When my kids were teething i would soak wash clothes and then freeze them. Theyd chew on them things for a while and loved it. My grandma told me to do it lol, who knew it would work, i didnt lmao🤣🥴

I know I'll catch hell from many, but I used jack daniels on my kids gums as they were teething.
It's something that was done for ages (and to me by my mom), works excellent, but don't mention it because I'm sure you can be put in prison for it these days.

You don't give em a swig, just moisten a q-tip and rub their gums down. They calm down immediately (not drunk, but once the alcohol hits the gums, it calms the pain down.

My Granny did this too. Difference was, she would light it and burn the alcohol off and then rub what remained on the gums. Seemed to still work and the baby wasn’t drunk 🙂

We’ll I screwed up the honey last night. That’s what we get for starting at bed time. 😝

We didn’t decarb first but a quick check with @stonemason & @CannaGranny agreed that proceeding was probably fine and not much I could no now anyway. The weed was already in the honey.

I cooked it higher for a while, longer, and just finished bottling. Hard part is moving fast before it thickens.

For some reason I like cleaning up this mess.

Darker than normal but tastes great.

Having a tea now. Just for quality assurance. 😉
 
Broke out the French press this morning.
Wife came home last night with some chocolate truffle coffee from Godiva so i couldnt run that through the regular pot. Had to get the full flavors, its delicious and nice and strong ☕️

Love me a good coffee. Just used my cheap ass $100 espresso again this morning to make an awesome cappuccino with frothed almond milk and some canna oil 😁 I think my favorite thing to do with the infused oil is putting it in coffee. I'm out of flower so this is my wake and bake now 😆

But I really need to make some more edibles, something different... 🤔 I also need to get some chocolate bar molds to make shroom bars

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Morning ya Menz!
Man what a beautiful day here! I’m on the porch again! Sunny and 65* this morning!
Reached a milestone this morning and my injured cat 🐈 has finally healed and been allowed back outside today. I’m so stinking glad! He has been in the house for the past six weeks. I have been poking medicine down him twice a day, soaking and flushing out his wound. I opened the door this morning and asked him if he wanted out. His whole face changed and he was out in a flash.
He is a talker and I won’t miss him talking all night long, or even going all over the house talking to himself all day and I sure as hell won’t miss scooping out liter boxes. Just a lot less shit to deal with. 😂
Imma sit here have a smoke and enjoy this cup o’ “trash coffee”.

We use kpods mostly now. And I find most grocery store brands to kind of suck now. Same for the canned coffee we put in our own k cup. Before 2021 it was okay but it seems worse now.

Need an extra bag or two these days but teas still pretty good. Besides it goes better with honey.
 
Morning ya Menz,
How goes the war? I would be asking myself, which one? What a clusterfeck this world has become.
Why I enjoy you all so much. All in on a good smoke a good cup of coffee and a giggle.
Well hello @Cool_Beans! Long time no see, welcome back to the Corner!
@MDK I really do drink the cheap coffee. I have found a brand that costs half of the typical Folgers and maxwell house, and tastes a lot better. It’s more than likely available in your area too. It’s Best Choice and it comes in all kinds of blends.
@Zen_seeker hows the honey? It looks super strong! 🐝
@steamroller Morning ya ole softie!
@Rootsruler hope all is well with the hand progress! You are kinda quiet this morning.
@GoodShit97 Morninnnnnn! What’s new with you today and how is the wee one doing?
Record breaking heat here today, I’ll take it! An unbelievable 72* on the front porch early morning this morning. Back to using the ac to keep my grow room cooled, running three lights at a hundred percent. We be in flower!
Wishing you all a fantastic day today. I’m off to the city to see a specialist today, I think I could live without it.. I’ll suffer through the visit just to get to eat out and not cook tonight lol.

GF keeps buying the Starbucks bags at Sam's. Is there a better offering?

They should have Peet's brand, which is good. I just started getting into buying my own coffee beans myself, but I can vouch for the Peet's.

I am still loving this one I got at Costco.

Morning Granny!!

We have a nice warm day here as well. Got off to a great start this morning. Picked another mushroom flush this morning, and the place stinks to high heaven with the flowering going on, even with venting outside lol, sure looks good though

Going to be an early Christmas harvest 😁

Sorry to hear that about the wife! Glad to hear the little one is doing better,
Looking forward to seeing your “he shed” up. Ya gonna heat that thing? If so, how? I’m up town, mine has heat and air! Originally a place I could work on my stained glass is now community smoke shack and a cat house. You know, the four legged kind, just to be specific 😂
 
Hand is doing well. I just had a 4 week Doc check and he said he was relieved to see the progress I was making. On my first visit he wanted me immobile in the sling for 6 weeks to make sure the sutures healed up and I didn't retear them. I told him I heal pretty fast. He felt 6 weeks because of my age. Doc knows best. Fast forward to the day he took me out of the sling and he mentions that he should have had me out of it in 4. They never listen.🙄

I've had 4 rehab sessions and on this last visit I could see the relief on the Docs face. He said that I was at around 80% - 85% and that the rest of rehab should be about fine motor, scar tissue remediation and regaining strength. He rescheduled another doc check for 3 months.

Of course I want this healed yesterday but he said it would take at least a few months before the hand started to feel normal again. The 2 months the therapy mommas told me was for initial motor and range but fine motor and strength will take longer. Right now I can do most everything and have been noodling around on my guitar using it as a gauge to my old dexterity and range. Not 100% but I can play a few songs now that I couldn't a month ago.

Maybe once my hand is further along I'll write a song called " On CG's Corner"!!!😁

I’m interested in your shroom room! Yeah my ladies be making their presence known too. Apparently it can be smelled even outside my house as one of the roofers told my husband that his wife’s potpourri sure smelt nice.
I ask the Hubby how the roofer knew it was mine and not his and the Hubby is like , duh, ya were carrying out bags of dirt and mixing soil. Lol

Glad to hear this! Sounds like with time you will make a full recovery ❤️‍🩹
You are right about they never listen! I’m to the point that I question everything and my Docs have just got used to it. I feel like if they can’t answer my questions, listen and accept that we know our bodies, then I’ll go elsewhere.
Seems that white coat and authority is too easily accepted among the majority of us.
I just read an article yesterday that made my mouth fall open. The gist of it was that Alzheimer’s is a doctor made disease. Claims that the disease is due to a thinning of the padding that encompasses the brain. Amazingly what the padding is, is cholesterol! Statins are causing it!
Get yourself better..we need a Corner Song!

I've followed the research around Alzheimer's for years, and that's exactly what I came to the conclusion of about ten years ago. They don't treat it as something curable because of some of the genetic mysteries that still surround the brain and how the cells actually interact but the gist of the disease is fatty cells interfere with the communication between neurons, then portions of the brain start to die, producing to dementia symptoms. One would think it would be fairly straight forward to treat but ya know how western medicine works -- cured patients aren't paying patients so long-term or intractable diseases are good for getting those repeat customers in the door.

Alzheimer's is one of those diseases that absolutely makes my blood boil just because of the terrible things I've witnessed families experience as a result of the absolute failure our medical system has done in regards to handling it. Treating the symptoms does not work and any drugs that have been produced which have shown significant reversal effects have been completely shut down by the FDA. In fact, if I can dig up this old research whitepaper I read years ago about this particular nootropic a clandestine chemist developed, I'll share it here. Basically this guy, seeking to help a family member, developed this drug that boosted short term memory exponentially with very few negative side effects. This drug showed that while humans can typically recall a series of seven numbers, with this drug humans were able to recall upwards 100. It also showed in brain scans that elasticity was restored in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. The chemist couldn't continue with FDA approval due to a loss of funding and the chemical formula was lost in the 70s when he died, then his daughter recovered it in the early 2000s and supplied it to a university in the midwest iirc.

anyways, enough of story time. i'll see if i can dig up that paper.
 
Morning...still barely. On standby today father in law fell and hit his head put a pretty good gash in it so wife had to drag him to the hospital. He don't want to go same old story...she's just had enough said your going...and gonna have him transferred to his main hospital further out. Truth is he needs a nurse.

He fell hit his head, skinned his shoulder then my wife said a turd fell out his pant leg so he shit himself. Stuff a daughter just shouldn't have to go through so I sympathize for her there.

Bad scenario they're all in with him. Defiant.

Yeah, I finally got some good ones out of there. I think it's been 4 moderate flushes and it looks like another one might come up. Really wild stuff learning about how they grow.

I find it fascinating that they breathe oxygen like us and put out CO2. Very interesting

I feel like I am still 99% newb in mycology after seeing some of the other operations people are doing. But this is mostly for me and one tub is plenty. Only took 3 tries to get it... 😆

Just checked my grain and it looks like this new one I got, tidal wave, is colonizing just fine! Supposed to be very potent, I think it's a fitting name, as mushrooms def hit you in waves.

I think this is one of the coolest pics of my first flush. The glow on the stems is from where I handled them without gloves.
