Oh, Morel, good for you. I know this comes at a time when you really needed it and I am happy for you. Isn't it amazing how when things look the worst the very best things happen? I hope your Christmas is a great one. I love that you caught a break. That isn't happening for most people now...

I took your guys' advise and asked. I advertised on our local radio trading show. I wanted canning materials like jars, a pressure cooker, water bath kettles etc. Suprisingly enough my next door neighbor has all those things! She called the house when I was asleep and my sister answered...

I think that if you have the time and money it wouldn't hurt to learn something new. I wouldn't really want to learn through videos though. Then you have to consider the volunteer time you owe. If you are looking for some little jobs later, this might help you get in the door. If you are...

Thanks guys for understanding and helping me feel better. I am too sensitive sometimes and find myself missing out on things by feeling awkward. I am new to this type of communication and didn't know what to think. Thanks again for the support and I have already felt better replying to...

Friday after Thanksgiving I went grocery shopping and found fruit on big time sale. Gallon bags of ruby red grapefruit .99, three bundles of off color bananas for 1.29, two gallon bags of apples for .99 each. I felt like I won the lottery. :celebrate Me and the chickens finished off the...

Deep freeze here as well. It's been about 9F for the past four days and I had to break down and buy propane. I love the snow though and it's been snowing for three days. I do find myself hoping for spring because I want a big big garden this year and can't wait to get started.

I need to clarify something that I said on this thread. It has been bothering me and keeping me from sharing my thoughts with you all. I said that kids sometimes needed spanking and that I agreed with spanking. I also want everyone to know that I didn't go around spanking my kids every day...

We switched to woodstove heat and boy are we saving!! If there is someone awake to keep the fire going the house stays nice and cozy day and night. The temps here in North Dakota are getting close to zero now. I checked with the propane company about a month ago and the price was $1.85 a a...

I live on a reservation and the drug trade has taken a toll on our crime rate. Before it was still violence everyday but now it's grand theft and burglary too. Most of the violence and theft are within families so it doesn't touch us because we don't do violence or drugs.

I was wondering if i could used my pine shavings from the chicken coop to make the briquettes. A friend of mine said not to unless it sat for a long time because of the nitrogen content in the poo. What do you guys think? We also have plenty of leaves, cow manure, straw and saw dust. This...

Way to go all of you who quit, it takes courage and I commend you:clap

I paid my cousin $75 a month to come in and move things around, (to her liking) and clean and dust all rooms except my own. I wanted to help her out. She only worked a total of about two hours but boy did I love the job she did. It saved me a weekend of cleaning because it's so easy to get...

I love Suze! She is practical and can give anyone, I mean anyone advise. She has helped me to understand money matters and has helped me to raise my credit rating. I also learned how to use my credit wisely. Suze Rocks!!!:ya

You girls are so crazy:pop I love to read your posts to each other. Anyway, GOOD JOB ROO:weee I am very proud of you. My hubby does the hunting in the family and I just reap the venison rewards. I told him one morning when he didn't have anyone to help him that I would go with him... We got...

I know what it's like to see animals slaughtered and feel pity for them. When I started out being self sufficient I had chickens to kill and it was sooooo hard for me. I had to learn to seperate myself from the act and remember that the chickens are there for food and to just do it. It's...

I had to give all of my stimulus check to the propane company.:(

Thanks Chicklit, I will look around for that as well.:)

Thanks, I got the thermometer and found out we were burning the woodstove just about right. I'm so glad I asked you guys for more information. I feel better all the way around now.
