Hello permies, I have sustained my self with hand-crafted Herkimer Diamond Jewelry in Sterling Silver, or 14k Gold, Bronze, Copper, or Deerhide for two decades. I sell wholesale to stores around upstate NY & also a few store across the country. It was much more lucrative til COVID struck & wiped out some of the small businesses that I partnered with. I prefer wholesale as my fun part is making it, so I'm glad to share profits with my retail partners. Also no concerns with sales tax on my end. I'd add a photo, but am low tech, using my phone & don't know how. If you are interested in seeing photos, my work can be found online at Weisser's Jeweler's in Herkimer NY, or Corina's Contemporary Jewelry in Ballston Spa, NY.  Happy crafting!!!

I love my revere ware whistling tea kettle!! 2.8 qt. Stainless steel & copper $30 on Amazon or even cheaper if you can find it second hand.

My friend makes wonderful stir fries weekly with her leftovers. She taught me the secret to her rice was to fry it in oil till golden brown, before she cooked it in water. Never have sticky rice & has a lovely flavor.

Also found out from my older friend that often times with elderly there are no symptoms of a UTI. Oreganol capsules are yet another way to clear up a UTI. Oreganol is wild crafted oregano essential oil that is already diluted with olive oil & in capsule form to take internally. Oreganol is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, & anti-fungal.

Uva Ursi capsules also help, but my go to is normally homeopathic remedy, Cantharis 30c, works every time.

I live in the mohawk valley area of central New York. I enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, reading & many more activities, but mostly appreciating each beautiful day on this incredible planet. Look forward to your reply. Khara

Hi Chris, I live in the mohawk valley in central New York, recently bought an acre & half & built a small structure with a rocket mass heater. I live off grid & love it. It's mostly wooded so haven't done much gardening as it's very shady. I'm 60 & very health conscious & would love to chat. Email earthtouchbykhara@gmail.com
Look forward to hearing from you. Khara

I recently read a wonderful book, "Beaversprite" by Dorothy Richards about her experience with creating a beaver sanctuary in upstate NY. Incredibly detailed in the personalities & character of beavers. They became very friendly & were treated like family. Very enlightening & excellent read.

Hello permies,
   All excellent information listed here. I carry homeopathic ColdCslm with me at all times. When I feel the least bit of a cold coming on I take one tablet, let it dissolve under my tongue. It relieves my symptoms nearly immediately. If they return I repeat. Homeopathic medicine does not interact with any other medication & stimulates the body's own natural healing. Altho it is not something I can make, I'm grateful I can buy it. Nearly all of colds that come along, this relieves before they take hold. If it doesn't relieve my symptoms right away, I begin taking Oreganol. This is wild harvested oregano oil that is already diluted in olive oil, it comes in liquid or capsules. One capsule twice a day wipes out any cold or flu. It's antibiotic, antiviral & anti fungal. It can clear up a urinary tract infection also. I have used the liquid topically for warts & athlete's foot as well.
  Stay well.
