I'm on the chapter about Gardening now. Ms. Freed was surely a cracker at 18; she's a hoot!

"I have been around this site for a couple of years and I have never done a journal, thinking I'm not the "blogging" type, and who really cares about reading about my life anyway?" I'm excited that you're sharing. Shooot, I say take it beyond "journaling" and do a blog. That way you can make...

Okay, that's fine. We can send ONE LESS than the total amount of folk that sign up. ;) Also, let me double check on the flat rate boxes. I recently sent out a medium box for a 18 piece swap and it was huge. I didn't think we'd need that for a 12 piece swap. I'll double check and get back...

I'll update participants via the first post, fyi!

Anyone interested in a fun, no pressure soap swap? Anything can go, whatever your fav. is to soap. There is plenty of time to make your goodies keeping in mind some folk have lots going on at year end. It'll be a fun way to bring in 2012! Here are the particulars: Guidelines 1. Looking...

Snickles, I'm a sucker for getting packages. Before I left Ohio my custodian used to actually place my packages in my living room when I was away at work; bless his heart.

Hello Valmom, Have you ever thought of making hot process soap then? That way you don't have to take off summers. Just a thought. Cheers. L

Just called DD. New Albany!!!!!!!!!! She said he lived there and I guess it was some big deal (then or now).

Cool beans, FarmerJamie! What's the name of the rich guy who, wait, Les Wexner, or something like that??? Doesn't he have a town or something named after him, well my DD and her hubby lived there too. If you say the name I'll remember, it's not Gahenna.

In keeping with our discussion here, kOxxx, get on it as soon as you can. We are. The stuff that is about to jump off here (it only takes viewing CNN for one session) makes this subject no joke. We can get on our soapbox about it, but won't for as you said, folk think you're crazy. They...

Perhaps I can take that phonetic spelling and look it up, figure things out. Thanks, Moolie. As soon as Lee gets in I'm sharing this thread with him. The raiding stuff is NOT the business and is disgusting.

OMG, this is terrible! I have got to share this. This is horrible :th :hit

Here, here, OP (original poster). You are a person after our own heart. To this end we purchased a food dehydrator to make jerky from the deer we have on hand. We're investigating ways to preserve food where we won't need on grid conveniences; i.e., electricity, canning supplies. We keep...

DAAANG, Bourbon Red, you've got me going from quaking in fear (at the prospect) to :gig my butt off. I needed that explanation though. Thanks a heap-a-bunch. Lyric

Hello, I'm one of those newbie farmers. Thank goodness Lee knows what he's doing. We're in the market for a Jersey family milk cow. I just learned there are other breeds of milking cows (thank goodness). We don't have that kind of money just starting out and all. We are hoping to start with...

I'm feelin' froggy. Please put me after Calendula! I've already gotten my first soap chosen. Will mail soon as I get the addy from Hillfarm. :D Lyric

How about a small, manila, bubble pack? That's probably what I'll use. Perfect for one bar of soap.

Do we (or the swap mom) post pics of the soaps so we can all see the goodies?!!!!

We're game. What a nice way to intro ourselves to the SS family!

Just finished reading the entire thread. I am so really, so very yearning for a self-sufficient, off-grid life. I mean it is reaaally getting, umm, I can't even think of a word now. I relocated to FL from OH about 1.5 years ago and you never know what turn life will take. I met and married a...
