What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

[HarryBeau]

interesting about carbs for animals,

I'd never thought of it before MC...not until the issue with Lola cropped up...yes how ironic the vet seems better informed than our HCP's.

 

[HarryBeau]

our Moet Labrador may have diabetes

Just realised what you said MC...possible diabetes do you think that led to his loss of vision?

7.2 on a foggy morning.
From what I've read, cats are obligate carnivores and should eat only meat, and have access to grass for help with hairballs.
@Muddy Cyclist Thank you for posting the lovely painting, and its stages. It reminds me of the Welshman I dated long ago who taught me to say something like "Y mae Smokey in pori in y cae" it used to freak our friends out when translated that my cat Smokey was out grazing in the field!
@gennepher I hope your chat with Amazon will benefit other recipients. That driver needs a refresher course in people skills. Oh, well, maybe he is a very dependable worker who is never late or out sick. ...

@Ryhia I'm glad your appointment went well.
@HarryBeau I'm glad Lola is doing better and was able to eat.
@gennepher I hope that you will get some good sleep tonight.
@ianpspurs you are quite a youngster! What was "Watch With Mother" about? I remember seeing it in a TV listing back in the '60s? when my father brought home an English newspaper from a business trip to NYC and thinking it sounded like a nice kids' program.
Off to YouTube now to watch The Flowerpot Men ... I found Paw Patrol is available on my TV.
Whatever happened to the Teletubbies?

WELL if we are talking Kids TV...

THUNDERBIRDS <ends conversation>...

That sounds about right Saskia...Lola is much improved this morning she & Charlie have been out on a joint hunting venture & proudly presented me with these this morning... they're back out again for more but will to cut that short it's freezing & I can't leave the door open any longer...

The panicdemic has hit here. I turned into the toilet paper aisle at the grocery store a few minutes ago and the shelves were nearly empty. Out of curiosity I went over to take a look at the soaps aisle and saw nary a bottle of hand sanitizer, and not many bottles of liquid hand soap. .

Grab one of those over there, @SaskiaKC ..now over here and help us rearrange the Deckchairs
OOH and there's a A Band on ship too.....

Oh how rude of me, a drink for you perhaps ?..

with ice right..coming up shortly...

I'm glad Lola is feeling so much better. I love the photos of your mighty hunters, and how you have caught their shadows on the floor, and the trophy shot. Especially the shadow of Lola's paw, because I can't see her actual paw from this angle, but I can see its shadow. That is such a cool effect. Thank you for posting these.

They are very pleased with themselves Saskia...now the back door has to be closed I'm shivering so enough hunting for today anyway Lola is busy making sure the big long snake she caught (i.e. twig) is well & truly dead!

Why, thank you, sir!
They had a sign on the hand sanitizer/soap shelf -- Limit 2 per customer -- but I didn't notice a similar sign on the toilet paper shelves. It's amazing how in cases of panic adults have to be reminded to share with others.
I honestly don't know whether to laugh at them all or be afraid, be very afraid.
Especially as this region is known as The Bible Belt -- so where's our faith?

... So, how about that drink?

 

[jjraak]

5.0 for me have a good day everyone

5.0 today. Don't know why but I'll take that. Hope everyone has a good day.

@Ryhia snap - I'm also 5.0 this morning. Really pleased with the way the BS is dropping since drastically cutting the cream.

Lovely clean and shiny doggies walked. Very shortly dashing off to work. Will catch up with posts later.

Right..Blimey it's Like a LOO ROLL rush this morning...:***:

Like ya style, Cowgirl..Now that drink i mentioned.

we got em, and your welcome to one, most certainly.
BUT i think if you look closely the ice you seek, will be coming along real soon...sad to say.

and FAITH it will reappear, especially as it's all we really have right now, whether in Science, Invisible Friends, Deities
or just blind trust that being naked.while typing, offers the best protection ......
(ooh, just me, right.... ..<slides out of webcam view......>.)

yep, this IS an issue that we need to remember
that by Respecting we are Protecting.
Because those who think they'll stay safe, due to grabbing all the good stuff, are the same ones who'll get ill,
if OTHERS have nothing to protect themselves with.

OOH mind you don't cut yourself this morning...

Very quick, very sharp.
and liked as well..(lou rawls that is, NOT you...)

(oops that didn't sound right.... )

 

[jjraak]

Morning...heartening to see Lola eating with a passion this morning...their little bellies full she & her brother have headed to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts meanwhile I sit by the open door freezing...I need to do some shopping today wondering where to go will think about that over another coffee...woke to a 6.3

"HOUSTON : We Have a RECOVERY"..whoop whoop.
great news. @HarryBeau

 

[jjraak]

I slept better thanks @PenguinMum But I still need more sleep.
I can put myself in another's shoes. Because I am deaf and spent a lifetime lipreading, to help me follow a conversation, I have often put myself in the other person's shoes to understand where they are coming from. So, taking me and my personal history out of this equation, I am coming up with possible 'stories' for him.

Perhaps in the past he has given a resident their parcel, and it was for the resident's daughter and not the resident, and the daughter didn't get it so caused him problems with Amazon. Perhaps other reasons. Also perhaps he is searching for his long lost daughter....the creative side in me comes out at that point. It is possible to write a whole book of short stories on this...

But I do feel happier registering that I had a concern, and just maybe, he needs some training to deal with people better.

It did disturb me badly, so I am going to do nice things for me and Popeye today.

You have a good day. It looks like you are having a busy one. Take time out to have a cuppa

well IF we are going story wise....

My understanding is he IS being tracked by will smith, and that is what made him a little 'weird'

 

[jjraak]

FBG 5-9..a cliffhanger moment

will i still be Hanging on tomorrow..?

lest go to our science experts Bill and Ben.
so what do YOU guys think...?
"Flobba lobba, ".....

 

[ianpspurs]

mr gee and I both agree that the little electric log splitter he bought second hand a few years ago was one of his better notions

Brilliant and quite envious. Bg ok as well but a log splitter though the satisfaction of a good axe splitting a stubborn root or knotty log with a hefty blow is impossible to match. Proper lifestyle madam.

 

[jjraak]

And on the Loo roll front, @SaskiaKC

i reckon your govt will make a similar announcement soon
so a little heads up.

the UK govt have just announced that due to the Importance of, and the unprecedented demand for Loo rolls.
to prevent the scenes we have seen in supermarkets across the UK

Supermarkets will be strictly LIMTING sales to ONE only per household,
although measures are in place to make sure these will be the new C19 FAMILY size..

All I can say is, it's too bad Sears, Roebuck & Co. no longer publishes their big thick catalogues. I don't know how much American history y'all have been exposed to (sorry about the pun ) ...
