I spent $18k getting the foundation fixed and this vinyl flooring has needed replaced for about 10 years but, couldn't do it without doing foundation first. Restore has the laminate planking I want.

I need to redo kitchen and dining area floor if I every get TO the floor. so far oak framed sofa is standing on end in my beeshed. Gotta ship some sewing machines out somewhere.

I watered the front flower beds and pots and mixed succulent soil so I could repot some plants

I have 3 treadles to keep, and the first one I bought I will probably sell, just to get some of my money back out. It's cabinet is almost done, a little more shellac work and some buffing, it is sewing well, cleaned out the mess under the bobbin case, I've made a full size quilt on a treadle...

you can pick up these cabinets and quality vintage machines on Facebook marketplace very inexpensively. I needed to redo this cabinet, started hunting for one to put grandma's machine in, never found one, but I have bought a dozen or so sewing machines, many with cabinets, oiled, repaired and...

refinishing furniture and moving succulents.My grandmother's sewing machine cabinet, going to my daughter soon. at least one more stain run and a couple of coats of polyurethane. About to go to the gem & mineral show.

Went to remove bees, but all were dead. Woman had a pesticide person kill bees in her wall a couple of years ago. Apparently he left poison, probably sevin dust but who knows. Threw away my nuc box with all frames, sheet it was on, bee brush. there were a few living workers in the nuc...

Mowing. Again. expecting rain had to postpone job for today

I ended up in the hospital due to anemia I questioned in about 2016 or 2017, and my doctor told me to cook in cast iron and it would fix it. Eventually my platelets dropped to dangerous levels and I end up in hospital with a blood doctor who reads the low platelets but ignores the rest of the...

may know where some free bees are. I do have to gather them up and move into a hive. Fun times

I keep up a third of an acre and a 1955 house, but I hire help, need plenty of it. I do mow and I am digging a dry stream bed and will move the rock into it. but I hired out the back yard edging to my helper. The pond service I used to run almost solo, I now spend more time sitting down telling...

I haven't bought the farm yet, still stuck in the city for 2 more years. By the time I can afford to move I may not want a farm.

I turned 65 last Friday. I've been reducing tanks, no longer buy fish, sad that my 12 year old albino bn is a bachelor but not sad, as I am reducing tanks. I don't do the maintenance I should during pond season, but I still clean ponds for a living, leaning more heavily on my crew this year...

I think all his threads need to go in one forum in memorial, because he had so much and shared so generously

I have a couple of domains, which is why I don't use my domain emails, I use earthlink. Confusing to some but really confusing to spammers

May he rest in peace. Thank you @AbbeysDad for letting us know

Thank you. I actually did unsubscribe from some political ones that found me after I signed a petition and those seemed to work. However earthlink spamblocker lets me block 500 domains and boy that works

I've only been stung by one once, and she was in a plastic bag with some black parts and I picked up the bag not seeing her and got stung in the palm. Put bleach on the sting as quick as I could get in the house, one benadryl, no real swelling. Hurt like the dickens during the sting, but bleach...

thank you. I think the main thing I do is I quit buying fish so I don't introduce disease anymore. he did lose his mate this past winter I think. Have to take a rock and driftwood arrangement down to find her bones when I get time.

I am. thank you

his daughters are about 2 inches right now, he's a good solid 5 I think. I got a brownish pic a couple of days ago, but after pellets 2 days in a row I wasn't buying the starving fish act, maybe he gets tired, typically it's 9 or 10 pm when I see him brown

to deter carpenter bees - paint or seal all wood surfaces you don't want them in. Build with treated wood for things you will not be sealing or painting. I let them occupy the wood in the old back shed and the split rail fence but everything else is painted or sealed

No new bees, staying in Texas another year, real estate market is very competitive on the sell side right now. Platelets up to 72K. Formally fired doc this morning. Liver once a week, lots of B12 daily and a couple of methyl folate daily is doing the trick. Ya'll have a good one, going to clean...

I'm not worrying, but I think a little pleco pellet more often would help him. What do you think full breeding size is for a female bn?

it was evening. I'm not here to look much in daytime

He is all boy. His female died after I put the cave in I think. I have not been able to find a body, the guppies may have cleaned her up. That would be about October. The only females I have here are his daughters and they are a bit small for breeding, about 3 inches long. Lost my other adult...

tankmates about 10 small guppies. also been there forever, at least their parents were.

I have not been feeding pellets often enough and he latched onto that one when I dropped it. maybe he changes color when hungry, he is his normal pale pink self again this morning.

I haven't added anything to the tank in years. Undergravel filtration with a supplemental sponge filter for polishing, it's due for a water change, but that doesn't seem to be it, will see if I can find you some pictures. Of course I use chlorine remover. He mainly cleans the leaves and the...

he keeps turning brown. I gave him half a pleco pellet, seeing if he looks better tomorrow.

I learned a lot from Byron. My happy trilineatus corydoras have him to thank for their nice sand bed.

I will light a candle for him. He will be missed.

I'm not sure I can sell this house for enough to buy one without a mortgage, I can't find a decent company to take my accounts, my moving helper is having to stay here another year. And a friend of mine is trading a bee removal for some AMC Gremlin parts, giving me the bees. He lives too close...

Update in a new post.

When a fish lives an amazingly long life and passes, it's a moment to note.

I make turmeric paste for my dogs and I. and now I can take it, platelets up to 56K without meds, due to the iron absorption from eating liver. I was anemic. Anyway, yes turmeric paste is excellent for arthritis. My long running arthritis in my left knee disappeared after taking it for 3 weeks...

Platelets made it to 40K on Monday 3/25. Chicken livers and beef liver partly responsible. Also added an iron supplement to my methyl folate and methyl B12

One of my little cories has eroded whiskers I noticed, after I did about an 80% water change. I added some Fritz Zyme 7 bacteria and a pinch of salt, he's eating with the rest. Hope he does ok. Had to look my post up to see what went on at the beginning and what medicine I used, turned out to...
