My oldest DD works for a Veterinarian. Yesterday She went into work and there was a chihuahua that someone tied to the back door of the office. She came home with a sad tale of how if they can't find a owner the dog will be sent to the pound. She wanted the dog. Our dog is in her last years of life. The cat is about 2 years younger. Now don't get me wrong. I like pets. I just don't want another one. Every time I hear can we get .... NO is the answer. They don't take care of the ones we have. I have heard about the poor dog ever since she came home from work. Her office found out where the puppy has gotten veterinary care She got a text saying the puppy went home. Kids Mommy

My co-worker just returned from Mexico and she said eggs are now over $4.00 a kilo. They are getting eggs from Canada too. She said no one is eating chicken and to buy imported chicken is extremely expensive.

Cool.

We trapped 3 today. That makes 6 so far.

So far we have trapped 3 and Son saw another one today. Dh said he thought it was to early for them to be coming in for the winter. I told him I saw Orion moving into it's fall position this week.

http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/5774.html My child is not ADD or ADHD but the fish oil and zink helped with behavioral problems. Diet is also important. This is also something to think about. Although the cause of ADHD is unknown, the theories abound. Some believe it is associated with subtle differences in brain structure. Brain scans reveal a number of subtle changes in the brains of those diagnosed with ADHD. In fact, one of the former names used for ADHD was "minimal brain disorder." Others say it's related to neural pathways, neurotransmitters or brain chemistry — particularly abnormalities in the brain chemical dopamine. Still other researchers believe ADHD is related to the brain's blood supply or electrical system. Recent research has raised the question of whether frequent exposure in early childhood to rapid electronic stimuli (such as television and computers) might contribute to this problem. Richard Degrandpre, in his book Ritalin Nation: Rapid-Fire Culture and The Transformation of Human Consciousness, theorizes about what he calls a "sensory addiction phenomenon." He feels that many of the behaviors seen in ADHD people stem from a sensory bombardment from TV programs, movies, computers and so on. He feels that early exposure to this sensory bombardment, especially at a time when the brain is just forming connections and synapses, may result in biological or neurological effects, including, but not limited to, ADHD. Degrandpre believes that these effects can be exaggerated in the absence of parental structure. We live in a world that is incredibly stimulating; there are constant stimuli in the life of even a young child. I don't know that we can get rid of all that, but I know that I can encourage parents to provide a loving, warm, structured environment so children can learn to deal with all the stimuli. One piece of data that may support Degrandpre's theory is the experience of the Amish, who are known to forego computers and television. This keeps their children from this type of stimulation; ADHD appears to be uncommon among the Amish. Researchers have reported that among 200 Amish children followed prospectively and compared with the non-Amish population, symptoms of ADHD were unusual.

Great ideas. I do take Aleve every day. The wax sounds wonderful lovenit. I stopped crocheting everyday this week but I'm making 7 Solomon's knot shawls for Christmas gifts so I have to keep at it. I have borax , that reminds me I need to make more laundry soap. My diet could improve a lot. Philbe I live in a big Amish community so finding something the Amish use is not a problem. I haven't used Aspercream in a long time. That would work on my shoulder and elbow which is mostly muscle pain. I'm praying that I can get a different job, I want out of the factory.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp=48779300 I know the west nile virus can kill you and it's bad this year. I would want to know the symptoms before I panic and call 911. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/wnv_factsheet.htm

One of my co-workers is on vacation week. She will not be back until the end of next week. There are two jobs that are very hard on your hands, wrist and shoulder. One job is not hard to learn. The other job is considered skilled. We rotate 6 positions between 11 people so it's not so hard on your hands.3 of my co-workers are not trained on the skilled job. With the co-worker on vacation instead on being on the skilled job 3 hours a day I've been on it 6 to 7 hours. I have arthritis in my hands and It's killing me this week. Any ideas on how to calm the pain down .

Wonderful news Cat. I just handed my kids a cookbook, the grocery list and told them to pick a night. Dd2 will still need some help but #1 and Son are old enough to do the meal by themselves. The youngest two are planing desert with dinner. That's something I only do once a week but if it gets them cooking OK. Son wants to do peanut butter pasta I'm not a big PB fan. http://www.eatmedeli...tter-pasta.html One time my career oriented sister called me and ask how to make boiled potatoes

Beautiful wedding. Hope you are recovering well.

We think we found out how the squirrel got into our house. Dh is having a hard time fixing the soffit so a friend is coming over to help him. I was alone in the house. Dh and the dog were outside. I was in the living room and heard a noise by the bookcase. I know the cat hides in the bookcase so I called to her. I saw her peeking out from under the table on the other side of the room. With visions of wild squirrels dancing in my head I looked back at the bookcase and saw a mouse. It was happy and calmly climbing all over my bookcase. As I was going to get Dh and go get all the traps they had at the store I told Samara she was a disgrace to cathood. Where is the peppermint. .

I was fine untill about 10am today. I don't know why but all of a sudden that song popped into my head, I hope you had a great time.

http://healthyliving.msn.com/diseases/cancer/test-all-baby-boomers-for-hepatitis-c-cdc-1 Test All Baby Boomers For Hepatitis C: CDC Most people who are infected don't know it, agency noted.By Steven Reinberg HealthDay Reporter [/url] THURSDAY, Aug. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Every American born between 1945 and 1965 should be tested for the liver-destroying virus hepatitis C, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Thursday. One in 30 Baby Boomers is infected with the virus and most don't know it. Hepatitis C is a leading cause of liver cancer and other liver diseases, and is the leading cause of liver transplants, the CDC said. "And deaths from hepatitis C have nearly doubled over the past decade," CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said during an afternoon news conference. "Unless we take action now, deaths will increase substantially in the coming years." Baby boomers are five times more likely to have hepatitis C than other adult Americans, Frieden said. So, the CDC is now recommending one-time testing for hepatitis C for everyone in the country born between 1945 and 1965, he said. All those who test positive for the virus should receive a brief alcohol screening and intervention and be referred to appropriate care and treatment services. Alcohol use has been shown to accelerate the progression of liver disease, the agency added. Until now, the recommendation had been for testing only those at risk. "But that approach missed far too many infections," Frieden explained. These new recommendations take into account that more than 2 million Baby Boomers are infected with hepatitis C, accounting for more than 75 percent of all American adults living with the disease. Many Baby Boomers were infected years ago and don't consider themselves at risk, so they've never been screened, Frieden noted. Hepatitis C is a "silent killer," living in the liver for years while slowly destroying it, Dr. John Ward, director of the division of viral hepatitis at the CDC, said during the news conference. Hepatitis C is spread through organ transplants, injected drug use and once even through blood transfusions and sexual contact, he said. "Testing of Baby Boomers is essential to prevent unnecessary suffering and death from this devastating disease, and to reduce the burden of hepatitis C on our nation's health-care system," Ward said. Each year, more than 15,000 Americans, most of them Baby Boomers, die from hepatitis C-related illness, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Deaths from the virus have been increasing for over a decade and are expected to increase in the coming years. Testing Baby Boomers could identify more than 800,000 people with hepatitis C, Frieden said. Identifying these people and linking them up with treatment could cure up to 75 percent of them. "Getting more people with hepatitis C into treatment could avoid 50,000 cases of liver cancer, nearly 200,000 cases of cirrhosis and more than 102,000 deaths," Ward said. Dr. Marc Siegel, an associate professor of medicine at New York University Langone Medical Center in New York City, said he supports the new recommendation. "Hepatitis C is a real killer. It leads to a lot of cirrhosis and liver failure and need for liver transplants. It's a subclinical infection and it's often missed until it's too late," he said. The final recommendations were published in the Aug. 17 issue the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. They were also published online Aug. 17 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

I want to try making my own vanilla and coffee creamer has anyone tried making them? The coffee creamer we are thinking about using at church. On the vanilla would you use vodka, Bourbon, brandy, or rum? I don't drink alcohol so I'm not sure what would be the differences between them. Recipes I thinking of using. http://farmwifeatmidlife.blogspot.com/2011/09/t-alk-about-putting-things-off-ive-had.html http://premeditatedleftovers.com/homemade-french-vanilla-creamer/ http://deliciouslyorganic.net/homemade-coffee-creamer/#s.aa7llissiayaa

I remember the excitment of getting a new house.

They are beautiful. Congratulations.

I took care of it last night and will work more on it today and there is a reason I won't let him wash my dish towels. MC your crock pots remind me of why I had to get a new toaster. A 4 year olds logic says that if a toaster toast bread it should toast marshmallows too.

OK, I'll admit it we wash my cast iron. Some how I just can't use a paper towel and wipe it out. When I do the dishes I make sure that my cast iron is heated, dry and oiled. I let it smoke a little. I don't have a problem cooking with them after cleaning them that way. After Dh does the dishes I go heat, dry and oil them. This time I missed doing that . He scrubbed them very well and just sat them on the stove really, really wet.

When we moved in 20 years ago the land around our house was farm land with a small airport on the next road south of my house. Open fields between me and the airport. There were 2 small housing additions down the road and around the corner. The houses on my road are on 1 or more acres. Someone built a house in the field next to my house. That new neighbor has the perfect lawn with all the chemicals that involves. the neighbor on my other side does the same thing to a slightly lesser degree. The airport has expanded. There are now factories in the once open field behind me. A house that was on 20 acres 2 houses from me was torn down and a factory was put on that land. They are still farming some of the land behind me but it's all for sale. Zoned M1. I'm getting more worried about what all the factories and perfect lawns are doing to my garden. How do we keep their chemicals and who knows what from our food? How close is to close?

At work they changed a process so we are working 12 hours a day to work the bugs out. Today was my turn to go home when 2nd shift started. As soon as I got home I had to take DD1 to work and Son to the bank. We went in to Goodwill and they had 40% off on clothes. Got Son some T shirts and DD2 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans. Was rushing to get DD1 form work, dropped DD2 and Son off on the way home only to find DD1 got a ride home from someone else. Took my shoes off got comfy and DD1 told me she need to pick up a prescription. Next month she gets her drivers license so she can do her own running. She will have to borrow my car.

One of the reasons I love You Yube is that I'm self - taught and don't read patterns well. I love doing the harder stiches and with videos like these I can do them. I can stop and review as often as I need to see it step by step. Last year I made the men rice bag that they could use as a hot of cold packs. This year I'm think about making the men a scarf using a basket weave stich. This guy explains it well. After Christmas I might try knitting. Than again after last time I tried Maybe not.

OK my question . I heard somewhere that if you heat vinegar too long while your canning canning pickles it will lose its acidity. Is that true?
