Let see go back far enough to the metal wash tubs in the day in front of the kitchen cook stove for warmth... Gosh did all that with only one cup in me

COFFEE ! Rough day so far. That expensive anniversary dinner messed my digestive system up big, and then I had to make an emergency visit to the veterinarian. Everything seems to be in order physically so I am having my first cup of the day. Good afternoon, Café.

Good morning everyone. Going to run to town today and see if u can get some cheap milk. Tried to make beeswax cloth last night, they turned out ok, but are tacky, something I am going to keep working at.

I think I posted an incomplete thought.

I meant to feed it to the chickens.

Ahh yes I think your right. I assumed you were talking about human consumption because I belong to a homesteading group on Facebook and many of them are DE as this fix all, they eat it, feed it to their animals, spread it all over their homes...i avoid the conversations, something just need to die out on their own[/QUOTE]

It has been several years but I had a time when the hens were laying a lot of eggs that would break easily. I mixed a litlle DE with their feed and the shell hardened up in a day. Now I have a better calcium that is more like grit. It works very well for egg shells.

I would not eat DE[/QUOTE]

Interesting idea adding DE to their food. But are now saying I should not do it?

I do feed oyster shells, though I am bad at filling the container.

I drink it mixed in water so do not chew it. It has a nutty taste to me though. It does not taste bad like say cod liver oil.

You can add flax powder--once again powder or ground because we do not digest the seeds--to yogurt or cereal. Added to home made bread too--not seeds like some store bread though.

That sounds interesting. Thanks.

Sorry for the rough start to your day Sour, hope all is better now!

Looking like a disc problem in his back, but we are not ruling out an acute case of Lyme disease. Drew blood for the Lyme and put him on Dexamethasone for possible back problem. I had some Prednisone here that I put him on last night to get him through the night. Get the Lyme results tomorrow. I'm almost hoping it is Lyme disease.
