I find that's necessary for me to keep up my blog writing too.<br /><br />I just wanted to thank you for recommending my blog to readers, and also to thank those readers who commented (saying where they came from) it was a delightful surprise.<br /><br />I didn't know you had family in this area. It's a lovely place, just far enough away from the city but with a brimming local community to touch base with. If this is where your family comes from, I can see your attachment to community endeavours. It connects you in ways which is hard to describe. I'm really good friends with our local green grocer, butcher and feed store owners. And I'm just a customer - but that's how they treat you, like a friend. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-53125361415557732752012-08-05T07:22:48.797+10:002012-08-05T07:22:48.797+10:00Hi Lin, Hanno is much better now, thank you.

America is now dumbed down, a follower of money, has lost its way, and is becoming in many ways a world of who has and who has not. <br />And you cannot tell them any different. Just last night on the news there was a report on U.S. citizens 14 and under, who are picking fruit and vegetables for large corporations (as opposed to small family farms) and working 9 hour days with no time for school. This is not acceptable for any child; citizen or not. <br /><br />It is a lost nation.hopflowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-52100280372407933232012-08-03T22:03:23.316+10:002012-08-03T22:03:23.316+10:00Rhonda, I too must comment on the change of your b...Rhonda, I too must comment on the change of your blog format.

He found out that the first image in every post needs to be a landscape 4:3 ratio image in order to display correctly on the home page. That's basically an ordinary photo in landscape orientation. We couldn't figure out how to update the template's code to have it display portrait images but maybe you'll have some luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861108457109878599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-39983768535967592832012-08-02T04:27:44.562+10:002012-08-02T04:27:44.562+10:00Enjoy your time away, Rhonda.

So she cans enough quarts to take care of his needs for the year, each summer. She told me you have to eat a lot at first to get rid of the pain and then once it is gone, just eat something like 9 cherries per day to keep it away.<br />Elizabeth in NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-37803358590483251442012-08-01T23:08:22.554+10:002012-08-01T23:08:22.554+10:00Rhonda, I hope Hanno's gout is better soon.

My levels started to creep up so, as a precaution, I take tart black cherry juice every morning. <br /><br />Once, while very sick, I stopped taking the cherry juice (I wasn't able to eat much) and I developed gout...wow, the pain was awful. Of course it was a weekend so my doctor wasn't available. I quickly added the cherry juice back to my diet and, at the recommendation of the herbalist at a local herbal pharmacy, started adding liquid chlorophyll to my drinking water. The symptoms began to recede with 24 hours.<br /><br />Perhaps this is all old news, but on the chance that it may help Hanno, I thought I'd mention it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-55979622104656475292012-08-01T17:22:01.687+10:002012-08-01T17:22:01.687+10:00Rhonda, My father also suffers from gout... not a ...Rhonda, My father also suffers from gout... not a nice thing i am sure though apparently, LEMONS!!!
