The Front Porch Swing

[chickenboy190]

Here's a recipe that works - dish soap, Hydrogen Peroxide, baking soda:

1 quart of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 cup of baking soda
1 to 2 teaspoons liquid soap
for very large pets one quart of tepid tap water may be added to enable complete coverage.

This REALLY works!!!! I've used it on my dog a couple times, but fortunately not too many! Hard to wash the inside of the nasal cavity, though.

Thanks! I'll try it!

Could you sub self-rising flour? Does anyone know the proportions of "rise" that go into self-rising flour?



You didn't have to roll in the creek did you?

No I didn't have do that lol.

Hello from Kentucky. It's awfully nice of you to invite all of us chicken keepers to your front porch for a relaxing time with conversation, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and sweet cakes. My state is famous for several things -horses, basketball (go big blue) ,bluegrass and bourbon. So, I'll be bring the Wild Turkey Bourbon to put a giggle in the day.;-)

Welcome to the Porch!

The more the merrier! KY, checkin in!

Howdy, neighbor!

Make yourself to home....

The hound was Copper. The fox was Todd.

Did you see "Hook"?


BANGARANG!

Yes! I'll imagine everything but the PlayDoh colored foods and drinks.....mah!

How's everyone doing on this fine day? I hope very well and staying warm

It's a sunny, cold day here with a light skiff of snow that fell in the night. Fine as frog hair split four ways!

Ah I just got sprayed by skunk

Now...you guys are going to find out something about me that you may find quite odd...but then, just about everything about me is a little different, so this should be no less. I LOVE the smell of skunk...always have. I read once on Ann Landers that there are whole factions of people out there who love the smell of skunk, so I'm not alone but maybe just one of the few that will admit it. To me skunk smell is the smell of spring and tidings of warmer days to come...just love that smell.

Thank you! It's been fun meeting everyone here!

Hopefully, I'll get some photos of my girls to share with everyone soon too.

I might have missed seeing you slide up on the porch, there Jetfox...my memory isn't what it used to be. If so, here's a hug of welcome to you!

That's funny. I think skunk in small doses from far away smells like excellent gourmet coffee. Closer up it's not so nice.

That's different. =) I never liked the smell myself though.

YES! That's the smell! I couldn't ever put my finger on it but it does smell a little like coffee and I love the smell of coffee too, but cannot stand the taste. But, even up close, I love the smell of skunk, though I'm sure I wouldn't like to be sprayed directly.

If you're starting with "self rising flour," just leave off the salt and the baking powder ... cuz that's what they put in "regular" flour to make it self rising.

My sister likes the smell of skunk... I don't mind it from afar, but upclose is another story!

I've been looking at seeds, and trying to plan out my garden. I was on a website and "shopping".... went to check out and had over $100 worth of seed! I think I need to rethink this! I am really wanting to plant and can a lot this year, but I don't want to get overwhelmed either since this is my first garden by myself! I've always helped out with my grandparent's HUGE garden, and reaped the benefits... but haven't done it by my lonesome....

I am definitely wanting tomatoes, potatoes, g.beans, squash, cucumbers, lettuces.... and I'm sure there is more....
What do you all suggest planting?

There are 6 of us, so it takes quite a bit to feed us anyway... Not sure how much of anything to plant either....

Sorry this is so rambly.... I'm thinking out loud.

I often think small doses of coffee aroma smells like skunk. On most people, Georgio perfume smells EXACTLY like skunk to me ... I could never figure out why it was so popular. I'm so happy the 80s are over.

LJ, you are such a hoot!!!

They may be over but I still have the hairdo.....I rather miss parts of the 80s but enjoyed the 70s WAY more...way more.
