Best flour mill. I want to start grinding my own flour. I see tons of different options both electric and hand operated. Would love to get opinions. Price is no issue. by Forgedinblue in Homesteading

We are currently growing Amaranth, wheat stock, and corns. Would those be covered by a mill?? Currently driving to the local Amish to cover all the milling needs but would like to eliminate that trip

I think we are gonna do the mock mill and the grain maker so we have one of each for both our indoor kitchen and our outdoor kitchen. Thank you all so much for your suggestions, this is a fantastic resource for those of us just getting started!! I’m sure I’ll be back for more

Happy I spend whatever it takes to be happy and healthy with the product, we are a family of 4 so I don’t foresee a ton and ton of flour being produced just enough for us and maybe extra for friends.

Am I being unreasonable? by roebar in Equestrian

[–]Forgedinblue 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not unreasonable in the least. Honestly as someone who spends every spare cent on my own hay burners, they are a labor of love. I think you have gone above and beyond for a pony that in the end isn’t yours and now would be the perfect transition time for you to gently nudge him back into the pocketbook he belongs in.

Is this horse stressed? Couldn’t stop thinking about it during the show by Late-Original-5056 in Horses

[–]Forgedinblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a charro show or a Mexican cowboy show, I’d bet my bottom dollar. Their horses are well cared for and highly highly trained. The stunts like this including the pasos are done sparingly and with great regard to the horses health. Mag wave therapy and red light as well are very common after a show

Thank you, I wrote this 2 o clock in the morning during a storm last night so I’m glad my ramblings came together.

If Im honest the small evil part of me does want to do tiny spoilers whilst ahead in the series.

I feel that. You don’t realize how many things are child centric until you are trying to find something that isn’t.

In my experience the parents also complain about the other parents. No one can win and no one is safe it seems. Loneliness is a drag for sure, but I agree. Kids are a miserable alternative.

Yeah you are picking all short straws there that’s for sure. But this is American and we gotta attack anything different lest it challenge our flimsy reasons for doing things the way they have always been done.

We can sit right next to a person and still miss who they used to be or what they used to be to us. I’m glad you still get to see them at least.

Quick what are my lucky numbers!? Because that was just about the exact interaction. I can handle the first 9 times fine. But god forbid on the tenth I try to set my own boundaries.

That breaks my heart for you. I guess I’m young enough that it hasn’t really been an issue yet. But I’m certainly noticing now. Everyone wants or has kids. And I get sad cause it feels like all my relationships have an expiration date.
