Thanks, everyone.

The tests are in, and I have the results but I haven't talked to the doctor about them yet. I'm not sure what to make of them. I'm super low in a few cholesterol readings, I didn't see anything online about problems associated with low cholesterol, so I'm assuming this is fine. One of the...

The judge's opinion said the plaintiffs cannot support their case because their arguments "are extremely underdeveloped." "This court is unwilling to declare that there is a fundamental right to consume the food of one's choice without first being presented with significantly more developed...

Sue Flay the chicken died today. RIP, my sweet pet.

She is hanging in there; she actually laid an egg today! She walked around a little, took some water from a dropper, and ate a little bit of scrambled egg. Her wounds are drying out and looking like they are starting to heal; I have been spraying them heavily with veterinary antibiotic spray...

No, I don't think she's eating or drinking. She will take water in if I drip it on her beak, but she's not interested if I put water in front of her. I gave her some scrambled egg and grapes this morning--two things she normally loves--and she wasn't interested in those either. :hit

Thanks, everyone. Her wounds are far worse than I initially thought -- serious damage to her chest and leg, along with the head wound. But somehow she is more alert now than she was this morning, and the swelling in her face is going down. I got a veterinary spray for the wounds. I don't...

I bought a new car a couple of months ago for my commute. The car I wanted also had a very high resale value, and it was easy to find them used, but hard to find them at a price that made used much of a deal over new. I got a really good price and I figure I will use the car for a decade or...

I have sewn a bunch of stuff without pattern, mostly costumes (fairy skirt and shirt, a couple of renaissance dresses, some skirts and vests, witch dress, etc.). I don't have anything against patterns, I just often can't find patterns that are exactly what I want. I'm sure I don't do it...

I woke up to chickens screaming at two this morning. I wasn't sure what I heard, so I got up and listened at the balcony door. Yep, it was a chicken upset. I got a jacket to cover my PJs, got a flashlight, and ran out to the back. I heard some critter in the bushes as I approached, which...

Yes, I've been gluten free for about 18 months, and it's made a world of difference for my chronic digestive problems. The inability to concentrate, etc. initially started after I was gluten free for a month or two, but then it went away for a while and I felt great. Now it's back. I was...

The vitamins helped, but I still was not 100%, so I decided to go in anyway. Now I remember why I never go to the doctor. I had to fill in a hundred forms, and then when the doctor came in she asked me all the same questions anyway, because she clearly had not looked at the info I entered into...

I used to love quilting, but I never have time for it so I haven't done it in a long time. I have made my daughter a few different quilts, just kid-sized ones of plain blocks or triangles. I made a few baby quilts that I gave away, I have an appliqu quilt (the first one I did--it's a total...

Yep, that's the entirety of the potato harvest. Good thing I'm not trying to live off the land! :lol: The fact that they grew at all is kinda cool -- I've never grown potatoes before. Aside from that, the garden this year yielded a few handfuls of grape tomatoes and yellow pear tomatoes, one...

Went cold turkey on the caffeine today. Holy cow, what a headache! I took a couple of ibuprofen and a couple of naps (weird dreams!). Tomorrow should be easier. I tried Abi's deep in the ocean meditation, and got a panicky feeling that I was drowning. :lol: I think I might try marianne's...

I see the opposite problem more often than not -- "helicopter parents" that spend their time hovering around their kids never allowing them to make a decision for themselves. Then they wonder why their teens and college students have no common sense. (I do my best to stay silent rather than...

Ooh, what a find! Let us know what how the cider turns out.

I would guess that at least half the texts were to other party goers. The youngsters *were* being social and friendly, just not in a way you recognized.

Ooh, that's a good one. I can't shut the thoughts off either. I'll try to see it that way. Thanks!

Wow. You all are awesome. Thank you so much for your responses. Someone else has told me melatonin worked for her as well. I had not heard of valerian for sleep, and I never thought of benedryl. Good to know there are choices. (I'm with ya on the warm milk though :sick ) savingdogs, how...
