~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[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.

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!

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

[abcowboy]

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!

[Ginger999]

Thanks for explaining the b6 issue, Slo. I hope detoxing helps!

I figured the raw dough thing had something to do with eggs. I saw a roll of dough around Christmas that was labeled edible raw dough, no eggs. I almost bought it just to try.

Jude, so glad you've turned the corner! I hope your last week is fun, humidity and all.

Dill, so glad to hear Pumkin is a free kitty once again. Nothing worse than a pissed off cat. Lol

Waves to all! I'll take another.

[MarkG]

interesting, ive been also dinking energy drinks without considering my b6 intake.

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe, and welcome MarkG!

Last night we went out to dinner and for obvious reasons I was the designated driver. My sisters and brother in law got pretty hammered. At first I was thinking that a glass of wine would taste mighty fine, but after watching them get sloppy drunk, the wine didn't look so good any longer. It brought back too many bad memories for me and I felt relief at not having to drink. Now that's what I call freedom.

Looking forward to another 24 hours of serenity...

Jude, that is such a great post! It's wonderful to hear how you felt in that moment and that you seem to have come out on the side of the the light. Love it.

Welcome MarkG!

I don't take many supplements. Just a daily vitamin which I take every other day instead of daily, and a vitamin D tablet with a Calcium supplement to help with absorption. It' scary that one can accidentally cause self-harm when simply trying to enhance their health!

Cowboy, we've been inundated with rain around these parts, so the pond is actually benefitting from a good amount of field runoff. We are just 2 inches from being completely filled! Yay!

Rava, yes, we took the possum and let it out of the trap far from our place. Nothing is showing on the game cam now and Pumpkin is doing great.

Waves, Mul.

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

That's great news that you were able to get out and enjoy a dinner with the family Jude, and even better that you felt the way you did about that glass of wine!

Nice to hear that the pond is getting back up to a normal level dill, when will you re-stock it with the fish you purchased?

Great to have you join us MarkG!

We had a delightful drive to Vermilion Slo, and were both a bit surprised at our taxes, turns out we'll both be getting small refunds and the business will as well. Of course Bubba came out of the lady's shop with a few packages lol.

[Ginger999]

Welcome, MarkG. Waves to all! I'll take another day of freedom
