I have a mask and I know how to use it. Plus it's outdoors, so that helps.

I never slept at all last night. Feel like a pretzel. At one point my leg cramped up. People have been showing up all night. And naturally the animals are making a racket

 

[CapricornFarm]

Crazy busy! Selling well.

He’s four weeks tomorrow. We’re beginning the road trip puppymoon October 16th, should be picking him up the 22nd. Another two weeks or so and I should know which one I’m getting - puppy picking usually happens around the six week point.

Yes, I sold the Buff Laced pair of polish and the single rooster. Kind of muddy, 3.5" of rain on Thursday.

What do you put on your oatmeal to make it palatable? I like mine with a little real maple syrup, pecans, chopped dates or raisins, chopped bananas, and milk.

Brown sugar splenda and not much of it, sometimes blueberries or peaches. No milk

No, I usually buy my pasta. Bread though is all home made here and my one sugar fix besides the low fat icecream and granola bars. I have an Amish white sweet bread recipe that is fantastic.

I really wish I could get away from the sugars but we don't eat candy. Our favorite cakes are all from scratch and I only make them 3 or 4 times a year, one of them being a sour cream chocolate cake that you being PA/Dutch should recognize and start drooling at the mentioning of it.

I try to keep our serving sizes down. I eat mostly chicken and 93% lean ground beef and low fat pork loin once every two weeks. I love salmon burgers and love fish in general. For many years I ate no red meat at all but got bored with it after about 10 years.

As for UK health care, I like to say better the devil you know. I had an internet friend who lives in Ireland. We used to get on Yahoo chat at midnight when I was getting off work and she was getting up to get her family off for the day. One night she told me that she was going in that morning for a chest xray as she was afraid she had pneumonia. I told her good, she would know within 24 hours if she did or not and could begin an antibiotic. She said no, it would take over two weeks for her to get the results! I told her GAAAAAH she could be dead by then. She said yeah but it was the way healthcare worked there. She proceeded to tell me about her husband having Crohn's disease. He had about all of his large intestine removed and a colostomy done due to severe bleeding but they left the last few inches of colon and rectum intact but now that was bleeding and he was going to have to have surgery to remove that. When I asked her when that was going to happen she said she didn't know, that he was on a waiting list and they kept bumping him back due to people being worse off than he is. Once again that was how their health care worked. My remark was 'you call that working?'.

I could write another book on what is driving up the cost of health care in the US but won't. Working with my husband for almost 10 years was a real eye opener on how medicine in the US works and what is driving the cost of it sky high. I didn't see it while working clinical. We never dealt with any of the billing or insurances then but when you are a self employed medical professional you aren't really self employed but working for the insurance companies.

My favorite saying was, Insurance Companies, herd em all together and run em off a cliff.

Trust me. The cost of health care in America would change drastically for the better without them.

WOW 2 weeks is certainly a death sentence! holy crow!!! I make a choc cake with vinegar now, its better
