A little rant ...

[Dace]

It is "hikerchick" Dace... or are you teasing?

Ok clearly I am an idiot......I read her post about someone calling her biker chick ....and I was thinking is that so bad? To ride a motorcycle? I guess I got confused!

No problem! Nothing wrong with being a bikerchick- it's just that the person who used to call me that was trying to imply that because I am happily single, I am more manly than I should be.

Hmpf. I do have a chain saw and know how to use a gas powered log splitter - but still - I am feminine as a flower.

OK, how about bikerflower?

Sorry.....anywho, welcome!

This thread has taken on a life of its own but that OK, because it seems to have a very full and interesting life
After my DH's bout with cancer a few years ago the doctor recommended that he add Vit. D to the pills he takes every day. I have started to take some too. Interestingly, he doesn't have any problem with vitamins, only herbs.

Funny. I have never found echinicea helpful myself. I just gave up on it. I do recommend taking vitamin c to bowel tolerance if you are sick read about it here. www.vitamincfoundation.org put bowel tolerance in their search button.

also when sick you can take vitamin D3 50,000 IU , one pill 3xday for 3 days.
and yes, you read that right. 50,000 IU

If your husband has had cancer he should have a blood level up around 80 to 90 on the vitamin D3. Won't know unless you get tested

I like Biotech brand.

Well, thanks. NOw I realize I have totally hijacked this thread. OOps.

I wouldn't worry about that. You should see some of the threads here . . . they start reasonably enough . . . but usually end up somewhere completely different. I think there was one about butter that got way out of hand.

So ... now explain to me why your feeling so different.

Don't we ALL have chain saws and log splitters .... OH... that's right those "NORMAL" girls don't do this stuff do they!

Oh, man, I would LOVE to have a log splitter.

Personally, I have observed that women who are SS tend to have an admirable strength of character that is the epitome of womanhood (Proverbs 31, anyone?)

Oh, man, I would LOVE to have a log splitter.

This is the one we bought last year and it has worked like a charm. Swisher Manual Splitter Kept us in enough wood for a couple of days in about a half hours work. Plus it is CHEAP!

 

[big brown horse]

That is way cool farm fresh! Would an average gal like myself be able to split logs with that?

 

[Farmfresh]

An old fat gal with arthritis surely can!

You just load 'er up and move the handles back and forth ... like jacking up a car.

Do it enough and I might just lose a little weight as well!
