    I need words of wisdom from you folks

    I forgot to post earlier that my sister has been without hot water since April. I found out that she was without hot water when I noticed her baby diaper in the bathroom trash one day. I asked her what she was doing at the house and she said that her water heater broke about two weeks back...

    I need words of wisdom from you folks

    Yeah Sylvie that sounds like my sis. Her older boy and the 12 year old girl are bed wetters and she has never bothered to wash a blanket or sheet and doesn't try to do anything to help it for longer than a couple of days. Her daughter that is staying with me now is a bed wetter. She knows she...

    I need words of wisdom from you folks

    I thank you for your responses to my dilemma. I too think that my sister has a mental difficulty. It's like she is missing a chip or something. She does a great job at work, has tons of friends and can tell you anything about anything. I did ask her to see a doctor for her attention...

    I need words of wisdom from you folks

    I am not a person who airs my dirty laundry so to speak. I feel that I can trust all of you here and I don't know where else to turn. I have a problem with my sister and think that maybe you can help me. My sister is 11 months younger than me. She is highly intelligent, kind, generous to a...

    I am back :)

    Have your hubby and kids pee around the perimeter of the yard and near the coop. I had my husband and son do that and it seems to keep the coyotes away. We have them living right outside of town. We also have a mountain lion or cougar that wondered by this fall.

    DEBT FREEDOM...how many see it as the first step to SS?

    Woodstoves, We're going to be looking for one soon!

    Good thinking on your dad's part. I spent about $3500.00 on propane heating my little 1200 sq ft house last year and didn't get that bill paid off until June. I went and bought a woodstove that heats 1200 sq ft. and have been happy ever since. It cost about $600 and it has paid for itself. I...

    What type heating do you have?

    We use Woodstove heat for the majority of our heating. I use a small space heater when we leave for more than a day in the basement where the water pipes are. I would suggest using electric in your addition when needed. You can have your electric company install them and add the cost of the...

    Log Splitters? UPDATE ON AIR-POWERED SPLITTER

    I bought an electric log splitter this summer. I can't say enough good things about it. It will split any size log that I have put in there. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It saves my husband's back and is small and easy to operate. It cost about $300 but it can split a cord of wood in...

    How do you make husbands grow up? (no offense to already grown up ones

    Cassandra, I see that you are frustrated right now and you feel like you are being the only adult in the family. If your husband is being disrespectful by taking you for granted then you need to mention your feelings to him. Give him more responsibilities so you don't carry them all. When he...
