Stressed



As you can see in the photo our corn is getting stressed by the lack of rain right at tasseling time. When corn is stressed the leaves are pointed skyward so any rainfall is caught by the leaves and directed down the stem to the root zone.



Working on the medallions.



Supposedly I have a date and time set for my gall bladder surgery. I will believe it when I see it. Thursday August 18th at 2 PM (14:00 ) in Des Moines

A great deal of pain today. I am dreadfully tired not sleeping well last night. I have done some Martha Stewart work on those large medallions using various shades of gold coupled with particular brush strokes.

Sorry for your pain. I hope you can get the surgery on the prescribed date and put an end to it. I suffered for years with kidney stone pain that registered 10+. Took oral Toradahl by the handful, which only helped a little.

Good work on the medallions. Might need to find a home for them in the mansion.

Crop stress caused by drought is always a huge concern for farmers, and seems to be affecting most of the continent.

Rain chances over the weekend. with the up turned leaves even a sprinkle will get utilized.

Martha gave me the confidence to tackle any project. I just look on Youtuube how others are doing it and then follow their example.

I hope you do get some rain I hate to see things go wrong as far as plants even if it's just for money, I thought you said you got a little bit the other day but let's hope you get some more.

I've had similar pain not for the same reason but it's still hard to deal with but try to hang in there little buddy, I wish you all the best and I hope the surgery comes true and you can get back to some kind of normalness

I got rid of that by avoiding all fats and oils in the food .Drinking lots and lots of water with herbal teas and lemonade .It turns out its caused by eating too much fatty foods .That would be found in fried foods ,butter and margerine and even in oily salad dressings .It was a wrenching pain in the side belly area .That means its inflamed and you may have to eat nothing but soup broth for a couple of days.when you eat something make sure everything is low fat cause In my case it was blobs of fat in the gall that clogs it up and when it does Im belching like crazy from indigestion .Gas n belching can become painful in a sense can feel pain in chest and bloating because your gall bladders clogged and bile cant get to your intestines.So you have too flush it out.I heard there were drugs to help dissolve that stuff out .But if you have a big bad hard stone in there well then the doc wanta hack it out perhaps .But i flushed it out like it was some dirty carberator that needed cleaning and didnt need the surgury

What little we got STR did not come close to alleviating the drought.

The Drs are saying they want to put a stint into the bile duct so thjat the stones just pass on through. I want the G D Gall bladder just taken out but guess if I want anything it doesn't matter what ya say... it what the DRS WANT>

Its so interesting they put in the stint to open up the floating little balls of fat to flush em out .In this case you want flush them out .That what i did I drank plenty of herbal teas ,soups ,juices ,fresh water and sorta fasted avoiding the fatty oils deep fried stuff .Grow a patch of German chamomille herb.Drink tea from the dried flowers ,that will help alot .or mayby i just drink beer n pee more.
