Twilight

MtRider you mentioned milk and bread. I had no bread so I could not try it. Would you explain how you used it.

I think there are goathead stickers in Texas

that can painful to barefeet or pet's feet.

So far the best I have used has been the banana peel. I did react to the lavender.

This common malady needs to be addressed.

Please add types of thorns ,stickers from your area.

Tree and proven remedies would be helpful also.

I am going to start out with a case history of my DD.

She was wearing sandals running in the meadow when a dry stuab penetrated her heel. I took one look at it and knew it was beyond me. I took her to the ER as it was late in the summer evening. They looked askance of me that I would ask for splinter removal...11/2 hour later they were almost desperate. It was no laughing matter. The dry staub had shattered under the skin. It all ended well no infection.

Splinters from Penta or creosote or other treated posts used for fencing can cause agonizing pain and to say the least are poisonous.

Thorns from locust trees can also cause dreadful pain.

Some thorns..after penetration though you may remove it the tip breaks off under the skin.

Remedies

Salt or Epsom salts mixed with honey will draw painfully and can pull splinters out. Honey is a natural antibiotic.

The inside of the banana peel taped to the splinter area will draw powerfully!!

Today I am going use lavender and tea tree oil and hope I will not react to the lavender.

I have tried the above remedies and each have drawn more of the splinter out of my finger.

In casting my DD was allergic to the cast material even though there was the 'glove' put on first . The cast had to be taken off and a second glove put on.

55 years ago when my arm was broken-greenbreak-it was wrapped in cotton strips.

The knowledge of correct bandaging can also be used on animals.

Smile yesterday is over. A young Amish man came and installed a SS chimney so now I have heat again. This mild weather has been wonderful, now to get my car fixed!

I got a nasty big splinter in my finger so put a honey Epsom salts poultice on it last night. Think by the looks of the bandage the nasty got pulled out!! But the splinter is big and long maybe it will work itself through my finger and come out on the other side!

All I can read is for the most part, doctors tell patients to listen to their own bodies and eat accordingly. Main prescription is glucose tablets. But nothing I have read gits everyone even part of the time.

I do not, nor ever have eaten a lot of sugar. I simply do not like sweet food!

I can with sugar but it is always with light syrup, my jellies may not firm as well because I use far less sugar than the recipe calls for.

Being old fashioned, Sarah,I prefer the old way of looking at things. Grin..

We have talked about hyperglycemia but what about hypoglycemia? Is there anyone else in this family that has

too much insulin in their body?

Notice the date on that? December 2014!

Has anyone priced things they want BEFORE black Friday?

I see markups that are giving shoppers regular price, on Amazon anyway. So far I have bought nothing but I priced led lights..weeks ago and they are higher now..

That is just one thing.

Depending... on type of mange..ivomectrin would probably work as a chemical otherwise essential oils.

Mange is very contagious

DD brought dinner.... turcken as she called it as it was chicken gourmet seasoned...turnip salad!!! a potato dish,gravy,and dressing...all with her special touch. I provided freshly made cranberry sauce (cranberries were $.79 at Aldis) cheesecake topped with cherries and coffee.

ASUS Jellybug I think the Mac is out the question, too old for updates.

I found myself in NZ! Who knew I could travel so far in a book!! Now I am picking flowers and watching the fleecy clouds go by as I lay on my back in the lush grass. I am beginning to feel

Walking one evening we found needles..lots of them. We asked someone about it,and found that the needles were stolen from the hospital. ..used needles! We called the sheriff's dept. They said don't touch them they were are would be watching the area. They also cracked down on the hospital as used needles are not supposed to be where anyone can get them.

Cat I am glad you are ok!

Milk???

It is a still small voice that speaks. We have the choice to listen or ignore it.

Thank you for sharing.

Well I am not going to get into the debate of squash and pumpkin! Grin!

My way of thinking is that pumpkins are all sizes/colors but with a particular taste. Squash is the table variety that are summer fruiting or keepers like acorns or Hubbards.

But then my late DH and I went round and round about the difference in peas and beans...... so is it choice or fact?????

They were such nice big seeds and I was going to roast them. I am working on a neck pumpkin now and the seeds are about half as big.

These dogs can be so smart and want to to what their owner does....

Having a dog for a companion more than pet...can be a hard row to hoe.

My sympathies

Anyone far enough south want some beautiful heirloom pumpkin plants? This pumpkin has a long French name but is known as the peanut pumpkin due to its shape.

I tossed the seeds out thinking they were spoiled......

I try to thank every soldier I meet for the service they gave us..

Do you think it was the meat ?

So sorry you are going thru this and you MIL too. Did the Dr give her some new medication?

Kim started having stomach problems in August. The lymphoma had come back with a vengeance and soon spread over her body, she did have a large mass on her liver but it was worse elsewhere.

She was taken in by a Mennonite family, the same one that Bethany now lives with, and they cared for her in their home until she passed. Hospice was there also. Bethany stayed with her Mom everyday, and was with Kim when she died with her hand on her arm.Bethany cried herself to sleep that night.

The property will continue on being paid for by the family that legally has Bethany. The goats have gone to a different family. Kim went away very loved.

I buy honey by the gallon and put it in quart or pint jars. Then it can be set on the stove near a burner without fear of melting.

I have eaten raw honey / comb all my life and never had any to spoil regardless of the age. The only time honey is likely to be bad is if it is green..or uncapped. It should never be taken from the hive in that condition

She died from liver cancer, was in hospice care. Kim could not take chemo due to MCS.

Kim last posted here in April but did not mention health just lack of funds.

There will be more info later when I check into it, as it is something I do not understand
