    Ohiofarmgirl'sAdventuresinTheGoodLand-where ya been? whatcha been doin

    Wow! I don't blame you. I guess it matters which Sam's Club store you're in, or maybe which line you're in? Last weekend I shopped at Sam's with my DIL. She's not a member. We checked-out using my membership card and her credit card. Nobody questioned it.

    when making mayo--what oil do you use?

    If it's Miracle Whip you're trying to make, you could try this. I copied it a while back from somewhere on the net, but, like the mayo, I have yet to actually try making it: Homemade Miracle Whip Ingredients * 2 egg yolks * 1/2 tsp salt * 1 tbs powdered sugar * 1 tbs lemon...

    Lots of free stuff here

    I do that, too for site sign-ups and surveys, and ordering from sites I'm not sure about. I never thought of using it for my 50-jokes-a-day friends. Good idea!

    FarmerJamie - A new beginning

    I'm getting $2.50/dozen for mine. Do customers usually buy more than one dozen at a time? What if you would continue selling them for $3 per dozen, but also offer two dozen for $5?.

    Self Sustainable living in Ecuador

    We sponsor 10- year old boy who lives in Ecuador, and my husband has a friend who is from there. From what I have gathered, FarmerJamie is right, the people already live sustainably. Not sure how much you'd be able to teach them. Maybe they could teach you from their experience. As for the...

    Anyone else have a Kindle?

    I have the black & white version. I prefer the longer battery life - mine lasts about a month, and I leave it on all the time (with the whispernet off). If I want to see something in color, I view it on my PC Kindle.

    Anyone else have a Kindle?

    I recently downloaded the Kindle Notepad -- very cool for only 99. Lets you type your own notes, lists, etc. into your Kindle. I just put my grocery list and my "to do" lists in there. I haven't tried this yet, but you're supposed to be able to transfer your notes to your computer...

    Anyone else have a Kindle?

    I love LOVE LOVE my Kindle. I bought a cover for it that opens like a book, so I still have the feel of a book. It's great to take on vacation - fits better in my bag than an armload of books (and not so heavy). They have come up with a sharing feature recently, but I haven't tried it yet...

    FOOD, CANNING, and the coming

    I've never had that happen. Do you put the rubber ring and lid together first, before putting it on the jar? That's how I have been doing it, and the lid has a ridge that holds the ring in place.

    FOOD, CANNING, and the coming

    The gaskets are reusable. I saw on the internet where someone was testing them, and they were still working after being used for canning six times. I have used some of mine three times, and they still look good.

    Bubblingbrooks Journey - Salut!

    My BIL is from Alaska. He always jokes (I think he's joking), that you would get more jail time for shooting a moose out of season than you would for shooting your wife. :ep

    How to start prepping?

    Consider learning to can. That seems to be more acceptable to a reluctant spouse. I have canned jars of produce from our garden and the farmers market. DH is very proud of the rows of jars lining the basement wall. If those shelves were full of store-bought canned food, he would think I was...

    Marking hens to tell age

    At our local farm store, they have packages of O rings for chickens. They are plastic, with several different colors in the bag. They have a cut in the ring, so you can pull it apart to put on the chicken's leg.
