Yesterday I went to my doctor to check out the fact that my feet and ankles keep swelling. Probably due to the heat but I have had this problem for years now and usually it will go away but this time it hasn't. I was afraid this would be my first prescribed medication and was resolved to that...

I was just asking about the Essiac herb mix out of curiosity. I use the dry mix for tea. I sold all my herbal books when I moved and won't be doing much more than I already do now. When I lived in the forest I had many different wild plants that I used for medicinal as well as for our food...

I do the same thing! I have pictures on my computer of my gardens, my many harvests and canning days and I say to myself, "Can it be true? Did I do all that work?" And now standing for longer than 5 minutes knocks me out!

I know what you mean. Especially now in these times, which is kind of what I was preparing for before. Now I am in an apartment in a city...........a small city, but a city nonetheless. I have been researching senior citizens urban prepping and there are others in this situation as well. Just...

Animals have the right idea. They don't eat or move around much in the hot weather. My horses would not go outside their barn in summer during the day. Once it got dark though, out they'd go.

This is an interesting thread to me because heat bothers me something awful. I grew up in FL and it did not bother me as a kid. I remember it bothering my father though and we had air conditioning as soon as we moved there from NY in 1962. When I lived at my house, which did not have ac and for...

How much of the dry herb mix do you put in the jar? I have always made the tea with it and drank it twice a day for preventative. I believe it is used for much more than cancer. I used it myself on two of my cats and it saved their lives. Now that I live in a smaller place and alone not sure...

Thank you and welcome to you too!

Good idea! Did he know that was why you did that?

I did not get my hay yesterday as I counted on. Today for sure or my bunny boy will pack up and leave. So I will be setting up my new hay storage plan in place when I get it. Immediately I have to clean his cage because overnight it was skimpy on what hay I had left. Then my bf and his new dog...

Worked on changing my blog header on my blog this morning. Now I am waiting for my bf to bring hay for my bunny. I am cleaning out my storage area to make room for a hay box in there and the other one is in my bathroom closet. Hoping it will last a month like that.

I used to love it too. Even did all my laundry by hand outside. I got where I could not do it anymore. Especially hanging it up. My husband had to do it.

I live in an apartment building that has a laundry room downstairs. The machines are operated with a card that you put money on. It is $1.75 for washers and $1.50 for dryers. Since I was used to washing my laundry by hand, it was not and still is not hard for me to wash my clothing and bring it...

Thank you for the warm welcome back posts!

So happy you joined!

No, I would not want to go back and do it again. I went to two different schools actually because my parents moved us. School was hard for me and I skipped school a lot. I quit going in the 10th grade, before I was old enough to formally quit. My parents both worked so they did not know...

HilltopDaisy.............now that's a name I haven't heard in awhile! So happy to see you here!

Yes, I did it for years. It does better as just ground meat instead of patties. Though I had a friend who canned his like meatballs. He called them hamburger rocks. I have done it both ways, draining the fat off and then when I went on the keto diet, I kept the fat in it. I saved all the liquid...
