Guess I will be off till then too!! Oh, the Gal from Goldendale came out to get a few more of my hens, CL we saved you some!! Anyway, ya know I know there are times when I may talk a lot, but jeesh!!!

This lady went on....and on......and on!!!! Her kids were screaming in the car, and she was just....anyway, finally she left and I have some peace and quiet!!! I think I'm becoming a recluse from staying by myself so much!!!

I like it when it's just me the cats, the goats, the chickens and the ducks and turkeys!!!!

Glad to have her money, but really!!???? LOL!!!

yeah, tosh is not the word for it though.
Decades ago Celiac Sprue was referred to as "the Irish Disease" since the potato famine unearthed so many sick Irish & many actually dies from eating wheat.
See, if you do not know the story, there was a potato disease struck in Ireland & parts of Scotland , too, I believe.
The English in great gerorosity trucked in tons of wheat the feed the starving Irish.
Many died right away...others continued ill for weeks until the discovery of exactly what the disease was all about.
So for many many years of my life, and way before computers, I had all this issues...skin disorders & strept throat (several times a year for months at a time & the doc would give me massive antibiotic treatments to kill off the strep he said I was a "carrier"

)
Once computers came out, I searched & searched & self diagnosed and was laughed at by docs.
They refused to test me.
One said "Celiac Disease? Do you know how rare that is ?" he laughed !!!
I read all about what happens when a celiac eats wheat...I had every symptom case book.
I was a poster child.
Finally got a gastro to test me.
So it all worked out.
And since my research we have come to find out there are alot more celiac sufferers than once thought.
It is NOT just a Celtic Disease !
Italians, Scandiavians and even Africans are turning up with this disease.
Something like, I think...maybe as many as 1 in 10 ???

Well, being of Irish decent, and not trying to offend any English at all, you don't think they were being poisoned do you???? I mean that was a long time ago, and we know the affections of the English and Irish back then!!!

just sayn....?

I have heard of people gluing funnels to the tops of their waterers so the chickens can't roost on it and poop in the water.

I like being a recluse too. I love just chilling on the farm with no one around. More often than not, the dogs, chickens and horses are much better company than the humans that live here. Of course I do love it when fellow peeps come over and I can talk and sell chickens, however some do love to chat and I try to slowly walk them to their vehicle. BYC peeps are always welcome. You can stay and chat as long as you want.

I've been handling the EEs so much that I'd gotten used to the feel of their feathers; today I had to gently shove Elvis out of the way to fill the feeder and the silky softness of his feathers came as a shock: amazing how different what are officially both "soft feathered" breeds can be.

Yea, BYCers totally different bird!! LOL!! I guess it wouldn't have been so bad but this gal had kids! I guess as a mom, I just never would do something like that. I would go get my business done with people and be on my way, now, don't get me wrong, my kids didn't run me, but, she had already been there for over an hour, had her birds loaded up and continued to talk, that's when her kids were getting bored and rebellious, He** I would too!! LOL! Yep, I have had some good times with the BYCers here, and I hope, I didn't over stay my welcome!!???

I know I always seem to have lots of questions, or want to know something...ect. And I think a time or two I probably needed some human contact so I might have talked longer than normal?? But, if I ever do you guys just point me towards the door and say... catcha next time!! LOL!!

This is very interesting....I know an Irish American with this disease and he has Psoriasis and food allergies as well as respiratory allergies.

Even when he avoids all the foods (wheat and others) he knows affect him negatively..he still has a hard time.
But it is much worse if he gets any wheat by products by accident.

In regard to drug tolerance, I am studying similar issues in Native Americans....the field is called Pharmacogenetics.
