1. Can't up and go somewhere: When my husband and I go on vacation we ask a family member or friend to stop by and feed the chickens. In exchange they get all the eggs they lay and we usually give them a little money too. 2. Extensive repairs: check with your home owners insurance. I know...

Go to your profile page, edit profile, contact information and then it has a place to list websites.

I wasn't really impressed. If you can still buy produce, meat and dairy from the farmer's market and rice, sugar and flour from a buying club then you are not really doing without groceries at all. The son was still eating junk food and soft drinks at friend's houses. I have three people in...

I have just finished 7 pints of muscadine sauce and 2 and a half pints of muscadine jelly.

She is a beautiful baby!

Beanie, thanks for posting Chicken Scratch. It brings home some things that I needed to hear. Wannabefree, glad you had a good time. I know what you mean about being the only smoker in a group. I quit smoking on January 1 this year. It was not as hard to do as I thought and I love that I am...

Can I post a prayer request please? My husband has a job interview this Thursday at 10:15. It would mean an extra $10,000 per year for our family. I am asking if you will pray that if it is God's will that he will get this job. Thank you!!

Laura Ingalls was the first thing that popped into my mind too. I say go for it!

I saw a documentary on the 'hot coffee' case. It was a lot worse than just some hot coffee in the lap. Here's a picture of her legs after the coffee spilled. It not only burned her legs... ahem, you know it burned something else. BUT - this guy at white castle is NOT injured in any way he...

I hope as all of you are saying your goodbyes to these goods and services that you will keep in mind that that is someone's job. That is what is making it possible for someone (ME) to put food on the table for their family. It is not just a big federal company it is people. People that need...

I love my clothes line too! I do have a clothes dryer for use when it is an "emergency" as in "Mama, I don't have any clean blue jeans for school because I was to lazy to bring them to the laundry basket" kind of emergency! But, I rather hang clothes on the line. My husband makes me crazy...

I like what everyone else has said. Especially don't waist your time and energy growing food that you don't like to eat. There are some things that are not practical to grow unless you have lots of land too. For example, in my garden (it is 20x65) I have basic veggies but it is not practical...

We are really not ready. At the very end of last winter our heater broke. "They" came out to fix it and said it was going to cost $600. That is a LOT of money to us! So we put it off... not smart but you know, you do what you have to do. Now we have saved up and we are ready to get some...

I don't really have a great routine either. My day starts around 6:45am or whenever a cat decides to jump on my head and ends around 11:00pm. I work 6 days a week and on Sunday I go to church. I manage to get everything else done in between. I try not to ever get so busy that I forget what I...

My Mom was 67 when she was diagnosed too. She started taking the drugs that are supposed to help and while they did help her memory she lost her appetite and lost 60 pounds in a matter of a few months. The doctor cut her dosage and she has really done much better ever since. Her memory has...
