@@Saladandfruitbowl we didn’t see the little buttons either so I figured that it might be a good idea to do this video and when the first one didn’t turn out that great according to some people and they couldn’t see it very well. I decided to do a second one.

Hopefully the concentrated version will not be too thick to get it out of a gallon size vinegar bottle. The spout of a vinegar botle is narrow and much care needs to be taken to dissolve the soap well enough so that it won't thicken in a blob in the bottle and then won't mix together as you shake the bottle. How do I know ? It happened to me. I took the bottle upstairs in a warm sunroom and let the sun warm the solution enough so that I could shake it up and pour it out. I use 2 cups for a large load of clothes.

Yes, that happened to me in using my hand-soap dispensers.

@ setting the gelled soap in a container of hot water should also thin the soap solution

I should have said it doesn’t wash can it be reset

@@darlenewatts7488 Yes It can be reset but I do not remember how to do it. I will try to find my book and get back with you if I find the book. Not sure if you pull the plug first and then reset your wash load or not.

The lid lock is a big headache. The lid lock also takes it time after the load is completely done and stopped to release the lid lock. I suspect it is at least 1 minute after the cycle stops before the lid lock releases the lid. Someone got a pretty penny for creating such a nusiance.

One thing for sure you won't see us in clean shoes. It is pretty well an impossible feat to have clean shoes around here. There are always dirty jobs that turns our shoes unsightly.

Sorry I missed your comment. Happened to see 2 on the shoes and clicked on it. Oh happy day !!!!

@@alanrobinson-r8b I loosely pack the drum with towels, hand towels,wash cloths, Dish towels and dish cloths and balance the large towels on either side evenly so the drum won’t be out of balance. Have no idea how many towels I do at a time. I just eye ball the amount for a load

Although the shasta daisies are late bloomers, they are amazing when they start blooming. lp is unique and rough around the edges but we are trying to smooth things out. Love your comment !!!

I love the old hymns too. Thank you so much for your well wishes.

Life is one big hurdle after another. Appreciate you and your comment so much. Can't help myself, I just have to say it again. I love the name Jessie as that was my wonderful grandad's name.

@@kukumaku6975 😔

Stir well before dividing into two buckets. If you don't dilute the mixture it would be so concentrated it may be too thick to pour out of the plastic bottles. Also the water needs to be hot enough and stirred long enough to completely dissolve mixture.

@bevyh1 Thank you I will do that today.

I enjoy the redder taste

@@TheTruth-l8z great idea. Thanks

All right then.

I did not see any sores but they could have been fresh out of the nest. They seemed alert for tiny babies and acted like they were foraging or checking out the back yard.

@@TheMantis1968 thanks so much for the info. I was shocked to see all those flies. I don’t see well and I thought they looked like black bugs or beetles but my husband said flies too. Humans are tortured by gnats, flies, mosquitoes and ticks to name a few so we can relate to this little opossum.

@@SirJordanLore we have a garden across the street so it is a hang out for especially the wonderful beautiful skunks. As far as the opossums not sure were they hang out the most. Will keep looking for them though.

Sparky is surely a one of a kind. He is an in your face turtle and will try to get right in.my face.

I do not know if the baby opossum would have been scared and bite and I don't know if the mother would have attacked me or if she was sleeping under the shed when the babies came out. I would think the mother could take off the bugs. If I see them come out from under the shed I will try to help if it still needs help.

Sparky is majorly wound up today.He has been chasing me around the house. He doesn't like it outside when it rains unless it is a light rain on a hot day. I don't know how he can have so much energy when he eats so little. He has done well on spring water we collect and sunshine and very little food. I thought all turtles would like fruits and veggies but not Sparky. He won't even eat our homegrown tomatoes not even the cherry tomatoes. Sparky did eat one nightcrawler in the water dish. I was so surprised. He had turned against them for years but then started eating them again on his feeding rocks. Thanks for watching and appreciate your kindness. Hugs to your Sparky.

@@bevyh1 if you try a freshly hard-boiled egg he might surprise you. My Sheldon wouldn't eat nightcrawlers until very recently. Koopa and Sparky started on red wiggles when they were small. Nightcrawlers are a lot better for them than supper worms. My Shelly always liked the super worms. I still can't get him to eat a horn worm. But Koopa and Sparky will omp up some horn worms. They love crickets but they aren't very nutritious for turtles. I've had little luck with fruit and veggies. Stone fruits seem to work best. Cherries, plums, and nectarines. Occasionally they'll eat some strawberries, blue berries, or watermelon. But they prefer their food wiggling or hopping. I've had a little luck with Zucchini and mushrooms. But not much

@@bevyh1 There must be something about the eastern. I have an ornate a three-toe and Sparky is of course my eastern. She gets all wound up but so does Shellbot. However Sparky loves people. She loves going for a ride in the car and going to the pet store to buy nightcrawlers with me. She just loves going anywhere really. But Shelly n Koopa just want to go out in the yard. They are very easy for me and my hubby to handle but they hide around strangers. Especially Koopa. Three-toes are just very shy in general. Which actually makes them the best in captivity. They don't need as much space and are content being left to themselves. I can't keep them in the same habitat now that they are adults. Although Koopa and Sparky can be together for periods of time. Sheldon is a very dominate male. He's like a dog he wants to Hump everything. Koopa tries occasionally with Sparky unsuccessfully. 😆 he's not nearly as aggressive. But Shelly always tries to dominate Koopa. And loves the sight of Sparky. So I keep her safe 😆.

@@Rareplymouth Will boil some eggs today and try Sparky on a fresh boiled egg that is still warm and see how it goes. Will mash some and leave some unmashed. Sparky is very very very picky. One time he did eat baked haddock and after that he would not eat it again. Sparky does love hornworms. One time he did eat blackberries and he used to like mulberries but he won't eat those anymore. I will try him again on peaches from the farmer but no luck so far. I think I have tried all the things you have mentioned with no luck. He doesn't like red wigglers either. Very difficult with a picky eater.

@@Rareplymouth Thanks for sharing your experiences with your turtles. The wonderful menu you offer your turtles help other to give a wide variety of fruits and veggies. All we can do is keep trying to get them to eat their fruits and veggies and occasionally even picky eaters will eat something on the menu.

I have not seen either baby out since then. I will keep looking for them and hopefully I will see them. I do not often see opossums but have seen an adult twice after the babies were out. I figure that was their first day out from the shelter of our shed and they were walking through crab apples. Some of the apples are decaying and does entice flies. They surely were still nursing as they were very tiny. Nature is cruel and it's all about the survival of the fittest.

My husband called them flies. I thought black bugs then I thought bot flies. I would like to know what they are for sure. I have seen an opossum twice since the babies were out but they must be in hiding now as I'm only seeing an adult opossum.

Yes any injury that a wild animal has can encourage opportunistic parasites.

@@DiggerX8X the texture of the body is different than the sleek body of a hummingbird. I rarely see them.

I actually thought the same thing but I am concerned that they are bot flies. I wish I would have grabbed it and got the bugs off but I thought it would get really upset. I know nothing about a baby opossum as to what they would do if you pick them up. Strangely the other opossum was not getting attacked by the bugs. There may have been something wrong with the one that was getting attack. Really don't know. I hope you are right.

We have seen an adult opossum after the sighting of the babies but don't know where the babies went. They could have been living with their mother under the shed. It is a large shed and is shelter for small wildlife like the skunks and opossums. They could have smelled the dropped crab apples all over the ground that caused them to come out from under the shed.

The point of the video was to share the baby opossums that I had never seen before. When I started the video I didn't realize that the second baby had the bugs on it. They looked very young and tiny. I was hoping that someone may know what kind of bugs they were. If I see them again I will try to get the bugs off even if the baby gets very upset. I believe the babies. most likely went back under the shed with the mother, or the mother could have been out foraging and hid when I went outside.

I figure I scared the mother when I went outside and I was glad that I have seen an adult opossum twice since when I usually don't see them and have never seen babies before so I wanted to share the experience of seeing the babies. I suspect many people have not seen baby opossums.

They are beneficial for a garden and we have lots and lots of honeybees so we are coexisting with our bee family. We just need to be respectful around the bees of their beautiful home
