Is there a good thread on ways to store eggs?
Does anyone remember how long you dip eggs in boiling water (?seconds) so you can leave them out for a couple of months? I know remember reading about it years ago in some missionary journals.
@Akrnaf2You are good at research, do you know?

You can, pickel them, you can separate the album and the yolk and freeze it and l know that in the past they used to bury them in salt. Never try it myself!
 

This do wonders on the computer cables!
You pay for the Internet - stop to pay
You pay for its "smart" phone and its Internet package - stop to pay
You are paying for its clothing - no more brands!
Don't be so hopless! You press on his sensetive points until he understands that Commitments(=school, home chores, being a nice person) comes befor all the Privilege!!
You by low have to provide him, housing, food, clothing and you need to behave with him in a certain way. You need to remmber that preventing him access to the Internet is not child abuse!

Here's my 2 chicks! The one with the open navel has scabbed over but there is a piece of shell stuck to it. I guess I will just leave it there for now though, cause I don't want it to start bleeding again. They are hanging out in the brooder having snacks and water with vitamins.

Tomorrow they will go to the hens.
So Cute!! Congrats!!
 
She developed a fear of doctors after my mom (her Mawmaw) died. I can't say anything to make her feel better about doctors, I have tried everything!

Ohhhhh....I love cold brew! I like to keep a mason jar of cold brew in my fridge for my iced coffees.

Oh. I developed mine from too much testing. Needles and lots of them!

I'm not afraid of doctors; I just flat don't like them. Nobody wants, or knows how, to cure anything anymore; all they want to do is throw more prescriptions at you...more drugs. Then they give you even more drugs to counteract the side effects of the first ones. I'd sooner have a vet work on me; they're smarter 'cause they have more schooling, plus their patients can't tell them what their ailments are..they have to know! Besides who wants someone "practicing" on them?

Yup, right there with you. My mom is always complaining when we try to find natural cures and remedies instead of going to the doctor.

I would think that dipping them in boiling water would remove the protective bloom and partially start to cook the outer layer of the egg.
I think so too.
I have also heard of covering them with mineral oil to store.
Studies say that those old wives tales are wrong.
The most elaborate study I've seen is that the best way to preserve is to place unwashed eggs in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
They could last a couple months on the counter unrefrigerated but they need to be in a sealed container.
Here's the study. It was 20 batches of 36 eggs each.

DW & I both graduated from the public school system here in MD; supposedly one of the best in the nation in the 60's. Disabilities weren't understood then as well as now. As a result, she was deemed "retarded" (PC didn't exist then), and had to repeat 4th grade. She couldn't spell for crap; still can't. Turns out she wasn't retarded at all; she's dyslectic. Come to think about it, perhaps she was "mentally challenged" after all; she married me a month out of high school!

One of the smartest guys I know can't spell to save his soul.
It kind of drives me nuts but he's happy with how he rolls.

I'm a bit dyslexic, too... or lysdexic as I joke. LOL

Disabilities, still aren't fully understood, and it can be really hard to get services a kid need and it's a huge fight. There's not enough public funding available, and honestly, it costs me like 1000 a year to homeschool my two kids, or less. That includes all materials for the year, our monthly subscriptions to things like ABCmouse for my preschooler/toddler and field trips with the co-op.

They say it costs over 10k per student, in the public school system, and up to 150,000-250,000 for a special needs student.

Most poor schools cannot afford to provide the type of services needed, and big schools who can get the funding, don't want to deal with it because there's too many other students to worry about.

One of my nephews went to a school for kids who needed a different environment, and he thrived. But it was ALL kids like him who struggled in mainstream classrooms and he's in college now.

Where we used to live, in a big city TWO schools like that, in the entire state. My sister in law luckily, lived near one.

What's funny, is so many of these kids, who struggle in school, can go on to have huge successful careers.

My grandpa has ADD and had dyslexia, he struggled in school too - but he lived a nice, full life, and has a lot of interests in electronics, and cars. He had a career as a welder, and it made decent money until he retired.

These days, he mostly just hangs around fixing old cars. LOL
IMHO, our entire education system needs revamping or a complete overhaul.
It just isn't fair that American children get educations based on the wealth of the tax base in that school district.
Every child should have the same quality of education but that isn't the way our system works.
There are poor districts down in the Ozarks with little tax base and children don't have even the most basic education.
There are a few wealthy districts in St. Louis county where kids get world class educations. All the while, St. Louis city and East St. Louis along with poorer districts have been stripped of their accreditation.
The end result is that poor people's children get poorly educated. Wealthy people get well educated on our dime.

How do we continue to allow that to happen.



She sounds like quite the amazing woman!

We focus a lot on life skills, they don't teach simple things anymore, like balancing a check book, or mental math when grocery shopping. My husband is teaching the kids how an engine works, so when they learn to drive, they can check oil, figure out how to replace fluids and check them. My 5 year old helped her dad remodel a bathroom, including the plumbing, she learned how to use measuring to figure out how much flooring was needed, then the kids did the math to figure out how much it would cost at the hardware store to get enough flooring.

I love seeing them apply what they've learned day to day.
Life skills are wonderful things to teach.
I remember when my kids would ask for things and I would have to say no. But they didn't understand when I told them we couldn't afford it.
I discovered a way to teach them that. Each month, each child took turns paying bills and balancing the check book.
The most poignant event happened when my son, who was younger was writing checks and balancing the checkbook.
While working through the pile of bills and writing checks, there wasn't enough in the account to write the next check.
He said, "so what do I do now, put a negative in the balance"? I said, "No, you can't write the check until I deposit more money on payday.
After a couple months of that, they understood that there weren't unlimited funds available after mortgage, gas, electric, cable, phone, water, trash, sewer, life and car insurance, etc..

My husband and BIL don't know how to make a bed! I don't mean hospital corners even! Just putting on a bottom sheet, and spreading the top sheet and blankets out.
I had to teach my husband to plunge a toilet too!
That reminds me. I have to buy a plunger. I gave my son ours when he moved out last week.

Life skills like making a bed or preparing for toilet disasters should be learned early in life.
If one doesn't learn that stuff growing up at home, the army can teach those skills.

I just want to know my options. I need to be able to store some unrefrigerated to save for molt.
Good plan, it's awful buying eggs after doing all this work.
see above link.

I was (am!) too. But knowing it was just going to be a tongue depressor and thermometer made it okay.
I did, but it's been a year. I can't remember if I liked that recipe or another better.
The other was something like a can of sweet milk, a ton of cane sugar, vanilla, heavy cream, and the coffee is not brewed. It is ground coffee, soaked in cold water overnight.
Tongue depressors always made me gag.

This do wonders on the computer cables!

Or lock him in his room at night.
Or remove all toys from common space.

I don't go to doctors unless I need sutures or other surgery.
They are PRACTICING medicine and over medicate.
I'm mid 60s and haven't been to a doctor in 10 years or more.

One of my best friends is a doctor. He calls me a cave man.
