Have a relative with us from SA. I'm keeping under the radar - the con is strong there, so biting my tongue. Today heard about the dreaded rabbis. Poor seals, I'm surprised it isn't brought on by avian flu spreading seabirds. There is also a big thing about fitness and the watches that track everything to give you data on how you can live healthier. Funny it doesn't mention not having the stabs. But it does reward you for spending less money, using less fuel - uhuh. Oh and long convid gives you heart issues, strokes and breathing difficulties - and stomach issues. Really? Arghhhhh - wake up!
I also had a long lecture about viruses and how they work Deaths by monkey pox and all that jazz. Oh look, squirrel! Husband became a nodding donkey. On the other hand I did my bit about using free medicines from our patch. I picked a load of nettle seeds and was putting them in the freezer. Good source of Vit C, antihistamine, I think anti-oxidants but a general good thing to have in tea/salad/ soup. I then did a lecture on other herbals. She was very receptive to alternative meds!
Nettles have two sides to them - male and female and no trans etc in between. The female plants have the little green tassels that hang down whilst the male plants have more sideways flowers (well sort of flowers, looks a bit like pale grey/green coral) and are . . . stiff, ahem! The seeds are like tiny little green balls - I called them pearls! I did go through checking for spiders and insects - removed a few green aphids (well camouflaged). I've already got dried leaves for tea and my husband has made soup for me (a bit like watercress soup and I sometimes add a bit of cream). I think the tea tasted a bit like nori seaweed - which is fine because I like sushi! The dried leaves still have a bit of a tingle (I tested chomping some) but no sting. I did eat some raw seeds - if you do that, not the tip of the tongue - place further back! Apparently helps arthritis too - but even better is to sting the area. Um, not going to test that, my fingers were still tingling after I'd gone to bed, although taking the seeds off the stems gloves were worn. I gather you can make string type fibre from mushing stems too.
Haha, you had me at:

As you say, wake up world!

I am fascinated by your reference to nettle seeds, I must remember that.

Trump & Biden are both going to get their message from the almighty soon enough BM. Mocking is not tolerated.

Well spotted, thank you, and now changed.
