I find that if I skip or quit taking my Vit D supplement, I have that sort of problem. So if he's not already taking a sizeable amount of a good bioavailable D supplement, that would be one quick easy safe thing to try. Good luck, Pat

Hm! Do you recall what type store you bought it at? Not necessarily the name, but I am not even sure where to even start LOOKING for soemthing like that, except maybe in the locks/security aisle at Home Depot but our HD *never ever* has what i'm looking for. Pat

Huh, thnks for the encouragement to look into game cam systems more, they HAVE come down a lot more than I realized, at least in the States (and I will be visiting in a couple months so could get something then)... Already got a largeish dog. He is an indoor dog though, not much use for...

Yup! Or I don't get the blahs per se, but notice that I am making the same six things over and over and over again, and even if it doesn't bother ME I worry it may be stunting the childrens' tastebuds or something LOL Cures for me: a) leaf thru box of recipe cards to find things I've forgotten...

If you want to do it for your own use, sure no problem, as long as your needs suit what heritage crops/breeds are best suited for. If you want to do it to sell for profit, then a) you need to find out what your particular state laws are (they vary quite a lot -- are generally less-complicated...

we're out in farmland, there is no "random person walking by" :P anyone coming here would have come in a vehicle. Pat

I should clarify, I have no particular reason to believe this is *repeated* visits -- it could perfectly well have been just one person once. I don't inventory the garage every day, to put it very mildly LOL I like the game-cam idea, but for the same reason the front garage doors aren't going...

I had a new-in-box electric fence charger sitting around waiting to be installed for a long while, I know it was in the garage 5-6 weeks ago, but now it is gone, and I mean like "I have torn apart every room of every building on the property three times now" gone. (Had to replace it with one...

Huh? My point is simply that there is a vast difference in the LABOR usually available (these days, I mean) to deal with them. Presumably if the o.p. had a family full o' people clamoring "please can I scrub the deck some more", this thread would not exist :P (And there *are* real differences...

LOL, very well put, that's it exactly! :) KevsFarm, you must move in much posher circles than I do :P -- despite living in a fairly affluent area full o' big-city commuters with high paying jobs and overfancy homes, I have yet to see a mahogany or ipe' deck in person (they exist, of course...

I am curious what people are doing with these things that they find 'em hard to get cement out of -- you just tip it up as it's lying there on the ground or a plank, how easy is that? And I can't imagine what surface it would "roll all over the place" on with a load of cement in it. You get WAY...

Porch floors don't get NEAR the amount of weather damage that decks do. At least around the turn of the century (1900ish), the better-off portions of the middle class painted their porch floors every year (again, cheap plentiful labor was available to scrub/sand the wood down before...

Er, obviously not, but I thought we were talking about BACKYARD decks not ships decks. The age-old solution for ships' decks is almost totally irrelevant to BACKYARD decks (i.e. -- build of very very resistant wood, and apply nasty substances periodically by means of vast amounts of manual...

Hi there, welcome to the forum! I'm not quite an hour N of Toronto, but my husband was born in the Sault. <waving hi>, Pat

Well, for one thing decks are about 1,000 times more common now than they were thirty-plus years ago... (trying to think of anyone who had a deck when I was growing up in the 'burbs outside Philly in the late 60s and the 70s... totally failing to come up with a single example...) But, yeah...

What if you just wait to see what other berries are ripe and plentiful at the same time (or marooned in the freezer and really needing to get used up) and then mix them with the mulberries and ask your husband to taste it to see if he likes it; and if not then add more other berries. Or...

Wow, that is just too funny! Hunting the elusive morel... LOL Better block that whole area of parking lot off with sawhorses or such, so any otehrs that poke their noses up don't get squooshed! Congrats, you certainly have a weird life :lol:, Pat

Sure, knock yourself out. Just be aware that chickens differ in how much fish they can eat before their eggs start tasting weird... of course, if you do end up with some eggs too fishy-tasting for your preferences you can always just cook them and feed them back to the chickens. Good luck, have...

Non wool makes it tough (the usual thing would be to use knitted wool soaker pants -- the wool would not be directly against *that* much of the baby's skin, it might be worth trying at least?). Or if polarfleece is ok (I don't know whether that counts as plastic for you?) you could try making a...

Off the top of my head, racers and hognose both do the tail vibration (hognose are notorious for it, in fact, it is part of what makes them such good rattlesnake mimics) I'm not saying it couldn't have been a big copperhead, all I'm saying is that the tail rattle thing is not at all diagnostic Pat
