Hello, welcome to the forums!

Wow that's neat. I didn't know one could go on missions so soon after joining. We are getting baptized soon. I don't think I would be near confident enough to try to teach others. I feel like I barely know anything and I read everyday.

I was raised in Seattle and have also lived in Idaho, Montana, and Nevada. I would never, ever move back. People are rude, it's difficult to make friends (it is a very cliquey town), the weather is crappy and the traffic is worse. Going anywhere is a giant problem. The cost of living is unbelievable. We own a home in Idaho and Nevada, yet we couldn't afford a SINGLE home in the Seattle area. Rent for a 1 bedroom 800 sq ft apartment was almost 1600 a month, and that was in a crappy area in the suburbs.
The only redeeming qualities are that the scenery is beautiful and green, there are thousands of hiking trails, multiple skiing areas, and thousands of miles of bike trails. The outdoor recreation possibilities are endless...so long as you don't mind doing them in the rain 7/8ths of the year.

Eggs that are mass produced are "candled" it is the process of passing an egg in front of a bright light. Usually if the egg has blood in it the blood will show up and those eggs are discarded. That is why you do not often find them in the eggs you buy in the store. It is not common but does happen. You can do the same with the eggs produced by your chickens. Hold the eggs close to a lit light bulb and look through the eggshell. Something interesting to try.

For the record the eggs are not discarded, they simply aren't sold in the shell. They are used in processed foods such a cookies/cake/etc where appearance isn't important. It would be a huge waste and economic disaster for farmers if we threw out every egg with a blood spot lol.

My husband has lost 50 pounds this year doing the atkins diet. He has now successfully switched from low carb to healthy eating with healthy carbs. You can lose a lot of weight really fast doing atkins, but you then have to transition successfully to carbs and fewer calories and/or more exercise, which a lot of people fail to do and just end up yo yo dieting. Atkins can be a great shortcut to a thin body, but real lifestyle changes have to take place to maintain it.

The red spot is just a little bit of blood from the hen. It is not fertile at all because there are no roosters. Anytime you find blood spots in an egg it is just because there was a slight mistake during the egg making process. This becomes more common as hens age, but there is nothing wrong with it and they are still edible.

My family loves Silverwood--but we're not moving to ID just for that...also, good to have a fellow law enforcement person in the house. Blessings.
If you're moving to Coeur d' Alene I have a house you can buy LOL! 2300 sq ft in downtown with hardwood floors and .21 acres ;-)
We just moved to Nevada and we still need to rent and/or sell our old house.

That's funny, we just did the opposite. We moved from Idaho to Nevada!
