If I do wind up getting a filter I will definitely research more about it. I don't fancy doctors around here. They care about the money more than the well being of the patients. The blood clot I had in my left calf dissipated before my ultrasound or it moved, they never found it. They gave me a blood thinner shot and within a half hour my leg felt great and it was back down to normal size.

What is the ketone diet? I have heard of it, I actually bought the ketone test sticks for my husband. I would love for us to get healthy now instead of way down the road. I already have issues with diabetes and blood clots and my liver, he is healthy as an ox, he has high blood pressure and a little higher triglycerides.. his father has his first heart attack at 35 my husband turns 28 this week.

Thank you Ray! 40 pounds was a milestone I never thought I would hit. I also had my gallbladder removed in July. It was full of stones and wasn't processing fat. I gained alot of weight with my gallbladder out of whack..

You can do it! I'll go along with you in the goal to lose weight. I hope all is well and stays well. Keep your head up. I will try to do the same. Yes tortoiseforum has definitely taken Facebook's spot in my life. I would rather scroll through torts and caring people.
It's called Keto diet and basically you stay away from eating carbs. This is my first week but my attitude is good. Once I see some weight loss it will motivate me more.

I've been wondering how your doctor visit went on Monday. I hope all is well with you.
Yes the wound has scabbed over. My doctor wasn't sure of the cause because the wound was already healing when she saw it. I am keeping triple antibiotic ointment on it. Keeping it uncovered during the day but covering before I go to bed. My doctor says as long as the drainage is clear and the surrounding area doesn't get inflamed. She won't prescribe antibiotics.

NO more projects for me! As it stands I have more than enough to fill every day off for the rest of the year. Next year is the Kitchen the wife has waited 15 years for even tough she doesn't cook.
My wife asked me to take her somewhere that she hasn't been to in awhile.
I suggest the kitchen!:)
Drum roll please.

Maybe the two of you can sign up for weekly or monthly cooking classes and call it a regular date night. Just remember, calling it "date night" will keep you out of more trouble than calling it "new kitchen tech support"! ;):p:D

Too late I did years ago! My wife specializes in eating my food. I am proud to say I have some very decent knife skills and can come up with some good meals.

I think Men in general are usually better cooks... My brother is an amazing cook and my husband is not too bad either... it’s like a law of nature or something...

Interestingly, it’s a proven fact that women shoot better... [emoji6]

If they have a good cherry cheese Danish I'll be over.!!! I can't find one anywhere here. Even Panera Bread and Tim Hortens stopped selling the good ones. If I'm hungry for a donut I want it sinfully delicious!
I have not managed to go visit them yet, so I am not sure what they have.

Good morning all! Hope everyone is headed for a fantastic day... nothing too grand on my agenda. A light work load. I may get to come back home and devote some time to my critters:)
Hi, Heather, and good morning to you too!

Today I'm planning to water the plants, then come inside and clean out the baby leopard enclosure. I'm going to completely gut it and start over. It has had several clutches of babies go through it and the substrate is getting pretty grungy!. While I'm doing that the babies that are in there will be soaking in their soaking tubs in the kitchen sink. If I have time after that BIG project, I plan to wash the kitchen floor. I'm having out of town company this week-end, so I have to sort of straighten and semi clean the house to save myself from embarrassment.

Good afternooning all. I have been hard at work in the Nursery of the rescue today dealing with baby wood pigeons and baby feral pigeons. (Actually we have so many baby pigeons there are loads in the other units too [emoji849])

Because the rescue is a hospital we have to adhere to strict hygiene protocols including wearing face masks and gloves. It’s not the best look!

Here are a couple of baby feral pigeons

Today for the second time in my life, I was called "dude"! Both times in Ottawa. Is that normal, or is it a Canadian thing? :confused:

The first time was actually a bit scary.

It was summer last year, our first visit to Ottawa, and I was geocaching downtown. So, I go to this tiny square sandwiched between two busy roads. As soon as it's finally free of regular occupants, who appear to be homeless or junkies, or both, I start looking under the benches for a tiny hidden container--something like this:

No luck. GPS bounces wildly, but I'm not giving up. A voice behind me makes me jump:

"You all right, dude?"

One of the regulars, by the looks of him, is back.

"Need something?" He takes a step forward... Must've thought I was a client. :eek:

I'm never geocaching in downtown Ottawa again. :D

Anyway, happy hump day from this "dude", CDRverse!
