My leukemia's back.

It's a sugar thing.. I think...not diabetes, but I have Hypoglycemia. It's weird what I can eat, or not eat. But I know!

Bummer. I was hoping you were going to say gluten and I was going to point you to Kinnikinnick's Pancake and Waffle mix (crepes too, just changes the amount of oil and eggs). It is quite good. Glutino makes a "Fluffy pancake" mix that makes pancakes that are neither fluffy nor good. Whoever did the box "art" did it from their imagination, not from viewing the results of making the pancakes.

The most common place to stick a cart is in the handicapped parking spaces - ask me how many of them I've moved so I could park.

I've noticed that . . . maybe it's the handicapped people leaving them there?

I had wanted to make green egg layers.. but my three brown egg laying bantams are either 1. laying almost nothing (I have gotten 1 brown egg), or 2. have decided that cream is the new brown.

Seriously... which hen is laying the cream eggs?

I dunno who is laying the cream egg, but a light coating of brown over blue is a very pretty, delicate shade of green.

Every few years, I go to visit family in Zephyrhills.

I used to have family in Zephyrhills . . . what are the odds?

turn them into a flower bed.

I had considered planting some vining flowers on them. The trick would be to find a non invasive plant. It would NOT BE morning glory!!! Right now, there are raspberry canes growing on the top of one of the piles. These piles are about 10' high and 20 - 30' long. We have sawed some of the larger logs out to put in the HK, but it's a mess to get to, and there is poison ivy creeping around here and there at the base. That also makes the idea of burning them a no go.

true... but I worry that if it is too little brown on the blue... that I won't be able to tell the difference between them and the purebred eggs

Hypoglycemia is often a prediabetic condition.

Yep. My mother got it towards the last year of her life.

DANG! Little choice but to use roundup or some other nasty chemical to get rid of the poison ivy?? Too bad chucks don't eat poison ivy, at least then they would be of some little use.

I'd rather let those piles slowly rot into the ground than use round up. I feel that strongly about it's use. I'll continue to use the chainsaw as strength and motivation allows to break up the big chunks. Or, some day, G. and I may hire some heavy equipment to come and doze them... of course, that would just move the mess from one place to an other.

Farmers Almanac:

Here are some non-chemical methods you might try to remove poison ivy from your property:

• Remove the entire plant — leaves, stems and root. You have to be sure to get it all. And, wear long pants, long sleeved shirts and thick gloves – plastic or heavy cotton. Be sure to wash all clothing afterward.
• Put the entire plant in a plastic bag and dispose of it.
• Make a mixture of 1 cup of salt, 1 gallon of vinegar and 8 drops of liquid dish soap. Combine the salt and vinegar in a pan and heat to dissolve the salt. Allow it to cool, then add the liquid detergent and put the mixture in a spray bottle. You can spray the poison ivy or pour it directly on the plant. This will kill all vegetation, so be sure to only apply it to the poison ivy.
• Some have claimed that pouring bleach on the plant will have the same effect, however, this classifies as a chemical method.
• If you happen to have a goat or cow handy, they just love to eat it — without any side effects!
• Another technique to clear the area of poison ivy is by planting grass seed. Ivy will not grow where there is a lawn. I tried this at my cottage and it worked. The only downside is that it takes time, but, once you have grass, you won’t have poison ivy.

I like the goat option! You need a goat!

And like chickens, you can't have JUST one goat...get yourself 4 or 6 of them LG
