amazing.

here is a thought for those who plan on raising a garden if times get tough, but do not have one know. Many will uproot and destroy some of the most productive and nutritional food sources to plant a garden that may or may not work and for a less nutritious crop. Learn what is growing in your...

puncture wounds should be left open and healed from the inside out. Do not let it heal over. This will not allow the infection to escape and will move deeper into the body. Make sure the wound is open and try to squeeze out any infection several times a day. Right now you need to soak you hand...

Great topic! I have always been afraid of raising sheep because of this. I have raised goats and they always seems easy in some ways when it comes to health related issues compared to sheep. Most of that is the unknown I guess. So how does one keep these conditions from happening? Do you need...

Completely disagree with you on this one. I can easily make flux using tree resin and sand to make welding rod from a coat hanger. I can then hook up 3 car batteries to weld anything I want. As for gun powder, you can easily substitute ingredients and there are plenty of recipes out there that...

Soak the ground around the stump with old deep fryer grease. You can get it from most places for free that have deep fryers. I have even seen cows eat ald red rot stumps down below the ground when covered in the oil. I used to bait bears and what we did was to cover an old red rot stump with 5...

I am fermenting my first batch of beer. I am also bopping around on the net today and am going to start my first natural sourdough.

I used to be a big dog kind of guy. Then after my wife got a Chihuahua, I learned to love them. They are better at being alert than any other dog I have owned, they eat very little and are relatively low maintenance. You do not have to worry about being sued if they bite someone. Also a...

I hate to be so commercial, but Puff's Plus tissues are worth their weight in gold and are very effective even after you have already rubbed your nose raw and bleeding.

Where is the "ignore member" feature? I have no use for Torries.

2 things from my heart: #1 It is a good day and my hat is off to Seal Team 6. #2 Pakistan can kiss my ass and I think we should give India as a sign of friendship 6 brand new stealth bombers.

I am curious to the cost of start to finish for these smaller birds. I am wanting to possibly raise them for the pelts for my own purposes of tying fishing flies. If you have experience raising them, please let me know what the costs figures are for taking them from chicks to adult, attrition...

this is funny. I guess I find good deals because I am not going in there looking for some particular thing. I go in looking for the bargains and basically something to make a buck on. Take for instance that copper bowl. I did not going looking for an egg beating bowl. I found it under a bunch of...

I stopped by the GoodWill today with my wife and we walked out of there with several good buys. #1 I found a brand new and complete MR Beer home brew kit for $15. I was just looking at these on line last week and was getting ready to spend the $85 on the exact same kit. #2 My wife found a 2...

Let's throw some ideas up for all to see on how to add a little extra money in the pockets of fellow SS's. I will start with this idea. Take a patch of ground and grow giant sunflowers. You can sell the heads at farmers markers for natural bird feeders. A small an inexpensive wire hanger can...
