I am yanking my journal up from the bottomless depths where it had been buried. Here's my plans for today: 1. Go grocery shopping. 2. get some of the broccoli seeds in the ground. 3. shovel 1 wagonload of rocks to the side of the house. 4. Spring clean the kitchen. That means also removing...

The skeeter problem is actually a relatively easy fix. You can use chemicals or you can add a goldfish. We have water issues here in Colorado and only last summer did they start allowing people to "harvest" the rain. I am all over it but don't have the money to buy the barrels. I am posting...

I would definitely look into the loratadine. I took it when I was getting immunotherapy shots. Actually, because I was working with things I'm allergic to (hay), I took a regular dose on most days and a double dose on shot days or days I was mowing the grass. BTW, if it's an option for you...

Okay, if 2012 were to happen, we'd all be toast anyway. LOL I think a lot of the people on here seem more concerned with the economy or how politics may effect how things are and they want to try to not have to depend on a system that keeps having so much trouble and others, myself, are here...

Hwill, If I remember right, that is the book that inspired FlyLady. I love FlyLady. I quite often "fall off the wagon" but FLyLady always says to just jump in where you are. She's been a monumental help with my self-esteem too.

When I was starting out, my favorite place to go was (and still is) Allrecipes.com. Generally, I only ever make recipes with 4 and 5 stars. You can use the calculator to downsize recipes but remember that when you do it, it doesn't know to change cooking times on things like meats and...

He looks quite lovely. Behaviorally speaking, is he more like a zebra or more like a donkey?

I saw a couple of y'all had posted that it was good for pain relief from arthritis . I've been feeling a bit achy lately and thought i'd give it a whack. I was diagnosed with arthritis a year ago but have been feeling the pain for years. I've noticed the more I take my meds, the more I need...

I just tried to drink a glass of water with the acv\honey combo. Didn't make it past the first swallow. is there an easier way to do this?

How many cages do you usually have? I'm assuming a breeding trio is what you have. I'll be raising for meat too. My neighbor across the street, who hunts, even agreed to help me slaughter. I can't depend on DH for help regarding that. He's not into the whole SS thing at all.

My thoughts are to have 3 connected hutches; one for the doe, one for a buck (when I get one), one for finishing raising offspring until ... or I can always put all the females in with the doe and leave all the males in the original.

Tortoise, are yours for breeding? My current plans for my doe are to get her bred and raise the offspring for meat, so I want to make sure there's enough space to deal with that too.

Many of you guys have rabbits and I'm wondering what kind of space a rabbit truly needs. I've heard everything from 1 1/2 times squared the stretched out length of the rabbit up to 5 acres (colony for mother and kits). Clearly, these are extremes. I was thinking about designing a hutch 3 feet...

Java, My ENTIRE back yard has been infested with bindweed. I didn't know what it was or how to deal with it when we first bought the house and... ROTOTILLED it. Huge mistake. I've been pulling ever since and using vinegar when it gets way out of control to at least find out where the...

Growing up, we only ever got the junk food. My kids will probably have the same tradition as they grow. We just limit the amount they can have in one sitting. I have thought about making mini cookies and using those as egg fillers. Last year, as an Easter/Mother's Day gift to myself I got...

He is wrong, Lori. It is just as bad as all the other herbicides out there. It used to claim it was biodegradable but that has since been disproven. It only degraded 2% after 1 month. In addition, Roundup is the primary brand name that Monsanto sells and, personally, I won't be buying it...

Have you thought about keeping some of the critters in the greenhouse? Someone posted a greenhouse that houses rabbits, a compost pile from their waste and all the plants. Might be a good way to lengthen your planting season just a hair longer.

Does anyone know if this freezes well? I have an occassional recipe that calls for some but not necessarily the whole block.

It looks gorgeous. Ya wanna come do my house next? ;)

My guess is that tea tree oil may be involved.
