    Last creepy meat question, I promise!

    Mine are 9 weeks old today. I fed them local organic feed and totally free ranged them since they were 3 weeks old. Question: They don't look as big as they should be. I was expecting really big monsters. Is it the exercise they got? (We are butchering them tomorrow.) Oh and two are...

    WAY COOL! Simple solar "plastic water bottle" lightbulb.

    Hey that is a good price compared to the ones they sell here at the naval museum. I think they were selling for $30 or more.

    WAY COOL! Simple solar "plastic water bottle" lightbulb.

    My dad was a Navy man and has a small collection of those glass pyramid "sky lights" that they used on the ships etc. They are on the expensive side, but they do the same thing. (I would love to NOT see a Home Depot on every corner frankly...but that is another issue. :P )

    slug moat

    Thanks to DrakeMaiden's tip, I picked up a 50 pound (I kid you not) box of coffee grounds from Starbucks at the grocery store. They had 2 more and asked if I wanted them. Heck I could barely carry the one! I had to put it in the grocery cart. :P Sprinkled some around my garden in...

    My dog ate a squeaker toy... :/

    :lau "Squeaker" is still normal. Took him for an hour long walk yesterday and he pooed normally. :P I'm guessing he is going to be fine. I'm totally LOVING all of these "my dog ate what???" stories. (Well, the ones that have good endings that is.) I'm going to call him Squeakers all day...

    My dog ate a squeaker toy... :/

    Now what? He is a St. Bernard, about 100 lbs. He ate a small squeaky toy probably as big as a golf ball. :barnie He never eats toys that is why I was ok with him chewing on it. He has done this a million times before and left it behind when he was done chewing. One of my last St. Bernards...

    Can you actually eat crow?

    A group of crows is called a "murder" isn't it? We have a bunch of crows (or ravens?) here too. They love to aggravate my domesticated yard birds. I know they can be brutal, but I still like them hanging around b/c they are crafty and fun to watch.

    Egg nutrition question from my big sister:

    Don't free range (the truly free ranged chickens) chicken eggs have Omega 3s? I think she is interested in the DHA aspect. Can that only be achieved by giving chickens fish meal?
