We can't tie to trees or anything solid, like a structure, because the birds just poop all over everything. our trees are full of birds, and birds nest all along the edges of our house, so anything tied there gets pooped on. So i think the umbrella idea is the best, but I hadn't thought about...

I need one. What is the best one that I can get? I'm hoping to find one during the first week or two of yard sales, but otherwise will buy one.

Our electricity costs went way up, and DH was so mad at me, thinking I'd been leaving lights on, and doing stupid electrical things... BUT, the cost per KWH was what went up, almost 10%. so we've really got to cut back, because it's darn expensive. The best thing we've done so far, is to...

I LOVE it!!! But how many frogs is he allowed to have in there? My kids have to leave their frogs outside :)

We are going to line dry our laundry all the time. We do at least one load a day, so there's a huge financial impact as far as electricity. Also, will wash more dishes by hand, since I usually end up filling the sink with hot h20 for soaking, i could just scrub, use cold for rinsing. Also...

yeah, we washed them really well, got all the brown skin stuff off, and then sauteed them. the texture is a bit like asparagus, but the taste is to ME, strong, like asparagus plus grass... the kids were not convinced that it wasn't poison...

My kids and I went out foraging, and found about a half gallon of Fiddleheads. We picked responsibly, only 2 from each crown, so the plant won't die... I need advice though on preparation. I tried sauteeing them in butter, and it was kind of gross.. the kids were not pleased, and I ate them...

I have EMT experience, paramedic skills, nursing aid skills, have assisted at births, and cared for broken limbs (and poultry). I am a great baker, an adequate cooker and canner, and sort of okay at sewing... i can sew just about anything... badly. I am not afraid of snakes, or of killing if I...

A) The murder of another human being is never a good thing B) Osama's death does not make up for the deaths of all the civilians and soldiers since 9/11 C)The whole 'thing' (burial at sea?) seems really sketchy. D) America cannot stand up with pride anymore, we don't follow our own rules, or act...

I always pour a little bit of maple syrup on the bottom of the pan (after I butter it, but before I put in the rolls), and then drizzle it on top too.. mmmm

I had a cocker, she went crazy when a plumber came over. I don't know if he was really a bad dude, or if she just took a dislike to the smell... (chemicals, flux, solder, etc.) My 4 year old thinks it's awesome to punch her dad in the legs... they were sparring yesterday, her totally...

We have a LOT of trout lily, the yellow flower kind. The internet said it's good for making you puke... anyone have any experience with this plant? if/when TSHTF, we might need an emetic, preparation directions would be awesome. Thanks...

I have to throw my vote in for a border collie/ Lab Mix. We have one, and though she disdains 'Fetch', she is protective of the kids, but kind, and patient, if my kid crawls ON the dog, pup will just look really sad, and sort of beg me with her eyes to make it stop. She's athletic, but loves...

I sold 6 chickens for $50 today, POL (some already laying) including a salmon faverolle and a white EE who lays blue (robin's egg blue) eggs. Giving away a goose later this week though, since she's taken to dubbing my hens for me :( so i'm not convinced I'm ahead...

I'd be thrilled to get one of your kefir grains if you have any left! I can paypal you... pm me if you want!

I hate arugula. It tastes like poison to me!

Geese. My 3 geese are awesome... and evil. I haven't lost any animals to predators since I got them. They're fenced at night, and protected from large predators (dogs, foxes etc.) but as far as things that can climb, hawks, weasels etc., the geese are the best watch dogs. Plus they run off...
