Hello!
I've tried my Facebook groups but I haven't been getting very far. Are there any suggestions for places I could order medium - large orders online, and ship to Canada? I'm having a heck of a time finding anywhere that sells Red Cranes Bill aka Geranium Robertianum.

If they also supply,
Knott grass - polygonum aviculare
Small flowering willow herb - Epilobium parviflorum

That would be a bonus but I have been able to find them more easily. Trying to help a family member sources herbs for a specific recipe so I can't substitute anything unfortunately.

I feel this is the appropriate place to vent about the wonderfully world of concussions and concussions syndrome. I had 2 moderate concussions years ago a few months apart and ended up with concussion syndrome for a long time. It took a long time to even come close to what I was before... and then the most ridiculous incident has to happen 😭 a disabled lady speeding on a mobility scooter literally ran me over in a grocery store. Whip lash, mild concussion. It's been nearly a month and I'm still struggling with symptoms.. I don't know why I was so stupid to think once it was over the last time it wouldn't be a problem. I greatly underestimated the lifelong risk and struggle. I'm so mad and upset, I feel like a damn goldfish again I'm trying to prepare to start a new job in less than a month and this was probably the worst possible timing. 🥲

I don't even know what to do with myself because I'm in a situation I can't stop everything and do black out stimulation/resting. I feel like I'm destroying myself just trying to survive and so few are understanding or even being remotely considerate. After this weekend I should hopefully be able to rest and shut down for a bit it just feels like the never ending journey getting there. 😭😮‍💨
I'm not looking for sympathy but just someone to understand, any tips are welcomed as my memory has returned to terrible and any help is tons of help at this point 😂 and yes I have seen my doctor / am still being overseen for this issue. I can't afford physio at this time but hopefully after I start work.

So I left a very crazy situation, and it's been a few months since we separated. I will admit I broke the no contact first, I was struggling with a trauma bond I fully admit to that, and I can see how the small contact I've made does contribute to the situation now. No denying, but I have always reiterated the same message that "I can't do this" , I haven't gone back to him and am feeling confident about the trauma bond being over.

However... he has been messaging me more as time goes on. Sometimes he'll go a week without contact, but then sure enough he always pops back up. I broke a 3 week no response over the weekend in a desperate attempt to reiterate: I don't want this, I can't do this, xyz things are very problematic for me...... I thought it finally did it and of course how silly of me to think an irrational human would be reasonable. Yesterday I got in total 47 messages. I did not respond to a single one, today I have received 5 thus far.

I'm waffling about blocking him... should I instead essentially suck it up, and be way more firm with myself about not answering.

Or should I risk the biscuit and see if blocking him causes a fall out? I would like to avoid involving RCMP as this is a retired officer and I already know he would make things... unpleasant.

⭐️My main concern about blocking him, is that if things escalate and he's blocked. I won't have any warning in regards to the impending escalation and can't prevent anything. I quite literally have the worst luck in the world and if things go bad, they go the ultimate bad there ever could. So I'm very geared towards how I can stay safe, while not putting myself in the dark.

Thoughts?

I profusely apologize in advance if I'm not using the correct terminology!

I've been wondering for a while now how a topic becomes an actual study. Is there a wonderful place where one can submit an idea to become a study? Are there particular places that take interest in select topics?

I am a German Angora rabbit breeder , German Angoras and a few other select rabbit breeds appear to be expressing a trait previously deemed The Random spotting Gene. There was a study about this in the 70s if I'm remembering correctly but it's incredibly hard to find (at least for me), where it was identified, but there is very little actually know about it and how to correct or isolate it. It is different than the Vienna, Dutch and white ear gene and seemingly has no clear way of dealing with it, to breed it out. Breeders who have decades more experience than I have accepted the assumption that all rabbits are possible carriers and it's simply a genetic lottery if you'll end up with it being expressed or not.

To me this seems.. incomplete like there is simply just not enough known about it yet, because Vienna for example was also believed to be impossible to remove. Though we have learnt that Vienna marked rabbits can produce a litter of rabbits that may show the gene, may be carriers of the gene, or have ones that have no copy of it. Those in question can then be crossed with a blue eyed white rabbit (where the Vienna gene comes from) and based off what is produced will show if your in question rabbit had a copy of Vienna hidden.

How can I make this happen 😅 this is truly a significant topic in the rabbit community and I would love to scientifically put the speculation and arguing to bed lol

Signed sincerely,

A rabbit lady who is sick and tired of hearing endless guesses about this dang topic.
