As I said previously "This is not a Democrat or a Republican problem. It is a government problem." While both the Dems and the Rep play we citizens against each other, they rob us blind. Until the citizenry of the United States act united these theives in Washington will continue to rob us blind!

Can any one tell me where I can get a rack that allows me to can a double layer of pint jars in my pressure canner. I have a Mirro Canner that is about 24 inches tall. I saw, in another thread a while ago, where someone had one of these racks. I have never seen one. I think anything that will...

We may have been in the ditch when he started but it seems to me that he, and many in the Congress, are maning the backhoes to make the ditch into a chasm. Instead of concentrating on the areas that will get the biggest bang for our tax dollar buck by encouraging small businesses in many areas...

YEA SKR8PN!!! :clap I bow down to anyone who only deals in cash and checks :bow It is almost unheard of these days and that is why our economy is in such trouble. :thumbsup

Vermont property taxes are tied to laws regarding the funding of the states public schools. One of the requirements is that when a percentage of the properties in a town sell for more than 20% bove the assesed value of the property, an automatic reassessment is triggared. Unfortunately, when...

Opiemaster, this started several years ago in New York. I had been laid off from my employer who was in New York. I lived just over the border in Vermont from this employer. For the first 3 months I received my check in the mail and filed my weekly work report on line because I was considered an...

Within the past month I have canned my first jars of meat. I have been canning jellies, tomatoes, beets and other veggies for a few years now but I never felt the need to can meat. I started thinkig of what we would do if we no longer had reliable electricity. It was then I realised that my...

Big Daddy do you, or anyone else know the stepsfor using these barrels to grow potatoes?

I have seen many left leaning pundits, journalists and political types on the FOX News cable channel. Juan Williams, Maura Liason, Bob Beckel, Allan Combs and many others are FOX News contributors on a daily basis. They provide spirited debate and the side of the left on many of the evening...

This scares me. It is kind of like "Lord of the Flies" :hide

I have an oppertunity to get some white or blue 55 gallon plastic drums with lids from a farmer that advertised on Craigs List. :clap He has hundreds of them that contained either teat dip, detergent or iodine. They are not free and they need to be cleaned, but they are relatively inexpensive...

I wish I could provide you with an answer but I am wondering the same thing. I want to long term store beans in buckets with gamma seal tops and I am not sure if I need mylar bags and oxygen absorbers for this process. This will be my first attempt at really long term storage. Also I was going...

The only way to make your medical records accessable to any doctor or facility that is treating you any where is to place them in a central data bank that will be accessable through the internet. I, for one am concerned about this for two reasons. The first reason is the ability for an...

:hide This is me back under my chair again. I am heart sick and afraid. I was watching the news this morning while they were discussing the health care provisions in the stimulous bill. These provisions, in addition to providing the funding for placing all medical records on the WEB, also...

Glad to hear that most of you are thinking like me. It seems like the Democrats in Congress have thrown the kitchen sink into this "stimulous bill" and much of it should not be there. The Republicans would have done the same thing if their positions were reversed. There are many things in this...

Yesterday was a lost day. I was so depressed after the Senate passed the new "Stimulous" package that I was in bed, in the fetal position, by 6 PM. :hide I feel that the people who were elected to legislate what was in the best interest of the United States and her people, have sold us down the...

I don't have any pictures. I am not much of a photographer. I can try and explain how we have the yard set up. My property is about 3 times as long as it is wide. The house is aprox 35' x 25' and sits about 40' from the road and is centered on the frontage. The black berries are at the front of...

I have a magnetic duster. It is pink and blue with an 18 inch long duster head area. My 6 month old kitten thinks it is a rodent or something and is always wrestleing with it and draging it aroound like it was a prize kill or something. That cat has given the duster more use than I ever did! :lau
