Thanks for the suggestions. I am mainly concerned about shade, well, really, our lack of!! There were 2 giant oaks on the neighbor's property that shaded a nice section of our yard but they came down when we had hurricane winds rip thru Ohio 2 years ago. I could put the goat pen next to the...

I saved a almost $50 by shopping at Aldi's today!!! I like the idea of selling my homemade laundry soap....will have to look into it further to see what the market might be!

Here is a crude aerial map of our property. We have 2 acres. I am not sure where I should place the goat shed (or what size I need to accommodate 2 does and a milking area) plus a pen to raise 2 feeder pigs. The blue lines are the property lines and the red rectangle represents a...

I have had UC since 1996 and it's been a battle. At first my symptoms were quickly put into remission after a round of Prednisone. I would also go into remission with each pregnancy. Since I was pregnant from 1998-2003, I had a good run. Fast forward to last year...I had been battling...

Normally I share....but this is ham we're talkin'!! The camp has such strict guidelines for their food storage. They bag up leftovers and date them 5 days out. On the 4th day any food not eaten is to be thrown away. I typically take the food and immediately freeze it. It's usually enough...

My decidedly weird user name stems from our email account name we created back in 1999. Not sure why we added the extra d, we're just odd like that!!:D

I work off and on for a local church camp. They keep pigs to compost the kitchen scraps then have them processed for a huge maple syrup festival in the early spring. The head cook was having difficulty slicing 2 of the hams for an upcoming dinner...she got frustrated and gave up, resorting to...

Thanks everyone!! I am now well armed to plan my garden and get all my supplies ready. Now to see someone about this single digit weather we've been having. :tongue I'm ready to start my garden!!

In the past I've bought my garden plants at a local nursery but given the cost and lack of variety, I want to start from seed this year. So...where do you buy your seeds from? I like the idea of organic and heritage varieties but again, cost is a factor. Thanks!!!

Such a thought provoking question!! I would welcome my Mom, who is so good with a garden and sewing it's crazy!! I would also welcome my brother and his girlfriend. While they don't have any SS skills they are hard workers and don't take things for granted. My sister on the other...

LOL, yea...I know! Recession is on it's way out, it's an old fad just like acid washed jeans :gig Local paper came today and there is a secretary position advertised, will be mailing off my resume today. I keep telling myself that it can only get better!!!

I used to work for a realtor as her assistant and since much of the job was in and out of the office or going to houses on my own I was able to make it work around the kids. It's not hard and I had no real estate experience other than buying my house. The realtor I worked for had tons of...

They did use the word unqualified!!! I probably slipped up and answered a question wrong on their 100 question test. It just kept repeating the same question just re-worded, over and over and over. I smile when I greet new people. Strongly Agree Agree Neither Agree or Disagree Disagree...

DH lost his job back in October, right at the time my seasonal position slowed down. We were able to survive the last few months on savings all the while sending DH's resume out to every company we could find. Since manufacturing is all but dried up here in Ohio, I dusted off my resume and...

I am (by this I mean my hubby) is very handy and then barn and fencing is the least of my concerns, from the finance standpoint. I have been watching local breeders and craigslist and know that we want 2 does from a good milking line but they don't need to be registered or anything. Just...

I've read and read and read about what's needed to raise, care for and milk dairy goats, however, I'd like real people's experiences on start-up needs so I can determine costs. My plan is to get 2 dairy goats (breed yet to be decided). If I followed all the book's guides on what's needed I'd...

Thanks for the welcome everyone...I've been reading posts and learning so much already. Deb- in answer to your questions...the motorcycle is a 1976 Yahama...it's still in the project stage but it'll be finished someday. As for my hearing loss...the doctors don't know why. One theory is I...

So I diverged, in a yellow wood but I'm not so sure I ended up in the right place!! Trying to decide if we should stay or go is difficult. On one hand we were able to re-fi the house and had the property tax adjusted to reflect fair market value but with the overwhelming lack of employment...
