OK -- many of us are thinking of gardening -- at least the SUN is shining here today!! WoooHoooo. I used to can a LOT, then kids grew and moved. Still canned some but, after hubby passed and I was home alone it was just easier to freeze for only me. Didn't even do a garden, just bought...

When making smoothies, try almond milk........I use orig, unsweetened. Lots of calcium, low cal, etc.....also great on cereal. I like almond milk, frozen fruits, a little yogurt. Tastes great! Sometimes use bananas & ice, instead of mixed fruit. Almonds also help make you feel...

This info comes from "Bottom Line Publications" While there is a lot of sales pitches with the info, I often find a good deal of very good info to research and use. This recently came to me and it is what others are mentioning on the thread, with a little more description/info. Curcumin. A...

OMG we each need one of those!! NOT.............awesome horse but, a world of trouble.

When a pullet begins to lay her body will on occassion throw out some tissue that is similar to "cleaning" the pipes. I've found maybe two pieces of a gray like spot of something in two. If lood spot was small and not daily, I'd say due to newbie layer. 8 hens began laying this yr, first...

Well -- some input from one who as been there, is there, wants to be there (maybe)........ Spent years and years paying bills on time, owning houses, apartment buildings, businesses, etc. Three homes, one a farm with mini horses, donkeys and Boer & Nubian goats.....in the 90's things were...

I'm with Rabbitfizz, I pasture mine all year. Founder is not an issue.......UNLESS the horse has not been pastured and/or the grass is tooo rich (rare occurrance). Even my show animals were given pasture time. High nitrogen can give mares issues with gestation and foal problems, so keep to...

You might want to contact the State Wage & Labor Division regarding their dropping benefits, esp if he is only one being dropped....are their other drivers? Does he have any employment contract? Did they give him any notice i.e. in 1, 2, 3 months it will drop -- or just "today"? It may be...

Many hens stop laying in winter due to shorter daylight hrs. If young they may not start until Spring. I have 8 4 mo old barred Rocks and I really do not want them to start laying until Spring, LOL.....but, we shall see. No roosters here but, you can trim as others have said and they can be...

Well I used to get worn out just READING what you did!! It's good to see that you have been able to take the road of many of us and not feel you had to do all that you did.....not that it wasn't fun and appreciated but, times changes. About 3 yrs ago my family decided (well, I did) that there...

A pickup load of hay was my big shopping experience. Not on sale but, great hay....LOL No lines.

I'm sorry for you and Hank. Hoping the meds work for him. Just last week I saw info on a Doc named Jasper who had paralysis, wheels and was given some xperimental injections to regenerate. It worked as he was later able to walk without the wheels. These injections were cells from (?) his...

I love that AWESOME baby!!!!! He is sooooo handsome. Could I have him?? Really.....I'd love one.

Most keurig units allow you to remove the portion upon which you sit your cup to allow for the taller travel mugs. Yep, can be pricy but with careful buying about 50 cent per cup. Less than coffeehouse. Always fresh. If two people want different brew, strength it's easy. You can purchase...

Patience. As you say, they are skittish and run off. If you can quietly go out and put food in a spot while it sees you, then, back of/leave to let it eat, you will probably find they associate you and food rather quickly, then they "tolerate" you to be able to eat. Slowly retreat less and...

I am just feeling so very, very badly for the people who have been hit by the very heart of this darned storm. We all discuss being "prepared" for bad weather/extremes/hard times and while most people could be "OK" for a few days -- some of us for a long period of time with self-sufficiency...

They do like to weather a storm, on their own -- so to speak. If it is just a rain storm, mine will wonder into their run-ins. I believe it is a combination of the pressure of the air mass (which we don't normally detect) and the severity of the storm wind -- mother nature works very well...

I'm in VA, 50 miles inland from VA Beach, so the storm is hovering between us and NC coast right now. It's actually still affecting the coast as far down as FL, somewhat.......very spread out storm! Slow moving. Right now I've had some winds, not bad yet, more rain than I want -- not heavy...

Yes, 25 - 40 miles depending on area of Chesapeake. Hey, have we lots of feed stores around, just have to get another animal person to give you locations in your area -- some are not so obvious, LOL -- and many brands. In general, this is a good area with mostly non extreme weather, so you...

Just a reminder, with Sr horses you often have to feed more of their sr feeds as they begin having issues with the consumption of grass and hay. Having 11 who are in mid 20's to early 30's I can assure you they do just fine with these feeds without extra forages. You just have to constantly...
