I would either buy butcher meat for your mom to cook,or simply stop eating anything she cooks.I refuse to get sick just to be polite.Good for you for refusing to eat more.If you did I was going to suggest a glass of kefir before the meals.Best just to refuse the meat meals,and stick with her...

Lol, I often buy gifts for dh that I would not mind using too,so in a way it is like buying a gift for myself. That is great that you sleep seperate due to needs.I don't get the whole we are married *we must sleep together* when doing so results in poor sleep for both.

My mum got me a book on chcickens and one on bees. I got myself a 5 tier metal wire shelving unit for supplies,and the Back to Basic book. I plan to get myself that volcano 2 stove,a bucket toilet,and a water filtration kit.Yeah,we are kind of the *buy your own* gift types,or atleast we tell...

Welcome. What brought you to this site?

I also don't get why everyone is blaming the NRA or expecting them to tote the media BS hysteria on gun control. They are a gun lovers club and that is all. Why blame them? Why expect them to make a stance on gun control? People should be VERY angry at the darn schools for not vamping up...

I think tasers and mace are a good option. A few in each school.Train the teachers.Even the kids should be familiar with them.My school locks doors,pulls the curtains,and stays REAL quite.Oh how useful! The doors are mostly window. I offered to give money towards some tasers and mace.Ofcourse...

No I do not practice,and at the same time I nag dh to try the dinky gennie he always brings up when I talk about powe going out. Shamefully my extent of *practice* is limited to staying home for days to weeks,and living off what we have. I then get to see how well I prepped,and how creative I...

I buy the scotts 12 pack when it is $5 instead of $10.Even at $6 it is a good deal. I buy atlast 4-8 packs during sale time.I ust stack mine since I have storage room in the house and garage.I have read some smoosh down the rolls for storage. Just keep buying,because you can never have enough...

I only have the elderly neighbor across the street that gardens,cans,and trades with me.There is a young lady 2 doors down that started to garden,but she pretty much ignores any hellos or waves.Oh well.The rest do not do anything around the yard.Most have yappy little dogs.Not sure how helpful...

I would start some things up.Never know if you will be staying longer than planned. I had hoped to move,and here we are 7 years now.Wish I had planted some fruit trees that first year! A few hens,rabbits,and who knows what else,maybe a top bar beehive? I would do it.Dig up a few plants,take...

I copied the recipe from the first page.Sent it to a friend and looking forward to making a batch over winter break.

We had a number of earthquakes here.One really rocked the house last New Years day.Was pinned on the local fracking in PA.Does that matter to the goernment? Naw,they increase the fracking all around us,and tell people to get earthquake insurance.

No worry from the potheads I am sure.They will have people storming THEIR homes and yards for that bit of weed. :lol: Good post! I just listened to the audio of One Second After. Little doubt that the behavior of people in that book could indeed happen regardless of the actual cause of the...

I just prep for the times when dh's paychecks are real low.Sometimes we just don't have the money to buy food! There might come a day when the paychecks stop.He might get sick,fired,or god forbid die.Like an emergency savings fund the prepping of food and other supplies just makes sense.Never...

Sorry to read about the health issues.Speedy healings! When I hsed I started my dd at 6.My ds started PS at 5.It was a mess.Ended up hsing both till they went into Montessori.I plan to hs my dd for high school.Not sure what my ds wants to do.Both kids are advanced in some areas and on target...

I would try almond,rice,oat,hemp,or coconut *milks*. You can make them on your own,or buy the store ones with added vitamins. I have read that people with milk allergies can drink kefir.There are flavored ones by lifeway if you want to give those a try. I thought the soy cheese was pretty...

I was going to recommend the rabbit wrigger too. I think they also make one for chickens,or just use the same one.In the video it looks simple enough. I can't wait to try it.

I am really liking beans soups with the ham in it. It is so good on these cold days with fresh bread.I was thinking of getting an extra ham after the holidays ( when it is marked way down)and salting it for later use in soups,or that scalloped potao dish!

Give the rabbits to your friend! I would Craig them,or feed them to my dogs.

I layer onto my clay and fill dirt land.Leaves,chicken bedding,topsoil. In areas I did not need to use right away I planted alfalfa. I read the roots go deep and help break up the soil.Pretty too.
