I agree! DE doesn’t kill but it’s not a good idea to dust chickens in it like a cloud. When people see articles and things about how DE is not the safest, they say to themselves: OH SO IT KILLS THEM? And spews that all over the internet.

The bigger problem is that people think DE kills the pests.

ok I’m gonna break rules #1 and #4 now
whining because i should not have looked at the weather and wimped out this morning because while it’s still cloudy and gloomy etc, the “rain” was just light not the typical downpour

crybabying because we are resting and thinking of going back out this afternoon when my messenger goes off “we got one down this morning” which translates to “y’all gonna be home to skin it and process it for us”

The bigger problem is that people think DE exists.

Fixed it for ya....

Yes! I had someone link me to a channel called “Beckys Homestead” on youtube, and in the video I saw, she was all about using it for deworming

hate to break it to her but it doesn’t work that way

Don't even get me started on Becky.

I think that 5 is hyperbole. The narrator is exaggerating because they think that the dad drives fast. Simile requires like or as to be present.

The last two are from the same poem (I'm not that much of a nerd, I googled it cause I wanted to know if it was the same question), and it is a very alliterative poem, but I'll be damned if that particular line ain't a terrible example of it if it is. It's supposed to be conspicuous, like 'Sally sells seashells by the sea shore', and the only consonant repetition I can see is neighbors and none. But the first part is definitely hyperbole.

Dad drives fast LIKE a race car.

I don’t want to break the thread rules, but if I could, I’d have a lot to say about her

Dad drives fast LIKE a race car.

It could be “Dad drives as fast as a racer” or “Dads car is as fast as a racer’s while he drives” because “Dad drives fast like a race car” sounds like the race car drives itself

but I missed the whole conversation so I’m lost

The temp isn’t supposed to drop much. It will be okay. The wind picked up yesterday, but it brought the temp up. It was warmer at midnight-thirty than it was at 8. I’m indifferent I suppose.

Halfway through the plucking, the ice pellets turned into snowflakes. Looks like there is already a 1/2" accumulation.

The future guest of honor at someone's feast is currently relaxing in a salt water bath.

It is down to 31°F and still dropping.
