With my mom being home, stress and drama at work and just the normal chaos that my life has become... I forgot to cover my cabbage and brocc last night. We had a light freeze. My grandad used to say if he wet down his frosted crops before the sun hit them, they survived. So I tried it. If...

the main issue I have with horse meat is that horses are not raised to be "food grade" - which means ol' glue factory out there has has 30yrs of vaccinations, dewormers, supplements etc and now that he has no "useful purpose" I"m gonna sell him for your family to eat. Basically - I won't...

our wind chill was 25 last night. My mom isn't walking yet, FC.. in fact she is still unable to stand on her own. She just got home and they had the fire department come put her to bed. I don't know what to expect. I was trying to come back and just mind my own business, but every...

I see the craziness continues.... *sighs and shakes head* Anyway - mom is still in the rehab. I think she may come home this week - not because she is standing on her own, but because Medicare stops paying the 100% for the home, and she isn't getting enough help there to merit paying for...

Thanks FF My mom is still in rehab but I am not so impressed with the place. She and my dad had a meeting with the physical therapist, social worker and administrator today expressing their concerns. She gets about 30 min of PT a day mon - fri and then rarely sees any other staff. My...

Whew! Finally making it back through. What a crazy couple of weeks. My mom finally made it to a rehab today. She likes it, the folks are nice and it is rated 5 star by some national agency. They told her they won't begin her physical therapy until Monday. I think they are going to use a...

Well my mom was discharged from the hospital on 10/27 and we spent the next 8 days figuring out ways to clean her and her bed with her only being able to stand 15 seconds max. Friday 11/4 she was so weak she was unable to stand at all, and she had diarrhea (sorry). With us trying to clean her...

peanuts are one of our major crops here... but drought conditions didn't help http://www.northescambia.com/?p=73193

I don't know why they are so mean to her - Poppy the rooster will zip across the full length of the yard to flog her and a couple of the hens will gang up on her as well. Poor Pat just lays there with her eyes closed and takes everything they throw at her. When she sees me she runs as hard as...

So my mom has been in the hospital for the past week or so... they finally sent her home even though she is completely unable to stand on her own (she was in for her congestive heart failure but they totally mutilated her knee that she fractured last month). She is really overweight so my 78yr...

The Bible Study thread has been here for a very long time now with no issues, why now? The Pagan Circle was started for folks with that belief system and there are Christians chiming in with curiosity and respect. So what's the issue? Don't read them they are clearly marked and there are...

I'm fortunate on the peanut side of things... that is one of the major crops here. We just had a huge peanut festival with over 10k people attending.

Dog Camp went fine, though it did put a crimp in my camping on Friday. I had a great time! My horse is still too young /small for me to ride, but I had him out at the trail ride anyway just to get him exposed to the chaos. He did awesome... the trainer rode him for the first time in her arena...

This!

rushing through at work.... had this from a financial email I receive periodically

I was all excited that tomorrow is my "friday" and I would be off work until Sunday.... and then I remembered I have to work overnight on Friday night. Friday at noon a friend is bringing her 75lb great dane puppy (5mths) to stay overnight with me while they go out of town. Then after he...

So I have procrastinated about 2 weeks in regards to planting the muscadine vines. One was down at my parent's house where I made a half-hearted effort to take it where it would be planted. The other was left on my porch in its nursery pot. For 2 weeks (or more?). Last night when I got home...

hoping things go well today!

I transplanted some broccoli and cabbage plants... still have some cauliflower and lettuce to move. This is my first "cold weather" garden so I may come up empty handed ,... again lol My garden needs some serious attention - when it was a bust this past spring I just let it go, now it looks...

A local church here does a blessing of the animals... but I have never had the nerve to take any of my crazy critters! I love Barktoberfest - go every year. Last year it was pretty small and hardly any crowd so I didn't expect much , but it was absolutely packed this year. Saw lots of money...
