    You are so right. Funny that a majority today forget this, but I am glad that for the most part, it's meaning has mostly changed and most people are actually allowed to marry for the reasons they want. I don't have to worry, no one would marry me for money, I don't have any. :lol: :hugs for Dace

    Chia Seeds

    Oh. Well then. I admit I don't have a chia pet, but if I were to get one, it would be a hedgehog or something like that.

    New handgun holster for woman! Must see!

    "Also how comfortable would it be if you are sitting down?" Well, forgive me for saying because I don't have breasts, BUT I would imagine it would be just as comfortable as standing... Unless you hunch over a lot? And even more comfortable than a belt holster. MTN, that's CRAZY! Are you...

    government restrictions gone too far. watch this.

    I would LOVE to live that way, granted I would want solar for electricity, and a nice permanent structure with a wood stove. Does that mean I have mental problems?? Doesn't matter if he is mentally ill or what-not. Like Dac said there probably needs to be some form of inspection for waste...

    Goat people...When is the best time to sell wethers?

    Yep, and that's fine, too! I want to say that I wouldn't bother with it for the amount of goats I have, but they are all registered and are required to be hornless if they are to be shown. You won't find me touching the udder of a cow anytime soon, either. Both sides of my family had dairy...

    Goat people...When is the best time to sell wethers?

    I'd love to come help you out, maybe if I head out and visit Sally this summer.. Though it will probably be too late by then. I've heard that goats don't do very well under anesthesia.. Something about their higher body temperature? I'm not sure. Some people like their goats having horns...

    Booze!

    :hide I like a glass or two of homemade wine, but usually only on special occasions, and only enough to give a nice warm cheery buzz. Alcoholism runs in my family and has for a very long time so we are all pretty careful.

    Feeding Pregnant does.....now I'm confused....

    Some people feed alfalfa pellets as their main diet of legumes and browse... Not to be confused with grain pellets. I just don't think that feeding alfalfa will induce or help ketosis. I would need to see some more proof I think. It is true that alfalfa will help them to produce more milk, as...

    Feeding Pregnant does.....now I'm confused....

    In goats, ketosis/pregnancy toxemia is usually caused by the babies requiring and using up too much protein and energy than the doe can provide. It doesn't make sense to me to stop feeding good quality alfalfa when they need it most. We save our best quality hay and alfalfa for the 5 months of...

    Goat people...When is the best time to sell wethers?

    We disbud and castrate our goats ourselves, it's not hard at all. This is what we use; http://www.jefferslivestock.com/jeffers-band-castrating-tool/camid/LIV/cp/IA-M1/cn/31073/ In the photo, the square you see at the top, that is what the band will look like when you pry it open. You simply...

    Stuffed Acorn Squash

    Go experiment! Hmm! I bet a person could make a dessert version, squash being as sweet as it is anyway. Hmm. Some raw honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, a dollop of icecream in the middle, covered with coconut and maybe some melted chocolate. :drool Why do I do this to myself? It's more fun thinking of...

    Stuffed Acorn Squash

    Thank you. I just noticed my plate has a nice chip on it. Oh well. :P You are right.. I wanted to add celery and broccoli but I ran out. All sorts of goodies could be added to it! I bet a person could do a pepperoni and cheese style too. Yummm.
