I think it must have been inadvertently channelled by the robots into spam. Thanks for your input in re of DE. I've never used it as I've always been worried about it getting into the lungs when a bird dusts, obviously you haven't experienced this problem. Hope everything is going well and that you have continued to flourish on unknown shores. We've been here since 2000 making a home for ourselves and our poultry by the sea and growing our food forest and living sustainably. We may be financially poorer by some standards but the riches of experience and happiness and knowing you are doing something to create and help and not destroy and hinder are immeasurable. All the very best, SuePavlovafowlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11578592110340773950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210982388002297798.post-66403832379444121172015-06-03T02:58:20.350+02:002015-06-03T02:58:20.350+02:00Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade).

Within a couple of hours the mites had jumped ship and he was well enough to fly again. Can't live without it. Take it myself everyday for strong bones. My furry family members do not know what a flea or tick is. DE is 100% effective inside and outside the body without the use of chemicals.<br />Use it in my garden to stop cut worms. Does not harm earth worms. Natures miracle. So many uses and I keep finding more. We rescue cats and other animals and use DE to prevent internal and external parasites. Just thought I would spread the word!.<br />Candice Kimmel<br />A Welsh person cast abroad on unknown shores trying to live a sustainable life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068988415511692365noreply@blogger.com
