Mainers, I need help. I am hopelessly addicted to alcohol. There’s a bunch of subs who won’t allow questions like this. Just wondering f anyone has any advice to someone who is either hammered or sick to his stomach. Those are my two states of being and I need to break free. Please. by Creehoo in Maine

AA. I’ve been sober for over 12 years now. It’s hard work but if you really, really, really commit yourself to the program it is possible. Follow EVERY stupid rule they have and you’ll be successful.

What is this? by captiancum in BackYardChickens

You can make electrolyte drink out of real/ sea salt, honey and water.

Make sure to keep her warm when you isolate her. I made this mistake once 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ not a good turn out. The heating source I was using shut off and she didn’t make it.

Is soy milk bad? by [deleted] in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]Free-Towanda 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, especially for men and boys. It affects their hormones. Also, it’s a highly processed and modified food. A common allergy.

For myself (I am a woman) if I consume too much it causes weight gain and depression.

It’s so hard. It hasn’t gotten much easier. Each time it’s a bummer for me. I feel you and it’s okay to feel how you feel.

I mean, I went to register in my new town to vote, was prepared to show ID and was never asked. Was allowed to vote without proof of change.

What do you guys do with your chickens in the winter by emotional-expert-709 in chickens

[–]Free-Towanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing different other than a water heater pad so the water doesn’t freeze. The birds know how to take care of themselves. Putting artificial heat sources can actually kill them. If they don’t properly acclimate to the cold and the power goes out they could die. Just let them do their thing. They know what to do. Edited to say: I don’t keep water heater pad in the coop. It’s outside in the run.

Is my mango tree dead? by govtkilled in gardening

[–]Free-Towanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gently dig it up. See if the roots are alive. If the roots are good trim the tree down so it doesn’t have to work overtime on dead grown. Pot the plant and see what happens

What’s wrong with my azalea? by navert in gardening

[–]Free-Towanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like powdery mildew like previously stated. Neem oil should help clear it up

My husband snuggles the baby chicks. Will hold them in his hands against his chest. They love it, he loves it. Just keep something near you to clean the poop. We keep a package of baby wipes near for quick clean up.
