➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

That is a bantam...but not Cochin. A Cochin has feathers on all toes except the back toe. And the tail is a cushion not pointed.

They were from a hatchery. Not sure what else they could be, but they were sweet birds and I'm glad they are going to be spoiled in their new home.

That’s pretty common knowledge. A moderate intensity and consistent exercise plan is great for blood pressure health, though genetics directs most of that too.

This is so sad but also literally so terrifying and disgusting. Please please be careful with these things if you use them and DO NOT USE TAP WATER!!

I agree that a saline solution or distilled water is the best way to use neti pots.

I guess you do not have sinus issues. For those of us that do, neti pots are a great relief. Better than being on antibiotics every other month. I agree that using distilled water is best.
FYI people have gotten the ameba from swimming in fresh water also

I wasn't talking about the neti pot being gross at all and I have actually considered using it myself recently. I was referring specifically to the brain eating bacteria and rather graphic description they gave in the article. Like the part about the golf ball size of bloody mush they found.

Yeah, I knew regular exercise was important but I didn't realize there was a test.

And yeah, I think it's probably the only way. Although now I am paranoid to use it at all.

I use one regularly. My doc said I don't have to use distilled water which makes it much more convenient as I can put in the saline packet and use the hot water in the shower to fill the bottle as opposed to filling the bottle, going to the kitchen to microwave it to get it warm but not too hot, then taking it to the shower. :|

Yeah, I forgot some come with packets. That's probably fine. Although I'd still be paranoid lol

doing it without the saline packets hurts! It's like pool water going up your nose. LOL

New poll idea?

 

[ShrekDawg]

Cats versus dogs

Just kidding, that's a rather simple and lame idea.

I gotta think of something good.
