My 15 year old Luso was just diagnosed with this. The vet has me brushing his teeth, which will not help with the hypercementosis but will help with periodontal disease associated with it. Seems to tickle him, so he tolerates the brushing (with Sensodyne or a toothpast used in dogs that tastes like ...

Wicky

Ah, I am so sorry. IT is so hard to let them go, even when there is no other option. RIP, Kitty.

Wicky

I lift my glass to those gone.

Wicky

We did, we did.

It was peaceful and supportive and non-confrontational and empowering and pretty darn terrific.

Wicky

I am planning on going to the Boston march.

Wicky

I need to find it but I do have one. (I probably have one of everything) And I need to de tackify. I will search.

Wicky

I have found that if I put my long johns on first, then socks over them, then the warm breeches, the long johns do not ride up as the socks keep them in place.

Wicky

This should be interesting! In 1974 I bought a large (?3x5) needlepoint canvas of one of the unicorn tapestries, in Brugge. I never did much on it but maybe it is time!

Wicky

Sorry for being obtuse - I did look mine up on the internet, although I couldn't imagine that it would be there, and it was. But the blade had an identifying mark of a newer model. As I thought, I have replaced the blade but the one I have is on the recall list.

Wicky

Ha! I think mine is from the 1980s, and I am getting a new blade! I actually think that the blade I have is a replacement - I think the plastic broke years ago.

Wicky

I have a black pair with some black leather (a black leather dragon outlined in red thread). The black is rubbing off as well, but it says not to wash, just to dry clean.

The girl with the bleeding dragon patch jeans.

Wicky

Damn. I need sheets and blankets for my bed. My mind went down another path!

Wicky

Great!

This year I did the dark meat as a confit, so the skin went in with it. I took the (seasoned) breast skin off the light meat and baked it in the oven for 45 minutes at 400 between two pieces of parchment paper and two baking sheets. Was pretty good.

Wicky

Turkey sous vide, with the skin roasted in the oven at the last minute. Vegetarian stuffing for cousin in law. Green beans with onions and mushrooms. Cranberry, pear and ginger sauce. Salad and sweet potato with marshmallows (for stepdad) and mashed potatoes from cousin. And pumpkin and pecan pie fr...

Wicky

Sounds as if you "just" :roll: :roll: have pain. I had pain, cord compression and mild weakness and altered reflexes. Mine was also due to an old injury - being hit on the cheek by a baseball bat as a kid. My first surgery was when I was 47 or so. They did not have artificial discs, so the...

Wicky

My mom, about 25 years ago. She is now 99.

Wicky

They are lovely! And your pictures are fantastic.

I have had two cervical fusions. Back to doing whatever I want. Peyton Manning has had three fusions. What are your plans??

Wicky

I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Thinking strong immune response thoughts for you!! And lots of cuddling from the pets.

Wicky

LOL - Jan-Feb, I think!

Wicky

Well, I put in the order for an Ultra suede material but now I have to pick the color - not sure that the color palate I like (raspberry) goes with the floor (cherry). And I do not like oranges or yellows, which do go with the floor.... Sigh.

Wicky

Off to order Ultrasuede!

Thanks, all!

Wicky

I will be getting Cornish Rex kittens, so the shedding isn't that big of a problem, but if I get my mom's MiKi as well, I will have a very small long hair dog that hates to have his nails clipped. But since he doesn't jump on furniture, he isn't the problem (other than shedding on Ultra Suede. I am ...

Wicky

No, not a kinky topic!

I need a new sofa setup, and the sale is over on Saturday. I foresee having cats and dogs in my future. Experiences with leather furniture? Does Ultrasuede attract cats less than leather?

I do want this stuff to last a LONG time.

TIA!

Wicky

I recall reading that horses see quite well in dim light, so if darkness doesn't spook you, you should be fine with little light.

Wicky

Went to a Paso Fino place south of Lima. A fun show, and I got to ride one (OK, they sat us on the horses and ran around with them - a pony ride). Pisco sours ARE great (and pretty potent). I was there on business, so didn't do much eating except in the hotel. Some nice stores - I bought some alpaca...

Wicky

I will shortly be leaving for 11 days rafting down the Grand Canyon (I hope everyone stays healthy so I can do this!) I have a D7000, which came with an 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens, and a D80 which came with an 18-135mm 1:3.-5.6 lens. Which combination do I want to take on my trip? I am leaning at least...

Wicky

I am so sorry about the losses. I know someone else who lives there - six miles from downtown. I am glad that you and your family are all OK!

Wicky

avma, that is exactly the ticket! Ordered one - will let you know how it works! Thanks!

Wicky

Am going to raft down the Grand Canyon. They suggest some kind of sarong to wear in camp, and to use to change under. Anyone have any idea of exactly what this might be? Sounds like a tent with holes for arms and legs to me!

But seriously, any suggestions would be great.

Wicky

That is an interesting idea - I will propose that to her.

Wicky

My very good friend has just learned that her horse is out for six months. She is of course devastated. As an older rider, she is concerned about not riding for so long. She summers in upstate NY, and goes to FL with the horse in the winter. She is a reasonably good amateur, tall, and takes excellen...

Wicky

Honestly, it depends. Do you have many potential buyers in the wings? She sounds like a very serious buyer who doesn't want to make a mistake. She is spending a lot of money - and time - on this venture (talking about flying in, accommodations for a week....). She wants to make sure that she and you...

Wicky

I would worry about the potential damage ivy can cause. A mature ivy plant can be very heavy, and can worm its way into cracks and damage wood or brick. I do not know which types might be safer for houses but I have been warned about ivy climbing chimneys.

Wicky

Be careful of the deep squats. They can really damage the knee, resulting in patella femoral syndrome

Wicky

Jingles and cystic thoughts!

Wicky

I do 45 minutes of Pilates and 45 minutes of physical therapy, designed for my neck and back and asymmetries, three times a week. Then I ride two horses four times a week. Then I feel that I need a nap, but I have to go to work. Oh well!

Wicky

Unfortunately I cannot access that page. Nevertheless, I send my heartfelt jingles for the best possible outcome.

Wicky

What is Mark's last name? I would like to follow this.

Wicky

And when I first saw it I thought you were referring to his crossed front legs!

Wicky

Jingles that you will soon be able to walk those trails! What a gorgeous location for a hospital. I've been to Banff, and it is wonderful.

Wicky

She isn't riding in the outdoor much these days - either the indoor, or the trails (where there are deer and turkeys and bears oh my!)

I don't know what she did with the slope originally, but it has been expensive, and since she doesn't use it much, she is not working on it.

Wicky

That is so NICE to hear! Too often, the only thing that registers is the bad stuff. Your DH is a keeper! Have fun with the camera!

Wicky

Hi Alex - It is a Coverall; she put wood ends with windows on it instead of the fabric ones that you typically see. She has a wonderful contractor. The real outdoor is next to it, up the hill. The outdoor frequently washes out in heavy rains, so it is no longer 20x60. If there are other specifics yo...

This is my friend's pond. And my most favorite place in the world. Sorry it is split into two photos!

Wicky

Honey bourbon! Any kind!

Wicky

Can you have a tax break for retired people, or seniors over X (where X recedes by one year on my birthday because I refuse to be called a senior)? Mt parents live in a town where seniors get a tax break on real estate taxes.

Wicky

I recently read this https://smile.amazon.com/Ghost-My-Brain-Concussion-Plasticity-ebook/dp/B00OZ0TOLC/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1463654537&sr=1-1&keywords=the+ghost+in+my+brain which is why I was thinking of you and others (some here) who have had TBIs. Ivy, what about y...

Wicky

SO glad to see you again! Have wondered about you - please share your story for those who don't know you!

Wicky

Wow - I didn't know that it was so complicated! DJR - what brand do you get? I would go regularly if I thought that it would help my nails!
