Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 This is great! I love when the kids aquire a new skill...especially one that was worked on so hard. Have you ever seen the Bubble Bear? It is a great little thing that I once got from a therapy catalog, but have seen it other places too. It is a bottle of bubbles shaped like a bear, and you squeeze his belly and the bubble wand comes up and you can blow the bubbles. It is nice because you don't have to dip your fingers in, and the squeezing action is a good fine motor activity. Ours finally bit the dust after much use, but I always used to have that thing with me. Entertained many a kid...some not my own! R.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 We got a bubble bear at FAO Schwartz in NYC a few years back.....and we just got a really cool bubble elephant at the Bronx Zoo today - you dip in the wand, and then have to squeeze his tummy - the elephant blows the bubbles with his trunk! Very, very cute - and a great hand exercise. We just LOOOOOVE coming to visit our aunt and uncle in NYC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 When I was a kid we used soapy water, don't remember the combination. But blows bubbles for the cat, and we got a humongous bottle of bubble stuff at Wal-Mart awhile back for not a lot. I pour it into a smaller bottle. This was at a Walmart Super Store.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 We blow bubbles inside all winter, and on rainy days. I let them sit at their plastic play table, in the kitchen, and I mop the floor while they do it. Kills two birds with one stone. We also blow them in the living room. Since we clean the carpets pretty regularly anyway, I don't think it hurts anything at all...Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty, If your yeast sludge still has some fermented liquid with it it should be o.k. and you could still add it as an 'after-thought'. If it has dried up, however, and has been sitting for some time I shouldn't use it because it might have been contaminated by airborne bacteria. Straining at this point is not important. I only strain the finished product with a simple fine-meshed tea strainer before I fill it into bottles. There is no need to worry, Patty. Fizz does not mean that your brew is healthier, it just means that more CO2 is active in the liquid (by product of the yeast side of the fermentation itself) If fizz is important to your palate, mix the still KT with some fizzy bottled spring water. I do that for my hubby all the time. Hope you're getting on fine.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Ok, yes, the sludge is still in the last of the last batch and I did go ahead and add it. I think I am going to pull it today as I do believe it is ready to go. Bubbles aren't that important to me one way or another, I am just afraid I am not doing things correctly. Anyway, if it isn't that important, I wont worry about it. I am going through about a gallon a week just on me. Oh my how selfish. I want to start doing more at a time and start to include the animals also. I am not so sure that I can feel or see a difference with me esp as I appear to be coming down with a head cold. Overall, I seem to be doing pretty well. A week after my first chemo treatment, the primary cancer site was reduced by 1 cm. That has to be good. My hair is currently falling out which is quite upsetting but oh well. A very nice lady has loaned me her very nice wig so probably in the next few days I will be having my head shaved and start wearing that I am sorry if I ask redundant questions. I am on several e mail lists and I just am not able to keep up with all the posts. I sure do thank you who are willing to answer questions!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Thanks so much. I am sortive depressed right now. My hair is falling out in clumps!:>(( I know that there are worse things and etc but I have always had good hair that was thick and it makes me realize that there really is something wrong! Dang, I just hate this whole thing! I drink about a half gallon of water a day. I freeze it and take it with me as I prefer it cold. I think I am doing thing right. I will go and buy another gallon of pickles, which I don't like but I have a friend that I will droop those off to and her kids will eat them right down. Then I can have 2 gallons brewing. Now I have to do something re storage. I have been looking for a siphon (I know that is not the right worked, what do I want to say?) Anyway, that is the next big challenge and then to start to taking some with me to work and etc. I really do like the taste. Thanks for the help. It is nice to able to ask when the situation comes up for me.
