In my neck of the woods ranchers aren't taking their stock to auctions as the prices have dropped a lot and yet the meat packing plants are selling what they have for more...they are making the money so the ranchers are hanging on to the stock. I have a freezer full of beef from some we bought...

I am so sorry, what devastating news. I will be praying for comfort for your family. This separation during times of sickness is one of the hardest parts about this horrible disease. My nephew did not die from this but his memorial was to be today and we had to postpone it due to Covid. It is...

I had my niece-in-law in OR make me 4 masks and send them to us. I just didn't want to make any but I did make DH one. @Ridgetop there is a pattern on the web to make a mask that is double and has a pocket for a filter; that is what I made DH. You can put shop towels in the pocket or CDC...

Even the CDC is saying to wear a fabric mask if going out and they have patterns on their website for making them. While it may not be perfect it is better than nothing. I made one for my husband that has a pocket for an additional filter and the suggestion from the CDC for a filter is a coffee...

I think that the rapid rate of spread is one way to determine what a person is sick with. I don't see how anyone can not catch it if they live in the same house. But I might be wrong. There should be a antibodies test soon; looks like CDC just rolled it out.

My vet is having people pay with credit card over the phone and they are picking up the pet from the car and then holding the appointment via phone. No one other than staff is allowed inside at all.

We have had three cases in our county and one person has died. DH is working from home for the next three weeks and then he might have to go back. Depending on what is happening he may just quit the job. At least we both have our retirements so I won't be homeless. My anxiety level is pretty...

Some of the schools in CA are closed for the year.

Everyone at my place is ok, but DH is home from work. He is a diabetic with horrible allergies and a history of pneumonia so he stays home. Fortunately he is on administrative leave for now and we both get retirement too so not a financial crisis. I have access to hay so that is easy, and I...

I'm hanging in there, just trying to learn how to live with the new me. I have anxiety and depression that I have never had to deal with before and I find it very strange. My nephew passed away two weeks ago and we were to go to a memorial for him and visit with my sister and brother but now it...

The buyer of the dairy came today and took some of the equipment and the van. This makes it pretty real and no, I didn't get through the day without crying. It's hard to let go. So much has changed in my life and I feel pretty lost, just not sure what to do next.

I am not old enough for Medicare and Kaiser fills prescriptions too, no out of network coverage available. There are some prescriptions you can get to help with detoxing but there are also OTC supplements like activated charcoal and bentonite clay. The idea is to bind the toxins that are in my...

I have learned a bunch about mold in the last few months and I had no idea how damaging it could be. The mold spores actually release mycotoxins and that is what is dangerous and mycotoxins are also what can kill livestock that eat moldy feed. I got test results back for me yesterday and yes, I...

I have I have had a few absence seizures that I know of, that is how my husband and friend first identified that something was wrong. Now I just have very brief episodes of things not looking right or sounding right. I can't understand what is being said and if I am reading the words no...
