I was gonna say the same thing. Since DW's shirt is pretty much wore out. She will be wearing mine and I will have my own special shirt on. I should be pretty easy to spot.

Ya think ??????????

OMG grilled cheese sandwiches?!?!?!? What do you use for bread? I've been craving one for a week now.

We use gluten free bread. My 2 favorite GF breads are Rudi's in the blue wrapper (corn free), and Whole Foods brand "Light White sandwich bread". (corn free).

If you are avoiding carbs/starch, you can use the Julian's "paleo" bread, made from either almond meal or coconut flour, but I think it tastes nasty and it's $9 for this little loaf that is about the side of a brick. They make it with egg whites- no yolks, so it's pretty flavorless and more like cardboard, IMHO. Maybe if it was soaked in butter, fried with melted cheese and bacon inside it would taste good? (or not?)

Tonight we had taco salad for dinner. We used a scant few "Beanito" chips (rice/bean) crunched up on bottom, then chopped cabbage (adds more crunch, plus it's alkalizing), spinach (instead of iceberg, which has no nutritional value), grassfed burger with pinto beans for the meat, Daiya cheese, and all the usual stuff- olives, tomatoes, green onions, fresh cilantro, salsa. Since we're dairy free, we use Karam's garlic sauce instead of ranch or sour cream. I make it homemade some days - (AKA Lebanese garlic Sauce). Best taco Salad ever- really!

sorry Chickielady! I have soemthign similar
Did you accidentally eat something contaminated or cross-contaminated?
BTW- These days they have been messin with the corn so bad that it can wreak havoc on the gluten intolerant and celiacs....a LOT of my families that decided to put their kids on GFCF diet ran over and swapped everything to corn, then found it was even worse.....

Not sure....I am very careful cuz every exposure to wheat is more & more violent to the point where I am incapacitated & struggle to even breathe.......so I have diphrenhydramine & an epi pen~~~~~~~~~~~~but this is a more subtle exposure that is going on...

Hehehehe.... mine were done hatched when I got 'em from Lyn and they are 15 days old now! Ya shudda bought chicks SadieSue!!!

They are SO cute! And SO messy! I really wish we could tell their sex... how are you at sexing Wheaten Ameraucanas????

Here's a preview for you....


Honey got a mani-pedi today!










And This is DASH because of the 2 darker stripes on HER back.

ha ha ha dash looks like a him...ust sayin' cuz his comb is longer on the back of the head.But
I'll confess !
I have seen these Ameraucanas do a sex change before your very eyes !
What you have to look for is 'peas'
A row of 1 peas is a female, a row of 3 peas is a male.
Males have 3 rows of peas in their "pea combs"

Best one to talk to about that is pips&peeps !

I'm showing one of my Spitz on Saturday. I'm reading up on preparations, and beginning to feel intimidated. I had hoped a bath would be enough, but silk cloths and lord knows what else are involved. .

I hate to say it, but sometimes distance is a good thing. I love babies, but not the SKA_REEEEEEMIN! Get SKYPE or Facetime for now.

......................me too ! But that is the best part of being a Grand Parent~play, love & spoil, and hold the baby/snuggle/smell/...and when it is ENOUGH...send it home with Mom & Dad !!

I so love the babies....bathing & snuggling.....

I miss my grandaughter, I wanted so to be there in the birth room with my daughter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have been in there up to my elbows !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like Stumpfarmer said...nitril gloves not necessary !

You will do well !
White birds are harder to deal with as for dirt, etc...but I am sure you'll do well !

So the two eggs that my poor Owl was broody on for two weeks before she was killed, are due to hatch tomorrow night.

The little silkie I stuffed them under has been doing a very good job with them. I did a quick candle a few minutes ago and the one chick is trying to pip internally. Could see it pushing against the membrane. So here's crossing my fingers that the little things make it.

My daughter, Lisa, was raised on a Harley...................as I was PG~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LOL

I thought I missed this baby grand daughter so much I was almost cryin;......then I talked to Lisa on the phone this morning, she was DREARY, EXHAUSTED, just woke up from a cat nap...and I hear the baby SKA_REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMIN in the background...and thought to myself......NAW, I'm good right here !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah... the great side of being the grandparent is you get to hand them off for long periods of time, not just a few minutes here and there while someone else holds the baby. You couldn't pay me enough to have/adopt/raise a baby at my age.
