    Small "ethical" companies that are really owned by huge corporations

    huh. Now that explains why Burt's Bees lip balm switched to coconut oil products a while back, thus rendering my only know source of lip balm that did not make me hive out... :tongue Seeds of change is a downer, but not a surprise since something obviously happened to their stuff. It's not...

    Stepped on a Rusty Nail

    Ditto on seeing the doc. Ages ago, my brother did that, and got a major bone infection. No insurance, so ended up on sister's couch with drains and IV...the ER wouldn't even see him without my sis signing her life away first, even though by that time he was delirious with fever and the...

    Ok, so....what size recommended for 2 chest freezers, and occasional load of laundry washed (I know I can switch between these uses) and CPap/medical device all night? Would some sort of battery setup for the cpap be better?

    Food Prices, Shortages & Inflation - The Trash Index

    I just spent $7 on fresh fruit yesterday - the cheapest stuff too, apples, sale grapes, sale plums - and barely filled the four bowls for our breakfast today. Being on really medically restrictive diets, I might just be hitting that 30% soon for food. Of 4 adults in our house, 1 has a full...

    Need a Cub Scout skit idea

    How about this 60 second skit? All the boys line up and yell (together so they can be understood) "Our Patrol lost 185 pounds in just one week! Ask us HOW!" Of course, the announcer or the crowd must yell back "HOW did your patrol lose 185 pound in just one week?" And the boys yell...

    Whoo Hoo! A hidden pantry!

    great! I have seen some "interesting" things while poking around buildings with my firefighter/inspector buddy... four feet is nothing. I do know the plaster board between the attached garage and the house living space is required to be the thicker stuff, and I'm not supposed to have glass in...

    Whoo Hoo! A hidden pantry!

    I in no way really know much on this topic, but an elevator shaft acts like a flue in fire and is usually sealed in such a way to not let in air - don't they use special fire resistant plaster board, and heavy doors well sealed? Just want you to be safe.

    Paleo diet

    I have heartburn issues with commercially canned tomatoes. Sometimes with my garden eggplants, but I'm just learning not to eat the really big ones that are too ripe. I haven't had any trouble with potatoes if of good quality. When I get enough tomatoes to can and freeze, I'll know if those...
