When I looked into seed vaults, I noticed that I would have a hard time growing some of them, or they seemed redundant. I don't know if I want four kinds of squash. :hu Anyway, I found a place that sells seeds meant for my climate, including a kind of corn that has even been grown in Siberia...

Okay, here's one I love, but I'm not a kid and have no idea what they like. (I always have liked almost all food, even as a kid!) Anyway, it's good. Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House Dressingallrecipes.com posted by me&thegals 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons dried oregano 2 teaspoons dried...

It's true, watching ducks in water is just about the best thing ever. Even when ours were tiny, we'd put them in some shallow water and watch them have fun. When they were older, we would fill a kiddy pool for them. They were such suspicious buggers, though. After we turned off the hose, they'd...

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I went to the super natural pet store to find some way to clean Charlie's teeth. They're looking bad, and it's my fault. :( I know I need to get him on a better diet. I got some powder stuff with cheese that's supposed to break down the tarter. Anyone heard of this...

You're all so nice! :hugs I'm still up in Bellingham, and won't go back down until maybe Monday. My step-dad has a friend visiting, and Charlie doesn't like men. Yes, I am basing my plans around my cat. But I have a fear that he will actually attack someone if I push him. He yowled at my...

Our last batch of ducks never, ever got used to us. They were terrified of everything. I was younger, and very sad, because I loved to go and hold my chickens. Could NOT do that with the ducks. :(

I will admit that my solution is to take 12 hour Midol. :hide :hide I only ever have cramps the first day. But, when I do have to drag my butt out and walk around the rest of my cycle is lighter and easy. I mean, I've had three day cycles if I walk around a lot on my first day. Usually I'm at...

My mom saw a show on PBS about GM corn... It freaked her out so much! She was saying something about how GM corn makes pesticides in your stomach??

I made the powdered version first... I use only cold water washing and it did not dissolve all of the way. And it doesn't last very long. I was very disappointed. I love my liquid soap, though. It's just preference. As to the liquid being "slimy," I guess I just don't care what it looks like as...

Thanks guys! I'm sure something will. My mom wants me to move into Rebecca Shore, which cracks me up! It's otherwise known as the "Heartbreak Hotel." It's the cheapest in town one bedroom, and if you get divorced in the Harbor you move in there. I told her that I could find plenty of single...

My mom asked a simple question to her doctor at the hospital when he was showing her the rooms for giving birth. Her question was about vaccinations. He became very angry, to the point that it scared her. She never went back, and instead had me at a birthing center across the street from the...

Omg, you're building a house!? So lucky! The thought of designing and building a house to live in forever is just the best thing.

Thought that I had found a good deal, but it would be only if I could find a roommate. My mom had told me that finding one would be easy, since everyone she or I know is having financial problems. So I found a condo that if we split the price, would be $550.00 each. But now my mom is saying that...

That's great! Although at this point with so many people having allergies, it should be standard. I know so many people who can't have gluten, or dairy. I was once in a lecture when a kid jumped up and ran out... Turns out he was extremely allergic to peanuts, and someone near him opened a...

I never had any shots, nor my mom. I missed work from illness once in four years. I've done lots of research on the topic, and nothing I've ever read has changed my mind. I wrote a paper on it in college, and my editor was a nurse. When she gave my paper back, she said that she fully agreed, and...

Well drat. Went to sign papers for the duplex... When we saw it the first time there were half a dozen people working on it. The owner said he was in the process of remodeling. Um. No. I think that after we left, they put all the dirt back and left. It was in terrible condition. Not just dirty...

I got green garlic in my produce bin yesterday! It's not CSA, strictly speaking, but some of the produce is farm direct, and the green garlic was one of those. I was wondering what to do with it. Pesto sounds good. No basil with it?

Seconded. Although I know that small farms aren't always good. I got pasteurized organic whole milk from a local small farm and was amazed at how icky it was. On the other hand, the raw milk from the co-op is excellent. <--don't they look like happy cows?

I just think it's funny that you can go to the grocery store and buy cigarettes, but not real milk. There's a bit in that horrible horrible document that says that putting a warning label on raw milk isn't okay because "the risk of infection... does not arise from the misuse or abuse of the...

The sad part is that "they" have so convinced the general public that "they" truly care about the consumers health. Talk about raw milk to a random person, and they will tell you that raw milk is bad for you, and will make you sick. A co-worker and I were talking about how "they" are making real...
