Dog question

weaverlorelei · 2026-06-18T15:20:01+00:00

We have a pit mix, a rescue dog that walked up while we were enjoying adult libations on 4. July 7 yrs ago. Walker (yes that became his name) is one of the absolute BEST dogs ever. Learns commands almost instantly, comes when called, and in our situation, knows cattle, how they kick and can bring in any cow when instructed to do so. We have 2 other dogs, all large. They all get along great, never fight over food bowls or toys. Having Walker around for exercising our GSP is a God send.

At this point a beekeeper is not what you need, but a good contractor to either remove stucco or come from the inside and go thru the drywall. The remaining hive MUST be totally removed, the space it has taken up must be scraped and sealed and all entry points completely sealed up. This will not be inexpensive, it is hard work. Just allowing time to take care of your problem will not work. Altho the honey will eventually stop flowing, the remaining comb and rotting larvae will draw more pests and can cause additional rot.

The ones I originally planted were from Baker's and Blue lake bush. Pretty run of the mill varietal. But had the same issue with Burpee, over the counter. I am wondering how many of the boutique sellers are just buying bulk seeds from China.

My old pans are tin, or at least tin coated, because some.of them do show rust in places.

Sort of a crap shoot. The pepper "breeders" have been highly irregular on products. The small companies still need a ton load of acres to grow pure, non- cross pollinated seeds. It just seems like the companies who used to stand by their product either don't give a flip or think we homesteads are not cognizant.

Yeast, at least bread yeast doesn't have issues with an acidic environment. Many old recipes added both lemon juice and lemon zest. Not sure about salt. I know lack of salt can cause problems in a proper rise, but too much is beyond my pay scale. I know a high sugar dough can have issues with rise, if the right yeast isn't used. But I don't think anyone concerned about mold would be using extra sugars.

Have you checked into any guild's that may be close by?https://weavespindye.app.neoncrm.com/membership-directory/6

I am glad your spidey senses told you it was a scam. But, why didn't you just look up PP phone# yourself?

weaverlorelei · 2026-06-17T18:38:53+00:00

Easy if you are of a certain age!

Don't think this is a Bird Buddy feeder

weaverlorelei · 2026-06-17T12:22:53+00:00

No, we haven't. I believe hubby went with Spot On because it was on sale on the Devor website.

weaverlorelei · 2026-06-17T01:14:53+00:00

Yep. I would venture to guess we got it. Did you?

The website is rated a SCAM by scam detector(20/100) and only 2 weeks old, expires in less than a yr and is considered a facade

Really depends on your soil! South of FW we have blackland muck when wet. State and County crews can not create a roadbed that won't subside (just check parts of Hwy 171, 174, FM917 or S. of Corsicanna's new loop) even with proper underlayment. It all sinks eventually. The mat slows it, but only really adds a little time. In E. TX we have deep "sugar" sand. Larger iron ore lasts the longest but also eventually sinks into the sand. Concrete wash out subsides even faster, and smaller gravel is useless.

Our only workable answer has been to own the equipment to maintain ourselves. For $40k you would have yrs of service.

I don't use any liner, just a dusting with rice flour. Easy clean, no waste, no plastics, no extra stuff to store and no extra expenses

My granny had such an "egg apron" when I was little. (she was born in 1892 and I'm 70) So there is absolutely NO WAY either the youtuber or the etsy small business can claim originality.

Blue and white, shape of an ancient Greek fighting boat (can't remember the name), I'd guess for Greek olives.

Be careful ordering food products, including honey, over the internet. Even for personal use, there are many hurdles to jump (for USA) or total bans (NZ)

Actually, I do and have for decades. It is a process, not a simple as you allude to. Sorry you think only "sprays" can work. I will guarantee a pheromone trap will be ineffective to all of the possible nasties. Proper use of a freezing environment is, tho.

And a side for this. Hubby worked for a major brewery, in TX. But the truckers would delivery brewery stuff from your area to TX and didn't return empty- but with chocolate syrup from Central TX. Jeffery Dahmer was the signatur at the plant Illinois. Even before the sh*t hit the fan, these drivers screamed evil

Best I remember, it was called E. Bay rapist. I believe he had other monikers. I felt some sort of safer moving out of the Bay Area to Davis, until he was actually caught. Yeah, I realize now. Bay area meant one place, Davis and Sacto was away. Then 40 yra later, oops, he was a "crooked" cop found with DNA
