Hi, AnnaRaven! There will be a Kindle version shortly. I am having a formatting issue that I should be able to iron out in the next few days. (I hope!)

Thanks Deb4o and Marianne!

Hi, Mik! The doggies look so cute for Christmas in your avatar photo! Have a wonderful holiday!

Hi, everyone! I don't post very often here due to time constraints but I do read here about once a month or so to catch up on the things that are going on in your self-sufficiency blogs and threads. At any rate, I wanted to share with anyone that might be interested.... My new novel is...

When I was a kid, my mother never put any heavy groceries (cans, jars, etc) in the wall cabinets. That stuff was stored in the base cabinets under the counter. I never asked why, but she is quite short so I guess that I assumed that she was afraid that something heavy could fall on her head when...

Dollar Tree is my favorite dollar store. I buy gift wrapping supplies, gift basket supplies, sponges and scrubbing things. I recently discovered that Dollar Tree carried the President brand of feta cheese in their cooler and frozen organic strawberries from a farm in Ohio. Those are the only...

When my oldest daughter was getting ready to go of to college., I put together a little manual that had a lot of different types of information in it. There was a section on being careful about identity theft and protecting herself from harm. There was also a section about what to do in various...

I love having them in their little hutches in the backyard by the garden. I really think that they provide me with a sort of therapy when they make their little chirpy cricket sounds. My birds just went through the NPIP testing last Friday. It was really nervewracking as the vet tech pricked...

You truly are an urban farm now! I also live in a city in Central NY State. We garden, raise quail, (stealth) chickens, meal worms, lots of veggies and plan to add tilapia fish to the mix this summer. I have visited your area at least once a year when we go to the Falls. We love driving outside...

In the case of my daughters, the community college that they attend is a part of the SUNY system. In fact, even the website address is sunyxxxx.edu The credits are readily transferable to most colleges and are definitely accepted by SUNY's 4 year universities. In fact one of the classes that...

I would assume that it could lead to aspiration of water into the lungs if they inhaled. I usually use a bottle cap with a couple of those flat marbles that you buy in a craft store for the first couple of days and then switch to a quail waterer. I don't usually hatch out large numbers, though...

My quail are over a year old and they still lay every day. I did not give them supplemental lighting during the winter since we had plenty of chicken eggs to tide us over.

I have two kids in college right now. They are a year apart in age and the economy is lousy, so you can probably understand why I am broke! That being said, my kids are not the best students in the world, but they did manage to get a couple of small scholarships. They also weren't so sure...

We had a dog with a bit of dementia. Although we didn't use it, there is a doggie version of Aricept. Our dog had a dog run and he got out once and was really scared. A neighbor brought him back home and closed him in our fence. He just snoozed in the sun until we got home. The funny thing is...

We store what we eat for the reasons already mentioned. However, there is a side benefit to doing so... When you learn to "manage" your well-stocked pantry, you become familiar with everything that you have. I think think that knowing what resources you have at hand are important. We currently...

Thank you farmerlor! Actually, I've been on BYC for a few years, though I don't post much and I've been here since this site opened. I had a problem with my posting id not working and then I sort of lurked, popping in occasionally to read everyone else's posts. I decided to break my silence...

I don't shop at Walmart for many of the reasons that have already been stated and one that I don't think has been mentioned: My husband works in the manufacturing industry. He doesn't make anything that WM sells, but I'd like to think that somewhere, someone is making the conscious decision to...
