Granny's gone and done it again

oh and evidently my yaks are considered an asset and their purchase price is then depreciated over x number of years. I had no idea. SO no on writing off the losses. But the new ones I got can now be depreciated.

It's like driving a car off the lot!

You can order some D mannos pills, thats the stuff in cranberries that works. I still say the best thing is that probiotic though. Why go get antibiotics, to work once and wipe out your immune system, when you can instead take a probiotic and take care of it possibly forever, while strengthening your immune system. They even did clinical studies on it, and found it MORE effective than antibiotics, but its not technically a medication so isn't prescribable.

You make good points! I don't suffer from these very often. I suspect my problem is the fact that I am virtually completely sedentary due to my my knee situation. Exercise is crucial to out physical well-being. I have a routine I do here in my chair, in fact I'm moving all the time, stretching, leg lifting, doing sit-ups, even lifting weights; but nothing takes the place of walking and even standing a good portion of the day.

Where are you located? Some people missdd it because it occurred after the moon had set in their location.

Very true, being sedentary is soo hard on the body. I hope it gets better soon!

Alright, I need help. I have to DIY an incubator. The one we have been using we have for exactly as much time as it takes 1 batch to hatch, then we have to return it. But I have 8 eggs rescued from a nest a young broody abandoned. I put them in the incubator until today, locksown day. I have been trying to figure out a good incubator DIY, but the one thing I could think of isn't working too well. They are currently in a fluffy hat inside an electric blanket inside a Coleman cooler i cant seem to get the temp above 90, not that electric blanket was a great idea anyway.

I have a heat lamp, but will need it for the incubator chicks soon. I cant cut up the cooler, its not mine. I dont have a plug in light socket. I have an abundance of cardboard.. I have a spare ceiling light socket I could theoretically wire to an old charger or something, but im not sure on the power requiments vs the charger abilities. Although, I only have LED lights on hand anyway I think.

Thank you! I think I have six weeks left of the "no-weight bearing" instruction. We'll get there! Time flies when you're having fun, you know!

I cannot help you, other than to tell you to either start a thread in the Incubation Forum asking for help, or do a search here on BYC for DIY incubators. I know LOT of people have done it, and successfully, and you can, too. I believe I've heard of people even using styrofoam coolers, so it doesn't have to be expensive. Good luck!
