    Does Anyone Remember Jim Henson's Storyteller?

    I forgot about the current American Girl series. So, not all children's television is a loss. That is a well done set of TV movies. It lets children have a glimpse of what life was like in key periods of US history. Other than that, it is pretty much at a loss. Hannah Montana, Wizards of...

    Does Anyone Remember Jim Henson's Storyteller?

    Netflix just recently added one of my favorite television progams of all time to instant play, Jim Henson's Storyteller. They have both the European and Greek Myth seasons. Oh, how much I loved this as a child! I remember when storytales and fables were big in 80s children's programing...

    Ground Walnut Shell as Poultry Bedding?

    I don't think this was black walnut. It probably was the more common English walnut. Besides, they already look funny.

    Family of 6 on $4 a week?

    I saw a similiar story on Good Morning America. The big issue I have with this way of shopping is nutrition. This person's pantry and refrigerator was filled with processed junk. There was no whole foods whatsoever. Feeding a family on next to nothing is nice but not at the expense of their...

    Ground Walnut Shell as Poultry Bedding?

    I saw a 25 pound bag of ground walnut shells at the pet store. It was in the bird section and sold as bedding. Does anyone know if I can use if for my chickens? They sleep in a crate. This would be much easier and cheaper than timothy hay. Supposedly, it keeps down the smell, clumps and is...

    My chickens must be weirdos. They hate pumpkin. My dog loves canned pumpkin, though.

    An Article: Dogs are not environmentally friendly...!

    Cities are not the environmental evil that most people assume them to be. If planned correctly, cities have a much lower impact per person than living in the country.

    An Article: Dogs are not environmentally friendly...!

    In order to calculate the total impact of cattle, you have to incude the food that they consume.

    An Article: Dogs are not environmentally friendly...!

    Oh, I hate those articles. They distract from real environmental issues. Yes, pets and other animals use resources. We all use resources. We should not all cease to exist. Having children uses even more resources. When I was an undergrad, there was two people that told me that if I was...

    Who has or does bike/walk/bus commute?How far and often?

    Well, I have been using biking around much more than usual. Have a new job a church and more things to do. Last night, I rode my bike at night. This is the first time in about a year. Was able to use my nice DiNotte lights, again. They are so bright that sometimes cars think it is another...

    If you are in a place with daylight savings time...

    They have made DST earlier/later for the last few years as a way to conserve energy. I believe that is why it was originally instituted back during WW2.

    Saving money has made me bored out of my mind!!!!

    Oh, always clean up after her. It is just unpleasant to clean up after her. She always has to chose the most public places to do it. At busy intersections or in front of a crowd of people. Sigh!!

    Saving money has made me bored out of my mind!!!!

    The only problem with walking my fat little furry friend is that she has to poop everytime I take her out. It is so unpleasant. She's been like this for 11 years. No matter how hard I try to teach her to go at home or wait until she goes outback before we leave, she has to go on the walk...

    Saving money has made me bored out of my mind!!!!

    Its not about having freetime. There is plenty for me to do at home. It is about being stuck at home except for work or church.

    Your Charities and Good Deeds

    Right now, I put money into the little donation box at Raley's. Also, have $8 taken out of my account each month for Humane Society. I should donate more of my time. No excuse really. Just forgetful.

    Know this is for BYC...No one responding on that site..

    I posted a question about adding hemp and chia seeds to my chickens diet. They are not too big on flax seeds. I want to make sure that they are getting an extra does of protein and essential fatty acids. Does anyone have experience or information on hemp and chia seeds? I am planning on...

    Online consignment/secondhand shopping

    Evangelists are not the same as national charities. I donate to my church. Know for a fact they do give to those in need and do not make any profit. They also run thrift type stores in certain areas. Use the money for both welfare type services and humanitarian aid. Our family and many...
