Trying to catch up on this one ... Not read all yet. But I'm one of those people that bought 30 bottles or so if BBQ sauce. Albertson's had it on sale CHEAP and their was a coupon atrached to the bottle, so I stocked up and paid somewhere around 15 cents a bottle. That was years ago, and I'm...

It all SOUNDS good on the surface, but we all know things can be interpreted in different ways and it can later be taken to mean whatever they want it to mean. More specifics rather than generalities would be nice to read. Giving the government carte-blanche is never a good idea, IMO. As far...

Sigh .... :he

Well, I didn't want to say so at first (I try to keep smoothed feathers around me LOL, and besides it's a case of I heard it from someone, but ...) When Natures Sunshine first came out with their Colloidal silver, it was backordered for months. You couldn't get it. When we asked why, we were...

I'm not fond of duck-smell up close, but as long as I'm not sniffing them ... :lau My chicken coop DID have a little smell this afternoon, maybe the rain got in last night but I do have a broody on a nest that might have pooped (and that DOES reek!) and someone smashed an egg -- again...

Just got a little caught up ... Sorry with the situation about the house. I know that IS frustrating. I always try to think that what is meant to be, will be. Saves me a lot of stress. I hope you'll find exactly what works for you, and then you'll be glad you didn't get that one. I did want to...

Well ... I have a few ferns and caladiums by the door. And I'd hand water my tomatoes, potatoes, peaches, peppers, figs, grapes, and berries if I had to (but it would probably take SEVERAL hours, lol. I guess I'm not going to stress much about the grass/pasture. The rain has greened up a few...

If it IS possible that it's a stroke ... I recently had taken over care of an elderly dog (14 yo large breed, so very old for her size) who had just had an episode. I finally figured out it was likely a stroke. She was wild-eyed, didn't recognize her surroundings, seemed to be temporarily deaf...

Now I feel bad for complaining yesterday. I woke up in the early morning hours to the sound of .... RAIN!!! And that was our 20% chance. The 60% has now dropped to the 30-40 range, but I'm just so glad we actually got some rain!!! And the wind has died down considerably. Only 10-15 mph...

Too funny about your wife and the chicks! In her defense though, I can totally understand! I kwym about not feeding the meaties and feeling bad. Today I'm cooking the last two guineas I planned to slaughter. No plans to process any more birds for a while, so I don't have to deal with...

I wish I could offer some help, but that situation is not familiar to me. If it could be poisoning, do you have activated charcoal? With what info I've seen so far, if it were me, I'd give that a try. I totally understand about the vet costs. Pet animals around here tend to cost high dollar...

Hmmmm .... When I opened this thread, I had only heard of flystrike as it affects rabbits. I'm using a mister system to cool mine since it's been over 100F. They do stay moist, but one good thing about the unbelievable 24/7 winds we've had for months is the almost zero flies (also unheard-of)...

I'm so sorry your Grandma passed away. Hugs, and my prayers are with you and your family. It's so wonderful that you got to see her and she recognized you though. Your las few posts brought tears to my eyes. I do hope you have a wonderful time with your family and everyone becomes closer, even...

I'll send you a PM. :) But first I want to make sure what I have is what you want, and that I can get seed. :) (And birds are everywhere, high activity not far away. But they seek first water, and after that nesting places and bugs for food. They don't mess with seeds. Maybe the chickens or...

:welcome Welcome welcome welcome! Good to have you and Dawn, you are too funny!

Thanks for the fire update. That's probably my biggest risk here. Would I evacuate? Sigh ... For a fire I think there's no choice, if it's coming. I don't know what I'd do about my animals. I've been through tornado, flood, hurricane, earthquake, fires ... Some more major than others. Tornado...

I believe the OP was actually asking for treatments in addition to what the doctor prescribed? But there are certainly people with valid concerns who cannot or choose not to go to a doctor as well. I'm not completely opposed to doctors. They are often the best source for a diagnosis (though I...

I have an aerobic septic system, so everything that goes out of the house gets sprayed on the pasture anyway. I do have some 400 gallons worth of barrels, and might be able to get more. I don't really know what came in them (I think a soap product) so I hadn't earmarked them for water barrels...

Not to mention yes, their own ignorance of THIS country's history (speaking from the US) is showing. And they can't spell, nor do they understand public health proceedures or concerns. To answer you actual question, yes, unfortunately, I CAN believe that person's ignorance. I prefer to avoid...

Thanks for the info! I'll get out there asap then, and if seeds are ready I'll get them and then let you see the leaf and tell me if it's right. Though the birds aren't being bad on seed here. I like the little nuthatches and I finally spent $2 putting up a birdfeeder outside my kitchen window...
