    Who reads what we write?

    Hey, I play CA! Or more like I used to. I had worked to get my stats so high (for back then) that I really tried to hang onto it, but honestly I just don't have time. I probably run down my energy and stamina once a month now. At least I still get points from being attacked while I'm gone, LOL...

    Who reads what we write?

    I do like having a cell phone. Mostly it's a very handy notepad cuz I always keep it with me and I don't need a pen. Ive got a full file of notes of prices of things I commonly buy. It's also a camera, Internet access, pocket Bible, and I can even play games on it if I am waiting somewhere and...

    Goat Jail (PIX)

    Sorry the bobcat got the kid. :( Thanks for sharing this though, and it looks very strong! I'm getting ready to move my goats back to the pasture at night, and will probably make something similar. Thank you!

    Strawberry Fields (Poisoned) Forever

    Ok, you had to go and remind me. Not that I actually forgot ... Read that when it first came out. I love strawberries ... So this year I got several dozen little whatcha-ma-callums (the little dried bits that are supposed to grow plants?). None did. Second year I've gotten no strawberries. I...

    Who reads what we write?

    Love the sign, icu! I'm not worried about view to post ratio being high. I expect that. But if I understand correctly, you are saying that certain KINDS of posts have a much higher ratio? That would be interesting ... As for Internet security. Ugh. I try to be as careful as possible in forums...

    Kids or No Kids? How did you know?

    As far as what the men think, I'd be interested to know too. But in my opinion, that is one of the most important things two people need to agree on before they reach the point of marriage. I dunno, maybe I tend to overthink and overplan many things. But I think a number of things need to be...

    Forum Updates: They are here - Report Problems In This Topic

    Maybe the update just reset "recent"? Today I have 4x as much as last night. Still not what is normal. But I had recently visited before the update too. So when I hit "posts since last visit" I still only got a few. I think maybe it's a non-issue that will resolve itself as more people post...

    Forum Updates: They are here - Report Problems In This Topic

    Normally I check in once to a few times a day, and always load recent posts. I usually have a long page (I think I'm set to 99 or 75 or max topics per page, verified that I'm set to 75 now). There are only a few topics listed as new now. Not sure if it's a setting, a bug, or if your updates...

    Duckling update~we're done at 2!

    And BB has a good point. They may all be stinky goo. I'd open them carefully and be prepared for that, since I'd hate to be wrong and toss babies. Rotten eggs ARE nasty, but ... I've dealt with a good many of them busting and I guess IMO it's not the end of the world and I'd open them anyway.

    Duckling update~we're done at 2!

    They all started incubation at the same time? I've had a few days' variation (up to 4 I think) in hatching viable babies. Almost a week late and kicked out of the nest? If that's the case, I think I would pull the eggs. Being me, I'd probably candle them. And depending what I saw from...

    Cool Summer Dinner Idea (PIX)

    Beautiful! I rarely get to make "pretty food" but that looks wonderful, and sounds nice and cool too. :)

    Kids or No Kids? How did you know?

    I always knew I wanted to be a mother. I'm not sure about other kids, but my playtime fantasies as a child always included being a mother. I did wait a long time to have children though. I wanted to be prepared, and financially ready. Then I finally realized -- you never are. Yes, they...

    Counteract caffeine jitters?

    Thanks, WBF. I've been sipping water and peach/cranberry juice, and had some bits to eat. Been doing that all day actually ... Sigh. Still the same so far. At least it WILL go away sooner or later. Maybe you are onto something with food allergies? I went for groceries yesterday (to the city)...

    Growing Onions

    I read (I think on this board or sister site) that bigger sets are more likely to bolt. I think I saw that in a seed catalog or plant book too. So you want smaller ones actually? Not an expert here ... My onions are still in the ground but they are toast, lol.

    Counteract caffeine jitters?

    Ugh ... I am not sure what's wrong with me. I drank a cup of coffee this morning, with grits and bacon. I don't drink coffee often, and when I do it's usually only 1/2 cup. I do like to mix cocoa powder in my coffee. Total coffee consumption so far during 2011 is probably 5-6 cups. I REALLY...

    Where do your hens nest?

    I have four very large wooden nests ... Sort of like if you stacked two large crates on their sides, then two more on their sides on top. Works for me because I very frequently have broody hens, and the nests are large enough that I can put a door on and the family can live there for a few days...

    Florezian: I found land!

    I wanna live there! Wait, I already do. Welcome!!! And I'm with you. Those lawns are a waste of space, money, and time, and disastrous to the environment at times. As far as "active" vitamins ... I take natural vitamins with chlorella and spirulina added that had me feeling -- well, not...

    Animal Bedding

    Pretty low-tech here. I put dried leaves in the chicken coop, which are pretty much broken down now and the floor is maybe 1/2 inch higher. I raised the floor anyway, since it COULD flood if we ever got lots and lots of rain. Eventually one day I may shovel some out for the garden but it would...
