Chicken Stock/ Craft Stock for Nov. 8th Tractor Supply Milford NH

[Rhett&SarahsMom]

My dh thinks I am nuts when I give him a hard time about ordering or making 2 "starch" foods with lunch or dinner. But I had a nutritionist when I was pregnant.

I am screwed if I ever become a diabetic. I am allergic to the "current" manufactured insulin's out there. Found out the hard way.
I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes. Couldnt get it under control with diet. And I TRIED! So they put me on insulin shots at 7 months. Once a day, in the thigh. Good thing I have no issues with needles. I can now stick myself with no hesitation

Anyhow. The insulin injections werent helping either and I began feeling off. More than I already did that is. So they upped my dose. First night I took the higher amount I began getting incredibly strong contractions. when I went to my ob the next morning and told her she put me on the monitor and took some blood. She came back in and told me "No more insulin!" Just "watch your numbers and NEVER become a diabetic"

I still test daily. Even though I dont "have to" And since my heart attack last Feb. I check my bp daily as well. I changed my diet again after that scare. Am now on a blood thinner since my cardiologist says with my paternal family history(Grandparents - heart attacks and killing strokes in the 40's Dad with MS and killing stroke at 57)I am better off on it than off. Plus I bought a treadmill that I use. Not as often as I want to, but I still make it a point to walk as much as I can. Next year I am planning on exercising the horse more as well. Both he and I need it. Man the flab on us both!

My Mom also is insulin dependent diabetic. She has struggled for years....has a family history of it. She also has struggled for years with hypothyroidism...which usually goes hand in hand with diabetes. Just want folks to remember to see an endocrinologist...or internist who specializes. I am noticing that I have to watch it now too.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving....I made home made butter and will use the buttermilk for a wonderful buttermilk and grits soap. (-: I'm going to be opening my online store for orders sometime in the next few days so if you want to take advantage of the Grand Opening sale...PM me to add you to my email list! There will be a PROMOTIONAL code in the email...so HURRY!! Plus I've got a craft show next weekend and this stuff goes fast. SO private message me your email and I'll add you to the list!

Do NOT eat too much tomorrow!

Hi guys,
I am not sure if you have already spoken to the owner and have something in the works, but I noticed today that she posted in another thread that she is already planning a swap at her place in May.
So just wanted to see if that was something you were already aware of. Just wanted to let you know so that you were not counting on this place and could look somewhere else or if you wanted to offer our help to her in anyway.
Either way, this is a fabulous place and I am excited to visit there for a swap. Love the website.

Edited to add this blurb.
I am in Rochester NH. Anyone near me?? I will be having a chicken swap in may here at my kennel/farm. The date is not set yet but I will post as soon as a date is set. My website is www.countrybrookkennels.com . I have 50 chickens. Breeds include: rhode island reds, easter eggers,barred rocks, marans, Rare red shoulder yokohamas, and 9 different breeds of bantams. We are getting 100 hubbard Isa browns in the spring. Some for sale some to keep. we had 50 turkeys we processed yuck and sold. We did well and got tons of call backs on how good they were for the holiday. Busy now with our christmas tree sales then a nice break in january snowmobiling at our land in Rangeley Maine. January is a slow month for the kennel and my bartending jobs so we can play.Yay.

We can post it for the people who cant handle the thought that isnt a problem.


any one up to a swap in Jan?
TSC Milford has asked if it would be possable. told them I would see what the general concessus was.

feed back please.

EDTA:
The guy I have in mind for processing still has yet to go through the AG and state to get licensed so it will be a while before I can get anything like that set up.
not to worry I dont see it happening straight off as there is so much red tape to get through before license can be obbtained.

 

[Must Be Losing It]

January would work for me as long as its inside (like you didn't know that already) and it doesn't conflict with the event in Springfield which I believe is Jan 17 & 18th.

 

[UrbanMama]

I'd be up for it! I'll have lots of chickies to bring this time

 

[cheeptrick]

I'd come with my soaps...and I might get rid of a few chickens too. WE are getting a puppy....got to thin the hens! I'm getting a ton of eggs right now...about a dozen a day! I'm selling again....YEAH~!~

 

[gypsy2621]

Ok I will set it up with Ken.
It will definately be inside as I am NOT a cold weather fan lol.
Cheep ,-Rita wants at least 4 clean linen soaps. and there was a few others she wanted too but for the life of me , brain bubbles have set up housing and cant remember.

I will start a new thread with the date
17th and 18th are not good for me either so it will be either the week ahead or the week after.
