Okies in the BYC The Original

As long as the food has remained frozen, it is fine. It may deteriorate in taste because of freezer burn, but it is safe. It is refrigerated food that can develop toxins, as happened at BigOkie's house.

I'll bet I have some meat in there that has freezer burn for sure.

P&B,
you don't have a lifetime license you are required to buy a hunting license, a deer license (they don't call them tags any more) and a HIP permit.

As for rangers coming on your place, I was told at Jared's Certification class that if there is just cause they can enter your property without permission. That is just what one of the rangers told me but I don't know.

I also found out you are supposed to have a carcass permit for any meat or antlers you have no matter how many years ago they were killed. This is not something they check regularly.
But for instance if they were checking someone who had killed a deer illegally and found other antlers or mounts then they could also issue citations if you didn't have carcass permits for them.

Oh my! That is very scary! I am glad the doctor says she will be fine. Food poisoning might have been the worst thing I have gone through, not counting child birth (I even got sick right after that, but I think it was all the hormones or shock to the body and them sitting me up too fast with the bed. I had to tell them to stop and slowly raise up) Make sure they stay hydrated and eat lightly the next day or two.

The Jones auction was a zoo tonight. Since it was just before the holidays there was a lot of junk come into the ring and most stuff was selling low.

Got a Little Giant incubator, still air, electronic thermostat for 7 dollars and also bought a 3 point dirt scoop for a tractor in excellent shape for 65 dollars.

we didn't stay for the critters to go through, there were probably ten or more miniature horses and there were a lot of colts there. Maybe 20 goats but only a Boer buck that looked very good, the rest were those escape artist Pygmys.

Wow I did not know this. We bought our house from my in-laws and my Father in-law had all of these dead deer heads hanging in the loft. I finally said something a few months ago I casually asked him about them and he came a few days later and got all of them. There were at least 10, all had antlers and there were also just some antler too. I was glad, but now hearing this I am even happier.

They were kinda spooky. Some of them were skulls with the antlers, but some also had fur on them still and some in partial decay. Really really creepy!

Big Okie,I have had the gastric bypass and I lost 220 pounds and it was done over six years ago. And the most I gain back and lost again was 20 pounds. It saved my life. I would do it over again in a New-York minute. I think if you are thinking about this, here are some question you need to ask yourself.
Why do I need it?
What do I want to see come out of this?
Are you willing to follow through with what it takes to use this tool?
Why do I eat and when? Stress still starts me looking for chocolate. But now I eat a bite or two not the whole family size bag. I have learned it OK to eat a half of a kids burger and toss the rest in the trash. It was hard for me to learn that because my family were clean plate people.
It is a tool not the answer and you have to get your mind lined out that it a part of the journey not the total journey. I have a friend that had it done and hates it. She never lost but 50 pounds and she misses the food. She says food is her whole life and she wishes she never let her doctor talk her in it. So, think it through and make the choice for yourself not because someone else thinks it what you should do.
It means taking vitamins the rest of your life. Getting a B 12 shot once a month and some have to have them every other week, like I do. I would love to use the under your tong stiff but my body doesn't handle it right.
It means you work hard to get the protein in everyday and I am the worlds worst at not doing that. To me eating just a job now and there days I don't eat and that bad. I mean eating small small amount several times a day. I am lucky I have not strecthed out my pouch it's still 4 ounce.
But I would not be here if I had not done it. The doctor told Don I had two years to live. T hey were standing outside my CCU room at the time. I was in ICU or CCU every three months at that time. I had CHF stage 5, I was on 14 medicines. Now my CHF is a 1 and I take 2 pills plus vitamins. I am out of my wheelchair and can chase my grand kids so I think if it what you want done, it's a great tool. And if my CHF gets worse I have at least had these years to do things I want to do. Like running,horseback riding and my next thing is Skydiving.
But please research it,talk to others that had it done and pray about it. If I can answer any question you have just PM me so I don't bore others. I have a couple of on line site that might help you and I belong to a wonderful support group.
