  1. You can put it in caps, but it has no taste. You can also just stir it into a glass of water and drink it.

    All salts are not the same. You want to be careful of NaCl if you are watching "salt" intake. It is sodium salts that can cause water retention. There are many other salts that aren't sodium, such as KCl, potassium chloride, or potassium salt.

  2. Loveinit, about 3 to 4 weeks and I was no longer in pain. I've been taking it for 3 yrs now. After about 6 months I dropped to once or twice a week unless I start having pain in my hands and then 2 or 3 doses will take care of it.

     

    Violet, borax is the mineral boron. You probably have it in your vitamins, but in lower amounts than is needed to relieve arthritis.

     

    I've had no side effects whatsoever in the 3 yrs. When I took Rx meds they only helped a little with the pain and the side effects were terrible.

  3. I had a golden retriever once that jumped all over everybody, except when daughter's birth mom brought her barely walking one yr old to visit. That dog got down and crawled on her belly after the baby so she wouldn't hurt the baby. Only dog I ever had that did that though.

  4. Fertilizer shouldn't have stopped the seeds from sprouting. You would have had sickly looking seedling, but you would have had something come up. I'm really leaning towards old seed that rotted. Occasionally when I had old beans that didn't sprout I carefully brushed dirt away and found a mushy substance where the seed had been. Very easy to miss it.

  5. Mine are still in the pen with a gosling who was stepped on by a goat and suffered a broken ankle. Didn't think the gosling would walk again but it is getting around, just not well enough to be out with the crowd. It has adapted by walking on the side of its foot, poor thing.

  6. I picked up some well trimmed roasts at a local meat market for the same price as hamburger, but without all the fat. I put it thru the food processor to grind into hamburger then freeze it. I don't like buying hamburger since the grinding process introduces bacteria and you need to cook or freeze immediately after grinding.

  7. Well mama runner duck has decided babies aren't her thing any more. Runners are such shatter brains anyhow. The kids knocked the hardware cloth off the outside of the duckling pen and they made a mad dash for the pond and mama with them. Mama had a bath then went on the lam, leaving babies on the pond to play. I herded ducklings back into the pen with the spray from the garden hose and fixed the hardware cloth back. That was yesterday. Today I made the duckling pen secure against chickens that were eating the ducklings out of house and home and secured the hardware cloth against kids that like to stand on fences. The babies are 2-3 times as big as when they hatched but not feathered out by any means. They also STINK. Rather have that smell outside away from the house than in the kitchen or even on the back deck where it draws flies. Babies aren't happy. They want to go play on the pond. They wouldn't survive long out there though.
