If you're referring to gasoline (like for cars) then be advised it is a volatile liquid ... and I have heard (from my college organic chem professor) when stored too long you end up with paint thinner. Diesel stores well though, being a more stable distillate. One of the VERY few things I...

Take a deep breath, cheepo. You aren't gambling your retirement here, but investing in it if you see yourself living here "forever". With approximately 10,000 "Baby Boomers" turning 65 each day now ... which way do you think the stock markets will go over the next two decades?

Double-check all your local laws - here in TN posting a "Beware of Dog" sign is an admission you own a "dangerous dog" and you will lose if sued by a trespasser who is bitten. No joke ... just another example of stupid law-making. My sign says "Forget the dog, beware of OWNER!"

I used a simple dry-erase whiteboard in 07 ...

Trim, you cover a LOT of ground in your post. I'll tackle the (implied) question about buying "bare" land within a year, because I fit very neatly into that category. When I was a kid, I would tell my grandpa I wanted to take over his farm in central BFE, Missouri. He used to laugh at that...

Now why ya gotta drag ME into this? :gig :hugs (yes, I really DID have mint die on me here in TN ... trying again with a garden box, but the compost-stuff keeps trying to sprout instead.)

No set recipe, but ... leftover chicken meat, with stock/drippings made into gravy leftover veggies, of the steamed-style variety, buttered is okay but I don't do any other seasonings pie crust or biscuit dough put it into a casserole dish or pie pan then bake until done ... I've always been...

Of course, shepherds' pie. But if you want a change from that, I often used leftover mashed taters to thicken my crockpot ham & potato soup (can be done cheesy or creamy, depending on mood). Last night I made beef pot pie, with a beef roast that didn't tender up in the crock pot and leftover...

Sounds like y'all have your priorities in proper order. :thumbsup and :welcome

:welcome Recently joined here myself ... I say just jump in. "Get in where ya fit in."

It's a hobbit home! I've actually seen plans/instructions for building one ... didn't bookmark it because hubby really rolled his eyes and brought up the water-table vs digging situation in NE FL (again). I think they're cute as buttons, but hubby insists we are too tall to be hobbits. :gig

As a bit of "coincidence" between my first post and now, I bought a book at TSC called "200 Easy Homemade Cheese Recipes" by Debra Amrein-Boyes.

What would *I* do? Buy it up, put up some goat fencing, and let the goats go to town. Turn brush into goat milk or meat or both. Then again, I want dairy goats anyway ... must get out of the city soon! Once cleared, will any of land be good for garden or orchard?

You can always freeze what bones don't fit in your stock pot for later stock-making.

Welcome from KenTuckessee.

I'm in the same boat ... those "bad" potatoes I tossed into mine refuse to rot. Instead they keep trying to sprout in between frosts.

Simple elastic-waistband skirts are obscenely easy to make - right up there with pillowcases almost. Take your waist measurement, double it, buy that length in 45-48 inch width fabric you like, sew the raw edges together in a seam, hem one end and make an elastic casing with the other, then...

There's always the Utili-Kilt. Personally, I like guys in kilts ... but I still haven't convinced hubby to try one yet.

I have discovered long(ish) skirts are quite comfortable in the summer, especially when the relative humidity is up. Besides that, nowadays I dress to please myself and no one else. I have found most folks have no response or comeback to "I dress to please myself and don't care about fashion...
