I have a sensitivity to wine for some reason. Allergy? Dunno.

Frankly, what SGC is going through at this point would call for a Rum and Coke moment IMHO.

Some people can't tolerate wine. I am not a big drinker, just have some occasionally. Last rum i had tasted medicinal.

I read somewhere that some grapes are covered in a fine naturally occurring fungus and some people are sensitive to it. I used to like a nice light late harvest wine but it's been ages since I've tried to drink wine. Once I had the adverse reaction to it, didn't want to go there again.

Some people can't tolerate red wine but are ok with white.

by the way @Latestarter all wine is red. Just sayin'

I confess (I prefer white wine )
Which is weird cause I prefer strong bitter beer. Maybe I just don't like wine?, but I do like wine even red, sometimes

Though I think? that white wine is actually made from purple/red grapes with the skins removed, not from white grapes? So, all wine IS actually red?

SCG, hope you get that furnace figured out!
Were supposed to be down in the lower teens Fri here, bet your getting a cold blast also. Stuff like that would blow me up, can't stand incompetence. Have you tried a local contractor? Sometimes the 'dumb guy's' are more informed/experienced than the 'professional's'

Just skimmed through the last hundreds of posts, corn was brought up, corn in winter, we get cold, not super duper cold but many weeks of zero F way below sometimes, months, weeks of -20 windchill. I don't feed any corn, 'scratch' or any 'treats'. Unless your buying corn free feed, I'm pretty sure most feeds are pretty heavy on it, so why add? All the birds we cull even in the dead of cold winter are....FAT...
I don't think they need more corn.
A little 'did you know'? Colored 'Indian'corn , certain varieties anyways has 2-3 times the protein and many more vitamins and minerals than the factory corn that is available?

pretty cool about Indian corn.

Kinda like those odd funky potatoes are better for you than the Irish potatoes. I think...

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

At this point I'm willing to become an hvac tech myself. I can't be as dumb as these people.

And our debt has significantly improved in the last 10 years. The only debt I have left is my mortgage, I did manage to pay off my student loans as soon as I possibly could. BF's been working on his house, student loans and vehicle.
