Well what do you want to know? I live in the house I grew up in,bought my brother and sisters out when dad died. We have 3 acres of land,about 1/3 acre pond the way I measure it anyway,and I use to go by the name squirrelhunter but got banned and had to change my name and email to start a new account on the old site and a few others owned by that company. I was a mod on a couple of the gun forums. I don't own and never have owned a 444 but was trying to get ahold of a guy on those forums that went by four4d4 and figured he'd be more apt to reply to my PM's if I had a name about like his. I've been married 3 times and my 2nd wife died a few years ago. I love hunting and anything involving guns,fishing, trapping,just a good old country boy 😁. Anything else you want to know,just ask. 😉

I see editing while on tapatalk didn't work out right

Thanks, Glad I know who I'm chatting with since I can't remember the last time!

You're welcome

I think it's interesting to buy an old house. How old is the house?

[444lover]

I really don't know. Mom and dad bought it back in 1950 and they figured it was 100 years old when I asked Mom in the 70s. Bill which lived next door lived here when he was born which was in 1938 and the church across the road from him has 1894 above the door so it very well could be 160-170 years old if not older,now. I would think there would be some house here before they built a church but who knows.

[seminolewind]

Wow. Now that's a real and true old house! I love them. Maybe someday I'll get lucky. I'll have to get a pic of the house that is for sale in Center Moriches NY. We almost bought it about 16 years ago but they wanted a fortune for a house that had holes in the roof.

[444lover]

Yeah you've got to be careful about buying houses. I've seen several around here go for way way more than I'd thought they were worth and a lot of times there's a lot wrong with a place you don't know about until you buy it. A lot of people aren't very trustworthy when they're selling something.

After a little research I found that our little country town of Collett was platted (founded) in 1872 so I'd say our house was built somewhere around there, between then and 1894 anyway.


History

Collett was platted in 1872, at the time the railroad was extended to that point. It was named for its founder, John Collett. A post office was established at Collett in 1872, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1922.

Geography

Collett is located at 40°22′31″N 85°00′03″W.

That's cool!

I love history of all kinds, it's so interesting to see what used to be and how what is current came to be what it is.

Sebbies are sooo cool. A neighbor down the road breeds them, she wins best in show every year at the poultry show. She sells straight run goslings for $75 each and you have to buy two. She said they are hard to hatch out

[seminolewind]

Yes they are. And for fertile eggs you may have to shave the female's bottom.

Sylie, Please, I need some natural stuff to boost my immune system, and possibly vitamins as well. Thanks.

[Sylie]

HI I've been gone a few days but here are some things you can do to boost immune:

echinacea
garlic
bell peppers (red, green, yellow, color doesn't matter)
ginger
turmeric

you can get these in your produce dept at the grocery except for the echinacea and maybe not the turmeric, some carry it, some don't

if you would rather drink tea than eat these things than your best bet is going to be ginger, honey and lemon tea, boil a cup of water, wait for the bubbles to die down, add a tablespoon of grated (not the dry powdered, get the fresh root) ginger, let that steep for about 15 minutes, reheat if you want it hot, add a teaspoon (more or less to balanced taste) of lemon juice (fresh or bottled, doesn't matter here) and as much honey as you like in it, balance the 3 things for best taste by taste not amount of each (don't add a tablespoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey, it won't taste right). Drink as much as you like throughout the day.

If you would rather take a pill (I never recommend taking herbs in capsule or pill form) you can try NOW brand Immune Renew. I fully trust the NOW brand.

I have to warn you though, since I don't know what meds you take, garlic, ginger and turmeric are blood thinners so don't take them if you are already on prescription blood thinners. PM me if you need an alternative to these.

[seminolewind]

Thanks! I have increased my garlic intake the last few weeks, as well as bell peppers. I'll have to get ginger and turmeric. I will look into the NOW, but like you, I'd like fresh if possible. Ginger?

[Sylie]

You're welcome. You questioned ginger, what is your question?

[seminolewind]

Fresh grated ginger. What does it do? Like Benefits?

[Sylie]

OH, ginger has so many benefits but the main ones are things like boosting immune system, anti bacterial, anti fungal, it's warming so it's nice when you have a cold, it stimulates digestion, helps with nausea from just about any source including morning sickness, chemo treatments, flu, it has anti inflammatory properties, muscle pain, arthritis pain and swelling, improves memory and attention.

Just keep in mind that it is a blood thinner so anyone taking prescription blood thinners or a regular regimen of aspirin should not take large doses of ginger. The amount of ginger that you would put in food or in baking or whatever is fine but larger, regular doses can make your blood too thin if you take the medications like I mentioned.

I may have to start taking ginger then,I have a lot of arthritis and muscle pain.
