corn vs grass

Out west the prairie is a mess because the buffalo are missing. If you go to any ranch that is properly managed using grazing cattle there are flowers and prairie grasses everywhere, any land that is mismanaged looks awful. The prairie and the cattle were made for each other but are separated now because of feed lots. The cattle cannot be slaughtered past the age of two because of the endless list of diseases they succumb to. Also, if they only eat grain, the grain will kill them. So a little bit of corn at finishing may make them more valuable to the consumer, but it also increases the price to the consumer, compromises the health of the animal and the land. Letting them make food out of grass, rather than feeding them our food to make them marbled or juicy is controversial to me.

while it might be tempting, know that the GRASS
and in your middle 50s, if you think the grass is greener - you may be possibly living in the Land of DE Nile......(denial).....and merely deluding yourself and you don't want *regrets* in your 60s, now do ya?
What's the old carpenter saying? Measure twice, cut once........so I suggest you think on this FOR A VERY LONG TIME before you cut up the family.......unless of course, as another poster stated, unless your spouse is heavily abusive......which, again, you have not indicated.......
in either event, best of luck to you, I am sure this is not easy.......
grass seed (sm)
We threw out grass seeds once and finally decided to use sod instead. Now we have a beautiful centipede lawn. Have you thought of sodding vs. seeding?
There is no perfect grass for
all the zones in the US. I remember reading about the product a while ago, and it definitely is not suited to our climate here in NC. I'm pretty sure it's all about the magic of marketing.
Here is another site discussing the product:

grass fed beef
Another good way to get your B vitamins is beef, but I got REALLY lumpy when I ate corn finished beef, grass fed is leaner than chicken.
grass fed has the omega's too
and is superior in many ways. Meat (good type) is not unhealthy to eat; but animals raised with growth hormones and cows that are grain fed/fattened move too far from what is natural and i am convinced that it lends to our ill health. Cows are not meant to eat volumes of grain and it causes a chemical change in their bodies...
Bamboo? Not really a wood, rather a grass
I pulled out all my carpet (have a very hairy cat who sheds constantly) and put in 1400 s.f. of bamboo bought from Lumber Liquidators. It's not really wood, though it looks just like wood, it's really a grass made into wood-looking flooring. Easy to take care of too. My cat throws up too but now on the floor (and not the rugs that I now have in several places. *S*
Once I did this, I could now *see* the dirt that I couldn't really *see* in carpeting and one gets to see what y'all have been breathing in (with carpeting) for decades no matter HOW much one vacuums. I must say we are all BREATHING better since I got rid of the wall-to-wall carpeting!
Best of luck in whatever you choose to do. *S*
if you believe that - you're deluded - the grass...NM
patch perfect grass
does it work and how much is shipping?
Anyone know how to keep dogs off lawn/grass?
Where I live, green space is communal, although owned by each homeowner. It's a city and HOA rule that owners pick up after their pets. Unfortunately, they do not.
Now, I love dogs. I had one until recently, my husky-mix died just before the new year after 14 years. I'm not so fond of some owners. Especially when snowmen were off limits for my son because of unwanted "gifts" all over the lawn. And now nicer weather is here, I have to tell me son he can't play in the grass outside our home. How nice is that?
Since I can't get the owners to pick up, or catch them, is there any way to make the my grass unappealing to dogs? A spray or something?
Got note from association about mowing our grass
but thank goodness hubby had mowed just a few days ago. The association goes through the neighborhood ever so often and checks the yards. He has a riding lawnmower and a gas run mower; however I am unable to mow the front yard because cannot pull the rope on the mower. I fully intend to get me a push button starter mower so I can at least mow the front so presentable at all times.
corn
This casserole IS fabulous - my daughter made it last year, and hopefully will make it again this time!
Oh for crying in the corn
I've put in zillions of urinary catheters in males. I've cleaned behind foreskins. I've "dug" people out when they've had more problems than milk of magnesia can handle. (I'm a nurse turned transcriptionist.) That's totally more intimate than dancing with someone. I have never cheated on my husband even with those experiences. LOL
If these people cheat, it's not the dancing's problem, it's the person's problem.
I do not care for this show one bit, so I'm not defending it at all. I just think this argument is not terribly valid.

OMG, fried cream corn?!!??
That stuff sounds like it should be from the "Coronary Cookbook."
Corn starch isn't really recommended
for yeast because it can actually feed yeast.
My DH uses Corn Husker's Lotion. NM

Talc and corn starch are not the same thing...

last year homemade carmel corn,

Rub some baking soda or corn starch into him well and brush out? nm

Do you have a corn maze to go thru nearby? Some are huge AND pricey! nm

Generic corn-chex cereal, milk, & a cup of coffee. (nm)

Frito corn chips in the bottom of a bowl, chili
on that with your choice of toppings - we usually put shredded cheese and onions on top. The local BBQ joint makes it with corn chips, shredded pulled pork, bbq sauce and bbq beans - SOOOO good!!
Eye round roast, potatos, yams, corn, and string beans.
Taking advantage of the cool weather and using the oven.
One time our neighbor's kids fed our German shepherd candy corn while she was out on her run.
I was out in the driveway washing our car at the time, and I saw them playing with her, but then saw what they were feeding her. She then came inside and threw up yellow and orange all over our beige carpet. Thankfully we own a really good carpet steam cleaner!
