Twilight

I really enjoyed the long visit with her on the phone shortly before she passed away.

And maybe still is Amber, things have not changed He is borderline or worse and could be unable now to do much for himself. Beer and diabetes do not mix healthily.

Mother canned them like you would any other meat. Use them like chicken with dumplings. If you think they taste wild soaking them in vinegar water will help. Fried squirrel is good too again basically like chicken. It is all dark meat.

I mentioned what Mother did only because I haven't hunted for 40 plus years. She really loved squirrel to eat.

I discussed it with the town police,he called county,and they wanted him to handle it..really we have o county protection if you want to call it that.

Anyway they finally found someone that knew him..but h it was after 10 am before he answered said he as in the house. I am glad to know he is not a corpse.

However I have never known him to stay at home for 4 days.....

When do you know?

My neighbor is/was borderline diabetic. All last week he was bringing in 2 cases of beer a day. No I am not noisy but my dog is!! She lets me know overtime he comes outside leaves or comes back or has visitors,etc.!

Sunday according to his aunt,he was at her house. Monday thru now his car has not moved. I heard a single gunshot from that direction on Tuesday evening.

It has been warmer ,it has been in the 90's and I have not heard his loud AC come on.

What would you do?

This area here is mostly 'welfare'and among them are some extremely obese people. But they also eat lots of junk food.

On another forum was a discussion with lots of proof that buying all your food not raising any was very fattening and general poor health.

When you raise your own you know what you have, if you can your own produce you know exactly.

The Amish for instance used to raise all their own food but here they are in the business of selling discontinued,overstock, outdated, can goods,low end produce, outdated dairy products..and it is a vicious cycle. They can buy cheaper then raise and they think it is affecting their health. Suddenly so many have gluten intolerance, or is it? mental problems, nervous breakdowns, just generally health problems never known to that extent in their group. The smart ones think it has to do with the food quality. As I mentioned the other group discussion, I think they are so right. Sugar/sweetener is hidden in nearly every food as is corn .

Another thing buying not growing you do not have the choice of non gmo foods.

Then it is also how we are made,with different blood types, some are more prone to diabetes than others.read on dadamo.com. he has done lots of research as have others. Some of us have a harder row to hoe.

Although I had an aunt with diabetes that weighed right at 400..she and her little husband had a Jersey dairy farm and she made full use of the cream keeping half a dozen cakes pies cookies on hand always, and providing ham,bacon, sausage and pork chops, potatoes, gravy etc for breakfast. Anyway I am not thinking it is hereditary.

Mother Earth has an excellent article called Eating for diabetes.

It stresses exercise and diet. Increased weight gain increases the chance for diabetes.

But it also says following diet and exercise regimens, insulin can be stopped.

So many illnesses can be controlled or cured by these simple measures.

I don't eat eggs in the summer time or during hot weather.

Eggs here were $1 doz. One Amish store has kept third eggs at $2 $2.25 doz.year around. There does not seem to be scarcity here or high price.

Thanks I have not used clear gel before. It is available in bulk at the local Amish store with no instructions.

I made jam and syrup out of them yesterday treating them basically as fresh. They had next to no sugar so I added enough sugar to sweet but not as much as is called for.

It made 13 lovely 1/2 pints.

Does any know or tried to make jam out of topping?

These do not have a lot of sugar in them. If anyone has eaten ice cream at Sonic with strawberry topping this is what I have 6 lbs of to work up.

Ah yes, as children we put on clean socks and skated all over the waxed hardwood floor.

Thanks for the memories Mono!

The porcine has helped many people that could not tolerate or were not helped by the synthetic.

I have a friend that nearly went over the edge on the synthetic. She got the porcine and found a natural health doctor to help get her regulated to start with. Certain foods can send her to the ER which is related to her thyroid problem. There are times when she is on a much higher dosage and times when she can take less. She used Armour for years but their quality changed and she found another natural product that works.

Smart child...

I think the string toys are meant for owner/dog play only!

They should never be left with a dog/puppy.

Thanks for the tip on peroxide.

I use vinegar for burns.'Lost control' of a pan of boiling sugar syrup which cascaded over 4 fingers on my right hand. No aloe vera plant,friend told me to use vinegar.I used Bragg's and had no blistering and no pain after soaking a paper towel and wrapping around my fingers.

I use coconut oil for insect bites

Only one in whom we can trust ,will never fail nor can anyone conquer....

Sad the greed that invites such things

Squabs are the baby pigeons. They grow extremely fast and if I remember right,cannot yet fly at this stage. Meat is considered extremely delicious and tender.

Not that I have eaten any......

My late husband would have wanted to meet this man. Every fruit tree on our farm was grafted. The pear tree with 3 varieties bore for the first time the year he died.

Yes thank you so much. Makes me wonder about other forums where no one posts recalls..

I am sorry...

I guess people or the gov did not know that whey came from milk?

Why do people not know these things? I must be grumpy this morning .

Are these the young people that thought their parents knew nothing?

Are they just stupid people, people that know everything and don't you dare

try to tell me anything, or why learn it is boring?

What next?

Why isn't there a general recall for anything made in China?

Daughter of a widow , widowed with a daughter, never had

a man help on the farm....though have helped many men farm.

Brushhogging on a tractor, cutting with chainsaw own firewood,

splitting with maul and wedge, raising rabbits, pigs, bottle calves, milking cows/goats,

or have been done all this, I am still a lady. My knowledge is as good or better than theirs,

but I am willing to learn more.

No sir ...no dehydrating of pork chops ..guess they would have to be cooked first..
