Today we are turning out an animal for the first time! We also catch up with Ransom about everything on the farm. Unfortunately the heatwave got the best of us and caused our iphone to lock up from the heat, messing up our live..
I did the W-30, I discovered that I have an allergy to legumes (beans and peanuts). Mind you, I grew up eating pinto beans since birth. Changing my eating habit really made me feel like I had more energy. Keep it up Cassy...
Brilliant! thanks for reporting back - I always wonder when ppl ask for prayers, then hear no more - probably more to do with me not reading every comment! - just don't be going dancing yet nor carrying anything ;)
Good job, Ransom. It’s tough being your age with scary things. Learn the signs and animal gives when they have different emotions. That way it won’t be so scary.
As for cleaning up after the kids, I'd put less on their plate. They can always ask for more once their plate is cleaned. I used to make sun tea. I loved it. Don't have enough sun to make it now. Tell Mazzie if she is in a situation where there isn't sweet tea, to ask for a cup of hot water. Mix sugar in the hot water to dissolve it and add it to her tea. Oh I'd love to be able to keep my temp at 72 ac and 68 heat but my brother would freeze lol! Great video guys! God Bless and Love ya! ❤❤
I love sun tea. Luzianne is the best. In my early 30’s, living in Tennessee, I was addicted to sweet tea. Now I cannot stand the sugar. When you get used to plain tea, you cannot go back to sweet.
Cracks me up that the chairs, water bottle labels, Cassie's watch and even your T-shirt's logo all matches and yes, love the black on you two. You both looks great today! Even your teeth popped! 😂❤
I will share with you that three nurses at different times when my mother was in hospice dying of colon cancer, tell me to please stop all the artificial sugar. They said real sugar is not made with chemicals. I got to admit I seen a change in my body when I did. Like anything I don’t over do drinks with sugar. I do drink little cans of pop, which I keep around the house just so if I crave for a pop, I drink sweet tea in a bottle called “Gold Peak Tea, with real sugar”. I put a few bottles in the fridge and pour some in a cup, I don’t drink a whole bottle in one setting. It’s very good tea. 🧋 I also drink grape 🍇 propel, keep a few in the fridge to pour into a cup, then good ole cold water 💦. Bella is really growing, she really reminds me of our Border Collie Sadie, who was smart as well. Sadie was such a good dog. Please also keep my husband Patrick in your prayers. 🙏🏻 The time off from cemo has helped him a lot. The next appointment they will decide where his cemo treatment goes through his blood work. Thank you ✝️
I keep mine on 78 and have fans on in the rooms I'm in. I can't handle cold temps. I'm on fixed income and have to really watch my utilities. Cassie you'll cool down by 20% when you get out of your black dress. Love you guys!!
I like seeing you a dress every now and then Cassie... we are in winter here, but our winters are very mild and only last about 4 weeks and then it starts to get hot again... I don't like the cold at all... Good luck with your Bourbon Reds, they are very pretty... Cheers for sharing and God Bless...
My thermostat is set at 55 degrees and only switch it from cool to heat and back. I pay a little more in the summer but with gas heat I make up for that in the winter. There are plenty of throw blankets for guests lol.
We live near Austin, Texas. In the summer thermostat is at 77°, and in the winter it is at 70°. Love your two channels, and God bless you with a great big blessing.
72 thermostat in summer all day in eastern Virginia and 67ish in Winter all day. I would rather see my breath in winter than be too hot in house. But I am at an age where I am trapped in a rain forest at all times.
I'm extremely frugal and live in the Deep South. In the summer, my thermostat is set at 81- 83. If the house is cooler than the outside, I'm good. In the winter, I turn the thermostat as far down as it will go, which is 55, and I bundle up. I've gradually adapted over time to heat and cold. Plus, it saves me money.
Caught the live at the last three minutes!! Just watched the replay. I would have jumped and squeeled if that biggo buggo and jumped on/ at me and I'm A tough old lady! Being startled like that can save your life.... Or keeping grasshoppers from tangling in your hair😉 😉👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤🙏🙏💕❤
I am from the south and I love unsweet tea. It has always been that way because I was raised on sweet tea, but being a diabetic, I had to change my habits and now I love tea it all depends on what you are used to
When I'm hot (and probably dehydrated) I like to put a couple of teaspoons of OJ in the bottom of a chimney glass (tall but narrow diameter), fill with ice, then add basically room temperature water. I like to drink with a straw about halfvway down the glass so,thst just a kiss of the orange juice comes up the glass. Of course with all the ice, you dont get much for water so ill often refill with water 1 to 3 times before its time to add a kiss more oj.
We keep our thermostat on 69 degrees year round it's been in the 90s here in West Virginia for the past seven days but the humidity has been real high here
Most restaurants in Canada do not serve iced tea, and it is usually found in the pop section of a grocery store in bottle form. In the 80s and 90s powdered pre mixed iced tea was very popular. It was like 90% sugar or higher. it’s still around but I think my teeth would ache forever if I try to drink it now
I am from Ohio a long time ago, and we made Sun tea. Have not made any for years, Always like it. Sweet tea was not a thing. We could make it sweet by adding sugar. When I moved south that is when I found out about sweet tea.
You both looked so nice today. Cassie I like your dress. Perrier sparkling water helped me stop drinking soft drinks. It tastes like a mild beer to me. I have tried the canned sparkling waters but I just don’t like drinking from a can. Maybe in a glass over I’ve? I also drink unsweet tea with lots of lemon. A lot of times you just have to try to acquire a taste for new things. The one thing I have tried over and over again to develop a taste fur but can’t are avocados! I wish I could because they are so nutritious. God bless you 😊❤
Sun tea is good, haven’t made it in years. La Croix is awesome, really like the lime and grapefruit ones. I keep the thermostat at 73°. Still walking my dogs in the early morning before the heat. Heat makes my pain worse. I have a nest in the porch eaves also, a little wren. Kept blowing out the starts until I saw an egg break. It was as big as the tip of my little finger. Always great catching up with you guys, stay cool. Love and prayers 🙏🏼💜
I'm from Indiana and I only drink plain tea. When we moved to Tennessee and asked for regular tea, they brought me sweet tea. Here you have to ask for tea with no sugar, sweet tea is a regular drink here.
In the summer air is on 70⁰ and in the winter 68⁰ to 70⁰ depends how cold just outside Chicago. It gets cold. I have newer windows purchased in the last 8 yrs
Those birds in the nest may be swifts. We had them build a nest in the corner of our covered porch. They are great for keeping the mosquito population down. Supposed to come back to the same nest year after year. I left them alone since they took care of the mosquito problem.
I've heard of sun tea, but as a native New Englander, i usually drink hot tea. I never have iced tea in that part of the country. I always have southern style sweet tea on the rarer times I have cold tea. I generally have soda for a cold drink i never have Dr Pepper because it has laxative effects on me - i zcrually call it Dr Pooper 🤣😂🤣 To Cassie: whenever I've had to wear a dress, i wear shorts underneath. It helps me to feel more comfortable.
I get the same swallows every year and I'm tired of them. They poop on the patio..one baby seems to always fall or get pushed out of the nest. I scraped their nest off the wall this year and I swear they built it back within 6 hours. I keep my thermostat at 76-77 during the day and 68 at night. I've always heard your AC will only cool your house 20 degrees colder than the outside temp. Mine will stay on all day if I don't turn the temp up some.
Temperature settings for summer optimal is around 20 °C, so 70°F seems right for comfort. In winter given generally a lower temperature would match tendency that basic clothing is worn warmer in style, and not needing stripping and putting on all but jackets or coats, and corresponding shoes each time entering or exiting from/to outside is desirable. Winter setting should be at around 15°C, 60°F thus seems good. Sadly many public buildings, libraries, shops seem to do the precise opposite many times. Even pushing the boundary summer 13°C, so 55°F and 25°C, 75°F (even actually 77°F). This given clothing being worn due to outside conditions leads to discomfort. Using these settings makes summer at 55°F make you shiver if coming to rest or seeek to put on a jacket or somethimg warmer than what was comfortable in hotter outside. The winter setting up at 75°F wearing the clothes you had coming in from outside soon makes yyou perspire and feel hot, making you take off some warmer clothing, even more than just the jacket or coat. Not only uncomfortable but VERY energy wasteful, demanding more AC power to cool more, in summer, and considerable energy for all that increased heating in winter. Infact for better energy use, the recommended summer 70°F and winter 60°F could both reduce by 5°F for most people to remain in comfort state especially at night. A considerable saving on costs for heating/cooling. In my colledge years for example the library and lecture theaters were such flipped summer/winter state. In the library you shivered in summer unless taking a jacket, cardigan along from your locker and winter making sure to strip off any warm gear, else you perspired enough to drip onto your work and books, worse still over hours of project research and report writting you got drowsy and dozed off into sleep. Lectures dozing off meant missing part of the lecture, and chattering teeth made for oor concentration. My own choices are even more extreme but that is not for everyone. Especially night, sleeping time. Rather an extra blanket or doona in winter, and just a cotton sheet or nothing in summer and keep rooms cooler in winter, and barely AC controlled on only hottest, humid nights, and no AC on moderate weather. In my house there is NO CENTRAL HEATING OR AIRCONDITIONER. Winter occupied rooms only get heated by electric fan heater, or oil radiator panel and that only for weather under 15°C, 60°F. We used to have a gas fan heater for the lounge/dining room, it aged and gas supply line developed a leak, so that is now no longer active some 10 years or more. As far as AC, never in past 63 years needed it. Unless temperatures exceed 30°C, 86°F , especially when we get our heat wave summer of many sequential days over 40°C, 104°F, with nights not that much cooler, say 36°C, 97°F, then at night electric fan is left on, house is anyway ventilated overnight if getting warmer during the day inspite of insulation. If nights fall properly to under 30°C, 86°F as most commonly happens that kees the home comfortable enough, yes it is a bit warm but fan air circulation works well enough in all but high humidity. As we are in southern regions of Australia, not the tropics up north, our hottest conditions tend to be dry air, blown down from the arid central Australian Outback as we call it. Sydney and further north get quite humid and AC is more essential. I presently have winter and my bedroom runs around 10°C to 13°C, 40°F to 45°F, and while in the lounge a small 1kW to 2kW fan heater manages comfortable 20°C, 70°F. Sleeping is snug warm with two blankets and a doona. My energy costs are thus quite moderate. Just wear warmer or cooler clothing to suit the season. Mankind gas done quite well for thousands of years without expensive complete home AC and Central heating, running 24/7 12 months each year. By the way have 1 cold at start of winter, each year and have not had Flu in living memory, not immunised. When by work circumstances had to live in AC places, have multiple colds occuring any time of the year.
We used to make sun tea all the time when I was younger. I love it! I got hooked on sweet tea the last few years! So good!😊. My oldest daughter loves it also! I quit drinking Coca-Cola and switched to sun tea. No sodium in sweet tea. I heard you call soda, Pop Cassie. That's what they call it here in North Dakota too. In New Mexico they call it Soda. 😊. God bless always y'all!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Ransom you should go make friends with the new turkeys. Welcome them to the farm and them a treat. Start off positive. Don't prejudge based on what other turkeys have been like. These may turn out to be new friends.
Often our bodies have slight disagreements (allergy, digestive biome, sugars, etc... ) with individual foods or food groups which we don't recognize. When reintroducing them after abstinence those disagreements are recognizable enough to identify them.
Sun tea is the best! You don't even have to put it outside or in the sun. Gallon glass jar or plastic pitcher , hot water, 3 tea bags, I add sugar when I do my hot water so it mixes up well. Sit it on the counter for 1 hour. Mom and dad have a gallon in their refrig all the time. Try Pepsi it's the best! Glass jar is heavy and hard to pour, but Gary is farm strong 💪.
Cassie - I have to do without dairy. Especially cheese. I'm on a opioid pain pill that causes constipation. Cheese also tends to aggravate that condition. So after 3 years of no cheese of any kind, that means pizzas, bagels w/cream cheese, etc... It still bothers me. Yet I cannot function with the pain. I am still in pain even with taking the medication, but it does dull it and take the edge away. Hi and hugs to Sweet Bella.
Sun tea is fine but I can pop a saucepan on the stove and have iced tea brewed and ready to drink in 20 minutes. Sweet tea is to much for me. I’m in Pennsylvania so I’ll sweeten my tea but it is nothing compared to what your sweet tea is. I was visiting a friend and they offered me a glass of iced tea, I swear they might as well have just mixed a 5 pound bag of sugar w/water and drank that. Way too sweet for me. Being disabled I am not able to burn calories as much as others can, so I use Stevia to sweeten everything.
I have thyroid imbalance , pre-diabetic (only do to prednisone steroid to control my asthma symptoms in emergency situations) I didn't know that prednisone raises your blood sugar. Also had a severe knee injury for 4 months and was given steroid shots in my knee to control the inflammation and pain. Once again it raised my blood sugar. I have not had any soda since my physical test results came back. My cardiologist put me on a vegetarian diet to help control my high cholesterol ,pre diabetes ....ect and I have lost weight so its working. The high protein low carb diet was no longer working for me anymore. I love my sweet tea (sun tea) in the summer time. It's been 95 where I live I've got kiddie pools out for the ducks and dogs and I hoes down the chickens when they start panting they get overheated. I don't let them free range all day do the heat stress. And everyone get watermelon 🍉 for a treat to cool us down.
I don't use sugar and don't buy food that has sugar. It took some getting used to but coffee and tea without sugar was the hardest, but now I like it 😊 I was diagnosed with diabetes 6 months ago, but now with a good diet and no sugar and chromium with the prescription meds my blood sugar is normal. I'm working on getting off the prescription meds and only taking the chromium. So far the prescription meds have been lowered,so I'm on the right track. How and what we eat and drink is so important to our health. Blessings and love..❤😊
I've heard of Sun Tea but I don't like any tea. I also don't like coffee. When I was little my parents owned a small store. The teenagers would put peanuts in their pop.
Summer AC setting is 75 during the day and 72 at night. Winter settings are day 73 and 68 at night. My electric company says I have a great rating compared to houses with my similar size. This past week my AC has rarely quit running.
I drank sun tea for my 1st 30 yrs. I havent made it in 15 yrs but I guess I should. I love sweet tea too but Im diabetic now so I have to use artificial sweetener. I must say, I only use about half a packet in 40 oz of tea. I used to drink Dr Pepper a lot but havent had a single soda since 2005. I just cant do carbonation anymore.
I like your dress Cassie! It’s cute! I drink unsweet tea too. I was raised on it. It’s all my Mama made. So, you don’t miss what you never had. Still love it. I even drink a cup of hot unsweet tea every morning.
I keep my air on 69. My pomeranian has a collasped trachea and has to be cool to breathe better. My husband always tells me he has icicles on his nose. Lol
You can make simple syrup to sweeten some of the tea. I'm guessing it's not approved on whole 30. We used to make sun tea all the time and I'm in North Dakota.
Cracker Barrel isn’t fast food. It’s good there. I like sun tea, but I don’t drink much of it. You can add sugar while it’s hot from the brewing. I like hot tea, even in the summer. I keep my home AC at 74 or 73 during the day and 68 at night. Good luck with your 30 day diet. Not good for diabetics. 🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
I gave up all cola pop over 25 years ago, and then gave up the rest like Root Beer, Sierra Mist in June 2019. I still don't drink pop and honestly I don't miss it. I drink 1 or 2 cups of coffee a day. I drink mostly water all day.
Drink your sweet tea but try 1/2 cut. Is half the sugar. 1/2 way to your new way of living. Before you know it cut that in 1/2. Keep cutting in half till ta day it's all tea.
