RE: Turmeric... I've been reading a lot of information lately that promotes the use of turmeric for memory and prevention of Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias. Since I cared for my father who had Alzheimer's, I'm all for any help I can get! I started adding a shake of it to many of the...

I don't think the length of time you've had carpal tunnel affects your candidacy for surgery, but it may affect which procedure is best for you. I was unable to have the less invasive procedure and had the full blown regular surgery. Still just an outpatient day surgery and had no side effects...

For those of you with severe carpal tunnel syndrome...don't discount surgery. I had it so severe in both hands, that for every two hours of sleep, I'd have an hour or two sleepless, pacing the house until the pain subsided. Daytime symptoms were bad, too. It affected my work, sleep, everyday...

Welcome! :cool:

Not just any fruit trees...he wants to cut down their two MAYHAW trees! The wife might be able to keep him reined in on those, but he told us he'd already cut down their bananas to increase the size of their driveway to accomodate their fishing boat! She mentioned she had muscadine grapes, but...

My research got put on hold while I work on income taxes. :barnie Soon as I get done though, I'll start up again. I'm getting pretty desperate here. I swear my cats have been having little tussles with each other just to leave extra tufts of hair on the carpet!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these two doors yet. I scored them from freecycle this morning. Solid wood and heavy duty glass. I don't need them for the house, and my first thought is to save them for a garden shed or greenhouse. There are all kinds of possibilities! The people...

I've been known to drive off into a ditch before! :lol: I didn't go to the Houston Arboretum's plant sale a few weeks ago, but I think they had mayhaws for sale. They had some other things for sale that I want, but I didn't know about the sale until the night before! I will probably try to...

Here's a short youtube video that shows how to make a quick and easy potting table from pallets. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvHjDyPNKhk

My old Eureka Boss Smartvac was about 10-15 years old. The bristles on the beater bar all worn off. I was just about to order a new beater bar because that thing just kept on sucking up cat hair and dirt. Glad I hadn't spent the money yet because I plugged it in and started vacuuming and the...

I may start a new thread, but my search for info on vacuum cleaners turned up your quest for a new vac. How happy you are now that more time has passed by. I HAVE to buy a new vacuum cleaner since mine literally burned up--sparks and everything! It was 10-15 years old and a bagged...

I have long been interested in grinding my own flours. I've done a little with pecan flour by adding it to other flour when making bread. I'll be keeping up with your progress on this. Thanks for the seed offer! Sweet potatoes are so good for you. We grew them a couple of years ago. I...

I'm going to throw my 2 cents in...and that's about all it's worth! :) I think the forum is nicely set up, and the categories are well-defined. To some, that may be a plus. For me, it is somewhat of a negative. There are so many categories that I have to search and scroll just trying to...

Our garden won't be very large this year because we're trying to put some of our time towards working on the house. We currently have only broccoli, cabbage, collards, onions, potatoes, tomatoes and carrots planted. He may have set the peppers out too, but I'm not sure. Eggplant will go in...

One of the reasons I like seeing your posts is because I'm so close to your growing region. If it grows in your area, it should work in mine! This is so cool! I can't wait to hear about the continuing progress! Jill

I lurk a lot more than I post because of time factors. I could spend way more time than I have available if I answered even a fraction of the threads that interest me. Jill

According to the state extension websites I visited, honey has an INDEFINITE shelf live, as does sugar. Think about it...sugar is a preservative! On a side note: While looking for backup references to the indefinite shelf life of honey, I found also found this article...

We don't have a greenhouse. Our plant starts are kept in a small garden shed with a grow-light above them. When it's going to be cold, we turn on a small electric ceramic heater. Our temps don't get at cold as yours, though. I've used incandescent work lights and another one that might be...

Peeling and thin nails can also be a side effect of anemia. Not saying your MIL's isn't a fungus--I just know from first hand ;) experience that anemia caused my fingernails to split and peel and were very thin, when I'd always had strong nails prior. Addressed the cause/treated the anemia and...

This IS a great site with friendly members. I'm relatively new and haven't posted a lot, but I do read on a daily basis. The reason I don't post much is because I can lose myself time-wise and my time management goes out the window. I hope no one thinks I don't appreciate the good folks here...
