very lucky with all three kids. I am just hoping that she gets tired and goes to sleep for hours not minutes. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23045#post-471765 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:46:28 +0000 Vicki 471765@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>For MC, I'll take a chocolate martini; for me, I'll take a White Russian (OK, so he doesn't have to be Russian... ;) ). For those who hadn't noticed the thread: What do those numbers mean?, I got the test results concerning my cholesterol levels, and they're some pretty funky numbers. I got so depressed I went to White Castle and got three sliders with cheese, a side of fries, and a red creme soda. In my defense, I was celebrating what would have been my grandmother's 105th birthday today. Now I'm afraid to go on a diet that may have to consist of wheatgrass juice, carrot curls, and tofu, since I won't be able to eat the good stuff until my LDL cholesterol and my triglycerides go down and my HDL cholesterol goes up. Oh, great, I sound like those old people on a Lipitor commercial; I'm only 38, and it stinks that I have to watch my diet while other people get to eat what they want and suffer no consequences. </p>
