    Plastic coffee cans and bleach bottles

    When I have a temporary rabbit population explosion I use similar containers (not bleach but coffee would work) for both feed and water. Or when I have to lock up more broodies than I planned, or a rooster. Being springtime I think I have about a half-dozen such containers in use. I also use...

    Bubblingbrooks Journey - Salut!

    Still trying to catch up on what's going on with everyone so my replies are slow but ... glad to hear things are go so well with your little one. She looks like a little angel -- that smile! -- in the pic in her Grandma's dress. Beautiful. You are so blessed! :) Sorry to hear about wayward...

    How to save money while MOVING across the country?

    Oh, one more thing. Most places have these little free magazine-type deals with hotel ads by city. They are often set up on little stands in Truck Stops and McDonald's -- especially on highways outside the city. They are regional and usually cover a three-state or so area. That is often a good...

    How to save money while MOVING across the country?

    I've moved across the country THREE times, LOL. Don't even ask why. ;) Good tips here. If you decide to go with truck/trailer rental, call ALL the companies. Ryder tends to be cheaper than U-Haul but ... I made a spreadsheet. If your dates are flexible, check different dates. Also look for...

    How are the gas prices in your area?

    Seems it just went DOWN here? It's been around $3.84 but today I passed three stations selling for $3.71 and $3.72. I can't decide if I should fill up QUICK or see if it comes down more.

    Hen23's Journal~Goodbye

    So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, and how it all came about. Shame that guy was so thoughtless and to put his own wish to be important above the feelings of everyone who would be affected. :( I'm glad your hubby talked to his mom and sister. I hope you are doing ok with dealing with...

    WANTED!!!CHOC FUDGE AND CHOC BROWNIE RECEIPE'S..

    I switch up brownie recipes, but one thing I DO like to do is add chocolate (often I use Giardelli's dark chocolate large chips) and I chop some pecans as well. I think about a cup of chocolate and 3/4 cup pecans. I love the truffles. And where's the recipe for ten-minute goat milk fudge? Was...

    How much fodder to grow?

    If I'm not wandering too far afield, it gets back to something I've wondered about. When goats get into chicken feed, it's a disaster, right? Goats can and sometimes do die from eating not-huge quantities of chicken feed. My goats have never gotten chicken feed, but the does (when out of...

    How much fodder to grow?

    Interesting article. If I can ever manage to raise a cow, I want it to be primarily grass-fed. It just seems to me the animals are healthier eating what they are designed to eat. I've processed mainly chickens and rabbits around here. I'm quite pleased with the Roos raised by silkies that I...

    Bubblingbrooks Journey - Salut!

    Oh, goodness. :( Horrible neighbors. Sigh ... That's so sad, and sick. And speaking of sick, sorry to hear you are coming down with something and the little one is not feeling well either. I hope you're both better by tomorrow, or else that you don't HAVE to go out and about a lot of folks...

    Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

    Wow ... Sorry to hear all of that. I've had two bosses like that. Neither of which I had to spend TOO much time with, so it was bearable. Both paid well enough and I needed both jobs. But I never understand a boss that seems to need to verbally kick folks like some people go home in a bad mood...

    Blanket for New Baby Hadassah (PIX)

    So cute! Soft fleece with a satiny edge. I love baby things that FEEL nice as well as look nice! And the gift bag really does go perfectly. :) I won't say ANYthing about procrastination. Seeing as how I'm usually running so far behind I'm about to catch up to myself on the back stretch, lol.

    How much fodder to grow?

    I'm afraid I don't know either. It would be nice if there were charts per animal where you could calculate that sort of thing? I'd just love to FIND mantels, lol. Good luck with your project. I'm trying hard to move in that direction too!

    Cat Issue - Update

    Would you consider giving her plain yogurt? Whether it's stress or sickness, having a dose of good tummy-bugs couldn't hurt? If she doesn't have any other digestive condition to preclude it. Hope things get better soon.

    How cool is this?? It only cost me a few dozen eggs.

    VERY cool! I'd trade many-dozen eggs for that LOL. :) That's the only problem with having like-minded neighbors. None of them would give up such a gem LOL. (They'd probably share though so I won't complain -- I love having the neighbors around me that I have -- almost all of them anyways). ;)...

    Cat Issue - Update

    Poor kitty. Is there another space she can have away from Amira? I think Siamese bring their own problems. My cats have been separated for almost two weeks cuz my girl was getting deep bite wounds on the neck and face from the boy, who is easily twice her size. She's tiny, but she RUNS the...

    Cat Issue - Update

    Yowling at the roommate's door? Was her box ever in there? Is it maybe really secluded and that's what she wants? Does she especially like/dislike your roommate? Sorry if you already posted about that. With me being about a month off the forum I'm trying to catch up. :)
