HASKELL COUNTY, Kan. — Forty-nine years ago, Ashley Yost’s grandfather sank a well deep into a half-mile square of rich Kansas farmland. He struck an artery of water...

The advice seems sound enough but the chart is, IMO, way too conservative. Discard pizza with toppings after 2 hours at room temp? C'mon! Raise your hand if you never had pizza for breakfast that sat...

USDA, no date

The idea that we’re on the cusp of a major paradigmatic shift in our thinking about psychiatric disorders is gaining ground. The proposed revision of the American...

Pattypans, I've heard the same thing; it was in a lecture on public radio and I have no way to track it down; like Aaltrude, I heard it 3-4 years ago.

But wait. Internet to the rescue! Google...

Otis, you presented with a complex set of symptoms and no clear diagnosis. We have followed you on your journey to healing and I think it has been instructive for many. At this point we are all...

Mellow, what with insects, disease, and predators like deer, groundhogs, rabbits etc., gardening should be an Olympic sport!

jessewills, please read the entire thread. It's not as simple as that.

Yes, I understand that and I agree. But most consumers aren't label readers. Why? they don't care. I just got into a long to-&-fro with someone on FB who thinks GM is all pseudoscience.

I gave you my take on FB. Unless these are mutant thrips, or a variety unknown to me, they are something else. You are in a far different USDA zone from me, so I dare not speculate!

Given the radioactivity level in tuna, I avoid it altogether now.

The thing is, who reads labels on milk? Doesn't everyone assume it's MILK?

They infest my home every spring, no big deal; you can vacuum them up but they wander off of their own accord eventually. And there are easy ways of dealing with aphids, as Aaltrude says. I'd get the...
