You're doing just fine. When I first moved rural, everything was 'boy this or girl that' lolol

SMACK

I am one who suffers from the 'seasonal disorder' primarily starting in January-February due to lack of sun and my allergies to cold weather :). It didn't start until I moved to the farm years ago, probably because I came from a tropical area where warmth and sunshine were in abundance and I was always outside for one reason or another. But after moving to the farm and living in an area that had more distinct 4 seasons, I started to emotionally tank after the first of the year. I started taking Vitamin D to combat it and it immediately worked. I now standardly take Vitamin D year round, especially with the immune support it offers to be a part of keeping my body strong against Covid.

Yes, bees are a fascinating creature. Everyone has their unique way of doing things, but I opted to go a more organic and natural route without the aid of pesticides that are supposedly safe for bees that address the mites and other issues can can accompany beekeeping. Many years ago, the Lord crossed my path with a lady out of Michigan who had worked closely with an older man who had raised bees for decades and had discovered this organic, natural way to not only raise bees, but to also increase the amount of hives. Beekeeping is NOT just about honey, although that is byproduct and blessing of keeping bee hives. There is a preservation aspect to it and a responsibility that is very fulfilling. If you just got the bees in August, there is no way you should extract any honey at this time because the bees will need all they can get to feed themselves over the winter. Anyway, congratulations on your bees!

Pray, and follow the Lord's leading...whatever His plan is for your lives. Whether it is to get a cow for milk, or a goat, or both, or none. As others have already reiterated, it is important that you and hubby follow God's plans for your lives, in spite of what other family members opinions may be. As you've mentioned, YOU will be the one who cares for the animal, and if that is something you are willing to do, then by all means, do it. I have a long and colorful history of various family members thinking I'm crazy for doing one thing or another. From moving from the suburbs to the country, to getting my first goats, to the livestock I accumulated over time, to having a farm, on and on I could go. But I was not dissuaded and plunged forward. I made many poor decisions, I went through rough times for various reasons, but I also learned a lot, grew a lot, and have finally achieved some semblance of success with the various animals I now have. I've primarily kept to Jerseys for milk and Angus for beef. The Jerseys have the highest butterfat % in their milk which is why I chose them. You'll have to have a Jersey (or any cow for that matter) bred to get milk but I would strongly caution you to never, ever, ever get a Jersey bull. They are one of the most dangerous breeds of bulls you can ever get. If you can find someone to take your cow to in order to get bred, that would be best. There are awesome milkers that make milking short work, but there is also a beauty to milking by hand alone. I would get into a 'zone', where a peacefulness would fill my heart where it would be just me and the cow, surrounded by silence except fo the swoosh sounds of milk as they traveled down the teats and the ring the milk would make as it began to fill the pot. I would often find myself feeling that 'all is right with the world in this moment', and for me, it was a beautiful experience to have. While there are a zillion YouTube videos and info on the net, there is also a wealth of experience and knowledge from people here at MrsS who have already walked this road you are contemplating starting on. My counsel would be to 'go for it!' and if y'all change your mind down the road and decide this isn't right for you, you can always sell the cow and go in a different direction. Regardless, I'm excited for you!

No.

Mother has spoken. *mic drop* ((((Mother))))

I posted this site a little while ago and they have supplies. If you keep checking they consistently update their inventory. I bought a lot from them and they are the real thing. I had bought off Amazon and it ended up being fake lids that didn’t seal. Ball, Kerr, Golden Harvest is the USA labels. Bernardin is the Canadian label, all made by the same company. https://masonjarmerchant.com/pages/canning

Beware of propaganda. This virus was man-made.

Yes, it is the same video. I wonder why it wouldn't open. Sheesh.

His video was a real eye opener.

I could attempt to explain this myself, but I can't find a way to state it better than how Dr. Gold stated it in this video: https://cdn.lbryplayer.xyz/api/v4/streams/free/nwnw20210114/c8f474809aaf46ac8eadd85ee7f1d8c777b6b8f9/95bdf3

Last December Dr. Pierre Kory testified before the Senate on the studies that some of the more premiere doctors around the world had been conducting. One of the drugs they discovered that had a tremendous impact on protecting people with COVID is Ivermectin. When I first learned about this I was skeptical because I'm very familiar with this drug and its use with livestock. I never dreamed that it would also have a positive affect on humans in regard to COVID. My family has grave concerns about the current vaccines for a variety of reasons. I also have friends that came down with COVID and one of them almost died. She spent the next 14 months debilitated from the lasting effects of the virus and was contemplating taking her own life because she was getting to the point where she could no longer live the way she had been living post COVID. Dr. Kory and his team of doctors discovered that Ivermectin also has had a positive effect on the COVID "long haulers" (those that continue to suffer from the after effects of COVID). I told my girlfriend about the Ivermectin and she called a doctor who prescribed it for her. She began to take the Ivermectin and for the first time in over 14 months, began to get a little better each day. She's not 100% back to normal, but the positive progress has given her hope. I would strongly suggest that y'all listen to the doctor and I'll place some more posts on their "IMask protocol" which is derived from their studies on how people can protect themselves from getting COVID, as well as how to shorten and minimize the virus for those that get COVID:

So-called vaccination is not the answer. There are medicines that are proven to either prevent or shorten the duration of the virus but for some diabolic reason this so called dangerous vaccination is being purported to be the answer, even though it is not the answer.

Whisky. Nite Mother. lol

You, out of all people should know your allegation is false. Mother WILL need a nap at some point in time and then.....? Mother? Can I get you a cup of tea so that you can relax and put your weary feet up? I know better than anyone how taxing Homey's shenanigans can be

None of the vacs have been thoroughly tested for long term side effects so extreme caution with all of that is called for.

I'm innocent. There I was minding my own business singing kumbya when she threw the first punch. I had to protect myself Mother. Self defense and all that stuff we teach about on here yanno.

Yes, I have seen scattered offerings of cases of jars, but not any sealing lids or rings. I've been looking for over a year and while its nice to see the occasional cases that are available, more often than not, the shelves are empty. I don't need any jars, but my long term concern is that I'll need the sealing lids the most. Rings can be used over and over again, so that's 2nd priority, but the sealing lids are my biggest concern. Last year when I was at the height of canning and discovered the shortage, it was scary to think that I would need to preserve and not have all the tools I needed. I went out to the guest house where I still have hundreds of jars of canning I did 14 years ago and the Lord led me to a flat of sealing lids I had bought years ago. I was ecstatic to find them and even though they were old, they worked perfectly fine and got me over the hump last summer. I stocked up from the site I mentioned above because I don't trust the supply chains. There is too much manipulation going on and adversely affecting peoples ability to get or have food can be catestrophic.

I'm going to start a new thread for the COVID discussions. It is now titled 2020-2021 COVID and here's the link: 2020-2021 COVID

Am starting a new thread on the Corona Virus since the 2020 Corona Virus is maxed out

If you're like me, finding canning jar sealing lids and rings has been virtually impossible for over a year now. Thankfully, the Lord led me to a website that while limited, does carry the canning lids. The traditional Ball canning jar manufacturer also makes Kerr, Golden Harvest and the Canadian sister is Bernardin. Their website is www.masonjarmerchant.com I was also able to find wide mouth canning rings on Lehmans, in case anyone needs some of those.

Sheesh, I'm so sorry, I totally missed the note! So yes, thank you and God bless you too Jeepers! Here's our current balance in our server fee purse:
