    Soaking seeds?

    I've never needed to soak anything for my garden although I'm limited to what I can grow in Zone 3-4 so I stick to basics and things that I know will grow fine.

    Your thoughts on coffee...

    I have finally kicked the coffee habit by switching to chicory coffee. Caffeine and me just don't jive well. Only 1 cup of regular coffee on an empty stomach would make me feel nauseous and lightheaded like I would puke and pass-out at the same time. I could only have it after I'd eaten. But I...

    The FDA May Change HFCS Name to Corn Sugar

    I think this has already occurred... I saw something awhile back that said "corn sugar" in the ingredients and got a good chuckle out of it. :/

    Deoderant is inherently evil.

    I've given deod/antiperspirant as well. Tom's makes my pits break out, the Crystal only works if I reapply it 15x per day. Washing is really the only thing that does work, but I'm not going to do that repeatedly though the day unless I have to go somewhere REALLY important. I just don't care if...

    Sold my house and it cost me $$$

    Right there with ya... We bought our old house for $62K, sold it for $54 (closing in April). Don't forget the 6% realtor fees since we don't live close enough now to have been able to sell it ourselves. Oh yeah and we put new siding and totally remodeled the bathroom prior to listing it so...

    This makes me truly angry

    That is just insane. I can't even imagine having to go through an investigation after having a miscarrage! Yet stranger things are being passed so nothing would even surprise me anymore...

    Best Seed Catalog??

    Here's where I order my seeds from: http://www.seedsavers.org/ http://www.victoryseeds.com/ I like the variety that Seed Savers Exchange has but I get better germination from my Victory Heirloom seeds. So I get some from each.

    Would your extended family want to mooch off you?

    I've told them they can come but they have to bring a year's worth of food for themselves. I'm can't possibly put away that much food for everyone. :lol:

    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    When enough people organize into a true rebellion against all the b. s., they can be labeled "terrorists"...

    Your Baby Can Read

    You can suggest anything you want. :lol: We all have our own ideas on what will work and what won't for our own kids, hence why we homeschool in the first place. Edit: FWIW I have been working with him and where he's having trouble is precisely the area the book tackles that I haven't been...

    Your Baby Can Read

    I'm suspicious of any infomercial... I've had several people recommend the book Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons so we're going to give that a try this fall. My son just turned 4. I'd have liked to started him earlier but he just wasn't interested until now. Keeping it fun and simple...
