I bet if you could get ahold of some, you could squirt some breast milk up your nose for congestion! (sorry.. still gigglin' from the other post)

:D Have to say this made me lol! I've spent more than half of the past 11 years breastfeeding.. and well, w/ a few of my kids allergic to cow milk and soy milk... I did use my pumped breast milk in their cereal, cups, muffins for quite awhile. I knew it had antiseptic properties, but never...

I freeze zuchini like this: grate it and put it on a cookie sheet and freeze it in 1 cup (approximate) portions in ziplocs, to use in baking recipes later. I'm sure you could cube it, or slice it and do the same. Not sure about doing it whole though? I've sliced up summer squash and...

When we lived in FL, after a hurricane (a close one) our new neighbors (had only recently moved in) we didn't know them that well b/c they both worked f/t.... they offered an extension cord to us to plug in our refrigerator and a light or whatever. We did the refrigerator and a fan, it was too...

we live waaaay out in the woods, there are a few neighborhoods around. The biggest problem around here is that you're not allowed to post signs.. of any sort. You can have a sale.. they can't keep you from doing that... but no signs can be posted (not even in your own yard???) So this guy...

LMBO!!!! :lol: Last winter I was trying to figure out something to rig up for the boys upstairs..... they drive me NUTS... none of them can make it in the stinkin' toilet. There is no bathroom upstairs (yet.. it's in the remodeling plans) and so when they have to pee, they just open up the...

I love a good yard sale day! Sadly, w/ the cost of gas, I havne't had any this year. I've only hit a couple on the way to jobs/errands if I've had the time. I used to do planned routes... but now we live so far out in the woods... it's not worth the cost in gas. Most people up here are...

:lol::lol: YES!!!! I have done this! When we lived in FL and had an addition put on our house I used sheets and peel 'n stick velcro. The sheets were barely used, and from a bed we no longer had. The velcro we got for free, someone left huge rolls of it behind at DH's work. It worked...

Thanks for the link, I'll go check it out! ETA: It also linked to Red Cross and FEMA for food/water storage. It talks about using the plastic soda bottles also! Very helpful! Thanks!

Everytime I've brought raspberries in this week, they're devoured before I can make it back into the kitchen. :) My zuchini and summer squash plants have pretty much been demolished by the chickens (thanks to DH who let them roam unsupervised while i was gone over the weekend). They already...

I did the same as you. Just cut it off the cob and put in ziploc bags and freeze. Our chicks pecked away at the cobs as a treat. A wedding we went to a couple weeks ago, they had tons of uncooked corn leftover in the kitchen, I helped them cut/bag and freeze it, and they gave me 3 grocery...

Nice post Pat! Thanks for mentioning about the food keeping for 24 hrs. If the power outage happens to go longer than that, you can just have a cooking fest, and cook up what needs to be. And eat those things for the next couple days. I've done that if meats start thawing... but fruit and...

Apparently I'm naive to "rolling" and didn't get it 'til y'all pointed it out to me! :P <giggle>

Our story: (sorry it's long) I haven't been homeschooling very long. We started Jan 08. We had talked about it/thought about it/wanted to do it since our 8yo was beginning kindergarten. We just kept moving and I didn't think we should, knowing we'd have to move again shortly! Wow that was a...

Thanks for the link to the cheese making! I can't wait to try it out! I never realized it was so easy. We've been discussing getting goats for quite a few years..a nd now we finally have the property for it. I think next Spring we'll get some. I need to learn more about them first.. and...

soda bottles.. or as us northern folk call 'em "pop bottles" have a 10cent deposit on them here... we take 'em back... and my parents... as my dad would just throw 'em away otherwise. We recycle cans from canned goods, and plastics...... only reason for us to do it iss to save on garbage...

I just breezed through the other responses... don't think this was mentioned? But have you tried calling the credit card company and explain what's going on. (can only pay min. payment, would like to get it paid down etc) When DH and I were trying to get out of debt we did that... and one of...

Well done!!! :) So how do you make mozzarella? Esp. if it only takes a half hour to make!

Thanks "simple life" for posting that. I wanted to mention something, but didn't have the facts. The COST of cleanup in your home, IF one breaks... is much worse than the savings you'd get from using them. In our home... things get broke all the time. We have 5 rowdy kids! :) So once we...

I want to do this to heat the chicken coop. http://www.builditsolar.com/Projects/SpaceHeating/SolarGarageCollector/garcol.htm
