Quitting my TV news career has come with many benefits but perhaps none as important as how it has affected my ability to parent. My relationship with the Producer would have consisted of about an hour in the morning (stressed about what I’d cover that day) and an hour at night (still stressed about what went wrong with my report that day). I’ve started “Hold On to Your Kids” by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté and I highly recommend it. They describe the era since World War II as one where peers have taken over the role of parenting, calling it “peer orientation”. They write, “Orientation, the drive to get one’s bearings and become acquainted with one’s surroundings, is a fundamental human instinct and need. Disorientation is one of the least bearable of all psychological experiences. Attachment and orientation are inextricably intertwined. Humans and other creatures automatically orient themselves by seeking cues from those to whom they are attached.” This has also got me thinking about my pressing question about why so many journalists prefer group think over curiosity. Are we adults also suffering from “peer orientation”?
A couple months ago, I posted a video of saddles we put on the hens to protect them from the roosters. Did they work?
Our goats just love getting stuck! Also, what would you do about this BIG question we have?! This video was filmed before Heidi had her last set of kids (the live birth we watched) but we have the same question today.

The media often reports that "doctors say" or "experts say" you shouldn't consume raw milk, and that it has no nutritional benefits compared to pasteurized milk. This is false. Dr. Leland Stillman describes the benefits of drinking raw milk.

@CriticalThought - When giving health advice to people, we may not know why they do the things they do and it may cause issues.
My naturopath had me stop eating before bed also, for that same reason as you suggested. I started getting sick every morning and getting headaches from too empty of a stomach. She had me eat a small amount of protein right as I head to bed and the problem has been solved.
Milk would work for this also. Probably why a lot of old timers drank it before bed.
But when it was the Christian baker. MAGAville cried for "freedom" and "liberty". I don't support setting up Christians for a fall. But, as the saying goes. Ya can't have it both ways....
