I now remember why Jeepers had chaperones some of us along on previous Christmas trips to Indy. I'm glad everyone is home safely from their travels. for all those who dealt with losses this year and those facing sorrows as well.

Happy (belated) Birthday!

Bumping this up as I needed to print some more out.

Dogmom, I'm sorry for your loss.

Big Bird promotes COVID-19 vaccine for children on CNN https://www.theblaze.com/news/sesame-street-covid-vaccine-big-bird We watch very little tv. We gave up on the PBS kids shows a few years ago due to things that don't line up with our family's values. Even for the few things we watch, DH and I are very careful to quickly change the channel when commercials come on. There is just too much propaganda and unwholesomeness going on. I don't want DD exposed to that. Even when I was checking the weather forcast on the weather channel the other day, a commercial came on that was discussing "bent carrots", a problem some men have (I'm not discounting their problem, but really I don't want my kid seeing that).

I saw this article on Backwoodshome's site and thought of MrsS because I thought there was someone here that either did hydoponics or was looking into it. (Mother, was it you?) https://www.backwoodshome.com/secure-and-economical-livestock-feed/?mc_cid=681e2dab71&mc_eid=ade18f416b

Andrea!

The Survival Medicine Handbook 4th edition is available. They also have a version with color pictures, instead of black and white pictures. https://store.doomandbloom.net/the-survival-medicine-handbook-the-essential-guide-for-when-help-is-not-on-the-way-fourth-edition/

Miki, I'm glad to see you back here. Annarchy, for you all.

Anytime DD uses glue, I lay down an old opened-up and flattened cereal box. When she's all done, cereal box goes in the trash. So far, it's worked. We haven't gotten into paints, though.

Yesterday's Classics is having a 30% off sale on all PRINT books for the month of October. We have quite a few of their books on the shelves here. https://yesterdaysclassics.com/books/

Jeepers, for any future painting, look at no-VOC or low-VOC paints. Lowes and HD carry them, so I'd think painters would be aware of them if you wanted that option. That's what we have to use, and I still have problems (mostly breathing), but it is not as bad as with regular paint.

Joyfilled, I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

Midnightmom, YES! I completely agree with why the gov't schools aren't teaching it! (Literally, everyday I am so thankful that we homeschool ; DD will be learning cursive. Interestingly, in our history lessons we recently learned about William Tyndale. )

I store extra spices in one of those over-the-door-shoe organizer things. I picked one out with clear pockets.

Ann, I'm glad to see you back!

I don't know if she means my special diet or all the books.

MtRider, I'm sorry to hear about Koa. Praying for you and your DH as you grieve and deal with all these challenges.

Momo,

I used to know all this stuff, but can't remember right now. There's a connection with Vit D and vitamin K2. I forget exactly what....it could help with absorbing it or your body utilitizing it? There's supplements that contain both. Metagenics makes one.

Is Ann okay? I haven't seen her posting.

Homesteader, MtRider, would Koa go for ice cream?

Drive Thru History's special on 9/11 is free to watch:

Been for you all. Sam's is limiting the TP to 1 package per membership per day. Don't know if that is due to lower supply or increasing demand or ? It has been hot and very humid here. It will be awhile 'til we get that frost to take care of the goldenrod and ragweed.
