    Small out building projects?

    If I were to look for a property right this minute, one big concern would be finding a property with an established orchard (not puny commercial orchard trees, we're talking homestead type trees). Fruit trees take a while to get going and the benefits of purchasing a property with an established...

    Food Shortage

    I don't know about you guys, but in my immediate area pretty well everyone grows their own, be it meat, milk or produce. Even a large population of those who live in town (I'm talking a town of maybe 1500 though LOL, our entire township has 4000 people) grow their own produce. We are...

    getting very frustrated looking for a dog to adopt

    I agree. Be VERY patient and perhaps open up your search to include other parts of Ontario. Your perfect dog might be waiting for you somewhere else.

    getting very frustrated looking for a dog to adopt

    We had labs for years. Definitely not small house typa dogs ;) BUT if you are looking for a smaller version of a lab with a darker coat colour (and perhaps more interesting coat colour) you *might* consider looking at F1 MINI labradoodles. You can get *very* labby looking F1s that have hardly...

    Sunburn

    Sunburn

    :( I wish I could take a bath but we don't have a bathtub. And the bathroom is being remodeled so there is no shower either (unless you count the hose with the shower setting LOL).

    Sunburn

    I was out for 15 minutes yesterday in a tube dress and my back is scorched. Like seriously, lobster red here. Its killing me and I'm unable to lie on my back to sleep because of it! Anyone got any natural/home remedies to try out? I have fair skin and burn super easily.

    Our biggest surprise is about 10 huge tomato plants growing in the old chicken run from roma and beefsteak toms we threw to the chickens last year. As well as about 40 billion sunflowers from the BOSS that was set out over the winter.

    Infection

    I have bad teeth as well. I have very soft teeth, I didn't get enough calcium while my mum was pregnant with me which caused soft teeth. I can get cavities just LOOKING at food. I have to use flouride and currently I don't have insurance so I can't afford to have the cavities I do know of filled...

    This is frustrating.

    :/ You think you guys have it bad? We're on a hill and are extremely exposed. The extent of our trees? We have 2 immature crabapples in the front garden (immature, as in bought from the garden centre this year). We have a tin roof, and no attic space so it gets really hot upstairs. My bedroom...

    This is frustrating.

    We don't have a sears in town and I don't like ordering through catelog. I'm also plus size, so tall and plus its like... this disturbing thought that the world has not even begun to understand. I wear between a 16 and an 18 in jeans. Skinny's are best for me, I've found the bell bottoms and...

    This is frustrating.

    :( I HAVE to buy $85 jeans. I'm 5'11" with long legs, everything is about 6 inches too short on me so I am forced to shop for jeans at the TallGirl store. Minimum purchase is $85, needless to say I don't often buy jeans. I got packs of 2 pairs of Yoga pants onsale at Costco a while ago for like...

    Really?!

    Oh I know, I fell down a hole this afternoon while digging post holes for the goat pen. A hole with lots of jagged rocks from the evil Canadian Shield.

    Really?!

    I'll probably die of heat stroke before the DQ dipped cone I had this afternoon kills me :) LOL

    Really?!

    Oh man I eat so badly sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE salads and all things healthy (except I have a huge aversion to any salad containing fruit or nuts or both. Gross). I was raised on all kinds of foods, being English and my parents from Essex my brother and I were basically raised on...

    This is frustrating.

    I just thought of this RIGHT NOW. I was talking about this to my mum the other day. When I was a kid Rainbow Bread was ALL THE RAGE. Like seriously, if you were cool your ham sandwich was made with RAINBOW bread. I wasn't allowed to have rainbow bread, it was a dollar more than regular whole...
