Here is an angle I haven’t seen anywhere else. Pfizer (sponsor of the Oscars) has a new treatment for exactly the condition that got so much attention after Chris Rock’s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith - prompting Will Smith to slap him and scream threats. Do you think it was staged or real? And what about this guy’s take: coincidence, conspiracy or obvious? For me, the speculation around this once again reinforces my answer on a podcast yesterday, in which the host asked why I want to homestead: because I have come to realize that if I want to know something for sure, I need to see it outside my window and grow it with my own hands. “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.” (Shakespeare)
I never travel without hard-boiled eggs from our farm. I don’t care how many people stare at me. And yes, I also bring my own sea salt. I went to Colorado last weekend for my friend’s wedding and brought a whole lunchbox on the airplane. Some women bring a makeup bag. I bring sauerkraut.
I also never travel without the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. It comes in capsules that pack easily in your suitcase. It helps fill in the vitamin and omega 3 gap when I’m eating on the road. I also credit it with keeping my immune system strong. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at checkout. I take the gel normally but capsules are great for those who don’t like the taste or are traveling a lot. https://greenpasture.org/
Years ago I envisioned a life without daily poop patrol. I figured my kids would be out of diapers and I could say goodbye to the stink. I was wrong! Managing poop is a a big part of farming. It takes some learning but if you do it well, you can use it to your advantage.
One item I will never grow out of is the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture which keeps my bones strong for poop scooping and also saved my teeth from chronic cavities years ago. It’s packed with vitamins A,D & K along with omega 3s. You get 10% off at checkout with promo code “ALISON”. https://greenpasture.org/
What do you think? Does Hei Hei have repressed anger towards our other rooster, energizing his need to dominate us? Does he need a therapist? Or a crockpot?
Did you know that omega 3 fatty acids like DHA & EPA protect the brain from inflammation and help foster a healthy nervous system? Maybe Hei Hei needs some? I get a good daily dose from the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at check out.
