The Old Folks Home

[Alaskan]

Well at least the overflow I'm emptying a few times a day is water, not poo. Thanks for the reality check, Al.

yeah....waves of poo, inside the house, is bad. At least it was only my house poo.

I had a friend that at one point lived in Nome. At their house they only had a holding tank for septic that was pumped out once a week. One week, when the mostly full truck came to pump them out...the guy manning the truck hit the wrong switch.....and dumped the entire contents of his truck INTO their tank. Other people's poo was shooting out of the toilets in gysers.

By the time they got the truck guy to stop shooting poo into their house...the house had 4 inches of poo.

I like a good merlot. DH likes a pinot noir, but I think it's dry and not enough body (to me it seems kind of watered down, whereas merlot is like a nice juice. Cabs are just raspy to me)

my fave is Chatea Neuf de Pape (did I spell that right?)

Cannot imagine poo flying out of toilets!

I just read this to DH. He said he'd have to leave right there and never go back.

yep. I always do two of whatever (if I need 2 I start 4) "just in case". I prefer to do mine in water but if you want to stick them straight into the dirt pick up some rooting compound.

I have rooting compound! However it'll likely be too old. But I can buy some more or do the water rooting. I've done both. I always loved house plants and wanted a lot. But I think I overshot a comfortable number when I hit 210+ houseplants. I have one now. I'd prefer to grow something I can eat if possible. Probably makes a bit more sense.

Good grief!



super funny



oooooooh, central Florida huh???



That has frustrated me no end!!! I keep leaving things out for the cleaning fairies to take care of, and yet they NEVER show up! !

I'm glad to hear it's not just mine slacking.

I have seen you tube videos of this!
Disgusting for sure

And I'd assume it wouldn't be considered safe...more of a bio hazard wouldn't it? Can't imagine other peoples poo 4 inches thick on my floor.

If so, I know where I can get that REAL cheap.[/QUOTE]

@chickadoodles, are you referring to the big bag food that you buy to feed fish in a large pond?

If so, I know where I can get that REAL cheap.

Yes that's the one.

I would have had to leave and not come back till they had the bio hazard crew clean the entire HOUSE!

We have neighbours who plant feed corn and leave it standing for their cattle herd. The herd grazes it until spring. When most of it's gone, they start to feed their cattle.

There was a lady who lived not far from here who had chickens. Our cousins rented their land and they'd get oats from us for her chickens. That's all her chickens got were oats. This was in 2010-2013 and I didn't have chickens yet so I never really thought about it. Now I often wonder how they did on oats. My chickens won't even look at oats. Or barley. Part of our mill extends into the building where the roosters are. The mills spits out oats and barley. The roosters could care less...lol.

I'm still honing my feeding; I still feed 21% chick starter free choice (no flock raiser here) They still mostly get grain though that we've grown...red prosso millet and now the wheat we harvested this fall (high protein winter wheat) that they eat 3 grain/1 chick starter. And lots of raw eggs.

I just bought a bag of premix to mix off with the grain. I haven't cut the tag from the bag so I haven't sat down to figure out the mixing proportions yet. Something interesting and new from that feed store...they wanted to know whether it was for laying chickens etc etc...and I seem to be unique in case with using chick starter for my chickens and I'm used to the strange looks. No one understands the idea of starter and the raw eggs. Anyways they said NO! don't use oyster shell...it's not as accurate to supply calcium... mix with feed grade lime. Which is what I've been doing for the sheep for decades so it makes sense to me. However, I think I plan to give oyster on the side for the moment. I'm adding this to the grain because I seem to have the odd young chick start to have issues as soon as the days shorten. I've been researching rickets and such. I want to see if this makes a difference. I have trouble with my own skin with the lack of long daylight hours. Happens at the exact same time...lol.

I've talked in length with the mill's feed guy and my vet. Everyone's concerned with egg shell quality but I don't have any major issues with that. The only thing I'm seeing is the lack of daylight issues with a very few.

I don't think we can get any fishy stuff inland this far and cheap.

my friend has some pretty severe OCD. As in he runs through a bunch of hand sanitizer. It was difficult for him.

over 210 houseplants. wow. At one point I think I had 6 orchids (when I ived in Texas). I thought that was plenty.
