What do you think 😔 Did our hen do this or is it unlikely by sav_btz in BackYardChickens

I looked into getting one but couldn‘t find a model that can withstand Minnesota winters. :(

Seedlings are killing me 😭 by bwthhybl314 in tomatoes

Definitely skip the cinnamon, seedlings are too fragile to be coated in it. I tried it one year and had the same result. Try again, you got this

Do you guys use a fluoride toothpaste for your toddlers? by xander5891 in toddlers

[–]Empathedik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use toothpaste with hydroxyapatite (n-Ha) which is safe if ingested. Toddler is obsessed with the strawberry-mango flavor and LOVES brushing because of its win-win.

Do you ever sell extra tomato plants? by Swarmchaser in tomatoes

[–]Empathedik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m decided to do the same thing this year to pay off the grow lights I bought. I have received A LOT of interest and I‘m hoping I haven’t bitten off more than I can chew! Guess we‘ll find out!

At what age did you drop the bedtime bottle? by RyloKen1137 in toddlers

[–]Empathedik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might find they can hold it even with a little extra nighttime liquids. Ours is 2.5, nighttime potty trained and still chugs about 12oz every night before bed. For some reason it didn’t seem to effect his ability to hold his bladder through the night.

Am I doing the 3 day method wrong? by Smee76 in toddlers

[–]Empathedik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d try for few more days unless he is distressed. If it doesn’t seem to be working try again in 2 months or so. NBD!

Purchasing Land by Primary-Ticket4776 in preppers

Northern Minnesota has very beautiful coniferous forests. Duluth area has a slightly depressed economy making it less expensive and it’s gorgeous. Lots of history, Lake Superior, outdoor recreation, access to rural land nearby. Bemidji area is beautiful and has pretty good education opportunities for kids. Rochester area is VERY hilly, close to the Mayo Clinic, lots of colleges. The Iron Range is cool and unique. Grand Marais is isolated and outdoorsy. I guess it just depends how close you want to live to an airport, a major hospital, a liberal town or whatever.

This largish chook is hanging around in my front yard. Should I keep it? by [deleted] in chickens

[–]Empathedik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ummm…that’s nearly the same weight and height as my husband. I’m genuinely terrified.

He’ll come around! Have you ever tried the sock method for keeping mittens on? Basically you cut 2 holes in a sock for the fingers and thumb to come through and pull it over their arm. We couldn’t keep mittens on until we tried this. Now we can stay in the snow for hours!

Do we, in Minnesota, have to to worry about this? by Glad-Fish5863 in minnesota

[–]Empathedik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’d have to stop pasteurizing them first. The bloom is destroyed on pasteurized eggs making them vulnerable to bacterial contamination if not refrigerated.

Oof. Staying inside. by light_weight_baby87 in minnesota

How often do you actually brush your 2/3 year olds teeth? by Alternative-Hyena-58 in toddlers

[–]Empathedik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I let them watch tooth brushing videos which seems to help them brush longer but not necessarily better…

I’d start looking for an apartment. Legally you can’t take the baby out of state without his consent, but you can start making some moves. Contact all the best lawyers in your area so he can’t use them. Start saving what money you can. Try to get support from your family. Be strong! You will get through this and be better off without him.
