I think it is becasue it is so carb-based. Cereal and toast for breakfast, and alot of pasta based dinners. Jello, fruit cups laden with sugar. We just don't eat like that, so it came as a big shock to his system.

maybe you need to rephrase the question. what exactly are you asking about?

My husband is in the hospital right now. He can't believe what they are trying to pass off as healthy food.

My mom got some kefir grains from me, and she used skim milk. She said the kefir was grainy and she couldn''t blend out the lumps, so she gave up on it, b/c she didn't like it. I couldn't convince her to use whole or even 2% milk. My sis, who is also a low fatter, uses 2% for her kefir grains...

I made a moisturizing bar last year,and am still using it --mostly as a lip balm. Next time I make it I will get some of the actual lip balm containers to put it in. Works great! 4oz beeswax 4oz raw cocoa butter 4oz of a carrier oil 10 drops of essential oil Melt the cocoa butter and...

We had an extremely wet spring, then a heat wave, and now we are back to soooo much rain!! I had to drain my pool as it was 2 inches from overflowing, and can't winterize it yet due to it won't. stop. raining. I have so much to do to get ready for winter (that I now have to do myself b/c of...

All my critters eat grass hay, but for milking time, I feed Caprice oats, boss, and alfalfa cubes. I did just up her alfalfacubes, but no difference yet. As per Bbrooks suggestion, I can't cost effectively give her carrots, so I have not tried that. I was just curious to knw if this was...

So, she's been milked for about 6 months, so I guess it is normal then?

Yeah, we have had a great hay year also on the ohter side of the lake. Luckily I have enough and then some to last us until next hay season. Hope you can find some to hold you over the winter.

I have had my goat since May, and for the longest time, I was getting 3 1/2 lbs of milk from her each milking. She is now down to 2 1/2 lbs. and has been for about a month. Is this normal? I plan on breeding her this November.

I made sauerkraut last week a la the NT recipe. I let it sit for three days and when I tasted it after the three days, I found it was terribly salty. I thought I had measured out the salt wrong. But I figured I could tough it out and put it in the fridge. Now, a week later, it is great. so...

I am not a homeschooler, but Moolie's ideas are great. One thing that worked with my son... I had an exercise ball that he loved. He used that thing when sitting at the table doing written work. He could bounce and roll, which took care of his need for constant movement, but still allowed...

What type of sugar were you using? I have never had that happen. It is said that if you use honey, the antibacterial properties of the honey can kill the grains. for kombucha too.

I think that is a valid point, about telling him he needs to spay teh female or turn her over too. Hubby and I have talked sabout this. He is going to go over today, if he gets a break (NO pun intended :P) (it has still been crazy around here). I am too chicken of confrontation to do this by...

This is EXACTLY what I have been thinking about all day. I totally agree with this approach. I think this is what I (we) will do. If we need to take it further, we will do so, but after this conversation.

WE believe the kitten we had last week was from the same litter. We have talked to other neighbours--we are the only one 'blessed' with kittens. :/

Our property is on a corner of two country roads which arent' travelled very much. the jerk neighbour lives basically kitty corner to us. He is still about 1/4 mile away. The next nearest neighbours are about 1/2 mile in either direction. There was no one else around. I was near my son when...

Just to show you the caliber of my dear wonderful husband, when we went to visit him in the hospital after church on Sunday, he was in the lounge watching --yep-- motocross. :lol: :rolleyes: My husband is an adrenaline junkie, this is nothing new to me. Hubby flies planes, races KTMs on a...
