    Hen with a dirty butt

    I haven't eaten in 2 days and was just about to fry me up some eggs - that was before I read about prolapse and maggots. Of course around here they just call it southern white biscuit gravy with red eyes.

    Combination root cellar and chicken coop

    A concrete roof for what you what won't be so hard, a bit pricey and time consuming but doable. I already designed a storm shelter for under my house and will relate the info I found using your measurements. adding to what Yard farmer already said: 12'x15' = 180 sq.ft. @ 6" thick and would be...

    Networking for a telecommute job

    Abifae, I looked at Cloud10 and couldn't get a grip on exactly what they do besides a sort of call center as you said but what is their hiring criteria? I have set-up many work from home VPN's (Virtual Private Networks) for medical transcriptionists and the sort and seems that most that are...

    What to do now?

    I ditto the last two posts, don't throw good money after bad. You do not have to accept an inheritance that is mired in debt, wait until probate finishes and if after the creditors take their share then you can claim it. This will not cost you anything if it is not in contest with other heirs...

    Confessions of a Carboholic

    I read that new ones can run hotter and mine may have cooked for 12 hours now that I think about it. I went to walmart yesterday for more vegetables and saw okra but still fearing it passed it by, then while passing the hot case saw they had deep fat fried okra and got 50 cents worth. I ate...

    Confessions of a Carboholic

    I usually ate a lot hb eggs and fed the yolks to the dogs but not having chickens anymore has reduced it to only a few a month, just started buying more so I can have them daily. I know skipping meals is a bad thing but a hard habit to break, just like today I am so busy with things that I do...

    Power Bike Generator-I want one!!!

    I bought a recumbent exercise bike last year to modify with one of my DC motors as a generator head but accidentally scrapped the motors when cleaning the garage. I do have some smaller ones and may just revive the project since I am trying to lose weight and kill two birds with one stone. Most...

    SKR8PN's greenhouse journal and Zombie FYI thread

    Now that you have it all closed up are you getting any heat gain? Of course you won't get any serious heat until the winter sun moves down the horizon but still thought that 750 gallons of water maybe heating up. I think once it is warmed up it will take weeks with no sun for them to cool...

    Confessions of a Carboholic

    The soup didn't stick as I had a big bowl of All Bran (40carb) a few hours later. My bowls are 16oz so I had a full quart of soup but was also the only eatings all day besides the cereal. I may have to try some sour bread with dinner as it seems to be lacking, had to have 2 slices of whitey...

    Confessions of a Carboholic

    I just finished 2 big bowls of boiled cabbage soup and was pretty good. I actually just made my standard chicken vegetable and replaced the 1/2lb of dry egg noddles with about 2 pounds of sliced cabbage, the can of diced tomatoes with hot chillies gives it a kick. I will try the butter fried...

    Can y'all please take up a love fund for me? Challenge!

    I may not be that thrifty after all - just got my electric bill for July and am at 699kWh, it was for 33 days though but still much higher than last years 449kWh by $25 - but with the constant heatwave I have been running my bedroom AC 24/7 as we don't even cool off at night anymore.

    Can y'all please take up a love fund for me? Challenge!

    Don't be embarrassed as I too didn't know about it until about 10 years ago either but they make a laundry detergent just for using with cold water and makes them smell mountain fresh.

    Can y'all please take up a love fund for me? Challenge!

    Look up the origins of "Mad as a Hatter" to see what you look forward to. I played with mercury quite a bit 30 years ago and still have several pounds in a jar. Touching it or eating it isn't as bad as breathing it, and believe it to be an accumulative heavy metal poison like lead and why they...

    Looking for a simple wine making process

    Heat index and windchill typically only affect humans and not inanimate objects, even live yeast won't notice your high humidity which the index is calculated from. When a ferment first starts it can create a lot of internal heat and by keeping your jug in a cooler with water and ice can keep...
