Linda, two things in response to your thread.
Point #1 there are going to be good apples and bad apples in every bunch no matter what bunch you are talking about.
Point #2: Where are the accompaning pictures? I thought we made it abundantly clear that you are to document the activities especially since we know you can use your camera now that it "speaks" to you in English.

I agree - I posted pics of my square pond so the ducks can swim in squares - where is your round pond???

stop trying to make the pictures perfect - are you presenting evidence or going for a magazine shoot??

LOL

Hurry Please

X's 3! But, I will add a cherry on top of the Please, if you hurry.

Alrighty then. My property is terraced, so the lumber had to be unloaded on the level where we could drag the boards to the construction location. Here are some shots to set the scene:

This is where we stopped yesterday. The geese were NOT happy to be deprived of their stock tank.

........

And for those who wondered/asked, this is the expanded metal Wildlife Escape Ramp which was in the stock tank.



Now, these are photos of Punkin on her daily constitutional off the dog-bed nest. She beat out Samantha, my very first GrandChick and now a senior hen, for the spot.

Stupid place to lay eggs, but makes for easy gathering...

Ahhhhh now we can relax Linda.

Looks awesome so far!

such wonderful opinions.

I do not slag off farmers, beat on teachers, smack around cops.

Please give us medical people the same respect. Most of have good intentions ... and good ethics

Darn, you are missing out on alot of fun stuff I can see. esp love smacking cops. snickers.

come here Wisher and let me give ya a smack. (most old timers know what that means to us).

But on the subject. A good Dr hears what his patent says, will listen and go from there. A bad Dr will just ignore that person and try to do what they will. I have been lucky, all my Dr's know I research the heck out of a subject before I talk to them and then research the heck out of what they suggest. I have even talked a Dr out of telling patents to take Satins, after I found a natural way that worked... I love that woman. open minded and willing to let the patent try something else that may work. Basically, I distrust anyone who can get kickbacks from another company.

Now I guess you see why the devil kicked my butt out, I kept arguing with him....


You keep wondering Bunnylady, I like it that way...

 

[sourland]

Tick, howsabout sharing that natural way that works? Diet sure hasn't worked for me - statins have been my only resource - help me. Satan be durned!

ok

I dont think anyone meant this thread to go in this direction - especially me - sorry for being touchy on the ragging of a particular profession

But please let me say this.

I run, among other things, a cardiac program as a nurse that has moved up in hospital management.

Hospitals have seen a massive drop in heart surgeries (75%) and stents (60% drop) as well as heart attacks and heart disease in general over the last few years because of just one thing - statins. and now Lipitor is generic it will drop more.

While I am all for alternatives, until you have seen randomized double blind trials with 10 year follow-up that have a non-inferiority to statins - dont stop them - and if you are not on them - ask your doctor why not?

You can take anything else I have ever said here as fluff - but do research on this before you discount it.

I am not a big fan of most drugs that promise to help with a problem yet can cause other problems to happen.
Take the 30 second commercials were the first 10 seconds are what it does and then the last 20 seconds are all the possible side effects that can happen.



What I found out and use which as all commercials say.




This may not work for everyone but for me and others that My Dr has removed off satins to try this way due to bad side effects and/or cost is.....

drum roll.


tatatatatatatatat



A bowl of oatmeal and a tablespoon a day of Lecithin granules. Not the pill or capsule type which has other stuff in it but the pure granules which can be found at an GMC or other drug stores and online. the cost is approx $10 a pd. They add a nutty favor to the oatmeal. I also put it on cereal on those non oatmeal days and also eggs or a salad.



Now that being said, the granules are pure while the pills or capsules have added stuff that seems to delude it.

using that I went from 280 to 200 in 3 months. The big plus is no side effects and much, much cheaper than satins.

Now you still must keep active and don't eat tons of bad stuff. I eat anything i want, but not as much.


Fluff don't stuff. smiles.



Now the way I look at it, If I have a hear attack, I would have had it anyway and nothing a pill will do is going to make a difference except to cost me more money, possible cause side effects, limit what foods I eat and support a company that is in the business of making money first and foremost.

Now this may work or not. You have nothing to lose trying this way and possible save alot of money and painful side effects. and one last note, I get no KICKBACK for you using this product.




Nothing against you Oz, The Missus is a medical professorial and was hard to convince that pills will not help or cure everything just because a company told you so. Stats and results can and have been fudged before. really I just don't buy into a pills for life will let you live longer. it may help, it may not but that is not much of a life if you can not afford it or suffer worse things because of the side effects.... plus if they really worked, why do people still die while on them??? When it is your time, it is your time.....


again, you can take your satins or other pills and hope for no side effect or you can try other stuff. it's only your money and life....

Bottom line is do what you feel best doing, it's your life not anyoner elses....





ok, off the soap box and have given you what works for me...




mmmm, all the teens are now laying. yay!!!!!

 

[tick22]

mmm, those number 280 to 200 are my cholesterol numbers, not weight, sheesh...... Did you know that just maybe 5 years ago, ok now maybe 8, normal readings were up to 300 on the normal end but upper reaches of ok numbers?????

why did drug companies have the numbers lowered to 200 at the upper end of normal.
mmmmm, thousands of new costumers for life maybe.

just a thought.....

ok, subject dropped for me.

smiles.....

awesome spring day today, mid 70's, lots done.....

american college of cardiology says current target cholesterol of 130 is too high and we should aim for total cholesterol of 100 or even 80.

200 is a very old target

nuff about that

my scovies like their pond. cant wait for the pekins to hatch
