So alfalfa or Timothy or Bermuda?

Orchard grass. They don't do well on high protein hay like alfalfa.

Pressure cooking or steaming them

Pressure cooking eggs? Never heard of that. How is it they don't explode?
I've heard to add salt also heard baking soda. Definitely older eggs.

My best trick for easy peeling eggs is, get an Easter Egger! I don't understand why, but those blue/green eggs slip right out of the shells almost without fail.

Depends on the hen!!! I have some EEs with easier to peel eggs and some harder. DD2 tells me which hens eggs to boil because some, even 2 weeks old, are harder to peel than others.

At the end of this visit I have Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, Gout, Serum negative RA and Ankylosing Spondylitis....but I'm not in bad shape for the shape I'm in and the PA described me as being a pretty healthy person all things considered....

We got home at 5 PM today @superchemicalgirl, you might want to go get the goats from the side of the interstate. We headed north to Rt 2 near Newport and didn't drive down your way

Just came back from the Rheumy. All of my labs came back normal which I guess is what they were looking for since they said it shows I'm responding to anti-inflammatory treatment. They still suspect gout though so they are starting me on Allopurinol, and sent me home with antibiotics and steroids for the tail end of the flu. I take the antibiotics now and save the steroids.

So I'm pretty happy. At the end of this visit I have Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, Gout, Serum negative RA and Ankylosing Spondylitis....but I'm not in bad shape for the shape I'm in and the PA described me as being a pretty healthy person all things considered....

Nice report!

@microchick do you know that you and Chick-N-Fun both have the same avatar. When I saw her post on the Badge thread I first thought you posted it because of the avatar.

Unfortunately the alpaca/llama area of BYH is very quiet. I think there are only 3 of us active members that have alpacas and no llamas.
