Yeah, I've been trying to keep her lip dry, and use this hydrocortisone spray the vet prescribed. I was out of town for the past week, and DH is not so good about paying attention to those details.

My dog has lip fold pyoderma. It's kind of a fungal infection where her tooth hits the fold in her lower lip. It bleeds and will get pus in it. Unfortunately, the vet said that the only way to fix it permanently is surgery! She did a round of antibiotics which cleared it right up, but it's...

We have a steel, umbrella-type one that I love! We can get about 3 loads of laundry on it. I can't remember who made it, but we bought it off of Amazon. We sprung for the stainless steel one instead of aluminum & have never regretted it. I want to say it was around $60. We just moved, and...

Nice to know I'm not crazy! :D I drank some hot water with lemon & honey last night, and then DIDN'T have the fan right on me, and my throat is feeling much better today.

Not sure if I sleep with my mouth open, but it wouldn't surprise me. And I can definitely do honey! Some of the treatments I've seen on the internet aren't nearly so tasty!

Does anyone else ever have this problem? At night, I usually flip the fan around so it's pulling air out the window, away from me, but last night it was so hot, I left it blowing in. I woke up feeling like crap. :( Sore throat, really tired, etc. It just seems really unlikely that I picked...

Michael J. Fox!!!! He was officially my first TV/movie star crush after I saw Back to the Future! :love And Kirk Cameron. :D

I agree 100%. I have a couple of friends who are scientists (chemists), and they always have interesting comments about fact v. what the media/pharmaceutical industry says. It's just another case of needing to go directly to the source, instead of a reporter's interpretation of what will...

So this is what Japanese scientists are working on, as opposed to research on cancer or sustainable energy sources??? :rolleyes:

I was frustrated I didn't get my last round of seeds planted! But I did use it as an excuse to do nothing. Finished a book, baked some cookies - sometimes a rainy day is good for us! :) That's so sad about the girl. And all the stories about the kids are so sad. :( I almost think the...

:welcome And good advice right off the bat!! :D Thanks!

I really want to bake something today, as it is pouring rain, and seems like a nice way to spend the day. This will be my first foray into baking since I ditched gluten. My local Kroger had xanthan gum, which I saw was in a lot of GF baked goods recipes, but no tapioca flour. Is there...

I love this post! It's so interesting to see everyone's answers. 1) How long have you been interested in self sufficiency? Since I was a kid, reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books 2) Does your family think you're nuts or are they as crazy as you are? They are fascinated by what we are doing...

I've seen videos of her too, and honestly, I think there's more going on in this little girl's head than just dumping a bunch of paint on canvas & smearing it around. I am a fan of abstract art, and I think some of her work is very beautiful. But I'm don't think it's helpful to give her a...

That sucks. When I lived in Chicago, I had thieves steal my car stereo and a bunch of CDs. Which I didn't understand because there were no cases, so I'm not sure what they thought they could do with them. Of course, these were very thoughtful thieves who just jimmied the window open instead...

Thanks guys! Now if it can just cool off a few degrees, I can get out and enjoy it! But the trailer actually has central air, which my old house did not, so it's not too bad hanging out inside. @Wife: we DEFINITELY need some ducks!! Are there ones that would take care of themselves, where...

Hmm...what if you have some of both?? Grass & brush, I mean. We are considering one or the other, too, and DH is more in favor of goats, while I'm more in favor of sheep. He keeps thinking that we could have goat meat, but goats seem awfully smart, and I think I might have a hard time sending...

We moved to our farm this weekend! 28 acres of peaceful beauty! Well, mostly peaceful. They are installing fiber optic cable for something or other on our road, so that's been a little noisy. We downsized into a trailer, and I have to say it's not too bad. It's very cozy. DH actually...

I think it's so weird how at any given time in the US, people can be saying it's unseasonably hot/cold/wet/dry! Whenever I see the 'averages' reported, it always makes me wonder how often we actually get 'average' weather.... Justusnak - I think it feels a BIT less humid than yesterday, at least.

I agree w/you FC, MEN seems to put out the same articles every issue. So we started getting Grit (same publishing co), and had the same problem. We get Countryside every so often, and I've been meaning to check out Backwoods Home. We do need magazines so DH has something to read in the...
