Biography

We manage a 40 acre wildlife area of the Texas Hill Country in the Edwards Plateau at about 3030 ft above sea level. The region is notable for its karst topography and tall rugged hills of limestone. The terrain throughout the region is punctuated by a thin layer of topsoil and a large number of exposed rocks and boulders, making the region very dry and prone to flash flooding. Native vegetation in the region includes various yucca, prickly pear cactus, native grasses and wildflowers. The predominant trees in the region are Ashe Juniper, Shin Oak and Texas Live Oak. Soil is alkaline consisting of caliche and clay.

Ideas for muscle cramping

Besides the magnesium spray and tonic water, I have found nothing works for me other than a bar of soap.

I read about this on the website, Peoples Pharmacy. I have not been to that site in years though many of the tips were very helpful.

I keep a bar of soap by the bedside, which I grab at the first sign of a cramp.

Would you rather hot or cold?

I have been known for wearing summer clothes on the coldest day or winter.

So I chose that option.

We moved from Oklahoma in January to Texas. I could not believe that we saw girls at the local convenience store wearing short shorts. I would not be surprised today.

It is way to hot here to wear winter clothes in the summer, even if they were wool.

[Solved] Facebook Difficulty - Two businesses with almost the same name?

Their page is The Maine Ingredient.

Did you try: Maine Ingredient, LLC to see if that would work.

Leaving off the THE.

It would be a good idea for you to secure your business name.

To do this you would registering the name with your state. This is necessary for legal formation but offers limited, local protection.

Dear hubby had a business which I had registered and then someone else started using the same name. I contacted the name registration dept and those folks had to change their name.

how to remove mildew from cloth?

That is a pretty throw so I hope you find something that works.

There are several things to.

Maybe start by soaking in vinegar, and then soaking baking soda aka bicarbonate of soda.

Looking forward to other suggestions.

Please let us know what worked.

House oriented North-South. How do I warm the northern bedrooms?

Back in the old days as Matt suggested there are other methods that were used.

A hot water bottle or hot bricks were placed in the bed to warm the bed before folks got into bed.

There were also bed warmers which were metal pans with long handles that were filled with hot rocks. The pan was slid between two layers of bedding, then bed would be heated thoroughly before folks went to bed.

Baking soda is my secret ingredient when making pinto beans and in the flour mix for chicken fried steak.

I recommend Leigh's book:

Starlink internet

I need to find out what they do consider a driveway. I have no idea. This is the screwiest county I've ever seen. We have annual taxes due by Oct 1st and we still can't get them to give us an amount.

I guess we were lucky that there was no waitlist for our area. That must be for popular areas.

I have not received any Tax info on either of our properties.

Most times you can pay Oct 1 to get the best discount though the taxes are not due until Dec 31.

My suggestion would be to call your county and ask to speak with 911, then ask if a dirt driveway will be enough or even a proposed driveway. Explain to them why you need an address.
