    Yesterday morning I woke up with an achey ankle. It had gotten progressively worse during the day, and was swollen up around the lower end of the fibula bone. This morning the swelling is down some, and I wrapped it with an elastic bandage for stability. Has anyone ever gotten a sprain in...

    Technology is ruining the human race

    Why does technology have to keep "improving"? Wasn't it okay when the news was in newspapers, when you had to talk on a land line phone (I still do), when people walked around with their heads looking forward noticing what was around them, instead of down?

    Hen Turning into Rooster-How to Reverse

    I do not know yet how to reverse. Her conversion does not bother me, and I don't need the eggs she's not laying, but the rooster she is with now thinks she's a threat, but he hasn't all out started fighting with her. She hasn't mounted any other hens (that I'm aware of). I've researched and...

    Any members experienced sheep hide tanners?

    Fleshing and thoroughly washing before the blood dried on the wool would have been ideal, but couldn't at the time, so I am looking for a solution in getting dried blood out of the wool. The hides have been salted and stored for almost 1 year. The first one that I recently got out of storage...
