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...

Ok I know you guys are praying and when we band together with God great things happen. Since I have sent this out at 3am these things have happened. 1. I contacted out local mental health, they worked on getting my sister evaluated and will see her on Feb. 9. They are concerned and really...

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 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 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...

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.

Oh Beekissed, I have been slapping myself in the back of the head all week over this one. I finally got all the credit cards paid off then Christmas arrived. I swore I would only spend cash on presents and look at me now, $1200 in debt again.:he I hate when I do this. It's stupid and doesn't...

Yaaaaaay Dace:D I was so worried about you. I felt so bad that you left. You are full of good advise and I watch for your posts so don't leave again. :hit Now about that yard...Mine is really small compared to the other people's in town and I do fine. My neighbors like to see what new...

Yesterday it finally made it over 0 a balmy 19F. Snowed last night and now it's -5F. I love winter anyway.

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...

Welcome friend, I think you'll like it here. The people are really nice and share plenty of ideas to keep you busy on winter nights. :welcome Sharene

Someone plowed my driveway too:D My hubby has the flu and the guy down the street noticed we hadn't don any shoveling and plowed it. Nice.

DEEEEEEP FREEEEEEZE!!! We had a blizzard this weekend and now it's been well below zero for the past three days. I still love winter though.:weee edited to add, I live in North Dakota

:weee:weee:weee Life is grand! I love it when someone does something nice for me. It makes me want to cry. What a blessing! :weee:weee:weee

Definately going to plant a big garden this year, starting out plants in the basement if possible. I want to can and freeze as much as possible.

That's a great idea. I would love to have some pigs to do my tilling this year.:cool: I think it could work and just think of the adventures you could have given this is your first time trying this. Let us know how it works out. Also love the idea of selling them at market price, nice.

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...

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...

Dace, I can see you are cheering up now. It's nice to know you have these friends to look out for you and pray for you huh. I know this is hard times for you and I will tell you, a lot of people live through hard times and appreciate them later on. I know you know that, but it's nice to be...

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...
