Tang I think that if that were 100% true maybe we'd all know about it and do this but in all fairness it can't hoit.

i drink a lot of green tea, but never sprayed it on my skin. i would think that it would leave your skin quite soft though. never heard of oxidized water ….

Tang, check with your RO before using anything on your skin. Most have their preferred treatments, some things can actually interfere with treatment.

My DD told me about this. She said she was all Ewwwwwww when she read it. I was too. Until she made it yesterday. You will never NEVER again buy a box of Jello pudding. She used almond milk, your choice. Same with sweetener. Put it in blender or food processor, till smooth. Chill...........if you can wait 30 min!

tang. Lots if people have talked to me about the oxidized water. Supposedly a lot of athletes drink it because of its chemistry and plenty of cancer success stories. Course I am skeptical. A good oxidizer machine starts around $3,000. I don't imagine if can hurt. Water is great for us right.
Fbb. ((( hugs ))))

ENERVA, it's an orphaned raccoon. Long story, but I am trying to save it. I wish I could send it to you, I don't have much luck with this stuff.

Hugs to you FBB.

Nettie - Does the raccoon suck? They have tiny nipples (now these are goat sized so maybe still not tiny enough) called Pritchard teats (always red and yellow). They are a two way valve so bottle does not collapse. You do have to cut the end off, they come completely sealed. I think you can get Unimilk in cans. Scours (diarrhea) are usually what gets baby animals. Did it get any of mom's colostrum? Better to make formula a bit more dilute till baby accommodates to it. Your local feed store might have something too. I think you are in the country, right? I know there is a "pet nurser" bottle - I think I have one in my kit still. These teats fit on soda bottles - I had a really short one saved for a long time - easier to handle. I think like 1/2 size normal bottles. I raised one goat partly on whole milk till I finally switched it to powdered formula - mom died from C-section #2.
Fiercely One - The biggest hug for you tonight. We'll be there whatever happens.
Know I missed a bunch. I erased a long post I had by accident. To tired to go back.
Blessings - hope you are on the couch, feed propped up. No more strenuous activity than changing into shorts/shirt and then back to pjs. I'm weird. PJs signal bed to me, I can't wear during the day unless sick. Not even lounging.

OMG I wish I could be there to help. If you use regular milk you must boil it then let it cool down. If you boil it it won't make him sick. I will cross my fingers it survives, you can do it
or ask around if there is a pet store or a vet they may be able to take it from you. I used to rescue all kind of animal when I was a child. And my mom always gave Them to the local vet lol 0 -
hey Maddie. Hope everything went as smoothly as possible with mom/dad today. Are you still looking at wed for moving your mom ?

Nettie, Baby raccoons are a lot of work and need special care and need the company of other racoons. Here is a link that explains how to find a wildlife rehabilitator.

Best of luck for the little one.

tang, check this out with your RO, Boiron Calendula gel, 1.5 oz, my friend's RO recommended this for every treatment she and her husband had. Each RO is different with what they ok.
FFB, sorry to hear, just one step at a time. Hoping for the best.

Morning gals....... My DD just sent me this.... wouldn't it be a miracle? Probably so far away to even think about it, but at least it's a new beginning!

Thinking of you Little BB...
You doing alright today? What's next for you now...? Don't forget, we are all here wondering how you are.
I don't think I have anything new to talk about... and CAMMI must be awfully busy with her what-ever-it-is-that-she-does.....
Neighbor News is as follows: She left a message.... I listened to it, and then went shopping..... Called her when I got home, and she said she needed to go to the Doctor's, but decided NOT to, since it is way the hell and back... So her DIL bought her some Meclazine, for dizziness, took it over, but she called ME to ask how to take it, because she didn't belive her DIL........ ho-hum.... I know.....
She has macular degeneration, and REALLY can't see, without her binocular eye-glasses, only even THEY didn't help. So I read her the directions from MY bottle, and told her just to take the whole bottle just to make sure they worked.
Haven't heard from her this morning..............................
Did you believe that? Hah! I told her to take one THEN, and one every morning before she gets up, and before she picks up that phone and calls the world to tell them she is dizzy. I will walk up this morning, with my coffee, and just sit & talk to her..... for about 1/2 hour...... DH doesn't want to go..... Neither do I, but I feel like I should, until they get her butt moved to the Home.
Okay.... I PROMISE I will quit talking about my neighbor SOON!

Good Morning everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been around much--I'm having a hard time keeping up.
FBB we're all pulling for you and praying for you.
My DD1 is coming over today and we're going to do a few things, she's on vacation this week so that's nice for me.
I had so much paperwork to fill out to prove I have no money, but I'm done so that gets mailed today plus I added some of my own thoughts, and they did say they wouldn't take anymore money from my SS until this is all figured out so we'll see, BTW the Pres. Of the US does not like--I've been a thorn in his side for a while and he's just trying to get rid of me. Well I'm not sure but I know that I've been pronounded unbalanced and can not fly--but that was either the Pres. or the Gov--I get things mixed up.
And I've been busy with work al A/C now and generators and I'm goofin' up a little I have to concentrate more, sometimes I really can't, I know it's simple but I feel tired or my D. I'm wiped out--and I know it too. BlahWell u all know I hope u all have some decent times today.

Cammi, have you been hanging around with Phylliwiththeanklemonitor? I'm sure you have! It's the GOVERNMENT that takes your taxes... I don't think the President does.... yet.... Ha! Don't send them NOTHIN'... let them come and get whatever it is they think you have... which is not much, from the sound of things!
Could you actually end up in Prison with HER and big Alice? Oh well.... you could party! We could all come visit, and bake saws in the cakes we bring you!
They say you are "unbalanced?" Damn people anyway! THEY have a lot of room to talk! We could just show THEM a thing or 2 or maybe even 4!
No don't concentrate.... It uses up our brain-cells, and we need all we can get... or hang onto.

Cammi, I'm waiting for you at the tire place.... Remember... we are going to get balanced!

Thanks for the tips, however, I’m trying everything! I also already contacted the wildlife
rehabilitators in my area and no one will take it!! I got a “pet nurser” but it doesn’t “latch”
on very well to it! I think it is
getting something though because it is “going”!
I’m doing the best I can! I even
let it nurse on one of my mama cats, but I had to hold her down, the minute I
let go, she ran off! I’m not sure how
many days old it is, but I think it must have been with the mama at least a day
or two! We left it hoping the mama would
return for it, there were 3 and two disappeared but this one never did! So we don’t know if the mama got them or
something else!And I don’t know if I was just lucky or if I have tough
skin, but I had NO trouble at all with my rads!
And THE only thing I was allowed to use was baby cornstarch, and I was
told to use it in abundance! So much so
that on check up day, the rad nurses would poor it on because they said the RO
would fuss if he didn’t think I was using it!
But as always, check with your on RO as they all have their own way!Sorry the above is formatted funny, I'm not in the mood to fix it! Wishing everyone a happy Wednesday!!! It is Wednesday, right??????

Thank you everyone for all the good wishes and prayers. I'm still in shock and will keep you updated the best I can. Thank you for all the bird pictures. It brings me strength knowing you are all pulling for me.
Chevy, I couldn't get the link to NPR to work, but loved the photo.
Nettie, not to scare you but raising raccoons is very dangerous and best left to a rehabber. In many states it is illegal and you put your own pets at risk and if you have a kennel it's a big concern. As a veterinary nurse who has done wildlife rehabbing, I had to have rabies vaccinations and raccoons carry a parasite in their feces that even I wouldn't want to raise orphaned raccoons. You must worm them immediately and often, and burn their feces and cage trash. Even the cages at rehab centers must be flamed since the parasite is not killed by disinfectant. Here is a link to raising raccoon kits if you feel you still want to do it. Good luck! They sure are cute little buggers. orphaned raccoons

FBB more hugs. Tell us if we can do anymore. Rads I'm pretty clueless on. That is pretty icky about rabies and parasite in raccoons. I now know to steer clear.Chevy, we may joke about freedom of speech and me not talking about being beanned or banned. BUT never talk about anything and government with any words.

Nettie, Here is a link to a site that explains how to take care of a baby raccoon. http://www.arcforwildlife.com/raccoons.htm I used to volunteer at a wildlife center and this site is accurate. It describes what to feed the baby. Baby raccoons cannot tell when they are full and will keep eating until they have trouble breathing. It's best to feed them and if they are still hungry, wait until they cry and feed them again. They get really loud when they are hungry. If the baby gets away into some area he shouldn't be, lure him out with miniature marshmallows. Make a trail to the open, throw a towel over him and move him back to his cage. Raccoons will follow marshmallow trails anywhere.
Flush the stool down the toilet and wash your hands with bleach, soap and water after handling the feces. Worm the baby as described in the link. You will need to worm the baby twice. As I remember, we wormed two weeks apart and then sent a stool sample to a vet to be checked. The parasite is truly serious although cases of human infection are rare but they do happen.
Don't worry about imprinting. The baby will form a bond with you but in my experience, raccoons are always suspicious of strangers.
Raccoons are very energetic and curious. They make terrible pets. They are tricky to rehab, take a lot of effort to prepare for release and are a major commitment. Call around to veterinarians and see if they know of any "unofficial" rehabbers with experience with raccoons.

Nettie,
You certainly did the right thing in rescuing the baby and turning it over to a rehabber. Your compassion does you credit.
