My step-dad recently gave us the long bow that he made 50-some-odd years ago. So my husband took Turnip and I down to an archery store, we got a new string for it, 'sized' my draw, and purchased some arrows for it. Today, Turnip and Tom (my hubby), set up some straw bales in the back yard, got out t...

Greetings, Eledhwen!
I just read your notes (Forandir)...You are such an inspiration! Would love to one day meet, and spend some time with you! Thanks so much for your sharing! Sindara

Greetings to all! Last Sunday, Turnip and I headed for the woods to stretch our legs for a bit, and to enjoy the crisp autumn air. I also went out to gather some hawthorn berries, and Turnip wanted to practice sneaking up on me. So, for about two hours, I was shredding myself on thorns,and not getti...

The best of luck, Eledhwen!!! Can hardly wait to hear your tale afterwards! Our thoughts and prayers go with you!
Sindara and Turnip

Greetings Earendur! Yes, that is the number that you need to look at - the carvacrol. Thanks for the latest info - I looked up my last order with New Directions, and the analysis sheet came back with a 67% on the carvacrol, BUT, you are right, the current number is the 39.45%! That is much lower tha...

Greetings Earendur (and anyone else interested in this stuff)! I purchase my oregano oil from "newdirectionsaromatics.com". Their prices are a little higher, but the oil is NOT diluted, and a little goes a long way. This is the purest oregano oil that I have found to date, and they have al...

Quit horsin' around Turnip! Okay, here goes... We are two RA and Tolkien fans (me from way back to ancient times). We were introduced to this forum by Liz Pertis - my oldest doughtier / Turnip's older sister. Turnip is a sophomore in high school, fantastic artist, who loves spending time in the wood...

Sindara: oops

Turnip: What did you do now Mom?

Turnip: I vote for the purple unicorn.

Sindara: Personally, I'll go with the orange kitten in the somewhat ranger cloak.

Turnip: I vote for the purple unicorn.

Greetings to all: I have viewed almost all of the posts on this site (still have a few to go), and am delighted, astonished, and thankful for the many insights / knowledge shared by this diverse brotherhood. It is refreshing to have a faith in humanity boosted in such. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! Sinda...

That was fascinating! I am a lover of histories - no matter whose... really enjoyed your ramblings! I heard it somewhere, that, today's events on the morrow become history. Over time, history becomes legend. Over time, legend becomes myth. So as far as I am concerned, all myth contains some grains o...

OH, CAUTION! MUST TELL YOU - do not use straight, undiluted oregano oil on your skin (or anything else)!!!!! It is extremely strong - will BURN tissues. That's why what you get at health/herb stores is diluted... By mixing the pure stuff into our salve, we are diluting it.

Greetings to all! Okay, Turnip and I have been brainstorming on many different projects... First, a salve that we have been making and using for many years - thought that others might be interested... will tell you the basics of making your own. This stuff has been great in many ways: we've used it ...

Greetings Brian! I think that Turnip and I will have to try the SWAG next time we head to the woods. I love the way that it can be 'unloaded' quietly and quickly. Thanks so much for sharing the info!!! Sindara
