~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Ginger999]

Slo, make pan cookies! Heck, I'd eat the raw dough myself since stopping AL. Not my best decision but, oh well!

Off to exercise! Hi to all. I'll take another day of freedom!

[Slo]

I added some water and was able to get the dough to stick together, and the cookies turned out!

Rava, how annoying that the people can’t even go to view the sunset without a drink in their hand!
Sorry your investment might not pay out if you want to leave Florida at some point, Rava.
My condo isn’t going to pay out either (will take a significant loss on it), and I don’t feel at home here; so I feel a bit of your pain. Maybe I won’t feel at home anywhere except at the home that I lost in the divorce, so I’ll just have to sit tight. Turns out I don’t much like living alone.

Yes, I hope you can sit outside in the early AM in Florida at least, Jude.

Happy that you had sister time, Ginger!

Oh, I didn’t realize there was more than one trap, Dill.

Was going to take my mother out for dinner, but she cancelled due to rain & wind in the forecast.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Slo, glad you got those cookies made. Your mom cancelling out is probably no great surprise. Mr R and I are taking our kayak out and try some fishing today. I will let you know if we get anything or not. Supposed to be 90 so it’s gonna be a hot one. Hope everyone has a great and sober day! 24 more please and thank you.

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Glad you got the cookies made Slo, you can send some my way!

Are you feeling any better Jude, at least getting out for a few hours in the sun?

Good luck with the fishing Rava, what kind of fish do you usually catch?

What's wrong with eating raw cookie dough Ginger, I do it as well, not the whole bowl though lol.

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe!

Dill, hopefully that pesky possum has moved on and Pumpkin won't be bothered anymore. We have possums in our area, but I've never seen a live one, only dead ones in the road.

Feeling a little better today and hoping it continues. I do really miss home though, as I can't handle this heat and humidity. Not for me!

24 more for all of us please.

[Slo]

Jude, yeah; I was thinking that the Florida heat & humidity probably isn’t a good fit for you.

I’m making my way through this dumb head cold that my grandson gave me.

I saw a possum once, when my then 7 y/o daughter picked one up in the backyard!

I hope you enjoy your fishing excursion, Rava!

I have been exploring the idea that some of my neuropathy has been caused by a vitamin B6 toxicity. So, I am doing a detailed protocol of daily hydration with extra sodium & potassium, plus tracking the B6 in food to keep daily intake at or just below the recommended daily amount. It’s annoying and all-encompassing, but may give me a chance to heal from something that isn’t very curable.

Wishing everyone a great AF day!

[Ginger999]

How does one accumulate too much b6, Slo? Good luck reducing your levels.

Jude, I'm with you! Humidity when you aren't use to it is stifling. It must take some getting use to. Hope you continue to feel better. You must be headed home soon?

ABC, my mom always warned me not to ear raw cookie dough. Raw eggs, maybe? Who know. I love it though and still eat it whenever possible. Lol

Rava. Have fun today! Hi Dill and Mul

I'll take another day!

[dill]

Late check in for me today as I had to get to my volunteer job early. I'm sure you all have been disappointed not hearing from me first thing in the morning with my possum update! LOL Anyhow, we were finally able to let Pumpkin have his freedom back yesterday. We caught the possum and it is no longer in our area. We are leaving the game camera up for a few days to see if we find any others were coming as well.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[dill]

How're you feeling today, Jude? Better, I hope. How much time do you have left there and are you driving or flying home? I bet Mr. J and your pets are all missing you.

Ginger and Cowboy, the reason they caution folks not to eat cookie dough is because of the salmonella risk with raw eggs. And more recently they warned because of the bird flu. However, I am a lifelong eater of raw dough. So was my father before me.

Slo, glad your cookies came together!

Rava, did you catch anything?

Howdy Mul!

24 more for all of us please and thank you.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Jude so glad you are starting to feel better. I agree the humidity and heat are really bad here. Thats why we are glad to be heading north in about a month. Not to mention the incoming hurricane season. We caught some crabs yesterday and came home and steamed them up. Our neighbor caught a little fish and threw it back. We saw two iguanas and lots of big birds. Very fun day grilling lunch and hanging out by the river. Dill I guess that possum is still on the loose? Raw cookie dough is the best. I hear you about the raw eggs but that has never stopped me. Hope everyone has a good and sober day. Waves to everyone!

[abcowboy]

5:24am in Alberta, another 24 for me please, and thanks...

I never thought about the raw eggs, but that probably won't stop me from eating a bit of dough when Bubba makes cookies lol.

Glad the trapping ended up being successful dill, I'll bet Pumpkin is the happiest of all lol.

I think it's great that you're looking into ways to improve your health Slo, maybe you can find ways to lower your neuropathy.

I'll bet the fresh crabs were delicious Rava, we don't get any fresh seafood but still like to have some sort of frozen fish on a weekly basis.

Bubba and I are off to Vermilion this afternoon to pick up our taxes from the accountant. I usually go and get them myself but Bubba wants to come along this time. I'm sure we'll end up in a few of her favorite stores before we head back to Veg lol.

[Jude58]

Finally back from the land of the walking dead! The antibiotics and inhalers are starting to kick in and I can almost breathe normally. It's been 2 weeks since I got sick and I'm just so grateful for any improvement. We are here for another week so hopefully it will be a good one!

Dill, so glad that you caught the opossu and that Pumpkin can roam free again.

Raw cookie dough is the best, and I've never suffered any ill consequences from eating it!

Rava, I see why you head up north in the summer to escape the heat and humidity in Florida. I guess a lot of people like that weather but I'm not one of them.

Slo, I've never heard of B6 toxicity, do you take a lot of it?

24 more please...

[Slo]

I have been eating a high B6 diet (without knowing it) by eating a diet that avoids excess vitamin A / hypervitaminosis A; that I gave myself from a dumb juicing / greens /carrot juice diet in my younger years. You people who never fell into a health kick diet are the smartest!

Turns out you can get B6 toxicity which causes neuropathy in a number of ways: paleo diets (high meat), whole food diets (lots of chicken, salmon, turkey, beef, potatoes, bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes etc.); taking supplements like multivitamins that contain B6 or taking two or three supplements that all contain some; or consuming lots of energy drinks, Emergen-C, Liquid IV, and these types of things that are spiked with it; and/or consuming lots of fortified cereal for breakfast and snacks. Ugh! It’s an emerging and little recognized and understood problem.

Jude, glad you are turning the corner while you still have time left in Florida.

Victory, Dill!

Cowboy, nice that you & Bubba have an outing together today!
