$3.74 YUCK!! :sick

What an encourage post! Thank you so much for sharing your tips, and your exeriences! 2/3's paid off.... that is AWESOME! I guess it's time to start getting serious about selling off my clutter; I have a student loan I would LOVE to pay off early :D

LOL :lau

Geez, now I am thinking I should go gold panning when the weather gets warmer! :lol Personally I would either save it, or do as Lighthawk said and have it broken into smaller pieces (to avoid the madatory reporting if you have to cash in some gold after 2012) and THEN save it =D

Most of these recipes I have gathered online and added into my own little "recipe box" (a notebook document on my computer). I apologize I don't have the website references. I am also going on the assumption you have lard (rendered pig fat) rather than chunks of fat :D If not there is an...

Good to know! Thank you guys :D

I have several maple trees and I just got some tabs and buckets on craiglist. I need some creative ideas about how I can boil the sap down into syrup. I believe I read it takes a few days of constant heat. Where I currently am, I have no woodstove and the oly stove I do have is run on...

I completely agree with everything you said, esspecially the bolded.

I am looking at doing some container gardening with a portion of my root veggies, so that way when it gets cold I can bring them in and harvest them fresh when I am ready to use them; rather than doing a cold storage. I just figured it would be a way to preserve as much of the vitamins and...

This is something my husband and I have been looking into. I desprately want to be off-grid, save money and then buy a real farm (Someplace where the cityhall tells me that even though I on nearly 3 acres I can't have one goat because I am zoned for "urban development" even though I am near...
