Fellas, Is August Too Early To Decorate For Halloween?

Tincture of Alehoof

Glechoma hederacea, or Ground Ivy (called Alehoof because it was used in beermaking before hops) Is, among many other things, an astringent herb. This is my recipe/experiment for making a toner for the skin using it.

Gathering

Ground ivy grows everywhere as a weed in temperate parts of Europe and America

Preparation

Wash your plants and remove dead, dirty, and damaged parts (right into the compost)

Roughly chop, adding to a jar as you go

Finally, add ethyl alcohol or vodka (70% alcohol or higher is best) to your jar leaving little room, cover, label, and wait a few days. After the jar is very dark in color, strain out your plant matter into another jar, and you should be left with a jar of your tincture!

We need to better educate kids on the importance of animals that are typically hated because otherwise you end up with adults who think hating wasps is a personality.

Emergency!!!

I haven't been able to pay rent for the last 2 months. Nothing at all. Now it's October.

My landlord called at 7:30pm tonight and threated me with a days to cure or quit!

My past due rent with late fees are $4300 and my October rent is another $2000.

I know it's a lot but not insurmountable. We can't move. My 76 year old mom can't be homeless. I'm in an intolerable position but hI have to make this work. I don't have a choice.

This is a crisis of monumental proportions.

Anything you can do is appreciated.
