I hope all the best for you and Tracy, we all have fears of what our parents we will also have. Both my parents passed before the age of 65, I'm now 62 & my sister is 72 and I have a few thinks I'm working on. We all always want more, I only have 1 acre and our house and I have two sheds on it. I think every day of buying something bigger, but I'm the main person doing it all, plus being 62 make me think twice about it. My wife wants to move closer to her children and grand babies, I want to move close to the mountains. If we do move I would like something in the 5 to 10 acre for a few reasons, one is we may build a small retail shop for my wife's second hand shop. So I'm un sure as I'm getting older and no of our children want a small homestead they all want careers, I work from home with a decent income. I do hear land in Virginia , west Virginia is very cheap. Go onto land watch you can use filters to help look at what you want. Also FB and craigs list, some places especially un developed land they will self fiancé you. There was a guy on here that would show you properties (landmodo)
@packy0462 I also love the mountains, especially in WV. For a while, we talked about moving to WV once the kids were all grown, but now that Tracy has a job she really enjoys, that's been taken off the table. I'm curious to see where this newest twist in our journey takes us, and how it unfolds for us. All these difficulties as of late have to be happening for some reason that we can't see yet
@@storybrookefamilyfarm We think we're in control of what we need or want, but little do we realize we have little or no say in the matter. At the moment I'm blessed that I work for a very large company and I work from home. That may change who knows
@packy0462 working from home would be a big blessing. We are both glad that Tracy's current job is only about 7 mins away. Her old job was 45 mins away. Having a long drive can be quite draining
Lindsay just tried planqil myself and couldn't tollerate it been on MTX for about 10 years now, prednisioine off and on for about 6 just to get my numbers back below saturation levels. But i recently went on can't recall whether its humira or enbrell wouldn't do bios because i can't trust the system and it's not like if you have a reaction you can just stop taking it tomorrow, also as a bio and w a blown out overdriven immune response I may develop a tolerance to it eventually. I think on top of RA I also have psoraiatic and my biggest triggers seem to be stress and processed foods, other than meds what seems to help best beyond a good nights rest is ginger and tumeric seem to help a bit EVOO the good stuff not the blended BS as well as garlic seems to get the vascular inflammation out first as well as garlic beets are good for blood pressure but not inflammation so much. And good omega fatties and decent proteins, which kinda sux because everything is adulterated somehow now. Like your store bought chicken they add stuff like calcium carb and whatnot to bloat it out w water so it weighs out better. really tragic whats been done to our food system.
@horseblinderson4747 I appreciate the tips and advice! Part of why we raise most of our meat, and process it ourselves is so we can be sure of what's in it, and what isn't in it. In my opinion, food is very much a medicine that doesn't need altered.
@gingerwilliams7340 I know for sure my dad wasn't. I don't believe any of my grandpas were ever in Vietnam. Personally, I think I just hit the lottery of not so great genetics lol

Sorry I don’t have much to offer for help but I was wondering and this might be a random question but was your dad or grandad in the Vietnam war?
@gingerwilliams7340 I know for sure my dad wasn't. I don't believe any of my grandpas were ever in Vietnam.
Personally, I think I just hit the lottery of not so great genetics lol
@@storybrookefamilyfarmthat’s fair, I was just curious! My EDS is merely one symptom of my father having been exposed to agent orange in Vietnam
@gingerwilliams7340 that is interesting! I confirmed with my mom, none of my relatives were in the Vietnam War
