Rest is always good when one is sick.

So where are all the biscuit throwers tonight?

Jimi-it took me about 2 weeks to get over what I had. I still don't know if it was the flu but it was the worst shit I have ever experienced in a lifetime. It was worse than having my gallbladder removed.

And yes, Jimi, if you have the same malady that many of us have suffered, 2 wks is about the norm. Which is actually a week shorter than a similar flu i suffered in 1997. However, if any fever lingers past a week, it's a stupendous idea to visit a doc, because that probably indicates a secondary bacterial infection that needs antibiotics. I had that, and the antibiotics made me feel worse while taking them, but they did manage to fix me.

Do be careful with the type and process, however. Many fermentation techniques introduce fungal issues, which in turn, introduces mycotoxins, which are extremely harmful to your body (see the Path to Health stuff - oh, you can't - I deleted that from that other forum - but Crom made a CD for Jimi and if he kept it, he can make you one too).

This is what I have been saying since day one. This is clearly an engineered virus that either escaped the lab or was deliberately introduced to the public. Waaaay too many people are dying from it and the age groups are such that their immune systems should be in prime condition.

I agree 100% on that my friend this one is to unique.

Since I got up at the crack of dawn again I need to head out and visit a pillow. You guys have a great night!
I'll probably have dreams of making pickles now. I will have to check out a you tube or grab a book at the library.

We have some canned dill pickles that are about 8 years old and just starting to taste "off." I would like to come up with a process that will preserve for 20 years, and I don't mean military MREs - those things are full of crap that is very bad for you.

Can't wait until my love-shaq is finished in EC, where the temp is about 78 degrees year round. I'm building a huge solar dehydrator on the farm.

Yeah, my fever was delayed a bit too, about 24-36 hrs after I first noticed I was probably coming down with something -- I thought it was a cold. And my fever never did go nuts like my husband's did, shooting to 104F, but even 100.4 was enough to make me feel wretched. I stayed somewhere between 99.8 and 100.4 at first, then seemed to ease up, but never would go completely away... that, coupled with how short of breath I was, and I was starting to fear the infamous "walking pneumonia"... but my chest xray just showed a lot of congestion, my doc said, which seemed to him not pneumonia but bronchitis -- still bacterial, but not quite as dire.

Very few things get "fridge canned" around here. Lannie uses a pressure canner for most things.

Teddy is annoying me to go to bed, so I'm gonna follow the kitten's advice tonight and turn in. Talk to you guys more tomorrow. G'nite all.

Yeah there are three strains two are mutants of the first
With one you get sick feel like hell run a mild fever it settles into your shest
The second you develop a higher fever of 102 -104 degrees like you are going to die (some do) and have dizziness
The third is rare right now but is airborne and deadly

I just have to jump in here and clear up a couple of things. ;) Those old pickles (they're 13 years old now) don't taste "off," they're just mushy because I didn't use lime when I canned them. Without using the lime, they get mushy after a few years. Note to self: Do NOT can 50 quarts of dill pickles next time, just because you have the cukes. ;)

I did give a bunch of old (probably 10 years old) pressure-canned green beans to the chickens a couple years back because they had a weird, almost metallic aftertaste. It wasn't anything bad, the chickens ate them and didn't die or anything, but they didn't taste fresh anymore. I just hope the rabbits and the bugs let me get some more beans to can this year, because the only thing better than home-canned green beans is fresh steamed green beans. I would like some of both!

And I LOVE refrigerator pickles! There's not a thing wrong with making them that way, and those DO stay crisp. They say they'll last a year in the fridge, but ours lasted twice that long and were still good. (I made too many of those, too...) The only problem with those is you have to make them more often, and they take up space in the fridge, but they're VERY good!

I turned 55 on the 19th, so I guess I am an old fart.
Should I sign up for ARP?

Forget AARP. I just threw away yet another piece of their junk mail. When I was young, I learned they constantly use scare tactics to get more money once they get you on the hook.

Way back when I was, ummmm... 55? I signed on with those crooks for a three-year membership. Honestly, i never once found anything through AARP that I couldn't get cheaper or better quality doing it myself. They still, 14 years later, send me a couple pieces of junk mail every month trying to convince me to renew. Count up the postage they have used trying to get me back and see how much the other members are paying for them to try to convince me to renew. Not a chance!
