So glad you figured it out. I lost my mom this past winter due to medical stupidity. Long and short of it was over prescription of none necessary medication. She ended up with kidney failure, and after 5 years of dialysis and constant c-dif infections her body just gave out. I refuse to take any prescriptions until I have researched the hell out of it.


Yep, I've had a couple prescriptions backfire on me because of pill pushing doctors that will spew out prescriptions willy nilly. I had to figure it out myself and when I told them about the complications and side effects they gazed at me incredulously as if I were speaking some gibberish dialect.

Research side effects diligently before hand! Just hop on the net and do a search.

THumlers 12 Lb barrel is 5 and 3/4" diameter and 7 and 3/8 inches high (inside dimensions)
5 and 3/4" diameter and 7 and 3/8 inches high is 191.5 cubic inches or .1108 cubic feet
The mixer is 11.28 times the volume of the 12 lb barrel.  9 tablespoons for the barrel  would be 101.5 for the mixer or 6.35 cups.

rockpickerforever: You're probably right, 'dule. If I recall correctly (never a sure thing these days (insane)), I think this person said they'd joined for the express purpose of buying/selling/trading rocks since they didn't have cool rocks in their area. Apr 10, 2021 20:39:43 GMT -5
rockpickerforever: Joined, then saw the rules about selling. Probably won't be back. And then again, maybe I am thinking about a different person? Anything is possible. Apr 10, 2021 20:41:37 GMT -5
