    Will they foreclose in this economy?

    I don't know much about foreclosure, but I have heard over and over that the worst thing you can do if you're having trouble making payments is to just stop paying and not be in contact your lender. I guess communication is key. He needs to get on the phone with someone at Chase and explain...

    What is this 2012 thing I keep hearing about?

    Normally I won't let myself get sucked into these end of the world discussions, but I did see a documentary about 6 months ago (can't remember what it was) and for some reason the whole Mayan calendar thing came up and the Mayan chief or head of the Mayan nation or whatever he was called was on...

    Topic? What topic? Was there a topic? Oh right, DEBT FREEDOM! :lol: Anyway, thanks me&thegals for taking the time to explain your refinancing process. I'm going to show it to my husband and talk it over. I just can't wait to get past this mortgage!

    That's a great rate me&thegals! Can you explain a little about what you had to do and what it cost you to refinance? My husband and I are wondering if we should be trying to but we don't even know where to begin!

    Lots of use from little land.......

    I live on just under 2 acres so your post caught my attention since I'm also trying to figure out how to get lots of use from little land! One thing to keep in mind if you're considering chickens is that you don't need a flock of 20 chickens, like many people usually get. If you're interested...

    What ads will this thread generate? organic

    My favorite ad of all was on a BYC thread about eggs freezing and breaking in the nest boxes before people had a chance to go collect them. The ad at the bottom of the page was for a "Frozen Egg Donor Bank" you know, for womens eggs to be frozen for later use to make a baby! I wonder if I can...

    If you have any extra time at all put in for subbing for support staff at the local schools, or put in for per diem work at the local hospital or nursing homes, or even offer some volunteer time to these places, if you think you might have any interest at all at working for one of them if you...

    What did you do to save $ today?

    If I were you I'd activate those scissors, snip, snip, snip! Neither my husband nor I have ever had a credit card in all our 13 years of marriage and we've never regretted it (and we have great credit). If you need something in order to order items online or whatever, get a debit card.

    Jelly for nutrition?

    82 jars? Oh my! I'm sure jam is a little bit more nutritious, since you're getting the natural fiber because there are still pieces of fruit in it, but I would imagine that just like with jelly, the heat kills off most of the nutrients. I agree with you though, I find jam much easier than jelly.

    Home made yogurt...

    In case anyone is wondering, here's Miss Prissy's recipe from BYC. I make it pretty much every weekend and it always comes out perfect. I think the most important thing is that you have a good accurate candy thermometer. If you like your yogurt flavored I suggest a little maple syrup and...
