Yeah, I know this is serious. Very...deadly serious. Pain isn't as bad as it was 24 hours ago. Still tender, and I'm not about to go eating any corn on the cob or taffy anytime soon. LOL! Problem now is, it's swollen. Need to get that down. I'll re-read through this thread again for suggestions...

I really wish I lived in a better location. Of course it'd help if I had help too. This totally urban. Houses are crammed in together like sardines in a can. My postage stamp back yard is only 25'x25'. The biggest issue, perhaps I had something telling me I was going to end up doing this all by...

Sometimes things just click like that. It doesn't happen often, but boy when they do, it's that lil bit extra that makes things all that much more worth it. Keep on going, and these moments will happen more and more frequently

XPC, Guess I'm wired just like you are. When I walk into a place, like an antique shop or a flea market stand and nothing is prices, to me it's like saying "we're gonna jack the price on anything you show interest in because we don't have a price posted" I get the same queezy feeling when...

Ugh! Last thing I needed right now. One thing I inherited genetically from my mother and her parents is bad teeth. While each generation is getting better, we've got what some call "chalk teeth". Can brush and floss all you want, the enamal is thin and if you get a cavity, kiss that tooth good...

Farmfresh, You're confusing me now! :/ But you are not the only one. Someone else mentioned just haveing everything presented neat and orderly and NOT putting prices on anything. I'm not sure which would be best now. Can I get a forum poll.... price vs don't price? Consignment and Ebay are...

Okay, were getting somewhere here. Seen a few tips that are gonna be a big help. A few clarifications are in order though. I am forgiving only to a point, and I'm rather po'd at some circumstances that are affecting this situation. For example, yes I can see why ALOT of my fiance's time has been...

As I was talking about in the kitchen/cooking forum, I'm about to have this estate sale. I have everything riding on this sale right now. And time is not on my side. It also seems to me as much progress I make, something always manages to screw things up for me. I knew after my mother passed...

After reading comments and suggestions here, I've come to a few decisions about this canning equipment. First off, parts of this thread have diverged from my orignal question. This is partially my fault. I will open another thread in the finance forum re sales tips. As far as keeping or selling...

ldychef2k, can you offer more detail please? I was thinking more along the lines of a huge basement sale, only calling it an estate sale because, well, it's mom's entire estate, basically. I remember mom saying about needing to check the lips. I was going to do this while washing them up...

You'll not making it easy for me! Ugh! Well, I did ask for advice. I was afraid I was gonna hear that jars are inexpensive. I had hoped if i cleaned everything up I'd be able to get $200-$300 for the whole lot. But concensus seems to me that is way above and beyond. Good thing I asked here...

Sometimes in life it is nessary to take a step back before you can progress once more. Sadly, one of things I'm having to do this with is all the canning equipment I've inherited. For which I will need a bit of help with. I do realize there's a "buy, sell and trade" forum on this site. I am...

Just a suggestion, I learned alot about building a still and such on this site. http://homedistiller.org/ For everything else, beer, wine, meade, ale, ect, here's another good site... http://morebeer.com/ Both sites have excellent forums for the newbie to the expierenced. Alot of good diy...

Nice!! that's gonna be sweet when your done. Glad ya took my comments as is. Different styles and all. Oh boy do I know all about permits, had issues with my city about doing stuff to my mother's home. Can't wait to see the finish! Keep posting pics!

Sadly I'm the other nearly broke blue state....Illinois. :( There's a simlar type program, but it's somewhat more complicated requiring going to classes nowhere's near where I'll be moving to.

While I'm not one to believe in destiny, some times something happens to make you wonder. Here I am, unable to find work, having both the will and interest to relocate to a more self sustaining method of living, and what happens. Yesterday morning while drinking my morning coffee, I was...

dragonlaurel That one picture is the only one that looked like that. The rest of the chokeberry plants didn't look anything like that and the berries on the other plants all looked identical to blueberries as they should. As Reinbeau pointed out this is a poisionious plant. For reference sake...

There is something to be said in pride in workmanship. Even if you could do something for less. Knowing you personally made, grew, fixed....you just can't put a price on this.

SKR8PN Thanks for reading my thread in the money-finance forum. Of all the green house projects I liked this one the best. I like seeing the various stages you are going through. It's given me some ideas on how I would go about doing something simlar. For reference sake I hope you don't mind I...

http://www.thedailygreen.com/cm/thedailygreen/images/4I/black-chokeberry-fall-www-lg.jpg Compared to all the other immages of the wild black chokeberry this doesn't look right. If I recall right, this is actually a poisionious plant! I have a Peterson's guide to edible and medicinal plants, but...
