flosey

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY everybody! They don't celebrate in France (no green beer), but they certainly did in NY where I grew up!

3:08 am

Kazzer99

right i am off to work - see some of you later - have a good day

3:08 am

westford

ERIN GO BRAGH ruby

3:08 am

westford

I love St. Patrick's Day

3:09 am

westford

bye kaz you too

3:09 am

rubyfoo

they didn't celebrate in Miami, either (I wonder why) but I miss it.

3:10 am

westford

husband's mother's birthday..her father called her his little Irish Mick..she was called Mickey for the rest of her life

3:10 am

westford

her real name was Ethel Annabelle

3:11 am

rubyfoo

my first married name was kelley and I've kept it ever since!

3:12 am

westford

has anybody here seen kell(e)y?

3:12 am

westford

I'm Irish at heart

3:12 am

rubyfoo

and the song "Take me out to the ball game" was from the who Little Nelly Kelley, my nickname ever since

3:13 am

westford

will you have corned beef and cabbage for the visiting daughter?

3:13 am

westford

That's right !! I love the beginning of that song but hardly anyone sings it

3:13 am

rubyfoo

she'll probably be tired, but will make a roast chicken. You can't get decent corned beef here

3:14 am

westford

we'll be having it with friends..their house can smell lol

3:15 am

westford

will she be arriving late?

3:15 am

rubyfoo

my mother used to call it New England Boiled Dinner

3:16 am

westford

that's pretty much it

3:16 am

rubyfoo

she is already on the ground in Geneva, but I'm making her take a bus from the airport! Mean Ruby!

3:16 am

westford

I always include beets so I can make red flannel hash with the leftoverw

3:16 am

westford

that's not mean..I'm sure the bus is very nice

3:17 am

rubyfoo

that sounds wonderful! I love beets.

3:17 am

westford

not like the old rattle trap in Romancing the Stone

3:18 am

westford

hey America is here

3:18 am

westford

doesn't work lol

3:18 am

rubyfoo

y son taught me a way of roasting plain beets, unpeeled, for two hours, letting them cool in the oven. Then peel them, add crumbled feta and oil, vinegar and oregano. Fabulous!

3:18 am

westford

oh that sounds awesome

3:19 am

rubyfoo

and very easy

3:19 am

westford

we grate raw beets into our salad sometimes

3:19 am

westford

what temp for the roasting? low and slow?

3:20 am

rubyfoo

200C but I don't think it;s sensitive. When they "give", they're done

3:21 am

westford

sounds so much better than our canned variety

3:21 am

rubyfoo

I didn't eat any beets but jarred pickled ones 'til I grew up; the canned ones my mother served were inedible

3:22 am

westford

love pickled beets..roommate's mother used to use the juice to pickle hardboiled eggs too pink and pretty

3:24 am

rubyfoo

here it is possible to buy cooked, cleaned, clightly pickled ones. I then slice onions, garlic, turnip and add my own pickling brine and put it in jars in the fridge.

3:24 am

westford

I'm coming to your house I think you have so many good things to eat

3:25 am

westford

do you grow any vegetables?

3:25 am

rubyfoo

except that I've become tired and lazy and don't cook every day - husband is willing to eat leftovers, so I do one big thing a week and he eats it for days

3:26 am

rubyfoo

yes, great tomatoes, radishes and lots of berries and sometimes plums

3:26 am

westford

we do the same thing..still cook for six lol

3:26 am

rubyfoo

and he likes spicy food, so his stuff lasts longer....

3:27 am

westford

I cook when the mood hits

3:27 am

rubyfoo

that's it, westford!

3:27 am

westford

I'm not a spicy food person..Jon is

3:27 am

rubyfoo

emir

3:27 am

westford

that's right ! lol

3:27 am

rubyfoo

whoops - is there coffee in the pb?

3:28 am

rubyfoo

I cook 3 dinners: one for him, one for me, one for dogs!

3:28 am

westford

I think so also toll house cookies and corn muffins right out of the oven

3:28 am

westford

wow you run a little restaurant

3:28 am

rubyfoo

and then I collapse!

3:28 am

westford

will his daughter need another meal as well?

3:29 am

rubyfoo

but at least the dogs are smiling

3:29 am

westford

we have cats and the price of their food is out of sight

3:29 am

westford

I'm thinking of cooking for them too

3:30 am

rubyfoo

I make beef heart risotto with some chicken and cauliflower for the dogs plus they get Purina kibble which costs 4X more here

3:30 am

rubyfoo

I am distrustful of commercial animal foods since the Chinese debacle

3:31 am

westford

that really sounds good

3:31 am

rubyfoo

they also get brewers' yeast for their coats

3:31 am

westford

if I sit up and beg may I have some risotto too?

3:31 am

westford

that's good for keeping fleas away too

3:31 am

rubyfoo

I don't even remember what cats eat as it's been so many years since I had one

3:32 am

rubyfoo

with or without parmesan

3:32 am

westford

they do come around whenever I open a can of tuna lol

3:32 am

westford

both ways

3:32 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:33 am

westford

good risotto takes a long time

3:33 am

westford

at least it does when I make it

3:33 am

rubyfoo

mine is ersatz risotto

3:33 am

westford

if it tastes like the real thing who cares?

3:34 am

rubyfoo

regular + brown rice, bouillon cube, various meats and cauliflower -- takes about 20 minutes prep and 20 mins cooking

3:34 am

rubyfoo

they've never had the real thing

3:34 am

rubyfoo

they'd probably bite me if they knew what they're missing

3:34 am

westford

you should post the recipe

3:35 am

rubyfoo

you think?

3:35 am

rubyfoo

I'll do it after I get back from DIL stuff.

3:35 am

westford

yes !!

3:35 am

westford

okay good luck with that

3:36 am

rubyfoo

Ruby has the best coat anybody has ever seen. Fortunately, there are no furriers around here

3:36 am

westford

she's pretty in her picture

3:36 am

westford

bet she gets brushed often

3:36 am

westford

and Max too

3:37 am

westford

have you always had Chow Chows?

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I comb her sometimes but Max won't let me comb him. His front end is gorgeous; the back end is a scrawny mess

3:37 am

westford

oh I would think he would like the attention

3:38 am

rubyfoo

no, he's autistic, and I'm lucky her even lets me snuggle a little

3:38 am

rubyfoo

he*

3:38 am

westford

poor baby

3:38 am

rubyfoo

Ruby, on the other hand, gets cuddled/stroked/combed for an hour a day

3:39 am

westford

who is older?

3:39 am

rubyfoo

he's doing much better, though, since I put him on Prozac (thank you, Temple Grandin!)

3:39 am

rubyfoo

Ruby is a year older and "mothers" him a lot

3:39 am

westford

have you had him since he was a puppy?

3:39 am

rubyfoo

must go now. Thank you for the chat, westford

3:40 am

westford

thank you too ruby I'm heading for bed..

3:40 am

westford

I wish you a happy visit

3:40 am

rubyfoo

he arrived from Canada at 4 months and we knew immediately that there was something wrong but the breeder denied knowing anything about it. I think that, in order to breed black chows, they do too much inbreeding.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

we had another black one, and she died of a heart problem at two

3:41 am

westford

he was lucky he came to you then

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I think that's why the breeder, from whom we had already purchased 4 chows over the years, knew that. She figured that anybody else would have put down that remote but beautiful boy

3:42 am

westford

I wonder if the plane ride traumatized him

3:42 am

rubyfoo

I don't think so as all the others came from there, too

3:42 am

westford

give him a gentle hug from me

3:43 am

westford

one day I'll tell you about our daughter's cat..she's a strange one

3:43 am

westford

but right now I'm gone 'poof'

3:43 am

ursh

hello all - Ruby I did'nt know that black chows are rare

3:44 am

ursh

I suppose a bit like chocolate Labs also I believe quite difficult to breed

3:51 am

MissOmnibus

Hey again all <3

3:51 am

scouser

Hello Ruby. How do?

3:52 am

scouser

and good morning all.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

back for a minute

3:57 am

rubyfoo

hi scouser

3:58 am

rubyfoo

most chows are either cinnamon or shaded blonde, like Miss Ruby

3:58 am

rubyfoo

black is beautiful, but from my (limited) experience, I think it's not such a good idea

3:59 am

scouser

Ruby my parents kept dogs and always said that chows need to be one-man-one-dog types?

3:59 am

rubyfoo

who knew?

3:59 am

rubyfoo

not ours! They have been the most gentle of dogs. They are not outgoing except very selectively and the first one didn't like men with beards (or black people)

4:00 am

rubyfoo

Ruby and Rosie (our long-dead first one) were very protective of me but loved my husband just as much and also a few other people

4:01 am

rubyfoo

they are, however, more like (very large) cats in their independence and stubbornness

4:01 am

scouser

we had a cat who hated white socks - we had permanently scarred ankles and toes for years

4:01 am

rubyfoo

that's a riot!

4:01 am

scouser

it was very specific. grey or patterned socks were fine.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

she must have been very smart!

4:02 am

rubyfoo

argyles?

4:02 am

scouser

argyles ok too

4:02 am

rubyfoo

the only person Rosie ever bit was a bearded vet but I didn't like him, either

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I didn't bite him, though

4:03 am

scouser

my son built from Lego a large boat that just fitted in the bath and floated. There is a photo of said cat sailing in the bath.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

please send it and I'll send it to my son who was a Lego fanatic when he was little

4:03 am

rubyfoo

my address is in my profile

4:05 am

scouser

Will do. I will have to find it first amongst my 3000+ real photos non-digital.

4:08 am

scouser

It is a nice morning here - crisp sunshine and birds singing so I will bestir my stumps and go outside. I did gardening (shifting last years leaves) two days on the run. Time to make it three. Byee

6:54 am

6:54 am

jmcnrick

i am just glad i saved the truely important files yesterday

9:19 am

uusue2

oh, ok, the only definition I saw was a town in Italy. I am mollified :-)

9:20 am

MollyL

I objected to me8 earlier. That is most assuredly a proper noun. Enable is on crack.

11:22 am

wow, that's great, bichon! My son is now attending NIU for half tuition (full fees, though) and living at home, so I can cover it even without savings.

11:23 am

what is your son studying sue?

11:23 am

car.eeyore

I shudder to think about what it will be like when my boys are ready to go.

11:23 am

uusue2

it was his 2-year degree in audio engineering from a for-profit school that really broke the bank (but it got him started on a career path, so was worth it)

11:23 am

bichon

We basically only had to pay for room and board, Wesley's tuition covered what was charged at State Universities. These days, State Universities charge a lot more

11:23 am

11:25 am

uusue2

again and again small rodents, sandie

11:25 am

uusue2

she was NUTS to dump him for that. i mean, really, this is the first time in his life that he's tried to be there for someone else. so he needed a little chemical help. it was a huge situation. with practice, he'll get so he can be there for her without the chemical help.

11:36 am

Cuddy is nuts! Lets send her to the institution!

11:36 am

mmmm cuddy....

11:36 am

car.eeyore

no, I totally agreed with what her character did.

11:36 am

MollyL

Hursh, I have a totally different take on it. I think Cuddy finally realized that she had been deluding herself about being in love with an addict. What she said to him at the end was classic. "It's always going to be about you."

11:37 am

car.eeyore

Yup.

11:37 am

hurshy

well i think if she was going to dump him for that, she might as well have stuck with the dependable lucas in the first place. he was cute also.

12:52 pm

Haz1558

fiddlestix, to answer your question about a good score - it's not really a competitive game in that the number of words (and therefore score) changes every day and you have no way of knowing at any time what anybody else is doing.

12:53 pm

lbuxx

i am sooo horrible at figuring out clues.. lol

I was thinking Jean Harlow, Sue.

2:18 pm

I'm not sure I measure up on either, Sprite, but I keep a decently clean place.

2:19 pm

sprite

ummmm no, once in a while everything is immaculate :)

2:20 pm

I can't quite keep up....

Truly, the best way to do a corned beef is to cook it a few days ahead, then let it sit in the fridge, absorbing all the seasonings. I forgot this year, shame on me.

the head of the pr in philly makes $750,000 salary according to my sil who like me is a liberal

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

i am not sure that will stand cosd

4:54 pm

cosdem

yeah the execs at npr shld have to answer to that i agre

4:54 pm

cosdem

but cutting funds is not the answer.

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

they can vote things in an not have them stand up in court

4:55 pm

cosdem

punish everyone else except the execs is basically what they want to do.

4:55 pm

cosdem

"let them eat cake"

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

well are they likely to cut their bloated salaries if they are fully funded?

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

the nonprofit world is big business!

4:56 pm

foamflower

no, not the execs--the perceived liberal bias, which is nonsense

4:56 pm

cosdem

yeah i agree. but its the little people who get punished with this vote.

4:56 pm

jmcnrick

then donors should demand that their donations go to lower level people's salaries and not the execs

4:57 pm

cosdem

thats a good way to go by jmc :)

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

nonprofits are not as accountable as for-profits even

4:57 pm

cosdem

congress shld hold execs accountable. and not punish the whole system is what im trying to say i guess

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

in a for profit the stock holders can make a fuss if the money goes into bloated salaries

4:58 pm

foamflower

don't talk exec pay till we "do something" about bankers and fund managers...

4:58 pm

o-o

Like the execs and politicos pay any attention to their constituents

I am also Irish, but, I have to admit...I do not celebrate it that much.

6:00 pm

uusue2

any hints for the ce words? I have the middle one.

6:01 pm

redturtlehead

there is a ce 4 that means the number for Nothing....sort of a spanglish-y word.

6:01 pm

uusue2

I think I just got that one, need the first one

6:01 pm

uusue2

6:02 pm

redturtlehead

6:02 pm

redturtlehead

how is Dad?

6:03 pm

uusue2

He's doing really well, red, walking on his own around the house (no walker or stick or anything!).

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

super to hear.

6:03 pm

uusue2

Mostly now he's a little lonely but he's keeping himself pretty busy.

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

so you have been able to return home? I am a bit behind...

6:04 pm

uusue2

yes, I was there for two weeks, home for a week, went back for four days, and got home last night.

6:16 pm

MollyL

Sue, aw, it makes me sad to hear that your Dad is lonely. From what you've said, he sounds like a real good guy. What's up with his wife, if you feel like yacking about it.

6:16 pm

suefrad625

? sue

6:17 pm

MollyL

Sorry, didn't realize we had two Sues on board. UUSue is who I was referring to.

6:17 pm

YadNivek

Hey again all!

6:17 pm

uusue2

She's been moved to a rehab center but is still ailing. She's formally filed for divorce, and he now has a lawyer. I haven't talked to her in quite a while; she talks to her son, he texts me, and I talk to my dad.

6:18 pm

MollyL

What a sad way for them to end. Sending out extra blessings for your Dad.

6:18 pm

uusue2

Although she did talk to my dad a few nights ago - called him on her cell phone - he said they had a good talk, she wants him to be able to keep the house, so I'm wondering how much of this is coming from her sons. One of them hung up on my dad while I was there :-(

6:18 pm

cosdem

the last mi5 please?

6:19 pm

cosdem

oh that was nice that she wants him to have the house.

6:19 pm

suefrad625

dont have, sorry

6:19 pm

suefrad625

I could really use the 2nd de6, cos

6:20 pm

uusue2

but if they get divorced and he has to reimburse her for half its value, I don't think he can do that without selling it

6:20 pm

cosdem

de + frozen water+ ;etter

6:20 pm

cosdem

oh no wrong de6 sorry

6:20 pm

cosdem

same first 3 letters as the de6 before it, then sounds like a container u put cremated ashes in, change the first vowel

6:21 pm

uusue2

thx, cos, I couldn't figure out how to clue it!

6:21 pm

cosdem

yw uusue i had to get creative lol

6:22 pm

MollyL

Ugh, this definitely sounds like it's coming from the greedy sons. Who seemed to move in like vultures once your Dad had health problems. Ugh again.

6:22 pm

redturtlehead

not totally getting it.

6:23 pm

cosdem

container u put ashes in is an u**... just change the U to another vowel

6:23 pm

suefrad625

got it

6:23 pm

uusue2

well, they did have a nasty argument while he was in rehab (when her sons were not around); I called her right after that and she told me he had been very mean to her and as far as she was concerned the marriage was over. So it's a complicated situation, lots of strong feelings, two elderly people not in the best of health....sigh

6:23 pm

suefrad625

keep going up red

6:23 pm

redturtlehead

I think I must not have the other de6 because its the other 3rd letter than has be messed up...

6:24 pm

cosdem

do u have the de + to take **** of ones health?

6:24 pm

uusue2

2-point letter, red

6:25 pm

redturtlehead

Ahhh cos, that was why I was working with the removal of cold stuff word...

6:25 pm

suefrad625

when you de6 something you judge between them

6:25 pm

suefrad625

d's are dead!!!!!

6:26 pm

MollyL

Well Sue, it's been said that some people grow old together well and some don't. Maybe it wasn't the case for these two. I hope they both find a comfort zone beyond what they had.

6:26 pm

uusue2

I hope so too, Molly. They had a good 35 years together.

6:27 pm

Jillyjill

gotta love the gropple!!

7:36 pm

lbdawger

i remember when we used to call it corn snow. lol

7:37 pm

Jillyjill

other news, they are really making progress on 93...we'll have 4-lane to Missoula sometime this summer!!

7:37 pm

lbdawger

wonder how many folks are eating corned beef and cabbage tonight? and lots of green beer

7:37 pm

lbdawger

wow, didn't know they were even working on doing that. shows you how often i get out of the valley.

7:38 pm

Jillyjill

They had it at the hospital today....can only have the cabbage...last 7 days of the diet...

7:38 pm

lbdawger

stock up and freeze it! lol

7:38 pm

Jillyjill

You ought to come down here and we'll get together with harpjane!

7:38 pm

lbdawger

how is Jane? haven't seen her online in a long time

7:39 pm

Jillyjill

Worse than that, I have the March church potluck at my house and make pasties...won't get to eat any on Saturday...but they WILL be frozen

7:40 pm

lbdawger

argh, that's a cruel diet!

7:40 pm

lbdawger

or really bad planning!

7:40 pm

Jillyjill

She hasn't been singing with my group this month...did see her a few weeks ago and she was fine

7:40 pm

lbdawger

she's always so busy!

7:41 pm

Jillyjill

She must be sneaking in, her stats are still up there

7:41 pm

lbdawger

i bet she's lurking! come out come out where ever you are, HarpJane!

7:42 pm

Jillyjill

Well, have lost 35 pounds in 43 days...

7:42 pm

lbdawger

WOW!! good for you! what kind of diet are you on?

7:42 pm

stidmama

hey jilly! well done! hi all!

7:42 pm

lbdawger

hi stiddy!

7:43 pm

stidmama

harpjane? where? *looks in lurkbox*

7:43 pm

Jillyjill

That's why I went up to your valley in January, you have a naturopathic clinic...HCG injections

7:43 pm

lbdawger

HCG?

7:43 pm

Jillyjill

Hi Stiddy *hugs*...LONG time no see...how are you

7:43 pm

Jillyjill

?

7:44 pm

Jillyjill

pregnancy hormone

7:44 pm

stidmama

the advantage to babbling on my netbook (mac still out of commission) is that I have lickety...

7:44 pm

lbdawger

and that makes you lose weight? i'm confused

7:45 pm

lbdawger

can't live without lickety

7:45 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, causes body to pull from your fat stores...you eat only 500 calories/day

7:45 pm

Jillyjill

http://www.drgreenbean.com/hcg-diet/

7:46 pm

lbdawger

whoa, that's not much calorie intake. guess you have to really monitor what you eat.

7:46 pm

stidmama

not healthy long term I suppose

7:47 pm

stidmama

but short term maybe okay?

7:47 pm

Jillyjill

Nope, 50 day cycle with 6 weeks maintenance before you can do again. but I have to admit...no hunger...cravings yes, but really not hungry

7:48 pm

Jillyjill

With one more cycle I should have all the weight I need off

7:48 pm

stidmama

if you can maintain afterward, sounds like a reasonable thing

7:48 pm

Jillyjill

Was sooo nice when I transitioned from obese to overweight...lol

7:50 pm

lbdawger

how many cycles?

7:50 pm

Jillyjill

At least according to the naturopath, the injections (I do B12 with it) have a better maintenance percentage than the drops

7:50 pm

Jillyjill

this is my first dawg

7:50 pm

lbdawger

going to check out the site, brb

7:51 pm

Jillyjill

It's quite controversial, but I really researched plus had a good friend on it before I started

7:53 pm

stidmama

well, if you will be healthier and more comfortable, jilly, then that is a good thing

7:54 pm

stidmama

tom and the elder stidkid are home. I should head out and talk at them. ((hugs)) be well, see you-all again soonish. *poof*

7:54 pm

Jillyjill

Well, it was because my knees and hips were starting to hurt. Can't tell you how good I am feeling. Off many of my meds

7:55 pm

Jillyjill

72 Temple Owl

hi all. ess can you answer a vet question> I;ll undersnatd if yo cannot

8:30 pm

jesdraggon

i can try

8:30 pm

periwinkle

hi Owl

8:31 pm

jesdraggon

the answer may be that critter needs to be seen in person though ;)

8:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

what are theissues with adopting a FIV pos cat?

8:32 pm

jesdraggon

minimal, really. FIV is a very slowly progressive disease, and difficult to transmit, similar to HIV in humans.

8:33 pm

jesdraggon

requires intense contact and bodily fluid transfer for transmission (fighting, biting, breeding), and many FIV cats live 10 - 12 years before showing signs...

8:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

when my friend volunteered at a shelter, they isolated positive cats

8:33 pm

jesdraggon

since your average outdoor cat's life span is less than 10 years... *shrug*

8:33 pm

jesdraggon

I would be concerned with introducing a positive cat to a household with other/negative cats, because cat fights are always a possibility with introductions.

8:34 pm

jesdraggon

also, you need to be aware that FIV positive does not necessarily mean they are infected. FIV vaccination causes a positive on the test, and there is no way to de6 between a positive from vaccination and positive from exposure.

8:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

this is a rescue that the host must give up because of moving. 5-6 yo

8:36 pm

jesdraggon

when/if disease occurs, it results in immune suppression, and usually chronic/recurring infections from opportunistic bacteria... respiratory infections that won't go away and/or progress to pneumonia, for instance.

8:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

has been tested 2-3 times

8:36 pm

jesdraggon

there are a few "FIV/FeLV +" specific rescues, but they're hard to find and usually full.

8:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

does it always progress to full disease?

8:37 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, retesting doesn't really accomplish anything, unless they were just exposed.

8:38 pm

jesdraggon

no. lots of them die of other things before the FIV gets around to causing issues. Remember, very slow progression--cat may get cancer or die of renal failure or other old age problem before the FIV does anything, especially if they contract it as an older cat.

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

I don't have an me 6/21. there's an mi 6/21, but it's one of the words I havent found yet.

8:39 pm

fastlife walt

hey temple!!!!!!!!!!!

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

no risk to humans, not transmissible across specis.

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

species.

8:40 pm

periwinkle

that is what I meant, will keep looking

8:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello fast. ty jess, this is a handsome ginger maine coon like boy

8:41 pm

jesdraggon

do you have other cats?

8:41 pm

gapeach

Peri, do you have the me5-14 above it?

8:41 pm

periwinkle

have all the me words gap

8:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

no. but i would liek to . and truthfully, am enjoying a pet moratorium, freedom and all

8:42 pm

dan2bit

evening all! R's retired

8:42 pm

jesdraggon

hi dan :)

8:42 pm

gapeach

The me6 is me7 minus the last letter.

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

if he'll be an only cat, i would not recommend against adopting him. i would recommend keeping him inside though, so that there's no chance for him to be out fighting with other cats and potentially spreading it about.

8:43 pm

periwinkle

ty gap but I have all the me words

8:43 pm

gapeach

Hi there, dan.

8:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

if only they had not posted that giant color pic

8:43 pm

gapeach

Did that help, peri?

8:44 pm

periwinkle

just 4 ra words to go

8:44 pm

jesdraggon

i assume that if they tested for FIV, they also tested for FeLV?

8:44 pm

jesdraggon

I'd be more worried about that than the FIV, frankly

8:44 pm

gapeach

OK

8:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't know, no mention. they are not the same???

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

no. FIV = cousin of HIV (both are species specific though). FeLV = Feline Leukemia Virus.

8:46 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for me5-14? Thanks

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

leukemia is much more likely to cause problems, though the problems are similar (immune suppression and secondary infections).

8:47 pm

crosshair

french stick,liver and sausage pate with herbs and spices,brie,gouda,and hickory smoked 5 year old quebec cheddar,seedless green grapes bread and butter picklesand a nice bottle of vino for 2...mmmmm

8:47 pm

gapeach

AAAH, crossy.

8:47 pm

jesdraggon

grilled sourdough chicken breast, dubliner cheese, and apple sandwiches. yum! :D

8:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok i did not realize, so perhaps the dire state id the felv? when my friend told me about the shelter cats, it wa so di4

8:48 pm

crosshair

sounds delish jes

8:48 pm

gapeach

Yes, it does.

8:48 pm

jesdraggon

it was delish, crossy! (i ate it all gone, and now am sad there isn't mo4)

8:49 pm

jesdraggon

felv has a faster course, so you will more likely see problems associated with it.

8:49 pm

jesdraggon

vaccination will NOT cause a false positive with that one, so if it shows up positive, it is.

8:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty. does not seem like a good choice for someone enjoying pet holiday and who had to see last two eaten by cancer.

8:50 pm

jesdraggon

felv goes 1 of 3 ways. 1: they get it, they get sick, they die. 2: they get it, they clear it, they're fine, or 3: they get it, they carry it forever.

8:50 pm

jesdraggon

it is also difficult to spread (same as FIV; direct/intense contact), so you can't carry it from one cat to another, and again there is no risk to other species.

8:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty

8:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry to have hijacked chog

8:52 pm

jesdraggon

but really really would stress the indoor only thing so as to avoid potential spread to other cats. Double check which it is that this cat has. but also keep in mind that if this is a leukemia pos cat that gets taken to the shelter, most shelters will either not take the cat, or will euthanize it (not to guilt trip you or anything!) so going to an only-cat, indoor-only home is really the ideal sitch for the cat.

8:53 pm

dan2bit

close one for your Owls today, TO :-)

8:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

but we came up o the right side, dan! ;)

8:53 pm

jesdraggon

chronic FeLV infections can also take several years to develop problems, so it's not an immediate death sentence, but does mean the cat will probably not die of "old age", unlike FIV.

8:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

i will be happy to see nova one and done

8:54 pm

dan2bit

indeed

8:56 pm

72 Temple Owl
