Most of our friends are survivalists. They have thier bug out bags ready to go! So our way of life isn't off to them at all. One of them has been prepping since the 60's! Now the families think we're nuts! :D

That looks great! You got yourself a good man there!

Thank you Wild. I just don't like the guy much. His tone of voice was so snippy. I do need to find a new doc!

I wish I could. One wall has the door outside and the fridge spot tkes the rest of it. The other wall is gone because it is open into the living (I wouldn't have built it this way), the one wall has the dining table ( seater) and some cabinets above the table. The last one has the sink and...

We burn whatever fell down or was cut down the year before! We burned coal the last two years with a little wood but now we don't have a coal supplier so Sat and Sunday we will be cutting up old trees that fell last winter. Lots of them are cherry or hickory.

Last year I went to my OB/GYN for my annual check up. My doc did the breast exam and I told him that they were sensitve. He lauhghed under his voice and said to the nurse "Well, she'll really hate the mamogram then won't she" and he left the room. I've stewed about it all year. My...

We get Backwoods Home and Mother Earth News but the last will expire and not be taken again. If you have a Tractor Supply near you they have an excellent selection of magazines for sale.

I hope the deer passed away quickly. I feel bad for your hubby though. I can imagine how he felt but he should have waited!!! This year will be the first we do any hunting. Our back pasture is loaded with deer. they think they have a safe place here. :cool: Last year I sat on the back porch...

I love the thrift store! They just raised the prices though. Coats went from 2.99 to 7.99 kids clothes went from .49 to 1.39. Still cheaper than new but it hurt. It's a Goodwill store. I donated a bunch of stuff the other day that we kept stumbling over. I need to go through kid clothes...

Have fun and be safe!

If you want to get ready to move to a farm I would look at Storeys site and check out their titles. They have excellent books. Then go to Amazon and order them cheaper (sorry to be cheap but every dollar counts). Before we moved out here I got a basic book in a few categories - butchering...

That is so cute! Good job! We live on hill surrounded by trees so no one can see up here. We don't get visitors much. Somemes the mailperson or the UPS truck will pull up. But since we have been working on outside projects .... our neighbors (the few there are) stay for fear of being asked...

I had grey hairs in high school. Then when I went through a bad period in my life it went all grey. In 6 months I went from grey streaks to all grey. I was in my 30's. So I had it colored. The original color was auburn. So I said "Dye it auburn please". I looked like Lucille Ball. I was...

Years ago my mom told me about the potato method and she said it worked on her warts. If you have chickens ..... lean down and they will get it off. They are the best things in the world at finding warts and scabs. I can't keep a bandaid on around them. They will harass you until they get...
