Making Mead .. 
as seen at growforagecookferment.com ..
 it's their pics, until I make my own !! ..


ONE GALLON MEAD RECIPE : …. (melomel ) .. You can use Apple Cider instead of water.
Then it’s called Cyser .. 
INGRED:
2-3 # honey  .. mesquite or ?? 1 cup Berries or fruit .. fresh or frozen
1 orange 10 raisins
1 pkg Champagne yeast 1/2 gallon water or cider
———————————————-
USE the Sanitizer to clean these ..: 
1 gallon jug w/ airlock 
big metal spoon, Funnel , Large Pot .. 
brewing sanitizer (One Step brand…?)  
———————————————————
Once ready : put 1/2 gallon water or cider in your Large pot, put on Medium heat.
Let it warm, NOT boiling… add honey, stir util dissolved. 
Turn off heat.. If it’s a little foamy, it’s ok.. just don’t boil.
PUT the berries, fruit.. orange slices (skin and all), raisins into your jug.
Using the funnel, pour the honey water/cider mix into the jug. 
Top it off with cold, filtered water, leaving at least 2 inches of head space at top.
Put the lid of the jug onto the jug, gently mix all.   THEN….
add the yeast (when it’s 90oF or under ) (if you make 2 jugs, you can just split the yeast pkg.
Put the lid back on.. shake this for several minutes.. (A good workout!).
  Put a little water into the airlock to the line, then put the rubber stopper into your
jug.   In a few hours, or by the next day, you’ll see bubbles in your jar/airlock.
Leave it.. it’s fine.  Keep it in a cool, dark place.  Takes 4-6 weeks. …
 (They usually give it 6 weeks to be on the safe side, due to bottling and possible explosions. .. Wait until you don’t see any bubble in the jug and the air lock is still.  ..

You can drink it right away, but it’s better with some age. you can save for a year.

===========================================

June 2017.
Just wanted to make a note.. I have sold a number of these shirts, on eBay.. no problem..
But, I made the BIG MISTAKE of selling one to someone in S. Africa..
While It's entirely possible that this person never did receive it.. and I want to believe
that that is what happened.. It's also possible that this person has a history
of buying items from various countries.. and then he says he never got the item, and he
gets his money back, but has an inside friend at Customs, or maybe this guy works
in the postal services.. and he got his shirt, now he gets his money back, too, to boot !??
Whatever the actual truth is.. I'm out of $60. + because he claims that whenever got the
shirt ... Using the tracking number, I'm told that this shirt went thru customs, and was released, just never was delivered. .. and eBay was quite quick in deciding to give him his money back.
I looked up this guys name, and I find 20 people with that name, on Facebook.  
Enquiring minds what to know...what really happened, but, I guess I'll never know.
Lesson learned.. NEVER sell items to another country, without massive insurance !?

Dealing with Dementia -- at home

This is the Heading !! .. the beginning of a blog      May 18, 2016

Let's be vague: ...


After my mom fell,  Nov 2014.. she went further downhill than before.. Episodes of stressful situations.. Deaths and a very irritating JERK of a neighbor that yelled at her..(for 5 years).
  So, we moved my mom in after she had to stay in the hospital.. 5-6 days, and she couldn't go back to her apt!! in the Winter @this Northern Hemisphere ??..
 .. She wound up in the hospital again, in April 2015.  .. In May, ;we went to the Geriatric Evaluation.. I guess I STILL have questions, a year later. Not sure what more I should be doing.  If it weren't for her pains: Pain in the left arm, Pain in the back .. Pain in the hip .. maybe she would have been OUT and had some fun. Go to a senior center and go visit friends?? But, she's forgetful and in pain, doesn't sleep well.. complains about being fat in the gut (but she's not FAT.. she's 120 pounds!!) ..." IT's too hot and it's too cold and on and on.."

I'm looking at various sites to give me some ideas on what to do, where to go.. what else I may have to "look forward to"..

Alzheimer-s-Caregivers-More-Likely-to-Develop-Dementia
Oh boy, Oh boy! .. thanks for that one!! .. I will have a heightened risk for developing dementia, just because I'm acting as a caregiver for a loved one!? .. The Isolation .. the Stress ... and depression!?
It says that I need to take a break once in a while.. is that a few hours a day or do they mean take a week off !!???


From this link :  Caregivers-Find-Support-From---

       "Mom needs to go to the doctor or have her diaper changed.
       Dad has to be fed and kept from wandering out of the house.
       Siblings have to be begged to help and tough skin must be 
        developed when the caregiver is told what they do doesn't    
        matter enough that they will receive help."
      --AT least I don't have to go that far, yet.*. Mom's got her physical needs under
enough control to not need me to change a diaper, and she doesn't wander, 
tho' , I'd imagine that if it was easier to get around for her, and easier to open
the doors, she could wander.  She did say to me that she's not comfortable to
go outside, all the way across the street, to the mail box and BACK?? ..

      *Well, how times change!! Nov.1, 2017, mom had another fall, in the street, 
       went by ambulance to hospital, stayed a week, then to a rehab : where :
      oops.. she was found on the floor, picked up and put back in bed by two
      night time nurses and BIG OOOPS: she got driven to the hospital to verify
      that she DID have a broken hip.. Let's hear it for REHAB !!?
      Since Dec 5th, we changed how our house was, refit it for her needs and
      brought mom back home.. there WAS some help from the state.. personal
      care people coming in.. and we paid for someone else to come in, but how long
      can one afford that LUXURY!? .. Had to stop the extra help by March, and then
      the state help was there, still.. but NO ONE TO STAFF IT.. so, up SH*T Creek for us.
      Two month with No Personal help.. no family help (well, where WAS there any
      "family" help?? a total of 3 days??)  We got one respite in April, and are due for 
       another one in July. .... SIGH!       ... 
...


guilt-stop-feeling-guilty!
         Get used to it – the guilt I mean. The phone thing was just one of the
           games I had to play. When Mom would call the first time, I'd answer 
           and see how she was doing. The second time, I'd gently try to let her
            know she had just called. The third time – well, sometimes it just 
           seemed better to ignore it. I knew she would be embarrassed
           (or else think I was lying, depending on the day) if I told her she'd 
           called 3X within 15 minutes. It seemed kinder to just not 
             answer the phone and let her forget that she called."

          THIS is what bothers me the most.. it's been for 2 years at this point.. 
Repeating things to me!!  Not a phone call, (not sure she can use the phone anymore??)
but the same information,over and over and over.   ..
              I'm told I should probably adopt a new way of retorting..  
 Just smile and pretend I didn't know.. and nod.. and stop
feeling so annoyed!! .. Be an actress.  
          It goes against my grain/brain, 
              to deceive and weave.   
                  Getting Peeved.

Other things I looked at today:
there are 80-90 types of Dementia .. they affect at least 2 parts of the brain. there are:
Chronic Progressive Dem., Vascular Dem., Fronts-Temperal Dem (aka Picks), Primary Progressive Aphasia, Huntington's .. to name a few..
 She's had a Neuro-psychological workup .. but I don't recall anything said about what type she has!? I shall call them and ask.
There are Neurologists, Gerantricians, Geripsychoiatrists .. NeuroPsychologists.
Some people get EEG's,  MRI's, CT Scans .. as there could be Fluid, Tumors, a stroke .. So, another question to ask.. why didn't she get one of those?
 I looked at 12 RX's that may increase the likelyhood of a fall. AntiThrombotics (warfarin), drugs for peptic ulcers or GERD, Diuretics, NSAIDS (women only), B12 & Folic Acid, constipation drugs,
Calcium, Hypnotic sedatives, analgesics, Opiods and Anti-depressents.  .. hmmm she takes a few of these Items..
