So, to catch everyone up to date . . I left town for a week on about 2 hours notice (family emergency) got back and had forgotten all my passwords. I have spent the past week sorting all of those out. . heheee Our gosslings are doing great. I just love them. I did try sexing them and...

Hey OkieMommy - I had to leave town for a family emergency, then when I got back had password issues . . lol. I wanted to tell you, since you are in my neck of the woods, that my neighbor's daughter works at a bakery. I have an endless suply of free food grade 5lb buckets with lids. They...

Sorry, everyone. I went out of town for a family emergency then when I got back had password issues. :/ I was able to solve the crusty bumm by washing with warm water and wash cloth as suggested. I think it was new home stress. We got our 14 baby chicks last Monday and had a few with...

Hmm, we would be good for a little while. We made it easily through the huricanes in FL in 2004, when we didn't have the SS mindset. I think we could go about a month, maybe a little more, provided we still have water. Thank you for posting this. It is good to get everyone thinking

Oooh! How exciting, Pamspride! That sounds like so much fun to watch. Congrats!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing it. I think we may start doing that as well.

So, our weekend "away" was great because we stayed in, planed some things for our property, talked about the kids and set goals for the family for a couple different intervals. We also visited a feed store we have been wanting to go to for months, but didn't want to make the hour long drive...

I am totaly new to any fowl. We picked up two gosslings on Saturday. They are doing very well in their brooder - the problem is that one has a crusty bottom. I remember reading that you have to wash that or they can get ill. So, I tried, ofcourse Thor was not very pleased with the whole...

Thank you for sharing that article. I enjoyed it :)

Yes, I am glad I didn't get electrocuted myself. My oldest son's reaction was "Wow mom, you didn't even get hurt. I would have been dead if I did that.". He is at that akward teen boy stage where his body is more like a mans and his boy self hasn't figured out what to do with those long limbs...

OK, I have a funny city slicker story to tell . . I just learned to use the chain saw. Well, I can make it run, anyway . . lol I was triming some limbs of 2 trees I felled last week and thought, "I should be careful of the power cord" That is like reading a story and seeing the very obvious...

Congrats! lots of fun. :weee

I have the third book, I love most of her ideas, but I do have to say in the first book, I think, she talks about the bread bag diaper cover - she used it in a pinch - but wow, I so would never have thought to put a bread bag over a kids cloth diaper . . I truely admire the way she can cost...

I know I am a little late, but I just discoverd this thread. I will take my 4year olds half eaten apple, cut it up and use it . .my hubby stared at me the first time he saw me do that :ep I said, hey, you will eat after the kids when they don't finish their meal, how is this different...
