Prayers for your Dad and your family too.

@Alaskan, How are you after the large earthquake that I have heard hit up there?

Mom didn't mind cherry picking. No chiggers! Just the occassional tick. We took our 6' step ladders and picked wherever we found permission. IN has 'em.

No Bay, my Mom just did straight up elderberry with sugar and cornstarch. When it came to berries, she sent my Dad and me out. She got in chiggers real bad one time and got scared off. Haha I didn't know abt the toxins involved in the stems and elderberries. I just know she knew how to prepare...

Best pie ever from elderberry. Mom used to have Dad go pick raspberries/blackberries or cut off sprigs of elderberries. It wasn't just the great amount of sugar used to make it sweet, it has such a unique taste. Haven't had it in probably 20 years.

There's a certification here in Indiana through the county or maybe a permit to sell eggs at farmer's markets and stuff. I asked a lady at church that's been on a farm her whole life what it involved if there were tests or inspections. She said there used to be but not now. I am not sure what...

Joe, I was advised to go on Keto or low carb diet to help with my BP. I am abt 50# over what is healthy. When I began to follow the diet, my inflammation decreased real quick. Green tea supposed to be good for inflammation too, and probiotics can help with better digestion along with plenty of...

I'm curious too. What's npip?

Have you had the MRI yet, and if so how did it go?

I have no idea how my wife recovered from 2 cesareans. In 2014 when I had inguinal hernia repair, I had 2 separate 4" incisions that burned like fire when I moved or coughed. They called it the closest equivalent of a guy havibg a c-section. But Jill's was side to side!

Still doing pretty good. Used some ice 30min on, 30min off yesterday and today some. Been able to cut the pain meds dosage by half of their recommendations too. Fed the rabbits today, but didn't have to lift much of nothing. So far so good.

Myself and the wife can do a meal with a couple patties left over. The boys don't like fish much. I usually go with mackerel unless the salmon is on sale.

Welcome to BYH from the Hoosier state! :frow

I like to open a can of salmon/mackerel and make pattieso_O

@Bunnylady, I can't even imagine the time it took you to write/think this all out. Remarkable

I am back home! I did not have nausea this time and that is great! It was a lot less time under anesthesia this time, so probably helped a lot. And, they put a nausea patch behind my ear and ran something through the IV too. It was a bearable ride home. Few days and be mostly back to "normal"...

Today is The Day. Minor surgery today at 10:30 EDST. Small incision over hernia sight, just left of center abt 4" above naval. Supposed to be back and at it in a few days and only 4 weeks weight restriction. Got everything done up to this point I can think to do to be ready or make it easier for...

Yah I imagine. I don't know how parents juggle summer break and work and snow days and work or a student's sick day and work, etc. My mother was a stay at home mom. My wife is too, and I have the office across the drive in the church, but with Wi-Fi, tablets, and laptops, I can work in the...

Theae guys get a Fall Break of abt a week that we probably got a day off for. It was probably midterm and we had parent-teacher conference on Thursday night. Then, the following day off but grounded as a result of conference. :lol: They get extra week at Spring break and abt two weeks at...

We're pretty close to a balanced school year that gives 8 weeks for summer, and more frequent and extended breaks throughout the year. I think it's ok because kids need to learn they don't get summers off when they get out of school.
