Hi all. I came across a classified ad site that deals strictly in bartering that I thought some of us might find useful. It's still in it's infant stage but the infrastructure is in place for it to be used nationwide. Each state is broken down into counties. It has it's roots in CA. and doesn't...

Allow me to add : ANYTHING that has a long shelf life would be a smart investment now. One example - salt. Salt has hundreds of uses. It is essential to our well being and it's CHEAP. For the last few weeks I have picked up a box of salt every time I stop at the store. The 45 cents for a 28 oz...

My (now) 15yo daughter has a thing for snakes. When she was 12, Her ball python (about 15" long) escaped. She didn't put the screen on straight after a feeding. It was missing for 3 weeks and we figured it must have found a way outside. One day I was looking for new batteries in one of those...

Grilled cheese. After the cheese melts, open it up and add a nice thick slice of fresh from the garden tomato. :drool

To my earlier post, I can add a skill I made my first venture into. Last month I butchered my first deer. It wasn't pretty, :rolleyes: but it's a start. I also salted the hide real well and after we get out of this teens and single digit weather, I need to clean it better and make my first...

UNBIELIVEABLE !!!! I got a few more eggs this month than I thought. I went out this morning to exchange the frozen water can for a thawed one and found another secret nest with 14 eggs in it. :ep The problem is - they're all frozen and have a crack down the side. I brought them in and let them...

:welcome I grew up in Williamsport and now live south of Harrisburg.

Tetley Tea Jif PB ( Is there any other kind ? ) Other than that it doesn't matter

I couldn't agree more. That behemoth has absolutely no business being driven as a street vehicle. :barnie You hummer lovers can go ahead and bash us now.

I had a 1989 Mazda 626 with 298,000 mi when I finally had to give it up. The only reason I did was because the frame under the trunk had rotted away to the point of no return. Those engines will run forever with good maintenance. As far as saving money - don't forget about the air filter. A...

I just found a secret nest. I decided to clean out the coop last week and put in new straw before the single digit temps got here. I moved a couple bales that are used for insulation and behind them I found 8 eggs :ep Now I check this spot every day. Even with that, I only get 4-5 a week from...

I do the same thing. Becky expects to find me dead on the floor some day from food poisoning.

WOW!!! We have a banner. I haven't been here since the end of November. Looks like I missed some stuff. I came across the 4 page post responding to some fruitcake that thinks guns are the answer to any SS problems that might arise. You "chatty hens" really gave it to him. I guess he's not with...

$1.84 and falling. I filled up my F700 for $70.00. :clap

Ours are $45 each. We only get 4 at a time because we don't have room to store more. Luckily the man we get it from has a huge barn that he sells from all winter. We go through about 1 a week for the horses, donkeys, and goats, from Nov. through Mar.

I don't see food getting cheaper any time soon, so buying extra now even if it puts you a little over budget is staying under budget in the long run. Look at the way packaging is getting smaller. It was the same price for a while so as to deceive us "oblivious" consumers, but the prices are on...

You guy's are burning all you're paper trash in a pit so how are you going to start your fire for cooking and heating. :)

My favorite, and Oooooh so true. :) Becky even agreed when I read it to her.

Wow. I never even followed the link. :rolleyes: I just remembered reading about it somewhere. I reread my post. Boy I must have been tired when I wrote that.

I don't remember where, but I read an article a while back that relates to this. The author was spreading cow patties on his garden. His neighbor, a recent immigrent from somewhere in Asia, was appaulled that he would be wasting this fuel on his garden. He taught him how to make bricks for fuel...
