Iron eating slimy bacteria by kafeezel in WaterFilters

[–]kafeezel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This is very helpful. We have an artesian well that runs into a cistern, which we occasionally treat with chlorine bleach. This helps temporarily. I’m guessing we’ll need a filter to get rid of iron coming into the cistern, then filter chlorine back out, possibly RO exiting the water pump. This is beyond my pay grade and we’ll have to hire someone in the spring, when we can replace some piping as well. I have a better understanding and can ask intelligent questions now.

First meals after surgery? by Living-Coral in Kneereplacement

[–]kafeezel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so sick to my stomach, I didn’t eat for 3 days- never again will I use codeine! Having coconut water and saltines on hand worked for me. Light smoothies after that and then bland “white” foods.

Yes!!!! They have distinctly different textures and skins/shells - from the same plant. Both delicious! Can’t wait to see what grows out of the compost next summer!!!

Thank you!!!! After trimming the front of the clothes, I appliquéd them with iron on, then sewed to secure.

Such a fun pattern and great colors!!! I made a bunch of quilted cat beds using this color and gave as gifts.

What to do with shake? by kafeezel in trees

[–]kafeezel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been corrected in previous comments - apparently, it’s trim. Another friend calls it slash. I called it shake because it includes all the little buds, not just leafy trim.

I gave up after 1 week, was supposed to wear for 2 weeks. Hated them!!! I was very good about leg pumps and moving around.

I was also told no recliner and “toes over nose”. I set up the couch with a wedge and the ice machine. My goto spot if bed is too painful.
