    Hypocrisy

    Buying massive amounts of foreign products took a long time to get to where it is now and IF things do turn back to buying American goods it will take many years. We turned to foreign products because everybody wants to save a dollar, so we got what we asked for. We Americans will just have to...

    Use hotshot on pregnant heifers/cows?

    I'm wondering if use of an electrical prod might adversely affect an embryo, fetus, or even a well developed unborn. Especially since we most always hit them in the hind leg to make them move forward. Anybody know if a study has been done (in a vet school or otherwise) on this? Don't want to...

    Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

    My wife used to use Biofreeze for neck and shoulder pain. She says there is a non-prescription otc and a stronger prescription version.

    Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

    As the originator of this post on poison ivy, I want to give you all an update.... I have just today stopped itching due to exposure to this #@*&!% plant. I've had it before years ago but never like this time! About 2 weeks ago my PCP told me to start taking a histamine or topical cortizone...

    Yep, the white eyes didn't have to fight 'um after they smoked the ivy. They just layed down and choked. :lol2:

    Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

    By the way...if you like Roundup, you can use it on ivy and it will look like a dried-up prune the next day. That's in warm weather. Haven't ever used it in Winter. Also, I wouldn't say that the dead, dried leaves/vines are impotent.

    Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

    Never heard of Tecnu until now. The first time I got p.i. I was told to use Zanfel and it did it's job but this time when I used it I got impatient with it and went to the doctor instead. If there is a next time I'll try Tecnu. Thanks for the tip.

    Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

    I want to share this in order to save some unsuspecting soul(like me)from tangling with this stuff. The Centers For Disease Control(CDC) website says that just about everyone is allergic to this stuff even though you feel sure you're not. Why? Because people's body chemistry changes over time...
