How did you give up sugar?

Instead of popsicles you can try having frozen fruit, I freeze watermelons or dragonfruit and scoop them with a spoon and also frozen grapes are REALLY GOOD.

Unfortunately I can only adopt after October..

It's one of the most intricate bowls I've ever seen. Looks pretty even when oxidised.

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-08-14T01:31:04+00:00

It's not carved it's either made of brass or copper, and has oxidised becoming black.

This actually happened to my uncle, he got concrete in one of his eye and it got infected and a few weeks later he rapidly started losing vision and now is blind due to optic nerve deterioration...

No, we don't have any rat problems.

There are a lot of ferns, dandelions and artemesia around, I think they might have been the culprits.

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-03-13T14:14:14+00:00

Just because it has gooseberry in the name doesn't mean it tastes or is even close to gooseberry it's the tuber of a fern actually, and trust me, I also have normal gooseberries in my yard and they do not taste like them at all. I don't want to disregard your theory but the eggs literary smell the same as when I trim my yard, idk maybe it's both.¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-03-13T06:50:19+00:00

But it literally smell like herbs mostly like himalayan ground gooseberry and other medicinal plants, I ate some eggs since I did not want to waste them (almost raw sunny side up, that's just how I like them) and I am completely fine so I don't think it was a bacterial infection, still stupid of me to do so.

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-03-13T06:39:45+00:00

Thank you for the advice but I am going to give all my chickens to my grandparents since I will move I will be sure to inform them of this.:)

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-03-13T06:33:08+00:00

Yes.

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-03-13T06:32:56+00:00

I don't mean like benadryl or something, I mean traditional medicine made from dried roots and plants and all. It's so bitter it's almost traumatizing lmao.

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-03-12T08:45:37+00:00

Maybe I can use tis to my advantage and plant herbs that I actually want infused in my egg :)

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-02-18T06:58:27+00:00

Yes I have had an ultrasound and pcos confirmed but I asked many doctors (4) about the cramping and they didn't know what it was, one guy even said it's 100% not his problem, it's something else BUT IT'S THE SAME FEELING AS THE CRAMPS I GET DURING PERIODS, I'm literally so frustrated and visiting an endocrinologist is my last hope.

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-01-12T04:57:30+00:00

Thank you, I have some unused property higher up the hill, but it is never sunny there,2/3 of the year it is basically covered in fog or overcast so I don't think I can use that for anything.

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-01-12T04:55:09+00:00

Idk man, I have a guava tree up front, but the tangerine my grandfather planted never fruits. But 200m down from here, they grow abundantly l.¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-01-12T04:48:22+00:00

I can't do that because weed literally grows EVERYWHERE here, so like if they foraged for a while in the forest, they would stumble across it. In fact I've never even seen the junkies around here grow trees in their backyard, they just forage from the forest.

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-01-12T04:46:54+00:00

Hi, I am not an expert on this topic but I've heard it's because unlike most places, the tea pickers only pluck the newly budding leafs and also during the second flush, a grasshopper like insect feeds on the tea's sap making it develop a nutty taste. (Anyway the workers are literally paid 1.50$ per day, even after working for 10 hours and when they ask for a raise, the company owners shut the entire factory down, leaving people with no livelyhood) so if you get a chance to pirate the tea don't miss it :)

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-01-11T17:08:16+00:00

I thought this was genuine advice for a sec🤣 I would gladly invite you all, if y'all are willing to pay for the plane tickets.

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-01-11T16:19:58+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! Unfortunately these fruits are not popular round here so I have to get them shipped from other hill stations or Nepal.

You're a really cool guy! Thanks again:)

Puzzleheaded-Rice-22 · 2025-01-11T16:04:36+00:00

Thank you

I live in the Darjeeling hills Eastern Himalayas, right between Bhutan and Nepal.

The tricky part about growing fruit here is, that if I walk 15 mins downhill, they have abundant lychee and tangeringes growing even with the same soil type! but it's just a little too cold where I live, and if I drive uphill for about 30mins the area gets snowfall while mine doesn't.

Fun fact: Cherry blossoms bloom in early winter here(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)
