I think that sounds like a great idea! Hope he can pursue it with success! When you say local, do you mean WA or just around your town?

I have to try this,

I must warn you! You WILL get strange looks from the store workers! lol

Every time I ask at a new store, I get these goofy looks like I am insane. Then I have to explane the entire process, and why it works. lol Cracks me up. I miss the local pet shop that used to be here in town. They would save a weeks worth of poo for me then call me up. lol Feret poo is alot like cats poo...

It will last and be effective for 4-6 months so long as it doesnt get wet.

I can just see the faces here already!

Jbear, one place to start asking is the Extension Service; they may have some idea why there's not a Sumner Market already. The Sumner Chamber of Commerce might also be a good place to contact. And talking to managers of other new/smaller Markets could give him information about how to get started. I'm drawing a blank on the manager of the Lacey Community Market right now but I'll pm it to you when my daughter gets home.

Jbear,
Id bee happy to go to it and sell some of my stuff. I also have info on doing it or the people who can help you with it. I wanted to do one in Enumclaw but people keep telling me someone is doing it. Well years later it hasnt been started.

That would be me. Tomorrow is day 8, so I think I will candle tomorrow, or maby late tonight. Will I be able to tell those that are "good" from those that aren't by now? And I should toss those that are clear? I'm almost afraid to look as I am already super bumbed out about this entire ordeal. the seller did say she would send me more eggs for the cost of shipping, but I dont know if I want to have eggs shipped that far again.

Im gonna go watch some of those videos that were sudgested earlier. Hopefully I will have at least half that are good. But think that maby hoping for 15 out of 30 is a bit of a stretch with as bad as the eggs were.

32! Holy cow, you poor thing! thanks to 4321 I'm checking on Dr's today. The one I had down here moved.

I recommend googling Lynn Chadd. She has an office in Peshastin and also one up north. She specializes in hormones. After seeing her I had sent my BF there to have her fix his thyroid levels because the people at WVC wouldn't go above 120mg of synthetic and he finally feels normal at 175-200mg because she listened to his theory that if his thyroid was in overproduction before they killed it then his body is used to higher levels than what most people have so she went with it and he felt better...when doctors listen and are willing to work with you then things tends to work out better.... course the hormone imbalance brought out a latent bipolar disorder that is still trying to get control of. but at least he doesn't have muscle cramps or morning sickness anymore, and the migranes are gone.
She will do any test and if something looks off she will send you to a specialist for more testing and then require to see her more times till you are better.

at 21 i should have a stronger hormone drive but mine are flat lined. boyfriends hormones (like testosterone) tested at near 0. so she was amazed he could function any.
here is her link. she starts patients off with saliva testing for hormones and then does blood tests if something is off.

that just reminded me to have my bf call and get a new appointment to have her do a new workup on him cos he is doing better so i think it would be good to see how he is compared to when he first saw her 2 years ago.

Did they give you a reason as to why at your age your levels were so low? Stress? Illness? Just curious.

Hey those clouds need to know that we Chehalians are tired of being wrung out on!

LOL !!

it's the hills up Johnson Creek Road, at the dam at the headwaters of the Skookumchuck River, that seem to catch the rain -- of course then the river rises, comes down and floods everything ....

I used to try to call the "planted" turkeys up there, until we found out that the surrounding landowners were (quite illegally) feeding them on their own properties, to keep the turkeys off the public hunting area

fun to tromp the trails there, though, when hunting season isn't open

I know one thing is the birthcontrol pills pretty much killed it. Which is funny because you take the medicine to have fun without worries and it does helps in stabilizing hormones (making the time of the month less painful)... but I am sensitive to medicine I guess so now that i have been on the meds (3+ years) I have no interest. It was suggested to give me a low dose of testosterone to help...
I also have been sick a lot which created a cycle of depression-homesickness-stress-depression. removing my tonsils (which were infected/ rotten and crippling my immune system) in december i have been fine all semester only caught a cold once. and no sore throat. no tonsils= no tonsilitis.
I also noticed that on BC meds I cannot build muscle mass any and i found a recent study confirming what i thought.(it also doesn't help that i have an extremely high metabolism... if i miss a meal my body starts converting muscle and fat into energy, and doesn't help that Adderall also accelerates the metabolism too) Oh well choices in life are be a wimp or ruin my future. I am actually looking forward to the new medicine in trials now for men to tempoarily make them sterile, think male BC. I only think it is fair considering all us girls have to go through in life to stay healthy.... if guys had to go through the same kinds of tests they would demand a more painless way to test for many things. ex. mamograms. think a guy would be happy having his balls in a vice to xray their insides?

I am adopted but I have met my birth mother and I know I will not have any fertility issues if i wait till 30 something unless I am a mutant... she had 8 kids and I and another girl were the only 2 adopted out... but in total i have 10 brothers and sisters with 3 being brothers and one 2 "pure blood" sisters to me.

I'm prone to get bad weather from three different directions: the stuff that comes straight up the Puget-Willamette Trough on the due south wind and hits CR and Broodytood first, the really ugly storms from the southwest that come in the Chehalis Gap after washing CL and dumping most of their rain on the Bull Guy in Oakville (the only ones that get counted by the official weather station at the Olympia Airport) and the energetic and dangerous but brief squalls that blow in the Highway 8 gap, give The Evergreen State College 60 inches of rain a year and Kamilche snow when nobody else has it, and make it possible for me to get laundry dry on the line as long as I time things right. Kaneke, you and I (and Bolddog, I believe) share the not unmixed blessings of the Nisqually cold air flow, where air gets refrigerated by the glacier and spills out of the ravine at Yelm Prairie and down river from Allen Creek; when there's a forest fire on the Fort in summer it paints that pool of cold air (trapped by Johnsom Point , the Home Peninsula, and Anderson and Ketron Islands) in brown on satellite photos.

It's the latter, and long hard experience, that keep my family from planting our vegetable gardens before Memorial Day; the fact that my place is in a closed stagnant air basin that occassionally leaves frost on the grass in August is why I don't plant tender plants here.

Looking at the weather satellite just now it seems that the rain may at least be warmer today?

yes, I'm glad we're a little bit east of you (I was thinking we were north also but directions the roads go are a bit different here, we are actually straight east of Tumwater as the crow flies, so probably south of you instead)

since we're a hundred or more feet above the river, we don't get as much stagnant air, instead the cold air spills across our plateau and down to the river level valley -- and those hills five miles south of us, divert some of that Willamette trough blast ... we have native oaks here, which means it's drier --- usually 10* colder than Olympia in the winter and 10* hotter in the summer, and often clear when Oly is socked in with fog ... and frost in the mornings when no one else is affected

I am soooooooooooooooooooo excited!!! My Broody Blue Orp has hatched out one of her eggs!

It's a big blue ball of fluffiness!!!! This was from RedReiner's eggs and hopefully her big beautiful Blue Orp Roo Hoss that she had shipped from Julie/BamaChicken is the daddy!!!! I got 12 eggs from her, put 6 in the bator, and 6 under the broody, all 6 in the bator were clear so I wasn't expecting much! So very excited! I only saw it's little head sticking out once, than it snuck back under mom. I think there is only one under her, but I am so happy with that!

I also have 2 Serama chicks that hatched this morning and 3 more are pipped!!!!
