    Turn Off Your Cell Phones....

    When I had my first baby, the clinic told me to go down the hall and apply for WIC. I went there and the ladies were so nice. They explained about nutrition, breastfeeding, vaccinations and motor function in babies. That was in 1986 so I don't know about today's WIC program. I breastfed my...

    Home Birth - Graphic Descriptions.

    I think that if you have a baby at home it is a more wonderful experience for everyone involved. I never got the chance to do that because no one else in the house supported the idea. I feel that giving birth is a natural experience and it would definately be more enjoyable if it could be kept...

    high blood pressure and gout

    Sounds like your granny is suffering some complicated stuff. I feel for you Lori, I know what it's like to watch someone with health problems and the docs don't care, just throw pills at them until the problem gets deadly. My aunt had these symptoms and we took her to the Mayo Clinic in...

    Pressure canners

    I put an ad for canning material on our tradio program, (a radio program that you can ask or sell things) Low and behold my neighbor called me and said she had all the jars, cookers, rings etc and if I wanted to she would give me the jars and figure out a price on the pressure cookers. I...

    Cannabis as medicine for real, anyone?

    I think that any medication abuse is wrong. I have relatives who are addicted to pain pills and will cheat, lie and steal to get them. They have even gone so far as to come and "visit" my sick mother taking all her pain meds with them when they left. She was devastated for their betrayal...

    Help me slay this electric bill?

    It's embarrassing to say but I used to take the kids' lights out of the sockets if I had to get after them to shut them off if they weren't using them. It happened a couple of times but now they thank me for getting after them on conserving energy. My daughter sounds just like me when it...

    Help me slay this electric bill?

    If you are heating with electric for your house you may be able to install a woodstove in the living area and heat the most lived in space duing the day with wood. I bought a brand new wood stove this summer and it paid for itself the first two months. I live in ND so we use a lot of wood to...

    tommywalnuts-My Self Sufficient Journal: Rural, Urban, and back again

    We do have people who have 49's after the pow wow, usually though it's only after the big pow wow in Bismarck. I have never been to one since I was old enough to say I wasn't going. My mom used to drag me to them. I have always been the kid with the stick up her butt. I don't like parties of...

    When do I get to feel smug?

    It is so awful that this happened to your family. I hate when people aren't honest. I think that you need to forgive that builder. If you don't you will carry the burden and it can make you sick. Just let it go. I know that 20,000 is a lot of money but there isn't anything you can do about...

    I am half white, 1/4 sioux and 1/4 chippewa. My husband is sioux and my children from another marriage are sioux. I look more white than native but my kids have their beautiful sioux genes. My grandkids are mostly sioux as well. My Husband's family practices the native traditional customs...

    tommywalnuts-My Self Sufficient Journal: Rural, Urban, and back again

    We do the pow wow circuit in ND, SD, MN and once every two years or so, Montana. My husband dances mens traditional and I do all his beadwork. We have had to ask one of my friends to do his shirts because I am too scared to make them. Don't know why. We are from Spirit Lake Nation near...
